GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — Hundreds of Guatemalans set out from various points of the capital Thursday to protest alleged corruption by a deeply unpopular government, the high cost of living and attacks on freedom of expression.
University students, faculty and other employees marched from the campus of the capital’s only public university carrying signs demanding that the corrupt get out. “If there is no justice for the people, let there be no peace for the government!” read one.
President Alejandro Giammattei is under fire for his reappointment of Attorney General Consuelo Porras, who has been criticized by the United States government and others for blocking corruption investigations and instead pursuing the prosecutors and judges who used to carry them out.
Most recently, her office arrested award-winning journalist José Rubén Zamora whose El Periodico newspaper has a reputation for corruption investigations, including against Giammattei.
Marchers were headed for Guatemala City’s historic downtown and the seat of power.
Leaders of Guatemala’s Indigenous population joined Thursday’s march as well, warning that the rising cost of living in the country was harming the people.
Enrique Saquic, an Indigenous leader from Santa Lucia Utatlán, said “they are strangling us, our brothers, our people are those who are suffering all this high cost of living.”
He also noted that the co-optation of the justice system had left Guatemalans defenseless.
Daniel Pascual, leader of the Committee of Farmer Unity, said the cost of living “means an increase in hunger for the poor.”
“The corruption in the end is the stealing of money from the people and those who pay taxes are the poor and middle class, because the rich don’t contribute equitably to the country,” Pascual said.
The United States has sanctioned Porras and included her and others on a list of corrupt actors in Guatemala who pose a threat to democracy. Giammattei however has stood by her, reappointing her to a second four-year term earlier this year. | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/international/guatemalans-march-in-protest-of-corruption-cost-of-living/ | 2022-08-12T13:45:23Z | https://www.myarklamiss.com/news/international/guatemalans-march-in-protest-of-corruption-cost-of-living/ | false |
An armed man who died after attempting to breach the FBI Cincinnati Field Office and leading law enforcement officers on a chase that ended in a six-hour standoff in Clinton County has been identified.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol confirmed the suspect’s identity as 42-year-old Ricky W. Shiffer, of Columbus.
Law enforcement shot and killed Shiffer during a standoff that lasted more than six hours in Chester Twp. after he reportedly raised a firearm.
“The suspect then did raise a firearm toward law enforcement and shots were fired by law enforcement officers on the scene,” Ohio State Highway Patrol Lt. Nathan Dennis said during a media briefing Thursday. “At that point the suspect was deceased, he succumbed to his injures at the scene.”
Authorities now are investigating the motives of Shiffer, the case unfolding as the FBI warns agents to take extra precautions amid increased social media threats to its employees and facilities.
Officials reported a rise in threats against federal agents in the days following a search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.
Shiffer was believed to have been present at the U.S. Capitol on the day of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack, a law enforcement official briefed on the matter told the Associated Press. Federal investigators are also examining whether Shiffer had ties to far-right extremist groups, including the Proud Boys, the official said.
Around 9:15 a.m. Thursday, an armed man, later identified as Shiffer, attempted to breach the visitor screening facility at the Cincinnati FBI office, agency spokesman Todd Lindgren stated Thursday.
“Upon the activation of an alarm and a response by armed FBI special agents, the subject fled northbound onto Interstate 71,” the statement read.
A trooper in Warren County spotted a white Ford Crown Victoria driven by Shiffer at a rest area in Turtlecreek Twp. around 9:37 a.m., according to OSHP. Once the trooper got behind the vehicle, Shiffer fled, resulting in a chase.
The pursuit continue north on the highway before Shiffer exited at state Route 73 and turned onto Smith Road. The chase ended around 9:53 a.m. on Smith Road near Van Trees Road, according to OSHP.
“Once the vehicle came to a stop, gunfire was exchanged between officers on scene and the suspect,” Dennis said.
Shiffer took cover behind the car for hours near a cornfield. Around 3:42 p.m., he raised a firearm and law enforcement fire shots, according to OSHP.
Multiple federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, including the Dayton Bomb Squad, responded to Clinton County. Houses and businesses within a one-mile radius of the intersection of Smith and Center roads were locked down.
Interstate 71 and other area roads were closed in Chester Twp. for hours during the standoff.

I don´t want to lose him - Erik ten Hag expects Marcus Rashford to stay
Erik ten Hag expects Marcus Rashford to remain at Manchester United amid speculation linking the forward with Paris St Germain.
Reports in France suggest Rashford’s representatives have spoken to PSG about a switch to the Ligue 1 champions after a frustrating year at Old Trafford.
Rashford missed the start of last season with a shoulder injury before returning to score four goals in 25 Premier League appearances, losing his place in the England squad.
Erik ten Hag insisted Marcus Rashford remains firmly in his plans at Manchester United (Dave Thompson/PA)
But Ten Hag insisted the 24-year-old, who has one year left on his contract with a club option for a further 12 months, remained integral at Old Trafford.
“He’s really important,” Ten Hag said. “You have seen from the first day I’m here, I’m really happy with him, I don’t want to lose him.
“He’s definitely in our plans at Manchester United.”
The speculation around Rashford comes as United continue to struggle to bring in signings of their own.
The club are no closer with their primary target, Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, while a report on Friday said the club’s board are blocking Ten Hag’s pursuit of Chelsea’s Hakim Ziyech.
Manchester United are pursuing a deal for Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot (Adam Davy/PA)
A move for veteran forward Marko Arnautovic was aborted this week amid a fan backlash while the one player who does seem likely to join – France midfielder Adrien Rabiot – was criticised by former midfielder Lou Macari on Friday.
Speaking on in-house channel MUTV, Macari said: “I’d never really heard of him. Clubs spend millions of pounds scouting players across Europe, but nobody else has made a move for this fella. Why do you think this is? I have got a bad feeling about the guy.”
But, despite the mis-steps, Ten Hag insisted he and the club’s hierarchy are on the same page when it comes to transfer targets.
“I’m happy, I think we’re co-operating really well,” he said. “I cannot talk about players under contract at other clubs.”
Asked if he will have the squad he needs by the time the transfer window closes on September 1, Ten Hag added: “We have to. I am convinced we will have.”
Erik ten Hag would not say whether Cristiano Ronaldo would start at Brentford on Saturday (Ian Hodgson/PA)
But for now United remain short of attacking options with Anthony Martial out injured and Cristiano Ronaldo still being eased in after missing the club’s pre-season trip to Asia and Australia.
The Portugal forward came on as a 53rd minute substitute as Ten Hag’s tenure got off to a losing start in last Sunday’s 2-1 home defeat to Brighton.
Ten Hag said Ronaldo would be involved at Brentford on Saturday, but would not be drawn on whether he will start.
“He had a good training week,” he said. “He’s had two half-games and for the starting XI we will see tomorrow. It’s my decision, I keep it.”
That could see Christian Eriksen again deployed in a false-nine role as he returns to face the club he left to join United in the summer.
There were boos at Old Trafford last weekend as many of the shortcomings that plagued United last season were still on display under new management.
The pressure will therefore be on at the Gtech Community Stadium but Ten Hag said he was ready for it.
“I know there is always pressure, I have the experience, how it is,” he said. “I know we have to win every game, I know the fans, I know everyone expects Manchester United to win every game.
“We have to deal with that and all I can do is prepare the team as well as I can this weekend.” | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11106041/I-don-t-want-lose--Erik-ten-Hag-expects-Marcus-Rashford-stay.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-12T13:47:16Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-11106041/I-don-t-want-lose--Erik-ten-Hag-expects-Marcus-Rashford-stay.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true |
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.

Choose the right perch for your pet bird
From large parrots to tiny finches, pet birds come in a wide range of shapes, colors and sizes. These intelligent, active animals require safe, stable perches for play, exercise and comfort.
What to know before buying a bird perch
What your bird needs
Bird species have unique behaviors and preferences. Macaws, for example, use their powerful beaks to tear apart materials that less destructive birds such as canaries show no interest in. Budgies and finches, because of their small size, feel comfortable clinging to thin branches as opposed to the thick logs that larger birds like cockatoos need.
To keep your pet happy, research your bird and select perches that appeal to their natural inclinations and habitat.
Your bird’s size
Even large birds are fragile and easily injured. To prevent your pet from falling, choose perches strong enough to hold their weight without bending. Perches that span the entirety of the cage are the most stable.
The perch’s material
- Natural wood is an excellent choice for all birds. Free from dye and paint, this material gives parrots a safe way to exercise their beaks. Muted browns and grays won’t frighten skittish finches, and the surface of untreated wood provides a safe grip.
- Dyed wood is a good choice for birds that are playful and enjoy vibrant toys. As long as the wood is colored with harmless dye, these perches can be safely chewed.
- Mineral perches are great for birds that need supplemental calcium. Sometimes these perches contain flavoring or bee pollen to encourage chewing. These perches aren’t suitable for large parrots because they are quickly destroyed.
- Rope perches made from braided thread let you create a playground for your pet. However, these perches should be used with great caution. Rope can ensnare a bird’s claws and cause it to panic and hurt itself. A rope perch should be removed at the first sign of chewing, as ingesting too much thread can result in illness.
The perch’s mounting style
- Metal hardware. Most perches mount with a metal wing nut and a washer that screws into a threaded rod placed between the bars of your bird’s cage. This mounting style lets you easily remove the perch for cleaning.
- Slotted. Perches that span the entire enclosure usually have a slot cut into each end that the bars of the cage slide into. This mounting type needs a snug fit so your bird can’t move it. That tightness, however, also makes slotted perches challenging to remove and replace.
- Hanging. Some perches are hung from the top of the cage with a clip or clamp. Hanging perches give your pet a place to practice acrobatics. Be sure to buy one strong enough to support your bird’s weight.
- Plastic clamp. Perches made out of rope usually have threaded tips. These are sent through the bars of the cage where a plastic cap is screwed on to clamp the perch in place.
The perch’s color
Some birds are afraid of especially bright colors, while others take great interest in them. Bird perches are available in many hues, so consider your pet’s personality and security while you shop. If you are unsure of your bird’s preferences, unpainted wooden perches are a safe choice.
The perch’s texture
Your pet will feel stable and confident on a perch with an uneven, textured surface. Perches that are too smooth prevent birds from getting a good grip, which makes them feel uneasy and may result in a slip or fall. Avoid perches covered in sand or sandpaper, which cause irritation, pain and bleeding.
Heated perches
Most birds enjoy cuddling up to warm surfaces, and some perches have a heating element inside to keep them comfortable. Heated perches include a power cable that must be kept out of your pet’s reach so it can’t chew be chewed.
Diameter and variety
Because birds thrive on exploration and activity, accessorize your pet’s cage with a variety of perch types. Birds kept in cages that are filled with perches of the same shape and diameter can suffer from foot pain and deformity. Providing different perch sizes keeps your bird’s legs and feet healthy.

PHOENIX — Stay weather-aware and be prepared to get indoors as the threat of monsoon storms increases across Arizona today and this weekend.
Storms will develop across northern and eastern Arizona first throughout the afternoon, then storms could move into the Valley in time for the Friday evening drive.
Then more storms are possible through the weekend as high pressure sits to our northeast, helping pull monsoon moisture into our state.
Storms could produce strong winds, lots of lightning, heavy rain and flooding. The highest risk for flash flooding will continue to be near our wildfire burn scars.
Flood Watches remain in effect across northern Arizona through tonight.
Before the storms develop, air quality will continue to be an issue in the Valley. An Ozone High Pollution Advisory is now in effect through today. If you suffer for respiratory illnesses such as asthma or COPD, try to limit your time outside.
With all of this monsoon moisture in place, it will stay humid but temperatures will not be as hot.
Valley highs will only reach the low 100s, putting us just below the average of 105 degrees for this time of year.
Morning temperatures will cool into the low to mid 80s each day, so we will get some relief from the heat in the overnight hours.

SC issues notice to Roopesh on an appeal filed by Kerala
The State opposed High Court decision to discharge him in cases registered under UAPA and Section 124A (sedition)
The Supreme Court on Friday issued notice to Roopesh on an appeal filed by Kerala against a State High Court decision to discharge him in cases registered under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and Section 124A (sedition) of the Indian Penal Code.
A Bench led by Justice M.R. Shah sought a response from Roopesh, who was accused of being a Maoist leader.
The High Court, in March, had allowed Roopesh’s plea to quash the cases against him on the ground of irregularities in the order granting sanction for prosecution, including the violation of the seven-day deadline for sanction prescribed in the rules. The government had delayed the grant of sanction by six months, the High Court had observed.
The High Court had concluded that the sanction order of the UAPA was not brought out in time and there was no application of mind. It had said both factors had vitiated the cognisance taken by the Special Court of the cases.
Roopesh was accused of distributing pamphlets containing "seditious writings" in tribal colonies in Wayanad.

US STOCKS-Futures up as easing price pressures set Wall St for weekly gains
For a Reuters live blog on U.S., UK and European stock markets, click LIVE/ or type LIVE/ in a news window.
Futures up: Dow 0.32%, S&P 0.33%, Nasdaq 0.32%
Aug 12 (Reuters) - U.S. stock index futures rose on Friday, setting the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq for a fourth straight week of gains on easing bets of another super-sized interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve.
The S&P 500 .SPX is up 15% from its mid-June, with the latest boost coming from a slower-than-expected rise in consumer prices and a surprise drop in producer prices in July.
The benchmark index is within sight of a 50% retracement of its bear market loss and investors are watching the 4,231 level. The index last closed at 4,207.27.
While policymakers remain firm about a further tightening in monetary policy until inflation pressures fully abate, traders see a 63.5% chance of the Fed raising rates by 50 basis points next month instead of a 75 basis points hike. FEDWATCH
The Fed has raised its policy rate by 225 basis points since March as it battles to cool demand without sparking a sharp rise in layoffs.
High-growth and technology stocks such as Tesla TSLA.O and Nvidia NVDA.O rose 1% each in trading before the bell as investors flocked back to riskier assets.
Growth stocks .IGX have underpeformed their value counterparts .IVX so far this year on worries that rising Treasury yields due to aggressive rate hikes will pressure their valuation.
Investors bought $7.1 billion in equities in the week to Wednesday, according to a Bank of America note, with U.S. growth stocks recording their largest weekly inflow since December last year.
Meanwhile, banks .SPXBK looked set to extend their rally for sixth straight week, with JPMorgan Chase & Co JPM.N and Goldman Sachs GS.N gaining 0.4% each in premarket trading.
At 07:28 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis 1YMcv1 were up 106 points, or 0.32%, S&P 500 e-minis EScv1 were up 13.75 points, or 0.33%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis NQcv1 were up 42 points, or 0.32%.
Rivian Automotive Inc RIVN.O slipped 0.2% even as the electric-vehicle maker reported better-than-expected second quarter revenue.
The University of Michigan's preliminary survey of consumer sentiment for August is expected at 10:00 am ET.

BRISBANE, Australia, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Tracer DAO has announced that its DAO has voted on and successfully passed a historic proposal to merge with their core service provider, Mycelium. The consolidation will bring with it the launch of a new Perpetual Swaps derivative product, transition to a new token with greater utility, and reduced focus on DAO governance.
Tracer DAO is a decentralized finance protocol that released a new derivative primitive Perpetual Pools, hosted on leading Ethereum scaling solution Arbitrum in 2021. The product allows traders to trade without liquidations, or margin. The mechanism uses an innovative model to rebalance positions, protecting traders from liquidations, unlocking very long-term trading opportunities compared with traditional derivatives that optimize for short-term trades (<1 day). Over the last year, Perpetual Pools saw over $800M USD in trade volume.
As the core service provider to Tracer DAO since the beginning of 2021, Mycelium was responsible for developing the smart contracts for Tracer DAO's Perpetual Pools derivative product. Mycelium has been building blockchain infrastructure since 2019 with the establishment of one of the first and most performant Chainlink Oracle Nodes, Mycelium Node. Mycelium will bring its significant data infrastructure capabilities and expertise to enhance Tracer's existing derivative product and add bespoke price feeds to create new derivative markets exclusive to the platform.
As part of the transition, Mycelium has also announced that a market leading Perpetual Swaps product will launch this month on Arbitrum. The product will deliver extremely low trading fees, on average 50% cheaper than centralized competitors.
In addition, as an industry first on Arbitrum, Mycelium Perpetual Swaps will deploy markets for DeFi tokens CRV, BAL, and FXS for users to trade with. Blue chip DeFi tokens BTC, ETH, LINK, and UNI will also be on the trading platform, making Mycelium Perpetual Swaps the home of the largest range of trading markets within the Arbitrum ecosystem.
Besides the Rari/Fei and Gamma/Visor Finance mergers, there is little precedent for token and community transitions in the cryptocurrency industry. The Mycelium proposal entitles all TCR holders to change their token 1:1 to MYC, a token with greater utility. The move will also see a reduced focus on DAO governance with voting reduced to deployment of new markets. This new model will prioritize creating more value and streamlining product delivery for DeFi users.
The proposal to consolidate with Mycelium highlighted the added capability and resources Mycelium can provide to help realize Tracer's core vision: to enhance access and efficiency for everyday users via decentralised technology.
"The reality today is 99% of the population is not comfortable utilising the financial products available in DeFi. Creating wallets, storing seed phrases, understanding smart contracts, oracle risk and bridging assets is often a very cumbersome process and beyond what the average individual is willing to devote time and attention to mastering. To successfully realize the vision for widespread adoption, Mycelium believes a transition from Tracer to Mycelium, to act as an access point into DeFi, is a compelling proposal that would benefit existing and future adopters of decentralised finance," the proposal posted by CEO and Co-Founder of Mycelium Patrick McNab outlined.
Mycelium has been building blockchain infrastructure since 2019 with the establishment of one of the first Chainlink Oracle Nodes, Mycelium Node. The company specializes in blockchain data and derivatives. Mycelium built a new derivative primitive Perpetual Pools (known as Tracer) with zero liquidations, which launched on Arbitrum in September 2021, and will be launching their Perpetual Swaps product in August 2022.

In 2018, New London was designated a "site of memory" on the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization's slave route project, an effort launched in 1994 to "break the silence" around the history of slavery.
New London Landmarks held a ceremony in July to recognize the designation, installing a plaque at Amistad Pier. The site is considered the sixteenth stop on the New London Black Heritage Trail, which was unveiled last year.
The "Middle Passage to New London" plaque explains that in 1761, the Speedwell, a large schooner, arrived in New London from the west coast of Africa transporting 74 captive people. 21 people had not survived the harrowing voyage.
"The Speedwell docked in New London for several days before sailing to Middletown." New London joins Middletown and 51 other ports, or "sites of memory," in North America.
The plaque, and the designation itself, are meant to honor those who died during the Middle Passage, "and the enslaved people whose forced labor created much of New London's early wealth and led to disparities which still exist today."
This hour, we hear from local historians about their research, showing the Speedwell represents a small part of the city’s links to slavery. Plus, the Hempsted Houses represent several stops on the New London Black Heritage Trail. We'll hear from assistant site administrator Nicole Thomas.

- Tom Schuch: New London Historian; Researcher, New London Black Heritage Trail
- Lonnie Braxton II: Historian; Researcher, New London Black Heritage Trail

Militant's death brings Gaza toll to 49 from latest fighting
The total number of Palestinians killed in the latest flare-up rose to 49, including 17 children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.
Palestinian mourners held a funeral on Friday for a militant who succumbed to wounds suffered during three days of heavy fighting between Israel and Gaza militants last weekend.
His death brings the total number of Palestinians killed in the flare-up to 49, including 17 children, according to Gaza's Health Ministry.

The body of Anas Inshasi, 22, was wrapped in the black and white flag of the Army of Islam, a small, radical faction. Mourners said he was wounded by an Israeli airstrike while firing mortar shells toward Israel.
Israel launched a wave of airstrikes on Friday in the face of what it said was an imminent threat by the Islamic Jihad militant group after one of its leaders was detained by Israeli troops in the occupied West Bank earlier that week. Islamic Jihadis began firing rockets at Israel hours after the initial wave of strikes. The violence ended with an Egyptian-brokered cease-fire on Sunday.
In the three days, Israeli airstrikes killed two top Islamic Jihad commanders in Gaza, and the militant group said it lost a total of 12 militants. The Israeli military says the group fired some 1,100 rockets, around 200 of which fell short in Gaza. Most of the remainder were intercepted or fell in open areas.
Several Palestinian civilians were among those killed and wounded by Israeli airstrikes, including an 11-year-old girl who died of her wounds on Thursday. Two children are being treated in the intensive care unit of a Palestinian hospital in Jerusalem.
Up to 16 Palestinians may have been killed by rockets fired from their own side that fell short. No Israelis were killed or seriously wounded in the latest flare-up.
Israel and Hamas, which is larger and more powerful than Islamic Jihad, have fought four wars and countless smaller battles since Hamas seized power from rival Palestinian forces in 2007.
Hamas, which is opposed to Israel's existence, sat out the latest battle, apparently to preserve economic understandings with Israel that have eased a 15-year blockade imposed on the territory by Israel and Egypt.

From gasoline to groceries, Americans have paid more money for the same items in 2022 due to rising inflation.
But is it possible that inflation in the U.S. is easing? That’s what President Joe Biden claimed in a tweet on Aug. 10, writing that the inflation rate was 0% in July 2022.
Some people on social media have disputed that claim, writing that the inflation rate was 8.5% in July 2022.
Several VERIFY readers asked the team to fact-check the claim that inflation fell to 0% in July.
THE QUESTION
Did inflation fall to 0% in July 2022?
THE SOURCES
THE ANSWER
Yes, there was 0% inflation in July 2022, but inflation is still at 8.5% annually.
WHAT WE FOUND
The Consumer Price Index (CPI), calculated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), is the most widely used measure of inflation. It is designed to measure price changes on a “basket” of many everyday goods and services.
To calculate the inflation rate, the BLS compares the index’s value over one period in time to another, such as month to month (the monthly rate of inflation) or year to year (the annual rate of inflation), the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland explains.
The CPI was unchanged from the end of June to the end of July 2022, according to a BLS report published on Aug. 10.
That means there was 0% inflation for the month of July, which was primarily due to falling gas prices. According to the BLS, the gasoline price index fell 7.7% in July and “offset increases in the food and shelter indexes, resulting in the [CPI] being unchanged over the month.”
GasBuddy reported on Aug. 9 that the national average price of gas fell below the $4 mark for the first time since early March 2022.
“Gas prices have declined over $1 per gallon since peaking at $5.03 on June 14, fueled by falling oil prices over the last month. Americans today will spend nearly $400 million less on gasoline than they did in mid-June,” GasBuddy wrote in a press release.
But Biden’s claim about 0% inflation needs context. Inflation is still sitting at an annual rate of 8.5% when comparing prices in July 2021 to July 2022 – remaining close to a 40-year high. This is well above the Federal Reserve’s goal of a 2% annual inflation rate.
In June, the annual inflation rate was 9.1%, so the 8.5% annual rate for July does represent a slight decrease.
Core inflation, which measures the change in the cost of goods and services while excluding volatile food and energy prices, rose 0.3% in July, though this is a smaller increase than in the previous three months, the BLS said. The core inflation rate is up 5.9% annually.
Food continued to grow more expensive in July, with the price index increasing 1.1% over the month. The cost of medical care, vehicle insurance, furniture, new vehicles and recreation also rose in July, according to the BLS report.
On the other hand, the cost of airfare, used cars and trucks, and clothing fell in July.
In its monthly economic review for August 2022, the National Retail Federation (NRF) wrote that “many of the forces contributing to inflation will not be unwound soon,” but there are some signs of “potential relief” as the prices for oil and other commodities decline.
“Currently, inflation is well above the Federal Reserve’s comfort zone, and shorter-term inflation expectations are high although longer-term expectations appear better anchored,” NRF said. “Moreover, inflation forecasts continue to be highly uncertain and supply constraints will factor into the second half of the year.”
NRF expects that the Consumer Price Index will average 6.2% for all of 2022. | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/verify/economy-verify/fact-check-zero-percent-inflation-july-annual-rate-still-high/536-f1bcce48-0078-4681-b2b9-e1f8400e2004 | 2022-08-12T14:01:39Z | https://www.kgw.com/article/news/verify/economy-verify/fact-check-zero-percent-inflation-july-annual-rate-still-high/536-f1bcce48-0078-4681-b2b9-e1f8400e2004 | true |

1. Covid-19
The CDC is no longer recommending restrictive measures such as quarantines and social distancing to prevent the spread of Covid-19. In new guidelines released Thursday, the agency announced it is no longer necessary to stay at least 6 feet away from others to reduce the risk of exposure — a shift from the guidance that had been in place since the early days of the pandemic. Now, more than two years later, nearly the entire US population has at least some immunity through vaccination, previous infection, or, in some cases, both. However, the latest guidance does keep some measures the same. It says people who test positive should stay home for at least five days and wear a mask around others for 10 days. It also continues to recommend that people wear masks indoors in about half of the country.
2. Trump
Following the FBI search of former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate on Monday, Attorney General Merrick Garland said that the Justice Department has requested that the warrant and property receipt from the search be unsealed. Trump said in an online post on Thursday that he would “not oppose the release of documents,” adding, “I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents.” The FBI executed a search warrant at the Palm Beach, Florida, resort as part of an investigation into the handling of presidential documents, including classified documents, that may have been brought there. The Washington Post, citing people familiar with the investigation, also reported on Thursday that classified documents related to nuclear weapons were among the items that FBI agents sought when searching the former President’s residence.
3. Ukraine
An “alarming” situation is unfolding at a Russian-occupied nuclear power plant in southeastern Ukraine, according to the head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog. Parts of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant — the largest nuclear plant in Europe — have been knocked out due to recent attacks, risking an “unacceptable” potential radiation leak, according to Mariano Grossi, the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). “IAEA experts believe that there is no immediate threat to nuclear safety,” but “that could change at any moment,” Grossi said. Russia and Ukraine have so far been unwilling to agree to an IAEA inspection of the plant and have accused each other of shelling the facility. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for the complete withdrawal of Russians from the territory, which he said is putting all of Europe in danger.
4. Student loans
With less than three weeks to go until the federal student loan repayment pause expires, millions of borrowers are waiting to hear whether President Joe Biden will extend the current payment moratorium or possibly forgive any of their debts. Borrower balances have effectively been frozen since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, with no payments required on most federal student loans since March 2020. Democratic lawmakers and advocates have been calling on Biden to broadly cancel up to $50,000 in student loan debt per borrower, but the President has said he would not consider that number. Along with potentially extending the pause, the White House has suggested Biden is considering canceling $10,000 per borrower, excluding those who earn more than $125,000 a year. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Biden will have something to announce “before August 31.”
5. Anne Heche
Actress Anne Heche, who remains hospitalized after crashing her vehicle into a Los Angeles residence last week, is “not expected to survive,” according to a statement from her family and friends shared with CNN by a representative. “Unfortunately, due to her accident, Anne Heche suffered a severe anoxic brain injury and remains in a coma, in critical condition. She is not expected to survive,” the statement read. Anoxic brain injury occurs when the brain is deprived of oxygen. Last Friday, Heche was in a car that was traveling at a high speed when it ran off the road and collided with a residence that became engulfed in flames, officials said. Heche rose to fame on the soap opera “Another World,” where she played the dual role of twins Vicky Hudson and Marley Love from 1987 to 1991. She earned a Daytime Emmy Award for her performance on the show.

