The Ravens might have some depth issues at wide receiver.
During Baltimore’s 23-10 preseason-opening victory over the Tennessee Titans Thursday night, Tylan Wallace suffered a knee sprain while coach John Harbaugh said James Proche II has a soft tissue injury that could keep him out for a week or two.
With 5:10 to go in the first quarter, Wallace received the handoff on an end-around before getting tackled for a 4-yard loss by Titans outside linebacker Rashad Weaver. Wallace was evaluated inside the team’s medical tent before heading into the locker room and did not return.
Proche, on the other hand, did not appear in the game.
Wallace, a 2021 fourth-round pick, has a history of knee injuries as he suffered a torn ACL in October 2019, forcing him to miss the final five games of his junior season at Oklahoma State.
Wallace appeared in 17 games last season, including one start, and had two catches for 23 yards. He played mostly on special teams, recording 278 snaps on that unit compared with 84 snaps on offense. He’s competing for snaps at wide receiver behind Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay and Proche, all of whom did not play Thursday as the Ravens sat most of their starters.
Proche, a 2020 sixth-round pick, caught 16 passes for 202 yards last season. He’s received praised from receivers coach Tee Martin, who said the fourth-year player is having a better training camp than last summer.
“I think he’s doing even better this year, because he’s taken the next step,” Martin said. “He played a little bit more in games last year, and he understands the opportunity in front of him. So, he’s attacking it every day. He’s asking a lot of great questions, he’s playing three positions for us and playing lights out.”
The Ravens’ receivers have dealt with their share of injuries so far during training camp. Duvernay was sidelined for a week with a thigh injury he suffered during the team’s stadium practice last month, while Bateman missed two days with a soft tissue injury. Meanwhile, undrafted free agents Slade Bolden and Bailey Gaither were seen leaving practice early this week and did not play against the Titans.
With injuries to Wallace and Proche, receivers like Shemar Bridges, who had four catches for 62 yards and a touchdown Thursday, Jaylon Moore (two catches for 15 yards), Makai Polk (six catches for 63 yards) and Binjimen Victor (four catches for 30 yards) have an opportunity to make a case for themselves. Still, it seems likely the Ravens will go into the free-agent market and add a veteran wideout.
Bowser taking recovery process ‘day-by-day’
Ravens outside linebacker Tyus Bowser, who is recovering from a torn Achilles tendon, said Thursday that he is taking his recovery process “day-by-day.” When asked about his chances of playing in the regular-season opener against the New York Jets on Sept. 11, Bowser said “whenever I’m ready, I’m ready.”
Bowser was one of the Ravens’ top defensive players in 2021, registering 56 tackles, seven sacks and 15 quarterback hits before injuring his Achilles in the season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
32 players sit
Thirty-two players sat out Thursday night as Harbaugh sidelined all of his offensive starters, as well as outside linebacker Justin Houston, defensive tackle Calais Campbell, safeties Marcus Williams and Chuck Clark and cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey, Kyle Fuller and rookie Jalyn Armour-Davis.
Second-year outside linebacker Odafe Oweh played one snap in the first quarter before taking his shoulder pads off and watching the rest of the game from the sideline. Defensive tackle Michael Pierce also played in a couple of drives during the first quarter.
Omar whistle returns
It appears the Ravens will continue using the Omar whistle during their pregame introductions. Before the team took the field Thursday night, the whistling of “The Farmer in the Dell” by Omar Little from “The Wire” played throughout the stadium. Last season, the Ravens played the whistle as a tribute to the late actor Michael K. Williams, who played the scarred, shotgun-toting, stickup man in the hit HBO show.
The whistle was expected to be a one-night tribute until it went viral on social media and the team decided to keep it moving forward.
Omar’s whistle recently found its way to Camden Yards, as Orioles closer Félix Bautista used it to spice up his introduction to the mound. Even though Bautista said he doesn’t know what “The Wire” is, he liked the idea of the track signifying intimidation for opposing hitters.
Tribute for late Ravens
Before the national anthem, the Ravens held a moment of silence to honor former players Jaylon Ferguson and Tony Siragusa, who died in June.
Ferguson, 26, was entering his fourth season in Baltimore after being picked in the third round of the 2019 draft. He died from the combined effects of fentanyl and cocaine, the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said after the outside linebacker was found unresponsive in a North Baltimore home. Siragusa, who died at 55, spent five of his 12-year NFL career with the Ravens and helped lead the team to its first Super Bowl title in franchise history.

In Biden’s big bill: Climate, health care, deficit reduction
By LISA MASCARO
AP Congressional Correspondent
WASHINGTON (AP) — The biggest investment ever in the U.S. to fight climate change. A hard-fought cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for seniors in the Medicare program. A new corporate minimum tax to ensure big businesses pay their share. And billions leftover to pay down federal deficits. All told, the Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act may not do much to immediately tame inflationary price hikes. But the package heading toward final passage in Congress and to the White House for President Joe Biden’s signature will touch countless American lives with longtime party proposals. Here’s a look at what’s in the estimated $740 billion economic package. | https://kion546.com/news/2022/08/11/in-bidens-big-bill-climate-health-care-deficit-reduction/ | 2022-08-12T06:26:42Z | https://kion546.com/news/2022/08/11/in-bidens-big-bill-climate-health-care-deficit-reduction/ | true |

Young took over the third quarter, scoring 16 points in the opening seven minutes to give Las Vegas a 63-48 lead. The Aces dribbled down the clock at the end of the quarter but Candace Parker blocked Riquna Williams’ jumper and Kahleah Copper raced to the other end for a 3-pointer to get the Sky within 71-61.
But the Aces held on, leading by at least nine points throughout the fourth quarter.
A’ja Wilson and Williams each scored 12 points for Las Vegas.
Copper tied a career-high with 28 points for Chicago, which was undone by 17 turnovers. Parker had 15 points, 12 rebounds and six assists, and Emma Meesseman scored 14. Allie Quigley went 1 for 7 from the field for four points and Courtney Vandersloot was held to six points and six assists.
Parker passed Rebekkah Brunson for third in WNBA history with 3,364 career rebounds. Sylvia Fowles holds the record with 3,982 and Tina Charles is second with 3,626.

'It's a boys' club': Report lifts the lid on sexism, bullying and abuse in the NSW parliament
Confidential interviews with staff at the NSW parliament have lifted the lid on what a report has described as a hard-drinking, predatory boys' club.
Almost 450 people working at the parliament were interviewed as part of the review by former sex discrimination commissioner Elizabeth Broderick.
The report reveals how the offices of certain MPs and ministers are known to be "hotspots", ruled by aggressive and abusive elected members who bully, micro-manage and gaslight staff, with devastating consequences.
Here are some of the findings detailed in the report:
'It's a bit of a boys' club
Some of the comments described a sexist culture pervading the parliament, where MPs are heard making lewd comments about female colleagues and staff.
"It's a bit of a boys' club. There's sexting in the parliament," one staff member said.
"Conversations in front of junior members of staff about which staff member the MPs would like to have sex with.
"Like locker room talk. I was shocked."
Another woman surveyed said there was a power imbalance and it was commonplace for MPs to use their position to manipulate and abuse young staff.
"It's very normalised, the MP and chief of staff sleeping with junior staff," she said.
"I did not observe coercion but there was absolutely taking advantage.
"It felt like the 1970s, old rich white men employing these beautiful young women in their 20s."
Another respondent said some MPs only hired females who were good-looking and under a certain age.
"It seems to be an approach to increase your chances of sex by hiring the 'right stock'."
One woman described how the MP she worked for would remark on the appearance of women in the office.
"Some days you would walk into the office and they would make a comment that was inappropriate, such as 'Jeez, your boobs look good in that'."
One female policy advisor said there was a culture of women being assigned organisational roles while men dealt with the policy work.
"Male staffers would constantly take credit for the work of women advisors.
"Even as a policy advisor, MPs would ask me to do a coffee run when they would never have asked a male policy advisor to do so."
She described the pay gap between male and female staffers as "outrageous".
Only 57 per cent of women surveyed said they felt safe working in the parliament at night compared with 80 per cent of men.
Offices a hotspot for bullying
Some MPs and ministers' offices in the parliament are described as "well-known hotspots" for bullying with a revolving door of staffers.
The report says people leave these offices traumatised and "nothing changes".
Staff described a leadership lottery where the culture of the office was dependent on the particular MP or minister.
"There are some MPs that are known to be the worst office to work in," one respondent says.
"Some MPs just don't have any boundaries at all."
One unnamed MP's office is reported to be "well-known" as the worst of the bunch.
"They enjoy bringing grown men to tears. Employees are bullied, traumatised and no legitimate action can be taken."
One staff member said they were in tears most days and were told they would get used to it.
"The party knew and turned a blind eye."
Another staff described the culture of his office.
"In a nutshell, my MP is highly emotional, super-aggressive, rude and abusive towards staff.
"To give you some examples, they will walk into the office and won't acknowledge or talk to you at all, go straight to their office and just shut the door."
Power imbalance
The report found one of the key drivers of the abuse was the power imbalance between parliamentarians and their staff.
One employee described a reign of terror.
"You are expected to work being bullied and harassed, being yelled at, getting up in your face, hanging up the phone on you, being threatened with being sacked.
"People fear they will lose their job if they speak up but you end up losing really good people anyway because they leave — they say it's just not worth it."
Some offices were described as "dysfunctional" with staff feeling like they were constantly "walking on eggshells".
"If you make a mistake, you get told off in a very adversarial manner, get sworn at and told that you are shit at your job."
Another employee spoke about staff being treated as "chattels" that could be discarded at the whim of the MP.
"In my experience, if you have two people working together for 16-hour days and one of those people has the power to tell the other to do whatever they want them to or it could be the end of their job, it takes a strong person to not abuse that power."
The report heard that MPs are at the top of the hierarchy and are not held accountable for their behaviour at all.
"Staff are at the bottom and have few, if any, rights."
Another employee reported a "toxic" work environment where the elected member pitted staff against one another.
"They can do whatever they want, whenever they want. That's the part I can't handle," the person said.
"These people write laws that abuse can't occur in society but it goes on in parliament."
The leadership style of some MPs was described as "aggressive", "punitive" and "bullying".
In the staff survey, 60 per cent of the workforce agreed that the hierarchical nature of parliament made it difficult to call out unacceptable behaviour
Win-at-all-cost mindset
There was a view among many MPs and staff that the adversarial nature of the parliament plays a role in the culture of the institution.
Some expressed scepticism that change could occur in such an environment.
"I would say the culture as a whole is very hierarchical, exclusionary, brutal and elitist.
"I mean you only have to look at how members behave towards each other in question time and how such behaviour is celebrated to see how that culture is set from the top, which then flows down to staff and others in parliament."
Another staff member agreed: "The environment of the bear pit in the Legislative Assembly chamber sets the tone for the whole parliament.
"All the qualities of being a fighter are great in an MP but terrible in a boss."
The win-at-all-costs mindset common in politics can prove detrimental when it comes to the workplace.
"The environment which we work in which is largely about bringing your opponents down and doing anything to get ahead, it does not sit well with a working environment that is supportive, empathetic, fair or equal."
Drinking culture
Alcohol was a contributory factor in some of the incidents reported, particularly when it came to sexual harassment.
The report found there was a "drinking culture" in the building with MPs and staff drinking in the staff bar and in offices.
"MPs make lewd comments, especially at drinks."
Young staff often felt pressured to join in.
"There's people drinking between sitting sessions. It gets out of control sometimes.
"You wouldn't get away with it in any other workplace."
Of the MPs surveyed, 68 per cent agreed that drinking alcohol during work hours was seen as acceptable. | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-12/report-lifts-the-lid-on-culture-at-nsw-parliament/101327006 | 2022-08-12T06:37:17Z | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-12/report-lifts-the-lid-on-culture-at-nsw-parliament/101327006 | true |
Cost of living: Teachers' union issues strike vote warning over pay
By Gareth Pennant
Political reporter, BBC Wales
- Published
Members of a teaching union have warned of a potential vote on strike action after its members in Wales rejected a below-inflation pay rise.
NASUWT surveyed its members in Wales and said 78% believe the pay award was "inadequate".
Inflation, the rate at which prices are rising, currently stands at 9.4% and is predicted to reach 13% in October.
There are 26,600 teachers in Wales with the average pay at £39,009.
In July, Education Minister Jeremy Miles accepted the recommendations of an independent pay review body that salaries should rise by 5%.
That will put starting salaries for new teachers at £28,866, with those of more experienced classroom teachers rising to £44,450.
But NASUWT, a TUC-affiliated trade union representing teachers and headteachers in the UK, called for 12% in 2022/23 and has threatened to ballot for strike action in the autumn unless there is a further increase.
Of the nearly 700 teachers who responded to its survey, the union also said 70% disagreed with or were angry with the Welsh government's offer.
"The Welsh Government's pay offer falls way short of what teachers are demanding, following a decade of real terms pay cuts and the current cost of living crisis," said Neil Butler, NASUWT's official in Wales.
"This pay offer takes the teacher pay gap since 2010 to 22.4%.
"NASUWT members have again told us that they reject the imposition of a below-inflation pay award."
Salaries could go up by 3.5% in the second year, subject to a review.
Dr Patrick Roach, NASUWT general secretary, added: "Ministers have refused to respond to our calls for proper negotiations and, once again, we are calling on ministers to get around the table to find a solution.
"However, in the event that there is no improvement, the union remains committed to balloting its members in the autumn term for industrial action."
Mr Miles previously said he was limited in how far he could go in raising pay and criticised the UK government's funding settlement for Wales.
A similar pay - 5% for most teachers - has been offered in England.
In a previous response to Welsh government criticism, the UK government said the Welsh government has had more funding than at any time since devolution began. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62505922 | 2022-08-12T06:40:47Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-62505922 | false |

Cute cars do tend come at cheap rates Attorneys argue over whether marijuana dispensaries should be allowed in Great Falls
The parties in a suit over marijuana dispensaries inside the city limits were in court on Thursday to determine whether or not the plaintiffs had a case against the city of Great Falls.
More:Great Falls planning board won't recommend proposed marijuana dispensary zoning codes
Cascade County District Judge David Grubich did not make a ruling on whether to grant Janelle and Dale Yatsko a preliminary injunction. Instead, the parties will present one last set of briefs and responses before Grubich makes a decision on the case’s final outcome.
That decision could come as early as two weeks from now.
The Yatskos have owned a marijuana dispensary outside the city limits for 14 years. In February, they filed for a Safety Inspection Certificate application with the city and were denied based on a city zoning code that reads, “no use of land shall be permitted by right or conditionally permitted within the city of Great Falls that is in violation of federal, state or local law.”
More:Great Falls planning board won't recommend proposed marijuana dispensary zoning codes
Since recreational marijuana use is still prohibited under federal law, marijuana businesses are not allowed within the city limits of Great Falls.
The Yatskos filed suit in June asking for a preliminary injunction against the city.
The couple’s attorney, Raph Graybill, argued in Thursday’s hearing that the passage of legislation legalizing marijuana sales in Montana should supersede any city ordinance that is inconsistent with state law.
Graybill also argued that legislation states the only way to change a county’s status from approval to disapproval of recreational cannabis or vice versa is a vote from the public. He said the city violated that law by effectively prohibiting cannabis sales inside Great Falls.
Great Falls City Attorney Jeff Hindoien contended that the judge has the obligation to preserve the status quo and to minimize harm to all parties when making a decision. He argued that the city is allowed to create codes that are more stringent than state law but not ones that are less stringent than state law.
Hindoien also pointed out that the original framework for recreational marijuana legalization had an express condition stating that charter municipalities like Great Falls could not prohibit sales within the city. The iteration of the bill that passed, however, was stripped of that condition.
Hindoien said a local referendum is in the works for the November ballot to put the issue to voters of whether marijuana dispensaries can operate in Great Falls.
However, Graybill said it's still an open question as to whether or not that referendum will go through. He said that the Yatskos' litigation is not moot because someone could, in theory, seek a preliminary injunction arguing that the election is invalid. | https://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/news/crime/2022/08/11/attorneys-argue-over-whether-marijuana-can-be-sold-in-great-falls/65400751007/ | 2022-08-12T06:42:15Z | https://www.greatfallstribune.com/story/news/crime/2022/08/11/attorneys-argue-over-whether-marijuana-can-be-sold-in-great-falls/65400751007/ | true |

Johnson & Johnson will stop selling its talc-based baby powder worldwide starting next year, in what it called a “commercial decision” aimed at ensuring long-term growth.
Activist shareholders had previously pushed the firm to stop selling the talc-based powder products internationally.
Johnson & Johnson said Thursday that it remains “firmly behind” the view that its talc-based goods are safe, do not cause cancer and do not contain asbestos. Asbestos exposure has been linked to lung cancer but there is debate over whether the material can cause ovarian cancer; Johnson & Johnson has lost court cases involving claims that its talc-based powders cause the latter.
Ben Whiting, an attorney at the Chicago-based Keller Postman law firm, said that there would have been a “real and negative impact on litigation” in the United States if Johnson & Johnson had made the decision to stop selling talc-based products internationally at an earlier time.
Talcum is made from the mineral talc, which mainly consists of magnesium, silicon and oxygen. In its natural form, some talc contains asbestos, which the American Cancer Society says can cause cancer in and around the lungs when inhaled. The U.S. personal goods industry has long had guidelines prescribing that beauty products should not contain detectable amounts of asbestos.
Johnson & Johnson had previously complained of “misinformation” over the talc-based powder’s safety and a “barrage of litigation advertising.”
The company will transition to selling only cornstarch-based baby powder. In 2020, Johnson & Johnson said that demand for its baby powder is higher outside the United States and Canada. Some 75 percent of its U.S. baby powder customers buy the cornstarch version, while only 25 percent purchase talcum powder, according to Bloomberg News. Those percentages are reversed outside the United States.
Since 2014, Johnson & Johnson has faced lawsuits in the United States from consumers who alleged they contracted cancer after using the company’s talc-based products for prolonged periods. The suits accused the company of hiding and downplaying cancer risks, and asked for compensation.
Johnson & Johnson has disputed those claims, with mixed results. It has found some success reducing jury awards that ordered it to pay out billions of dollars, but it still faces large penalties.
In 2016, Jacqueline Fox won a suit against the company, in the first case of monetary compensation being awarded against Johnson & Johnson over a talc-based powder product. A Missouri jury ordered the company to pay Fox’s family $72 million. Fox died before the ruling from ovarian cancer, which she partly blamed on her decades of using Johnson’s talc-based powder.
In 2017, a Los Angeles jury ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay $417 million to Eva Echeverria, who said her terminal ovarian cancer was linked to her use of the baby powder.
In 2020, Missouri’s highest court let stand an earlier appeal court decision ordering the company to pay $2.1 billion to women who claimed they contracted ovarian cancer after using its talc products. That amount was a reduction from the original $4.7 billion that a jury had awarded, after some original plaintiffs were dismissed from the case. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to review a Johnson & Johnson appeal. | https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/08/12/johnson-and-johnson-talcum-baby-powder/ | 2022-08-12T06:49:35Z | https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/08/12/johnson-and-johnson-talcum-baby-powder/ | true |

The New Mexico Public Education Department’s heart is in the right place with a new discipline model aimed at reducing “exclusionary punishment.” Kicking wrongdoing students to the curb without support and interventions does nothing to get them on the right track.
However, a June news release announcing the launch of “trauma-responsive and restorative practices” in schools across the state emphasizes support for the aggressor without any mention of support for the victim.
It’s true suspending or expelling aggressors does little to nothing to address the root causes of why they may be acting out. And such discipline allows the aggressors a vacation from school, putting them further behind in classwork.
“The traditional model of discipline is punitive and exclusionary,” says Emma Green, who was hired recently as PED’s first prevention, response and resiliency coordinator. “Trauma-responsive and restorative practices are based on accountability and inclusiveness so that we can keep kids in class to learn. This helps a student’s attendance and academic achievement.”
Green’s hiring in May and the launch of a new discipline approach were announced in the June news release. “Chronic trauma – including abuse, neglect, homelessness, domestic violence or community violence – affects children’s brain and behavioral development. It can cause hypervigilance and impact their memory and executive functions, including the ability to pay attention, plan and think things through,” states the release.
“When these children misbehave, most schools use disciplinary policies that involve withdrawing attention and support rather than addressing their problems.”
The policy also says behavioral supports should take priority over disciplinary consequences.
For example, misbehavior may result in a “talking circle” where a group and the offender discuss how the offender’s actions harmed people, relationships and communities.
House Minority Whip Rod Montoya, R-Farmington, is not sold on the idea.
“The problem I have with this restorative justice system that’s in place … is it goes too far in worrying about restoring the victimizer,” he said. “We’re worried, I think, sometimes too much for the one at the expense of the many. We need to make sure that the learning environment is not disrupted.”
Point taken.
Call us cynics, but aren’t kids smart enough to realize if there are no serious negative consequences for their actions, there is little incentive to change their behavior?
Education Secretary Kurt Steinhaus counters by saying restorative justice practices can de-escalate tensions between students before they get out of hand, while avoiding piling more trauma on the aggressors, who could be victims themselves of abuse or neglect.
Also true.
So why does it have to be one or the other? Why not implement discipline such as in-school suspension while also providing support and trying to get at the root cause of the offender’s misbehavior?
Of course, a major challenge is to provide this support when schools are understaffed and resources are stretched thin — in a public school system where the state’s average counselor-to-student ratio is 426-to-1.
PED needs to hit the right balance that protects victims while trying to get aggressors on a path that’s not self-destructive. We agree all but the most serious infractions should involve in-school suspensions where students can keep up with their studies, be mentored and get support.
The last thing our schools need is another unfunded, unstaffed mandate that expects them to be all things — parent, teacher, counselor, coach, babysitter, friend, etc. Restorative justice initiatives have value and may be the future in K-12 education. But they need to be implemented with realistic staffing and support.
And they should always put victims first.

TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Halo Collective Inc. ("Halo" or the "Company") (NEO: HALO) (OTCQX: HCANF) (Germany: A9KN) today announced the appointment of Katie Field, Chief Executive Officer of Halo, to Chairman of the board of directors of the Company (the "Board"), effective immediately. Current Chairman Ryan Kunkel has resigned from the Board to focus on other professional endeavors. To the knowledge of the Company, Ms. Field is the second woman to serve as Chairman and CEO of a publicly traded cannabis company, the first being Kim Rivers of Trulieve (CSE:TRUL).
Cassidy McCord, Director, said, "It was an obvious decision to appoint Katie as Chairman of the Board. Her demonstrated accomplishments and female perspective are exactly what Halo requires at this critical time. With Katie at the helm, we are confident that Halo has the right leader to be the premier west coast-focused cannabis company, and to leverage our competitive strengths to pursue other emerging pathways to wellness. As important, with the prudent and timely actions she has taken to focus the strategy on the core business while eliminating significant cost, Katie has put the Company firmly on track to reaccelerate revenue and to return to profitability."
Ms. Field will assume the Chairman role with nearly a decade of direct cannabis experience spanning all facets of the business, including strategy, retail, corporate development, business development, HR & organization, legal & regulatory, and investor relations. She has been a key member of the Halo executive team since joining the Company in April 2019, serving initially as Chief Strategy Officer, President since February 2020, and Board member since July 2021. Ms. Field first entered the cannabis industry in 2014 at Costa Farms, where she led the procurement, build-out, and sale of one of five original vertically integrated companies in Florida; subsequently operated a strategy consulting practice focused on cannabis and also worked at MariMed as EVP of Corporate Development. Her resume includes positions at The Brookings Institution and Bain & Company. She holds an MBA from Columbia Business School and a BA with honors from Stanford University.
"Since becoming CEO in early July, Katie has proven that she has the right experience and capabilities to leverage the Company's valuable assets to create tangible and sustainable shareholder value," commented Ryan Kunkel. "She has aggressively eliminated significant annual recurring costs, preserved profitable revenue and focused on tactical strategies in California and Oregon to produce near term results. I could not leave Halo in better hands. It has been a pleasure working with her and I look forward to Halo's success with Katie at the helm while I focus on my other pursuits, including helping Akanda with business development."
Ms. Field commented, "I am thrilled and honored to lead the Company at this critical juncture and look forward to building Halo's business and generating shareholder value with our more focused strategy."
Concluded Ms. Field, "On behalf of the entire Board, I thank Ryan for his exceptional guidance and incredible commitment to Halo over the past several years. His contributions and insights have been invaluable."
Among over 50 publicly traded cannabis companies in North America, Ms. Field is, to the knowledge of the Company, only the second female to serve in both the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman roles.
Halo is focused on the United States West Coast, where it has vertically integrated operations covering the entire value chain from seed to sale. Halo cultivates, extracts, manufactures, and distributes quality cannabis flower, pre-rolls, vape carts, edibles, and concentrates. Halo sells these products under a portfolio of brands, including Hush™, Winberry Farms™, its retail brand Budega™, and license agreements with Papa's Herb®, DNA Genetics, and FlowerShop*. In addition, Halo has opened two dispensaries in Los Angeles under the Budega™ brand in North Hollywood and Hollywood, with plans to open one more in Hollywood in the third quarter of 2022.
In the non-THC sector, Halo is expanding into health and wellness categories, including CBD and functional supplements such as nootropic nutraceuticals and non-psychotropic mushrooms. Halo, through a series of acquisitions, has product offerings in the form of beverages (H2C Beverages), dissolvable strips (Dissolve Medical), capsules (Hushrooms™), and topical supplements (Hatshe) with proposed national distribution via a strategic agreement with SWAY Energy Corporation.
Halo has successfully acquired and integrated a variety of companies which were subsequently reorganized to create Akanda Corp. (NASDAQ: AKAN), an international medical cannabis and wellness company, of which Halo currently owns 12,674,957 common shares worth approximately US$15.8 million as of August 9, 2022. Halo has also acquired a range of software development assets, including CannPOS, Cannalift, CannaFeels, and a discrete sublingual dosing technology, Accudab. Halo intends to reorganize these entities (including their intellectual property and patent applications) into a subsidiary called Halo Tek Inc. and to complete the distribution of the shares of Halo Tek Inc. to shareholders on record at a date to be determined.

Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are non-IFRS financial measures that the Company uses to assess its operating performance and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Management defines Adjusted Gross Profit as Gross Profit adjusted for fair value gains or losses on biological assets, and impairments included in cost of goods sold. Management defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization, as adjusted for non-cash items. These non-IFRS measures are provided to assist management and investors in determining the Company's operating performance. The Company also believes that securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties frequently use these non-IFRS measures in the evaluation of companies, many of which present similar metrics when reporting their results. As other companies may calculate these non-IFRS measures differently than the Company, these metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We caution readers that Adjusted EBITDA should not be substituted for determining net loss as an indicator of operating results, or as a substitute for cash flows from operating and investing activities. For a reconciliation of Adjusted Gross Profit and Adjusted EBITDA, please refer to "Non-IFRS Measures" in the Q1 2022 MD&A, which is available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.

While the size of the app market grew tremendously in the past two years, partly due to the pandemic, global mobile apps market is expected to slow down in its growth in 2022.
According to SafeBettingSites.com, the global app market is expected to increase by just 5.7% in 2022. In comparison, the global app market had grown by 25.7% in 2021.
As per the data available on Statista, the global app market is expected to produce $420.73bn in revenue in 2022.
The majority of the revenue is expected to come from advertising, with advertising earning $214.9bn for mobile apps, accounting for 51% of the total revenue.
In-app purchases would contribute $200.6bn in revenue, whereas revenue from paid apps should account for only $5.23bn. It must be noted that most of the paid app revenue comes from games.
The annual revenue from mobile app markets was just $215.86bn. Hence, the market size has almost doubled in the next four years.
In 2019, the annual revenue increased to $253.02bn, indicating a 17% growth. However, the real spurt in the growth came in 2020 when the market grew by a massive 25%, and the annual revenue became $316.6bn. The market sustained the growth rate in 2021 as it grew further by 25.7%, with $397.94bn in revenue.
However, the annual growth rate is expected to drop. The mobile app market is expected to grow similarly in the next few years.
As per Statista projections, the mobile app market will grow from $420.73bn in 2022 to $542.89bn in 2026. These figures represent a growth of just 29% over four years. In comparison, the market grew by 95% from 2018 to 2022. | https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/16/230503.html | 2022-08-12T07:10:36Z | https://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/16/230503.html | true |

Therese Sanchez removes some smaller versions of the Hometown Heroes banners on display Thursday at the Santa Fe National Cemetery depicting members of her family that served during World War II. A ceremony was held to hang some veterans banners while others will be placed along St. Francis Drive and Guadalupe Street.
Stella Vigil Lavadie, 101, listens to speakers during a Thursday ceremony at Santa Fe National Cemetery to announce Hometown Heroes banners will be hung on utility poles along St. Francis Drive and Guadalupe Street.
Stella Vigil Lavadie had 101 years worth of smiles on her face as the banner honoring her military service waved at motorists passing by the Santa Fe National Cemetery on Thursday.
Looking at the image of her younger self in uniform on a Hometown Heroes banner — the first to go up in a new round of banner installations sponsored by the state — the centenarian U.S. Women’s Air Corps veteran said, “I never thought I would see something this beautiful.”
It brought back memories — of her father, Abel Vigil, who joined the U.S. Army during World War I, and of the United States calling her to serve in World War II. Those recollections made her smile, not cry, as those around her applauded her service and the banner.
Her work in American military supply units on various bases in the country during World War II “helped to release a man to go overseas and do his duty,” she said.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham hung Lavadie’s banner with the help of a bucket truck and its crew moments after talking before a small crowd about the state’s plan to install more than 130 of the banners, which honor living and deceased military veterans from Santa Fe families.
The banners will be installed along
St. Francis Drive, a state-maintained road, and along Guadalupe Street up to the cemetery.
Lujan Grisham said the stretch of state roads honoring the veterans will be known as Hero Highway.
“This is the right way to make it clear to visitors what we stand for,” she said.
The banners had hung on street poles along Cerrillos Road between Airport Road and Interstate 25 for the past three years, but they were removed in June after reports the poles could not safely handle decorative banners in high winds.
The city has been attempting to find a home for the banners — over 340 — since then.
Santa Fe Mayor Alan Webber said the City Council will hold a special meeting Monday to discuss its plan to reinstate the rest of the banners to “get us back on track.”
“We don’t want to disrespect our veterans,” Webber said.
City Councilor Michael Garcia said he hopes the city can display them along poles in the Railyard District and around the Plaza. But, he added, the city is open to other possibilities.
The banners include the names, faces, rank and years of service of each veteran. Traditionally, they are put up just before Memorial Day in late May and come down after Veterans Day in mid-November.
During Thursday’s ceremony, Lavadie sat in a wheelchair holding a bouquet of red roses. She said she hopes all the banners go up to pay tribute to those who swore allegiance to the military and served to keep America safe and free.
Both her sons served in the U.S. Army, she said, as did her late husband, Sam Lavadie.
Stella Vigil Lavadie, born in Taos in 1921, earned a teaching certificate at New Mexico Highlands University, according to a 2010 New Mexican story.
She had taught in an elementary school for two years before World War II erupted.
After the war, she worked for Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Bureau of Land Management.
Asked to offer a few words before Lujan Grisham attached her banner to the pole, Lavadie garnered a collective laugh from the assembly when she said: “I can’t explain how I feel — that at 101; I’m alive here at the cemetery instead of being dead.”

This innovative solution will make it easier for customers to send and receive money through the Yellow Card crypto exchange platform, without any extra charges, instantly all from the comfort of their home.
Oparinde Babatunde, Yellow Card Director of Operations, says one of the biggest challenges in Africa is the difficulty in money transfer. Stating that it is easier to send money from Nigeria to the US, than it is to send money from Nigeria to Ghana (https://bit.ly/3C0kfHv) or Zambia. And in the instances where it is possible it is usually through USD.
“Yellow Pay simplifies money transfer between African countries by building a solution that understands the way Africans already interact with financial products. We’ve managed to simplify it further by reducing costs and waiting time of remittance across the continent drastically compared to traditional money transfer rails. With Yellow Pay, Africans can send money across borders using their phones,” he says.
Yellow Pay uses Yellow Card’s crypto exchange platform to complete customer transactions in USDT. It is important to note that Yellow Pay is not a money remittance or foreign currency exchange service. Rather, Yellow Pay is an advanced crypto exchange product.
There are several benefits to using Yellow Pay. Firstly, the service is powered by blockchain technology making it cheaper. Secondly, transactions are instant so there’s no waiting period. Lastly, money transfers are absolutely free. And lastly, the uses are endless as one can: send money for business, school and healthcare. Gift cash to friends and family across Africa, pay vendors in other countries, receive payment for services, pay bills and fees in other African currencies and so much more.
Oparinde adds that “The people that will benefit from Yellow Pay the most are the unbanked and underserved people living in peri-urban areas and rural parts of the continent. They usually do not meet the necessary requirements to open a dollar account with banks and as such are cut off completely. Yellow Pay will service this market”.
The launch of Yellow Pay (https://bit.ly/3Qmjaht) not only makes it easier for money transfer but also opens up the continent to more investment, access to credit, business grants and generally will improve the ease of doing business.

A community is calling for the removal of a “potentially fatal” slide which has caused more than 40 injuries to young children, including several broken bones.
A “furious” parent is circulating a community petition after her three-year-old daughter broke her leg on the slide at Boongaree Nature Play Park in Berry.
Taylah Hall said she had been wary of the slide, but said “since reading reports that the slide had been fixed and that council now deemed it safe, we trusted that”.
Her husband Mitch Liddicoat went down the slide with their young daughter and he said they were “thrown around like a tumble dryer”.
“It catapulted us from one side of the slide to the other and she smashed her leg,” he said.
“The injury was specifically because of the design of the slide.”
Ms Hall said her daughter’s scream still haunts her and she was “furious” that Harlow broke her leg on a slide designed for children.
“I know for a fact that if my husband wasn’t on there with her, her injuries would have been a million times worse, if not fatal,” she wrote in the Change.org petition.
Mr Liddicoat said Harlow’s broken leg showed how dangerous the slide is for children.
“It could get to the point where a child goes down in the wrong spot and they don’t get to go home with their family at all,” he told NCA Newswire.
The $6.5m playground has only been open for eight months, but it has caused more than 40 serious injuries, including broken collarbones and head injuries.
One local said her young son was hospitalised after he suffered a facial fracture and dislodged teeth while using the slide.
The south coast playground made headlines in April when a four-year-old girl broke both of her legs when she was going down the slide. When her mother reached out to the community, she found more than 30 parents with children who had been injured at Boongaree.
Doctors at the local hospital told Mr Liddicoat they see numerous children who were injured at the park each week. The same is true of the Wollongong Fracture Clinic, who told him they have a “steady stream” of young patients who were hurt in the newly built playground.
After the safety issues were raised, Shoalhaven City Council engaged Kidsafe NSW to conduct an assessment of compliance and performance of the Bongaree Play Park against Australian standards.
A Kidsafe NSW spokesperson said the results of the assessment were directly sent to the council and have not publicly been released. Mr Liddicoat said he believed the playground had been given the all clear.
“Obviously if the slide is open, it’s been deemed safe for the public and children to use,” he said.
The petition to remove or modify the slide at the Berry playground had drummed up more than 120 signatures in the four days it’s been viable.
While Mr Liddicoat and Ms Hall said they are not considering legal action against the council, he knows other families with injured children are looking to pursue legal avenues.
After the petition became public, Shoalhaven City Council has acted decisively. Mr Liddicoat said the council had contacted him to let him know the slide had been closed and they would be engaging another independent assessor to examine the park’s safety.

LUX, France (AP) — Once, a river ran through it. Now, white dust and thousands of dead fish cover the wide trench that winds amid rows of trees in France’s Burgundy region in what was the Tille River in the village of Lux.
From dry and cracked reservoirs in Spain to falling water levels on major arteries like the Danube, the Rhine and the Po, an unprecedented drought is afflicting nearly half of the European continent. It is damaging farm economies, forcing water restrictions, causing wildfires and threatening aquatic species.
There has been no significant rainfall for almost two months in Western, Central and Southern Europe. And the dry period is expected to continue in what experts say could be the worst drought in 500 years.
Climate change is exacerbating conditions as hotter temperatures speed up evaporation, thirsty plants take in more moisture and reduced snowfall in the winter limits supplies of fresh water available for irrigation in the summer. Europe isn't alone in the crisis, with drought conditions also reported in East Africa, the western United States and northern Mexico.
As he walked in the 15-meter-wide (50-foot-wide) riverbed in Lux, Jean-Philippe Couasné, chief technician at the local Federation for Fishing and Protection of the Aquatic Environment, listed the species of fish that had died in the Tille.
“It’s heartbreaking,” he said. “On average, about 8,000 liters (about 2,100 gallons) per second are flowing. ... And now, zero liters.”
In some areas upstream, some of the trout and other freshwater species are able take shelter in pools via fish ladders. But such systems aren't available everywhere.
Without rain, the river “will continue to empty. And yes, all fish will die. ... They are trapped upstream and downstream, there’s no water coming in, so the oxygen level will keep decreasing as the (water) volume will go down,” Couasné said. “These are species that will gradually disappear."
Jean-Pierre Sonvico, the regional head of the federation, said diverting the fish to other rivers won't help because those waterways also are affected, which will lead to overcrowding and more deaths.
“Yes, it’s dramatic because what can we do? Nothing," he said. “We’re waiting, hoping for storms with rain, but storms are very local so we can't count on it.”
The European Commission’s Joint Research Center warned this week that drought conditions will get worse and potentially affect 47% of the continent.
Andrea Toreti, a senior researcher at the European Drought Observatory, said a drought in 2018 was so extreme that there were no similar events for the last 500 years, "but this year, I think, it is really worse.”
For the next three months, "we see still a very high risk of dry conditions over Western and Central Europe, as well as the U.K.,” Toreti said.
The current situation is the result of long periods of dry weather caused by changes in world weather systems, said meteorologist Peter Hoffmann of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research near Berlin.
“It’s just that in summer we feel it the most,” he said. “But actually the drought builds up across the year.”
Climate change has lessened the temperature differences between regions, sapping the forces that drive the jet stream, which normally brings wet Atlantic weather to Europe, he said.
A weaker or unstable jet stream can result in unusually hot air coming to Europe from North Africa, leading to prolonged periods of heat. The reverse is also true, when a polar vortex of cold air from the Arctic can cause freezing conditions far south of where it would normally reach.
Hoffmann said observations in recent years have all been at the upper end of what the existing climate models predicted.
The drought has caused some European countries to impose restrictions on water usage, and shipping is endangered on the Rhine and the Danube.
The Rhine could reach critical low levels in the coming days, making the transport of goods — including coal and gasoline — increasingly difficult. On the Danube, authorities in Serbia have started dredging sand to deepen the waterway and keep vessels moving smoothly.
In neighboring Hungary, wide parts of popular Lake Velence near Budapest, have turned into patches of dried mud, beaching small boats. Aeration and water circulation equipment have been installed to protect wildlife, but water quality has deteriorated to the point that a ban on swimming was imposed at one beach on weekends.
Stretches of the Po, Italy's longest river, are so low that barges and boats that sank decades ago are resurfacing.
The drought also has affected southern England, which received only 10% of its average rainfall in July. Firefighters are battling an unprecedented number of grass fires and people in several areas have been banned from watering their lawns.
The Rivers Trust charity said England’s chalk streams — which allow underground springs to bubble up through the spongy layer of rock — are drying up, endangering aquatic wildlife like kingfishers and trout.
Even in countries like Spain and Portugal, which are used to long periods without rain, there have been major consequences. In the Spanish region of Andalucia, some avocado farmers have had to sacrifice hundreds of trees to save others from wilting as the Vinuela reservoir in Malaga province dropped to only 13% of capacity, down 55% from a year ago.
Some European farmers are using water from the tap for their livestock in areas where ponds and streams have gone dry, using up to 100 litres (26 gallons) a day per cow.
In normally green Burgundy, home to the source of Paris' Seine River, the grass has turned yellow-brown and tractors churn up giant clouds of dust.
Baptiste Colson, who owns dairy cows and grows feed crops in the village of Moloy, said his animals are suffering in the drought, with the quality and quantity of the milk decreasing.
The 31-year-old head of the local Jeunes Agriculteurs (Young Farmers) union said he has been forced to dip into his winter supply of fodder in August.
“That is the biggest concern,” Colson said.
EU corn production is expected to be 12.5 million tons below last year and sunflower production is projected to be 1.6 million tons lower, according to a report from S&P Global Commodity Insights.
Colson expects at least a 30% drop in corn yield, a major problem for feeding his cows.
“We know we’ll have to buy food ... so the cows can continue producing milk,” he said. "From an economic point of view, the cost will be high.”

If you were exposed to COVID-19, take three home tests instead of two to make sure you’re not infected, according to new U.S. recommendations released Thursday.
Previously, the Food and Drug Administration had advised taking two rapid antigen tests over two or three days to rule out infection. But the agency says new studies suggest that protocol can miss too many infections, and could result in people spreading the coronavirus to others, especially if they don't develop symptoms.
The new guidance applies to people without symptoms who think they may have been exposed. People with symptoms can continue using two tests spaced 48 hours apart.
Thursday's update reflects the evolving understanding of the accuracy of antigen tests, which are less sensitive than laboratory tests but have become the standard testing approach due to their speed and convenience. Instead of detecting the coronavirus itself, they detect protein traces, known as antigens, similar to rapid flu tests.
Health officials have repeatedly cautioned that the tests can give false negatives if taken too early. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends people without symptoms wait five days after an exposure. That's because it generally takes several days before the antigens reach levels detectable via testing with a nose swab.
All 22 home antigen tests on the U.S. market were authorized for emergency use based on preliminary data, while companies and researchers gathered more definitive metrics on their accuracy.
U.S. & World
The FDA said its latest decision reflects new information on the accuracy of antigen tests. In a government study, adding a third test improved accuracy from 62% to 79%. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/fda-take-3-home-tests-not-2-if-exposed-to-covid-to-boost-accuracy/3821793/ | 2022-08-12T07:27:04Z | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/national-international/fda-take-3-home-tests-not-2-if-exposed-to-covid-to-boost-accuracy/3821793/ | true |

However this situation GREENSBORO — Calling all science- and technology-loving middle school girls!
Greensboro Parks and Recreation wants you for its new Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) program.
In addition to its other STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) programs, the department is launching a yearlong program offering girls in sixth through eighth grades a deep dive into real-world applications of science and technology.
Families have until Aug. 31 to apply. Download the application at tinyurl.com/WISE22. The program begins Sept. 21.
“This is perfect for a kid who is interested in a future career in the sciences or any kind of engineering, something that requires invention and creativity in making the world a better place,” said Shelli Scott, youth programmer for Parks and Recreation.

