BERLIN (AP) — The head of the United Nations announced the appointment Thursday of an expert panel led by Canada's former environment minister to scrutinize whether companies' efforts to curb climate change are credible or mere “ greenwashing.”
Recent years have seen an explosion of pledges by businesses — including oil companies — to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions to "net zero" amid consumer expectations that corporations bear part of the burden of cutting pollution. But environmental campaigners say many such plans are at best unclear, at worst designed to make companies look good when they are actually fueling global warming.
“Governments have the lion’s share of responsibility to achieve net-zero emissions by mid-century,” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, adding that this was particularly true for the Group of 20 major emerging and industrialized economies that account for 80% of greenhouse gas emissions.
“But we also urgently need every business, investor, city, state and region to walk the talk on their net-zero promises,” he said.
The 16-member panel will make recommendations before the end of the year on the standards and definitions for setting net-zero targets, how to measure and verify progress, and ways to translate that into international and national regulations.
In addition to examining net-zero pledges by the private sector, it will also scrutinize commitments made by local and regional governments that don't report directly to the U.N.
The panel includes prominent Australian climate scientist Bill Hare, South Africa-based sustainable finance expert Malango Mughogho and the former long-time governor of the People’s Bank of China, Zhou Xiaochuan.
It will be chaired by Catherine McKenna, who was Canada’s minister of environment and climate change from 2015 to 2019.
One outside expert called the creation of the new panel “well overdue,” noting that targets such as “net zero” are interpreted in different ways by companies and officials.
Harry Fearnehough, a policy analyst at the NewClimate Institute, said the think tank had recently reviewed several major companies and found “a number of critical issues with net-zero pledges, many of which are misleading consumers, regulators and shareholders.”
“Clear guidance on what is right, and what not, is welcome,” he said.
A report last month by the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found that more than three billion people worldwide are already at risk from global warming.
The panel will publish another report next week which is expected to confirm that the world is not on track to meet the goal of capping temperature rise at 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) by the end of the century, which was laid down in the 2015 Paris climate accord.
“If we don’t see significant and sustained emissions reductions this decade, the window of opportunity to keep 1.5 alive will be closed -- forever,” said Guterres. “And that will be disaster for everyone.”

Dr. Kelley joins efforts with Marc Koska OBE, inventor of the K1 auto-disable syringe, on future products to improve injection safety in all markets
STAMFORD, Conn., March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ApiJect Systems, Corp., a medical technology public-benefit corporation providing a platform that enables pharmaceutical and biotech companies to efficiently fill-finish their injectable medicines in prefilled delivery systems, has announced that Edward Kelley, PhD, has joined the company as Chief Global Health Officer for ApiJect and as a leader of its related organizations, ApiLabs and the ApiJect Global Initiative.
At ApiJect, Dr. Kelley helps lead the company's effort to develop upstream product ideas that serve both global markets and individual patients, and he establishes and manages relationships with important government and non-profit healthcare providers to nations around the world.
Dr. Kelley also serves as the Chief Global Health Officer of ApiLabs, an ApiJect sister company that performs ground-level R&D on new, scalable medical devices created on the ApiJect Platform. Marc Koska OBE, inventor of the widely-used K1 auto-disable syringe and co-founder of ApiJect, serves as the lead designer at ApiLabs. Together, Dr. Kelley will work with Mr. Koska and expert teams at ApiLabs on future injection devices that improve injection safety and access for patients in all markets.
Dr. Kelley is also Executive Director of the ApiJect Global Initiative, a group within ApiJect focused on carrying out the company's founding mission of promoting awareness and collaborative problem-solving for injection safety and global market access.
Dr. Kelley joins ApiJect after 15 years with the World Health Organization (WHO), most recently as Director of Integrated Health Services, where he was a prominent leader of WHO's work on the COVID-19 response, on the Access to COVID Tools (ACT) Accelerator, and on the United Nations Task Team on the Socioeconomic Response to COVID-19.
In addition, Dr. Kelley managed a wide portfolio at WHO with active programs in clinical services, health systems policy and services regulation, and patient safety and quality of care and health services performance monitoring. This included leading WHO's efforts on Injection Safety and the Safe Injection Global Network (SIGN). His work at WHO further involved collaborations with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, GAVI the Vaccine Alliance, the Rockefeller Foundation, and The Global Fund for HIV, TB and Malaria, among others.
Dr. Kelley remains passionate about the world's ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic and other global health issues. In the past twelve months, he has spoken to major news services on several occasions about the state of the pandemic and ongoing response efforts (see https://apiject.com/press/ for further information). In addition, he and his Global Initiative team recently released a first draft of a document that compares 50 commonly-held beliefs about COVID-19 against publicly available data. The first edition is available at https://injectionsafetyaccess.com/50-covid-beliefs/.
Prior to joining WHO, Dr. Kelley served for nearly a decade as Director of the U.S. National Healthcare Reports for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) in the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, reporting to the Director of that agency director and directly to the Secretary of HHS. During his time with HHS, Dr. Kelley was seconded to direct the 28-country Health Care Quality Improvement (HCQI) Project of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development. Prior to his HHS role, he served as a Senior Researcher and Quality Assurance Advisor for the USAID-sponsored Quality Assurance Project (QAP) and Partnerships for Health Reform Project Plus (PHRPlus).
Dr. Kelley received his PhD from Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health, where he served as an Associate Professor, and earned his undergraduate degree from Dartmouth College.
In welcoming Dr. Kelley, ApiJect Chairman Jay Walker stated, "Ed Kelley is among the world's most accomplished leaders in public health. We are fortunate he has decided to join ApiJect's team, where he elevates our role in addressing critical needs in global heath. As a public benefit corporation founded to address injection safety and primary healthcare needs, ApiJect appreciates Ed's history of strengthening primary health care and making health services safe around the world. This sterling record will ensure that ApiJect and ApiLabs fulfill their mission to make essential injectable medicines and vaccines a realistic possibility that is well within reach for all communities, especially the most difficult to serve."
ApiJect Co-Founder and ApiLabs Head Product Designer Marc Koska OBE added "I am delighted to have Ed join our team. His knowledge of global health, plus his passion and commitment adds to the capability of the ApiJect organization. We both share a deep-seated belief that to really improve injection safety around the world, we need to improve the injection devices and drug containers that serve these markets, in addition to awareness, training, and other important efforts governments and organizations have historically focused on."

LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian troops were leaving the Chernobyl nuclear power plant and heading towards Ukraine's border with Belarus, the Ukrainian nuclear operator company said.
The operator, Energoatom said that the Russian military was also preparing to leave Slavutych, a nearby city where power plant workers live.
Energoatom also said reports were confirmed that the Russians dug trenches in the Red Forest, the 10-square-kilometer (nearly four-square-mile) area surrounding the Chernobyl plant within the Exclusion Zone, and received “significant doses of radiation.”
The Russian troops “panicked at the first sign of illness,” which “showed up very quickly,” and began to prepare to leave, the operator said. The claim couldn't be independently verified.
Energoatom said the Russians have signed a document confirming the handover of the Chernobyl plant and stating that the plant’s administration doesn’t have any complaints about the Russian troops who were “guarding” the facility.
“It turns out that the occupiers ‘guarded’ the station for more than five weeks, and even so well that there are no complaints,” Energoatom said in a statement on Telegram.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The mayor of Portland, Oregon, has proposed that the city’s community police oversight committee go on a two-month hiatus to figure out how to fill nearly half of the group’s vacancies and hire more staff.
The Oregonian/OregonLive reports the idea comes five years after the predecessor of the Portland Committee on Community-Engaged Policing was disbanded due to lack of training for its members, lack of city support and dwindling membership.
Similar problems now affect the the current panel.
The 13-member group has only seven seats filled. There’s a lack of city staff to support or facilitate its meetings. Some members appointed to the group complained of a lack of training before they began their service.
Mayor Ted Wheeler, appearing before the committee Wednesday by video conference, suggested the group “take a breather,” for 60 days to allow Mike Myers, the city’s community safety transition director, to work to hire adequate administrative support staff, provide more rigorous training and find strong facilitators “to make it successful.”
Committee members had mixed reactions.
Member Ann Campbell said taking a 60-day break would be “very, very concerning” due to the “lack of community voices” on police oversight for that period of time.
The committee, she said, “is in a crisis right now.”
Member Zeenab Fowlk said she’s been concerned about “less police engagement” at committee meetings and the lack of facilitators to help guide the group’s work.
Dan Handelman, who attended the meeting as leader of the watchdog group Portland Copwatch, said he’d hate to see the committee stop meeting “just like the other one.”
The committee’s predecessor, the Community Oversight Advisory Board, also was put on a two-month hiatus in 2016 before it was completely disbanded. The city was without community oversight of police reforms for almost two years once the initial board dissolved amid acrimony and an exodus of leaders and members.
In November 2018, this second iteration - the Portland Committee on Community Engaged Policing - was created and held its first meeting.
The committee is a key part of the settlement agreement reached between the city and U.S. Department of Justice that followed federal investigators’ findings in 2012 that Portland officers too often used excessive force on people suffering from mental illness. It called for significant changes to police policies, training and oversight and was adopted by U.S. District Judge Michael H. Simon in 2014.
Former committee co-chair Elliott Young said many of the committee’s challenges are not new.
Young said when he left the committee in August he spoke to the mayor about the problem of retaining and recruiting members and inadequate staff support. “It’s surprising to me there wasn’t a plan in place from back then for improving staffing,” he said.
Sam Adams, a member of Wheeler’s staff who had negotiated the city’s settlement with the Justice Department when he was mayor, told the group that Wheeler will make a decision early next week. Adams said he had recommended the 60-day break for the committee.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jared Hager said it’s not lost on the U.S Department of Justice that the very same problems that led to the first community board’s failure is plaguing this committee: attrition, lapses in appointing new members, inadequate training and administrative support.
“To have those problems repeat is a serious concern,” he said. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Vacancies-lack-of-staff-vex-Portland-police-17048476.php | 2022-03-31T16:43:20 | en | 0.971805 |
Bitwise Industries Announces Five-State National Expansion, Investing Millions Toward Solving Generational Poverty
FRESNO, Calif., March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Bitwise Industries (www.bitwiseindustries.com) announced massive nationwide expansion, adding locations in five new states: New York, Texas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming. This rapid growth further validates Bitwise Industries' proven model of providing pathways into the technology industry for people coming from stories of poverty and/or exclusion. After raising over $100M in venture capital, Bitwise is now located in 10 cities across the country which include the California cities of: Fresno, Bakersfield, Merced, Oakland, Toledo, OH, Buffalo, NY, El Paso, TX, Greeley, CO, Las Cruces, NM, and Cheyenne, WY.
"We started Bitwise Industries nearly a decade ago with the hope of helping our local community and since then, Bitwise has positively impacted thousands of lives, driven economic growth in underestimated cities, and is creating the tech workforce of the future," said Jake Soberal, CEO and co-founder, Bitwise Industries. "Our goal is to bring our proven, repeatable approach to as many communities and people as possible. What has been successful in our first five cities, will become part of these new regions' stories of how investing in underestimated people and places can create a more inclusive and representative economy."
Bitwise Industries uses its unique two-sided marketplace approach to drive outcomes and growth. The company teaches people the skills they need to access opportunities in the tech economy–ranging from Salesforce administration to web development–and hires many of those trainees to build enterprise technology solutions for customers as a part of Bitwise Technology Consulting.
As such, training drives both individual transformation for the trainee and commercial scale for Bitwise. Customers and partners can work with Bitwise in purchasing talent pipelines or technology solutions. Bitwise surrounds students and companies with inspiring technology hubs in Bitwise cities, supportive amenities, and programming. Trainees have access to a robust set of non-technical resources like counseling, transportation, and childcare.
Today Bitwise operates one of the largest federally accredited apprenticeship programs in the country, which enables it to pay Bitwise apprentices to learn. It has trained over 8,000 non-traditional tech students in its Workforce Training program, with 80 percent of job seekers going on to earn technical employment. This accounts for $295M in aggregate wages being paid to mostly women and people of color. The average student enters our program making less than $20,000 a year and upon exit goes on to positions that make more than $60,000 a year.
On the heels of Bitwise's Series B announcement in 2021, the company has doubled in size, doubled in revenue, and hit record numbers in individuals enrolled in their Workforce Training programs. Through its Enterprise Technology Consulting, Bitwise builds demand for digital solutions and develops custom software for local organizations, while bringing thousands of jobs to each expansion city that supports the training of a new fleet of diverse tech workers.
"As we expand across the country we look forward to supercharging our efforts with the cities we currently serve and getting started in new communities," said Irma Olguin Jr., CEO and co-founder, Bitwise Industries. "Bitwise is a vehicle that has transformed lives, and cities. We look forward to helping more people left out of the digital economy to find financial independence and stability through increased employment opportunities, while bringing government digital infrastructure into the modern era with world-class software developed by the overlooked people we train and hire."
In each city that it serves, Bitwise renovates blighted historical buildings, creates a technology hub and houses its operations at the city's urban core to bring back life to the area. The company has already transformed a combined total of nearly a million square feet of downtown commercial space and will continue to do the same in new cities.
"With this expansion, the demonstrated impact of Bitwise Industries can now be shared with millions more underrepresented people across the country," said Mitchell Kapor, Partner at Kapor Capital. "Bitwise is expanding economic opportunities to reach the most vulnerable by creating accessible and attainable pathways to quality jobs."
"What began as the Founders' dream to encourage and train underrepresented people in their hometown of Fresno, CA for jobs in the ever growing tech economy Bitwise Industries, has blossomed into a unique and proven scalable model," said Paula Pretlow, Independent Board Director at Bitwise Industries. "Bitwise is truly making a difference, not only in the lives of those who are gaining skills and employment in tech, but also in the cities where it operates and arguably, the nation as a whole."
Bitwise Industries is supported by an outstanding roster of investors that include: Kapor Capital, Motley Fool Ventures, JP Morgan, ZOMA Capital, Candide Group, Gingerbread Capital, Promedica, M&T Bank, 43North Foundation, Acumen America, and the New Voices Fund.
About Bitwise Industries
Bitwise Industries creates a bridge between humans from marginalized communities and stories of systemic poverty to skills and resources necessary to access opportunities in the tech industry. By leveraging public-private partnerships, Bitwise provides paid apprenticeships to students to learn tech skills, connects them to meaningful tech opportunities, and builds vibrant buildings in underestimated cities to house their work. By upskilling disenfranchised humans, it empowers them to change their own lives—which ignites and transforms the regional economies of the cities in which Bitwise serves.
Bitwise has raised more than $100M in support of this important work; expanded its model to serve ten cities (California cities: Fresno, Bakersfield, Merced, and Oakland, Toledo, OH, Buffalo, NY, El Paso, TX, Greeley, CO, Las Cruces, NM, and Cheyenne, WY); and built a tech apprenticeship engine that will drive national jobs/economic recovery in 2022.

DETROIT (AP) — A building that featured a former movie theater on the outskirts of downtown Detroit will be redeveloped into affordable housing.
The $75 million project at the United Artists Building was announced Thursday by Mayor Mike Duggan and other city leaders.
The nearly 100-year-old building will have 148 apartments and retail and dining space when it opens late next year, the city said.
The 18-story building was designed by Detroit architect C. Howard Crane and opened in 1928. It has been mostly vacant for almost five decades.
Its redevelopment follows a number of other projects where once-vacant structures in Detroit are being reimagined for other uses.
“For nearly half a century, the United Artists Building has been one of our city’s iconic images of blight and abandonment,” Duggan said. “Today, just like we are doing with Michigan Central Station, Fisher Body 21, Lee Plaza and others, we are giving the United Artists Building new life, and turning blight into beauty."
The project received a $43 million Housing and Urban Development multifamily housing loan, $8.5 million from the Downtown Development Authority, $7 million from the Michigan Strategic Fund and $3 million in federal Community Development Block Grant funding, according to the city. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Vacant-United-Artists-Building-in-Detroit-to-be-17048451.php | 2022-03-31T16:43:26 | en | 0.970693 |

CAIRO (AP) — The World Bank has approved an additional $300 million for desperately needed aid for the poorest and most vulnerably households in war-torn Yemen, as well as for helping the country fight the coronavirus pandemic, according to a statement released Thursday.
Humanitarian efforts in Yemen were dealt a blow earlier this month when the United Nations raised only $1.3 billion — less than a third of what the organization had targeted to help the Arab world's poorest country. There are growing fears that the humanitarian needs of Yemen will become overshadowed by Russia's war in Ukraine.
“This additional financing will provide social safety nets and cash transfers to protect poor and vulnerable households across Yemen," said Tania Meyer, World Bank Country Manager for Yemen. "The program will provide immediate relief to households, as well as strengthen their resilience to food insecurity and malnutrition in the future.”
Since 2016, the World Bank has allocated a total of US$2.5 billion to help the Yemeni people. The new grant, which comes from World Bank’s fund for the poorest countries is also expected to help Yemen's response to the coronavirus pandemic, added the statement. So far, more than 2,000 people have died of COVID-19 in Yemen, according to figures reported by Yemeni authorities, though the actual pandemic death toll is believed to be much higher.
Yemen’s brutal war erupted in 2014 after the Houthis seized Sanaa. The Saudi-led coalition entered the war the following year to try restore the internationally recognized government. The conflict has in recent years become a regional proxy war that has killed more than 150,000 people, including over 14.500 civilians. It also created one of the worst humanitarian crises in the world.
The majority of Yemen’s roughly 32 million people live in Houthi-held areas. The rebels have for years been implicated in aid theft and withholdings in extortion schemes. More than 161,000 Yemenis are likely to experience famine over the second half of 2022, according to U.N. agencies and aid groups.
Initially, the U.N. had set out to raise $4.27 billion to help alleviate the disaster in Yemen. However, it raised less than one third of that at a pledging conference for Yemen earlier this month. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/World-Bank-allocates-300-million-to-help-Yemen-17048392.php | 2022-03-31T16:43:32 | en | 0.967413 |
Over $400 million now available to accelerate California's transition to zero-emission vehicles, representing biggest funding round in HVIP history
PASADENA, Texas, March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Air Resources Board's (CARB) Hybrid and Zero-Emission Truck and Bus Voucher Incentive Project (HVIP) reopens to new voucher requests today at 10 a.m. PT.
Launched by the California Air Resources Board in 2009, HVIP demonstrates the opportunity for first-come, first-served incentives that reduce the incremental cost of commercial vehicles. The project is administered by CALSTART, a national clean transportation nonprofit consortium.
The reopening offers $196.6 million in standard HVIP funding for California-based businesses and other organizations transitioning their fleets to zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs). HVIP vouchers reduce the purchase cost of advanced-technology vehicles to reduce emissions and air pollution, with increased incentives for vehicles in disadvantaged communities or purchased by tribal entities.
In addition to the standard HVIP voucher funds, the program also makes available funding to support the deployment of more than 1,000 zero-emission public transit buses, 1,000 zero-emission drayage trucks and 1,000 zero-emission school buses. Today, the program launches the initial round of funding to support these large-scale deployments and includes:
- $65.5 million for public transit buses
- Approximately $40 million for drayage trucks
- $122 million for public school buses
Once the drayage, public transit and public school bus set-asides are fully requested, HVIP will continue to allow standard voucher requests for these vocations while funding is still available. An additional $23.4 million set-aside for the Innovative Small E-Fleets (ISEF) program is set to open later this spring.
The 2021-2022 funding round is the biggest in HVIP history, a testament to the growing opportunity and support for the electrification of commercial vehicles.
"Taking steps to collectively build cleaner communities has never been more urgent, particularly in communities hit hardest by truck traffic pollution," CARB Chair Liane Randolph said. "California has always led the charge in putting more of the cleanest heavy-duty clean vehicles on our roads and highways. This important voucher program plays a critical role in supporting Governor Newsom's vision for all medium- and heavy-duty vehicles to transition entirely to zero-emission by 2045."
"HVIP is the leading incentive funding project in California for heavy-duty fleets that seek to transition to zero-emissions vehicles," said John Boesel, President & CEO at CALSTART. "We hope that other states will continue to build upon the example we've set to pursue their own clean air commitments."
To date, HVIP has funded over 9,000 clean trucks and buses — 60% of which are located in communities disproportionately burdened by environmental pollution. With this year's investment, HVIP's cumulative impact since its inception has utilized over $1 billion to put cleaner vehicles on the road. HVIP is part of California Climate Investments, a statewide initiative that puts billions of cap-and-trade dollars to work reducing greenhouse gas emissions, strengthening the economy, and improving public health and the environment — particularly in disadvantaged communities.