This year's top five ranking attributed to strong operating metrics, revenue growth, and expanded global user base
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Miro, the online platform accelerating innovation through visual collaboration, has been named to the Forbes 2022 Cloud 100, the definitive ranking of the top 100 private cloud companies in the world, published by Forbes in partnership with Bessemer Venture Partners and Salesforce Ventures. The market leader in visual collaboration is ranked #4, climbing the Forbes Cloud 100 list from #57 in 2020 and #36 in 2021.
For the seventh straight year, the Cloud 100 reviews submissions from hundreds of cloud startups and private companies each year. The Cloud 100 evaluation process involved ranking companies across four factors: market leadership (35%), estimated valuation (30%), operating metrics (20%), and people & culture (15%). For market leadership, the Cloud 100 enlists the help of a judging panel of public cloud company CEOs who assist in evaluating and ranking their private company peers.
"We're deeply honored to be named as one of the world's leading cloud companies for the third year in a row, among so many others who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible in their industry," said Grisha Pavlotsky, Chief Operating Officer at Miro. "For teams around the world, Miro's biggest value is its ability to be a central, singular place where all work comes together and big things happen. This recognition underscores our ability to innovate quickly and deliver a visual collaboration platform that's at the core of the new technology stack for the future of work."
As distributed work models increasingly become the norm, and teams grapple with how to balance new ways of working, companies must consider how to optimize for effective synchronous and asynchronous collaboration. Miro's robust visual collaboration platform is designed to support greater connectedness among teams and increased productivity on every project and workflow. Miro is used by 99% of the Fortune 100 companies and now offers more than 120 apps and integrations, including Miro for Google Meet and a next-gen Developer Platform to make Miro an integral part of the new, digital-first approach to getting work done.
"The companies of the Cloud 100 list represent the best and brightest private companies in this fast-growing sector," said Alex Konrad, senior editor at Forbes. "Every year, it gets more difficult to make this list — meaning even more elite company for those who do. Congratulations to each of the 2022 Cloud 100 honorees."
"The public markets may be in turmoil, but the private valuations of the Cloud 100 continue to rise. All of the 2022 Cloud 100 honorees, again, have reached the $1 billion valuation milestone, and the average Cloud 100 valuation has skyrocketed to $7.4 billion," said Mary D'Onofrio, partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. "Despite the market correction in 2022, our confidence in the cloud economy continues to grow—today over 70% of the 2022 Cloud 100 Honorees have reached or exceeded $100 million in annual recurring revenue making them cloud Centaurs. An additional 10% of the list is expected to hit this milestone by the end of the year, furthering our conviction that this years' honorees truly represent the best cloud companies globally."
"Great companies are born out of all environments, and it's exciting to see the continued momentum in the cloud sector," said Alex Kayyal, Managing Partner, Salesforce Ventures. "The companies on this list have gone through a rigorous selection process, and join an esteemed alumni list of Cloud 100 companies. As the need for digital transformation continues to drive innovation and efficiencies across industries, we can look to these companies as the absolute best in cloud computing."

If you take stock of all the high-tech gadgets around you right now, including the device you're currently using to read this article, you'll find that they all need semiconductor chips to function.
And most of these chips are not made in the U.S.
The Biden administration wants to change that, with the president signing the CHIPS and Science Act into law this week. It will allocate more than $50 billion to bring semiconductor chip manufacturing to the U.S. and away from its current production hub in East Asia.
Sourabh Gupta is a senior Asia-Pacific policy specialist at the Institute for China-America Studies and joined All Things Considered to discuss what this means for our gadgets, and what it could predict about the future of American tech manufacturing.
This interview has been edited for length and clarity
Interview Highlights
On what would happen if the U.S. lost access to its semiconductor chip imports from Asia
Life would come to a standstill if we don't have the chips, which is like oil — it is the resource that runs our electronics, and effectively that runs our life in many ways. A car has hundreds of chips in it. And we are not talking of the most sophisticated cars. We're not talking electric vehicles. We are talking your average car.
We're talking just television sets — something as straightforward as that. The gamer kids are not going to have much of their entertainment if the chips don't come. What the chips also do is provide the foundation for a lot of innovation, next-generation innovation — what has been dubbed as the fourth industrial revolution.
On whether the CHIPS Act goes far enough to prevent that potential slowdown
It is sufficient. There is a lot of money, and a lot of it is frontloaded — literally $19 billion frontloaded in the next 12 months to support chip manufacturing in the U.S. But we don't need to have all chips or a very significant number of chips made in the U.S.
We just need a certain amount of chips which will not hold the U.S. in a situation of blackmail or in a situation of peril if there is a war in East Asia, or if there are others just general supply chain snafus.
On whether this law effectively shore up the U.S.'s position and curbs China's influence in chip manufacturing
It absolutely does [shore up the U.S.'s position], but it doesn't necessarily curb China's influence. It forces China to be able to come up with greater indigenous innovation to catch up with the U.S. - and its East Asian peers - in terms of chip manufacturing.
East Asian manufacturers are conflicted with regard to the CHIPS Act and having certain disciplines imposed on them in terms of expanding capacity in China. But that having been said, they value the importance of the United States. And so the way they are trying to proceed going forward is asking the U.S. federal government to allow them to continue to produce legacy chips in China — chips which are not cutting-edge -— while they will produce the cutting-edge chips in their home countries and in America so that that technology which goes into cutting-edge chips does not bleed into China and enhance China's productive capabilities in any way.

Belgian strikers in Milan in focus as Serie A season starts
By DANIELLA MATAR
AP Sports Writer
MILAN (AP) — Two Belgian strikers are likely to be in focus when the Italian league season starts Saturday. Returning Inter Milan forward Romelu Lukaku has already shown what he can do in Serie A but compatriot Charles De Ketelaere is something of an unknown quantity for city rival AC Milan. De Ketelaere scored a hat trick in his first start in a friendly for Milan and the 21-year-old will be looking to hit the ground running when the Rossoneri kick off their title defense against Udinese on Saturday. Inter starts at Lecce which is the same team Lukaku made his debut against three years ago. José Mourinho’s Roma kicks off its season on Sunday at Salernitana and Juventus and Napoli play on Monday. | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/08/12/belgian-strikers-in-milan-in-focus-as-serie-a-season-starts/ | 2022-08-12T14:05:51Z | https://kion546.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/08/12/belgian-strikers-in-milan-in-focus-as-serie-a-season-starts/ | true |

In the 75 years since independence, grassroots interventions, driven by the state, market and civil society, have influenced the nature, shape and scope of social action. In Anchoring Change: Seventy-Five Years of Grassroots Intervention That Made a Difference , the editors, Vikram Singh Mehta, Neelima Khetan and Jayapadma RV, present 24 stories of successful grassroots intervention since Independence which offer learnings for the creation of a development framework for the next 75 years. In his introduction, Mehta writes that the Midday Meal scheme in schools in Tamil Nadu, is arguably the best known government intervention, and among the first to link food and nutrition to education and development. An excerpt:
Mahendran (68) of Singampatti in Tirunelveli district, a father of two sons, smiled as he ended the call with his son, a software engineer in the U.S. His son had been blessed with a child and he looked forward to travelling to their home to celebrate the arrival of the newborn. His younger son had just graduated from a reputed college. Mahendran himself had recently retired as a senior officer in the service of the government of Tamil Nadu and was happy that things had indeed turned out well. As he counted his blessings, his thoughts drifted to his childhood and his village where it had all begun almost six decades ago.
Born into the Puthirai Vannan community, considered ‘untouchable’, he remembered the many days that he had gone to sleep on an empty stomach. His family’s traditional occupation was washing the clothes of Dalit families in the village. For this back-breaking work from dawn to dusk, they were often paid in kind with food grains at harvest time. In the years when the rains failed and the harvest was meagre, it would be difficult to even have two square meals a day. With his survival at stake and even two meals a day being uncertain, school seemed a distant dream for him. Much as he longed to go to the village school, his absence from work would mean going hungry for the day.
In 1956, poverty was rampant in India, with up to 73 per cent of the population in rural areas living below the poverty line. The total number of children enrolled in schools was an abysmal 5.6 lakhs in the age group of 11–14 years and 1.81 lakhs for those aged 14–16 years for the entire State. The Chief Minister, K. Kamaraj, was acutely aware of how poverty and hunger were conspiring to keep children out of school. He sought to address the issue by introducing a hugely ambitious and transformational scheme of serving an afternoon meal in all schools of Tamil Nadu. Kamaraj overcame opposition from many quarters to ensure that the government started providing hot meals to students in schools. For many impoverished children, it often became the only meal of the day. School enrolments saw a dramatic increase.
Life-changing policy
Among the new students was Mahendran, who ran barefoot to the elementary school in his village early every morning. The noon meal at school not only satiated him but also gave him a respite from his strenuous work. The meal made it possible for Mahendran to break the shackles of hunger, go to school, study and reach for the skies. It was his ticket to freedom from hunger, illiteracy and deprivation, and would go on to change his life forever. He went on to become the first postgraduate from his community. Mahendran says, ‘If the school had not served me a hot meal, there was no way I would have gone to school. I would have continued to wash clothes for a living.’
The noon meal programme of the Tamil Nadu government is still in force and is making a difference to lakhs of poor students who would otherwise have found it difficult to attend school. Like Mahendran, generations have benefitted immensely from this scheme, and it has changed the destiny of many from a life of stark poverty and hunger to dignity, self-respect and a life-changing education. The noon-meal scheme not only eradicated hunger from classrooms but also substantially improved student enrolment, retention and education levels in Tamil Nadu, laying the foundations for the State to emerge as an economic powerhouse.
Nationwide application
The Puratchi Thalaivar MGR Nutritious Meal Programme, as it has come to be known, has emerged as a pioneering example for the rest of India. Today, it stands tall as Tamil Nadu’s contribution to the pantheon of developmental interventions that have transformed India. After the huge popularity and stupendous success of the programme, the Central Government announced the ‘National Programme of Nutritional Support to Primary Education’ on Independence Day in 1995. Initially implemented in 2,408 blocks around the country, within two years the scheme was in force in all blocks in all States and Union Territories. In 2007, upper primary children were added to the programme.
Initially, the States were reluctant to participate in the scheme; but after the Supreme Court issued a directive to all States to provide cooked midday meals in primary schools, the programme’s coverage increased manifold between 1999 and 2004. Now, the programme is being implemented across the country by the Government of India as the Pradhan Mantri Poshan Shakti Nirman scheme with the twin objectives of ensuring good health of students and securing better educational outcomes.
The initiative started in just one school of Madras in 1920 has now not only continued for more than a hundred years but has also become one of the largest programmes of its kind in the world. The journey of a hundred years is a story interspersed with stellar milestones, each of which added substantial value to the programme and its sustainability.

Ryan Jones, University of Oregon
(THE CONVERSATION) Every year, an estimated 13 million people go whale-watching around the world, marveling at the sight of the largest animals ever to inhabit Earth. It’s a dramatic reversal from a century ago, when few people ever saw a living whale. The creatures are still recovering from massive industrial-scale hunting that nearly wiped out several species in the 20th century.
The history of whaling shows how humans have wreaked careless havoc on the ocean, but also how they can change course. In my new book, “Red Leviathan: The Secret History of Soviet Whaling,” I describe how the Soviet Union was central both to this deadly industry and to scientific research that helps us understand whales’ recovery.
From wood to steel and bad to worse
At the start of the 20th century, it seemed whales might gain a reprieve after years of hunting. The era of whaling from sail boats, depicted in such memorable detail by Herman Melville in “Moby-Dick,” had nearly wiped out slow, fat species like right and bowhead whales, and also wreaked substantial harm to sperm whales.
In the 1800s, U.S. whalers sailed without restraint or hindrance into every corner of the world’s oceans, including waters around Russia’s Siberian empire. There, tsarist officials watched in helpless rage as Americans slaughtered whales upon which many of the region’s Indigenous peoples relied.
In the 1870s, petroleum began to replace whale oil as a fuel. With few catchable whales remaining, the industry appeared to be near its end. But whalers found new markets. Through hydrogenation – a chemical process that can be used to turn liquid oils into solid or semi-solid fats – manufacturers were able to transform smelly whale products into odorless margarine for human consumption.
Around the same time, Norwegians invented the explosive harpoon, which killed whales more efficiently than hand-thrown versions, and the stern slipway, which allowed whale carcasses to be processed on board ships. Along with diesel engines and steel hulls, these technologies enabled whalers to target previously untouched species in once-inaccesible locations, such as the Antarctic.
Late to the party, late to leave
As mechanized whaling gained force in the 1920s and ‘30s, Norwegian, British and Japanese whalers cut through populations of blue, fin and humpback whales on a scale that is hard to believe today. In what scientists once thought was the peak catch year, 1937, over 63,000 large whales were killed and processed.
World War II briefly suspended this slaughter, which many governments were starting to realize threatened the survival of some whale species. In 1946, whalers, statesmen and scientists created the International Whaling Commission in hopes of heading off a return to disastrous prewar levels of whaling.
That same year, the USSR joined the IWC and took control over a former Nazi whaleship, which it renamed the Slava, or Glory. No one suspected the central role the country would play in the most disastrous two decades of whales’ long history on Earth.
The madness of modern whaling
Despite the IWC’s best intentions, postwar catches rose quickly. By the mid-1950s, even longtime whalers had to admit that big whales were becoming too scarce for their industries to be profitable. All nations except Japan began to ponder the end of whaling.
It thus came as a shock when the Soviet Union announced in 1956 that it planned to build seven new “floating factories” – gigantic industrial processing ships, accompanied by fleets of smaller “catcher” boats that would scour the oceans for whales.
Soviet whale scientists were as stunned as observers elsewhere. These biologists and oceanographers had been watching the decline from ships and from their labs in the Fisheries Ministry and Academy of Sciences since the 1930s.
Instead of supporting the fleet expansion, they argued forcefully that whales stood on the brink of extinction, and whaling should decrease radically, not expand. This was how the Soviet planned economy was meant to work: Science, not profit, would help guide economic decisions, letting planners know how much could be extracted from the natural world and when to stop.
But Soviet officials were determined to finally catch whales on a large scale, as Western nations had done for so long. The Fisheries Ministry ignored its scientists’ recommendations and built five of the seven planned floating factories over the next decade.
By the 1960s, the Soviet Union was the world’s largest whaling nation. Whalers such as the legendary captain Aleksei Solyanik were celebrated as superstars, comparable to astronauts like Yuri Gagarin.
But the scientists had been right: Many whales species were nearly gone. To produce large catches, Solyanik and other captains decided to ignore international quotas and secretly targeted the most endangered whale species, including blue, humpback and fin whales in the Antarctic and the North Pacific.
In 1961, for example, Soviet fleets killed 9,619 rare humpbacks south of New Zealand, while reporting only 302 to the IWC. This was only a portion of their global catch, which the Soviet Union continued to underreport for years. Driven by Moscow’s demands for ever-increasing production, whalers worked at reckless speed, wasting much of the fat and meat taken from the dead whales. It is doubtful the industry was ever profitable.
Thanks to Soviet scientists who preserved some records of these illegal kills and to subsequent work by other scholars, it now appears likely that the Soviet Union killed around 550,000 whales after World War II while reporting only 360,000. We now know that global whale harvesting peaked in 1964, not 1937, with a total of 91,783 whales killed – about 40% by Soviet whalers.
Not quite extinct
By the 1970s, populations of large whales had dwindled to insignificance. Many observers were sure extinction was inevitable. But momentum for whale conservation was growing.
The U.S. listed blue, fin, sei, sperm and humpback whales under the law that preceded the Endangered Species Act in 1970, then continued to protect them under that law, enacted in 1973. Whales also received protection in U.S. waters under the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act.
Thanks to pressure from environmentalists and its own citizens, the Soviet Union ended its whaling industry in 1987. The country accepted a global moratorium on commercial whaling, which remains in force today with only three holdouts: Norway, Iceland and Japan.
Whale numbers almost immediately began to rebound. Humpback whales were especially successful, but populations of bowhead, fin and sperm whales also expanded in the near absence of commercial whaling. However, some species, notably North Atlantic right whales, remain endangered or critically endangered.
In one of the greatest conservation successes, Eastern Pacific gray whales are today estimated to have returned to pre-exploitation abundance, and may actually be reaching the limits of what their primary foraging grounds in the Bering Sea can support. And in 2018 and 2019, German scientists and researchers from the BBC observed and filmed fin whales feeding around the Antarctic peninsula in vast pods that recalled the way the ocean must have looked before the 20th century.
Thanks to the Russian scientists who opposed their country’s disastrous whaling expansion and kept its records, we know how many whales were lost in the 20th century. That information can also help scientists, governments and conservationists judge whales’ remarkable but far from complete recovery.

WASHINGTON — The biggest investment ever in the U.S. to fight climate change. A hard-fought cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for Medicare recipients. A new corporate minimum tax to ensure big businesses pay their share.
And billions left over 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.
Not as robust as Biden's initial ideas to rebuild America's public infrastructure and family support systems, the compromise of health care, climate change and deficit-reduction strategies is also a stunning election year turnaround, a smaller but not unsubstantial product brought back to political life after having collapsed last year.
Democrats alone support the package, with all Republicans expected to vote against it. Republicans deride the 730-page bill as big government overreach and point particular criticism at its $80 billion investment in the IRS to hire new employees and go after tax scofflaws.
Voters will be left to sort it out in the November elections, when control of Congress will be decided.
Here's what's in the estimated $740 billion package — made up of $440 billion in new spending and $300 billion toward easing deficits— that is up for final approval Friday in the House.
LOWER PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS
Launching a long-sought goal, the bill would allow the Medicare program to negotiate some prescription drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, saving the federal government some $288 billion over the 10-year budget window.
The result is expected to lower costs for older adults on medications, including a $2,000 out-of-pocket cap for older adults buying prescriptions from pharmacies.
The revenue raised would also be used to provide free vaccinations for seniors, who now are among the few not guaranteed free access, according to a summary document.
Seniors would also have insulin prices capped at $35 a month.
HELP PAYING FOR HEALTH INSURANCE
The bill would extend the subsidies provided during the COVID-19 pandemic to help some Americans who buy health insurance on their own.
Under earlier pandemic relief, the extra help was set to expire this year. But the bill would allow the assistance to keep going for three more years, lowering insurance premiums for some 13 million people who are purchasing their own health care policies through the Affordable Care Act.
BIGGEST U.S. INVESTMENT ‘BY FAR’ IN CLIMATE CHANGE
The bill would infuse nearly $375 billion over the decade in climate change-fighting strategies that Democrats believe could put the country on a path to cut greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030, and “would represent the single biggest climate investment in U.S. history, by far.”
For consumers, that means tax rebates to buy electric vehicles — $4,000 for used vehicle purchase and up to $7,500 for new ones, eligible to households with incomes of $300,000 or less for couples, or single people with income of $150,000 or less.
Not all electric vehicles will fully qualify for the tax credits, thanks to requirements that component parts be manufactured and assembled in the U.S. And pricier cars costing more than $55,000 and SUVs and trucks priced above $80,000 are excluded.
There's also tax breaks for consumers to go green. One is a 10-year consumer tax credit for renewable energy investments in wind and solar.
For businesses, the bill has $60 billion for a clean energy manufacturing tax credit and $30 billion for a production tax credit for wind and solar, seen as ways to boost and support the industries that can help curb the country's dependence on fossil fuels.
The bill also gives tax credits for nuclear power and carbon capture technology that oil companies such as Exxon Mobil have invested millions of dollars to advance.
The bill would impose a new fee on excess methane emissions from oil and gas drilling while giving fossil fuel companies access to more leases on federal lands and waters.
A late addition pushed by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and other Democrats in Arizona, Nevada and Colorado would designate $4 billion to combat a mega-drought in the West, including conservation efforts in the Colorado River Basin, which nearly 40 million Americans rely on for drinking water.
HOW TO PAY FOR ALL OF THIS?
One of the biggest revenue-raisers in the bill is a new 15% minimum tax on corporations that earn more than $1 billion in annual profits.
It's a way to clamp down on some 200 U.S. companies that avoid paying the standard 21% corporate tax rate, including some that end up paying no taxes at all.
The new corporate minimum tax would kick in after the 2022 tax year and raise more than $258 billion over the decade.
There will also be a new 1% excise tax imposed on stock buybacks, raising some $74 billion over the decade.
Savings from allowing Medicare’s negotiations with the drug companies is expected to bring in $288 billion over 10 years, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.
The bill sticks with Biden’s original pledge not to raise taxes on families or businesses making less than $400,000 a year.
Yet money is also raised by boosting the IRS to go after tax cheats. The bill proposes an $80 billion investment in taxpayer services, enforcement and modernization, which is projected to raise $203 billion in new revenue — a net gain of $124 billion over the decade.
EXTRA MONEY TO PAY DOWN DEFICITS
With some $740 billion in new revenue and around $440 billion in new investments, the bill promises to put the difference of about $300 billion toward deficit reduction.
Federal deficits spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic when federal spending soared and tax revenues fell as the nation's economy churned through shutdowns, closed offices and other massive changes.
The nation has seen deficits rise and fall in recent years. But overall federal budgeting is on an unsustainable path, according to the Congressional Budget Office, which recently put out a new report on long-term projections.
WHAT'S LEFT BEHIND?
The package, nowhere near the sweeping Build Back Better program Biden once envisioned, remains a sizable undertaking and, along with COVID-19 relief and the GOP 2017 tax cuts, is among the more substantial bills from Congress in years.
While Congress did pass and Biden signed into law a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill for highways, broadband and other investments that was part of the White House's initial vision, the Democrats' other big priorities have slipped away.
Gone, for now, are are plans for free pre-kindergarten and community college, as well as the nation's first paid family leave program that would have provided up to $4,000 a month for births, deaths and other pivotal needs. Also allowed to expire is the enhanced child care credit that was providing $300 a month during the pandemic.