Scott created the program based on one she remembered from her childhood, which was aimed at encouraging more women to go into STEM fields.
Despite increased numbers of women working in those careers, in 2019 the U.S. Census found that 73% of all STEM workers were men. The disparity was even more severe in certain fields, like computing, where women account for about a quarter of all workers, and engineering, where they represent 15%.
“We really wanted to create a program that would foster a sense of purpose where girls feel like they are not the minority,” Scott said.
In WISE, the small group of girls will meet twice a month to work on projects that range from creating robots that move underwater to building your own mobile app to designing a catapult. Participants will take field trips to test their inventions in the real world.
“This is super hands-on. They will be building all the projects,” Scott said.
Every other meeting will be a virtual check-in. Girls will collaborate with their peers to work on their projects, and will also work independently in between sessions.
They will also get to meet women who work in STEM fields to get a better understanding of potential career paths for people who have STEM skills.
Participants don’t need to have a particular career path in mind to join WISE.
“This is a program that is really good for exploring potential and exploring ideas of what you might want to do,” Scott said. “The skills that you learn in this will help inspire girls to try other things.”
The program is open to girls in public, private or home schools. The cost is $60, to be paid after the child is accepted. Financial assistance is available.

Report: Informant Tipped Off FBI on Where Trump Documents Were at Mar-a-Lago Before Raid
Two anonymous senior government sources have revealed that the FBI raid on former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence on Monday was based on a tip from a confidential informant who informed Federal Agents where to find government documents alleged to be in Trump’s possession, according to a news report.
The Biden administration officials, described as having first-hand knowledge of the FBI’s decision-making process, said the raid was intentionally performed while the former president was away from Mar-a-Lago, according to Newsweek.
According to Newsweek, the FBI’s top brass in Washington and the regional field office in Miami, Florida, “were focused on the former president’s scheduled return to Florida from his residences in New York and New Jersey.”
“They were seeking to avoid any media circus,” said an unnamed senior intelligence official, according to Newsweek. “So even though everything made sense bureaucratically and the FBI feared that the documents might be destroyed, they also created the very firestorm they sought to avoid, in ignoring the fallout.”
Trump is widely known to summer at his Bedminster, New Jersey, property. A New York Times report from 2017 noted that the Trump National Club in the Garden State was sometimes referred to as the “Summer White House.”
According to the Newsweek report, the FBI in Miami and Washington made the decision to time the raid in Trump’s absence to prevent Trump from using the actions as a photo-op or attempting to interfere with their search.
The bureau’s plans to conduct an operation under the radar failed however and instead provoked a massive response from Republican lawmakers and Trump voters alike.
“What a spectacular backfire,” one Justice official reportedly told Newsweek.
“I know that there is much speculation out there that this is political persecution, but it is really the best and the worst of the bureaucracy in action,” the official said.
“They wanted to punctuate the fact that this was a routine law enforcement action, stripped of any political overtones, and yet [they] got exactly the opposite.”
On Monday at about 9 a.m. Eastern time, armed with a signed, sealed warrant from Judge Bruce Reinhard of the U.S. District Court’s Southern Florida District, approximately two dozen federal agents and technicians arrived at the Mar-a-Lago club and entered the former president’s private residence on the grounds.
Christina Bobb, a Trump attorney told Real America’s Voice that the FBI agents on site did not allow her to observe the search.
President Donald Trump’s attorney @Christina_Bobb tells @SteveGruberShow: The FBI claimed to be looking for Presidential records and classified information. The irony is that President Trump was free unclassify documents at his leisure while in office. pic.twitter.com/G1G0rsexog
— Real America’s Voice (RAV) (@RealAmVoice) August 10, 2022
Bobb told host Steve Gruber that she arrived at about 10 a.m. and that FBI agents didn’t leave the property until “about 6:30- 7 o’clock at night, so it was maybe a 10-hour day for them.”
When asked about the FBI’s refusal to allow her to observe she explained, “Well, I was told that under Florida law, or you know, whatever law they were following, that I do not have the right to watch their investigation. So I had to stand aside.”
“And I mean, I could see them coming and going and, you know, kind of figure out what they were doing and what areas they were searching. And every once in a while I would try to get an update. But as far as like actually watching where they were searching and looking into, you know, the storage facility and all of that, I was not allowed to watch that.”
Gruber asked Bobb if she had been allowed to see the search warrant. Bobb said that after she arrived at the scene and announced herself as legal representation for President Trump and asked to see the warrant, she was at first refused by the FBI.
She told Gruber, “initially they refused and said you know, ‘we don’t have to show it to you,’ and there was a little bit of an exchange about whether it was appropriate to withhold the warrant when you’re searching the residence of a former president who’s likely to be a nominee in the next election.”
Bobb described the warrant as “very, I would say, thin” and said the supporting documentation of “probable cause” was sealed by the court.
“We don’t know what the probable cause is, why they were allowed to search, but they did,” she said.
She said she was told the agents were searching for material that should not have been on the property under the Presidential Records Act as well as “classified information that they think should not have been removed from the White House.”
“I don’t believe there was any down there,” she said, referring to classified material. “We had done a search of it before and didn’t find anything noteworthy.
“Yet, I’m sure that they’re claiming that there was something, you know, terribly egregious, that’s a grave matter of national security,” she said, with obvious sarcasm. “But we’ll find out.”

ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Allentown School District approved the appointment of two key administrators Thursday night during a special board meeting.
Cheryl Clark was named the next principal of William Allen High School effective Tuesday, Aug. 16, and Michael Q. Roth was hired as the district's chief academic officer. The two new administrators will be paid annual salaries of $137,000 and $160,000, respectively.
Cheryl Clark, William Allen High School principal
A statement from ASD said Clark will become the first African American woman to serve as the school's principal.
"This represents a critical leadership transition, as we are getting the pieces in place to start the school year in a very strong position," Superintendent John D. Stanford said of the appointment. "We look forward to seeing the impact Ms. Clark will have as she brings stability to the school community of William Allen High School."
The district says Clark has served as president of Clark Connections, through which she taught as an adjunct professor at both Essex County College and the Regional Teaching Center in Randolph, New Jersey. Previously, she was interim principal of Somerset Intermediate School in North Plainfield, New Jersey, as well as principal of Franklin High School in Somerset, New Jersey. She also has experience as a middle school and elementary school principal.
Clark began her career in education as a whole-school reform teacher and facilitator. She holds a masters degree in education administration and supervision and a bachelor's degree in education, both from St. Peter's College, the district notes.
Clark will hold a meet-and-greet event on Tuesday, Aug. 16 at 5 p.m. at William Allen High School. The district encourages families to attend to meet the new principal. The high school will also host an orientation for ninth grade students on Aug. 24 at 6 p.m.
Michael Q. Roth, chief academic officer
The district's new chief academic officer has been serving in a consultant capacity with ASD's grants department since February.
Roth began his teaching experience with the Nazareth Area School District, and he was eventually named assistant superintendent for the district. He has also served as the assistant superintendent in the Southern Lehigh School District, as well as superintendent of the Salisbury Township and Upper Moreland school districts, according to a statement from ASD.
Roth also has worked in the private sector, as the director of professional development for Discovery Education, the vice president of professional services for Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and an analyst and consultant for diversity and inclusion strategist Derrick Gay.
"We are very excited to bring Dr. Roth to the Allentown School District in a full-time capacity, as he brings a wealth of leadership and academic experience to our district," Stanford said in a statement. "ASD continues to make significant investments to build capacity at the leadership level and better support our staff, students, and families."
In his new role, Roth will be responsible for implementing the district's educational policies, programs, services, and practices to address students' academic achievement.
Dr. Roth holds a doctorate in education and organizational leadership from the University of Pennsylvania and a master's degree in educational leadership from Wilkes University. He also holds several certifications and undergraduate degrees from both Lehigh University and Moravian University. | https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/asd-hires-new-william-allen-hs-principal-chief-academic-officer/article_cb8d052c-19fe-11ed-85b9-136add18be6b.html | 2022-08-12T07:38:56Z | https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/asd-hires-new-william-allen-hs-principal-chief-academic-officer/article_cb8d052c-19fe-11ed-85b9-136add18be6b.html | false |
Eneos books strong Q1 results, CEO abruptly resigns
TOKYO, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Japanese oil and metals giant Eneos Holdings Inc announced on Friday that CEO Osamu Sugimori had resigned, as the company reported strong quarterly earnings on higher oil and natural gas prices.
A company spokesperson said Sugimori had resigned for personal reasons but declined to give further details. She said Sugimori was also stepping down as the president of the Petroleum Association of Japan (PAJ).
Japan's biggest oil refiner said net profit more than doubled to 221.4 billion yen ($1.7 billion) for the April-June first quarter from 97.6 billion yen a year earlier as stronger oil prices caused a hefty appraisal gain on its inventories, higher refining margins and healthy profits in its energy upstream assets.
Though its net profit exceeded its annual forecast of 170 billion yen, Eneos stuck to its May forecast, claiming uncertainty over prices of energy and metals going forward.
"We didn't revise our full-year estimate as there is uncertainty over prices of oil and copper, which have been weakening recently," Soichiro Tanaka, senior vice president, told a news conference.
"For now, we expect only limited impact on fuel demand from a slowdown of economy," he added.
Eneos is also a major miner and smelter of copper, with copper output from its Caserones mine in Chile rising to 34,000 tonnes in the first quarter from 27,000 tonnes a year earlier.

Arsenal's Gabriel Magalhaes has revealed how he convinced compatriot Gabriel Jesus to join the Gunners this season. The Brazilian central defender is helping a fellow countryman to adjust and settle in the new environment of Emirates Stadium.
A proven Premier League performer impressed in pre-season on the back of a £45 million ($55m) transfer from Manchester City and has plenty of familiar faces around him in north London.
How did Gabriel Magalhaes influence Gabriel Jesus transfer?
The Brazilian suggested that after the 2021-22 season ended, both of the Gabriels were in Brazil's national team camp on international duty and that is when Magalhaes spoke to Jesus about his future.
He told Sky Sports: "Gabriel is a really good guy. Of course, it helps that we have the Brazilian link. When we were on international duty, we discussed his future and I was telling him, 'Come to Arsenal! Come to Arsenal! Maybe I had a bit of an influence there."
The defender continued, "He is someone who is very focused and really enjoys working hard. He is here to improve the team and he is already doing that. He has come here with big expectations. He wants to achieve big things with Arsenal. I think he is really going to help us."

International Youth Day 2022: Why avail the right health insurance plan early on in life
Health insurance is no longer an option but a necessity today. Thus, the need to avail the right health insurance at a young age cannot be negated. This is because an adequate health insurance cover gives lifetime access to high-quality healthcare, gives you much-needed peace of mind and keeps you and your family clear of the financial burden of life.
We can never be sure of what our future beholds. Insurance acts to shield us against events and uncertainties that are mostly unforeseen. Health insurance is one such essential component inherent to our health and financial well-being in future. The fact that medical emergencies can strike at any time without prior warning makes it imperative to have a health insurance policy in place. Be it an accident or a sudden illness, having a health insurance cover will ensure that you are financially equipped to pay off the bills on hospitalisation and subsequent treatment.
If you are still wondering why you must buy health insurance, this International Youth Day, let’s understand why it’s important to buy a comprehensive health insurance plan early on in life.
Why buy health insurance at a young age?
Early enrollment in health insurance plans offers many advantages. The older one gets, the pricier the health insurance policies become. The reason for this is easy to comprehend. One is more likely to remain at the peak of health when you are young. Hence, the right time to purchase a health insurance policy is when you are at the peak of your health, and your internal and external body parts are in good shape. You have to pay less amount as a premium when you are young and healthy as the possibility of incurring a claim is less.
Here are a few more advantages that one can avail of when opting for a health insurance plan at a young age.
Low premium: Health insurance premiums are surprisingly affordable if bought early in life. This is because health insurers charge low from young customers citing their low risk and likelihood to fall ill. Premium charges are more for old people or those who have had a long history of critical illnesses, thus, explaining why it is important to allocate a part of our earnings to buying health insurance early in life to benefit from high cover at low premium charges.
Waiting period: The waiting period of a health insurance policy signifies the number of days before which the policy benefits come into effect. This means that before the waiting period ends, you cannot make claims or avail the benefits of a health insurance plan. Some plans have a 15 day initial waiting period, some have up to 30 days. Also, the pre-existing waiting period ranges from 1 year to 4 years. Since, a younger person is typically free of any severe medical conditions, they can easily get through the waiting period. On the other hand, as people age, they have an increased chance of developing health problems. As a result, if a person purchases health insurance at an older age, they might need to make a claim before the waiting period is over and subsequently, have their claim denied.
Tax benefit: Though you must not buy health insurance simply to earn tax deductions, the premiums paid on health insurance plans are indeed subject to tax deductions under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act, 1961. What's more, you can also claim deductions on the health insurance premiums paid to cover your parents, spouse and children. Although the same benefit is available when one opts for the health insurance policy in their later years, purchasing health insurance early results in superior net tax savings over the course of one's career.
Lifestyle changes: High adherence to a disciplined lifestyle is now passe. This has led to increasing number of health complications. What's more concerning is that these health illnesses are not limited to minor problems including fever, cough and cold but often have worsened into critical disorders that have now become pervasive across every age group. Securing health with a comprehensive health insurance plan ensures both health and financial security in the long run.
High inflation: If you think that inflation has resulted in the price rise of certain essential and luxury items only, it's time to pay attention. This is because price increase has led to treatment expenses getting inflated too. In the face of inflation, you must have something that you can hold on to for paying your medical expenses. This explains why you must buy a health insurance plan while there is still time. Financial coverage: Irrespective of how sound your financial plan, getting treated for a major disease or disorder can cause a major dent in your savings. A complete healthcare insurance plan with adequate coverage can cover the expenses both inside and outside of the hospital. Such as doctor’s consultation fees, prescribed diagnostic tests, pharmacy, hospitalisation, ambulance, and post-hospitalisation too without suspecting you to the pressure of spending your hard-earned money
To sum up, health insurance is no longer an option but a necessity today. Thus, the need to avail the right health insurance at a young age cannot be negated. This is because an adequate health insurance cover gives lifetime access to high-quality healthcare, gives you much-needed peace of mind and keeps you and your family clear of the financial burden of life. The benefits of buying health insurance are many and myriad, which you may make use of depending on your need.

Public asked to help save Hereford Town Hall
- Published
Members of the public are being asked to come forward to help save a town hall.
A councillor believes passing ownership of the grade II* listed Hereford Town Hall to a board of trustees could help secure the future of the building, which dates back to 1904.
The St Owen's Street site is owned by Herefordshire Council, but leased long-term to Hereford City Council.
The unitary authority is set to produce a report on options for the building.
Jeremy Milln, who sits on both councils, said there would be more support for the building to have a charitable rather than commercial owner, "though we would still want it to wash its face," he said.
"We are looking for people with the relevant skills - building surveying, law, accountancy - to come forward to form a steering group." he told the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
Given the required work on the building, including a new heating system, he said it would also "need a lot of fundraising".

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Virginia man has been sentenced to nearly 12 years in prison on federal bank robbery charges in a case that tested the constitutionality of broad search warrants that use Google location history to identify people who were near the scene of a crime.
The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports that Okello Chatrie, 27, was sentenced Wednesday in the 2019 robbery of the Call Federal Credit Union in Midlothian.
Chatrie’s lawyers had argued the use of a “geofence warrant” to identify people who were near the scene of the robbery violated their constitutional protection against unreasonable searches. Federal prosecutors argued Chatrie had no reasonable expectation of privacy since he voluntarily opted in to Google’s Location History.
U.S. District Judge Hannah Lauck ruled in March that the warrant violated the Constitution by gathering the location history of 19 cell phones — including Chatrie’s — near the bank at the time of the robbery without having any evidence that their owners had anything to do with the crime. Geofence warrants seek location data on every person within a specific location over a certain period of time.
But Lauck denied Chatrie’s motion to suppress the evidence produced by the warrant, finding the detective had acted in good faith by consulting with prosecutors before applying for the warrant and relied on his past experience in obtaining three similar warrants.
Privacy advocates said Lauck’s ruling that the warrant violated the constitutional protection against unreasonable searches could make it more difficult for police to continue using a popular investigative technique that has helped lead them to suspects in a list of crimes around the country.
On Wednesday, Lauck denied a defense request for a lower sentence for Chatrie, saying there were “too many victims” in the robbery. Prosecutors have said Chatrie demanded cash in a handwritten note, waved a gun, threatened to kill a bank teller’s family and ordered employees and a customer onto the floor.
The sentence Lauck imposed — 141 months — was at the low end of discretionary federal sentencing guidelines, which called for a term of between 141 and 155 months. | https://www.wspa.com/news/ap-top-headlines/man-gets-12-years-in-case-that-tested-broad-search-warrants/ | 2022-08-12T08:13:42Z | https://www.wspa.com/news/ap-top-headlines/man-gets-12-years-in-case-that-tested-broad-search-warrants/ | false |
A new app on the block — or in this case, island, is helping cafes and their customers become a greater sustainable community.
Key points:
- Kangaroo Islanders shares café cups and containers to minimise waste
- App allows cafe customers to take away cups and containers and drop them back later
- Initiative will arrive in Adelaide by end of year
A pilot program that allows customers to walk away with reusable cups and containers and then drop them back at a later date has been running for the past three months in Kingscote on Kangaroo Island.
Resuably app founder Mary Kelly said customers signed up to access the app like a subscription.
"Think of cafes as almost their own libraries, but they're all connected to each other, so you only need the one card — which lives on your phone in our app," she said.
She said customers had a few weeks to bring the items back so they could be cleaned for someone else to use.
"It's shifting away from this system of ownership to a system of a shared economy," she said.
Ms Kelly said she was inspired by a call to ban reusable cups due to hygiene issues and occupational health and safe violations.
She said she knew that would be a step backwards for sustainability.
She said the cups and containers were sourced from a Melbourne-based company and were made from 75 per cent recycled stainless steel, which meant they could also be recycled.
Kangaroo Island's isolation made it the ideal place for the trial.
"It doesn't really work if you've got cafes scattered but we have this community that is isolated, which means the cups and bowls can go around within their ecosystem and we can really meaningfully measure that impact for that community' Ms Kelly said.
The app has a live tracker which helps identify where the cups are going.
It also measures redistribution and gives information about waste diversion and the project's environmental impact.
"Kangaroo Island still ships landfill to the mainland, which is a really expensive process," Ms Kelly said.
Cafes get on board
Cactus Kangaroo Island cafe co-owner Yen Aun Leow said the app aligned with his business's values.
"Cactus incentivises people to bring cups with them and they get a slight discount, just to reduce take away cups being put into landfill," Mr Aun Leow said.
"[We're] encouraging people to look at takeaway cups a different way."
Ms Kelly said the app had become bigger than she could have anticipated.
"It's more than just a hygienic swap system, it's convenient, it helps collect data around impact and circular economy," she said.
Ms Kelly said her team was looking at how they could expand on the island.
"We've got a few things in the works at the moment ... but we will be on the mainland by the end of the year— in a couple of locations in Adelaide," Ms Kelly said. | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-12/resusably-app-cafe-reuse-coffee-cups-takeaway-containers/101318202 | 2022-08-12T08:17:25Z | https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-08-12/resusably-app-cafe-reuse-coffee-cups-takeaway-containers/101318202 | true |
Fikayo Tomori 'is set to sign a bumper new five-year contract at AC Milan' after continuing to impress since leaving Chelsea... with Serie A giants keen to tie England defender down 'due to fear of interest from Premier League clubs'
- Fiyako Tomori is reportedly set to sign a new five-year contract at AC Milan
- The deal would see the 24-year-old's wages increase significantly in Italy
- Tomori is keen to lock down a place in England's World Cup squad for Qatar
- The defender has gained interest from the Premier League in recent times
AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori is set to sign a new long-term contract in Italy, according to a report.
The 24-year-old, who has three caps for England, has reportedly agreed a new five-year deal at the San Siro to ward off interest from the Premier League.
Tomori has been in impressive form since joining Milan from Chelsea in 2021, and, according to The Times, will now be rewarded with a stellar new contract at the club.
AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori is set to sign a new five-year contract at the Italian side
The 24-year-old has made three appearances for Gareth Southgate's England team
Tomori signed for Milan in January 2021, initially on loan, before making the deal permanent that summer.
The £24million fee seems a bargain, with the central defender putting in a number of stellar displays at the back for the Italian champions during his 18 months at the club.
Tomori started England's Nations League draw with Italy earlier in the summer and has his eyes set on a World Cup spot when the tournament takes place in Qatar later this year.
England have struggled for options in central defence, so the opportunity is there for Tomori to stake his claim.
Tomori was previously at Chelsea, but left after struggling for game time at Stamford Bridge
The defender struggled for minutes at Chelsea under former manager Frank Lampard and joined Milan in search of first-team football.
The move paid off, and he is now one of Europe's hottest prospects and has reportedly gained significant interest from several clubs in England.
The deal is set to see a significant increase in Tomori's wages, with Milan keen to keep their star man after losing Franck Kessie to Barcelona this summer.
The Italian side are also reportedly interested in Chelsea forward Hakeem Ziyech, but are unable to match the Moroccan's wage demands. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11105235/Fikayo-Tomori-set-sign-bumper-new-five-year-contract-AC-Milan-amid-World-Cup-hopes.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-12T08:25:19Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11105235/Fikayo-Tomori-set-sign-bumper-new-five-year-contract-AC-Milan-amid-World-Cup-hopes.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
XUZHOU, China, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Themed with "Time Travelers," the seventh season of XCMG's (SHE:000425) immersive experience and innovative education program, XCMG Apprentice, was held in five countries for the first time. Young talents from China (Team Globe), Germany (Team Europe), Brazil (Team America), Thailand (Team Southeast Asia), and India (Team South Asia) joined the program to learn about XCMG as well as its people, products, technologies, industries and value chains in the two-weeks tour.
"XCMG hopes to join hands with more young people from around the world to explore engineering science and technology, and contribute to the global constructions and sustainable development," remarked Wang Min, chairman and CEO of XCMG.
The five teams presented reports about XCMG's strengths in R&D, construction, operation, marketing and intelligent manufacturing, unfolding XCMG's global roadmap and strategies to an international audience. The apprentices completed a comprehensive journey across XCMG's business sectors as well as XCMG Research Institute.
XCMG engineers set up a series of events and challenges for the five teams, including a session about XCMG Europe R&D Center's intelligent control systems, and the apprentices completed three challenging tasks: intelligent safety system identification that to operate two excavators to experience the difference between having the intelligent safety system, an intelligent ground system that controls and operates the system to complete tasks in a fixed area, and error-free handling of the intelligent loading and shovel system, which is set to complete soil load and unload of the fixed weights of 50kg and 100kg with the intelligent system.
At XCMG's soil mechanics laboratory in China, Priyasha Sharma, an apprentice from India, operated the JY20G2 multi-functional rescue vehicle and completed her challenge successfully under the guidance of XCMG technicians.
"The joystick is very well-designed with high operation precision, the cabin is very comfortable and overall design is ergonomic and human-centric," she said.
Team Europe's theme of the program was "R&D capabilities," and apprentices operated the 22-ton XCMG XE220E excavator equipped with the latest intelligent assistive technology, which greatly improved working efficiency and the apprentices were able to complete basis tasks like leveling and grading with just minutes of training.
Through the XCMG Apprentice program, the group is able to demonstrate the different sides of the industry pillars and anchor the future development of the construction machinery industry in unique and innovative ways.
As of now, XCMG has provided excellent products and services in 191 countries and regions, integrating export trade, overseas factories, cross-border mergers and acquisitions as well as global R&D. XCMG now has five R&D bases, 15 overseas manufacturing bases and KD factories as well as over 2,000 service points and 40 large-scale spare parts centers overseas.