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — The appearance by video of the head of Ukrainian soccer, wearing an armored vest from the streets of Kyiv, brought the impact of Russia’s war into the FIFA Congress on Thursday.
“We have regularly received sad news of the deaths of members of the Ukrainian football community,” Andriy Pavelko said in a recorded message to the gathering in Qatar including delegates from Russia.
“They have been killed by the aggressors’ rockets from one of the biggest army in the world. Football has taken a back seat in our country.”
Kyiv hosted the Champions League final only four years ago. Then the soccer world shifted to Russia in 2018 for a World Cup that FIFA President Gianni Infantino still celebrated Thursday as “a great success sportingly and culturally."
“Obviously it did not solve the problems of the world,” Infantino said. “It did not even solve the problems in the region. It did not create a lasting peace.”
Infantino did not mention the man he was filmed juggling a ball with and praising in 2018: Russian President Vladimir Putin. Nor did Infantino blame or mention Russia in his speech.
There was a plea to “stop conflicts and wars” generally rather than specifically issuing a direct message to Putin, who awarded Infantino Russia’s Order of Friendship medal after the World Cup. And in the Doha audience was Alexey Sorokin, the chief executive of Russia’s 2018 organizing committee and former member of the FIFA Council.
There was an expression of regret from Sorokin but only that Pavelko “has these emotions” in the video address.
“It is difficult for them, we understand that,” Sorokin said. “But I’m here not to discuss politics or military activities or anything, I am here in the FIFA Congress.”
Russia won’t be in the draw for the World Cup on Friday after being disqualified from playing internationally by FIFA over the war. Ukraine can still qualify but its playoff semifinal against Scotland has been postponed until June with the hope the team will be in a position to return to the field by then.
For now, the priority for Ukraine is protecting the country from Russia as Pavelko told the FIFA Congress.
“Our children have suffered terrible psychological injuries. Perhaps football will help them forget the horrors of war,” he said as sandbags were being placed around a statute behind him in Kyiv. “I believe every word, prayer and action in support of Ukraine and against the war can stop it.
“We have no right to remain silent. Let there be no air-raid alarms in our cities, instead the songs of fans. Let the battles take place not in the streets with weapons but in crowded stadiums in fair football duel and let the spectators in the stands explode when their favorite team scores a goal, not the bombs.”

Wagner Machine Co. improves quality and profitability with a transformed Quality Management System that supports ISO and AS9100D Standards.
CHAMPAIGN, Ill., March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The leadership team at Wagner Machine Co. has recognized the value of maintaining a robust quality management system for many years. As they were already using ISO compliant quality procedures, they desired to attain certification of their quality system to industry standards. They had previously worked with IMEC on other projects, so reaching out to them about ISO 9001:2015 certification was an obvious move. Shortly into the process, they learned of a pool of new customers they were missing out on because they lacked AS9100D certification. "We had the advanced machining capabilities they were looking for but we couldn't even approach them without the proper certification." reflects Kurt Wagner, CEO of Wagner Machine.
Solution
Dual certification to ISO9001 and AS9100D required about 20% more time and resources, but it was well worth it to the Wagner team. IMEC partnered with Qual Train Consulting to help the Wagner team meet their certification goal. The process began with transitioning Wagner Machine's current Quality Management System to one that was compliant with the AS9100D Standard. After being in business for 40 years, it was a tedious, but worthwhile process to convert years of established procedures to match the new standard while steering the culture to appreciate the value of consistent processes.
IMEC assisted in training the management team at Wagner Machine to develop an understanding of the AS9100D standards and policies. Training included developing detailed procedures and work instructions that were AS9100D compliant and creating robust and efficient procedures. The team also received internal auditor training that covered how to schedule and conduct internal audits. In the final stages, IMEC helped Wagner Machine identify and select a trusted registrar.
"IMEC was instrumental in our ISO9001:2015/AS9100D certification. They helped us make key connections to implement our Quality Management System in a way that provides huge benefits for Wagner Machine Company and all our customers." Kurt Wagner, CEO of Wagner Machine Co.
Becoming AS9100D certified has allowed the Wagner team to increase their level of quality in both processes and products and opened the door for new opportunities. As Wagner was completing the certification process, they compiled a list of prospects who require AS9100D certification to conduct business. They planned to reach out to these companies once certified. Before they even had the chance to initiate conversations, prospective customers were already contacting Wagner Machine. Since there aren't a lot of companies with this certification, word spreads rapidly when one is newly available for customers that require AS9100D certified suppliers. Since then, Wagner has been reaping the benefits of this new avenue for gaining customers.
On the shop floor, there is much more clarity; "our work instructions are standardized now, and we don't have three slightly different copies of a work instruction for the same process. It is clear how things are supposed to be done in the shop and if anything is out of line, we can spot it immediately." said Kurt Wagner. Adopting the AS9100D Standard has been a challenge, but it has been well worth it. Kurt was appreciative that the employees didn't react unfavorably due to the misconception that becoming ISO or AS9100 certified meant changing all processes, adding extra steps, or requiring more time. He noted, "The initial goal was to make sure we were meeting the basics of the standard. That required some changes, but we tried to keep them to a minimum because we had an established system that was working. Over time, we have found more opportunities to improve our processes and even reduce redundant work, so we are constantly making minor adjustments based on information we collect.
Going forward, Wagner will continue to focus on maintaining a high level of quality that follows the AS9100D Standard and will conduct regular internal audits to ensure they provide consistent and reliable quality for all their customers – not just those that require certification.

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Congo’s government has requested that the spokesman for the United Nations mission in Congo leave the country, saying he has made inappropriate statements amid demonstrations against the presence of the U.N. peacekeepers.
Foreign Minister Christophe Lutundula wrote to the U.N. mission, known as MONUSCO, saying he considers that the current tensions between the U.N. and the population are due to the indelicate and inopportune statements by U.N. Congo spokesman Mathias Gillman.
“The Congolese government considers that the presence of this official on the national territory is not likely to promote a climate of mutual trust and serenity so essential between the Congolese institutions and MONUSCO,” the statement said.
“The Congolese government would greatly appreciate if arrangements are made for Mr. Gillman to leave the territory as soon as possible.”
There was no immediate communication from the U.N. on the request.
The government did not point to specific statements made by Gillman, but in July during a press conference, he mentioned that MONUSCO and the Congolese army have limited means to deal with several fronts of attacks, in particular those by the M23 rebel group which has gained more weapons and is staging heavy attacks on civilians.
Congo’s government held a crisis meeting earlier this week to reassess the presence of United Nations peacekeepers after protests against the force in the country’s east killed at least 36 people and injured more than 170 others.
The government will also meet with the U.N. mission to discuss the possibilities for its withdrawal.
The U.N. force has already withdrawn from two provinces of Congo, Kasai and Tanganyika.
The statement from the foreign minister mentioned 2024 as the goal, saying that they wanted the spokesman removed to help “complete the transition plan for the end of its final withdrawal from Congo, by the horizon 2024, as agreed.”
The U.N. force in Congo, known as MONUSCO, has about 16,000 uniformed personnel but has not succeeded in stabilizing the country’s volatile east.
Congo’s mineral-rich east is home to myriad rebel groups. Security has worsened there despite a year of emergency operations by the armies of Congo and Uganda. Civilians in the east have also faced violence from jihadi rebels linked to the Islamic State group. Fighting has also escalated between Congolese troops and the M23 rebels, forcing nearly 200,000 people to flee their homes. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Congo-asks-UN-mission-spokesman-to-leave-amid-17347926.php | 2022-08-03T14:32:32 | en | 0.975358 |