Democrats may be taking a victory lap, but let’s be straight, the climate provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) pose no real threat to the U.S. oil and gas industry.
After the concessions made to West Virginia Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin to secure his support, the IRA had enough protections for the industry to allow the legislation to move forward without hardline opposition from the oil sector.
The industry has Sen. Manchin, whose state of West Virginia has long relied on fossil fuels, to thank for this.
For much of the sector, the $369 billion in climate provisions in the IRA could serve as a boon, ensuring a manageable energy transition rather than an abrupt, expensive shift away from fossil fuels too fast.
An abrupt transition could further hammer the fragile economy, prompting energy prices to spike even higher in a manner that parts of the world – notably Europe – are already experiencing.
But the IRA should allow domestic oil and gas companies to transition at a reasonable pace, providing space for continued investment in oil and natural gas supply while encouraging the industry to advance decarbonization plans over time. It takes a “more now, less tomorrow” approach to oil and gas – a policy that is gaining more traction around the world in the aftermath of the Ukraine crisis.
That is evident in the fact that the IRA falls short of the Biden administration’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 – the bill would achieve just a 40% cut.
So, who are the winners here?
Big Oil, the major oil companies like ExxonMobil and Chevron, did not make a big stink about the IRA, and that speaks volumes.
That’s because components of the legislation will subsidize the major oil companies’ decarbonization, or “net-zero” emissions programs, by pumping money into nascent technologies like carbon capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen, and advanced biofuels, where they have placed the biggest bets in the energy transition.
Even the methane fee in the bill helps larger firms by making it more expensive for smaller rivals to operate.
The IRA is also not markedly negative for top shale producers either. These so-called independent producers, or exploration and production (E&P) firms, are U.S.-focused and obsessed with cutting costs, so the IRA matters to them.
But over the past year, they also have been raking in record amounts of cash, which they have been giving back to shareholders in dividends or buybacks, making them favorites on Wall Street.
They know that high oil and gas prices are here to stay due to chronic underinvesment in global upstream supply. The IRA’s support of clean energy won’t change that and is a drop in the bucket in the context of the global energy investment mix.
Perhaps most importantly for the U.S.-centric firms, the bill would sound the death knell for President Joe Biden’s anti-drilling pledge — a concession that has enraged climate activists.
It would resurrect canceled offshore oil and gas lease sales and lock in new oil and gas sales onshore — which would be tied to future federal auctions for solar and wind rights. Yes, the bill would also hike oil and gas royalty rates, which will hurt cost competitiveness. But if commodity prices remain high and investors continue to demand gobs of cash from oil and gas producers, it may not matter much.
Besides, permit reform could be the most significant gift to the industry. Sen. Manchin has promised it, and the Democrats must deliver it to support new fossil fuel infrastructure and expand renewable energy.
Both Big Oil and shale producers need export markets to thrive. They really don’t care if wind and solar take up a share of the domestic electricity market, especially since natural gas offers the most competitive baseload power source.
What they want, though, is a guarantee that new oil and gas pipelines and LNG export terminals can be built expeditiously – without a mountain of red tape – so they can supply markets abroad where oil and gas demand will keep growing for years to come, such as in Asia. This demand will continue to support high commodity prices and help sustain upstream E&P operations in the future.
Further down the ranks of the industry, there are thousands of smaller independents with much narrower interests than Big Oil or Shale. They have the most to lose from the IRA because they generally are not as well-capitalized as their larger rivals, so their fortunes could turn on higher costs.
But even this sub-sector, which can push a more radical stance against climate policy when it involves an uneven playing field, has been relatively quiet. State and local laws and regulations can often be more important to these players, and they will continue to push their cause at these levels. But they will enjoy the same benefits of IRA as their larger brethren.
Finally, there is the IRA’s impact on future oil and gas demand. Quite frankly, the effect could be bullish by preserving strong oil demand for longer since it raises the bar for incentives for electric vehicles, as automakers are pointing out. That includes provisions requiring a percentage of battery components be sourced in North America, which would be no small feat. It could realistically extend gasoline’s dominance of the U.S. transportation market.
Moreover, natural gas will still be needed to support renewable generating sources as a baseload power supply. And it will still be needed for decades in Asia and Europe, particularly as the EU blocks Russian imports in the near term.
Democrats can pat themselves on the back until it aches, but they should not expect the IRA to soon slow down the oil and gas industry. | https://www.forbes.com/sites/daneberhart/2022/08/12/the-inflation-reduction-act-is-no-oil-killer/ | 2022-08-12T14:15:54Z | https://www.forbes.com/sites/daneberhart/2022/08/12/the-inflation-reduction-act-is-no-oil-killer/ | true |
- Novavax and partner SK bioscience will provide the first protein-based COVID-19 vaccine approved for use in adolescents aged 12 through 17 years in South Korea
GAITHERSBURG, Md., Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Novavax, Inc. (Nasdaq: NVAX), a biotechnology company dedicated to developing and commercializing next-generation vaccines for serious infectious diseases, today announced that partner, SK bioscience, has received a Post Approval Change Application approval from the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (KMFDS) for Nuvaxovid™ (NVX-CoV2373) COVID-19 vaccine for active immunization to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) in adolescents aged 12 through 17.
"Today's approval in South Korea is an important step in ensuring broad global access to a protein-based vaccine option," said Stanley C. Erck, President and Chief Executive Officer, Novavax. "We are pleased to collaborate with SK bioscience to offer our vaccine to adolescents aged 12 through 17 in South Korea."
Jaeyong Ahn, CEO of SK bioscience said, "We are responding to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic by expanding the use of Nuvaxovid for adolescents and as a booster. With CDMO manufacturing of global COVID-19 vaccines, including Nuvaxovid, we will do our best to promote human health in the world."
The approval was based on data from the ongoing pediatric expansion of the Phase 3 PREVENT-19 trial of 2,247 adolescents aged 12 through 17 years across 73 sites in the U.S., to evaluate the safety, effectiveness (immunogenicity), and efficacy of Nuvaxovid. In the trial, Nuvaxovid achieved its primary effectiveness endpoint and demonstrated 80% clinical efficacy overall at a time when the Delta variant was the predominant circulating SARS-CoV-2 strain in the U.S.
Preliminary safety data from the trial showed the vaccine to be generally well-tolerated. Serious and severe adverse events were low in number and balanced between vaccine and placebo groups, and not considered related to the vaccine. Local and systemic reactogenicity was generally lower than or similar to adults, after the first and second dose. The most common adverse reactions observed were injection site tenderness/pain, headache, myalgia, fatigue, and malaise. There was no increase in reactogenicity in younger (12 to <15 years old) adolescents compared to older (15 to <18 years old) adolescents. No new safety signal was observed through the placebo-controlled portion of the study.
In the 12 through 17 year-old population, Nuvaxovid has been granted authorization in India, the European Union, Australia, Thailand, and Japan, and is actively under review in other markets.
KMFDS approved Nuvaxovid for use in adults aged 18 and older in January 2022. In Korea, SK bioscience signed a licensing agreement with Novavax and is manufacturing drug substance and drug product of Nuvaxovid for domestic use.
Trade Name Use in the U.S.
The trade name Nuvaxovid™ has not yet been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Important Safety Information
- Nuvaxovid is contraindicated in persons who have a hypersensitivity to the active substance, or to any of the excipients.
- Events of anaphylaxis have been reported with administration of COVID-19 vaccines. Appropriate medical treatment and supervision should be available in case of an anaphylactic reaction following the administration of the vaccine. Close observation for at least 15 minutes is recommended and a second dose of the vaccine should not be given to those who have experienced anaphylaxis to the first dose of Nuvaxovid.
- Anxiety-related reactions, including vasovagal reactions (syncope), hyperventilation, or stress‐related reactions may occur in association with vaccination as a psychogenic response to the needle injection. It is important that precautions are in place to avoid injury from fainting.
- Vaccination should be postponed in individuals suffering from an acute severe febrile illness or acute infection. The presence of a minor infection and/or low-grade fever should not delay vaccination.
- Nuvaxovid should be given with caution in individuals receiving anticoagulant therapy or those with thrombocytopenia or any coagulation disorder (such as haemophilia) because bleeding or bruising may occur following an intramuscular administration in these individuals.
- The efficacy of Nuvaxovid may be lower in immunosuppressed individuals.
- Administration of Nuvaxovid in pregnancy should only be considered when the potential benefits outweigh any potential risks for the mother and foetus.
- The effects with Nuvaxovid may temporarily affect the ability to drive or use machines.
- Individuals may not be fully protected until seven days after their second dose. As with all vaccines, vaccination with Nuvaxovid may not protect all vaccine recipients.
- The most common adverse reactions observed during clinical studies were headache, nausea or vomiting, myalgia, arthralgia, injection site tenderness/pain, fatigue, and malaise.

About the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine (NVX-CoV2373)
The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine (NVX-CoV2373) is a protein-based vaccine engineered from the genetic sequence of the first strain of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 disease. The vaccine was created using Novavax' recombinant nanoparticle technology to generate antigen derived from the coronavirus spike (S) protein and is formulated with Novavax' patented saponin-based Matrix-M™ adjuvant to enhance the immune response and stimulate high levels of neutralizing antibodies. The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine contains purified protein antigen and can neither replicate, nor can it cause COVID-19.
The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine is packaged as a ready-to-use liquid formulation in a vial containing ten doses. The vaccination regimen calls for two 0.5 ml doses (5 mcg antigen and 50 mcg Matrix-M adjuvant) given intramuscularly 21 days apart. The vaccine is stored at 2°- 8° Celsius, enabling the use of existing vaccine supply and cold chain channels. Use of the vaccine should be in accordance with official recommendations.
Novavax has established partnerships for the manufacture, commercialization and distribution of its COVID-19 vaccine worldwide. Existing authorizations leverage Novavax' manufacturing partnership with Serum Institute of India, the world's largest vaccine manufacturer by volume. They will later be supplemented with data from additional manufacturing sites throughout Novavax' global supply chain.
About the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine (NVX-CoV2373) Phase 3 Trials
The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine (NVX-CoV2373) continues being evaluated in two pivotal Phase 3 trials.
PREVENT-19 (the PRE-fusion protein subunit Vaccine Efficacy Novavax Trial | COVID-19) is a 2:1 randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded trial to evaluate the efficacy, safety and immunogenicity of the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine with Matrix-M adjuvant in 29,960 participants 18 years of age and older in 119 locations in the U.S. and Mexico. The primary endpoint for PREVENT-19 was the first occurrence of PCR-confirmed symptomatic (mild, moderate or severe) COVID-19 with onset at least seven days after the second dose in serologically negative (to SARS-CoV-2) adult participants at baseline. The statistical success criterion included a lower bound of 95% CI >30%. A secondary endpoint was the prevention of PCR-confirmed, symptomatic moderate or severe COVID-19. Both endpoints were assessed at least seven days after the second study vaccination in volunteers who had not been previously infected with SARS-CoV-2. In the trial, the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine achieved 90.4% efficacy overall. It was generally well-tolerated and elicited a robust antibody response after the second dose in both studies. Full results of the trial were published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
The pediatric expansion of PREVENT-19 is a 2:1 randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded trial to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and efficacy of the Novavax COVID-19 vaccine with Matrix-M adjuvant in 2,247 adolescent participants 12 to 17 years of age in 73 locations in the United States, compared with placebo. In the pediatric trial, the vaccine achieved its primary effectiveness endpoint (non-inferiority of the neutralizing antibody response compared to young adult participants 18 through 25 years of age from PREVENT-19) and demonstrated 80% efficacy overall at a time when the Delta variant of concern was the predominant circulating strain in the U.S. Additionally, immune responses were about two-to-three-fold higher in adolescents than in adults against all variants studied.
Additionally, a trial conducted in the U.K. with 14,039 participants aged 18 years and older was designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled, observer-blinded study and achieved overall efficacy of 89.7%. The primary endpoint was based on the first occurrence of PCR-confirmed symptomatic (mild, moderate or severe) COVID-19 with onset at least seven days after the second study vaccination in serologically negative (to SARS-CoV-2) adult participants at baseline. Full results of the trial were published in NEJM.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, NSB, the musical moniker for North Star Boys, an Asian-American music group with over 55 million combined followers across social media platforms, released their debut hyperpop single "SUNSHINE".
Making their debut in the Hyperpop genre, North Star Boys release their new single "SUNSHINE".
"SUNSHINE" symbolizes perseverance and dedication to the ones you love, an overarching theme emphasized throughout the official music video. Each member has their own sunshine they drew inspiration from for this single, whether it's an ex, current lover, family member, or as NSB co-founder, Oliver Moy, says, his newfound friend group-turned-family. For NSB member Regie Macalino, this means shedding light on his heritage, with elements of his Filipino culture embedded throughout the music video.
"Being raised in the Philippines for half of my life, it's always been important to me to incorporate my roots in everything I do. My family and I came to the US like many other Asians to chase the American Dream. In the music video for SUNSHINE, it was a special moment for me and the boys to shine light on the country I grew up in and inspire my fellow Filipino friends and followers to embrace our culture and not be afraid of being different," said Regie Macalino.
The North Star Boys have taken the internet by storm not only through music but also through their captivating social media presence, unique personalities, and impromptu meet & greets. Their most recent transition into the web3 space has proved successful, selling out of their first NFT drop in an hour. The group of 7 boys aims to inspire and be the Asian representation in media that they didn't see growing up.

These fixtures involve athletes giving their predicted time and running against others of the same standard to try to improve still further. It proved to be a very successful evening as all athletes either equalled their best or gained new personal bests.
Bryn Smith has been waiting for favourable weather conditions and good competition to run a personal best in the 100m. This he achieved with a fantastic 10.64 to rank him the fastest in Sussex this year.
He followed this with a fight to line in the 200m against international sprinter Leon Reid, who came through in the last 30m but Smith notched a season’s best of 21.83.

Shania Martlew also produced her season’s best in the 100m with 12.59. Her impressive bend running in the 200m gave her 26.02. Newcomer Nathan Burge (U13) showed he is a talent to look out for as he won both his 100m and 200m in 12.57 and 26.74. His 100m time ranks him in the top ten in the country in this age group.
Josie Usher continues to shave hundredths off her previous time so was thrilled with her 13.43 and 28.18 in the U15 girls’ sprints. Caitlyn Spencer led from the start in her 100m for a personal best of 13.1 and another clear lead gave her 27.09 in her 200m.
Diasy Barrow stepped on to the track after a season of injuries but was pleased with her 13.3 and 27.76 – showing some of her old form. Another raw talent stepping on the track for only the second time was Toby Shepherd, who crossed the line with fast times of 12.1 and 24.96 to stamp his mark on the U15 boys rankings.
In the distance races James Stephen (U20) ran another strong 1500m to clock 4.22.42. The Korchev family were having their own battle against the clock when Ilya came through in 4.28 and dad Jurie ran 4.46.33.
Adam Churchyard is proving to be a good all round athlete and after successes in the discus in past events he concentrated on the sprints on this occasion with 13.5 for the 100m and 27.13 for the 200m. | https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/sport/other-sport/eastbourne-rovers-get-a-move-on-at-worthing-3802210 | 2022-08-12T14:20:31Z | https://www.sussexexpress.co.uk/sport/other-sport/eastbourne-rovers-get-a-move-on-at-worthing-3802210 | false |
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (CFP Board) announced that it has imposed an interim suspension of the CFP® certification against Jason Cooke, which is effective as of August 5, 2022.
On July 11, 2022, CFP Board filed a Motion for Interim Suspension Order pursuant to Article 2.1.a.1 of CFP Board's Procedural Rules requesting the Disciplinary and Ethics Commission (DEC) issue an Interim Suspension Order against Mr. Cooke. On April 28, 2022, Mr. Cooke was arrested and charged with five counts of felony dealing in child pornography in the Kent County (Delaware) Court of Common Pleas (Case No. 2204014557). His firm terminated him as a consequence of those charges, and press reports described the charges. A Hearing Panel of the DEC reviewed the matter on August 4, 2022, and then granted the Motion and issued the Interim Suspension Order on August 5, 2022, after determining that CFP Board Counsel demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence that Mr. Cooke's conduct poses a significant threat to the public or significantly impinges upon the reputation of the profession or the CFP® certification marks. Under the Interim Suspension Order, the right of Mr. Cooke to use the CFP® marks is suspended pending CFP Board's completed investigation and possible further disciplinary proceedings.
An interim suspension is a suspension of a CFP® professional's certification and trademark license during the pendency of proceedings. A Respondent subject to an Interim Suspension Order must not use the CFP® certification marks or state or suggest that Respondent is a CFP® professional while the Interim Suspension Order is in effect. An Interim Suspension Order is a temporary sanction and does not preclude CFP Board from imposing a final sanction. An Interim Suspension Order will remain in place until the DEC or, if an appeal is filed, CFP Board's Appeals Commission, issues a final order. CFP Board Counsel may vacate an Interim Suspension Order if a criminal conviction, civil liability or professional discipline is vacated or reversed or if Respondent provides sufficient evidence indicating that Respondent was not the subject of a criminal conviction, civil liability or professional discipline. A Hearing Panel of the DEC may issue an Order to vacate an Interim Suspension Order upon a successful Petition to Vacate an Interim Suspension Order by Respondent.
The basis for this decision also may be found on CFP Board's website at CFP.net/verify. At that website, CFP Board provides the public with:
- The ability to check on any individual's CFP Board disciplinary history and CFP® certification status.
- Links to other sources of information about CFP® professionals that may be more recent or that may contain information that has not led to CFP Board discipline and does not appear on CFP Board's website. This information may include customer disputes, disciplinary actions taken by a regulator or employer, certain criminal matters and certain financial matters (such as bankruptcy proceedings and unpaid judgments or liens).
- Links to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority Inc.'s (FINRA's) BrokerCheck and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC's) Investment Adviser Public Disclosure databases for individuals who are subject to FINRA or SEC oversight.
As part of their certification, CFP® professionals make a commitment to CFP Board to abide by CFP Board's Code of Ethics and Standards of Conduct (Code and Standards) or its predecessor, the Standards of Professional Conduct (Standards), which included the Code of Ethics and Professional Responsibility, Rules of Conduct and Financial Planning Practice Standards. CFP Board's Procedural Rules set forth the process for investigating matters and imposing sanctions where violations have been found.
CFP Board enforces its ethical standards by investigating alleged violations and, where there is probable cause to believe there are grounds for sanction, presents a Complaint containing the alleged violations to CFP Board's DEC. The DEC meets at least six times a year to review any matter in which CFP Board has alleged that a CFP® professional has violated the Code and Standards or its predecessor Standards. The DEC functions in accordance with the Procedural Rules and reviews all matters on a case-by-case basis, considering the details specific to an individual case. If the DEC determines there are grounds for sanction, then it may impose a sanction. DEC orders may be appealed by a CFP® professional or CFP Board pursuant to the Procedural Rules.
In certain circumstances, such as when a CFP® professional is in default due to failure to acknowledge receipt of a Notice of Investigation or file an Answer, CFP Board staff must deliver an Administrative Order of Suspension, Temporary Bar, Revocation or Permanent Bar. Administrative Orders also are subject to appeal.
More information on CFP Board's enforcement process can be found at CFP.net/ethics/enforcement.
Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. is the professional body for personal financial planners in the U.S. CFP Board sets standards for financial planning and administers the prestigious CFP® certification – one of the most respected certifications in financial services – so that the public has access to and benefits from competent and ethical financial planning.

Elon Musk says Twitter hiding witnesses he needs in buyout fight
Musk contends the social media company isn’t producing the names of employees specifically responsible for evaluating how much of Twitter’s customer base is made up of spam and robot accounts, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
Elon Musk is accusing Twitter Inc of hiding key witnesses in their legal battle over whether he must consummate a $44 billion buyout of the company, according to people familiar with the allegations.
Musk contends the social media company isn’t producing the names of employees specifically responsible for evaluating how much of Twitter’s customer base is made up of spam and robot accounts, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
Musk’s lawyers have asked the judge in the case to force Twitter to identify the workers so the defense can get their records and question them, the people said.
A letter asking Delaware Chancery Court Judge Kathaleen St. J. McCormick to compel Twitter to hand over the names was filed Tuesday under seal. Under the court’s rules, Twitter’s attorneys have five business days to decide what should be redacted from the filing as proprietary information.
A Twitter spokesman declined to comment on the filing.
The letter comes as the Tesla Inc co-founder said Tuesday he is selling $6.9 billion of Tesla shares to avoid a sudden sale in the event he is forced to go ahead with the deal to acquire Twitter. That has prompted some analysts to predict the billionaire may settle the case.
So far Twitter has handed over the names of “records custodians,” who aren’t as familiar with the data at issue, the people said. Musk wants McCormick to force Twitter to come up with the names of the employees charged with monitoring those accounts, they said. Both sides have issued a torrent of subpoenas to banks, investors and lawyers involved in the teetering transaction as they seek ammunition for an October 17 trial.
“It’s another salvo in the discovery wars that are common in this kind of litigation,” said Carl Tobias, a University of Richmond law professor who specializes in securities and merger and acquisition law. “Both sides are jockeying for position by targeting different information.”
War of the bots Twitter’s lawyers say they’ll need only four days in court to prove Musk is using questions about spam and bot accounts as a pretext to walk away from the deal. The company said it has turned over all its information about those accounts and that it intends to make Musk pay the $54.20 per share he originally agreed to.
Musk counters in court filings that Twitter’s handover of the that material hasn’t been robust and that the company has failed to produce evidence that spam bots account for fewer than 5% of its active users, as it has said in regulatory filings. He argues this gives him a legitimate basis for canceling the buyout.
He alleges Twitter’s disclosures show that the actual number of monetizable daily active users, or mDAU as the industry calls it, is 65 million less than the 238 million Twitter has claimed. He says Twitter also misrepresents how many of those users view advertising, the company’s main source of revenue. By his estimate, fewer than 16 million users see the majority of ads and should be counted as monetizable.
The case is Twitter vs Musk, 22-0613, Delaware Chancery Court (Wilmington).
Musk contends the social media company isn’t producing the names of employees specifically responsible for evaluating how much of Twitter’s customer base is made up of spam and robot accounts, said the people, who asked not to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the matter.

Conservative group spends big in state-level effort to change Constitution
DENVER (AP) — The fliers piled up in mailboxes in central South Dakota like snow during a high-plains blizzard: “Transgender Sex Education in Schools?” one asked. “Vote Against Sex Ed Radical Mary Duvall for State Senate.”
The mailers were part of a $58,000 campaign against the five-term Republican lawmaker, an enormous sum of money in a place where the cost of running for a statehouse seat is typically in the low five figures. Despite the subject of the attack ads, Duvall was targeted not for her stance on sex education but for her opposition to a longshot bid by some conservatives to force a convention to amend the U.S. Constitution.
“I knew they were angry at me, but I had no idea this was going to be coming during my primary campaign,” said Duvall, who ended up losing her race by 176 votes.
Duvall opposed legislation that would have added South Dakota to 19 other states calling for a gathering known as a convention of states, following a plan mapped out by a conservative group that wants to change parts of the United States’ foundational document. When that number hits two-thirds of the states — or 34 — under the procedure laid out in the Constitution, a convention would meet with the power to amend the 235-year-old document.
The campaign against Duvall was part of a more than $600,000 push in at least five states earlier this year by the group, Convention of States Action, and its affiliates in Republican primaries to elect sympathetic lawmakers who could add more states to its column. Much of the money comes from groups that do not have to disclose their donors, masking the identity of who is funding the push to change the Constitution.
Mark Meckler, the group’s president and former head of Tea Party Patriots, issued a brief statement saying the group was committed to being active in the midterms “in a big way.”
For years, Convention of States Action has been a staple of the conservative political scene. But its engagement in primary campaigns marks an escalation at a time when parts of the conservative movement are testing the limits of the nation’s political rulebook, pushing aggressive tactics from gerrymandering to voting restrictions.
The track record of the convention group’s spending is spotty. In South Dakota, where the group and its affiliates spent more than $200,000 targeting four state Senate seats, Duvall was the only one of its targets to lose. And the challenger who beat her, Jim Mehlhaff, said in an interview that he thinks the group’s intervention hurt him.
“I didn’t appreciate the negative tone of their mailers. It probably cost me some votes,” said Mehlhaff, a former member of Pierre’s city commission who had his own base of support in the district before the intervention of Convention of States. “This is South Dakota. People don’t like negative campaigns.”
Mehlhaff was baffled at the notion that a possible constitutional convention factored so heavily in his race: “Convention of states is not my issue at all,” he said.
Supporters of a convention argue it’s the best way to amend the Constitution — especially to take power from Congress, which has to approve by a two-thirds vote any proposed amendments that don’t come from a convention. Still, no amendments have been implemented through a convention since the Constitution was ratified in 1788.
Backers argue that any amendments that emerge from the convention would have to be approved by even more states than required to call it — three-quarters, or 38 of them — ensuring that the only changes would be measures with broad support. The GOP would have the upper hand in that venue, though, as it controls the legislatures in 30 states.
One liberal group is pushing for a convention to change campaign finance laws that has won backing in four states, while another effort by conservatives seeks one to impose a balanced budget amendment. The Convention of States group is more vague on its goals, stating that it seeks a gathering that could pass amendments only to “limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government, impose fiscal restraints, and place term limits on federal officials.”
That alarms many Democrats, who see the push as a partisan effort to write conservative goals into the Constitution. But several conservatives have also balked, fearing that a convention could open the document to changes they wouldn’t favor, such as on gun control or campaign spending.
“Lots of things can happen that we can’t predict” if there’s a constitutional convention, said Walter Olson, a senior fellow at the conservative Cato Institute in Washington, D.C. “A lot of Republicans are temperamentally conservative and don’t like taking large leaps into the unknown, and they are going to be seen as dragging their heels.”
The convention group has won some successes lately. Earlier this year, it persuaded South Carolina’s GOP-controlled Legislature to approve a motion for a convention, making it the 19th state, all Republican-run, to sign on. But it has been stymied in some solidly conservative states such as South Dakota, whose state Senate has repeatedly voted down resolutions for a convention.
Duvall said that’s because Republican voters there don’t want a constitutional rewrite.
“The majority of my constituents I’ve talked to say ‘No, this is a bad idea and dangerous,’” Duvall said.
Robert Natelson, a retired law professor who formerly served as an advisor to Convention of States Action, said that’s a result of fear-mongering. He has researched historical conventions of states and said they have clear procedures and limitations. They have occurred throughout the country’s history with varied records of accomplishment, on subjects ranging from the war of 1812 to how certain Western states would share water from the Colorado River.
“This was a process designed for the people to use,” Natelson said. “If you think everything’s going well, if you’re part of the 15% of the population that has a favorable view of Congress, then you don’t want a convention.”
The movement is using money to combat skepticism. Convention of States Action and its affiliated foundation reported raising more than $10 million in 2020, according to IRS documents. As nonprofits, the organizations do not need to disclose most of their donors.
The Convention of States’ recent spending came through multiple newly created political groups that steered campaign money around the country, largely shielding donors from disclosure.
“They have gone out of their way to set up a web of dark money groups to obscure where the money is coming from and evade reporting requirements,” said Arn Pearson, executive director of the Center for Media and Democracy, which filed complaints with authorities in Arizona and Montana against the network’s campaign apparatus.
In Montana, the network spent $126,000 on radio ads and mailers to support two state legislators and a candidate for a state House seat after failing multiple times to get a resolution through the Legislature. The state Commissioner of Political Practices found the group failed to register as a political organization and report its campaign spending.
According to a disclosure report it filed in Michigan, the group also spent more than $40,000 supporting statehouse candidates there. It spent $10,000 on statehouse races in North Carolina. A group it formed in Idaho reported spending more than $100,000 before the state’s May 17 primary, including more than $75,000 against state Rep. Judy Boyle, a conservative who co-wrote a newspaper column with a liberal lawmaker about why a convention of states was a bad idea.
A seven-term lawmaker, Boyle said she’d been warned the group would target her and said their radio ads falsely claimed the local right-to-life group endorsed her opponent.
“I knew then that the group believes the ends justify the means and they would go to any length to smear me, which they did,” Boyle said via text message.
She eventually won her election — by six votes.