Brazilians march in defence of democracy over Bolsonaro election fears
- Published
Thousands of Brazilians have taken to the streets amid concern President Jair Bolsonaro will try to stay in power even if he loses October's election.
Protesters marched in several cities on Thursday in defence of democracy over fears the far-right leader would not respect the outcome of the vote.
Mr Bolsonaro has repeatedly sought to discredit Brazil's voting system.
He has claimed that electronic voting machines enable cheating, because of the absence of a paper trail.
A year ago, Mr Bolsonaro tried to change the system to introduce printed ballot papers, but the proposal was defeated in Congress.
Critics of the president have voiced fears that he is preparing to follow the example of former US President Donald Trump and allege widespread fraud if he loses the election.
The demonstrations came on the same day that a citizens' manifesto was read out and signed by a million Brazilians.
The manifesto, inspired by a declaration from 1977 denouncing Brazil's dictatorship at the time, warned that the country's democracy was facing great danger.
Crowds protested in Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia and Recife, while thousands gathered outside the University of São Paulo, where a petition "in defence of the democratic state of law" was read out.
People held up banners denouncing Mr Bolsonaro and proclaiming "respect the vote, respect the people", while some were dressed as electronic voting machines, in a reference to the president's cheating claims.
The president, in office since 2019 and flagging in opinion polls, denounced the petition, tweeting that the constitution was the only letter that mattered in guaranteeing democracy.
Several of his election rivals have signed the petition, including leftist ex-president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, who tweeted: "Our country used to be sovereign and respected. We need to get it back." | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-62516251?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | 2022-08-12T08:54:53Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-62516251?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=KARANGA | true |

Inflation a growing concern for Germans, poll shows
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
BERLIN, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Forty percent of Germans - more than ever before - expect to be worse off in a year's time, an opinion poll published on Friday showed, highlighting households' concerns about high inflation in Europe's largest economy.
The poll for broadcaster ZDF by Forschungsgruppe Wahlen, which surveyed 1,389 Germans of voting age from Aug. 9-11, also showed 49% expected their personal financial situation to be unchanged in a year's time, with 10% expecting to be better off.
Just 55% of those surveyed believed their financial situation was good, down from 65% at the start of the year.
German inflation is running at 8.5%, driven up by an energy supply crisis as reductions in gas flows from Russia prompt concerns about even higher energy bills. read more
Chancellor Olaf Scholz promised a new package of measures on Thursday, including tax relief, to help people struggling with rising prices and higher energy bills. read more

BANGKOK (AP) — Shares were mixed Friday in Asia after a muddled day on Wall Street, where benchmarks meandered following another encouraging report about inflation.
Tokyo’s Nikkei 225 surged 2.5%, catching up on gains after being closed Thursday for a holiday. Hong Kong and Seoul also advanced, while Shanghai and Sydney declined. U.S. futures edged higher and oil prices fell.
Markets got a boost Thursday after a report showed inflation at the wholesale level slowed more than economists expected last month. That came a day after a cooler-than-expected reading on inflation at the consumer level which raised hopes among investors that inflation may be close to a peak and that the Federal Reserve will be less aggressive about raising interest rates than feared.
Inflation is still painfully high and the economy has given false signals before that relief was on the way only for investors to have the rug pulled out from underneath them. Some Fed officials also made comments after Wednesday’s inflation report suggesting their battle against rising prices is far from over.
“Stocks were unable to hold onto robust gains following back-to-back reports that suggest inflation has peaked. After a little pushback from the Fed, Wall Street is starting to second guess how soon the Fed will be in a position to pivot” to slowing rate hikes, Edward Moya of OANDA said in a commentary.
In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 added 683 points to 28,503.25 in morning trading. Seoul’s Kospi edged 0.2% higher and the Hang Seng in Hong Kong picked up 0.3% to 20,146.93.
Sydney’s S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.8% to 7,013.00 while the Shanghai Composite index slipped 0.2% to 3,276.53. Shares fell in India but rose in Taiwan.
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 closed 0.1% lower at 4,207.27 Thursday but it’s still on pace for a fourth consecutive weekly gain. The Nasdaq gave up 0.6% to 12,779.91, and the Dow rose 0.1% to 33,336.67. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 0.3%, to 1,975.26. The three indexes are also on pace for a weekly gain.
Enough hope for a peak in inflation and Fed aggressiveness has built that the S&P 500 has roughly halved its losses from earlier in the year. It’s up more than 14% from its bottom in mid-June.
Technology stocks and other investments beaten down the most earlier in the year by the Fed’s aggressive rate hikes have been among the strongest, and the Nasdaq has climbed more than 20% from its low in June.
Technology and health care stocks were among the biggest weights on the S&P 500, keeping gains by energy companies, banks and other sectors in check.
The Walt Disney Co. jumped 4.7% after the entertainment company reported stronger profit for its latest quarter than analysts expected.
Worries about a possible recession still loom over the market, as the Federal Reserve continues to raise interest rates to fight inflation.
A report on Thursday showed fewer U.S. workers filed for jobless claims last week than expected, a potentially encouraging sign about layoffs. But it was nevertheless the highest number since November.
Traders are now betting on the Fed to raise overnight interest rates by half a percentage point at its meeting next month, down from Fed’s last two increases of 0.75 percentage points. Even if the Fed can manage to slow the economy enough to stamp out inflation without causing a recession, higher interest rates pull downward on prices for all kinds of investments regardless.
Treasury yields mostly rose Thursday, with the 10-year yield rising to 2.89% from 2.79% late Wednesday, a big move.
It’s still below the two-year yield, which sits at 3.21%. That’s a relatively unusual occurrence that some investors see as a fairly reliable signal of a pending recession, though the gap between the two has narrowed somewhat.
In other trading Friday, U.S. benchmark crude oil shed 46 cents to $93.88 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It jumped $2.41 to $94.34 per barrel on Thursday.
Brent crude oil, the basis for pricing for international trading, declined 43 cents to $99.17 per barrel.
The U.S. dollar rose to 133.14 Japanese yen from 133.03 yen. The euro fell to $1.0321 from $1.0322. | https://www.krqe.com/news/business/asian-shares-track-wall-street-gains-on-cooling-inflation/ | 2022-08-12T09:15:39Z | https://www.krqe.com/news/business/asian-shares-track-wall-street-gains-on-cooling-inflation/ | false |
DETROIT (AP) — A judge declared a mistrial Thursday after jurors said they couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict in a dispute over whether two engineering firms should bear some responsibility for Flint’s lead-contaminated water.
Veolia North America and Lockwood, Andrews & Newman, known as LAN, were accused of not doing enough to get Flint to treat the highly corrosive water or to urge a return to a regional water supplier.
The eight-person jury met for roughly seven days after hearing evidence for months. The jury first signaled on July 28 that it couldn’t reach a verdict before taking a planned 11-day break. The group returned to work Tuesday.
“Further deliberations will only result in stress and anxiety with no unanimous decision without someone having to surrender their honest convictions, solely for the purpose of returning a verdict,” the jury said in a new note Thursday.
U.S. Magistrate Judge David Grand declared a mistrial, rejecting a request by lawyers for four children to allow a verdict that’s less than unanimous.
“This is not a focus group,” Grand said.
The trial centered on the engineering firms and the effects of lead on the children, not all Flint residents. But the result was being closely watched because there are other cases pending against Veolia and LAN.
The firms were not part of a landmark $626 million deal involving property owners, thousands of residents of the majority-Black city, the state of Michigan and other parties.
“We don’t see this as a defeat,” Veolia attorney Dan Stein told The Associated Press. “The plaintiffs were the ones trying to prove their claims to the jury, and they were unable to do so.”
Corey Stern, an attorney for the children, said he was only one juror shy from winning the case. The lack of a verdict means a trial can be held again with a different jury.
“I’m fired up for the next one,” Stern said. “I wish the judge would schedule it for Monday. I hated leaving the courthouse. You’re an inch from the goal line after toting the ball for 99 yards.”
Flint’s water became contaminated in 2014-15 because water pulled from the Flint River wasn’t treated to reduce the corrosive effect on lead pipes. Citing cost, managers appointed by then-Gov. Rick Snyder stopped using water from a Detroit agency and switched to the river while awaiting a new pipeline to Lake Huron.
The Michigan Civil Rights Commission said the bad water was the result of systemic racism in the city, doubting that the water switch and the spurning of complaints would have occurred in a white, prosperous community.
During closing arguments, attorneys for the children argued that Veolia should be held 50% responsible for lead contamination and that LAN should be held 25% responsible, with public officials making up the balance.
But Veolia’s lawyers noted the firm was briefly hired in the middle of the crisis, not before the spigot was turned on. LAN said an engineer repeatedly recommended that Flint test the river water for weeks to determine what treatments would be necessary.
LAN attorney Wayne Mason said outside engineers were getting lumped in with a “platoon of bad actors,” namely state and local officials who controlled all major decisions about the water. The health effects on the four children were also challenged at trial.
Snyder was summoned as a witness but declined to answer questions, citing his right against self-incrimination.
He was indicted on misdemeanor charges in a separate Flint water investigation. The Michigan Supreme Court said the indictment was invalid, though state prosecutors are trying to reinstate the charges.
The jury instead watched a video of Snyder’s 2020 interview with lawyers.
“I wish this never would have happened,” he said of the water mess, acknowledging mistakes by government.

According to Football Insider, Sunderland have ‘agreed to sign’ the Morecambe youngster.
The report states that Pye has been attracting attention from clubs in the Premier League and Championship, but it’s the Black Cats who are seemingly in pole-position for his signature.
But just who is he, what could Pye bring to Sunderland and why has he been likened to Liverpool star Andrew Robertson?

Who is Connor Pye?
After coming through the ranks at Wigan Athletic, Pye currently plays for League One side Morecambe.
Although he has made just one senior appearance for the Shrimpers, he signed a professional contract with the club in January 2022 and hopes are high for the player who won their Under-17’s Player of the Season award during his debut campaign.
Pye was a favourite of former Morecambe boss Stephen Robinson who handed him his senior debut against Hartlepool United in a group stage Papa John’s Trophy clash last season.
However, Pye has yet to feature for the first-team since Derek Adams’ appointment in February.
He is a versatile player who can play at left-back or in midfield.
Is Pye available for transfer?
Despite Morecambe having high hopes for Pye, he has been made available for transfer this summer.
Derek Adams revealed in May that budget restraints were the reasons for his transfer-listing. Adams said: “The difficulty for Connor Pye is he’s not going to find himself in my first-team squad.
“He’s got two years to run on a contract but, budget-wise, the circumstances are difficult.”
Everton links
Even before his transfer-listing, there was plenty of transfer interest in Pye, with Everton one of the sides that have previously been credited with an interest in the 18-year-old.
A report in October last year suggested that Everton were ‘monitoring’ his progress and saw him as an ideal replacement for their academy star Thierry Small who had moved to Southampton.
Andrew Robertson comparisons
As mentioned, Pye made his senior bow in the EFL Trophy against Hartlepool United last October.
Pye played 74 minutes as Morecambe drew 2-2 with the side a division below them, before being defeated 4-2 on penalties at the Suit Direct Stadium.
Although he featured in midfield that day, his ‘rampaging and energetic’ display saw him likened to Liverpool’s Andrew Robertson.
What has Pye said about his future?
After signing his first professional deal with the club in January, Pye said: "I'm delighted, it's something I always dreamt of as a kid.”
"It's good to finally get it done and over with, and it's now time to crack on and work hard in training.
"The gaffer put a lot of trust in me and I'm really thankful for everything he's done for me, I'm just really proud of what I've achieved so far and long may it continue as well."
Then Shrimpers boss Stephen Robinson said: "He's a good kid who has worked hard ever since I arrived at the club and has done well to take the opportunities we've provided.
"It's a big step up from the Academy to a First Team environment and Connor is under no illusion that he has a lot of hard work ahead." | https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/connor-pye-who-is-sunderland-target-and-what-has-the-ex-everton-linked-defender-said-about-his-morecambe-future-3800600 | 2022-08-12T09:20:23Z | https://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/connor-pye-who-is-sunderland-target-and-what-has-the-ex-everton-linked-defender-said-about-his-morecambe-future-3800600 | true |
Shoppers are now being urged to vote with their feet and refuse to buy Mr Kipling's cakes after an outcry over the price of one of the famous brand's products. Sainbury's has found itself in hot water after a shopper discovered how much Mr Kipling's chocolate cakes now cost.
Posting on the Scrimping on a Budget Facebook page, Carol Bishop argued that the cost of the cakes, being sold in the supermarket for £3.75, had leapt in price. She said: "I'm sure some supermarkets are over pricing branded goods, so customers choose their own brands instead. These used to be £1.50."
The post was quickly flooded with comments, with many addressing the "appalling" price of the tea-time treat, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Others have urged people not to buy the popular product at the new price and instead leave them on the shelves. Sam Johnson said: "The way people should treat this is just don’t buy overpriced items, they will be forced to drop prices if we all stop spending money." Gwen Walford said: "Leave them on the shelves, stop buying them, they'll soon get the message. Make your own cakes & traybakes they're so much nicer, & get more portions from one tray bake."
Paul Berrisford wrote: "The world has gone crazy. Cannot remember the last time I brought a Kipling cake. If folk are daft enough to pay them prices they will carry on selling them. Like HP food now, don’t bye them anymore, silly prices."
Teresa McNeil said: "Exceedingly good cakes. Just don't buy them." Bonnie Nasser said: "Prices are getting beyond - how can they justify these prices? Ludicrous."
Sue House suggested: "Make your own cakes." Alison Wilkes added: "Just won’t be buying them. Still can’t get my head around all the price rises on everything. Greed springs to mind. I can do without cake."
A spokeswoman for Sainsbury's said: "While prices can go up and down for a range of reasons, we’re committed to offering our customers great choice and value whenever they shop with us.
"We have a range of Mr Kipling cakes available in our stores and many of them are on offer. Currently, Mr Kipling Mini Battenberg Cakes x5 are £1.15 and Mr Kipling Chocolate Cake Slices x8 are £2.”
A Mr Kipling spokesperson said: "The retail price of our products is at the discretion of the respective retailer." Sainsbury's is not the only supermarket to be selling the cakes at higher prices, as Morrisons are selling the same packet at £3.45, while Tesco is selling them at £2.85, or currently £2 with a Clubcard. Asda has them for £2 a pack without any promotion.

Andhra students dominate Telangana EAMCET but Hyderabad boy tops Engineering
80.41% clear Engineering stream and 88.34% clear agriculture stream
The results of the Telangana State Engineering, Agriculture and Medical Common Entrance Test (TS EAMCET) 2022 have been released with 80.41% of candidates clearing the test in the engineering stream and 88.34% candidates in the Agriculture and Medical stream.
Minister for Education, P. Sabitha Indra Reddy released the results and they are hosted on ‘https://eamcet.tsche.ac.in’ and a few other websites. She said out of the 1,56,860 who appeared 1,26,140 qualified in the engineering test while out of the 80,575 who appeared in the Agriculture and Medical stream 71,180 emerged successful.
City boy Polu Lakshmisai Lohit Reddy topped the engineering stream and interestingly seven out of the top 10 were from the neighbouring Andhra Pradesh state. Second rank went to Nakka Saidipthika (Srikakulam) followed by Polishetty Karthikeya (Tenali), Palli Jalajakshi (Srikakulam) and Menda Himavanshi (Srikakulam).
In the Agriculture and medical stream, Juturi Neha from Tenali bagged the first rank followed by Vantaku Rohit (Visakhapatnam), Kallam Tarunkumar Reddy (Guntur), Kothapalli Mahi Anjan (Kukatpally) and Guntupalli Sriram (Guntur).
This year’s rankings were based on the actual marks scored by the students in the entrance exam as the government has done away with the 25% Intermediate marks weightage to be given while calculating the final rank.
EAMCET-2022 Convenor, Prof. Goverdhan said that the normalization process was adopted to eliminate the variations in the difficulty levels of various sessions and ensured that no student gets advantage or disadvantage due to multiple sessions. The normalization process brings all the candidates across all sessions on a comparative scale. Due to this process, the marks of the easy session may be reduced marginally and marks of hard session may be increased marginally on the global scale, he said.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Western countries agreed Thursday to continue long-term funding to help Ukraine’s military keep fighting nearly 5½ months after Russia invaded its neighbor, saying 1.5 billion euros ($1.5 billion) has been pledged so far and more is coming.
The money is for enhancing armaments production, including artillery and ammunition; developing and strengthening the training of Ukrainian soldiers and assisting Ukraine’s efforts to demine areas.
“All the countries that came to Copenhagen came with the intention of supporting Ukraine,” Danish Defense Minister Morten Bødskov said at the end of the one-day meeting of 26 nations and the European Union.
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said the meeting proved that Russian President Vladimir “Putin’s ambition (of the West losing its willingness to support Ukraine) has failed.”
“We are still determined,” Wallace said.
The 1.5 billion euros included donations by the U.K., Denmark and Norway but “it will grow,” Bødskov said, adding “some of the countries need to go back home and get the support of their parliaments.”
Bødskov said that “money alone will not do the trick, as you say, we need increased productions.”
He thanksed Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic for signaling a “willingness to expand production of artillery systems, ammunitions and other equipment.”
At the conference, Norway said it would help train Ukrainian troops in Britain. Sweden and Finland earlier said they would do the same. Iceland will assist demining efforts in Ukraine “by training trainers,” its foreign minister said.
In a live feed, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on Western nations to provide more money, saying “the sooner we stop Russia, the sooner we can feel safe.”
“We need armaments, munitions for our defense,” he said.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov, who attended the conference, declined to give details on what weapons his country will get.
The conference, co-hosted by Denmark, Britain and Ukraine, followed an April meeting at a U.S. air base in Germany that established the U.S.-led Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which coordinates international military support for Ukraine.
Britain on Thursday announced that it will send more multiple launch rocket systems and guided missiles to Ukraine to help it resist Russia’s invasion. The new weapons, whose number wasn’t specified, come on top of several rocket-launch systems it gave Ukraine earlier this year. Ukrainian troops have been trained in Britain to use them.
“Our continued support sends a very clear message, Britain and the international community remain opposed to this illegal war and will stand shoulder-to-shoulder, providing defensive military aid to Ukraine to help them defend against Putin’s invasion,” Wallace, the defense chief, said.
Before the conference, Denmark said it would give Ukraine an extra 820 million kroner ($113 million), which would bring Denmark’s total contribution to more than 3 billion kroner ($413 million). Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called it “a huge donation.”
Part of the money will pay for 130 Danish troops to help train Ukrainian forces in Britain.
Norwegian Defense Minister Bjørn Arild Gram said there was still unwavering Western support for Ukraine.
“It is decisive for Ukraine to be able to defend itself against the Russian attack,” Arild Gram said.
The Kyiv School of Economics released a report Wednesday assessing the cost of war damage to Ukraine’s infrastructure at more than $110 billion. The report said 304 bridges and more than 900 health care facilities were either destroyed or damaged.