BERLIN (AP) — The German government on Wednesday presented its plans for new coronavirus measures for the coming fall and winter as it expects virus cases to go up again during the colder season.
Wearing masks on planes and during long-distance travel by train and bus will be mandatory from October to early April all over Germany. Mandatory mask-wearing and the presentation of a negative coronavirus test will apply to hospitals, nursing homes and similar institutions with vulnerable people.
Many other rules will be implemented individually by the country's 16 states depending on how severely the virus spreads in their regions. This could include the wearing of masks on local public transportation, in schools for students in grade five and up, and at public indoor events.
Some community facilities such as schools, prisons or asylum-seeker shelters may also implement regular testing again if virus numbers rise, the German health and justice ministers said in a joint statement.
“Germany should be better prepared for the next coronavirus winter than in previous years,” Health Minister Karl Lauterbach said, adding that a vaccination campaign would start in the fall as well, with new vaccines.
Justice Minister Marco Buschmann added that special efforts will be made to keep schools open.
“Children have a right to school education and a school day that is as carefree as possible. School closures must therefore not be allowed,” Buschmann said, adding that states will “only be able to impose a mask requirement at schools if this is necessary in order to be able to continue to provide in-person teaching.”
The new regulations still need to go to Cabinet and parliament but are expected to pass. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Germany-announces-new-coronavirus-measures-for-17347957.php | 2022-08-03T14:32:39 | en | 0.971389 |

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — The Dutch government declared a national water shortage Wednesday caused by the hot, dry summer that is parching much of Europe, and formed a national team to draw up measures to manage supplies, while asking the public to also chip in with savings.
“The water shortage is already having a negative effect on shipping and agriculture in particular,” said Minister of Infrastructure and Water Management Mark Harbers.
He urged people “to think carefully about whether they should wash their car or completely fill their inflatable swimming pool. The Netherlands is a water country, but our water is precious here too.”
Very little rain has fallen in the Netherlands over the summer, and dry conditions further north and east in Europe mean less water is streaming into the country in rivers.
The government said that drinking water supplies are not threatened and said new measures are not yet necessary, but could be “in coming weeks.”
Water authorities in parts of the country already have put restrictions on farmers spraying crops with water, and several small ferries crossing rivers have been forced out of service because of low water levels. The drought conditions also are hindering freight-carrying barges that ply the country's rivers.
Amid soaring temperatures last month, authorities in Amsterdam were forced to spray water on mechanical bridges to stop them expanding and jamming shut.
The Netherlands is the latest country to feel the effects of the dry conditions. The European Union’s executive warned last month that the continent is facing one of its toughest years when it comes to natural disasters like droughts and wildfires because of increasing climate change. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Hot-dry-summer-Dutch-government-declares-water-17347991.php | 2022-08-03T14:32:45 | en | 0.967419 |

ST. LOUIS (AP) — The climate deal reached last week by Senate Democrats could reduce the amount of greenhouse gases that American farmers produce by expanding programs that help accumulate carbon in soil, fund climate-focused research and lower the abundant methane emissions that come from cows.
The bill includes more than $20 billion to improve the agriculture sector’s impact on the environment, mostly by expanding existing U.S. Department of Agriculture programs that help farmers change to better practices. Farmers would be paid to improve the health of their soil, withstand extreme weather and protect their land if the bill is enacted.
The roughly $370 billion climate and energy spending deal would bring the country closer to cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, according to new analyses. That is something many scientists say is important, and that President Joe Biden promised. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., a long-time holdout on climate legislation, endorsed measures that would benefit electric vehicles, renewable energy and climate-friendly farming. Agriculture is responsible for 11% of the country's climate-warming emissions.
The funding would expand programs favored by both environmental groups and the agricultural sector, said Ben Thomas, who focuses on agriculture at the Environmental Defense Fund.
“They are voluntary, they are incentive-based, they get results in terms of implementing conservation practices on working lands,” said Thomas. “It’s great to see.”
Thomas said historically, the agricultural sector has not aggressively tackled its contribution to climate change, but that hesitation has shifted in recent years and more money will accelerate progress. There's a lot of potential, he said.
“It is worth taking very, very seriously,” Thomas said.
Cows belch an enormous amount of methane and agriculture is responsible for more than one-third of human-caused methane emissions, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. This is a way that people's diets — if they are high in meat or dairy — contribute to greenhouse gas buildup. The bill directs funds towards altering what cows eat to reduce those emissions.
On farms, soil can hold or sequester carbon if it is left undisturbed and covered by a crop. Money from the bill will expand programs that help farmers turn their soil less, implement climate-friendly crop rotation practices and plant cover crops that aren’t for harvest but improve soil health.
“The historic funding validates the fact that these practices are important,” said Ranjani Prabhakar, an agriculture and climate policy specialist at the environmental group Earthjustice
Cover crops, for example, are only used by a fraction of farmers. If their use were to triple — from around 5% of cropland to 15% — it could remove the equivalent of 14 megatons of carbon dioxide per year, roughly the total annual emissions of New Hampshire, according to Kevin Karl, a flood food and climate researcher at Columbia University.
“The adoption rate is so low,” Karl said. “There’s a lot of potential improvement.”
Federal officials already offer farmers help with a variety of environmentally-focused issues including irrigation and fertilizer use. One program helps fund conservation easements for agricultural land.
Dan Sheafer works on nitrogen research with the Illinois Fertilizer and Chemical Association and operates a 20-acre farm. He plants cover crops and keeps soil disturbance to a minimum — practices that benefit soil health and reduce soil erosion. But he said cover crops also have drawbacks, requiring farmers who want an environmental benefit to change their practices.
“There's just more time involved with doing cover crops,” he said.
The bill also includes money for research. While it is clear that managing soil properly can capture carbon, more needs to be known about important questions like how long sequestered carbon stays in soil.
Kaiyu Guan, a professor focused on climate and agriculture at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, said some people believe farmers don’t pay enough attention to climate change.
“I think farmers shouldn’t be blamed, they actually should be incentivized,” Guan said. “Not only are they doing this to be part of the solution to help the climate, they are doing this to help their land."

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran, the United States and the European Union said Wednesday they would send representatives to Vienna amid what appears to be a last-ditch effort at reviving talks over Tehran's tattered 2015 nuclear deal with world powers.
It wasn't immediately clear if other parties to the landmark accord would attend the surprise summit, nor if there had any progress after a monthslong stalemate and fruitless round of indirect talks between Iran and the U.S. in Doha.
The European Union official who chairs the talks, Enrique Mora, wrote on Twitter that the negotiations would focus on the most recent draft on restoring the agreement, while Tehran said it was dispatching nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri Kani to the Austrian capital.
U.S. Special Representative for Iran Rob Malley was expected to go to Vienna for the talks on Thursday, two American officials said. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the plans before they were announced.
The prospects for the deal's restoration have darkened in the past few months with major sticking points remaining, including Tehran's demand that Washington provide guarantees that it won’t again quit the pact and that it lift terrorism sanctions on Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.
The abruptly called meeting in Vienna comes after EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell has repeatedly pushed to break the deadlock and salvage the deal in past weeks. He recently wrote in The Financial Times that “the space for additional significant compromises has been exhausted.”
Former President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 deal, which lifted most international sanctions on Tehran in exchange for tight restrictions on Iran’s nuclear program. Since then, Iran has massively expanded its nuclear work and now has enough highly enriched uranium to fuel one nuclear weapon, according to nonproliferation experts.
However, Iran still would need to design a bomb and a delivery system for it, likely a monthslong project. Iran insists its program is for peaceful purposes, though U.N. experts and Western intelligence agencies say Iran had an organized military nuclear program through 2003.