Love Island star Danica Taylor has said that she wishes she had confronted some of her fellow islanders while they were in the villa together.
The dancer, 21, has spoken about her experience on the ITV2 dating show since returning to the UK - where she's had time to watch some episodes from the series.
She revealed that in hindsight she wishes she had confronted the likes of including Paige Thorne, 24, over the way she felt she was treated after arriving into the villa two weeks in.
Danica said that in particular she wishes she'd expressed herself more when she was saved from being dumped by the boys - who picked to dump Antigoni Buxton, 26.
She told On Demand Entertainment : "Not gonna lie, watching it back, I've seen sort of the way Paige was when Antigoni left and it was very clear she wanted me to go."
Danica said that she should have approached Paige to let her know how it felt, with her saying that she saw her co-star "mouthing things" to others about her being saved.
She commented about it: "Like I've done nothing wrong and you're blatantly mouthing things across the firepit to insinuate like 'what the hell why is Danica still here?'"

The former islander however said she's had time to "move past" it, though further commented about the situation: "In the moment, looking back, I wish I'd said things."
It isn't the only situation Danica wishes she had handled differently though, with her saying that she feels "quite sad" watching herself back as she thinks she "let a lot of things slide".
She explained that others in the villa didn't give her the experience she had been hoping for and that she didn't feel supported at the beginning of her experience in the villa.
She said that it meant she "couldn't express" how she felt about certain things and she now wishes she had said that she wouldn't tolerate "rude" or "disrespectful" behaviour.
"I do feel sad watching it back for myself because I can see some of the looks that I used to get or the comments. But it's fine, if people don't like me that's on them really," she said.
Danica said "it's all cool" now and that she got to know her co-stars more as the experience went on. She said that her fellow islanders, including Paige, don't deserve to receive hate.
The Mirror approached Paige's rep for comment.

Music fans rage against Rage Against The Machine for quitting Reading and Leeds Festival headline slots to be replaced by The 1975
- The rock band cancelled their European performances following medical advice
- Lead singer Zack de la Rocha has been advised he needs to rest and cannot tour
- Fans expressed their frustration at the news online and asked for refunds
- Despite the protests, no refunds are believed to have been offered by the festival
Fans are outraged after Reading Festival headliners Rage Against The Machine said they would not perform.
The band said they would not attend the festival as planned as they cancelled their 2022 European tour dates citing medical advice. This also includes their planned performance at Leeds Festival.
Rage Against The Machine, best known for their songs 'Killing In the Name' and 'Bulls on Parade', had been set to headline at Reading alongside The Arctic Monkeys, Dave and Halsey.
The rock group is set to be replaced by pop band The 1975 at the festival at the end of August.

Lead singer Zack de la Rocha said he will rest at home after the group play their gig at Madison Square Garden, New York on August 14.
Fans have expressed their frustration at the cancellation at Reading Festival, with some asking for their money back.
One said on Twitter: 'Replacing Rage Against The Machine With 1975 is like swapping Slayer with S Club 7.'
Another suggested a large number of festival tickets would be refunded because of the news, saying: 'There will be hundreds for sale from disappointed RATM fans.'
One fan expressed their disappointment by adding: 'Boooooo'
Writing a message to Ticketmaster, a festivalgoer asked for a refund following the band's cancellation. They said: 'I have a Sunday ticket to Reading Festival and would like to request a refund, as the main headliner Rage Against The Machine has cancelled and will not be performing. I would appreciate some help.'
The band said lead singer Zack de la Rocha had been medically advised he could not go on the European tour and would need time to recover
The rock group posted the news online, apologising to fans and saying lead singer Zack de la Rocha would need time to recover from an unspecified medical condition
A Twitter user was even more critical of the news by asking: 'Has there ever been a worse lineup than this year's?'
Another asked: 'Ticketmaster. I'm pursuing a refund for Reading Festival as I have a day ticket for Sunday and the headliner, Rage Against The Machine have cancelled. Please can you help?'
There were dozens of other requests for refunds online, including some fans suggesting they would give their tickets away for free.
Ticketmaster responded to fans on Twitter by asking them to contact them by direct messages. It is not known if any refunds have been offered by the festival or any ticket company.
Rage Against The Machine announced online they would cancel their planned gigs after the end of this weekend.
The band said in a statement: 'Per medical guidance, Zack de la Rocha has been advised that the August and September 2022 UK and European leg of the Rage Against the machine tour cannot proceed. It is with great disappointment that we announce this cancellation.
'Rage Against the Machine will be finishing their run at Madison Square Garden on August 11, 12 and 14 and then Zack must return home for rest and rehabilitation.
'The flights, travel time, and rigorous schedule in the UK and Europe are simply too much of a risk for a complete recovery.
'We are so sorry to all of our fans who have waited years to see us and hope to Rage again soon.
'Please contact your point of purchase for refunds to any headline shows.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11106117/Music-fans-rage-against-Rage-Against-Machine-quitting-Reading-Leeds-festivals-headline.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-12T14:29:46Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11106117/Music-fans-rage-against-Rage-Against-Machine-quitting-Reading-Leeds-festivals-headline.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false |

They serve Vietnamese cuisine made fast and with high-quality ingredients.
The most popular dish is the pho.
They make the Vietnamese rice noodle soup in a variety of flavors but the classic is beef with bone broth, so tender you can cut the meat with a spoon.
And Director of Operations Chuong Nguyen says it's the best hangover cure, "Friday night, Saturday night, you and your friends go out and get a little drunk and wake up in the morning with a little hangover the best cure for it is a bowl of pho."
He says it's all about the bone broth which can take hours to prepare.
"It needs a lot of TLC," Nguyen says. "Lot of tender love and care. There's ginger, onions, radish, carrots and star anise, clover and cinnamon and you cook it about 5-6 hours every day." | https://abc11.com/hangover-cure-pho-nam-vietnamese-kitchen-philadelphia/12115050/ | 2022-08-12T14:37:26Z | https://abc11.com/hangover-cure-pho-nam-vietnamese-kitchen-philadelphia/12115050/ | false |
BOSTON, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A team from Analysis Group, one of the largest international economics consulting firms, supported affiliated expert Professor Edward A. Snyder, who provided testimony on behalf of defendants in a criminal antitrust price-fixing matter brought by the federal government. The defendants were former executives at leading poultry processing companies.
In the matter (US v. Penn, et al.), the US Department of Justice (DOJ) alleged that the defendants engaged in an agreement to fix prices and rig bids for broiler chickens between 2012 and 2019. The DOJ charged the defendants with a criminal violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act for an alleged conspiracy to restrain trade. Following a hung jury in two prior trials, the DOJ took the unprecedented step of trying the case a third time.
In all three trials, an Analysis Group team led by Managing Principal Andrea Okie, and including Principal Mark Lewis and Vice Presidents Kevin Gallagher and David Smith, supported the defense and Professor Snyder, William S. Beinecke Professor of Economics and Management, Yale School of Management.
In his expert analysis assessing whether there was economic evidence consistent with a price-fixing agreement, Professor Snyder testified that his analysis of objective economic data did not support the DOJ's theory of price-fixing and bid rigging. He testified that information exchanges are expected in the broiler chicken industry and do not indicate price-fixing. He also showed that pricing patterns were inconsistent with the DOJ's theory and that the at-issue prices were not systematically higher than benchmark prices analyzed for the case. Professor Snyder, instead, found that the at-issue prices and price changes were consistent with the supply and demand conditions in the broiler chicken industry.
Following the third trial, spanning five weeks in the US District Court for the District of Colorado, a jury acquitted all defendants.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MainStay CBRE Global Infrastructure Megatrends Fund (the "Fund") (NYSE: MEGI) today announced the Fund's monthly distributions for August 2022 of $0.1083 per common share. The distribution reflects an annualized distribution rate of 6.5% based on a $20.00 per share initial public offering (IPO) price.
Dividend Distribution Schedule:
The amounts and sources of distributions reported in this Notice are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of this distribution or from the terms of the Fund's Distribution Policy.
Future earnings of the Fund cannot be guaranteed, and the Fund's distribution policy is subject to change. For more information on the Fund, please visit the Fund's website here.
The Fund's monthly distribution is set by its Board of Trustees. The Board reviews the Fund's distribution on a quarterly basis in view of its net investment income, realized and unrealized gains, and other net unrealized appreciation or income expected during the remainder of the year. The Fund strives to establish a level monthly distribution that, over the course of the year, will serve to distribute an amount closely approximating the Fund's net investment income and net realized capital gains during the year.
The following table sets forth the estimated sources of income of the current distribution, and the cumulative distributions paid this fiscal year to date from the following sources: net investment income, net realized short-term capital gains, net realized long-term capital gains and return of capital or other capital source. All amounts are expressed on a per share of common stock basis and as a percentage of the distribution amount.
MainStay CBRE Global Infrastructure Megatrends Fund is a closed-end fund, which is traded on the New York Stock Exchange and invests primarily in income-producing equity securities issued by infrastructure companies. Holdings are subject to change. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The Fund's daily New York Stock Exchange closing prices, net asset values per share, as well as other information are available by clicking here or by calling the Fund's shareholder servicing agent at (855) 456-9683.
Fund Performance Information:
October 27, 2021 (Inception Date) to July 31, 2022
The Cumulative Total Return: -1.42%
There is no assurance the Fund will continue to pay regular monthly distributions or that it will do so at a particular rate.
You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of its distribution to shareholders.
Any distributions in excess of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits will be treated first, as a tax-deferred return of capital, which is applied against and will reduce the adjusted tax basis of shares and, after such adjusted basis is reduced to zero, will generally constitute capital gains. A return of capital distribution may lower a shareholder's basis in the Fund, causing a potential future tax consequence in connection with the sale of Fund shares, even if such shares are sold at a loss to the shareholder's initial investments.
Any amounts and sources of distributions are only estimated and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The actual amounts and sources of income of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend on the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of its fiscal year and may be subject to changes based on tax regulations. The Fund will send a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will advise how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
Before considering an investment in the Fund, you should understand that you could lose money. There are risks inherent in all investments. The Fund's risks include:
New Fund Risk: The Fund is a new fund which may result in additional risk. The Fund may cease operations and in such an event, investors may be required to liquidate or transfer their investments at an inopportune time.
Limited Operating History Risk: The Fund is a recently organized, non-diversified, closed end management investment company with limited operating history. It is designed for long term investing and not as a vehicle for trading. Shares of closed end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their NAV.
Limited Term Risk: Unless action is otherwise taken by the Board in accordance with the Declaration of Trust, the Fund will commence the process of liquidation and dissolution at the close of business on December 15, 2033 (the "Termination Date"). The Fund will not seek to return an initial investment in common shares by an investor on the Termination Date. Instead, the Fund will distribute an amount equal to the Fund's NAV at that time, which may be greater or less than an investor's initial investment.
Infrastructure Industry Risk: The Fund is particularly exposed to adverse economic, regulatory, political, legal, geographical, and other changes affecting the issuers of infrastructure related securities. Infrastructure related companies are subject to a variety of factors that may adversely affect their business or operations, including high interest costs in connection with capital construction programs, difficulties in obtaining financing for construction programs, costs associated with environmental and other regulations, the effects of economic slowdown, surplus capacity, increased competition from other providers of services, uncertainties concerning the availability of fuel at reasonable prices, the effects of energy conservation policies, changes in market sentiment and other factors. Additionally, infrastructure related companies may be subject to regulation by various governmental authorities, may also be affected by governmental regulation of rates charged to customers, service interruption, and/or legal challenges due to environmental, operational, the imposition of special tariffs and changes in tax laws, regulatory policies, and accounting standards. There is also the risk that corruption may negatively affect infrastructure projects, resulting in delays and cost overruns.
Leverage Risk: The use of leverage creates an opportunity for increased common share net investment income dividends, but also creates risks for the holders of common shares. Leverage is a speculative technique that exposes the Fund to greater risk, and increased costs. Leverage may cause greater changes in the Fund's NAV. The Fund will also have to pay interest on its borrowings, if any, which may reduce the Fund's return.
Equity Securities Risk: Equity securities prices have historically experienced periods of significant volatility, particularly during recessions or other periods of financial stress. Common stock prices, like other equity securities may be affected by macroeconomics and other factors affecting the stock market in general, including financial or political conditions that may affect particular industries, or the economy in general. Preferred stocks are subject to issuer specific risks, in addition to the general equity risks, and unlike common stocks, participation in the growth of an issuer may be limited.
Foreign Securities Risk: Foreign securities can be subject to greater risks than U.S. investments, including currency fluctuations, less liquid trading markets, greater price volatility, political and economic instability, less publicly available information, and changes in tax or currency laws or monetary policy. These risks are likely to be greater for emerging markets than in developed markets.
Convertible Securities Risk: The value of a convertible security, which is a form of hybrid security (i.e., a security with both debt and equity characteristics), typically increases or decreases with the price of the underlying common stock. In general, a convertible security is subject to the market risks of stocks, and its price may be as volatile as that of the underlying stock, when the underlying stock's price is high relative to the conversion price, and a convertible security is subject to the market risks of debt securities, and is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates, when the underlying stock 's price is low relative to the conversion price. The general market risks of debt securities that are common to convertible securities include, but are not limited to, interest rate risk and credit risk, they are subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due; their market value may change based on changes in the issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of the issuer's creditworthiness.
Debt Securities Risk: The risks involved with investing in debt securities include (without limitation) credit risk, the risk that an issuer, guarantor, or liquidity provider of a debt security may be unable or unwilling, or may be perceived (whether by market participants, ratings agencies, pricing services or otherwise) as unable or unwilling, to make timely principal and/or interest payments, or to otherwise honor its obligations.
Maturity Risk: Maturity, the average expected repayment date of the Fund's portfolio, taking into account the expected final repayment dates of the securities in the portfolio. A debt security with a longer maturity may fluctuate in value more than a debt security with a shorter maturity. Therefore, the NAV of the Fund that holds debt securities with a longer average maturity may fluctuate in value more than the NAV of the Fund that holds debt securities with a shorter average maturity.
Investment and Market Discount Risk: An investment in the Fund's Common Shares is subject to investment risk, including the possible loss of the entire principal amount that you invest. As with any stock, the price of the Fund's Common Shares will fluctuate with market conditions and other factors. At any point in time an investment in the Fund's Common Shares may be worth less than the original amount invested, even after taking into account distributions paid by the Fund. The Fund uses leverage, which will magnify the Fund's investment, market, and certain other risks.
Dividend Paying Securities Risk: Dividends the Fund receives on common stocks are not fixed but are declared at the discretion of an issuer's board of directors. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the securities held by the Fund will declare dividends in the future or that, if dividends are declared, they will remain at their current levels or increase over time. The Fund's emphasis on dividend paying securities could cause the Fund to underperform versus similar funds that invest without consideration of a company's track record of paying dividends or ability to pay dividends in the future. Dividend paying securities may not participate in a broad market advance to the same degree as other securities, and a sharp rise in interest rates or an economic downturn could cause a company to unexpectedly reduce or eliminate its dividend.
Discount from Net Asset Value Risk: Shares of closed end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from their net asset value. This characteristic is a risk separate and distinct from the risk that the Fund's NAV per Common Share could decrease as a result of its investment activities. The net asset value per Common Share will be reduced immediately following this offering as a result of the payment of certain offering costs. Although the value of the Fund's net assets is generally considered by market participants in determining whether to purchase or sell Common Shares, whether investors will realize gains or losses upon the sale of the Common Shares will depend entirely upon whether the market price of the Common Shares at the time of sale is above or below the investor's purchase price for the Common Shares. Because the market price of the Common Shares will be determined by factors such as net asset value, dividend and distribution levels and their stability (which will in turn be affected by levels of dividend and interest payments by the Fund's portfolio holdings, the timing and success of the Fund's investment strategies, regulations affecting the timing and character of Fund distributions, Fund expenses and other factors), supply of and demand for the Common Shares, trading volume of the Common Shares, general market, interest rate and economic conditions and other factors that may be beyond the control of the Fund, the Fund cannot predict whether the Common Shares will trade at, below or above net asset value or at, below or above the initial public offering price.
Emerging Markets Risk: The risks of foreign investments (or exposure to foreign investments) are usually much greater when they are made in (or result in exposure to) emerging markets. Investments in emerging markets may be considered speculative. Emerging markets are riskier than more developed markets because they tend to develop unevenly and may never fully develop. They are more likely to experience high rates of inflation and currency devaluations, which may adversely affect returns. In addition, many emerging markets have far lower trading volumes and less liquidity than developed markets, may be more likely to suffer sharp and frequent price changes or long-term price depression due to possible adverse publicity, investor perceptions, or the actions of a few large investors. Also, there may be less publicly available information about issuers in emerging markets, and such issuers may not be subject to accounting, auditing, recordkeeping, and financial reporting standards and requirements comparable to those to which companies in developed markets are.
Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fund carefully before investing. The Fund's prospectus, which contains this and other information about the Fund, should be read carefully before investing. A copy of the prospectus relating to this Fund may be obtained by contacting your financial advisor, or by calling 800-624-6782.

Antonio Conte expects Spurs to be better after four losses to Chelsea last term
By PA Staff published
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte believes Sunday’s trip to Stamford Bridge will be a true test of his side’s progress but is confident a “better” Spurs will do battle with Chelsea on this occasion.
Spurs lost four times to Thomas Tuchel’s team last season, including three defeats in quick succession in January.
It meant Tottenham missed out on a place in the Carabao Cup final and saw Conte question his own future a month later but a strong finish to the campaign saw them secure fourth spot and Champions League football.
A flurry of signings this summer has raised expectations in north London but they travel across the capital this weekend with the unwanted record of one win at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League era hanging over them.
Conte said: “The story is this but we want to try. When I arrived in Tottenham, I say we want to try to write a good story for this club.
“I know very well it will be more difficult than other clubs for many reasons but I think we have started to go in the right path.
“For sure on Sunday it will be a difficult game but we want to play this game, I want to play this game and my players want to play this game. This game will be important to make the right evaluation about our improvement.
“I think this game will be very important to us whether we win, lose or draw and then we have to be good to make the right evaluation.
“You can win the game and be lucky or lose the game and be unlucky so we have to make the right evaluation after the game with the performance, with the way we played and to feel our improvement.”
Ex-Chelsea boss Conte was honest about the “big gap” between Tottenham and his old club at the start of 2022.
While Spurs have progressed in the months since their three humbling losses in January, their London rivals have endured big changes with owner Roman Abramovich moving on in May and key personnel and players like Petr Cech and Antonio Rudiger departing Stamford Bridge.
“Last season we played three games after only two months since I arrived. Now we have seven months plus one month of pre-season. We implemented the work and as a team we are better,” Conte insisted.
“You have seen first game we play (against Southampton) with same players we had last season. For sure we are better than last season and I repeat because we have a squad with a number of players who are more reliable than last season.
“I think we improve the quality because when you go to play every three days, you have to make rotation but if you don’t drop the quality with rotation, you are more closer to success.
“I think Tottenham needed to do this so it was normal. We were foolish if we didn’t do this and the club knew this.
“In November we were in trouble in many aspects. Now after we work for seven months, we sign some players, I see there is more optimism in the environment and in the process but there is only one way to follow and that is to do the work to improve.”
Spurs will be without Clement Lenglet and Oliver Skipp on Sunday but Richarlison will return after suspension and be available to make his debut.
Delighted to confirm I will be joining @SpursOfficial returning as an Academy coach and also club Ambassador. It’s no secret the love I have for the club, and I’m really excited to get started. Here’s to the new chapter #Family ⚪🖤 pic.twitter.com/3L2AHt9JoG— Jermain Defoe OBE (@IAmJermainDefoe) August 12, 2022
Temperatures could hit 35 degrees in London this weekend and yet for Italian Conte, who was born in Lecce, he does not see it having any impact on the derby.
He added: “The weather is the same for them and for us.
“In Italy we have 40 or 42 degrees, especially where I was born in Lecce we sometimes touch 45 and we are used to this temperature but I understand for London it is unusual. The game will be good because both teams want to play and want to win.”
Meanwhile, Tottenham have announced that former striker Jermain Defoe has returned to the club as an academy coach and ambassador.

WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump has called for the “immediate” release of the federal warrant the FBI used to search his Florida estate, hours after the Justice Department had asked a court to unseal the warrant, with Attorney General Merrick Garland citing the “substantial public interest in this matter.”
In messages posted on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote, “Not only will I not oppose the release of documents ... I am going a step further by ENCOURAGING the immediate release of those documents.” He continued to assail the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago as “unAmerican, unwarranted and unnecessary.”
“Release the documents now!” he wrote.
Trump has been provided at least some of the records the government was seeking to unseal, but he and his lawyers have declined, so far, to make them public.
The decision on whether or not to unseal the records lies with U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart, the same judge who signed off on the search warrant. The department had until Friday afternoon to tell the judge whether Trump’s lawyers agree or disagree with their proposal to make the warrant public.
The department's request is striking because such documents traditionally remain sealed during a pending investigation. But the department appeared to recognize that its silence since the search had created a vacuum for bitter verbal attacks by Trump and his allies, and that the public was entitled to the FBI's side about what prompted Monday's action at the former president's home.
“The public’s clear and powerful interest in understanding what occurred under these circumstances weighs heavily in favor of unsealing,” said a motion filed in federal court in Florida on Thursday.
Should the warrant be released, it could disclose unflattering information about Trump and about FBI scrutiny of his handling of sensitive government documents right as he prepares for another run for the White House. During his successful 2016 campaign, he pointed frequently to an FBI investigation into his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, over whether she mishandled classified information.
If is unclear at this point how much information would be included in the documents, if made public, or if they would encompass an FBI affidavit that would presumably lay out a detailed factual basis for the search. The department specifically requested the unsealing of the warrant as well as a property receipt listing the items that were seized, along with two unspecified attachments.
To obtain a search warrant, federal authorities must prove to a judge that probable cause exists to believe that a crime was committed. Garland said he personally approved the warrant, a decision he said the department did not take lightly given that standard practice where possible is to select less intrusive tactics than a search of one's home.
In this case, according to a person familiar with the matter, there was substantial engagement with Trump and his representatives prior to the search warrant, including a subpoena for records and a visit to Mar-a-Lago a couple of months ago by FBI and Justice Department officials to assess how the documents were stored. The person was not authorized to discuss the matter by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.
Neither Trump nor the FBI has said anything about what documents the FBI might have recovered, or what precisely agents were looking for.
Trump, who for years has lambasted the FBI and sought to sow distrust among his supporters in its decisions, said the warrant was served and the search conducted despite his cooperation with the Justice Department over the search.
In a post to his Truth Social platform, Trump said that his “attorneys and representatives were cooperating fully” before the search, and that government officials “could have had whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted, if we had it."
FBI and Justice Department policy cautions against discussing ongoing investigations, both to protect the integrity of the inquiries and to avoid unfairly maligning someone who is being scrutinized but winds up ultimately not being charged. That’s especially true in the case of search warrants, where supporting court papers are routinely kept secret as the investigation proceeds.
In this case, though, Garland cited the fact that Trump himself had provided the first public confirmation of the FBI search, “as is his right." The Justice Department, in its new filing, also said that disclosing information about it now would not harm the court's functions.
Even so, Garland, in a hastily scheduled public statement delivered at the Justice Department, appeared to acknowledge the unusual nature of the department's request as he declined to take questions or provide any substantive details about the FBI's investigation.
“Much of our work is by necessity conducted out of the public eye. We do that to protect the constitutional rights of all Americans and to protect the integrity of our investigations," he said. "Federal law, longstanding department rules and our ethical obligations prevent me from providing further details as to the basis of the search at this time.”
The Justice Department under Garland has been leery of public statements about politically charged investigations, or of confirming to what extent it might be investigating Trump as part of a broader probe into the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol and efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The department has tried to avoid being seen as injecting itself into presidential politics, as happened in 2016 when then-FBI Director James Comey made an unusual public statement announcing that the FBI would not be recommending criminal charges against Clinton regarding her handling of email — and when he spoke up again just over a week before the election to notify Congress that the probe was being effectively reopened because of the discovery of new emails.
The Mar-a-Lago search warrant served Monday was part of an ongoing Justice Department investigation into the discovery of classified White House records recovered from Trump's home in Palm Beach, Florida, earlier this year. The National Archives had asked the department to investigate after saying 15 boxes of records it retrieved from the estate included classified records. Multiple federal laws govern the handling of classified information.
The attorney general also condemned verbal attacks on FBI and Justice Department personnel over the search. Some Republican allies of Trump have called for the FBI to be defunded. Large numbers of Trump supporters have called for the warrant to be released hoping they it will show that Trump was unfairly targeted.
“I will not stand by silently when their integrity is unfairly attacked,” Garland said of federal law enforcement agents, calling them “dedicated, patriotic public servants.”
Earlier Thursday, an armed man wearing body armor tried to breach a security screening area at an FBI field office in Ohio, then fled and was later killed after a standoff with law enforcement. A law enforcement official briefed on the matter identified the man as Ricky Shiffer and said he is believed to have been in Washington in the days leading up to the attack on the Capitol and may have been there on the day it took place.