At first look, American companies seem to be doing just fine in the face of high inflation and rising interest rates. But look underneath the surface, and there are potential warning signs about the economy – and it's got the country's top executives feeling a little bit nervous.
So far, 453 of the top 500 companies comprising the S&P 500 have reported earnings and about 75% did better over the April to June quarter than Wall Street expected, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.
It's a remarkable show of strength given they had to navigate a challenging economic environment — a time when the country was dealing with its highest inflation in around 40 years and the Federal Reserve was hiking interest rates.
The stronger-than-expected earnings, along with hopes the Fed won't be as aggressive with rate hikes going forward, have helped fuel a powerful rally on Wall Street.
But top executives say they are facing lot of uncertainty at a time when there are growing fears of an economic recession. They're not panicking, but they are being careful.
Here are three signs that could point to potential trouble ahead for the U.S. economy.
Companies are cutting advertising
Historically, when companies are anxious about the future, they cut their ad budgets, making it a leading indicator about how companies view the economy.
That's what happened in the last quarter.
Social media companies have seen ad sales slow, and that dragged down their earnings. In the second quarter, Meta, Facebook's parent company, saw its revenue fall for the first time ever.
Meanwhile, Snap sounded an alarm about declining ad sales. The social media company's share price is down more than 75% this year.
Traditional media outlets have also seen reduced revenues from ads, including The New York Times Company and Gannett. BuzzFeed warned recession fears will put pressure on its ad business.
In a letter to investors, Roku, which makes streaming media players, said "there was a significant slowdown in TV advertising spend due to the macro-economic environment."
The company added that it expects "these challenges to continue in the near term as economic concerns pressure markets worldwide."
Companies are cutting costs – and jobs
As office workers know already, when companies start cutting costs or putting expansion plans on hold, it often means they see potential trouble ahead.
Bed Bath & Beyond, for example, said it would cut its capital spending by 25%.
Some companies are also slowing hiring, or even starting to announce job cuts, even if the latest economic data shows the overall labor market remains healthy.
The job cuts have been more prominent in the technology sector, with companies such as Netflix, stock trading app Robinhood and e-commerce giant Shopify announcing layoffs recently.
According to Layoffs.fyi, a site that tracks layoffs in the tech sector, tech companies have cut almost 70,000 jobs so far in 2022.
Automakers are also growing cautious.
GM CEO Mary Barra said recently the company is "reducing some discretionary spending and limiting hiring to critical needs and positions that support growth."
She also added GM has "modeled several downturn scenarios, and we are prepared to take more deliberate action when and if necessary."
Spending habits are starting to change
One of the positives of the economy has been that people have continued to spend even as inflation has been high.
But companies say they are seeing evidence of changes in what people are buying, and that's contributing to a glut of unsold inventory.
Last month, Walmart announced it was cutting its profit outlook for the whole year because high prices have changed spending habits.
Walmart said its customers are spending less money on "general merchandise" because food prices have gone up sharply. With more stuff on store shelves, the retailer has had to cut prices on inventory.
Walmart is set to report its second quarter earnings on Aug. 16.
On top of that, manufacturers — from car companies to smartphone manufacturers — continue to having trouble sourcing parts.
"Across the economy, supply chain issues have both limited the ability to meet demand in some areas and driven inventory well above normal levels in others," Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said recently.

LOS ANGELES — The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles is returning ancient sculptures and other works of art that were illegally exported from Italy, the museum announced Thursday.
The Getty will return a nearly life-size group of Greek terra-cotta sculptures known as "Orpheus and the Sirens," believed to date from the fourth century B.C., according to the museum.
The sculpture group was purchased by J. Paul Getty in 1976 shortly before his death and had been on display for decades.
However, the museum now believes they were illegally excavated and taken out of Italy, based on evidence uncovered by the Manhattan district attorney's office, the Getty said in a statement.
"It's just extremely rare and there's nothing similar in our collection, or closely similar in any collection," Getty Museum director Timothy Potts told the Los Angeles Times. "It does leave a hole in our gallery but with this evidence that came forth, there was no question that it needed to be sent back to Italy."
The fragile sculptures will be sent to Rome in September to join collections designated by the Italian Ministry of Culture, the Getty said.
The museum also is working with the Ministry of Culture to arrange the return of four other objects at a future date. Those include a "colossal marble head of a divinity" and a stone mold for casting pendants, both from the second century A.D., along with an Etruscan bronze incense burner from the fourth century B.C. and a 19th century painting by Camillo Miola entitled "Oracle at Delphi," the Getty said.

Which Nike volleyball shoes are best?
Volleyball players need to be agile and technically skilled enough to move around the court swiftly and effectively. However, you can have all the talent in the world, but it’s not going to do much for you if you’re not wearing the proper shoes.
Nike volleyball shoes are engineered to give players superior traction and stability. Though Nike only offers a handful of volleyball shoes, they are high quality and deliver elite performance. For example, the Nike Zoom HyperAce 2 Volleyball Shoes are an exceptional choice, thanks to their stylish design and responsive feel.
What to know before you buy Nike volleyball shoes
Size and fit
Many volleyball shoes have a narrow shape and build, so if you have wide feet, it’s best to look for a wide-fit option or consider a pair with a broader toe box. You should be fine wearing the same size volleyball shoes you usually do for regular running shoes. However, it’s not a bad idea to consider going a half size or even a full size up, especially if you purchase a pair and find them a bit too tight or lacking space in the toe box.
Ankle length
Volleyball shoes come in varying ankle lengths. Mid-cut and high-cut shoes are ideal for stockier, defensive-minded players looking for more stability and ankle support. Low-cut shoes don’t offer the same ankle support, but they’re more lightweight, making them perfect for quick, shifty players who want to prioritize speed and flexibility.
Are you looking for versatile athletic shoes?
Volleyball shoes aren’t as versatile as other athletic shoes. Unlike running shoes, it’s best to avoid wearing volleyball shoes anywhere other than an indoor court. Volleyball shoes are comfortable but designed strictly for playing, so they’re not optimized for all-day comfort. Also, the outsole can wear out quickly on hard outdoor surfaces.
What to look for in quality Nike volleyball shoes
Cushioning
The cushioning in the midsoles of quality volleyball shoes usually consists of ethyl-vinyl acetate foam. EVA foam is soft, giving players the comfort they need, and it helps make the forefoot more responsive, allowing for more efficient energy transfer. Shoes with sufficient cushioning provide more bounce back during strides, giving players an extra spring in their step.
Outsole
The outsole should be made of durable gum material and provide plenty of grip on various indoor surfaces. It should also be flat and non-marking in order to decrease the chance of ankle injury and minimize sliding.
Breathability
Unlike beach volleyball, your feet are confined to shoes that may overheat due to the excess body heat your feet emit, and they can become damp because of the sweat buildup. Shoes with a durable upper are necessary for stability and protection, but they should also have a mesh fabric on top to facilitate airflow. Breathable shoes help keep your feet dry and cool for extended periods, allowing you to focus on your performance.
How much you can expect to spend on Nike volleyball shoes
The best Nike volleyball shoes offer elite performance and cost $100-$120. However, if you’re a casual player, you can get a reliable pair for $80-$100.
Nike volleyball shoes FAQ
How do I know when it’s time to replace my volleyball shoes?
A. You’ll notice wear and tear around the ankle and upper. However, the most significant indicator is the tread on the outsole will be worn down, and they won’t provide the same traction they used to, so you may notice that you’re slipping or sliding more often.
Can I wear volleyball shoes to play indoor basketball?
A. Yes, volleyball shoes are versatile enough to be worn for indoor basketball because they’re designed with the same performance goals and mechanics in mind.

BERLIN (AP) — Former German leader Gerhard Schroeder is suing to restore the perks he enjoyed as ex-chancellor after he was stripped of them by parliament following criticism over his ties with Russia.
Schroeder, who was chancellor from 1998 to 2005, has long had a close relationship with Russian energy companies and President Vladimir Putin. Those links came under heightened scrutiny following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine nearly six months ago.
German news agency dpa quoted Schroeder’s lawyer, Michael Nagel, saying Friday that his client had filed a suit with Berlin’s administrative court to restore the necessary funding he previously received for his office and staff.
The Bundestag had changed the rules in May to link some privileges former chancellors receive to their actual duties. In their decision, lawmakers didn’t explicitly state Schroeder’s ties to Russia. But Nagel told dpa that the reasons for the change were obvious and wouldn’t withstand legal challenge.
Earlier this week, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s Social Democratic Party rejected a bid to expel Schroeder, who had refused to distance himself from Putin and recently met with the Russian leader on a visit to Moscow in late July. | https://www.wane.com/news/business/ap-business/german-ex-leader-schroeder-sues-to-restore-official-perks/ | 2022-08-12T09:27:02Z | https://www.wane.com/news/business/ap-business/german-ex-leader-schroeder-sues-to-restore-official-perks/ | false |

Grain ship to dock in Ukraine, leave for Africa
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Thrown between hope and despair, expectations were raised Friday that the first U.N. grain transport ship could soon be leaving Ukraine for Africa while more Russian shelling struck the east of the country.
Closing in on the half-year mark, the war has sent food prices sky-high and left poorer countries with ever less hope they would be getting supplies from the breadbasket of Europe. On Friday, European Council President Charles Michel announced though that the first World Food Program transport for Africa was poised to depart.
He said the ship would load in a Ukrainian port and depart for Ethiopia, saying “cooperation of all involved actors is key” to avoid food shortage and hunger around the world. Such a move would be a big step in the food crisis caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.
The ship, Brave Commander, would take more than 23,000 metric tons (27,500 short tons) of grain and export it to Ethiopia.
While Ukrainian and Western officials have repeatedly spoken of the crucial role of grain shipments from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports in staving off a global food crisis, many of the first dozen vessels to leave the ports were bound for destinations in Turkey and Western Europe. Some analysts attributed this to the need to free up scarce docking space, saying that ships which have been trapped in the ports the longest were likely prioritized.
If such news provided a rare glimmer of hope from the gloomiest of surroundings, it was offset by the incessant fighting in eastern Ukraine, where the war entered its 170th day. Specifically the Donbas town of Kramatorsk was hit by 11 rockets overnight. Seven people were killed and 14 others were wounded in the region, which remains cut off from gas, running water and electricity.
“Three quarters of the population of the region have already been evacuated, because incessant shelling by the Russian army doesn’t leave civilians any choice — it’s either to die from wounds, or from hunger and cold in winter,” Donetsk regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko told Ukrainian television.
The world also continued to worry about the threat of a nuclear disaster in eastern Ukraine where shelling has hit the area, which is home to Europe’s largest nuclear plant.
Shelling near the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia facility continued overnight. Russian forces fired more than 40 rockets at the city of Marhanets, which is across the Dnieper river from the power plant. Three people were wounded in the most recent shelling, including a 12-year-old boy. The neighboring city of Nikopol was shelled as well, said Valentyn Reznichenko, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
The U.N. nuclear chief warned late Thursday that “very alarming” military activity at the nuclear plant could lead to dangerous consequences.
International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Rafael Grossi urged Russia and Ukraine, who blame each other for the attacks at the plant, to immediately allow nuclear experts to assess damage and evaluate safety and security at the sprawling nuclear complex where the situation “has been deteriorating very rapidly.”
He pointed to shelling and several explosions at Zaporizhzhia last Friday that forced the shutdown of the electrical power transformer and two backup transformers, forcing the shutdown of one nuclear reactor.

For the better part of a year, Democratic divisions have been a dominant storyline.
Moderates and progressives couldn't come up with a deal on President Joe Biden's legislative agenda, West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin was the poster child for progressive anger and Biden was struggling with the base and suffering politically because of it.
But that picture has started to change. The House is expected to pass a significant piece of legislation Friday and send it to Biden to sign into law. The Senate, with the help of Manchin, passed it over the weekend. It marks a few weeks of legislative successes for Democrats, as the primary season starts to turn to general elections for these midterms.
What does this latest bill do?
It includes:
The legislation, while less than Biden originally proposed or progressives wanted, is a big win for the White House and the party.
"Teddy Roosevelt got his Square Deal, FDR got his New Deal, Truman got the Fair Deal. I'd call this Biden's good deal," said Joel Payne, a Democratic strategist and former leadership aide to the late Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid. "This is a good deal for President Biden and for Democrats. And it's something that they can talk about over the next few weeks."
The bill is 'something to run on'
One piece of legislation won't solve all of Democrats' (or Biden's) problems. They still face the headwinds of a president's first midterm, Biden's unpopularity, inflation that's at a four-decade high and gas prices, though they have come down of late, are still higher than most struggling to pay bills would like.
The bill is even named the Inflation Reduction Act. Though the legislation's effect on inflation may be negligible, according to the Congressional Budget Office, it's a clear sign that Democrats see the threat of what Americans are saying is their top concern.
But Democratic strategists say it's a start.
"It gives you something to run on," said Jon Kott, a former senior adviser to Manchin.
He noted that Democrats' inability to pass legislation at the end of last year made it harder for the party to mount a strong message in the campaign for Virginia governor, for example.
"You want to run on your record when you're in office," Kott said, "and you want to go there and say, 'I did this. I helped you get this. I made your life better through this piece of legislation.' "
It also adds to the momentum Democrats have been building for the last few months, said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute for Public Opinion, which conducts polling for NPR.
"If you start connecting all the dots," he said, "everything is going the Democrats' way at this point, given that not too long ago, nothing was going their way."
In addition to passing the most recent legislation, Miringoff pointed to the Jan. 6 committee hearings that have dented former President Donald Trump with his base and that there's been a marked jump in Democratic enthusiasm after the Supreme Court's conservative majority overturned Roe v. Wade.
The midterm landscape has changed
The intensity around the issue of abortion led to the major victory for abortion-rights supporters on a ballot measure in Kansas last week. It is raising eyebrows for Republicans and is giving Democrats hope that they can stem what could have been a red wave in the House – and potentially hold the Senate.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, the group tasked with trying to help Democratic candidates win House seats, says its data show the Supreme Court's opinion overturning Roe and tying it to Republicans has proven to be the "top testing negative" attack in competitive districts.
The DCCC has also launched multimillion-dollar ad campaigns to try and mobilize voters around the issue.
Strategists still expect Republicans to win control of the House, given gerrymandering, historic precedent and the narrow five-seat majority Democrats are clinging to. But keeping the margins down is hugely important for any party to live to fight another cycle.
What's more, Democratic candidates are outpacing Biden's approval rating in the generic congressional ballot test, a question that asks if voters could cast a ballot today, would they vote for a generic Republican or Democrat.
The more favorable landscape to Democrats – and some hard-right Republicans running in a handful of key states – may wind up having the most notable effect in Senate races. Democratic candidates are holding up well in states that are expected to be close, according to public and private surveys, as well as reporting with campaigns.
"Democrats seem to be in far better shape than they ever could have imagined possible," Miringoff said. "It doesn't mean they're going to rack up big victories, but if they hold where they are right now and win a seat or two in the Senate, they would have easily bargained for that six months ago."
To get over the finish line, Democrats need their base to be fully on board
But to get over the finish line, Democrats need their base to be fully on board. Many progressives had been deeply disappointed with Biden for not fighting more boldly and not delivering on campaign promises, like major climate initiatives and student loans.
Whether the left interprets this latest piece of legislation as a major victory and goes to the polls could be the difference between Democrats mitigating damage in the House and holding the Senate – or not.
"You have to take yes for an answer sometimes," Kott said. "And I don't think either side gets everything they want. But I think if you get 70% of what you want, that's pretty good. And you should be happy with that."
This summer has found Biden handed a string of bipartisan legislative victories, from addressing gun violence, billions for incentivizing the semiconductor production in the U.S. and, now, this current legislation.
Each of those victories came, ironically, with Biden, the former longtime senator, being what Payne called a "bystander president."
"The reason why the bystander approach worked in these last few weeks is because the other players stepped up," Payne said.
When a president isn't involved and things don't get done, though, he said, it can be "very frustrating to parts of your coalition." That's why it's critical, Payne said, to "get the politics of it right." And that means a president and White House doing a good job telling the story of what it has accomplished.
"I think that's something that maybe the president and his team and his allies have struggled with," Payne said. "And I think what you're hoping now is that there's a more complete story to tell, that that is now something that can land better with members of his coalition."

A controversial legal theory that could radically reshape presidential and congressional elections has had a vocal supporter in filings to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Since 2020, a conservative group advocating for more restrictive voting laws has filed multiple friend-of-the-court briefs to try to influence the justices, including with the claim that the U.S. Constitution gives state legislatures the power to determine how federal elections are run without limits from state constitutions or state courts.
The group calls itself the Honest Elections Project, which since 2020, according to corporate records filed in Virginia, has been a registered business alias for The 85 Fund. That organization has federal tax-exempt status, millions of dollars in donations and spending that are hard to trace, and ties to Leonard Leo — the Federalist Society's co-chairman and former executive vice president who helped build the Supreme Court's majority of conservative justices.
Three of those justices have signaled they are likely to side with Republican state lawmakers in an upcoming North Carolina redistricting case that could result in a Supreme Court endorsement of what's known as the independent state legislature theory. The lawmakers would need the support of at least two other justices on the court, where conservatives enjoy a 6-3 supermajority.
Over the past two years, what many in the legal world considered a fringe theory has become an increasingly hot topic. The Honest Elections Project's court filings underscore how conservative groups have been urging the justices to weigh in on exactly how much power state legislatures have over rules for federal elections.
"This is a priority for us," says Jason Snead, the organization's executive director, about the North Carolina case Moore v. Harper, which the court is expected to hear in the coming months. "Obviously, a case that deals with this issue in the Supreme Court is an incredibly important inflection point. And so we will be devoting resources to this."
The group has cited the theory in court filings for past cases about election rules in Pennsylvania and North Carolina
Snead's organization has already devoted resources to other cases.
In 2020, the Honest Elections Project submitted a legal brief in support of Pennsylvania's Republican Party, which unsuccessfully brought to the U.S. Supreme Court a case over whether a state court can extend the deadline for receiving mail ballots. Citing its authority under the state's constitution, the Pennsylvania Supreme Court had ordered a three-day deadline extension to "prevent the disenfranchisement of voters" amid postal service delays during the COVID-19 pandemic's first year.
In their brief against the Pennsylvania Supreme Court's decision, the Honest Elections Project referenced the U.S. Constitution's Elections Clause and Electors Cause in arguing that state legislatures are "vested with plenary authority that cannot be divested by state constitution to determine the times, places, and manner of presidential and congressional elections."
This year, the conservative group echoed that position again at the U.S. Supreme Court in a brief for a case about whether North Carolina lawmakers could intervene in a lawsuit and defend a state law about voter IDs that the state's attorney general was already defending.
"While the Court briefly revisited the independent state legislature doctrine last Term, it has yet to 'make it clear' that the doctrine is our law," the Honest Elections Project's brief said, quoting Justice Clarence Thomas' dissenting opinion for the Pennsylvania case. "It should do so here."
Many legal scholars warn support for the theory from the Supreme Court could bring chaos to upcoming elections
Snead — the Honest Elections Project's executive director, who previously helped maintain The Heritage Foundation's voter fraud database as a senior policy analyst — says the independent state legislature theory is not "something that we just stumbled across to advance a particular political agenda" and, in his opinion, gets to "the very core of what it is to have a free election."
"I think it's something which we need to give a definitive answer to — when the Constitution says legislatures write the laws that govern our democracy, is that what it means or does it mean something else?" adds Snead.
But many legal scholars point out that state legislatures are the products of, and limited by, their states' constitutions and the U.S. Supreme Court has long deferred to state courts on interpreting state constitutions and laws.
Opponents of the independent state legislature theory warn that if it is ultimately endorsed by the highest court in the land, it could bring chaos to upcoming elections, make it easier to gerrymander maps of voting districts and clear a path for state lawmakers to try to subvert the results of the 2024 presidential race.
The court is likely to rule by next summer with its expected decision in the North Carolina redistricting case, which election law experts have been watching closely.
So far, however, the Honest Elections Project has yet to join the Republican National Committee and the National Republican Redistricting Trust in filing a friend-of-the-court brief for that case. (Both of those groups have cited variations of the independent state legislature theory in their filings.)
"This was simply a bandwidth question," Snead says, noting that the group plans to submit a brief now that the Supreme Court has agreed to take on the case. "We're, of course, very, very excited to see that the court is potentially going to step in and resolve this question."