(CNN)A kidnapped girl's escape in Alabama has led to the discovery of two decomposing bodies and the arrest of a man now facing murder and kidnapping charges, authorities said.
Police got a call Monday morning from a driver about a 12-year-old girl walking alone along County Road 34 in Dadeville, Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said Tuesday at a news conference.
The girl had been restrained to bed posts for about a week, according to a criminal complaint. She had chewed off her restraints -- breaking her braces -- and her wrists show marks consistent with restraint, it states.
The 12-year-old had been given alcohol to stay "in a drugged state" and was assaulted in the "head area," the complaint states. She had not been reported missing, the sheriff said.
Jose Paulino Pascual-Reyes, 37, was arrested Monday about 25 miles away in Auburn on suspicion of first-degree kidnapping by US Marshals and police, the sheriff said, adding other agencies are also on the case.
While searching Pascual-Reyes' home, detectives found two decomposed bodies, the sheriff said. A forensics team is working to identify the corpses, he said, and how and when they died wasn't immediately known. The sheriff further stated that "other people" were living in the residence. The sheriff did not say whether these people were being charged or held in connection with the alleged crimes at the residence.
Pascual-Reyes also faces three counts of capital murder and two counts of abuse of corpse, Abbett said in a news release.
"We're looking at multiple counts of capital murder, along with kidnapping in the first degree," Tallapoosa County District Attorney Jeremy Duerr said during the news conference. "And of course, once we continue and finish our investigation, I feel certain that several more charges will follow."
Pascual-Reyes awaits a bond hearing at the Tallapoosa County Jail, Abbett said. It wasn't immediately clear if he had a lawyer.
"This is horrendous to have a crime scene of this nature and also a 12-year-old juvenile to deal with this horrendous situation," Abbett said, calling the girl "a hero."
While the Sheriff did not give any details about when the girl might have been kidnapped or any possible relationship with Pascual-Reyes, he did say she had received medical care and was doing well.
"She's safe now and ... we want to keep her that way," Abbett said. | https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/03/us/alabama-kidnapping-leads-to-corpse-discovery/index.html | 2022-08-03T14:33:06 | en | 0.984376 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — A bipartisan group of senators on Wednesday proposed a bill to regulate cryptocurrencies, the latest attempt by Congress to formulate ideas on how to oversee a multibillion-dollar industry that has been racked by collapsing prices and lenders halting operations.
The regulations offered by Senate Agriculture Committee chair Debbie Stabenow and top Republican member John Boozman would authorize the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to be the default regulator for cryptocurrencies. That would be in contrast with bills proposed by other members of Congress and consumer advocates, who have suggested giving the authority to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
This year, crypto investors have seen prices plunge and companies crater with fortunes and jobs disappearing overnight, and some firms have been accused by federal regulators of running an illegal securities exchange. Bitcoin, the largest digital asset, trades at a fraction of its all-time high, down from more than $68,000 in November 2021 to about $23,000 on Wednesday. Industry leaders have referred to this period as a “crypto winter,” and lawmakers have been desperate to implement stringent oversight.
The bill by Stabenow, a Democrat from Michigan, and Boozman, of Arkansas, would require all cryptocurrency platforms — including traders, dealers, brokers and sites that hold crypto for customers — to register with the CFTC.
The CFTC is historically an underfunded and much smaller regulator than the SEC, which has armies of investigators to look at potential wrongdoing. The bill attempts to alleviate these issues by imposing on the crypto industry user fees, which in turn would fund more robust supervision of the industry by the CFTC.
"Our bill will empower the CFTC with exclusive jurisdiction over the digital commodities spot market, which will lead to more safeguards for consumers, market integrity and innovation in the digital commodities space,” Boozman said in a statement.
Sens. Cory Booker, D-N.J., and John Thune, R-S.D., are co-sponsors of the bill.
"It’s critical that the (CFTC) has the proper tools to regulate this growing market,” Thune said.
The legislation can be added to the list of proposals that have come out of Congress this year.
Sen. Pat Toomey, R-Pa., in April introduced legislation, called the Stablecoin TRUST Act, that would create a framework to regulate stablecoins, which have seen massive losses this year. Stablecoins are a type of cryptocurrency pegged to a specific value, usually the U.S. dollar, another currency or gold.
Additionally, in June, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., and Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., proposed a wide-ranging bill, called the Responsible Financial Innovation Act. That bill proposed legal definitions of digital assets and virtual currencies; would require the IRS to adopt guidance on merchant acceptance of digital assets and charitable contributions; and would make a distinction between digital assets that are commodities and those that are securities, which has not been done.
Along with the Toomey legislation and the Lummis-Gillibrand legislation, a proposal is being worked out in the House Financial Services Committee, though those negotiations have stalled.
Committee chair Maxine Waters, D-Calif., said last month that while she, top Republican member Patrick McHenry of North Carolina and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen had made considerable progress toward an agreement on the legislation, "we are unfortunately not there yet, and will therefore continue our negotiations over the August recess.”
President Joe Biden's working group on financial markets last November issued a report calling on Congress to pass legislation that would regulate stablecoins, and Biden earlier this year issued an executive order calling on a variety of agencies to look at ways to regulate digital assets.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — A record amount of seaweed is smothering Caribbean coasts from Puerto Rico to Barbados as tons of brown algae kill wildlife, choke the tourism industry and release toxic gases.
More than 24 million tons of sargassum blanketed the Atlantic in June, up from 18.8 million tons in May, according to a monthly report published by the University of South Florida’s Optical Oceanography Lab that noted “a new historical record.”
July saw no decrease of algae in the Caribbean Sea, said Chuanmin Hu, an optical oceanography professor who helps produce the reports.
“I was scared,” he recalled feeling when he saw the historic number for June. He noted it was 20% higher than the previous record set in May 2018.
Hu compiled additional data for The Associated Press that showed sargassum levels for the eastern Caribbean at a near record high this year, second only to those reported in July 2018. Levels in the northern Caribbean are at their third highest, following July 2018 and July 2021, he said.
Scientists say more research is needed to determine why sargassum levels in the region are reaching new highs, but the United Nations’ Caribbean Environment Program says possible factors include a rise in water temperatures as a result of climate change and nitrogen-laden fertilizers and sewage waste fueling algae blooms.
“This year has been the worst year on record,” said Lisa Krimsky, a researcher and faculty member with Florida Sea Grant and a water resources regional specialized agent at University of Florida. “It is absolutely devastating for the region.”
She said large masses of seaweed have a severe environmental impact, with decaying algae altering water temperatures and the pH balance as well as leading to declines in seagrass, coral reef and sponge populations.
“They’re essentially being smothered out,” Krimsky said.
The “golden tide” also has hit humans hard.
The concentration of algae is so heavy in some parts of the eastern Caribbean that the French island of Guadeloupe issued a health alert in late July. It warned some communities about high levels of hydrogen sulfide emanating from huge rotting clumps of seaweed, which can affect people with respiratory problems including asthma.
The Biden administration declared a federal emergency after the U.S. Virgin Islands warned last month of “unusually high amounts” of sargassum affecting water production at a desalination plant near St. Croix that is struggling to meet demand amid a drought.
“We’re consuming as much as we can produce right now,” said Daryl Jaschen, director of the islands’ emergency management agency. “We’re very concerned about that.”
In addition, the U.S. Virgin Island’s electricity generating station relies on ultra-pure water from the desalination plant to reduce emissions monitored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The loss of such water would force the government to use a type of diesel fuel that is more expensive and in limited supply, officials said.
Experts first noted large amounts of sargassum in the Caribbean Sea in 2011 that Hu and other scientists think were created by stronger than normal winds and currents. The problem has worsened as clumps multiplied, fueled by nutrients and strong sunlight.
“In the tropical Atlantic, everything was right,” Hu said. “Everything grows fast.”
Sargassum in moderation helps purify water, absorb carbon dioxide and is a key habitat for fish, turtles, shrimp, crabs and other creatures. But it is bad for tourism, the economy and the environment when too much accumulates just offshore or on beaches.
A carpet of brown algae recently surrounded an uninhabited island near the French Caribbean territory of St. Martin that is popular with tourists, forcing officials to suspend ferry service and cancel kayaking and snorkeling tours. The normally translucent waters around Pinel Island turned into a prickly brown slush.
“This is the worst we’ve ever seen it for sure,” said Melody Rouveure, general manager for a tour company in the Dutch Caribbean territory of St. Maarten, which shares an island with St. Martin. “It did ruin my personal beach plans.”
On Union Island, which is part of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the seaweed invasion has forced some resorts to close for up to five months in the past.
Masses of sargassum also have strangled the Caribbean’s fishing industry. It damages boat engines and fishing gear, prevents fishermen from reaching their boats and fishing areas and leads to a drop in the number of fish caught. Barbados has been especially hit hard since flying fish make up 60% of the island’s annual landed catch, according to the University of the West Indies.
An overabundance of sargassum was blamed for the recent deaths of thousands of fish at the French Caribbean island of Martinique. It also has activists concerned about the plight of endangered turtles, with some dying at sea entangled in seaweed or unable to lay their eggs given the mat of algae covering the sand.
In the Cayman Islands, a thick carpet of sargassum had prompted officials to launch a trial program in which crews pumped more than 2,880 square feet (268 square meters) of seaweed out of the water. But on Tuesday, the government announced it suspended removal efforts because the level of decomposition made it impractical.
“The sargassum stranding in the North Sound is unlike any we have experienced previously in terms of its location, weather conditions and scale," officials said.
Other island nations have opted to use heavy machinery to remove seaweed from the beach, but scientists warn that causes erosion and could destroy the nests of endangered turtles.
Attempts to use sargassum as fertilizer, food, biofuel, construction material or medicinal products continue, but many Caribbean islands are unable to remove the vast amounts of the seaweed because they are struggling financially and have limited resources.
Gov. Albert Bryan of the U.S. Virgin Islands said he asked President Joe Biden to declare a federal emergency for the entire three-island territory, not just St. Croix, but that didn’t happen. Bryan said he is now trying to find local funds to clean beaches, “but a lot of things need money right now.”
Since 2011, large amounts of sargassum have invaded the Caribbean every year except 2013 — an anomaly that scientists believe may have resulted from a lack of nutrients and a change in wind strength and direction. And the record amounts reported in recent years are even more concerning for scientists and island governments.
“We don’t know if this is a new normal,” Krimsky said. “This has been devastating for over a decade.” | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Record-amount-of-seaweed-is-choking-shores-in-the-17347942.php | 2022-08-03T14:33:16 | en | 0.960811 |

THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) — Under fluttering strings of Greek and Byzantine flags, three men raised a party tent on the terrace of the 5th century Osios David church one recent Saturday, hoping it would shelter festivalgoers from the heat that already shrouded the view of Mount Olympus across the gulf.
That’s Thessaloniki in a snapshot — a seaside trove of early Christian art and architecture, with echoes of the sacred all around the city, from the mythical mountain home of the ancient Greek gods to the contemporary Orthodox Christian monasticism of Mount Athos.
Pervasive if more hidden traces of Islam and Judaism also persist, even though many monuments were destroyed in a 1917 fire.
“People see the (archeological) ruins next to them, but no one knows the diverse history,” said Angeliki Ziaka, a professor of religion at Thessaloniki’s Aristotle University. “Now is the time to rebuild this knowledge, to find the intermarriage of cultures.”
Each of the last six years, I’ve spent at least a few days in and around Greece’s second-largest metropolis, which bubbles with the energy of a city historically at the crossroads of Europe and Asia, about halfway between Athens and Istanbul.
I find Thessaloniki eminently walkable even in the summer heat, thanks to an inexhaustible supply of the iced coffee drink called frappé and the sea breezes off the Thermaic Gulf. Overlooking its waters are the iconic White Tower and a beloved, miles-long promenade.
Simple meandering leads to monuments woven into today’s urban fabric: Going to buy roses at the flower market, I discovered next to it a 500-year-old bathhouse (hammam) built by the Ottomans in the multi-domed style of Byzantine architecture and named Yahudi Hammam, after the Sephardic Jews who settled here.
The hammams and the still-functioning markets were for centuries the mingling places for the city’s Jews, Muslims and Christians, who lived in separate neighborhoods, Ziaka said.
During centuries of Muslim Ottoman domination — a legacy perhaps most immediately visible in today’s profusion of buzzing coffee shops — Thessaloniki was the refuge of a thriving Jewish community. Its history, told by the Jewish Museum, will be further spotlighted in a Holocaust museum and education center that’s in the works.
Until the beginning of the 20th century, most Muslims lived in the Ano Poli, a quiet warren of walled gardens, houses with overhanging upper floors detailed in wood, and steeply inclined streets climbing to a hilltop fortress.
But more than a millennium before the Ottoman conquest, it was here that St. Paul first brought Christianity to the Thessalonians – to whom he later wrote some of Christendom’s most widely read letters.
Churches dating from across the centuries when Thessaloniki was a center of the Byzantine Empire still dot the labyrinthine landscape.
Down a tiny, fruit-tree-lined alleyway that opens to a spectacular sea view, diminutive Osios David preserves in its cupola a 1,600-year-old mosaic of Christ presiding over fish-filled rivers of paradise, with two Old Testament prophets looking on in astonishment.
Frescoes from the 12th century adorn the walls, though the city’s most outstanding mural paintings are at Agios Nikolaos Orfanos, another small Ano Poli church deep inside a garden. Their colors still vivid after 700 years, they portray the lives of Jesus, prophets and saints in minute and individual details, such as one hermit’s flowing beard and matching striped tunic and cap.
Just downhill from the church is the Rotunda, a capsule of Thessaloniki’s interconnected religious history.
The vast circular building was constructed as a Roman temple or mausoleum in the 300s, shortly after became a Christian church, later on a mosque – whose tall minaret remains standing – and is now a museum and a sanctuary for dozens of swifts that fly chirping around it.
Liturgy is still celebrated a dozen times a year, but most visitors come for the early Byzantine golden mosaics adorning the immense dome, portraying a fusion of Roman architecture and Christian worship with people praying in front of the empire’s most luxurious buildings.
From the worshippers’ distinctive coiffures to the curtains billowing in the pavilions behind them, it’s a slice of early Christianity come alive — the beginning of a religious story that continues uninterrupted to this day, as in the woman kissing icons around the corner at Agios Panteleimon, a church built in the late 13th century and still actively used.
Its precise brickwork, exuberance of domes and rounded windows and niches — and its location in a garden full of flowering oleander bushes surrounded by café terraces — makes it quintessential Thessaloniki.
There are plenty more churches and museums to explore in the city, but I always try to fit in some excursions to the countryside.
In the fertile plains to the west are vestiges of the city’s founding dynasty — that of Alexander the Great, born in ancient Pella and celebrated in its museum and excavations.
Less than an hour’s drive away, the Museum of the Royal Tombs at Aigai takes you underground into a reconstruction of the burial mounds of Alexander’s father and other Macedonian royals. In the dark exhibit halls, artwork like a massive crown of nearly 400 gold oak leaves and acorns shines blindingly.
So does the sun on the beaches of Halkidiki, the three-fingered peninsula extending into the Aegean Sea to the southeast of Thessaloniki.
From the pine-topped, white rock formations of my favorite, Kavourotrypes Beach, I can see holy Mount Athos across the bay.
Through the beach bar owner’s binoculars, I even make out several of its Orthodox Christian monasteries, part of a complex dating back to the Byzantine era where about 2,000 monks live.
Since women are barred from stepping foot on Mount Athos, though we can approach on boat tours, I content myself with sipping another frappé before diving into the transparent sea.

BEIRUT (AP) — Ukraine's ambassador to Lebanon on Wednesday insisted a Syrian ship docked at a Lebanese port is carrying stolen Ukrainian grain and urged Lebanon to block the vessel from leaving.
The claim comes just days before the tiny cash-strapped country receives Ukraine’s first grain shipment since Russia’s invasion began over five months ago.
The Syrian-flagged Laodicea has been anchored at the port of Tripoli since it arrived last Thursday, carrying 10,000 tons of wheat flour and barley. Ukraine says the grain was stolen by Russia.
Ukrainian Ambassador to Lebanon Ihor Ostash urged Lebanon not to allow the vessel to leave the port.
The U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned the ship in 2015 for its affiliation with the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad, a close political and military ally to Moscow.
A senior Lebanese customs official said Friday that Ukraine’s claims that the ship contained stolen goods were untrue and that the vessel's papers appeared in order following an inspection.
Lebanon, already in the throes of a crippling economic and political crisis, has found itself entangled in the fallout from Russia’s war in Ukraine. A judge on Monday ordered the Laodicea not to set sail for 72 hours, following a request from Kyiv. However, Lebanon’s prosecutor general the following day decided the ship could set sail.
The Laodicea is now free to go once those 72 hours pass but that would anger Ukraine. Russia’s diplomatic mission in Lebanon praised the move, accusing Ukraine of lying about the cargo and trying to damage relations between Moscow and Beirut.
Ostash at a news conference Wednesday presented documents and mapping of the Laodicea’s journey and cargo. He said that evidence from Kyiv’s security agencies and judiciary indicates the vessel contained stolen goods.
“Of course it’s important to understand that we would like to go via legal procedures to ... provide all possible evidences and proofs of the Ukrainian side,” Ostash said. He presented a photo of what appears to be the Laodicea being loaded with the cargo in the Russia-annexed Crimea peninsula.
The ongoing fuss over the Laodicea comes as the first grain ship carrying 26,000 tons of Ukrainian corn aboard the Sierra Leone-flagged Razoni entered Turkey’s Bosporus Strait en route to the Tripoli port in Lebanon. It’s the first grain ship heading from the war-torn country since Russia’s invasion in late February.
A Lebanese official told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the ship is expected to take about four days to arrive in Lebanon from Istanbul after it was searched.
After presenting Kyiv’s latest evidence about the Laodicea, Ostash turned to the Razoni, which he said unlike the Syrian ship carried “in a legal way, not stolen, original Ukrainian grain.”
Lebanon condemned Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, which angered Moscow and its allies in Beirut. Ostash praised Lebanon again for taking this position.
The shipments come at a time when Lebanon is suffering from a food security crisis, with soaring food inflation, wheat shortages and breadlines.

A Utah-based resort company that owns several ski areas has made a bid to buy Jay Peak Resort, the Vermont ski resort that was rocked by a massive fraud case involving its former owner and president.
The court appointed receiver who has been overseeing Jay Peak for more than six years is seeking court approval to sell it for $58 million to Pacific Group Resorts, Inc., which owns Ragged Mountain Resort in New Hampshire, Powderhorn Mountain Resort in Colorado, and Mount Washington Alpine Resort in Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
Receiver Michael Goldberg wants to be able to continue to market Jay Peak, and if there are qualified bids, an auction would be held “in order to assure the highest and best offer," according to Monday's court filing.
“The time has come for the Receiver to sell Jay Peak Resort," Goldberg wrote, adding that when he took over Jay Peak in April 2016 it was on the verge of collapse but now is “significantly more profitable and hundreds of jobs have been saved.”
The former Jay Peak owner, former president and an adviser were sentenced this spring to federal prison for their roles in a failed plan to build a biotechnology plant using tens of millions of dollars in foreign investors’ money raised through a special visa program.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the state of Vermont also alleged in 2016 that the then-owner and then-president took part in a “massive eight-year fraudulent scheme" that involved misusing more than $200 million of about $400 million raised from foreign investors for various ski area developments through the same visa program.
They settled civil charges with the SEC, with former owner Ariel Quiros surrendering more than $80 million in assets, including Jay Peak and Burke Mountain ski resorts. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Utah-based-company-makes-bid-to-buy-Vermont-17348097.php | 2022-08-03T14:33:35 | en | 0.982953 |
LONDON (AP) — England's women's soccer team is continuing to generate unprecedented fan interest following its European Championship victory, with 65,000 tickets sold in less than 24 hours for its planned game against the United States at Wembley Stadium in October.
The game pitting the European champion against the reigning world champion was announced on Tuesday by England's Football Association and will be played Oct. 7, subject to England having secured World Cup qualification in September.
The Lionesses’ official Twitter account on Wednesday said: “YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING. 65,000 tickets have already been sold for our October international against the United States!”
The ticketing website briefly crashed on Tuesday amid the huge demand.
It comes after a crowd of 87,192 — the biggest-ever attendance for a European Championship match, men’s or women’s — saw the Lionesses beat Germany 2-1 after extra time at Wembley on Sunday as England's women's team secured its first major trophy.
Sarina Wiegman’s team will play World Cup qualifiers against Austria away on Sept. 3 and then Luxembourg at Stoke’s stadium three days later. Ticket sales for the latter fixture had reached 20,000 by midday on Tuesday.
England currently tops its World Cup qualifying group with a maximum 24 points from eight matches and would seal qualification for next year’s tournament in Australia and New Zealand with a draw against second-place Austria or a win against Luxembourg.
If England has to play in the World Cup playoffs in October, anyone with a ticket for the U.S. game would be entitled to a refund, the FA said.