(NEXSTAR) – The Department of Transportation has proposed a new package of rules that would make it easier for Americans to get their money back when things go wrong in air travel.
DOT says it has received “a flood” of complaints from travelers who have had their plans disrupted by COVID-19 and pandemic-related fallout, and lost money due to non-refundable ticket purchases.
The new rule would give people the right to a cash refund – not a voucher – “if airlines cancel or significantly change their flights.”
“Significant changes” is defined by the DOT as:
- Anything that affects departure or arrival times by three hours (or more) on domestic flights and six hours (or more) on international flights
- A change to which airport your flight departs from or arrives at
- A change to the number of connections in your itinerary
- If your aircraft type changes and “it causes a significant downgrade in the air travel experience or amenities available onboard the flight”
Under the new rule, you’ll also be eligible for a voucher if you cancel your flight for pandemic-related reasons. Those reasons can include:
- New government travel restrictions
- Closed borders
- Situations in which passengers are advised not to travel for their health or the health of others
These vouchers should not have an expiration date, the DOT says.
“When Americans buy an airline ticket, they should get to their destination safely, reliably, and affordably,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg in the DOT announcement. “This new proposed rule would protect the rights of travelers and help ensure they get the timely refunds they deserve from the airlines.”
The rule, proposed on August 3, is open for public comment for 90 days. After the public comment period ends, the proposal may be modified before the final rule is adopted and take effect.
Lawmakers also introduced a bill Monday that would codify the proposed DOT rule. The Cash Refunds for Flight Cancellations Act goes even further than the DOT proposal by giving travelers the option to get a cash refund as long as they cancel their flight 48 hours before departure, the Hill reported. | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/new-dot-rule-could-make-air-travel-less-hellish-how-it-could-help-you/ | 2022-08-12T14:42:26Z | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/new-dot-rule-could-make-air-travel-less-hellish-how-it-could-help-you/ | true |

As details about failures of the police response to the school massacre in Uvalde, Texas, have trickled out through leaks and incomplete official reviews, it's still not clear more than two months later to what extent any of the agencies involved are investigating individual and systemic mistakes in the response to the most deadly US campus shooting in nearly a decade.
Residents, policing experts, other law enforcement officials, state leaders and lawmakers all have criticized police from more than 20 agencies on scene that day for the delay in confronting a spree shooter who was in classrooms at Robb Elementary for more than an hour with 21 people he fatally shot and 17 others injured.
Officials representing agencies involved in the immediate response largely have avoided talking about their internal investigations -- if acknowledging them at all -- including whether their goals include discipline for officers or others, or a focus on how similar incidents could be handled better, or both. Also not entirely clear are steps they may be taking to minimize potential bias as they investigate themselves.
Officials with the city of Uvalde and the state of Texas since mid-July have said they're reviewing their police departments in light of the May 24 mass killing, with the city placing its acting chief that day on leave. School district officials have put the chief of their own separate police department on leave as they consider firing him and briefly suspended the Robb Elementary principal.
Still, frustration and anger have mounted in this grieving community. With the gunman dead at the hands of law enforcement -- albeit after 77 minutes in the school -- getting a full and true picture of what happened that day, along with consequences for police, are seen as tangible vehicles to justice in the face of so much lost life.
At Uvalde school district and city council meetings this week, community members again pressed their elected officials on why officers at the school that day haven't been relegated to desk duty or fired. The school district superintendent also was asked why he had not sought an independent investigation into the tragedy, and the mayor was pressed on how and why the city chose an Austin, Texas, investigator to lead its internal review.
"We have yet, almost three months later, to hear any answers or to see any accountability from anybody at any level -- from law enforcement officers, to campus staff, to central office and beyond," Uvalde resident Diana Olvedo-Karau told the school board. "And we just don't understand why. I mean, how can we lose 19 children and two teachers tragically, just horribly, and not have anybody yet be accountable."
"It's approaching three months, and we are still being placated with tidbits or being outright stonewalled or being given excuses" about the city police department's response, said resident Michele Prouty, who passed out complaint forms against Uvalde police at Tuesday's city council meeting. "What we have instead -- what we are traumatized again and again by -- is an inept, unstructured national embarrassment of a circus tent full of smug clowns. These clowns continue to cruise our streets sporting their tarnished badges."
A looming US Department of Justice after-action report has perhaps the strongest chance of giving a clear understanding of how the day's horrific events unfolded, experts who spoke to CNN said. Such reports tend to home in on opportunities for improvement, while discipline typically must be backed by precise allegations that would hold up if challenged by an officer or subject to court hearings or arbitration processes.
But it's not clear precisely what parameters those who are overseeing reviews of the city and school district police departments are using to identify systemic failures or root out findings that could lead to discipline for officers.
The Texas Department of Public Safety has said its wide-ranging internal review could result in referrals to an inspector general. The agency also is conducting the criminal investigation into the Uvalde massacre itself -- probing details such as how the shooter got his guns and his online communications before the attack -- separate from the internal review of its officers' conduct at Robb Elementary. Part of that work, it has said, is "examining the actions of every member of (a) law enforcement agency that day." But it's not clear whether officers are cooperating with the inquiry.
The district attorney reviewing the criminal investigation, Christina Mitchell Busbee, said she would "seek an indictment on a law enforcement officer for a criminal offense, when appropriate, under the laws of Texas." But it's not clear under what law any officer might be charged or whether evidence so far supports charges.
Meantime, how Texas DPS has cast its own role in the tragedy already has come under scrutiny. Its officers were at Robb Elementary earlier than previously known -- and longer than Texas DPS has publicly acknowledged -- materials reviewed by CNN show, with at least one DPS trooper seen running toward the school, taking cover behind a vehicle and then running toward an entrance within 2-1/2 minutes of the shooter entering. The agency's director instead publicly has focused on when the first DPS agent entered the hallway where classrooms were under attack.
Further, a Texas DPS spokesperson who made three phone calls to a DPS sergeant inside the school during the 70-plus minutes officers waited to confront the gunman later gave journalists a narrative that quickly unraveled. Since then, news organizations, including CNN, have sued the Texas DPS for access to public records related to the massacre.
Amid the inconsistencies, the head of the state's largest police union, along with a senior state lawmaker, have questioned Texas DPS's ability to investigate itself. "I don't know that we can trust them to do an internal investigation," Charley Wilkison, executive director of the Combined Law Enforcement Associations of Texas, told CNN.
"It would be best if the investigation were headed up by an outside independent source that the public can have total confidence in," said Wilkison, whose union represents law enforcement officers across the state, including some in Uvalde.
So far, three ranking public officials have been placed on leave over the botched emergency response to the shooting:
• Mariano Pargas, the Uvalde Police Department lieutenant who served as acting chief of the city's police force on the day of the fatal shootings, was put on administrative leave with pay in mid-July while it's determined whether he should have assumed command, and each of the 25 officers in the city department who responded that day is under investigation, officials have said. Pargas is the only city employee on leave following the massacre, the mayor told CNN on Tuesday. Pargas has not responded publicly to the claim, including requests this week from CNN.
• Pete Arredondo, chief of the school district's five-person police department at the time of the massacre, was placed on unpaid leave, with the district considering whether to fire him. Two state reports -- one an investigative report by a Texas House of Representatives committee and the other by a police training center based at a public university -- faulted the law enforcement response, with Arredondo as the ranking officer at the scene; he's said he did not see himself as incident commander. His leave began June 22, and school officials have not commented on the status of the other officers who were there that day.
• Mandy Gutierrez, the school's principal, was suspended with pay in late July after the legislative panel found the school had a "culture of noncompliance" with safety policies to keep doors locked at all times. She has disputed this assessment. After three days, the district reinstated Gutierrez as principal. Roughly a week after that, Gutierrez accepted a new role as the Uvalde school district's assistant director of special education.
City reveals its probe after scathing legislative report
The Texas state House report released July 17 showed a complete breakdown in the "chaotic" law enforcement response to the shooting, describing police actions that day as "lackadaisical," with "obvious deficiencies of command and control" and with heavy reliance on "inaccurate information."
The report identified 23 agencies that had personnel at the scene, with Uvalde city and school district police among the first to arrive. Among those Uvalde Police Department officers who waited for direction and resources were two sergeants with a combined 320 hours of SWAT training during their shared 33 years in law enforcement, state records show. The sergeants, including the department's SWAT commander, had also received active shooter training.
Despite that heavy presence, the first public mention of an investigation into police action by the city of Uvalde didn't come until hours after the legislative report dropped. The revelation was made July 17 as the city announced it had put Pargas on leave and Uvalde Mayor Don McLaughlin released body-worn camera footage from seven officers who responded to the school. (Even nearly two months after the killing spree and as his furious constituents had packed public meetings to demand accountability for the dead fourth-graders and their teachers, the mayor cast the video release as a model of transparency he achieved after struggling with city attorneys who he said for legal reasons wanted to keep the tapes private).
It's not clear whether any internal city investigation was underway between the May 24 massacre and the announcement of the internal investigation, though best practices for investigations dictate they usually begin as close to the incident as possible.
Then at a July 26 city council meeting, city officials said they'd hired the firm of Jesse Prado, a former Austin police homicide detective, to lead their review. Council members said their investigator should finish his work within two months, then Prado will make recommendations -- possibly including disciplinary actions -- to the council.
"If there's any officer that's in violation of any policy or procedure that they needed to act on and did not and might have caused these children to die, these teachers to die, I can assure you, heads are going to roll," Uvalde City Councilmember Hector Luevano said during the session. Prado declined to comment for this story.
City officials, meantime, have refused for nearly two weeks to answer questions about their review of officers' actions that day. Tarski Law, listed on the city council's website as city attorney, also declined to comment and referred questions to Gina Eisenberg, president of a public relations firm that specializes in "crisis communications" and was hired by the city to field media requests. Eisenberg said the city would not comment. McLaughlin, the mayor, said Tuesday he couldn't characterize the city's relationship with Eisenberg, who hired her or who is paying her bill, saying, "I don't know anything about her. I have nothing to do with it."
Eisenberg also declined to answer questions about the city police department review process. McLaughlin was certain such a process existed but wasn't aware of related procedures, he told CNN on Tuesday. The internal investigation led by Prado was launched August 1, Eisenberg said. The city attorney chose Prado for the job without a bidding process and based on word-of-mouth recommendations, the mayor told CNN; Tarski Law referred CNN to Eisenberg, who wouldn't provide a copy of its contract with Prado's firm, explain what the department's internal affairs process was before the shooting or say whether that process was used at any time before Prado was hired. Eisenberg said the city would not release further information or comment.
The full scope of Prado's investigation also isn't clear -- whether he's conducting an after-action review meant to identify failures for future understanding or investigating specific allegations of broken rules in response to internal complaints, or some hybrid. Prado will have "free range to take the investigation wherever the investigation takes him," McLaughlin told CNN on Tuesday. While it's unlikely Prado's source materials will be released, the mayor said, he vowed to make Prado's report public after first sharing it with victims' families -- "if I have any say in it."
"When we see that report, whatever it tells us we need to do and changes we need to make -- if it tells us we need to let people go or whatever it tells us -- then that's what we will do," McLaughlin told CNN.
With 25 officers under investigation, it's not clear if Prado's firm alone is capable of handling such a wide-ranging investigation. He's listed as the owner/investigator of the firm and is the only investigator listed at its website. Eisenberg wouldn't say what evidence, videos and statements will be made available to Prado or if he will have the power to interview officers, adding the city would not release further information or comment.
The city has released all the body-worn camera video it has, McLaughlin told CNN on Tuesday, leaving unclear whether its other 18 responding officers wore cameras that day or turned them on. The mayor wasn't sure if any city police dash-mounted cameras captured the law enforcement response, he said. The released videos were edited to remove hallway footage when Border Patrol agents entered the classroom, and it's not clear whether they were edited to remove footage at the beginning that may shed more light on what officers knew as they approached the building. Eisenberg said the city would not release further information or comment.
The mayor met with families in early August to talk about the internal review. Meanwhile, on the streets of this city of about 15,000, some residents -- for the first time in their lives -- fear those sworn to protect them.
"This is my home and I want to die here. But I feel uncomfortable when I see a police officer," said Uvalde native Matty Myers before Tuesday's city council session. "They need to be accountable. You guys need to do something as soon as possible so that we can feel secure and safe here in our home in Uvalde."
Top school district leaders put on leave
As Arredondo, who's said he did not consider himself the incident commander at the massacre scene, remains on unpaid leave -- with his termination or resignation possible -- it's not clear whether the separate school district police department's four other officers have been subject to any internal review. Two school board hearings to consider firing Arredondo have been delayed: on July 23, then August 4 "due to a scheduling conflict," according to the school district. Three future dates have been proffered to Arredondo's attorney, Superintendent Hal Harrell said during Monday's school board meeting.
Still, anger overflowed at the meeting as Arredondo's fate was discussed, with one woman shouting, "I don't want him to walk away with a penny."
"We're doing it right ... to make sure that when it's done, it's done correctly and there's nothing that's going to come back and bite us back later," replied Luis Fernandez, the school board president. The police department run by the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District is overseen by the seven-member elected school board and is separate from the city's police department, which is overseen by Uvalde city government.
Arredondo was elected to the Uvalde City Council weeks before the massacre but resigned from that panel about a month after the mass killing, writing he wanted "to minimize further distractions." Other school district officers who were at Robb Elementary that day have been seen back at work, including providing security at school board meetings. Some parents have asked them how, if they were at the scene of the deadly attack, they could be trusted again.
Asked Monday if he'd considered an independent investigation into the school district police department's response to the mass shooting, Harrell, the district's top executive, said: "I have not, but I'll look into that."
Whether any other educational staff besides Gutierrez, the principal, were investigated or placed on leave also is unclear. District officials didn't respond to requests for comment. In responding to the gunfire, Gutierrez believes she "followed the training that I was provided to the best of my abilities," she told CNN in an exclusive interview. "And I will second-guess myself for the rest of my life."
But Javier Cazares, whose daughter was killed inside Robb Elementary, called the principal's reinstatement a "slap in the face." Cazares' daughter, Jacklyn Cazares, was 9 years old. "Being the person in charge, she should've made sure that school was safe, and she failed at her job -- bottom line. It goes to show you how Uvalde works: They will do anything to protect themselves and forget the children," Cazares told CNN in late July. "No one wants to be responsible for their actions and inaction, and it makes me sick."
Uvalde school officials during Monday's tense, two-hour school board meeting detailed efforts to improve security across the school district. The plan includes hiring an interim police chief to audit the department and assigning 33 Texas DPS troopers, Harrell said.
But for at least one parent, more police is not the answer.
"I told my son that we are going to have extra cops there, you know, and he said, 'But who cares about the cops? They are not going to do anything anyway. They are not going to go in anyway,'" Adam Martinez told the board. "That's the children speaking to y'all. And I would expect somebody to try and change that perception."
After the meeting, Fernandez said he had to check with legal counsel before answering any more questions from CNN. Harrell referred any questions to the school district's communications director, who asked CNN to resend questions by email; she did not immediately respond.
Trust erodes in state law enforcement agency
The day after the release of the state House report and the city of Uvalde's body-worn camera footage, Texas DPS announced that the prior week it had launched an internal review into the police response in Uvalde. An internal committee would review the "actions of every DPS Trooper, Officer, Agent and Ranger," an agency spokesperson said, declining to answer questions about it.
The department's internal review would precede any potential referrals of officers to an inspector general, DPS Director Col. Steven McCraw added August 4. "Every one of our officers will undergo scrutiny by the DA and an internal investigation. Just because they didn't violate the law, doesn't mean they acted appropriately based on our policy," he testified during a hearing about the release of records.
However, inconsistencies in the agency's own telling of its officers' role at Robb Elementary have already cast doubt over whatever the review might conclude. Information about the Texas DPS response also has been sought from the agency by the FBI under a public records law typically used by reporters and citizens. It's not clear why the FBI went through that process, and the agency declined to comment. CNN got a copy of the FBI's inquiry through a records request.
One example of conflicting facts from Texas DPS involves body-worn camera footage released by Uvalde city officials. It appears to show at least one DPS trooper in the first wave of officers who approached the school -- minutes earlier than Texas DPS officials had publicly acknowledged.
Until early August, McCraw had only reported -- in testimony before the state Senate and in written timelines released by his office -- a trooper first entered the school at 11:42 a.m., about nine minutes after the shooter walked in. But the body-worn camera footage shows a DPS trooper already at the building's west entrance about five minutes earlier. And other footage shows another trooper outside the school more than two minutes before that, taking cover behind a vehicle and then running toward an entrance.
Texas state Sen. Roland Gutierrez even before those details came to light had questioned Texas DPS's ability to investigate itself. "DPS has trafficked in misinformation and prevented the disclosure of public information to Uvalde families. Can Texans trust this state agency to investigate itself? I surely cannot," Gutierrez, who is not related to the principal, wrote July 19 to the lieutenant governor.
Further, a Texas DPS spokesperson who during the siege had three phone calls with an agency supervisor inside the school gave a public accounting of the police response the next day praising law enforcement. But the story soon fell apart amid reporters' scrutiny and outrage from parents and relatives of the victims. The supervisor, among the first wave of police to arrive at Robb Elementary, had three phone calls with Lt. Christopher Olivarez in the more than 70 minutes after law enforcement arrived but before they killed the shooter, call logs later obtained by CNN show.
The logs show Olivarez called the supervisor at noon, 12:13 p.m., and 12:18 p.m. on May 24 but do not reveal the duration or content of each call. Olivarez went on to tell reporters the gunman was killed by officers who "place(d) their own lives between the shooter and those children to try and prevent any further loss of life" and said an officer was shot while entering the classroom in which the shooter had barricaded himself.
Conflicting details soon emerged, however, confirming officers never appeared to have tried to open the door of the classroom while waiting in the hallway for more than an hour. The House investigative report cast doubt on whether the door ever was locked, citing apparent common knowledge the lock didn't work. The House report also noted the shooter fired on officers as they entered but not that any were shot.
Still, Texas DPS spokesperson Travis Considine insisted in late July to CNN that McCraw's testimony about when a trooper entered the school hallway was accurate and "our internal committee is currently reviewing whether or not those individuals violated any department policies or doctrine." The agency declined to respond to repeated questions about the phone calls between Olivarez and the supervisor.
While it's unclear when any of the reviews of law enforcement's response to the Uvalde massacre will wrap up, the Texas DPS probe -- like the others -- could have implications for its own and other officers, raising the stakes for how impartially and transparently it's handled. As with the other probes, too, how it's conducted and what it concludes will impact what closure families of the slain in this small, tortured city can receive.
Texas DPS "was fast to wash its hands, to point fingers and to make sure that the general public, particularly the elected officials, knew that they were spotless, blameless and that this was a local problem," said Wilkison, the police union chief. "No one created this environment, (in) which everyone's to blame except DPS. No one did that except them. If we're to never, ever let this happen in Texas, we have to know what happened, exactly what happened."
And so as a new school year is set to start September 6 in Uvalde -- with Robb Elementary students at different sites -- this community continues to scrutinize Texas DPS and to pack school board and city council meetings to decry the dearth of formal consequences for officers or agencies that responded to the May slaughter. Speaking to the school board this week, Olvedo-Karau said: "We have dead children and no accountability."

A debate is underway in the House of Representatives on the Inflation Reduction Act, which passed in the Senate by a straight party-line vote on August 7.
After debating the bill, the House will take a vote on the bill. Democrats will need to hold nearly their entire caucus together as Republicans have united in opposition to the bill.
Democratic lawmakers estimate that the legislation would reduce the federal deficit by $369 billion over the next 10 years by closing taxing loopholes, bolstering Internal Revenue Service enforcement and executing a minimum 15% corporate tax.
In return, the legislation would supply $369 billion in spending to address climate change and an additional $64 billion to grow the Affordable Care Act.
Much of the GOP opposition to the bill has been to a provision for the hiring of additional IRS agents. Republicans have claimed the additional agents would be used to audit low and middle-income Americans.
The White House has pushed back on that, claiming that those earning less than $400,000 a year would not be any more likely to face an audit.
Assuming Democrats can hold their slim majority in the House, President Joe Biden, who supports the legislation, would sign it into law. | https://www.ksby.com/news/national/house-democrats-poised-to-send-inflation-reduction-act-to-president-bidens-desk | 2022-08-12T14:51:57Z | https://www.ksby.com/news/national/house-democrats-poised-to-send-inflation-reduction-act-to-president-bidens-desk | false |
ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) – Struggling New York State families will be getting some help with their back-to-school expenses, thanks to a $44.4 million federal pandemic grant to the state. Administered by the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA), the Pandemic Emergency Assistance Fund will provide New Yorkers on Public Assistance with one-time payments of $214 for each child ages three to 17 and $150 for each child younger than three in their household.
Starting Aug. 12, OTDA will issue one-time payments of $214 to Public Assistance recipients who have a child between the ages of three and 17. In total, the agency will distribute about $39.3 million, which will provide benefits for roughly 184,000 children.
Simultaneously, OTDA will be handing out $150 to Public Assistance households for each child that is three years old or younger to help with infant nutrition costs. The agency anticipates distributing just over $5 million to about 34,300 eligible children.
“Hardworking New York families are still feeling the economic toll of the pandemic,” Governor Kathy Hochul said. “As New Yorkers prepare to send their children back to school this fall, these one-time payments will help struggling families across the state pay for education supplies and other household expenses that may otherwise pose a burden on their household budget.”
The Pandemic Emergency Assistance Fund was created as part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 with the intention to help needy families impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Per federal guidelines, the funding must be used for issuing non-recurring benefits to impacted households with children to deal with a specific short-term situation or need.
Public Assistance provides monthly grants to help low-income individuals and families meet basic needs, such as housing. This program helps more than 500,000 New Yorkers who may be temporarily unemployed or unable to work, as well as very low-wage workers and their children. | https://www.localsyr.com/news/state-news/struggling-ny-families-to-get-back-to-school-boost/ | 2022-08-12T14:53:44Z | https://www.localsyr.com/news/state-news/struggling-ny-families-to-get-back-to-school-boost/ | true |

DO YOU AGREE!!! Government Officials Must Be Treated In Nigeria, They Should Die Here – Falana Protests
Rights activist Femi Falana has echoed his demand that all government officials be treated in Nigeria.
The legal leading light reiterated his position on Thursday at the first anniversary of the late Mohammed Fawehinmi Lecture in Lagos.
Falana said the country needed a law barring all public office holders from going overseas for medical care.
“Anybody who holds public office must be treated in Nigeria for any health challenge.
“Public office holders must die here. Enough of health tourism”,
NAN quoted him saying.
The lawyer hailed Vice President Yemi Osinbajo for undergoing knee surgery at a hospital in Lagos.
On the 2023 elections, Falana charged citizens to question presidential flagbearers on the nation’s problems.
He said the candidates should be asked to provide their solutions regarding the health and education sectors, insecurity, economy, among others.
“I don’t care which party you belong to; what is important is that people should ask questions and reject the high living conditions”,
Falana added. | https://www.naijaloaded.com.ng/news/do-you-agree-government-officials-must-be-treated-in-nigeria-they-should-die-here-falana-protests | 2022-08-12T15:08:41Z | https://www.naijaloaded.com.ng/news/do-you-agree-government-officials-must-be-treated-in-nigeria-they-should-die-here-falana-protests | false |
Megan Thee Stallion went on an emotional rollercoaster while writing songs for her newest album, Traumazine.
The "Hot Girl Summer" rapper, 27, shared that she broke down in tears while writing her album as she recalled all the traumatic experiences she's gone through over the last few years.
"I was crying more so writing the songs than recording the songs," she explained on SiriusXM's The Morning Mash Up Aug. 12. "It kind of felt like a weight off my chest a little bit, actually saying some of these things out loud. But yeah, it felt good to say it out loud and I feel like it feels good to have people understand where I'm coming from. ‘Cause so many people could tell my story.
She added, "So many people got something to say about me that don't even know me, but I'm like, ‘Okay, well how about this? Let me put a little bit of my feelings in my music.' And then, you know, you can see where I'm coming from."
Megan's been through a lot since rising to fame in 2019 with her hit song "Big Ole Freak."
That March, the Houston native shared that her mother and manager, Holly Thomas, had passed away after battling a cancerous brain tumor. "The best mom in the whole world. The strongest woman on the planet," Megan captioned a throwback photo of her and her mom in a March 2019 Instagram post. "I can't even put complete sentences together rn RIP mama."
Then, in July 2020, Megan alleged that her then-boyfriend, rapper Tory Lanez, shot her in the foot during a dispute that took place after leaving a party in the Hollywood Hills. Tory has denied Megan's claims and he pleaded not guilty to the assault and weapons charges related to the incident. His trial is slated to being in September 2022.
Megan recently got emotional while recalling the events that led up to the tragic shooting.
"It was an argument because I was ready to go and everybody else wasn't ready to go," the "WAP" rapper told CBS Mornings April 25. "So, I get out of the car and it's like everything happens so fast. And all I hear is this man screaming. And he said, 'Dance, bitch.' And he started shooting. And I'm just like, 'Oh, my God.'"