TOPEKA, Kan. – An increase in turnout among Democrats and independents and a notable shift in Republican-leaning counties contributed to the overwhelming support of abortion rights last week in traditionally conservative Kansas, according to a detailed Associated Press analysis of the voting results.
A proposed state constitutional amendment would have allowed the Republican-controlled Legislature to tighten restrictions or ban abortions outright. But Kansas voters rejected the measure by nearly 20 percentage points, almost a mirror of Republican Donald Trump's statewide margin over Democrat Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential election.
In the aftermath of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to repeal a woman's constitutional right to an abortion, the threat of new restrictions in the state galvanized Democrats and independents more than anticipated. At the same time, Republicans showed less interest in turning out to support the measure.
The findings reinforce a sense in both parties that the Supreme Court's decision may have altered the dynamics of this year's midterm elections. Here's how it played out:
‘OVERPLAYED THEIR HAND’
In 2020, Trump carried Kansas by 18 points. Last week, not a single county in the state favored the ballot measure as much as it had supported the former president, the AP found.
In 99 of the state’s 105 counties, support for the abortion measure was more than 10 percentage points lower than its support for Trump against Biden. In 29 of those counties, that difference was more than 20 points.
And in 14 Kansas counties that Trump won, majorities rejected the amendment.
“The anti-abortion politicians have just overplayed their hand on these bans,” said Tamarra Wieder, director for Planned Parenthood Alliance Advocates in Kentucky, where another abortion measure will be on the ballot in November.
The Kansas county with the largest drop from the presidential election to the abortion referendum was Greenwood, in rural southeast Kansas. Trump won nearly 80% of the vote there in 2020, but there was about a 30-point shift on abortion, with voters narrowly favoring “no,” the position that leaves abortion rights in place for women in Kansas.
Beyond counties that flipped entirely, dozens of deeply Republican counties saw voters favor the abortion amendment as expected, but by much narrower margins than their preference for Trump two years ago. Near Topeka, for example, 72% of voters in Pottawatomie County backed the former president’s re-election, while just 57% supported the amendment.
Abortion opponents said they were stunned by the margin of the results.
“I was surprised for sure,” said Ruth Tisdale, executive director of the Advice and Aid Pregnancy Center. “I thought that it would be a closer outcome either way. I didn’t have a strong sense of whether it would pass or not, but I thought that it would be closer, you know, 51 to 49 kind of thing. ... It was very sad.”
HUGE TURNOUT, SURGE OF INDEPENDENTS
It wasn’t just the amendment’s margin of defeat that jolted the political consciousness. It was also the seam-busting turnout in what otherwise should have been a normal, low-turnout primary in a midterm election year.
The latest AP tallies show that more than 922,000 votes were cast by Kansas voters on the abortion referendum. That’s roughly twice as many voters as turned out for the state’s previous midterm primary election in 2018, and it’s about as many as turn out for Kansas’ midterm general elections in some years. Overall turnout — 48% of registered voters — outpaced the 34% turnout for the 2020 presidential primaries.
The most recent electorate also was considerably less Republican than in a typical Kansas primary. From 2010 through 2020, Republican primary ballots outnumbered non-Republican ballots by about 2-to-1. In last week’s election, according to the Kansas secretary of state’s office, the two groups turned out in nearly equal numbers.
Advocates on both sides of the amendment spent more than $14 million blanketing Kansas with ads and signs, knocking on doors and calling voters, according to state campaign finance reports.
That effort helped attract an unusual variable in Kansas primaries: independent voters. That group is eligible to vote on referenda but not for candidates running in any party primary. But campaign ads emphasized that “no affiliation” voters could indeed vote on the abortion question. It worked: Around 184,000 more votes were cast for the abortion amendment than voted for governor, a likely barometer to measure their portion of the electorate.
“The decision to overturn Roe really was a wake-up call for more moderate voters,” said Ashley All, a spokesperson for Kansans for Constitutional Freedom, a group that fought against the ballot measure.
‘ENERGY AROUND BALLOT MEASURES’
The result from Kansas is rippling into numerous other states.
In Georgia, the membership for NARAL Pro-Choice America jumped from 53,000 to more than 80,000 and could hit 100,000 by the November election, said Alicia Stallworth, the director of NARAL campaigns in the Southeastern U.S.
“I don’t think this is something that disappears,” Stallworth said of the current energy among abortion rights advocates.
Abortion-rights advocates said the decision to strike down Roe vs. Wade, the 1973 case that recognized a woman's constitutional right to an abortion, energized many voters who had assumed abortion access was safe.
“It was such a beacon of light in this moment,” said Helen Shumaker, director of state abortion access at the National Women’s Law Center, of the Kansas vote. “I think there is energy around ballot measures for the foreseeable future.”
In Ohio, Democratic gubernatorial nominee Nan Whaley has called for a statewide ballot question on a state constitutional amendment to protect abortion rights as soon as 2023.
In South Dakota, a group called Dakotans for Health is pushing a similar ballot initiative in 2024. And in Colorado, advocates want a 2024 referendum that could allow public funding for abortion.
But getting measures on ballots without going through a state legislature can be difficult. The Ballot Initiative Strategy Center, which advises liberal groups on initiative campaigns, advises the process could take three years.
‘WHY WE’RE LOSING'
In half of the states, including Kansas, only lawmakers can put propositions on the statewide ballot. That means in Texas, which bans most abortions, the only options are to wait for legislators to put an initiative to a vote—as anti-abortion lawmakers did in Kansas — or vote out the incumbents.
“In Texas we know that’s why we’re losing,” said Delma Catalina Limones, communications director for Avow, an abortion-rights group in that state.
But despite the apparent confidence of Kansas legislators to put the abortion amendment on the ballot this month, their expectations were upended by the resounding defeat.
Value Them Both Coalition, the main group in Kansas that fought in favor of the amendment, called it a “temporary setback” and promised in a statement that “our dedicated fight to value women and babies is far from over.”

EMERGING MARKETS-Indonesian rupiah, Malaysian ringgit gain among tepid Asian FX
By Archishma Iyer
Aug 12 (Reuters) - The Indonesian rupiah hovered near a two-month high on Friday amid expectations the central bank will adopt an aggressive approach to combat inflation, while the Malaysian ringgit firmed as robust economic growth lifted market sentiment.
Among other regional currencies, the Singapore dollar SGD= and the Taiwan dollar TWD=TP were flat.
The Indonesian rupiah IDR= scaled to its highest since June 13 to trade at 14,670 against the dollar. The currency has witnessed a recovery since June lows, firming more than 1% so far this month as the economy remains on track for a recovery.
With inflation and the prospect of a global recession, which could draw money away from riskier assets, there are expectations that Bank Indonesia (BI) could raise its interest rate as it is one of the last countries in the region yet to tighten their pandemic-era loose policy.
"Indonesia's terms of trade have looked increasingly attractive over recent months, offering support to its current account position and the rupiah," analysts from TD Securities said in a research note.
Analysts at Citi and OCBC are expecting the BI to raise its benchmark seven-day reverse repurchase rate in a meeting later this month, with Citi seeing a 25-basis-point hike. However, Maybank and ANZ do not see the central bank rushing to tighten.
The Malaysian ringgit MYR= saw a marginal rise despite strong data, as the central bank flagged that slowdown in global growth is expected to pose a risk to the country's outlook for the rest of 2022.
Analysts from Barclays expect the Malaysian central bank to continue its path of rate tightening amid growth optimism.
"While Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) has already increased the policy rate by 50 bps in the current cycle, the resilience of the growth recovery could push BNM to continue tightening," Barclays analysts wrote.
Markets across the region were volatile, with stocks in Singapore .STI, Indonesia .JKSE and China .SSEC falling between 0.1% and 1%, while equities in the Philippines .PSI and Malaysia .KLSE were up 0.3% each.
Globally, investors remained on the back foot, as investors digested the need for a continuous boost in interest rates to temper down elevated price pressures, despite a softer-than-expected CPI reading on Thursday. .N
Thai markets .SETI, THB=TH were shut on account of a public holiday.
HIGHLIGHTS:
** POLL - Thailand's tourism-reliant economy likely gathered pace in Q2
** Indian shares on track for fourth weekly gain; inflation data in focus
** Indonesia's benchmark 10-year bond yield down 6.953%

It’s good news that city-parish employees will get pay raises, especially in light of today’s higher inflation. But we say it is especially important that raises will go to officers of the Baton Rouge Police Department.
In the midst of a significant rise in crime nationally, as well as in Louisiana cities in particular, pay raises can help recruit and retain officers needed now more than ever.
The plan from Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome and approved unanimously by the Metro Council will increase pay to BRPD officers by 7%, and by 5% for all municipal fire and city-parish employees.
Government is not a business but can operate with principles from the private sector, and one of those is targeting compensation to where hiring is more difficult.
Council member Cleve Dunn said city-parish employees deserve a raise as much as police officers do. To a point, he is right.
In the midst of blessedly quiet hurricane season, it is easy to forget that Public Works and other staff have to go to work however bad conditions are.
But because of the particular stresses of police work — again, perhaps now more than ever — the targeting of raises to public safety employees makes good business sense.
Broome and Chief Murphy Paul commissioned a detailed study showing that compensation for officers needs to go up. That will require further steps, maybe even a tax increase, in the coming years.
For the public’s safety, that must be the priority. | https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/our_views/article_afc7abea-198f-11ed-88c9-c78960948c48.html | 2022-08-12T09:39:47Z | https://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/opinion/our_views/article_afc7abea-198f-11ed-88c9-c78960948c48.html | false |
Grain ship to dock in Ukraine, leave for Africa
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Thrown between hope and despair, expectations were raised Friday that the first U.N. grain transport ship could soon be leaving Ukraine for Africa while more Russian shelling struck the east of the country.
Closing in on the half-year mark, the war has sent food prices sky-high and left poorer countries with ever less hope they would be getting supplies from the breadbasket of Europe. On Friday, European Council President Charles Michel announced though that the first World Food Program transport for Africa was poised to depart.
He said the ship would load in a Ukrainian port and depart for Ethiopia, saying “cooperation of all involved actors is key” to avoid food shortage and hunger around the world. Such a move would be a big step in the food crisis caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24.
The ship, Brave Commander, would take more than 23,000 metric tons (27,500 short tons) of grain and export it to Ethiopia.
While Ukrainian and Western officials have repeatedly spoken of the crucial role of grain shipments from Ukraine’s Black Sea ports in staving off a global food crisis, many of the first dozen vessels to leave the ports were bound for destinations in Turkey and Western Europe. Some analysts attributed this to the need to free up scarce docking space, saying that ships which have been trapped in the ports the longest were likely prioritized.
If such news provided a rare glimmer of hope from the gloomiest of surroundings, it was offset by the incessant fighting in eastern Ukraine, where the war entered its 170th day. Specifically the Donbas town of Kramatorsk was hit by 11 rockets overnight. Seven people were killed and 14 others were wounded in the region, which remains cut off from gas, running water and electricity.
“Three quarters of the population of the region have already been evacuated, because incessant shelling by the Russian army doesn’t leave civilians any choice — it’s either to die from wounds, or from hunger and cold in winter,” Donetsk regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko told Ukrainian television.
The world also continued to worry about the threat of a nuclear disaster in eastern Ukraine where shelling has hit the area, which is home to Europe’s largest nuclear plant.
Shelling near the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia facility continued overnight. Russian forces fired more than 40 rockets at the city of Marhanets, which is across the Dnieper river from the power plant. Three people were wounded in the most recent shelling, including a 12-year-old boy. The neighboring city of Nikopol was shelled as well, said Valentyn Reznichenko, the governor of the Dnipropetrovsk region.
The U.N. nuclear chief warned late Thursday that “very alarming” military activity at the nuclear plant could lead to dangerous consequences.
International Atomic Energy Agency Director-General Rafael Grossi urged Russia and Ukraine, who blame each other for the attacks at the plant, to immediately allow nuclear experts to assess damage and evaluate safety and security at the sprawling nuclear complex where the situation “has been deteriorating very rapidly.”
He pointed to shelling and several explosions at Zaporizhzhia last Friday that forced the shutdown of the electrical power transformer and two backup transformers, forcing the shutdown of one nuclear reactor.

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania's Democratic Senator Bob Casey was in Harrisburg on Thursday to praise the Inflation Reduction Act.
Joined by state and local officials on the steps of the Capitol, Sen. Casey said the legislation will lower health care and prescription drug costs. It is also said to ensure American manufacturing is at the forefront of the clean energy industry.
He says it will reduce energy costs and lower the deficit by imposing more taxes on big corporations as well.
"In just one bill: reducing the cost of prescription drugs, combating climate change, helping coal miners, helping our farmers, helping those who live in communities that have been left out of environmental justice for too long—all of that is an achievement," Sen. Casey said.
Above all else, he says the legislation will help American families currently struggling amid persistently high inflation.
Pa. Dems Chair and Pennsylvania State Senator for the 3rd District Sharif Street, Pennsylvania State Representative for the 103rd District Patty Kim, and Pa. Dems Black Caucus Chair Lisa Rhodes all spoke at the conference alongside Sen. Casey. | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/sen-bob-casey-inflation-reduction-act-harrisburg-press-conference/521-9d262bd5-1114-480b-a1b2-48e71b3d3115 | 2022-08-12T09:43:10Z | https://www.fox43.com/article/news/local/sen-bob-casey-inflation-reduction-act-harrisburg-press-conference/521-9d262bd5-1114-480b-a1b2-48e71b3d3115 | true |
LAS VEGAS, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Thrive Aviation was awarded the coveted Platinum safety rating in an upgrade to their longtime Gold status, after completing an on-site audit with ARG/US' standards team. The review is an in-depth, historical safety-analysis of planes, pilots, and procedures, as well as a validation of enhanced standards in the operation's SMS and Emergency Response Plans.
Known as the industry's most respected, unbiased, and detailed third-party safety analysis, the ARG/US Platinum designation is another impressive milestone in Thrive's emergence as one of the country's premier, luxury jet operators.
Thrive's Director of Safety, Brian Harlan, has led the company's pursuit of elevating its safety-first culture and operating procedures over the past two years. Brian comments on the achievement: "ARG/US Platinum has become the standard by which other standards are set. This is not just a stamp of approval in process, but a reflection of our team's hard work and commitment to a superior culture of safety before anything else!"
Co-Founder and Thrive's acting Director of Operations, Stuart Edenfield adds: "We've always been a safety-first organization, but with our rapid growth over the past few years, we knew that we needed to invest heavily in scaling that culture. The recent audit by ARG/US and resulting Platinum designation was a great validation in our team's ability to meet and maintain the highest safety standards in the industry!"
As they prepare to expand their operational footprint globally with the addition of a new Gulfstream G600, Thrive also achieved IS-BAO Stage 1 certification through a simultaneous audit of international operating standards. The new designations place Thrive Aviation among an elite population of the Nation's top rated charter operators.
Thrive Aviation is a private aviation company dedicated to providing proactive service and elevated flight experiences for its guests and partners across North America. With corporate headquarters at Henderson Executive Airport, Thrive Aviation's main operational footprint in Las Vegas includes a large-scale expansion of over 30,000 square feet which includes a private hangar along with a separate dedicated maintenance facility; all at Harry Reid International Airport. Thrive Aviation doubled its owned/operated fleet of light, mid, super-mid and large cabin aircraft during 2021 with additional super-mid and long-range acquisitions scheduled through 2023.

SGS Quay Pharma has had notable success in the United States, where it has now opened a dedicated sales office and development and manufacturing facility. Other significant new markets include Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Iceland, South Korea and Australia.
One of the major reasons for this continued success in recent years has been the company’s work in live biotherapeutics, which focus on the use of microbes to illicit a pharmaceutical response, specifically targeted at the immune system. SGS Quay Pharma was the first globally licensed CDMO able to support this new field of pharmaceutical therapies, which might result in a paradigm shift in the way diseases are treated.
The company has continued to invest to support its ongoing expansion. As well as the establishment of its US operation, this has included the opening of a second 22,500 sq ft laboratory and office facility, close to its headquarters in Deeside Industrial Park, alongside the creation of specialised manufacturing spaces and the purchase of specialist equipment to support and expand its range of services.
“We were delighted to welcome the Lord Lieutenant to our headquarters and to be able to share this important award with our team, who have all been critical to our achieving this honour,” said SGS Quay Pharma’s commercial operations director, Maireadh Pedersen.
“This is an exciting time for pharmaceutical outsourcing, and we have ambitious plans to continue to develop our global business. The Queen’s Award provides the ideal foundation for the next phase of our growth.”
Established in 2002, SGS Quay Pharma has built a strong reputation for the contract development and clinical manufacture of innovative medicines, with particular expertise in oral dosage form design and semi solids formulation and development, and the ability to resolve the challenges of drugs that are known to be difficult to absorb within the body.
The company’s range of services includes early stage (pre-clinical) formulation development, novel drug delivery design, analytical R&D development, stability testing, and clinical trial manufacture, commercial manufacture and packing of new drug compounds. The company became part of SGS, the Swiss-based world leading Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) specialist, in December 2021. | https://pharmaceuticalmanufacturer.media/pharma-manufacturing-news/latest-pharmaceutical-manufacturing-news/sgs-quay-pharma-receives-queen-s-award-for-industry/ | 2022-08-12T09:43:44Z | https://pharmaceuticalmanufacturer.media/pharma-manufacturing-news/latest-pharmaceutical-manufacturing-news/sgs-quay-pharma-receives-queen-s-award-for-industry/ | true |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles is returning ancient sculptures and other works of art that were illegally exported from Italy, the museum announced Thursday.
The Getty will return a nearly life-size group of Greek terra-cotta sculptures known as “Orpheus and the Sirens,” believed to date from the fourth century B.C., according to the museum.
The sculpture group was purchased by J. Paul Getty in 1976 shortly before his death and had been on display for decades.
However, the museum now believes they were illegally excavated and taken out of Italy, based on evidence uncovered by the Manhattan district attorney’s office, the Getty said in a statement.
“It’s just extremely rare and there’s nothing similar in our collection, or closely similar in any collection,” Getty Museum director Timothy Potts told the Los Angeles Times. “It does leave a hole in our gallery but with this evidence that came forth, there was no question that it needed to be sent back to Italy.”
The fragile sculptures will be sent to Rome in September to join collections designated by the Italian Ministry of Culture, the Getty said.
The museum also is working with the Ministry of Culture to arrange the return of four other objects at a future date. Those include a “colossal marble head of a divinity” and a stone mold for casting pendants, both from the second century A.D., along with an Etruscan bronze incense burner from the fourth century B.C. and a 19th century painting by Camillo Miola entitled “Oracle at Delphi,” the Getty said. | https://www.localsyr.com/entertainment-news/getty-museum-in-la-to-return-illegally-exported-art-to-italy/ | 2022-08-12T09:50:51Z | https://www.localsyr.com/entertainment-news/getty-museum-in-la-to-return-illegally-exported-art-to-italy/ | true |
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Model and actor Jerry Hall and media mogul Rupert Murdoch have agreed to the terms of their pending divorce, her attorney said Thursday.
Hall filed a request in Los Angeles Superior Court on Wednesday to dismiss her original petition for divorce from Murdoch, which she filed last month, with permission to file a new one.
Her attorney Judith L. Poller said in an email Thursday that “Jerry and Rupert Murdoch have finalized their divorce. They remain good friends and wish each other the best for the future.”
No details were released on the agreement the two have reached. Hall had sought an unspecified amount of spousal support in her original petition, and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split. She and Murdoch have no children together.
Hall, 66, and Murdoch, 91, married in London in 2016.
It was the fourth marriage for Murdoch. Hall was previously the longtime partner of Mick Jagger. They have four children together. | https://www.localsyr.com/entertainment-news/jerry-hall-rupert-murdoch-reach-agreement-on-divorce/ | 2022-08-12T09:50:58Z | https://www.localsyr.com/entertainment-news/jerry-hall-rupert-murdoch-reach-agreement-on-divorce/ | false |
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A protester has filed a federal civil lawsuit against the city of San Francisco claiming that a paramedic, under the direction of a police sergeant, injected her against her will with a sedative while she was handcuffed after being removed from a Golden State Warriors championship game for demonstrating in favor of abortion rights.
Kareim McKnight and a friend, Amanda Piasecki, were at Game 5 of the Warriors series against the Boston Celtics at Chase Center on June 13 when they walked onto the main floor and displayed a banner that read “Overturn Roe? Hell No!” A draft of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade was leaked in May.
Video shared by McKnight’s attorney, John Burris, who filed the lawsuit this week, showed security guards dragging McKnight and Piasecki by their feet out of the venue.
McKnight said that once they were outside, a San Francisco Police sergeant threatened to have her sedated.
She said San Francisco Fire Department employees then strapped her to a gurney and wheeled her toward an emergency vehicle.
“While I was on the ground, handcuffed in front of the emergency vehicle, one of the firefighters came with a needle towards me and I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and I flinched and I said, ‘No!’ what if I’m allergic, you can’t just inject me,’” she said.
McKnight said the paramedic didn’t ask her any medical questions and wouldn’t tell her what she was injected with. She said she felt dizzy and began slurring her words.
“Giving an injection to a protester against her will is shocking and illegal,” Burris said, adding that officials violated McKnight’s Fourth Amendment right to control her own body.
She was taken for observation to a Kaiser Permanente hospital, which gave her a document showing she was given 5 milligrams of a drug called Versed, a sedative often prescribed to reduce anxiety. McKnight shared a photo of the document with The Associated Press that also described her as being in “a distressed emotional state after an altercation with SFPD.”
McKnight said she was not in emotional distress.
San Francisco’s policy on dealing with adults “with severe agitation posing a danger to self or others” allows for the use of the drug midazolam, a short-acting sedative sold under the brand name Versed, according to the county’s emergency medical services protocols.
The San Francisco Fire Department wouldn’t say when the county approved the sedative to be used on people being detained or how many times the sedative has been used on detainees. Both the San Francisco Police and Fire Department referred all questions to the city attorney.
Jen Kwart, a spokeswoman for City Attorney David Chiu, said the office couldn’t comment on the lawsuit because it had not yet been served.
The use of sedatives by authorities first got national attention in 2020 when protesters seeking police reform highlighted the death of Elijah McClain, a Black man who was stopped by police in suburban Denver in August 2019. Paramedics were called and injected McClain with the powerful sedative ketamine, but they incorrectly estimated his weight, giving him more than 1.5 times the dose he should have received.
McClain, 23, suffered cardiac arrest, was later declared brain dead, and taken off life support.
A 2020 analysis by The Associated Press of policies on the use of ketamine and cases when the drug was used during police encounters uncovered a lack of police training, conflicting medical standards, and nonexistent protocols that have resulted in hospitalizations and deaths. The review found there are no federal standards for law enforcement or emergency medical personnel on the drug’s use. State policies and reporting requirements vary, so it’s not clear how regularly it’s used during police encounters and why.
Burris said that in his more than four decades as an attorney, he has never heard of authorities sedating a fully restrained protester.
“The worst part of giving her the injection was that she was strapped to a gurney, handcuffed, and therefore was not a danger to herself or anyone else,” he said. | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/protester-san-francisco-paramedic-sedated-her-involuntarily/ | 2022-08-12T09:56:47Z | https://www.localsyr.com/news/national/protester-san-francisco-paramedic-sedated-her-involuntarily/ | false |

What are the best baseball cleats?
Baseball requires plenty of equipment to play, and while high-quality gear such as bats and gloves is crucial for performing at a high level, don’t underestimate the importance of reliable cleats. Baseball cleats provide players with the traction and protection they need to succeed on the diamond, but there are a few things to consider before buying a new pair.
How do I choose the best baseball cleats?
Size
Your cleats could be made with advanced technology, but they won’t serve you well if you don’t buy the correct size. Wearing shoes that fit too tightly can be uncomfortable at best and, at worst, cause pain, swelling and blisters. Your cleats should have a snug fit, but leaving some room is critical to prevent soreness. However, be cautious and ensure that your shoes aren’t too large, as this can cause tripping and injury.
Types of cleats
There are two types of baseball cleats: molded and metal.
- Molded cleats have rubber studs and are more durable than metal cleats but don’t offer the same level of grip.
- Metal cleats are considered the standard for baseball cleats, especially at the highest levels. They offer excellent traction but are not as durable as molded cleats.
Turf shoes
Turf shoes don’t have studs or spikes like baseball cleats but have a textured rubber pattern. Turf shoes can be worn for training drills but are unsuitable for games since they don’t offer enough traction for high-speed, agile movements on outdoor surfaces.
Ankle length
The ankle length of your baseball cleats should depend on your fielding position, physique and skill. Many taller and stockier infielders prefer high-cut or mid-cut cleats since they provide more stability and ankle support. Speedier outfielders often prefer low-cut shoes since they’re more lightweight and don’t limit mobility as much as high-cut or mid-cut shoes.
Cost and durability
Your baseball cleats should remain usable for two or three seasons, but some players wear out their shoes much faster than others. The most durable baseball shoes cost $60-$150, but if you don’t play often and don’t want to spend too much money on a pair, you can find reliable cleats for $40-$60.