DUBLIN, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Air based Defense Equipment Global Market Report 2022, By Type, Operation, Component" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
The global air based defense equipment market is expected to grow from $ 178.46 billion in 2021 to $ 191.74 billion in 2022 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.4%. The growth is mainly due to the companies rearranging their operations and recovering from the COVID-19 impact, which had earlier led to restrictive containment measures involving social distancing, remote working, and the closure of commercial activities that resulted in operational challenges. The market is expected to reach $ 246.42 billion in 2026 at a CAGR of 6.5%.
The air-based defense equipment market consists of sales of air-based defense equipment by entities (organizations, sole traders, and partnerships) that produce air-based defense equipment including support and auxiliary equipment for the air-based defense such as radar, satellites, sonars and other auxiliary equipment.
The main types of air-based defense equipment are fighter aircraft; military helicopters military gliders and drones. A fighter aircraft is a fixed-wing aircraft designed for air-to-air combat against other aircraft. The various forms of ownership include private and public. The different components include weapon system, fire control system, command and control system, others.
Asia Pacific was the largest region in the air based defense equipment market in 2021. Western Europe is expected to be the fastest growing region in the forecast period. The regions covered in this report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East and Africa.
Rapid advances in wireless technology and miniaturization (which refers to designing smaller components for equipment) are expected to drive innovation in the air-based defense market, thus driving the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, technologies such as 3D printing, artificial intelligence, and big data analytics are being used during the manufacturing process, resulting in higher productivity, lower operating costs, and higher margins.
Uncertainty about government stabilities and policies affects the import of raw materials required for manufacturing aircraft parts, creating a negative impact on the air-based defense equipment market. Uncertainties about government policies brought about by the cancellation of trade agreements cause companies to decrease their import volumes to keep expenditures at the levels of previous years or to increase prices of finished products due to increased costs.
For instance, the withdrawal of the USA from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade deal and the $250 billion tariffs on imported products from China by the US government to protect the US steel industry, have pushed up the costs for all defense as well as for commercial aircraft parts. Therefore, hindering the growth of the air-based defense equipment market.
Companies in the air-based defense equipment manufacturing market are using 3D printing technology to develop lightweight structures as well as nonstructural military aircraft parts. 3D printing technology can be used to build three-dimensional objects using digital models by laying successive layers of material.
3D printing is used in air-based equipment manufacturing to create military aircraft parts with complex geometries quickly at a low cost. The technology creates three-dimensional models of aircraft parts using metals, plastics, polymers, ceramics, and other derivatives. For instance, in 2019, the U.S. Air force installed 17 3D printing parts on its C-5 Super Galaxy transport jet. The installed parts included crew bunk areas of the plane, overhead panels, reading, and emergency light covers, window reveals gasper panels and aluminum seal retention handles.

At 4.7% CAGR, Global Eye Allergy Therapeutics Market Size & Share Will Hit US$ 3838.7 Million by 2028 | Industry Trends, Demand, Growth, Value, Analysis & Forecast Report by Zion Market Research
NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As per Zion Market Research study, The global eye allergy therapeutics market size was worth around USD 2,914.1 million in 2021 and is estimated to grow to about USD 3,838.7 million by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4.7% over the forecast period.
Eye Allergy Therapeutics Market: Overview
Allergies to the eyes, also known as allergic conjunctivitis, are quite common. Anything that irritates the eyes is a type of allergen. To combat allergens, the eyes release histamine. Conjunctiva and eyes become irritated, inflamed, and red as a result. Unlike other types of conjunctivitis, eye allergies do not transfer from person to person. The body's immune system might also react to an allergen that is often harmless, leading to the development of an allergy. Growing aging populations and changing lifestyles are boosting the rising prevalence of ophthalmological problems, which is one of the protuberant drivers promoting the growth of the global market for eye allergy therapeutics. Favorable government funding from developed and a few developing nations support ocular problem research and prevention programs at several public and private organizations. However, the global market for eye allergy therapeutics is being constrained by issues such as a shortage of skilled specialists, a lack of awareness, and the side effects of numerous medications.

Industry Dynamics:
Eye Allergy Therapeutics Market: Growth Drivers
- The expanding patient population is driving the demand for eye allergy therapeutics market.
The considerable patient population suffering from eye allergies is one of the most important and significant key drivers of the global market growth. Over 15% of the world's population is affected by allergies. With an allergic propensity that tends to impact several body organs, the patient may have symptoms that pertain to many organs. However, the ocular component is thought to be the most noticeable and incapacitating aspect of an allergy since it causes chronic symptoms, such as eye itching and watering, which causes severe discomfort. With the significant increase in the patient population over the past few years, the demand for medicines used for treating conditions like antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers has expanded dramatically. Numerous studies have shown that during the past 40 years, the prevalence of this issue has significantly grown. This element is anticipated to fuel global eye allergy therapeutics market expansion.
Eye Allergy Therapeutics Market: Restraints
- Market growth is hampered by a lack of knowledge about eye allergies and adverse drug reactions.
The general public is unaware of eye problems and eye health, despite a crucial and growing demand for eye allergy therapies. The varied symptoms of eye allergies and other ocular disorders, which can be treated or corrected quickly with accurate diagnoses and treatments, are not well understood. Ophthalmologists are not frequently consulted by patients unless there is a serious clinical problem. Most of the time, eye allergy symptoms like persistent itching are disregarded and improperly diagnosed, significantly lowering the number of patients who may be effectively treated with prescription medications. One of the key factors limiting the expansion of the global market is adverse treatment effects. While most of the time, patients do not encounter fatal or life-threatening symptoms, certain unfavorable effects, including eye irritation, burning, headaches, runny or stuffy noses, difficulty in breathing, and increased sensitivity to light, may happen. Therefore, these issues could lead to incorrect self-diagnosis and prevent these therapies from being used widely, resulting in slower market expansion throughout the projection period.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As per Zion Market Research study, The global enteral feeding formulas market size was worth USD 5,819.5 million in 2021 and is estimated to grow to USD 8,024.1 million by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of roughly 5.5% over the forecast period.
Enteral Feeding Formulas Market: Overview
The term "enteral feeding" describes a procedure in which food is ingested through the GI system. The gastrointestinal tract comprises the stomach, esophagus, intestines, and mouth. The small intestine or stomach receives the nourishment that is ingested through a tube. This form of feeding can serve as the main nutrition source or a complete replacement for calories. In situations like cancer, eating difficulties, severe illness, stroke attacks, and life-threatening injuries, nutrition is considered. With an increase in the elderly population, increased occurrence of preterm birth, rising healthcare costs, and rising demand for in-home care, the global market for enteral feeding formula is expanding. The increased need for enteral nutrition formulae for older persons at home will also increase, which will spur market expansion. The sector is expanding because nursing homes and home health organizations choose enteral feeding formulae for post-surgery patients. Additionally, more neonatal critical care units are anticipated to fuel development. The development of the global enteral feeding formulas market is anticipated to be somewhat constrained by issues related to enteral nutrition, threats to patient safety, and the possibility of medication and feeding errors.

Zion Market Research published the latest report titled "Enteral Feeding Formulas Market By Product (Standard Formulas and Disease-Specific Formulas), By Stage (Adults and Pediatrics), By Application (Oncology, Gastroenterology, Neurology, Diabetes, Critical Care, and Other Applications), By End-User (Hospitals and Long-term Care Facilities), and By Region - Global and Regional Industry Overview, Market Intelligence, Comprehensive Analysis, Historical Data, and Forecasts 2022 – 2028." into their research database.
Industry Dynamics:
Enteral Feeding Formulas Market: Growth Drivers
- The prevalence of chronic illnesses is driving market growth.
The market for enteral feeding formulas is anticipated to rise as chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and coronary obstructive pulmonary disorders (COPD) rise. These chronic illnesses necessitate a lengthier hospital stay and recovery period for treatment. Patients who have trouble swallowing food are given external nutrients through the tube. Thus, it is anticipated that an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases will fuel global enteral feeding formulas market expansion over the projected period. Additionally, the market for enteral feeding has seen a sharp rise in consumers due to the higher quality of the diet offered by tube feeding. Furthermore, as the number of senior citizens grows, so does the demand for tube feeding because these people are unable to eat orally.
Enteral Feeding Formulas Market: Restraints
- Presence of allergic content in the product is expected to restraint the market growth.
A wide variety of formulas are available for feeding during enteral procedures, and using a formula on someone who is not a good candidate for it can have negative side effects. Some patients must take formulae that are appropriate for their condition because they have allergies to specific proteins and fatty acids (food allergies from offenders including milk & lactose, maize, eggs, tree nuts, soy, wheat and gluten, seafood, and shellfish). Thus, choosing the best recipe is more difficult, which slows market expansion.