OXON HILL, Md. — Experiencing the sweet taste of success isn't too much of a stretch at The Furlough Cheesecake.
"The world is reopening," said Jaqi Thompson, who along with her sister, Nikki Thomspon Howard, owns the cheesecake shop.
The Thompson sisters know a thing or two about navigating the choppy waters of small business ownership.
"I think that that was a blessing and that helped propel us to keep on moving," Nikki Thompson Howard said.
We first met the duo when they started The Furlough Cheesecake, which was initially born when the two former government employees found themselves furloughed during the government shutdown several years ago.
"Sometimes I still wake up and say, ‘What am I doing?,’” Jaqi said. “Honestly, being career government workers, you know, you can be programmed into doing a certain routine all the time."
Yet, they took a risk and started their small business first online, only to then face the pandemic right as they opened their first storefront at National Harbor in Maryland.
"We started during adversity,” Nikki said.” We came through the pandemic."
They managed to stay open throughout, but not everyone did.
In 2020, at the start of the pandemic, 41% of Black-owned businesses in the U.S. closed either temporarily or permanently, according to researchers at UC Santa Cruz.
Now, they say that's changing with Black-owned businesses experiencing the strongest rebound compared to those of other racial or ethnic groups. The number of Black-owned businesses in the U.S. is up 38%, while for Hispanics, it is up 15%. Businesses owned by Asians are down 2% and those owned by whites are down 3%.
"Over the life existence of Blacks in America, we've demonstrated great resolve, notwithstanding the turmoil and the ongoing headwinds that we encounter," said John Harmon, who heads up the African American Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey, part of a network of national Black Chambers of Commerce.
Researchers say what helped make a difference is the support Black small business owners experienced with so-called "Buy Black Owned" grassroots efforts.
"Blacks rallied together, leveraged their $1.4 trillion spend, that we spend annually, and in 2024 is projected by Nielsen to be $1.8 trillion,” Harmon said. “So, what it demonstrated is that, when we have to, we can unite and when we get laser-focus our excellence is exemplified."
Back at The Furlough Cheesecake, the Thompson sisters said they experienced that support first-hand.
"Our family and friends - when we say it's a community effort, it is really a community effort," Nikki said.
Something they have worked through with their trademark humor and wisdom.
"But we bounce back!" Nikki said.
"Like a rubber band," Jaqi added, "but that hurts sometimes when you bounce back."
"It does," Nikki agreed.
“Because it smacks!" they said together.
"We have learned how to weather the storm," Nikki said.
Now, they and other small business owners are looking forward to clearer skies ahead. | https://www.3newsnow.com/news/national/black-owned-business-experiencing-rebound-from-pandemic-lows | 2022-08-12T15:15:24Z | https://www.3newsnow.com/news/national/black-owned-business-experiencing-rebound-from-pandemic-lows | true |
Travel Insurance and Assistance Provider to Exhibit at its First GBTA Conference
RICHMOND, Va., Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Allianz Partners USA, a leader in travel insurance and travel assistance, will exhibit at the Global Business Travel Association convention scheduled for August 14 to 17 in San Diego. This is Allianz Partners' first time exhibiting at the annual conference, which is expected to draw thousands of travel industry professionals at its 53rd iteration. The company is attending the event to provide information to attendees on travel protection products that offer travel brands increased customer satisfaction and brand loyalty as well as significant opportunities for ancillary revenue.
Travel protection has become increasingly important to both businesses and their traveling employees as the COVID pandemic has increased attention on the corporate duty of care for travelers as well as the increased trend in "bleisure" travel. A 2021 survey of business travelers and travel managers found that almost a third of business travelers (31 percent) would ask to limit travel if their company does not implement policies or measures to help protect their health and safety and 89 percent say they will add personal vacation time to their business trips over the next 12 months.
Travel protection products* from Allianz Partners can provide protection against financial losses that result from trips that are canceled or interrupted due to a reason covered by the policy, as well as provide coverage for medical emergencies while on your trip. Allianz's 24/7 travel assistance team can help with almost any travel-related problem, including health and safety issues. The company's medical assistance team can help arrange emergency medical transportation if deemed necessary, consult with a traveler's treating medical professional to make sure the patient receives appropriate care, relay updates to family members and more.
"We're thrilled to be exhibiting at the 2022 Global Business Travel Association's annual convention," said Richard Aquino, Vice President and Head of Sales at Allianz Partners USA. "Since the pandemic began in 2020, travel protection has risen to the top of traveler checklists. We look forward to meeting with industry professionals who want to learn more about how we can protect business travelers' trips."
Allianz Partners offers a number of different products to match the needs of travelers, including per trip and annual insurance products. Some products include coverage for rental car damage or theft.
Allianz Partners is located at booth 2050, directly across from the SkyTeam + Delta Partners booth.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police in suburban Portland, Oregon, said Thursday they arrested a crime ring leader responsible for trafficking more than 44,000 catalytic converters stolen from vehicles on the West Coast since 2021.
Detectives said they identified Brennan Doyle, 32, as the leader of the operation and searched his Lake Oswego home last week, along with seven other properties. The detectives seized over 3,000 catalytic converters hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, a high-end car and jewelry, Oregon Public Broadcasting reported.
Doyle and his associates are accused of stealing catalytic converters from vehicles along the West Coast, Beaverton police spokesperson Matt Henderson said. The crime ring was centered around Portland, but spanned multiple Oregon counties as well as Washington state, Nevada, California, Texas and New York, he said.
The metals inside catalytic converters can sell for thousands of dollars per ounce. The street value of the parts stolen and trafficked was estimated to be over $22 million.
The crime ring shipped boxes of converters to the East Coast and internationally, Henderson said. Dozens, if not hundreds, of people may have been involved in the operation, he added, but declined to share more details because the investigation is ongoing.
Doyle was indicted on 72 different charges, including racketeering, aggravated theft, and money laundering. Police say one of his associates, Tanner Hellbusch of Beaverton, was caught with over 100 catalytic converters in March. He was indicted on 20 similar counts. It wasn’t immediately known if they have lawyers to comment on the case.
At least 12 other people face charges in connection within the operation, police said. | https://www.wjhl.com/news/national/cops-oregon-crime-ring-moved-22m-in-catalytic-converters/ | 2022-08-12T15:16:19Z | https://www.wjhl.com/news/national/cops-oregon-crime-ring-moved-22m-in-catalytic-converters/ | true |

BALTIMORE (AP) — Tyler Huntley went 16 of 18 for 110 yards and a touchdown in the first half, and the Baltimore Ravens extended their record streak of preseason victories to 21 with a 23-10 win over the Tennessee Titans on Thursday night.
Rookie quarterback Malik Willis ran for a touchdown for the Titans, but Huntley put Baltimore ahead to stay with a 14-yard scoring strike to Shemar Bridges in the final minute of the second quarter.
Bridges, an undrafted rookie out of Fort Valley State, had four catches for 62 yards.
“I like Shemar,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “He’s a big, physical guy. He goes up and gets the ball, he posts a lot of good speeds in practice, he plays hard on special teams in practice.”
Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry were among the standouts who didn’t play Thursday. Huntley was Jackson’s top backup last season and made four starts. He was sharp in this preseason opener, although his completions were mostly short ones.
“Tyler played great. His numbers were off the charts,” Harbaugh said. “He really ran the offense well. Timing was really good in the passing game. I thought the o-line looked pretty good.”
Willis, a third-round draft pick from Liberty, started the game for the Titans with Ryan Tannehill held out. Willis scored on a nifty 7-yard run in the second quarter, spinning back toward the Tennessee sideline and then slipping past a couple Baltimore defenders near the goal line.
Willis went 6 of 11 for 107 yards and ran for 38 yards on five carries.
“He needs to try to throw the ball when guys are open, be more decisive,” coach Mike Vrabel said. “Wanted to get him out there and wanted to see how he responded. He did OK.”
Safety Kyle Hamilton, a first-round pick this year by the Ravens, recovered a fumble by Julius Chestnut at the Tennessee 22. Baltimore converted that short field, taking a 7-0 lead on a 4-yard touchdown run by Mike Davis.
The Titans led 10-7 before Huntley guided a 10-play, 58-yard touchdown drive near the end of the half. Then Justin Tucker added three field goals in the second half.
Logan Woodside took over at quarterback for Tennessee in the third quarter and was intercepted twice, including one underthrown pass that Daryl Worley picked off at the Baltimore 2.
Anthony Brown relieved Huntley and went 10 of 15 for 117 yards for the Ravens. Brett Hundley also played a bit toward the end.
Baltimore hasn’t lost a preseason game since Atlanta beat the Ravens 20-19 on Sept. 3, 2015.
INJURIES
Baltimore WR Tylan Wallace and Tennessee CB Chris Jackson left with knee injuries.
NEWCOMERS SHINE
The Ravens drafted Jordan Stout to replace longtime punter Sam Koch. Stout averaged 47.8 yards on four punts Thursday.
Tight end Isaiah Likely, another Baltimore rookie, had four catches for 44 yards, although he also had a couple holding penalties.
“I probably had a jitter or two pregame, because you look around, and the stadium fits around 70,000?” Likely said. “You’ve just got to look around and really smile, get a jitter out, and then you got to realize it’s football.”
MID-DRIVE CHANGE
The Titans replaced Willis with Woodside in the middle of Tennessee’s first offensive drive of the second half — immediately after Willis gained 17 yards on a scramble.
“I wanted Malik to throw the ball,” Vrabel said. “And he wasn’t.”
IN MEMORY
The crowd in Baltimore observed a moment of silence before the game in honor of linebacker Jaylon Ferguson and former defensive lineman Tony Siragusa, both of whom died in June.

Guardiola confirms City will sign defender Gomez from Anderlecht
Aug 12 (Reuters) - Manchester City will sign Spanish defender Sergio Gomez from Belgian club Anderlecht, manager Pep Guardiola said on Friday as the Premier League champions look to address their lack of depth in the left back position.
After Ukrainian international Oleksander Zinchenko moved to Arsenal, City began their title defence with Portugal's Joao Cancelo as their only senior left back.
Midfielder-turned-left back Gomez, 21, will compete for a place in the first team, Guardiola told reporters, after impressing at Anderlecht under former City captain Vincent Kompany last season.
"He's a talented young player from the Barcelona academy, went to Borussia Dortmund but didn't have many minutes and in the last year was given a chance by Kompany," Guardiola said. "He played well, we targeted him to bring him here."
Gomez played 30 times for Anderlecht since joining them in June 2021. He has also represented Spain at youth level, including at the Under-17 World Cup in 2017 where they lost to England in the final.
British media reported City and Anderlecht had agreed a deal worth an initial 11 million pounds ($13.33 million) for Gomez.
"He's an exceptional player," Guardiola added. "He's going to stay with us, alongside Joao."
Guardiola said new signing Kalvin Phillips, who made his Premier League debut as a substitute in last week's win over West Ham, will not feature in Saturday's home game against Bournemouth due to injury.
"Kalvin has some niggles and won't be able (to play)," said Guardiola, adding that young midfielder Cole Palmer is also a doubt after suffering a knock on his foot.
Newly promoted Bournemouth began their season with a 2-0 victory over Aston Villa and Guardiola heaped praise on Scott Parker's side, who secured a Premier League spot after finishing as runners-up in the second-tier Championship.
"I have a lot of respect for Scott Parker, the patterns are so clear," Guardiola said. "They make quite a good press, they are progressive... Like all teams in the Championship, they have good set pieces.
"It's so tricky (to face promoted teams early). The first few games they are so dangerous. They don't feel the pressure, they still feel good from the previous season, they have nothing to lose."

HOUSTON (AP) — Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker returned Thursday for the finale of a series against the Texas Rangers following a five-game absence after testing positive for COVID-19.
The 73-year-old Baker said he never felt bad and had only mild symptoms that he attributed to seasonal allergies before testing positive.
“I’m very fortunate that I had both my shots and the two boosters,” he said. “So, I’m really hoping that everybody goes and gets the shots and boosters, because if you do get (COVID-19) hopefully it’s mild like mine was.”
Baker tested positive on Friday when the team was on a road trip in Cleveland. He isolated in his hotel room all weekend and did not return to Houston with the team on Sunday night.
He returned to Houston on a private jet Monday but wasn’t cleared to return to the dugout until Thursday.
At first, Baker welcomed the rest amid a hectic season in which he didn’t get any time off during the All-Star break because he was the manager of the AL squad. But after a couple of days, boredom set in.
“I listened to music all day, watched TV, made phone calls and caught up on things,” he said. “I don’t get bored, but after five or six days you want to get back out here.”
He kept up with the team by watching the games on television and staying in constant contact with bench coach Joe Espada, who managed the team in his absence. He didn’t watch one game — Sunday’s 1-0 loss to Cleveland — because it was broadcast on Peacock, NBC’s streaming service, and he couldn’t figure out how to watch it in his hotel room.
He wasn’t that mad about it, though, because he used the extra time to catch a Bob Marley documentary on Netflix while keeping up with the game on his phone.
“That was a pretty good afternoon,” he said, adding that he saw the late reggae great in concert twice, including once in Jamaica.
Baker said he was never that concerned about testing positive despite being in a high-risk age bracket.
“Not really because I didn’t feel anything,” he said. “And I kept waiting to feel something.”
The Astros, who at 71-41 began Thursday tied with the Yankees for the best record in the American League, went 2-3 while Baker was out.

Here’s a collection curated by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists of what’s arriving on TV, streaming services and music platforms this week.
MOVIES
— In the almost 25 years since Princess Diana died, there has never been any shortage of content examining the enormous impact and intrigue of her short life. But a new documentary from director Ed Perkins, “The Princess,” which debuted earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival and is available on HBO (and HBO Max) on Wednesday, turns the lens back on us. The film doesn’t have any talking heads or voiceover, but instead uses only archival footage to tell a different kind of story. It is a meditative, transportive experience that is surprisingly effective.
— Two of this summer’s most delightful theatrical releases “Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris” and “Mr. Malcolm’s List” are quietly now available to rent on demand and watch from home. The former is a grounded fantasy adorned with mid-century designer lore, featuring Lesley Manville as a post-WWII British housekeeper and widow. She dreams of owning a Christian Dior gown and must travel to Paris to get one (and her middle-age Sabrina moment). “Mr. Malcolm’s List,” meanwhile, is an ode to Jane Austen — a Regency-era romance full of gossip, intrigue and high society hijinks starring Freida Pinto, Zawe Ashton and Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù as the titular Mr. Malcolm.
— On the other streamers, Lili Reinhart, of “Riverdale” fame, leads a Netflix pic “Look Both Ways” about a college senior whose life splits into parallel realities on graduation night. In one, she gets pregnant and has to move home to Texas. In another, she heads to Los Angeles to start her career. Co-starring “Top Gun: Maverick’s” Danny Ramierz, “Look Both Ways” hits Netflix on Wednesday. And for those looking for a scare, Paramount+ is debuting “Orphan: First Kill” on Friday, Aug. 19. The film is a prequel to Jaume Collet-Serra’s 2009 horror “Orphan” and follows Esther as she escapes from an Estonian psychiatric facility and makes her way to America.

MUSIC
— Demi Lovato’s next album flirts with NSFW. “Holy Fvck” is both a track and the title of the 16-song album, out Friday, Aug. 19. “I felt like it was a great, eye-catching title track for the rest of the album,” the pop star told SiriusXM. “And especially because there’s songs on the album that have, like, kind of religious undertones, there’s songs on the album that have this dichotomy of good and bad, and that song kind of represented both.” The album’s first punky single “Skin of My Teeth,” is about Lovato’s struggles with sobriety. “The reaper knocks on my door/’Cause I’m addicted to more,” she sings.
— What did you accomplish during the pandemic? The indie rock band the Mountain Goats released three new studio albums with a fourth on the horizon. That newest album, “Bleed Out,” is set to come out on Friday, Aug. 19 and is described as “a cinematic experience inspired by action films from the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s.” The first single, “Training Montage,” comes with a video that is all manner of silly, with the band doing pushups, running down stairs and riding skateboards. Oh, and while you wait for the album, frontman John Darnielle also managed to release the true-crime novel, “Devil House,” earlier this year.
— Don’t panic, Brendon Urie is back. His band Panic! At The Disco offers the album “Viva Las Vengeance” on Friday, Aug. 19, led by the sugary single “Middle of a Breakup” and the high-energy title track. “‘Viva Las Vengeance’ is a look back at who I was 17 years ago and who I am now with the fondness I didn’t have before. I didn’t realize I was making an album and there was something about the tape machine that kept me honest,” Urie says. It’s Panic’s first music since the 2018 release of “Pray for the Wicked.” You can also catch the band at this year’s MTV VMAs on Aug. 28.

TELEVISION
— The high-stakes drama is off the court in “Legacy: The True Story of the LA Lakers,” a 10-part docuseries debuting Monday on Hulu. The series promises to detail how real estate magnate Jerry Buss’ 1979 acquisition of the team led to its transformation into a championship, multibillion-dollar franchise — business and family conflict included. There’s a Buss connection to the series: Jeanie Buss, his widow and the Lakers CEO and controlling owner, is an executive producer. Filmmaker Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”) directed, with Shaquille O’Neal, Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar among those interviewed.
— Tatiana Maslany won a lead actress Emmy in 2016 for playing some half-dozen characters in “Orphan Black.” A nine-episode Disney+ comedy series set in the Marvel universe gives her two sides of one coin to work with. “She-Hulk: Attorney at Law,” Jennifer Lewis’ career takes a turn after a transfusion from her cousin Bruce Banner, aka the Hulk, makes her a very reluctant superhero and courtroom advocate for her peers. Familiar Marvel faces in the series debuting Thursday, include Mark Ruffalo as Smart Hulk, Tim Roth as Emil Blonsky-the Abomination, and Benedict Wong as Wong.
— It’s been three years-plus since “Game of Thrones” called it a wrap, but who’s counting? The fans who’ve awaited its prequel, “House of the Dragon,” finally arriving Sunday, Aug. 21, on HBO. The story of the House of Targaryen, set two centuries before “Game of Thrones,” is based on George R.R. Martin’s “Fire & Blood.” The cast includes Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen, whom the lords of Westeros picked to succeed his grandfather, and Matt Smith as Prince Daemon Targaryen, his younger brother with “the true blood of the dragon.” Could there possibly be trouble brewing?

WAYNE COUNTY — A judge has set bond for the man accused of shooting Richmond Police Officer Seara Burton at $1 million, online court records show.

Broadridge Financial Solutions (BR) Q4 Earnings Match Estimates
Broadridge Financial Solutions (BR) came out with quarterly earnings of $2.65 per share, in line with the Zacks Consensus Estimate. This compares to earnings of $2.19 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
A quarter ago, it was expected that this technology outsourcing company would post earnings of $1.77 per share when it actually produced earnings of $1.93, delivering a surprise of 9.04%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Broadridge Financial
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Broadridge Financial shares have lost about 7.2% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's decline of -11.7%.
What's Next for Broadridge Financial?
While Broadridge Financial has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Broadridge Financial: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $1 on $1.26 billion in revenues for the coming quarter and $6.98 on $5.96 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Outsourcing is currently in the top 25% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
SRAX (SRAX), another stock in the broader Zacks Business Services sector, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2022.
This company is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.01 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +104.8%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
SRAX's revenues are expected to be $11.01 million, up 43.3% from the year-ago quarter.
Zacks Names "Single Best Pick to Double"
From thousands of stocks, 5 Zacks experts each have chosen their favorite to skyrocket +100% or more in months to come. From those 5, Director of Research Sheraz Mian hand-picks one to have the most explosive upside of all.
It’s a little-known chemical company that’s up 65% over last year, yet still dirt cheap. With unrelenting demand, soaring 2022 earnings estimates, and $1.5 billion for repurchasing shares, retail investors could jump in at any time.
This company could rival or surpass other recent Zacks’ Stocks Set to Double like Boston Beer Company which shot up +143.0% in little more than 9 months and NVIDIA which boomed +175.9% in one year.Free: See Our Top Stock and 4 Runners Up >>

Hoop Camp going on three decades of uplifting players ages 5 to 75
By Nick Krupke
Click here for updates on this story
WASHINGTON COUNTY Oregon (KPTV) — What tipped off in 1994 is still going strong in 2022. Hoop Camp is giving lessons about life and basketball just like it did three decades ago.
FOX 12′s Nick Krupke gives a look at one Washington County camp with more than 100 hoopers ranging in ages from 5 to 75 took another shot at a special place where everyone’s a winner.
The Oregon-based nonprofit Hoop Camp Foundation has always been rooted in volunteers uplifting those life-changing experiences for people living with and without intellectual disabilities.
“Coming out, playing, having some fun and rebounding and defense, shooting the ball, blocking and stuff too,” says camper Caleb. “Real grimy basketball and all that too so it’s just for fun so I am here to be happy.”
The camp was founded back in 1994 by Aloha High School grad Steve Garrity.
“Steve is the man. He’s done everything,” says camper Nick. “Everything he puts into this camp is just a blessing and I am really blessed to be here.”

60-year-old kayaker makes a splash at Malabar River Festival
A coach, Ian Vincent says he helps youngsters excel in the sport
His younger counterparts were awestruck when 60-year-old Ian Vincent, a renowned kayaker and trainer from Australia, splashed down the rapids with his kayak like a kingfisher diving, causing water to splash up in the air.
The way he powered the paddles to navigate the boat and endure the extreme conditions in the rapids while striving to complete the course in the best time was a visual treat for kayaking enthusiasts.
“I just do it for fun as I am too old to win. I am 60 now. How can I beat a 20-year-old counterpart in the rapids who could be of the age of my grandson? I am a coach and I do help youngsters excel in the sport rather than winning the game,” said Mr. Vincent after the final round of his challenging white-water Slalom in the rapids.
He said the slalom rounds were challenging as a portion of his race suit popped up in the impact of diving into the river in some of the rounds, causing interruptions. “I had to put it back and continue paddling to the target,” he said.
For this kayaker who came to India 25 years ago and started working as a coach in Meghalaya, winning the game was hardly a concern. He came to the spot with his wife, who hails from Kerala, and daughter, who is one of the contestants. This is his third time at the Malabar River Festival.
“We are like friends in the kayaking community. We come here from all over the world and different parts of India to feel the friendship. It is really nice to be a part of this community,” said Mr. Vincent.