The Orioles may be winning more often these days, but as an organization, they’ve shown they leave much to be desired.
Trey Mancini stuck with his team through its darkest days. He was not only a clubhouse leader, he became the face of the Orioles organization. His fight back from Stage 3 colon cancer embodied the tenacious, never-say-die attitude that has come to characterize the current pitch of Orioles, and he is as responsible as anyone for the team’s newfound success.
Mancini was the soul of the Orioles.
The Orioles just sold their soul for a couple of pitching prospects who ultimately may have all the promise of Ubaldo Jimenez. One needs surgery, for crying out loud.
In the end, the Orioles thanked Mancini with a pat on the back and a hardy farewell.
Personally, I don’t care if they traded Mancini for Babe Ruth. The organization owed him. They repaid him with betrayal. It was only a couple weeks ago, Mancini all but pleaded with the front office to let him finish the year as an Oriole so he could be part of the team’s first run at the playoffs in years. Surely, he had earned that much consideration for all he’s meant to this club. It was too much to ask.
I know, I know, Major League Baseball is a business, but the Orioles have proven themselves to be as heartless as the worst robber barons of the Gilded Age.
Let’s face it, baseball is not what it used to be. Players drop in and drop out like people checking in and out of a hotel. In the old days, we knew the players, who established close and lasting relationships with their communities. Sure, there were trades, but fans could count on a core contingent to be there season after season. Brooks Robinson, Cal Ripken, Jim Palmer, Boog Powell.
Today, they come and go so fast you need a scorecard to know who’s on the scorecard.
Making things worse, the game itself is heading down a path that makes it far less satisfying as a sport. Analytics is killing baseball.
Two out in the bottom of the ninth. Man on second with the tying run at the plate. The count, 3-2. Here comes the pitch. The batter hits a bullet to the gap in left-center. Unfortunately, the shortstop has positioned himself on the precise spot the computer told him the ball would be hit. He raises his glove and snags the ball for the third out. Game over. How exciting.
Of course, the announcers can always regale us with stats about how many miles per hour the ball came off the bat, the spin rate of the curve he hit, and how many times the batter hit a similar ball to left-center in the ninth inning during evening games played in August against right-handed pitchers named Bob.
If baseball is being challenged for its designation as the national pastime, this is why. Today’s game is boring. Major League Baseball thinks tweaking the rules with pizza-box-sized bases, machines calling balls and strikes, pitch clocks, and “stealing first” will bring back the excitement technology has stolen.
Today, even a close call at the plate has all the excitement of a haircut. What’s the call? Who cares? People in New York are going to microscopically dissect the video replay and will let us know how things work out in a few minutes. Who knows, maybe the catcher had his foot in the wrong place.
Baseball was great when it was a game of inches. Today, it is a game of some measurement too small to calculate. Personally, I don’t care if a runner’s foot hit the bag one nanosecond before the ball entered the fielder’s glove, or a tag just creased a fold in the runner’s uniform as he slid into second.
Soon, some machine is going to call sterile, clinically accurate balls and strikes. I don’t know about you, but I liked watching Earl Weaver and Billy Martin go after umpires. It was part of the entertainment. Fans, falling asleep in the stands, always wake up when the manager is out on the field kicking dirt on an umpire. In fact, it’s when fans are the loudest and most engaged. They love it! Maybe today’s managers can kick dirt on a keyboard.
Until now, baseball was always a game of subtleties of human interactions governed more by unwritten canon than anything found in the rule book. What held it together, what gave the game its enduring appeal was its character, an ethos, a set of traditions and customs developed over more than a century of play.
Technology is sucking the life out of the game. It’s robbing it of its color and personality.
Baseball instinct and intuition, the kind that set greats like Casey Stengel, John McGraw, and even Earl Weaver apart from their peers, both past and present, has been replaced with algorithms and high-speed cameras. An irrational desire to make the game perfect has destroyed what made the game great.
It’s no longer a human endeavor.
And that’s why Mancini is no longer an Oriole. Some computer program told the front office the team needed someone different.
Mancini probably hit the ball at the wrong launch angle.
How stupid of him.

House Is Set to Pass Climate, Tax and Health Package
WASHINGTON — The House on Friday stood ready to approve key pieces of President Biden’s domestic agenda, bringing Democrats’ efforts to pass into law a climate, tax and health care package that seemed dead just weeks ago. to feed.
Lawmakers will return one day from their planned summer recess to vote on the legislation, which faces unanimous Republican opposition. Biden is expected to sign the measure shortly after. The Senate approved it on Sunday.
The legislation would pump more than $370 billion into climate and energy programs that should help the United States reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 40 percent below 2005 levels by the end of the decade. It would also renew three-year grants under the Affordable Care Act and fulfill a long-held Democratic goal to lower the cost of prescription drugs by allowing Medicare to negotiate prices directly and reduce the annual out-of-pocket cost to recipients for $ 2,000.
The package would be largely funded by tax increases, including a new corporate share buyback tax and a minimum corporate tax of 15 percent for high net worth companies. Initial analyzes of the legislation showed it could reduce the country’s deficit by as much as $300 billion in a decade.
“This life-changing legislation is leveraging the public interest over special interest,” California Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote this week. a letter to her colleagues. “This bill,” she added, “makes a huge difference at the kitchen table of American families.”
What’s in the Climate, Health and Tax Act
Passing the legislation would close a grueling piece of negotiations for Democrats. For more than a year, they worked to find a compromise that could not only appease a left wing eager to enact a comprehensive plan that would change the nation’s social safety net, but also secure the votes of major centrist holdouts reluctant to back billions in new spending as inflation soared.
The bill falls far short of the $2.2 trillion Build Back Better Act, which Ms. Pelosi tried to pass in the House in November. That bill included much more sweeping changes to the tax code, as well as billions of dollars to create a federal paid leave program, provide support for most families with children, and expand housing, home health care and public education. It faltered in the Senate a month later, when West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin III, a centrist Democrat, dismissed it as exorbitant and walked away from the talks.
But the final product, called the Inflation Reduction Act, is a major victory for Democrats just months before they defend their slim majority in Congress in November’s midterm elections. In her letter, Ms Pelosi acknowledged that several priorities had been scrapped to put together a narrower package and vowed that “we must never give up on that fight — and we will continue it in future legislation.”
At one point, when talks between Mr Manchin and New York’s Majority Leader Chuck Schumer faltered last month, Democrats grappled with the prospect of issuing just one health package. Once a deal was struck with climate priorities and some tax hikes, they rallied behind the plan.
“While we are heartbroken to see several vital pieces about the healthcare economy, housing and immigration left on the cutting floor — as well as a successful Republican effort to remove insulin price caps for those with private insurance — we know that the Inflation Reduction Act takes real steps forward on key progressive priorities,” Washington Representative Pramila Jayapal, the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said in a statement after the Senate passed the measure.
How Times reporters cover politics.
We rely on our journalists to be independent observers. So while Times employees may vote, they may not support or campaign for candidates or political causes. This includes participating in marches or rallies in support of a movement or giving money to, or raising money for, a political candidate or election cause.
Some centrist Democrats, especially those from high-income states who had threatened to withhold their vote if legislation didn’t cap how much families can deduct in state and local taxes, also announced their support.
“Because this legislation does not increase taxes for families in my district, but in fact significantly lowers their costs, I will vote for it,” said New Jersey Democrat Representative Mikie Sherrill.
Its approval comes just days after Mr. Biden signed both a $280 billion industrial policy bill that will support U.S. chip manufacturing in an effort to better compete with China, and legislation that will expand medical benefits for veterans exposed. to waste fires burning on military legal bases, the latest in a string of legislative successes.
While Republicans were unanimously against the package, Democrats used the accelerated fiscal reconciliation process to push legislation through both chambers, as they did with the $1.9 trillion pandemic aid package last year. Completely removed from the process, Republicans were outraged that the bill did little to address inflation and criticized plans for tax hikes and increased federal spending. (Many economists agree that it will likely dampen inflation, albeit modestly and not immediately.)
“Having received a ‘take it or leave it’ offer from the Senate Democrats, with no opportunity to provide input or change the bill, I am appalled that the majority is once again choosing to just pass it.” Oklahoma Representative Tom Cole, the top Republican on the House Rules Committee, at a hearing Wednesday. He added, “It should come as no surprise that no Republican will vote for this bill, just as no Republican voted for the latest reconciliation bill.”
Republicans have partially trained their anger on a proposal to invest $80 billion in the Internal Revenue Service. Democrats say it will bolster the historically underfunded agency and help crack down on wealthy tax evaders and corporations, but Republicans have branded it a heavy-handed attack on lower and middle class taxpayers. In response to the criticism, Janet L. Yellen, the Secretary of the Treasury, said: instructed the desk this week to ensure there is no increase in audits for small businesses or families making less than $400,000.
Others scoffed at the fact that not the entire House would be present to vote on the legislation. Since Friday morning, more than a third of House lawmakers had filed the necessary paperwork needed to vote by proxy — a practice instituted to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, citing “the ongoing public health emergency” as a reason for not being able to vote in person.

BERLIN (AP) — Latvia’s Parliament on Thursday declared Russia a “state sponsor of terrorism” for attacks on civilians during the war in Ukraine and urged other countries to follow suit.
Lawmakers adopted a strongly worded statement that accuses Moscow of using “suffering and intimidation as tools in its attempts to demoralize the Ukrainian people and armed forces and paralyze the functioning of the state.”
It declares that Latvia’s Parliament “recognizes Russia’s violence against civilians in pursuit of political aims as terrorism, recognizes Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and calls on other like-minded countries to express the same view.”
Sixty-seven lawmakers in the 100-seat assembly voted in favor of adopting the statement and 16 abstained, the Parliament said.
The resolution says Russian forces are deliberately targeting Ukrainian civilians in the war, including with attacks on a theater in Mariupol in March, a shopping mall in Kremenchuk in June and a residential area of Odesa in July.
Russia rejects deliberately targeting civilians in the conflict, which it describes as a “special military operation.”
The Latvian Parliament also called on Western countries to reinforce sanctions on Russia and urged fellow members of the European Union to stop issuing tourist visas to citizens of Russia and Belarus.
The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Latvian Parliament adopted the statement last week before submitting it to the full assembly.
Committee chairman Rihars Kols said the resolution was a political statement that could have practical implications by inspiring other countries to take similar measures, adding momentum to efforts to reinforce sanctions on Moscow and set up a tribunal to prosecute war crimes.
Neighboring Lithuania adopted a similar resolution in May and Estonia may follow suit in coming weeks, Kols said.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova denounced the Latvian statement as a manifestation of “xenophobia.”
Sergei Tsekov, a member of the upper house of Russia’s parliament, warned that Russia would take “retaliatory measures that will show Latvia its place and will be quite painful.” That could include restrictions on transit, he said in remarks carried by state news agency RIA Novosti.
The Baltic countries, which spent almost five decades under Soviet occupation, are among the staunchest supporters of Ukraine and the fiercest critics of the government of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Estonia decided Thursday to stop allowing Russian citizens entry with tourist visas starting Aug. 18. EU countries banned air travel from Russia after it invaded Ukraine, but officials in Estonia and Finland say Russian tourists have circumvented the flight bans by traveling by land to neighboring EU countries and then taking flights to other European destinations.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. nuclear chief warned Thursday that “very alarming” military activity at Europe’s largest nuclear plant in southeastern Ukraine could lead to dangerous consequences for the region and called for an end to attacks at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia facility.
Rafael Grossi urged Russia and Ukraine, who blame each other for the attacks at the plant, to immediately allow nuclear experts to assess damage and evaluate safety and security at the sprawling nuclear complex where the situation “has been deteriorating very rapidly.”
He pointed to shelling and several explosions at Zaporizhzhia last Friday that forced the shutdown of the electrical power transformer and two backup transformers, forcing the shutdown of one nuclear reactor.
Last week, Grossi said in an Associated Press interview that the situation at Zaporizhzhia was “completely out of control.”
On Thursday, he demanded a halt to military actions “that have even the smallest potential to jeopardize nuclear safety” at such an important installation. While a preliminary assessment by experts found “no immediate threat to nuclear safety” at the plant from the shelling and military actions, “this could change at any moment,” he warned.
Grossi’s appeal echoed U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres’ call earlier Thursday for an end to all military activity around the Zaporizhzhia plant, warning that any damage could lead to “catastrophic consequences” in the vicinity, the region and beyond.
Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, gave a virtual briefing to the U.N. Security Council at a meeting called by Russia to discuss what Moscow claims were Ukrainian attacks on the plant.
While the plant is controlled by Russia, its Ukrainian staff continues to run the nuclear operations. It is in Enerhodar, a city seized by Russian troops in early March soon after they invaded Ukraine.
Grossi said statements received from Russia and Ukraine “are frequently contradicted” and the IAEA can’t corroborate important facts unless its experts visit Zaporizhzhia.
Russian Ambassador Vassily Nebenzia told the council that ”Kyiv’s criminal attacks on nuclear infrastructure are pushing the world to the brink of nuclear catastrophe.”
He accused Ukrainian armed forces in recent days of repeatedly using heavy artillery and multiple-launch rocket systems to shell the Zaporizhzhia plant, including on Thursday.
“The background radiation at the nuclear power plant at the moment is within limits, but if the strikes continue it is only a question of time,” Nebenzia warned. “We call on states that support the Kyiv regime to bring their proxies into check to compel them to immediately and once and for all stop attacks.”
Ukraine’s U.N. ambassador, Sergiy Kyslytsya, accused Russia of using “elaborate plans of deceit, sabotage and cover-ups” to stage the shelling at Zaporizhzhia, including on Thursday, which poses “an unprecedented threat to nuclear security for Ukraine, to Europe and the world as a whole.”
The Ukrainian state company operating the plant, Enerhoatom, said there was renewed Russian shelling of the Zaporizhzhia facility and nearby buildings Thursday.
“Five (hits) were recorded near the plant management’s office — right next to the welding site and the storage facility for radiation sources,” Enerhoatom said in a post on its official Telegram channel. “The grass caught fire over a small area, but fortunately, no one was hurt.”
Ukraine’s ambassador told the council the only way to remove the nuclear threats is by withdrawing Russian troops and returning the plant to Ukraine’s control.
Nebenzia said Russia supported an IAEA visit in June to Zaporizhzhia, which was given “a red light” at the last minute by U.N. security experts. Moscow is ready to provide “all possible assistance” to resolve any issues for a visit “even before the end of August,” he said.
Yevhen Balytskyy, the Kremlin-installed temporary head of the Zaporizhzhia region, said Thursday that the Russia-backed administration there stood ready to ensure the safety and security of any IAEA delegation sent to investigate conditions. He said in an interview on Russian state TV that the Kremlin-backed authorities had prepared armored vehicles for the international envoys.
Kyslytsya blamed Russia’s “unjustified conditions” for the delay in getting IAEA experts to Zaporizhzhia, and said Ukraine stands ready to provide “all necessary assistance” to facilitate the nuclear team’s travels through Ukrainian-controlled territory, which is just five miles from the plant across the Dnieper River.
Bonnie Jenkins, U.S. undersecretary of state for arms control, called the situation at Zaporizhzhia “another tragic result” of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. She said the solution is straightforward: Russia should immediately withdraw its forces from Ukraine so Ukrainians can to restore “the impeccable safety, security, and safeguards performance it upheld for decades at the facility.”
At the end of the council meeting, Grossi said there was “a common denominator” among the 15 members: “Everybody agrees that nuclear safety and security must be preserved. … And everybody believes that this mission must take place.”
“So, it’s no longer a matter of if, it’s only a matter of when,” the U.N. nuclear chief said. “The when must be as soon as possible.”
Guterres appealed in a statement “for common sense and reason” to avoid any actions “that might endanger the physical integrity, safety or security of the nuclear plant,” and for the withdrawal of all military personnel and equipment.
The Russian capture of Zaporizhzhia renewed fears that reactors at the largest of Ukraine’s four nuclear plants could be damaged, setting off another emergency like the 1986 Chernobyl accident, the world’s worst nuclear disaster. That happened about 110 kilometers (65 miles) north of the capital Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told defense leaders at a conference in Copenhagen on Thursday that the consequences of a radiation accident at Zaporizhzhia “could be even more catastrophic than Chernobyl, and essentially the same as the use of nuclear weapons by Russia, but without a nuclear strike.”
“If the Soviet authorities tried to hide the Chernobyl disaster and its full consequences, Russian authorities are much more cynical and dangerous,” he said. “They are doing everything themselves to maximize the risk of a nuclear disaster, and lie to the whole world that someone else is allegedly to blame.”

"SS&C GlobeOp's Capital Movement Index rose 0.12% in August 2022, indicating positive net flows into funds. However, on a comparative basis, this increase was smaller than the 0.55% gain reported a year ago," said Bill Stone, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, SS&C Technologies. "The rate of capital flows into hedge funds has been trending upward for the past several years but has flattened somewhat in recent months in the current economic environment of higher inflation and interest rates."

In May 2018, after a high school shooting killed 10 people, the Santa Fe, Texas, Resiliency Center opened in a church. Any resident could see a counselor, attend a support group, and take part in a healing mandala coloring class, music therapy, or a workshop on emotional first aid — all free of charge.
Today, the center sits in a strip mall sandwiched between a seafood restaurant and vacant storefronts. On a recent evening, instead of patients filling the waiting room, counselors saw clients over video from their offices. The center looks empty, but according to therapists, the need is still there.
"There is still a lot of pain," said Jacquelyn Poteet, a chatty therapist who runs the center. About 186 people see counselors every month, but she said far more people probably need the services in the city of nearly 13,000 people. "A lot of people don't even realize they've got trauma."
Recently, she said, a former high school student had contemplated suicide. It was a "really close call," she said. "We're not out of the woods."
In the past four years, millions of dollars for mental health services have flooded this city, which feels remote even though it is only 6 miles off the highway connecting Houston and Galveston. But the lesson of Santa Fe, in a year in which the U.S. has averaged more than one mass shooting a day, is that even time and money haven't healed the deep, lingering grief that is unique to such events. Santa Fe, like communities across the country, has been forever changed.
Most locals agree that four years after the unthinkable occurred, Santa Fe is still reeling from those 30 minutes between the 17-year-old gunman's opening shots and his surrender to police. And they are still grappling with everything that came after — the school board fights, the City Hall turnover, the shooter's still-delayed trial, and even conflict over the mental health offerings provided in response.
Some people are skeptical of therapists
The lasting trauma here serves as a cautionary tale for residents of Highland Park, Ill.; Uvalde, Texas; Buffalo, N.Y. — and everywhere else affected by such violence. Santa Fe's experience reveals both the importance and the challenge of building mental health resources quickly and sustainably, especially in communities that lacked them before the traumatizing event.
Prior to the shooting, few therapists worked directly in Santa Fe. And like several small communities in rural America, it's a place where many people are skeptical of therapists, either not realizing they need the help or simply preferring to ignore the pain. Four years later, Santa Fe is still mired in grief, just as the federal funding that helped establish its local mental health infrastructure recedes.
After the shooting, the state created the Texas Child Mental Health Care Consortium, which includes a program that helps schools connect children to mental health specialists virtually within two weeks. But that program has been rolled out to 40% of the state's student population so far — and it had not reached Uvalde before its May school shooting.
"In light of Uvalde, there is a desire to make these programs fully statewide," said Dr. David Lakey, presiding officer of the consortium and vice chancellor for health affairs at the University of Texas System.
In June, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott announced that Texas would spend $5 million for a resiliency center in Uvalde. That city, too, previously had few mental health services. Eight years ago, Congress began funding community behavioral health clinics, but they have been slow to spread across the country. A new federal effort aims to expand them further.
Communities that have experienced mass shootings illustrate the long-term reach of such trauma. In 2019, six years after Jeremy Richman's daughter, Avielle, was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, he took his own life. Later that year, Columbine shooting survivor Austin Eubanks died of an accidental heroin overdose at age 37, two decades after he was wounded and his best friend was killed.
After a shooting, people would ideally have access to services through several routes: their primary care doctor, specialists in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy, and even residential treatment programs, said Dr. Shaili Jain, an expert in post-traumatic stress disorder and trauma at Stanford University. "What is the future going to be for children who survive these massive traumatic events if they don't get the mental health help they need?" she said.
Following the Santa Fe shooting in 2018, "everyone was scrambling" to organize the mental health response, said Deedra Van Ness, whose daughter witnessed the attack. Santa Fe officials and mental health groups applied for grants through the federal Victims of Crime Act Fund, which draws money from criminal fines, forfeited bonds and other federal court fees. The city set up the resiliency center in a Methodist church that the Red Cross had used for initial crisis operations because it was one of the few buildings with space in the sprawling community.
Van Ness' daughter, Isabelle Laymance, had spent 30 minutes locked in an art room supply closet, which the shooter fired into, killing several teens. Van Ness sent Laymance, now 19, to a teen PTSD specialist in nearby Clear Lake City for nine months, which cost as much as $300 a month with insurance, before moving her to the resiliency center. There she was referred to the Trauma and Grief Center at Texas Children's Hospital. Her visits were free, but her psychiatric medication cost about $20 a month.
Van Ness said her daughter would experience hourslong panic attacks at school, the same one where the shooting occurred. She was absent for more than 100 days during her sophomore year. At one point, Van Ness said, she and her family were going to the resiliency center daily to attend family counseling and use other services.
Flo Rice, a substitute teacher injured in the Santa Fe shooting, was able to connect immediately with a counselor from the Galveston Family Service Center who showed up one day in her hospital room. For years she called, texted and saw her free of charge. But Rice is forever changed. She can't be near a school or go to restaurants. She can't sleep without medication.
"PTSD, for me, it's lifelong," Rice said.
The state has given $7 million to service providers, the city and the school district through the federal crime victims' fund in response to the shooting, according to the governor's office. Still, the amounts have decreased every year, with some groups no longer receiving funds, according to state records.
The city doesn't have the budget to fund such programs itself, Santa Fe Mayor Bill Pittman said.
The paucity of resources is representative of the larger mental health care gaps in the state, said Greg Hansch, executive director of the Texas chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness. Unlike most states, Texas didn't expand eligibility for Medicaid, the federal-state program for low-income Americans that is the single-largest payer of mental health services in the country. And the state, like many others, has a severe shortage of mental health care workers. More than half of Texas' population lives in areas with a shortage of mental health care professionals, according to KFF.
The Santa Fe community is torn between forgetting and grieving. Memorials to the eight students and two teachers killed dot this city. An 8-foot-tall empty aluminum chair stands in front of the high school. Ten white crosses are planted in the grass next to the Maranatha Christian Center. Green-and-black benches made from recycled plastic lids sit at the library and the therapeutic garden behind City Hall.
Marriages and educations were disrupted
The long-term emotional toll remains visible, too, according to Poteet. Many students left for college but came home after a year. Marriages fell apart. Kids turned to alcohol or drugs.
"The town is still very angry," said Mandy Jordan, whose son has survivor's guilt because he was late to school the day of the shooting. She and her family eventually moved away from Santa Fe. "It's in the air almost."
So far, though, no suicides linked to the shooting have occurred. "It's by the grace of God that has not happened," Poteet said.
Reagan Gaona, 19, credits a therapist for helping to save her life. Gaona was finishing her sophomore year when her boyfriend, Chris Stone, was killed at the school. It took three therapists to find the right fit. Now, on one side of Gaona's left forearm, she has a tattoo of a rose alongside the date of the shooting, May 18, 2018, and on the other side butterflies with semicolons as bodies, signifying mental health awareness and suicide prevention. It represents "that I am flying out of my depression and that I am growing my wings," she said. "That I am beautiful."
Gaona has regular panic attacks and anxiety-related muscle spasms. She attended college in Kansas for a year on a softball scholarship before moving back to the area. She feels better, but said she also "feels empty."
The shooting also derailed Laymance's plans. She had intended to go to college on a bowling scholarship to study interior design.
But PTSD has been a major obstacle. She suffers from short-term memory loss. When she went to orientation at a junior college, she felt unsafe hearing about Texas' open-carry policy on campus. She wants to go — and study psychology — but for now, she's working as an assistant manager at Sonic, a fast-food restaurant.
Van Ness said the person her daughter was that day died. Her daughter is working on trying to figure out who she is now.
"We're just as proud of her progress as we would've been with pretty much any decision she chose," Van Ness said, "as long as she continues to choose life."