PHOENIX — U.S. transportation officials announced $2.2 billion for local infrastructure projects on Thursday, paving the way for new bridges, roads, bike lanes, railways and ports in scores of communities across the country.
The competitive grants are more than double the amount awarded the previous year under the same program. The influx comes from a $1 trillion infrastructure law backed by President Joe Biden, which provided an additional $7.5 billion over five years for the grants.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the projects would help modernize America's transportation systems.
"This is a program that recognizes many of the most interesting and compelling ideas and designs and plans aren't going to come from Washington, but more of the funding should," Buttigieg said. "That's what we're delivering here."
Buttigieg traveled to Arizona to highlight projects in Phoenix and Tucson, each of which are receiving the maximum $25 million. In Phoenix, the money will help build a new bike and pedestrian bridge over the Rio Salado, connecting the city's southern area with downtown.
In Tucson, the money will revamp a prominent street and replace a 1960s-era vehicle bridge that's in poor condition. It also will add a separate bicycle and pedestrian bridge as part of what Mayor Regina Romero called "a transformative investment in Tucson's infrastructure."
While the Tucson project will expand the number lanes for motorists, some projects elsewhere will reduce them. For example, a $17 million grant will help narrow a five-lane road to three lanes in the Chicago suburb of Munster, Indiana, in an effort to decrease traffic crashes. The money also will fund a 10-foot-wide multi-purpose path along the street and plant more than 250 trees.
For many road improvement grants, "we're doing it in mind of also benefitting the bike and pedestrian side," Buttigieg said.
Other newly announced projects in the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity program also provide funding for bicycle and pedestrian paths.
Texas and Kansas are each receiving about $25 million for hiking and biking trails. Huntsville, Alabama, is getting $20 million to improve a pedestrian corridor linking downtown to isolated neighborhoods. Another $20 million is helping finance a new bike and pedestrian bridge over the Potomac River between Arlington, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
Buttigieg said the U.S. Department of Transportation received about $13 billion in grant applications.
A total of 166 projects across the country are getting a slice of the $2.2 billion. The funding marks a significant increase from the $983 million distributed among 90 projects in 2021. The allotment is the largest dating to 2009 for a program that has undergone multiple name and emphasis changes during the presidential administrations of Barack Obama and Donald Trump.
Though still substantial, the funding doesn't have quite the buying power as anticipated when the infrastructure legislation passed Congress last year. That's because inflation has driven up the cost of key transportation construction materials, such as steel plates for bridges and asphalt for paving roads.
This year's projects range from a new seawall and port improvements in Sitka, Alaska, to the construction of a four-lane parkway in the Virgin Islands.
Among other projects, New Jersey is getting $20 million to elevate a roadway that serves as a main evacuation route for Atlantic City and its casino industry. In Louisiana, $20 million will go toward the design and construction of two train stations along a planned route between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Whatcom County, Washington, will get $25 million to replace a 60-year-old ferry serving rural Lummi Island with an electric hybrid model.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its China for China strategy, world-famous German sports brand adidas has recently launched a series of localized digital marketing campaigns, including Yeezy Day and Tmall Super Brand Day. Perhaps, the nearly 100-year-old brand, which continues to be one of the most influential and trendy sports brands among young consumer groups, can serve as a good example to answer the above question.
In the world of math, there is a puzzle: Does NP=P? It is an NP-complete problem.
NP refers to a class of problems for which the accuracy of a solution can be effectively verified, while P represents a set of problems for which a solution can be effectively found. The NP-complete problem is all about whether NP problems can be transformed into P problems.
Every consumer brand faces the same NP-complete problem. On the left side of the equation is the question: Is it possible to capture, or, even more importantly, how does one capture the growing cohort of Gen Z consumers? And the problem on the right side seeking a solution is whether digitalization, which serves as the greatest common denominator between brands, is able to make this equation hold true?
To put it simply, what kind of digitalization can enable brands to attract Gen Zers?
Going Digital: Embracing Social Interactions That Appeal the Most to Gen Z
Today, Gen Z is emerging as a new consumer group that cannot go unnoticed. As digital natives, they have grown up in a world where digital technology is ubiquitous, and where their real and virtual lives have become one. On the consumption side, they expect a unique, personalized, customized digital shopping experience, especially in terms of social interactions and immersiveness.
To this end, more and more name brands are embracing the digitally-enabled models of social interaction that are most trendy and popular with younger generations, especially Gen Z, such as the metaverse.
adidas took the interactive route to its utmost extreme. On this year's Tmall Super Brand Day, the top sports brand created a virtual neighborhood based on the metaverse by creating an online queue digital game that provides a virtual queuing experience, coupled with new products to reproduce the sneaker culture.
To add to the experience, based on the 50th anniversary edition of adidas Originals, the sports brand tied up with Taobao Life, an immersive virtual world integrated with China's largest mobile shopping destination, to deploy the new "digital collectibles + physical items" marketing approach and launch the exclusive Gen-Blue Creator Tee, Gen-Blue Creator Classic Shorts and the 50th anniversary edition of Superstar. The three digital collectible set is Taobao Life's first wearable digital collection.
Taobao has also launched the adidas Super Brand Day series of 3D outfits, creating an exclusive meeting place for fans of the adidas brand. adiCLUB members can jump directly to the store to buy what they have just tried on in the virtual world after they are 100% satisfied with how the outfit fits and looks.
The view was expressed that being social, fun and interactive plays a vital role for brands that want to get up close and personal with their young audiences. For Gen Zers, just like the members of generations that preceded them, especially, those born in the 80s (known in China as members of "the Beats") and 90s (known in China as the "Decadent generation"), felt that their personalities were often misinterpreted due to stereotyping, while, in reality, each generation's members each have their own distinctive personalities due to their different upbringing. The metaverse provides them with a space where they have unlimited possibilities to express themselves. There, they have the freedom to create their own virtual selves, to express themselves as they see fit and gain recognition, to talk with peers of similar upbringing about the hobbies that they share in common and that are often difficult for their parents and other adults in their life to understand, and to freely immerse themselves in diverse digital social activities and shopping experiences.
This is exactly what sets adidas apart from many other brands. The company has been committed to incorporating creative play and innovative power into the sneaker culture, and, by doing so, helping Gen Z to better unleash their personalities and asserting themselves rather than just following the crowd.
Take this year's Tmall Super Brand Day as an example: in addition to digital collectibles, adidas also provided shoppers with free access to a lineup of Taobao Life props. They can clothe their avatars as they wish, choosing from a number of T-shirts and pants as well as from the vast lineup of footwear, capturing the essential spirit of adidas Originals through their virtual creations.
All of this is just the beginning of adidas' digital differentiation efforts to gain the attention of Gen Z.
Insights into Digitalization: Gen Z Redefines Consumer Culture
adidas' digital differentiation strategy was put together following intensive research and the development of deep cultural insights into what young consumers, especially members of Gen Z, are seeking. It goes far beyond simply keeping in shape and leading a healthy lifestyle to embrace the excitement and thrill that one derives from engagement in trendy sports. They are not only interested in what is popular when it comes to equipment for conventional sports, such as running, football, basketball and other traditional pursuits, but also the creation of brand recognition reflecting a more stylized modern culture.
From adidas Yeezy Day, which, this year, celebrated its seventh anniversary, to the new Confirmed App and this past May's OZ Future Concert hosted by adidas Originals, they all serve as highly representative interpretations of these cultural insights.
Yeezy, one of the biggest and most trendy names among adidas' product lines, is an enduring topic in the mouths of many sneakerheads who love sneakers and sneaker culture. The sense of belonging and self-identity engendered by the sport itself is what resonates with them, forming a cultural community that is unique to their community.
The Confirmed App, which was conceived as an exclusive limited edition shopping platform, is a place where the well-known Yeezy and Superstar series can be found. At variance with adidas' existing local app, adidas App, Confirmed App delivers a new digital experience to sneaker lovers with the launch of exclusive limited edition products alongside other creative content and a focus on community. At the same time, adidas will combine a new product release mechanism and digital security technologies to ensure that shoppers can purchase products in a fair, fast and secure way, maintaining to the highest degree possible the simplicity of the cultural community.
Just this past May, adidas Originals partnered with TMELAND, the first virtual music festival organized by Tencent Music Entertainment Group, as a prelude to the OZ Future Concert. The event is a huge party for sneakerheads where they can step into the TMELAND virtual music festival in the guise of their avatar and experience the online performances of OZWORLD's star lineup of Jay Park and Ouyang Jing.
The value of these cultural communities and circles lies in the fact that they are the result of self-generated cultural spaces among consumers rather than deliberate products with artificial interventions. adidas' involvement is more like a craftsman who ignites the passion of the crowd. People in the circle are acting as viewers and participants, while the attention of those outside the circle is drawn to the point that they also stop and watch the action.
Most notably, though, to embrace the hip sports culture of young consumers, adidas has gone even further than these rejuvenation and digitalization efforts.
In terms of new and trendy sports such as cycling, skateboarding and Frisbee throwing, which have grown in popularity among members of these generations, adidas has continued its efforts to vastly diversify the experience for young sports enthusiasts. The sports brand has rolled out indoor, urban commuting, road, gravel road and other lineups of professional cycling equipment for all occasions.
In June of this year, adidas launched a skateboarding video challenge.
adidas is sponsoring the 2022-2023 China Frisbee League, which kicked off on August 6, and will hold an Ultimate Tournament during the upcoming National Fitness Day on August 8...
Underlying Logic of Digitalization: the China for China Strategy Serves As an Anchor to Promote Localized Digital Transformation
In the view of adidas, going all digital is increasingly emerging as a key for brands who seek to communicate with Gen Z. As part of its latest five-year roadmap, the company's digital transformation, to which it has given the moniker Own the Game, has been listed as one of the brand's three key focus areas. For this reason, adidas is increasing its investment in digital technologies. adidas' financial report revealed that investment topped 667 million euros in 2021, distinctly higher than the 442 million euros spent in 2020. By 2025, adidas is expected to invest some billion euros to drive its going digital efforts, covering the entire value chain from production to final sales and significantly enhancing the strategic position of its technology division.
To better serve Chinese sports fans, adidas Greater China developed the China for China strategy. Based on this approach, adidas has put its stake in the ground in terms of investing and further expanding its footprint in China, developing and distributing localized products and services as well as creating and publishing localized digital games for Chinese consumers.
Adrian Siu, Managing Director of adidas Greater China, said in an earlier interview, "Greater China has become one of the most important strategic markets for adidas. Facing the evolving expectations of the Chinese market and Chinese consumers, we have built a more sophisticated team to take a closer look at and serve the market. adidas has been bullish on the market's huge potential, demonstrating our strong confidence in the region. Our company will continue to increase its investment and R&D activities in China, in response to the changes and challenges with a proactive, responsive and innovative approach in terms of product, marketing and channels. Looking ahead, we will strengthen our personalized services and focus more on our ongoing digital efforts to enhance the links with Gen Z, making Greater China an integral part of adidas' 2025 Own the Game Strategy."
To fully localize its in-China digitalization process and get closer to Chinese consumers, as early as 2019 adidas had already started making some substantial investments in the Digital Hub in Shanghai, making the sneaker producer a pioneer in the digital transformation of the sports industry through attracting outstanding talents and building a digital ecosystem. Worth noting is that adidas' localization is even more radical as its data centers are wholly located in China and all collected personal information is fully encrypted to protect consumer privacy in all respects.
As a key component of adidas' digitalization efforts, the Digital Hub currently houses the company's data analytics and digital platforms, as well as consumer digital touchpoints, with the aim of enhancing the digital transformation with tailored solutions. The Digital Hub allows the sports brand not only to make its R&D and production more efficient in the upstream of the whole value chain, but also to optimize the marketing and consumer experience in the downstream.
A unique and important feature of the Digital Hub is a creative insights platform dedicated specifically to the Chinese market, with the ability to provide powerful insights and to synchronize market intelligence in near real-time. By sharing insights into consumer expectations and in-depth analysis of market trends alongside product distribution data, the platform can serve adidas China's cross-functional teams as a strong contributor to business growth.
On the sales side, adidas reaches young shoppers via the Digital Hub's multiple data analysis and digital platforms, while its wide range of digital marketing touchpoints include the app, the WeChat ecosystem, and the official website. At the same time, the teams that support the Digital Hub are making every effort to gain visibility in front of young consumers through diverse approaches including membership benefits, content sharing and live streaming, in a move to drive their engagement and promote the cool street culture. As of the end of 2021, adidas China boasted 58 million members.
To date, adidas has completed the first phase of its 5-year digital strategic plan, with the establishment of its DTC business from the front-end digital matrix to the back-end big data middleware support. In the next phase, adidas will continue its efforts to customize personalized digital experiences for consumers across channels, chains, and lifecycles, and to create a variety of immersive, high-tech digital experiences as part of its mission of enriching what it means to engage in sports, whether as an amateur or as a professional.
Based on the consumer culture characteristics of these up-and-coming generations, a digital full value chain has been created that covers production to final sales, which not only makes adidas, a brand that has nearly 100 years of history, remains one of the most influential, relevant and trendy sports brands among younger sports enthusiasts, but also assists the company in easing the pressures on offline retail as a result of the pandemic. According to adidas' financial reports, e-commerce channel revenue has grown steadily in recent years, having risen from 1 billion euros in 2016 to 4 billion euros in 2021.
Half of the people who embark on a one hundred mile journey may fall by the way side. But going digital is undoubtedly one of the best solutions for brands like adidas who seek to become a part of the life of a Gen Z consumer and prove the NP=P equation.

NEW YORK (AP) — The polio virus has been found in New York City’s wastewater in another sign that the disease, which hadn’t been seen in the U.S. in a decade, is quietly spreading among unvaccinated people, health officials said Friday.
The presence of the poliovirus in the city's wastewater suggests likely local circulation of the virus, the city and New York state health departments said.
State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said the detection of poliovirus in wastewater samples in New York City is alarming but not surprising.
“The risk to New Yorkers is real but the defense is so simple — get vaccinated against polio,” New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said in a statement. “With polio circulating in our communities there is simply nothing more essential than vaccinating our children to protect them from this virus, and if you’re an unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated adult, please choose now to get the vaccine. Polio is entirely preventable and its reappearance should be a call to action for all of us.”
New York City is being forced to confront polio as city health officials are struggling to vaccinate vulnerable populations against monkeypox and adjusting to changing COVID-19 guidelines.
“We are dealing with a trifecta,” Mayor Eric Adams said Friday on CNN. “COVID is still very much here. Polio, we have identified polio in our sewage, and we’re still dealing with the monkeypox crisis. But the team is there. And we’re coordinating and we're addressing the threats as they come before us, and we’re prepared to deal with them with the assistance of Washington, D.C."
The announcement about the discovery of the polio virus in New York City comes shortly after British health authorities reported finding evidence the virus has spread in London but found no cases in people. Children ages 1-9 in London were made eligible for booster doses of a polio vaccine Wednesday.
In New York, one person suffered paralysis weeks ago because of a polio infection in Rockland County, north of the city. Wastewater samples collected in June in both Rockland and adjacent Orange County were found to contain the virus.
Most people infected with polio have no symptoms but can still give the virus to others for days or weeks. Vaccination offers strong protection and authorities urged people who haven’t gotten the shots to seek one immediately.
Based on past outbreaks, it is possible that hundreds of people in the state have gotten polio and don’t know it, officials said.
Polio was once one of the nation’s most feared diseases, with annual outbreaks causing thousands of cases of paralysis. The disease mostly affects children.
Vaccines became available starting in 1955, and a national vaccination campaign cut the annual number of U.S. cases to less than 100 in the 1960s and fewer than 10 in the 1970s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A small percentage of people who polio suffer paralysis. The disease is fatal for between 5-10% of those paralyzed.
All schoolchildren in New York are required to have a polio vaccine, but Rockland and Orange counties are both known as centers of vaccine resistance. | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Polio-detected-in-NYC-s-sewage-suggesting-virus-17369298.php | 2022-08-12T15:40:54Z | https://www.seattlepi.com/news/article/Polio-detected-in-NYC-s-sewage-suggesting-virus-17369298.php | false |

A big plan to kill former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma was foiled today when the UP police arrested Mohd Nadeem, an operative of Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) and other terrorist organizations, from the state`s Saharanpur on Friday.
According to an official release, Nadeem was tasked with killing of former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma who had made an objectionable remark against the Prophet.

The ADGP claimed that the police recovered chats and voice messages from Nadeem's phone and these messages were traced to Pakistan and Afghanistan. Two SIM cards and literature on preparing various kinds bombs were also recovered from him. He has been booked under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act at ATS police station in Lucknow, the statement said.

Why decisions on more cost of living action will have to wait
By Nick Eardley
BBC political correspondent
- Published
We've just had an admission from the prime minister. Boris Johnson has said the current package to help with energy bills won't be enough.
This might sound obvious if you're worried about paying for gas and electricity this winter. The last package was based on a lower price cap. Things have changed.
But Mr Johnson has made it clear that he thinks further support will be needed from whoever succeeds him at the start of September.
"What we're doing... is trying to make sure that by October, by January, there is further support," he said.
The current chancellor is drawing up options for the next government to consider and put into action right away. The prime minister says he is making sure the cash is there for them to spend.
But Mr Johnson isn't going to make that decision himself. Several government figures have made it clear the big decisions can not be taken by the outgoing regime.
There is other work going on behind the scenes, to look at extra support for important energy intensive industries like steel and ceramics, But again the final say will not be for the people currently in charge, but whoever comes next.
The lack of immediate action infuriates people like Martin Lewis, the money saving expert. It angers some opposition politicians too, who say the scale of the energy crisis is such that the government can't wait a month to decide what it's going to do.
The Liberal Democrats have already said they want the energy price cap rise to be stopped, with an expanded windfall tax on oil and gas profits paying for it. Neither Rishi Sunak or Liz Truss are keen on extending the current windfall tax though.
After some questions about why it hasn't said more already, Labour will set out its strategy in the next few days.
In a preview of its thinking, the party has said it wants to bring down bills for people on prepayment meters so they face costs in line with direct debit users.
That will matter for the four million people on prepayment meters, who will save a bit, but obviously it doesn't address the wider issue of spiralling prices. We'll hear more from Keir Starmer next week when he's promising a comprehensive and costed plan.
But whatever options are suggested by the opposition or left on the table by the current government, it looks increasingly clear that concrete decisions are going to have to wait. Not least because the two people who could be making them sharply disagree.
Rishi Sunak says he will definitely announce more support if he becomes prime minister. He's confirmed he is prepared to borrow money to pay for it, after criticising Liz Truss for saying she'd borrow more to cut tax. He says he has a moral responsibility.
Ms Truss has been more non-committal. She has softened her position after saying "no handouts" - they now aren't being ruled out. But her focus is appealing to Conservative members, by concentrating on tax cuts and letting people keep more on their money (more here on why it's a bit more complicated than that).
Ms Truss has also rejected the idea of sitting down with her rival and the current prime minister to try to work out some immediate answers. So that's a non-starter.
Mr Sunak and Ms Truss are involved in an ideological battle to define Conservatism in 2022.
Conservative members are weighing up which they prefer. But while they decide, decisions over help with the cost of living look like they are going to have to wait.

Eight pictures proving Which? is wrong to rank Hull one of the worst places for a staycation
Hull came 18th on the list out of 21, but here's some reasons why we disagree
Which? has revealed the best cities and town for a UK staycation, and whilst North Yorkshire's York ranked the highest in the large city category, Hull was left scraping the bottom.
The findings are judged by eight different categories, all rated out of five stars after calculating results of a survey taken by more than 3,600 people. The categories are - average hotel price, food and drink, your accommodation, cultural sights, shopping, ease of getting around, lack of crowds and value for money followed by an overall percentage score.
York hit the top spot with an overall rating of 86 percent, closely followed by Belfast and Edinburgh which complete the top three. Ranking 18th out of 21 large cities, Hull hits one of the lowest spots on the list, with Plymouth, Southampton and Aberdeen the only ones that ranked below.

Which? states that the average hotel price for the city is £64 per night, but followed with some low star ratings. Food and drink in the city ranked a mere two out of five stars, whilst accommodation ranked three out of five. Value for money worked out at three out of five stars meaning that the destination received an overall rank of 64 percent, losing out to Leeds and Nottingham which overall scored 65 percent.
However, Hull was the only place in the 'large city' section not to be ranked on all eight categories, not being rated on half, which could be seen as an unfair ranking. Which? explained that the dash meant that the 'sample size was too small to calculate a rating'.
Here are eight fantastic photos showcasing that Which? was wrong with their rating and that Hull is in fact a great place for a staycation: | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/gallery/eight-pictures-proving-which-wrong-7455380 | 2022-08-12T15:47:18Z | https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/news/hull-east-yorkshire-news/gallery/eight-pictures-proving-which-wrong-7455380 | false |
- Vaccine fatigue may continue to be a barrier to the upcoming flu season
- Black Americans are less likely to get a flu vaccine compared to white Americans, increasing risk of flu-related complications or hospitalizations1
- People over 65 account for majority of flu-related hospitalizations and deaths2
- Panelists from the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, the American Lung Association and the National Minority Quality Forum joined Sanofi to discuss drivers of flu-related healthcare inequities across populations
BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Amid signs that a more severe influenza season is approaching in the US, a panel of public health leaders today urged that people get vaccinated in preparation for the upcoming influenza season and warned that patients in high-risk populations tend to suffer significant flu-related health disparities.3
The conversation focused on how to increase protection for people over 65 and those with weakened immune systems, including those with chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and cardiovascular disease. Experts also considered how inequities translate to higher rates of hospitalizations due to the flu among Black Americans and other under-represented communities.1
The virtual discussion, hosted by Sanofi with invited media in attendance, was moderated by Michael Greenberg, MD, MPH, North America Medical Head of Vaccines at Sanofi.
Michael Greenberg, MD, MPH
North America Medical Head of Vaccines at Sanofi
"We have the tools to help reduce the burden of disease in populations most severely affected by flu, especially among those over age 65. By partnering with organizations and healthcare providers, we can combat complacency among those who may be fatigued by vaccine news, and who may not understand the severe complications of a flu infection that vaccines can help prevent. As a leader in flu vaccines, Sanofi aims to help protect high-risk populations from flu and its related complications. We have a responsibility to help prevent as much flu as possible through vaccination."
Experts anticipate a rise in flu cases in the Northern Hemisphere this flu season compared with last year based on the steep rise in cases in the Southern Hemisphere this season.4 Today's panel, composed of chief medical officers of the American Heart Association, the American Diabetes Association, the American Lung Association and the President and CEO of the National Minority Quality Forum, provided insights on the impact of flu in light of a decline in vaccination rates during the 2021-2022 flu season.
Gary A. Puckrein, PhD
President & CEO, National Minority Quality Forum
"The economic and health burden of vaccine-preventable influenza on communities of color is clear and access to effective vaccines is essential. The level of disparity in vaccine uptake, particularly among patients of color, points to structural deficits systematically hampering access to influenza vaccination.5"
Age can be a factor when it comes to flu-related complications and flu vaccinations can help reduce the burden of disease.6 In a study of influenza vaccine effectiveness in 3,135 adults over 18 during 2012-2015, of adults hospitalized as a result of the flu, vaccinated patients were 59% less likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit than those who had not been vaccinated.7 Importantly, Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), an advisory body to the CDC, has recognized that certain flu vaccines are potentially more effective for people over 65.8
Comorbidities present the risk for added complications, according to the experts. Among adults hospitalized with influenza during recent flu seasons, about half had heart disease.9 In recent seasons, about 30% of adult flu hospitalizations had diabetes and during the 2021-22 flu season, 30.6% of flu-related hospitalizations were among adults with chronic lung disease.10,11

"Hands down, your best protection from the flu this year comes from the flu shot, which is proven to be practical and cost-effective. Virtually everyone can benefit from the flu shot and that's especially true for people with heart disease and seniors who are more likely to be hospitalized with flu and flu-related complications.2,9 If you're over 65, you should ask about getting the specific flu vaccines this year which may potentially be more effective."
Robert Gabbay, MD
Chief Science & Medical Officer, American Diabetes Association
"People with diabetes are at high risk of serious flu complications, even when well-managed, which can result in flu-related hospitalization and sometimes even flu-related death.10 Preventing flu and its serious complications should be a global public health priority and we aim to encourage vaccinations as we approach the upcoming flu season."
Albert Rizzo, MD
Chief Medical Officer, American Lung Association
"While anyone can get the flu, certain people are at increased risk for developing serious flu complications such as those living with chronic medical conditions including asthma, COPD and other chronic lung diseases.3 The flu can be deadly, which is why we urge all eligible people six months or older to get the flu shot annually."

Major events that could affect your portfolio
A no-name company based out of Hong Kong has soared up the list of the world’s most valuable companies this week. AMTD Digital managed to surpass giants like Visa, Exxon Mobil and Walmart and briefly hit a valuation of over $450 billion, despite revenue of just $25 million.
It’s been an incredible run up since the company floated on the New York Stock Exchange on July 15th at $7.80, with the stock price hitting an all-time high of $2,555.30 on August 2nd before significant falls in subsequent days. As of Friday morning, the stock is still trading at an insane $870, giving a market cap of over $160 billion.
That’s more than Morgan Stanley, Intel, IBM and American Express.
Initially it was thought that AMTD Digital was another target for Reddit’s infamous WallStreetBets crowd, but it now appears that might not be the case. Trading volumes have been too low to suggest any major retail involvement, and the discussion on the site regarding the stock has been limited.
AMTD Digital’s parent company, AMTD Idea, is also listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Despite owning over 88% of a company that is supposedly worth $160 billion, its market cap is sitting at a paltry $1.85 billion. Some savvy traders have played this link, with AMTD Idea’s price also increasing over 300% in the past month.
As yet, no reasoning has been given as to why AMTD Digital has grown so fast, with some suggestions that there may be some less-than-ethical antics at play.

Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan this week, the highest ranking U.S. Government official to do so in 25 years. Despite operating as an independent nation since 1945, the Chinese government still claims sovereignty over the island.
The dispute is a constant source of tension in the region, with China considering any international acknowledgement of Taiwan as an insult to their authority. It’s no surprise then that they weren’t too happy about Pelosi’s visit.
Asian markets reacted to the arrival of Pelosi, with Hong Kong’s Hang Seng closing down 2.4% and Shanghai’s Composite Index dropping 2.3% on the day of her arrival. It has heightened tensions between the world’s two biggest economies, as we continue to see a trend of fewer financial ties between the countries.
The visit also comes off the back of news that up to 270 US-listed Chinese companies are at risk of being delisted from U.S. markets. The issue surrounds concerns from the Chinese government that meeting the SEC’s disclosure requirements may reveal state secrets.
The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act (HFCAA) would allow the SEC to de-register companies that don’t provide full and transparent disclosure from their auditors. Among the names on the watchlist is one of the world’s most valuable companies, Alibaba.
The legislation wouldn’t see companies delisted immediately, but it could commence proceedings which would see them move off U.S. markets by 2024.
This week’s top theme from Q.ai
Tech has been beaten down badly so far this year. Almost every company in every sub-sector of the industry has taken massive hits to their stock prices, regardless of their underlying fundamentals. It’s not just traditional tech companies like Alphabet, Microsoft and Amazon that have suffered either.
Crypto has been on a huge bull run over recent years, but the tide turned at the start of 2022 and we've seen some massive losses since then.
Over the last month, we’ve started to see some green shoots appearing across the tech industry and in the crypto space. Despite mixed announcements in the second quarter's earnings season, in general the financial performance of many companies has been better than expected.
There are some notable exceptions, such as Meta, but forecasts have also been generally more optimistic than many investors could have hoped for. These results have driven a rally in the tech sector, which has seen stocks rise significantly in a short space of time. In order to take advantage of this, we have a number of Investment Kits specifically designed to invest in the tech sector.
Our Emerging Tech Kit uses AI to take a long position in a mix of tech ETFs, large cap tech stocks, new tech stocks and cryptocurrencies via public trusts. Every week our AI reviews multiple data sets to set the optimal mix between these verticals.
If you’re not feeling quite as confident on the direction of the market in the short term, another tech play is our Tech Rally Kit. Our AI makes this trade work with a combination of a long position on tech and a short position on the Dow.
So even if the overall market trends down or sideways, this kit can make money if the tech companies perform better than the market in general. It’s the type of trade usually reserved for wealthy investment banking clients, but we offer it to everyone.
Top trade ideas
Here are some of the best ideas our AI systems are recommending for the next week and month.
Vimeo (VMEO) – The video hosting platform one of our Top Buys for next week with an A rating in Growth and Technicals and a C in Growth and Low Momentum Volatility. Revenue was up 23.6% year on year to the end of June.

Author Salman Rushdie, whose writing led to death threats, attacked on stage
CHAUTAUQUA, N.Y. (AP) — Salman Rushdie, the author whose writing led to death threats from Iran in the 1980s, was attacked Friday as he was about to give a lecture in western New York.
An Associated Press reporter witnessed a man storm the stage at the Chautauqua Institution and begin punching or stabbing Rushdie as he was being introduced. The 75-year-old author was pushed or fell to the floor, and the man was restrained.
Rushdie was quickly surrounded by a small group of people who held up his legs, presumably to send more blood to his chest.
His condition was not immediately known.
Hundreds of people in the audience gasped at the sight of the attack and were then evacuated.
Rushdie’s book “The Satanic Verses” has been banned in Iran since 1988, as many Muslims consider it to be blasphemous. A year later, Iran’s late leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a fatwa, or edict, calling for Rushdie’s death.
A bounty of over $3 million has also been offered for anyone who kills Rushdie.
Iran’s government has long since distanced itself from Khomeini’s decree, but anti-Rushdie sentiment has lingered. In 2012, a semi-official Iranian religious foundation raised the bounty for Rushdie from $2.8 million to $3.3 million.
Rushdie dismissed that threat at the time, saying there was “no evidence” of people being interested in the reward.
That year, Rushdie published a memoir, “Joseph Anton,” about the fatwa. The title came from the pseudonym Rushdie had used while in hiding.
Rushdie rose to prominence with his Booker Prize-winning 1981 novel “Midnight’s Children,” but his name became known around the world after “The Satanic Verses.”
The Chautauqua Institution, about 55 miles southwest of Buffalo in a rural corner of New York, is known for its summertime lecture series. Rushdie has spoken there before.

Vanessa Bryant left a court hearing in tears on Thursday in her lawsuit against the Los Angeles County sheriff's and fire departments.
The wife of the late NBA star Kobe Bryant accused first responders of sharing photos of the helicopter crash site where he and 8 others died in 2020.
According to CNN, she became emotional when Victor Gutierrez, a bartender, was asked if he saw pictures of the Bryants’ daughter Gianna. Gianna was on board the doomed helicopter when it crashed into a Southern California hill.
Bryant asked for permission to leave the courtroom, CNN reported. The judge told her that she did not need to ask for permission.
The witness said he winced at the images he saw from the scene, CNN reported.
Bryant did not return to the courtroom to hear testimony from the coroner.
The trial is expected to last two weeks Vanessa Bryant is among those expected to testify. | https://www.abc15.com/news/national/vanessa-bryant-leaves-trial-in-tears-during-witness-testimony | 2022-08-12T15:51:44Z | https://www.abc15.com/news/national/vanessa-bryant-leaves-trial-in-tears-during-witness-testimony | true |

I Didn’t Call Peter Obi Supporters Zombies – Femi Kuti
Nigerian music star, Femi Anikulapo-Kuti, has refuted reports claiming that he called supporters of Peter Obi, the Labour Party presidential candidate, zombies.
An online newspaper, not THE WHISTLER, had claimed that Kuti used the term to describe Obi’s supporters during his performance at the Afrika Shrine on Thursday night.
But reacting via his Twitter page on Friday, Kuti countered the reports, noting that he only expressed anger that some people expected him to identify with the ‘Obedient’ movement which is a term used to describe supporters of the LP candidate.
During the concert, the singer said: “How can you be Obidient in this chaos? I am not Obidient. Tell me, at 60, why am I Obidient? You said I should be Obidient, sit down, and be peaceful. Are you all okay in this country?”
Clarifying his statement in a tweet on Friday, Kuti said “You are such liars. Of what benefit is it to the people when you take my words out of context like this? I said I’m too angry at my age to be obedient. Expressing I do not like the ‘term’. But if Peter Obi wins and actually changes the country better for all of us.”
Kuti has not expressed support for any presidential candidate unlike some of his colleagues who have openly declared support for some aspirants.
Obi, since declaring for the presidency, has attracted grassroots support from young Nigerians who see him as a better alternative to other candidates in the 2023 contest.
He’s expected to campaign on the energy of young Nigerians who describe themselves as “Obidients”. | https://thewhistler.ng/i-didnt-call-peter-obi-supporters-zombies-femi-kuti/ | 2022-08-12T15:52:48Z | https://thewhistler.ng/i-didnt-call-peter-obi-supporters-zombies-femi-kuti/ | true |
Worldview with Suhasini Haidar| UNSC terror designations: Why did India lash out at China?
In this episode of Worldview, we examine the 1267 Sanctions Committee, and why India’s envoy at the UN lashed out in a speech saying the UNSC’s credibility is at an all time low
The scene that played out in the UN Security Council seemed eerily familiar- after India and the US brought a joint proposal to designate Rauf Asghar, deputy chief of the Jaish e Mohammad and brother of its chief Masood Azhar, as a global terrorist under UNSC resolution 1267, China placed a technical hold on the listing.
In that speech, Ambassador Khamboj hit out at:
- China- for blocking terrorist designations
- Pakistan- for harbouring terrorists, and for glorifying their acts
- Afghanistan- for the Taliban regime’s support to terror groups
- even the United Nations Secretariat itself, for not including Indian inputs on these groups in its latest situation report that the UNSG presented.
Ruchira Khamboj speech at UNSC:
“An effective functioning of the Sanctions Committees requires them to become more transparent, accountable and objective. The practice of placing holds and blocks on listing requests without giving any justification must end. It is most regrettable that genuine and evidence-based listing proposals pertaining to some of the most notorious terrorists in the world are being placed on hold. Double standards and continuing politicization have rendered the credibility of the Sanctions Regime at an all-time low.”
What is the 1267 Sanctions Committee?
1. The 1267 Sanctions Committee is one of several UN Security Council sanctions regimes that impose restrictions on people considered a global threat
2. In 1999, UNSC resolution 1267 decided on preparing a regularly updated list of members of the Taliban and Al Qaeda that was being sheltered there, chiefly Osama Bin Laden, as well as allied groups. Subsequently the list went from focusing on Taliban to focusing on Al Qaeda, and then Islamic State ISIL
3. Under the resolution, which has been amended several times, especially after the 9/11 attacks in the US, those on the list
-cannot be allowed to travel out of the jurisdiction they are found in and must be prosecuted effectively
- must not be allowed to access their funds, and all terror-linked funds frozen
- must not be allowed to access weapons
4. Since 1999, hundreds of names of individuals and entities have been added to the list- a large number of them are based in Afghanistan, but a very large number, estimated more than 120 is based in Pakistan- including anti-India groups.
5. After the IC-814 hijacking in 1999, and the 9/11 attacks, Jaish e Mohammad was banned in October 2001, and Lashkar e Toiba banned in May 2005, but India has faced an uphill battle in designating their leaders since then- with China, in particular, holding or blocking the designations of Masood Azhar, finally listed in 2019 after the Pulwama attack, and even Mumbai attacks mastermind Hafiz Saeed and LeT commander Zaki Ur Rahman Lakhvi in December 2008 right after the attacks.
6. India had proposed listing Azhar in 2009, then again in 2016 and 2017 before succeeding in 2019. In June this year, China placed a hold on designating LeT deputy chief and Hafiz Saeed’s brother-in-law Abdur Rahman Makki, and now in August has placed a hold on designating Rauf Asghar.
What is the evidence against Asghar?
- When his brother Masood Azhar was in jail in India, Rauf Asghar planned and executed the IC-814 hijacking, taking nearly 200 passengers and crew hostage, and flying them to Kandahar. Remember, the world watched the surrender of Masood Azhar and 2 other terrorists in Kandahar in 1999 by India to Taliban officials, so there is no doubt about the nature of the attack
- Rauf Asghar is Deputy Chief of the Jaish e Mohammad, has been de facto chief when Masood Azhar has been taken into custody. This is a group responsible for
1. IC-814 hijack
2. 2001 Parliament attack
3. 2003 Assassination attempt on Pakistan President Musharraf
4. 2016 Attack on Pathankot Airforce Base
5. 2014-2018 attacks on Army camps in Jammu Kashmir -Kathua, Samba, Nagrota, Tangdhar, Sunjwan, Jhajjar Koti
6. 2019 Pulwama bombing of a CRPF convoy in which 40 paramilitary personnel were killed
- Asghar is wanted for recruiting, radicalising, training terrorists for the attacks, raising funds and liaising with other groups like LeT
- Rauf Asghar is on the US’s Foreign Terrorist list, and India’s most wanted terrorist list, and since 2019 has been convicted in Pakistan on terror related charges
Given all of the above, Indian officials said the evidence against Asghar, as with the case of Makki, wanted for the Mumbai attacks and other LeT attacks on India is “incontrovertible”, and China’s moves show its political agenda in favour of Pakistan and Pakistan-based groups.
What is China’s response?
China says it needs time, and has placed a technical hold, not a complete block on the 2 listings- which will last 6 months apiece, and then can extend the hold for another 6 months. It said it is following the Committees own rules.
What are India’s options?
1. Ramp up international pressure on China to change its position- this has not always been successful, given terror listings are not the biggest priority in various global negotiations with China on Taiwan, trade, indo-pacific tensions, human rights etc.The global war against terrorism has also been diluted after many countries including India have opened ties with the Taliban
2. Deal directly, bilaterally with China to convince it to shift- for China. This is equally difficult, given India’s negotiations with China are focussed on the border standoff since 2020, and other issues. However, if China agrees to the terror designations, it could be a way for a breakthrough in other parts of the relationship
3. A red flag may have been that the two proposals were joint India-US proposals unlike the past, when India had brought more countries on board, and India could amend its proposal to include other sponsors as well
4.Open a dialogue with Pakistan on bringing these terrorists to justice- remember, Pakistan is hopeful of being let off the greylist at the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) this year, and any action on terrorism will assist its case. Remember, India’s own review at the FATF also begins this year.
5. India can propose amendments to the UN’s processes on Sanctions committees that don’t allow one member to hold the rest back from terror designations- and push for the adoption of the Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism (CCIT), originally proposed by India in 1996. In October this year, India will host a unique Counter Terrorism Committee meeting in Delhi and Mumbai, where all 15 UNSC members will be present, including China, US and Russia.
The war against terrorism is the long haul, and is a fight at the UN that India has waged for more than two decades,with some setbacks, and many successes. While India must continue to push for China to reverse its stand on the listings, it is equally important to focus on the implementation of existing UN mandates on fighting terrorism.
READING RECOMMENDATIONS:
The China - Pakistan Axis: Asia’s New Geopolitics- by Andrew Small tells you about why China continues to support Pakistan, even on these listings
Books on UN and Terrorism
1. A book on the laws since 9/11: 9/11 and the Rise of Global Anti-Terrorism Law: How the UN Security Council Rules the World- essays brought out by Cambridge Press
2. The UN and Counter-Terrorism Global Hegemonies, Power and Identities By Alic Martini is also a very academic book
3. One book that looks at the frustrations of India at the UN Security Council is by Ambassador Khamboj’s predecessor a decade ago: Hardeep Puri’s Perilous Interventions: The Security Council and the Politics of Chaos
Some books on Taliban and groups in Pakistan by foreign authors: 4. The Taliban at War: 2001 – 2021 by Antonio Giustozzi, who is coming out soon with Jihadism in Pakistan: Al-Qaeda, Islamic State and the Local Militants, in 2023 5. In Their Own Words: Understanding Lashkar-e-Tayyaba by Christine Fair
And Pakistani authors who have written on the subject, at considerable risk to themselves:
6. Read Zahid Hussain: No-Win War: The Paradox of US-Pakistan Relations in Afghanistans Shadow, also Scorpion’s Tail and Frontline Pakistan
7. Inside Al-Qaeda and the Taliban: Beyond Bin Laden and 9/11 by Syed Saleem Shahzad 8. Talibanisation of Pakistan: From 9/11 to 26/11 and Beyond by Amir Mir

The project evolves the creative sustainability concept in the digital environment, strengthening its positioning in society and the market
NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- UNESCO-SOST's Global Sustainability Committee, Barcelona headquarters, reaffirms its commitment to Brazil and formalizes an innovative partnership with Transcriativa. Engaged in creating a journey in the metaverse, UNESCO-SOST Transcriativa, dedicated to Education, Science, and Culture in Brazil (UN's SDG), has chosen Compass UOL to develop a Future Hacking project.
Driven by the famed creativity of the Brazilian people and their 'borogodó', the secret ingredient, this partnership aims to launch a platform as a meeting point for entrepreneurs and their audiences, sharing knowledge about topics related to sustainability and creativity in a diverse, inclusive way to praise our culture. For that, a study was carried out to analyze trends and how non-governmental companies have been connecting to the theme.
"We realized the relevance of Compass UOL's work through the significant results of its successful case studies in the metaverse and digital transformation on a global scale. The combination of the company's different competencies and points of view made us very eager to move forward with this project together," explains Alex Lima, president of UNESCO-SOST Transcriativa.
Four Compass UOL Innovation Studios
Compass UOL counted on four of its Innovation Studios to carry out a discovery. The Future Hacking Innovation Studio analyzed trends and the market to understand how companies of the same segment have been navigating the metaverse. Afterwards, Compass UOL conducted a brainstorming session to define the virtual persona. Then, the User Experience, Agile Transformation, and Gaming & XR Innovation Studios developed a prototype, which led up to the technical plan to build the new space.
"Entering in the metaverse has been the greatest technological evolution ever made by UNESCO-SOST Transcriativa. We want to show that relevant issues can be treated in an immersive way and become even more interesting to the public," emphasizes Alexis Rockenbach, CEO of Compass UOL.
Discovery was based and structured on the analyzed trends, creating a basis for the organization's universe in the metaverse. Just as Compass UOL supports the project, UNESCO-SOST Transcriativa hopes other companies will take part to enable the metaverse initiative. Launching of the immersive digital platform is scheduled for later this year.

Julian the Apostate may have been one of the less lurid Roman emperors, but he has nonetheless enjoyed a robust afterlife in art. He has been the subject of a play by Henrik Ibsen (“Emperor and Galilean”), an opera by Felix Weingartner (“Der Apostat”) and novels by Michel Butor and Gore Vidal, as well as the inspiration for Charles Swinburne’s 1866 poem “Hymn to Proserpine.” During the 18th century—“the high point of Julian’s posthumous reputation,” according to the narrator of Julian Barnes’s new novel, “Elizabeth Finch”—the emperor was praised by Montesquieu, Voltaire and Edward Gibbon, who devoted three chapters of “Decline and Fall” to him. Adolf Hitler was also a fan.
“Elizabeth Finch” is another novel with Julian at its core—quite literally. Mr. Barnes’s book is arranged over three parts, and its middle 50 pages take the form of an essay on the life, legacy and contradictions of this “bogeyman” of Christianity, the post-Constantine emperor who declared himself a pagan and (as Swinburne has it) died on the Persian battlefield lamenting Jesus’ triumph: “Thou hast conquered, O pale Galilean.” We are reminded by Mr. Barnes that Julian reigned for a mere two years (from 361–363), that he “never set foot in Rome” and that he was born and baptized a Christian. We are invited to consider various aspects of his creed and personality, not all of which can be gleaned from Wikipedia. What this information is doing in the middle of a novel is quite another matter, but Mr. Barnes has always enjoyed playing with form and style, the porous border between fiction and nonfiction. Examples include “Flaubert’s Parrot” (1984), which sets us on the hunt for the stuffed bird that inspired the author of “Madame Bovary”; and the mosaic-like “A History of the World in 10½ Chapters” (1989), which offers alternative accounts of Noah’s Ark and the Chernobyl disaster. Age and experience (the author is now in his mid-70s; this is his 30th book) have hardly inclined him to start obeying rules.

NEW YORK (AP) — The polio virus has been found in New York City’s wastewater in another sign that the disease, which hadn’t been seen in the U.S. in a decade, is quietly spreading among unvaccinated people, health officials said Friday.
The presence of the poliovirus in the city’s wastewater suggests likely local circulation of the virus, the city and New York state health departments said.
State Health Commissioner Dr. Mary T. Bassett said the detection of poliovirus in wastewater samples in New York City is alarming but not surprising.
“The risk to New Yorkers is real but the defense is so simple — get vaccinated against polio,” New York City Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said in a statement. “With polio circulating in our communities there is simply nothing more essential than vaccinating our children to protect them from this virus, and if you’re an unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated adult, please choose now to get the vaccine. Polio is entirely preventable and its reappearance should be a call to action for all of us.”
New York City is being forced to confront polio as city health officials are struggling to vaccinate vulnerable populations against monkeypox and adjusting to changing COVID-19 guidelines.
“We are dealing with a trifecta,” Mayor Eric Adams said Friday on CNN. “COVID is still very much here. Polio, we have identified polio in our sewage, and we’re still dealing with the monkeypox crisis. But the team is there. And we’re coordinating and we’re addressing the threats as they come before us, and we’re prepared to deal with them with the assistance of Washington, D.C.”
The announcement about the discovery of the polio virus in New York City comes shortly after British health authorities reported finding evidence the virus has spread in London but found no cases in people. Children ages 1-9 in London were made eligible for booster doses of a polio vaccine Wednesday.
In New York, one person suffered paralysis weeks ago because of a polio infection in Rockland County, north of the city. Wastewater samples collected in June in both Rockland and adjacent Orange County were found to contain the virus.
Most people infected with polio have no symptoms but can still give the virus to others for days or weeks. Vaccination offers strong protection and authorities urged people who haven’t gotten the shots to seek one immediately.
Based on past outbreaks, it is possible that hundreds of people in the state have gotten polio and don’t know it, officials said.
Polio was once one of the nation’s most feared diseases, with annual outbreaks causing thousands of cases of paralysis. The disease mostly affects children.
Vaccines became available starting in 1955, and a national vaccination campaign cut the annual number of U.S. cases to less than 100 in the 1960s and fewer than 10 in the 1970s, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A small percentage of people who polio suffer paralysis. The disease is fatal for between 5-10% of those paralyzed.
All schoolchildren in New York are required to have a polio vaccine, but Rockland and Orange counties are both known as centers of vaccine resistance. | https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/polio-detected-in-nycs-sewage-suggesting-virus-circulating/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | 2022-08-12T15:57:58Z | https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/polio-detected-in-nycs-sewage-suggesting-virus-circulating/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_nation-world | false |

The company's revenue from operations in Q1FY23 jumped 53% to INR 8,392.54 crore from INR 5,487 crore earlier. Total expenses stood at INR 7,621.73 crore compared to INR 5,141 crore registered in Q1FY22.
New Delhi: India's leading two-wheeler maker Hero MotoCorp on Friday reported a 71% jump in its standalone net profit to INR 624.52 crore for the first quarter ended June 30, 2022. The company had posted net profit of INR 365 crore in the corresponding period of the previous financial year.
Meanwhile, the company's revenue from operations in the period under consideration (Q1FY23) jumped 53% to INR 8,392.54 crore from INR 5,487 crore earlier. Total expenses stood at INR 7,621.73 crore compared to INR 5,141 crore registered in Q1FY22.
Niranjan Gupta, Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Hero MotoCorp, said “While the macroeconomic environment globally is facing headwinds of inflation, the Indian economy is relatively better placed to move on path to recovery and growth."
“Certain key indicators like GST collections, PMI, consumer confidence index are all moving in the right direction," he said.
“As the country enters the festive season, we expect the 2 wheeler demand to be on a healthy trajectory supported by micro factors like normal monsoon, crop cycle, opening of all sectors of the economy etc. The margin pressure on the industry is also likely to ease in coming quarters, as commodities cool off and price recovery moves ahead of cost impact," Gupta said.
During the quarter under review, EBITDA) (Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation) margin for the June quarter stood at INR 941 crore.
The company sold 13.90 lakh two-wheelers in the first quarter, up 36% compared to 10.25 lakh units recorded in the year-ago period.
Under the agreement, the homegrown automaker will pay over INR 725 crore and the acquisition includes entire land & buildings, Vehicle Manufacturing Plant along with machinery and equipment situated therein; and (iii) transfer of all eligible employees of FIPL’s vehicle manufacturing operations at Sanand.
The company will stop producing Jazz after October 2022 while the crossover WR-V will not be produced beyond March 2023. The carmaker will also stop the production and sale of the 4th Generation Honda City by December 2022 in the country. However, the 5th generation of the sedan will continue to be available in the market, a source in the know of things told ETAuto. | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/two-wheelers/motorcycles/hero-motocorp-q1-fy23-pat-up-71to-inr-624-crore/93526627 | 2022-08-12T15:58:10Z | https://auto.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/two-wheelers/motorcycles/hero-motocorp-q1-fy23-pat-up-71to-inr-624-crore/93526627 | true |

As Ohio State reports fewer campus crimes than in past summers, the university will keep its current safety programs, surveillance and joint patrols with University Police and Columbus Division of Police officers for the fall semester.
There were 27 instances of robberies, thefts and assaults within a one-mile radius of campus from Aug. 1-9, according to the LexisNexis Community Crime Map, with 16 motor vehicle thefts as the most common crime. Robbery of an individual was the least common crime, with only one instance reported.
According to the map, fewer crimes have occurred this year compared to the same nine-day period last year, which saw 37 crimes near campus, with theft being the most common crime followed by residential burglary and motor vehicle theft.
This follows a trend of lower crime rates around campus. During the first five months of 2022, crimes committed in the campus area fell to its lowest number in 10 years.
Even with lower crime rates, Ohio State will maintain the numerous safety measures implemented last year — including Buckeye Block Watch, a partnership with Community Crime Patrol and expanded hours for the Lyft Ride Smart at Ohio State program for students.
These measures came after a parent group, Buckeyes for a Safe Ohio State, urged the university to make a change after six neighborhood safety notices were issued in August and five in September 2021.
University spokesperson Dan Hedman said in an email the university has expanded their Columbus joint patrol program, which includes a collaboration between Columbus Police and University Police to patrol the immediate off-campus area. The program is now expanded to three university police officers, each working with one of three Columbus Police officers.
Hedman said this expansion is a part of a larger effort to make the campus area safer.
“This initiative is part of a comprehensive approach that includes improved lighting, additional surveillance cameras and license plate readers and expanded non-police security patrols that bring university resources into the areas where many of our students live,” Hedman said.
Hedman also said the university has been working to make campus itself safer, which includes better monitoring of parking garages following multiple car break-ins that occurred this past spring.
“On campus, we’ve also completed installation of surveillance cameras at all campus parking garages to complement the more than 4,000 cameras already in service,” Hedman said.
In addition to Ohio State’s safety measures, Hedman said the university encourages students, faculty and staff to take measures to keep themselves safe.
“We all have a role in creating and supporting a safe and welcoming campus,” Hedman said. “We ask students, faculty and staff to do their part by locking doors and windows at home and securing motor vehicles, traveling groups and paying attention to their surroundings to enhance the safety of all Buckeyes.”
This story was updated at 11 a.m. on Aug. 11 to more accurately reflect the Columbus joint program. | https://www.thelantern.com/2022/08/ohio-state-to-continue-current-safety-programs-and-patrols-this-fall/ | 2022-08-12T16:02:50Z | https://www.thelantern.com/2022/08/ohio-state-to-continue-current-safety-programs-and-patrols-this-fall/ | false |