Spirit-filled Ghanaian Australian songstress, Mary Asamoah debuts the gospel scenes with Pentecostal praise, 'Pegya Me'.
Being her first record after two (2) decades of preparation, the song, 'Pegya Me' has affirmed the singer’s readiness to accentuate the gospel through her music ministry. Her maturity in delivery, arrangement, and composition of the song, is evidence that the Ken Beat-produced song will upon its release cement Mary’s name in the hearts of many and become an inspiration in the gospel space.
With biblical inspiration, 'Pegya Me' will help believers build up their faith in these end days. It again assures individuals of God’s promise to elevate them if they truthfully and prayerfully indulge His presence.
Though a gospel tune, the entertainment part of the song can’t be ignored as it comes with a danceable groove suitable for all occasions.
The birth of Mary Asamoah’s Ministry will enormously go a long way to revamp the gospel music industry. Her energy in performance, soothing voice and composition abilities will always place her ahead of other brands.
As a spirited singer, Mary Asamoah is keen on liberating individuals with her songs. Though tedious, she believes as said in Numbers 23:19 that, God is not a man that lies, a scripture she takes inspiration from.

BAODING, China, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, GWM HAVAL DARGO was launched in Chile and Peru in South America, bringing a brand-new driving experience to local customers.
To let locals have a more real feeling of this car's power, the GWM held a long-distance test drive for HAVAL DARGO in Chile. The test drive models are all-wheel-drive edition, combining coziness of urban SUVs and driving performance of off-road SUVs. The test drive route starts from Puerto Montt and ends at Puerto Varas via the Alerce Andino National Park, covering different driving environments, such as off-road terrain and paved roads.
The multi-scenario experience activities attracted a large number of test drivers to participate enthusiastically, and many well-known media gave positive comments.
Chileautos, the top local automotive website, commented that "HAVAL has introduced an SUV with an off-road gene, HAVAL DARGO seeks to conquer the adventure-loving masses."
During the test, HAVAL DARGO performs well in the off-road section, which allows test drivers to experience great off-road fun. The model's off-road capability is enhanced by equipping an intelligent all-wheel-drive system and rear axle electronically-controlled differential locks. The all-wheel-drive system can intelligently adjust the power output of all four wheels and works with the differential locks to fully utilize the grip of each wheel, helping test drivers pass through complex environments smoothly.
One of the test drivers said, "the driving performance of HAVAL DARGO on mountainous roads far exceeded my expectations, and the vehicle's grip and chassis performance are both excellent. It can provide steady support when cornering and a comfortable driving experience."
Also, in the test drive on paved roads, the model provides impressively comfortable experience. The test drive vehicles feature a variety of intelligent devices, such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA). These configurations provide test drivers with a technology-supported comfort and convenience. For example, ACC can accurately identify the distance to the car in front and automatically control the speed, allowing the driver to enjoy a more relaxed and convenient way of driving.
HAVAL DARGO combines an off-road exterior with a technology-inspired interior, presenting test drivers with both the roughness of its appearance and exquisite details. In terms of the interior, the model has a spacious space, which is installed with shift knobs and a large center control screen, elevating the sense of refinement and comfortable atmosphere.
"Its unique styling, exquisite interior workmanship, and rich intelligent technology configurations are very eye-catching, making it outstanding among other products at the same class in the market", commented La Tercera, an authoritative Chilean media.
According to the latest sales data released by GWM, HAVAL DARGO achieved excellent sales results in July 2022, with global sales increasing by up to 45.36% year-on-year.
Soon, GWM will launch this car in other markets, including the Middle East countries, bringing a diversified driving experience to more customers.

Take a look at the beta version of dw.com. We're not done yet! Your opinion can help us make it better.
Langya henipavirus is a new zoonotic disease in shrews in China, which infected 35 people. Is it worth freaking out? If it starts spreading between people.
Since the start of the COVID pandemic people have been on high alert over viruses passed from animals to humans.
And it's for good reason: Zoonotic viruses are increasing. In early August, researchers at the Beijing Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology released a study in the New England Journal of Medicine identifying a new "henipavirus" which had been detected in 35 patients between 2018 and 2021.
Researchers say that the illness, which they have named "Langya henipavirus", was likely passed to humans via the shrew, a mouse-like mammal.
The shrew is what scientists call, in this case, the reservoir host — the main species carrying the virus.
Patients reported fever, fatigue and cough, as well as anorexia, myalgia and nausea.
In the the two-page study, the researchers say they observed no sign of human-to-human transmission, which means, that as far as we know now, the only people at real risk are those who have frequent and direct contact with shrews.
Almost all the patients infected were farmers in the Shandong and Henan provinces of China.
"The threat is not great unless you are in contact with the reservoir host, or with an intermediate animal host that is in touch with them," James Wood, head of the department of veterinary medicine at the University of Cambridge told DW.
"However, the virus is closely related to others that have a high case fatality in humans, and so general concern and care is warranted," said Wood.
Zoonotic diseases are very common — scientists estimate that over 60% of known infectious diseases in people can be spread from other animals, which cause 75% of new or emerging infectious diseases in humans.
Although many zoonotic diseases cause mild infections, some are more severe.
Most of the world's large-scale outbreaks, such as COVID, Ebola, MERS and the Zika virus, have been caused by the spread of zoonotic viruses.
But the noted lack of human-to-human transmission with Langya henipavirus means it may not pose that sort of risk.
Researchers tested close contacts of nine of the patients in China and all were negative for Langya henipavirus.
None of the individual cases in the recent study were connected in a way that would imply they had infected each other.
The study's authors noted, however, that nine patients is too small a sample to completely rule out the possibility of human transmission.
If person-to-person transmission were observed, it would be "very worrying," said Jimmy Whitworth, an international public health expert at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
That's because Langya henipavirus is genetically similar another henipavirus — the deadly Mojiang henipavirus which was discovered in 2012 in China.
After three miners in China's Yunnan province mysteriously died of pnemonia, researchers took anal swabs from bats, rats and shrews scampering around the mine to try and figure out what had happened.
They found that three of the rats tested positive for a virus genetically similar to others in the henipavirus family but different enough to be classified as its own virus — and they called it the Mojiang henipavirus after the county where the miners had lived.
Both the Mojiang and Langya viruses are part of the henipavirus family, which includes the deadly Nipah and Hendra viruses.
The Nipah virus, observed in wildlife in China, can be spread by humans. The Hendra virus has historically been observed in Australian wildlife and cannot be spread from person to person.
Langya is part of the same family as the Nipah virus, which is deadly and can be spread from person to person
Nikolaos Vasilakis, an emerging infectious disease expert at the University of Texas, said the lack of human-to-human transmission and the sporadic nature of the cases imply there is probably little threat to the general public.
However, said Vasilakis, the data set is very small and that more research and surveillance is needed.
"If the sample size increases, perhaps the outcomes that were reported here may not be representative. We don't know. It is very hard to assess a limited number of samples without knowing the true extent of the impact and presence in the human population," Vasilakis said.
Other experts in the study of zoonotic diseases, such as James Roth, the director of Iowa State University's center for food security and public health, agree.
"I'll follow this with interest because it's in the henipavirus family, which is a really scary family," said Roth. "They have a lot of potential in various species and it could jump into other species, including humans. So far, there's no evidence of that and hopefully it will stay that way."
When viruses infect different species, they adapt to them. Although the paper shows evidence that the virus was largely found in shrews, Langya was also found in some dogs and goats.
Roth said the concern now is that some of the adaptations gleaned from infection of other species could allow the virus to adapt to humans. He said it was possible that the virus could develop a mutation that would allow it to spread between humans.
This could happen if the virus changed its attachment protein, for example, which is the protein the virus uses to attach to a cell in a body to infect it.
"It's something that the scientists are going to have to keep their eye on. It's not certain it will do that, but it's a possibility," Roth said.
With the COVID pandemic and monkeypox circulating, you may be wondering how to interpret reports of this nature — how do you calculate your own personal risk? And if so many zoonotic viruses exist, what makes this one special?
What makes Langya henipavirus worth reporting is the fact that it is new.
"Anytime that any of these emerging viruses are detected in the human population, it's a matter of concern," said Vasilakis. "Not all of them will rise to pandemic proportions. But the initial detection should always be taken with adequate caution and warning."
And then scientists, health professionals, politicians and society we can all decide what steps to take next.

Ethiopia says completes third filling of mega-dam reservoir
The $4.2 billion dam has been at the centre of a regional dispute ever since Ethiopia broke ground on the project in 2011
Ethiopia has completed the third filling of its mega-dam reservoir on the Blue Nile, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said Friday, a development that could raise further tensions with downstream neighbours Egypt and Sudan.
The announcement comes a day after Ethiopia said it had launched electricity production from the second turbine at the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) which lies in the west of the country.
"Today as you see behind me, the third filling is complete," Abiy said in images shown on state television from the dam site.
"Compared to last year, we have reached 600 metres which is 25 metres higher than the previous filling," he said.
"The Nile is a gift of God given to us for Ethiopians to make use of it."
Ethiopia's Nile dam
The massive $4.2 billion dam, set to be the largest hydro-electric scheme in Africa, has been at the centre of a regional dispute ever since Ethiopia broke ground on the project in 2011.
There is still no agreement between Ethiopia and its downstream neighbours Egypt and Sudan about the GERD's operations despite talks held under the auspices of the African Union.
Cairo and Khartoum view it as a threat because of their dependence on Nile waters, while Ethiopia deems it essential for the electrification and development of Africa's second most populous nation.
Egypt, which relies on the Nile for about 97 percent of its irrigation and drinking water, last month protested to the UN Security Council about the third refilling.
The process of filling the GERD's vast reservoir, which has a total capacity of 74 billion cubic metres, began in 2020.
On Thursday, Abiy sought to reassure the two countries over the impact of dam and called for negotiations to reach an understanding.
"Any other option will not stop what we have started and will be futile," he said, insisting that the third filling was not causing any water shortages downstream.
Ethiopia first began generating electricity from the GERD in February. Currently, the two turbines, out of a total of 13, have a capacity to generate 750 megawatts of electricity.
It is ultimately expected to produce more than 5,000 megawatts, more than doubling Ethiopia's current output.
Project manager Kifle Horo said Thursday that overall the dam was now more than 83 percent complete and that the goal was for it to be finished in the next two and a half years.
The 145-metre (475-foot) high structure straddles the Blue Nile in the Benishangul-Gumuz region of western Ethiopia, near the border with Sudan.
The project was initiated under former prime minister Meles Zenawi, the Tigrayan leader who ruled Ethiopia for more than two decades until his death in 2012. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-11105485/Ethiopia-says-completes-filling-mega-dam-reservoir.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-12T10:39:10Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-11105485/Ethiopia-says-completes-filling-mega-dam-reservoir.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |

Sadr followers hold mass prayer outside Iraqi parliament in show of force
By Amina Ismail
BAGHDAD, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Thousands of followers of Moqtada al-Sadr held a mass prayer outside parliament in Baghdad on Friday in a show of support for the powerful Shi'ite cleric who has called for Iraq's judiciary to dissolve parliament by the end of next week.
Supporters of the populist leader have occupied the Iraqi parliament since July after a 10-month political stalemate that followed elections last October. Sadr was the biggest winner but failed to form a government free of Iranian-backed parties.
He withdrew his lawmakers from parliament and is now preventing the chamber from electing a new government and is demanding early elections.
On Wednesday he said the judiciary must dissolve parliament by the end of next week. If not "the revolutionaries will take another stand", he said without elaborating.
Outside parliament on Friday thousands of Sadr supporters gathered for prayer. Most were dressed in black to mark the Muslim month of Muharram and some wore white capes symbolising burial shrouds and their willingness to die.
"You will not break Iraq as long as Sadr is here," an imam told the crowd from a big red stage set up outside parliament. "There is no going back from this revolution and the people will not give up their demands."
In the intense summer heat, men picked their way through the worshippers and sprayed them with cold water. Some carried portraits of Sadr and his father, also a prominent cleric, as well as Iraqi flags.
Iran-aligned political groups were expected to hold their own demonstration later on Friday, the latest in a series of protest and counter-protest in recent days which have led to fears of unrest.
Sadr counts millions of Iraqis among his followers and has shown he can still stir up gatherings by hundreds of thousands of supporters, mostly working-class Shi'ite Muslims, if he needs to exert political pressure.
His father Mohammed Sadiq al-Sadr was killed more than 20 years ago for his outspoken opposition Saddam Hussein. When Saddam was topped in a U.S.-led invasion in 2003 Sadr began an insurgency against U.S. troops.
His new foes, however, are fellow Shi'ite leaders and parties mostly aligned with Iran, as Sadr has positioned himself as a nationalist who rejects foreign interference. Those groups, like Sadr, are backed by heavily armed militias, but do not hold the same sway as he does over masses of fanatical followers.

China's CATL to build battery plant in Hungary for carmakers including Mercedes
SHANGHAI, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Chinese battery maker CATL said on Friday it planned to invest 7.34 billion euros ($7.56 billion) in a giant new plant in Hungary that will supply major European automakers.
CATL said the move was aimed at meeting the needs of overseas markets and construction of the 100 GWh (gigawatt hours) plant in eastern Hungary's Debrecen city would start this year, after receiving approvals, and should last no more than 64 months.
The plant, which will be CATL's second in Europe, will produce battery cells and modules for European automakers including Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Stellantis and Volkswagen, the company said in a separate statement.
The expansion comes as European automakers are accelerating a transition to electric vehicles in their home markets, prompting surging demand for batteries from local suppliers.
Mercedes said in a separate statement it would be the first partner to be supplied with battery cells from CATL's Hungarian plant, with the largest initial order volume.

5 Malayalam movies showcasing various aspects of Independence movement and life in British India
From Mammootty’s Mathilukal to Mohanlal’s Kaalapani, here is a list of five Malayalam movies portraying different sides of India’s Independence movement and where to watch them

With India gearing up to celebrate the 75th year of Independence, TV channels and OTT platforms have started promoting the customary ‘Independence struggle’ movies. While there is no shortage of highly dramatised big-budget Bollywood or Tollywood productions, there is also a collection of more modest yet well-crafted Malayalam movies to choose from that present various aspects of life and struggle in British India.

Here is a list of five movies that you can either watch on YouTube or stream on OTT platforms:

Mathilukal (1990)
Set in Poojappura Central Prison in Thiruvananthapuram, Mathilukal (walls) is a semi-autobiographical story by the beloved writer Vaikom Muhammad Basheer portraying Basheer’s own life in prison post his sentencing for taking part in the Independence struggle. Mammootty lives as Basheer, capturing his innate charm and innocence, while the late KPAC Lalitha brilliantly voiced Basheer’s unseen love interest Narayani, an inmate of the women’s jail on the other side of a high wall separating the two prisons. Superbly directed by Adoor Gopalakrishnan, it is a laidback romantic movie with an in-form Mammootty, who won his first National Award for the performance.
Iyobinte Pusthakam (2014)
A Shakespearean family saga, partly adopted from the bard’s King Lear and inspired by Fydor Dostoevsky’s Brothers Karamazov, Iyobinte Pusthakam (The Book of Job) is one of the most stunningly shot Malayalam movies of all time. Filmmaker Amal Neerad, who is also the cinematographer of the film, sticks to the moto ‘every frame a painting’. The result is not just a visually gorgeous movie, but also a superbly narrated pre-independence tale set in the high-ranges of Munnar in Kerala.

It narrates the story of Iyob (a brilliant Lal) — who takes over the tea estate as well as the colonial demeanour of his British master Harrison, who leaves for England to never return — and his sons, Dmitry (Chemban Vinod Jose), Ivan (Jinu Joseph) and Aloshy (Fahadh Faasil, in one of his best performances). While Dmitry and Ivan take up after their cruel father, Aloshy follows his mother Annamma’s (Reenu Mathews) footsteps to be a kind, yet brave, soul. The movie portrays a still-relevant clash of ideals between Iyob’s inherited feudal-colonial dominance and Aloshy’s (hinted as one of the participants of the famous Naval revolt of 1946) rebellious outlook and streak of independence. Watch out for Jayasurya’s chilling turn as the ruthless timber trader Angoor Rawther and Padmapriya as the enigmatic Rahel.

Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja (2009)
Although a commercial attempt with all the failings of one, Kerala Varma Pazhassi Raja directed by Hariharan is one of the few movies that portrays the period in Kerala history when the British East India Company was gaining power in the Malabar region. Mammootty plays the titular prince of the erstwhile Kottayam kingdom of North Malabar, who waged years of guerilla warfare against the Company with the help of his own trusted lieutenants and the tribal communities of Wayanad, before getting ambushed at Mavila thodu, a stream near the present-day Kerala-Karnataka border.
However, the famous writer M.T. Vasudevan Nair, who scripted the movie, gave the prince a more cinematically heroic ending. Nevertheless, the movie is an engaging watch aided by the moving soundtrack of Ilaiyaraja and the brilliant sound design of Oscar-winner Resul Pookutty.
Agnisakshi (1999)
Winner of the National award for the Best Feature Film in Malayalam and nine Kerala State film awards, Shyamaprasad’s Agnisakshi (With fire as witness), is based on the eponymous novel by Lalithambika Antharjanam. Set in the thirties, when the movement for independence was gaining momentum, it was a period of social reformation and emancipation in Kerala. Helmed brilliantly by Shobhana (Devaki) and Rajit Kapoor (Unni), the film sensitively captures the angst and anguish of Devaki when her husband remains a willing captive of orthodoxy. It is about Devaki’s baptism by fire when she dares to aspire for a life that is not shackled to the domesticity and ritualistic life in a traditional, orthodox Namboodiri household.
Kaalapani (1996)
Priyadarsan’s film narrates the travails and torture of political prisoners in the notorious Cellular Jail in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands during the British Raj. The winner of several National and State film awards, Kaalapani had a multi-star cast led by Mohanlal, Prabhu, Tabu, Amrish Puri, Vineeth and so on. In 1916, Dr. Govardhan (Mohanlal) is deported to the Cellular Jail on a false case. His wife Parvathi (Tabu) keeps waiting in vain to hear from her huband. However, in 1965, his nephew Sethu (Vineeth), an army officer, comes across some old records and learns about what happened to Govardhan.
The mainstream film has been hyped with music, action and generous doses of fiction. Yet, it is an interesting watch.