Global Enteral Feeding Formulas Market: Segmentation
- The global enteral feeding formulas market has been segmented into product, stage, application, end user, and region.
Based on product, the worldwide enteral feeding formulas market is segmented into standard formulas and disease-specific formulas. Standard formulas dominated a share of 53.7% in the market in 2021. This significant market share can be due to standard formulae' widespread use and cost-effectiveness among all patient groups. Additionally, it is projected that the simple accessibility of polymeric nutritional complete formulae, which are appropriate for usage in both healthcare facilities and at home, will hasten segment growth over time.
Based on stage, the global enteral feeding formulas market is segmented into adults and pediatrics. The adult segment had the biggest revenue share at 88.6%. This market category is also predicted to expand in the upcoming years at the quickest CAGR. The significant market share can be due to the rising use of enteral tube feeding among individuals with a variety of illnesses, including chronic liver disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, cancer, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Based on application, the worldwide enteral feeding formulas market is segmented into oncology, gastroenterology, neurology, diabetes, critical care, and other applications. In the market for enteral feeding formulas, the oncology segment had a significant market share in 2021. Cancer cachexia, which causes insulin resistance, increased lipolysis with loss of body fat, accelerated protein turnover, and loss of muscle mass, as well as loss of appetite and weight, affects most cancer patients. Additionally, as it becomes exceedingly difficult for cancer patients to swallow food, supplying nourishment is essential for improving their clinical condition. Nutrition is given through enteral feeding tubes as the treatment progresses to help the patient keep their body mass.
The global enteral feeding formulas market is segmented based on end-users into hospitals and long-term care facilities. In 2021, the long-term care facilities had the most significant revenue share of 56.3%. The delivery of enteral nourishment to patients who need long-term, life-sustaining care outside of the hospital is expected to expand, which will hasten the growth of long-term care facilities. Another important aspect influencing the segment's growth is the fact that tube feeding is frequently the sole choice for people with chronic illnesses and disorders.

Construction progress continues with major milestone
ATLANTA, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlanta Gas Light today announced the placement of its second LNG storage facility rooftop August 2 at its liquified natural gas (LNG) facility in Cherokee County. Weighing 444 tons, or as much as 11 humpback whales, the domed roof is approximately 200 feet in diameter and 36 feet in height. The air raise of the roof took approximately 4 hours to complete. Construction of the inner LNG containment shell within the outer wall will begin in the coming months. Once complete, the new LNG tank will store an additional 2 billion standard cubic feet of natural gas onsite to meet Atlanta Gas Light natural gas supply needs.
Construction of the LNG storage facility has been underway since November 2021 and will be completed in phases over the next three years.
"Placement of the LNG storage tank roof is a major milestone for the project, reflecting the hard work and dedication of our team as we transition this facility closer to operation," says Atlanta Gas Light President and CEO Pedro Cherry. "This LNG project is critical natural gas infrastructure necessary to continue providing fuel to our customers safely and reliably in the decades when demand is at its highest."
The project will allow Atlanta Gas Light to double the facility's capacity, store gas when it is most affordable and then have access to that supply during periods of peak demand in the county and surrounding regions.
Liquefied natural gas is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state, at about -260 degrees Fahrenheit, for shipping and storage. The volume of natural gas in its liquid state is about 600 times smaller than its volume in its gaseous state in a natural gas pipeline. While stored as LNG, it's returned to its gaseous state, or regasified, for use by customers.
This facility is part of Atlanta Gas Light's first-ever Integrated Capacity Development Plan (i-CDP), which was approved by the Georgia Public Service Commission in November 2021. The i-CDP provides insight into the company's long-range plans for initiatives that will enable it to meet increased demand and deliver superior customer service while continuing to serve the energy needs of the state safely and reliably.
Check out Atlanta Gas Light's YouTube channel for video of the roof placement.

Holtz began his career in his native Brazil, before emigrating to the U.S. in 2015, where he worked as Creative Director at Pereira O'Dell San Francisco and New York, before becoming a Vice President and Creative Director at McCann New York.
He has worked with major brands including Mini BMW, Chick-fil-A, Microsoft and Fifth Third Bank. His work has been honored with numerous awards including Cannes Lion Festival, D&AD, One Show and Clio Awards.

"Becoming a Bloomberg New Economy Catalyst is a true honor and recognition for the work we are doing in making financial services available to 100% of the population. Having the support of the Bloomberg community will allow us to connect, learn and scale beyond our current state as we strive to improve the lives of millions throughout Latam," said Andrés Gutiérrez, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, Tpaga.
Three members of the 2021 Catalyst class have successfully IPO'd their companies and two Catalysts' ventures have become "Unicorns," going from startup to billion dollar valuation. The program has also created new business partnerships between Catalyst members. Earlier this year, Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX - a global crypto exchange valued at $32 billion - formed a partnership with Elizabeth Rossiello's AZA Finance - an African Fintech - to expand Web3 and digital currencies across Africa.
"The Bloomberg Catalyst program is one of the most expertly curated and impactful communities for founders and executives," said Elizabeth Rossiello, CEO and founder of AZA Finance. "The connections and initiatives created within its ranks are redefining finance, health, science, and more industries, across the globe. As a member of the inaugural 2021 Catalyst class, I am excited to welcome such an incredibly diverse and accomplished 2022 cohort."
Bloomberg provides a platform to scale and accelerate Catalyst's ideas by providing networking opportunities. Most notably, the 2022 Catalyst class will join Bloomberg's annual New Economy Forum convening in Singapore 14-17 November. In its fifth year, the Forum brings together the world's most influential CEOs, leaders, visionaries, scientists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers, and helps facilitate strategic business partnerships. Catalysts will also benefit from visibility, awareness and recognition across Bloomberg's multi-channel network reaching hundreds of millions; gain insight and perspective into cutting edge technologies and high-level policy and finance; and receive peer-to-peer leadership and mentoring throughout the year.
The Catalysts will convene at the Bloomberg New Economy Catalyst Retreat for a special day of programming at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, which will focus on high-level discussions to develop solutions for a more sustainable and equitable economy.

Binance Labs Boasts Historic 2100% Rate of Return Since Inception
DUBAI, UAE, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Binance, the world's leading blockchain ecosystem behind the largest cryptocurrency exchange, today announced the appointment of its Co-Founder Yi He as the new head of its venture capital (VC) arm and incubator, Binance Labs.
"As part of the founding team, Yi has been actively involved in Labs since its inception and has played a pivotal role in identifying early-stage projects and founders with the vision and drive to disrupt those global institutions that no longer serve society effectively," said Binance CEO CZ (Changpeng Zhao). "This is the perfect moment for Yi to take on a larger role in Labs as this market presents an unparalleled opportunity to identify those projects with the tenacity to thrive in tough market conditions."
Binance Labs is the largest crypto VC in the industry by Asset Under Management (AUM) with a Multiple on Invested Capital (MOIC) of 21.0x, a performance metric that is unmatched in the industry. Binance Labs manages total assets of $7.5 billion, consisting of more than 200 portfolio projects.
Yi will lead global strategy and the day-to-day operations at Binance Labs. Part of her focus will be on significantly supporting infrastructure projects and improving utility in innovative crypto and blockchain projects.
Her vision is to drive the future adoption of Web3 and blockchain technology by "building the standard for the blockchain industry." Under Yi's leadership, Binance Labs will have an additional emphasis on investing in capable, driven founders who will play a role in shaping the future of the industry.
"Part of the journey of seeing Binance grow, especially through tough market conditions, has been the ability to identify those founders that have the skills and embody the values needed to thrive in an environment where resources are more limited. As a leading player in the space, my goal is to help define the industry standard by identifying and supporting sustainable projects and building an ecosystem of quality blockchain solutions that empowers the entire industry," said Yi.
"It is a foregone conclusion that Web3 will reach one billion new users in the next five years. However, Web3 will only truly become mainstream when its products weave seamlessly into users' lives. To expedite widespread adoption, we need to focus our resources on supporting those projects that will push the boundaries of Web3 technology and create products that provide solutions to real-world problems."
Since its inception, Binance Labs' investment strategy has focused on early stage projects in key verticals. This strategy has seen Binance Labs incubate some of the industry's most successful projects, including Polygon, FTX, Certik, Nym, and Dune Analytics.
The team recently closed a $500 million investment fund which includes participation from global institutional investors such as DST Global Partners and Breyer Capital. Some of the latest portfolio companies and key projects include pStake and Ultiverse.
Yi will continue leading and supporting the organization's key business initiatives and units including customer support, institutional business, marketing, Binance P2P and Earn.

Todd Thibodeaux uses ChannelCon 2022 state of the industry remarks to unveil CompTIA's Project Agora; invites broad industry participation in the effort to fight for tech talent
CHICAGO, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CompTIA, the nonprofit association for the information technology (IT) industry and workforce, is undertaking an expansive effort to create the most resource-rich source of information and support for anyone interested in starting, staying and succeeding in a career in technology.
CompTIA President and CEO Todd Thibodeaux revealed the association's Project Agora during his state of the industry remarks at ChannelCon 2022.
"The goal of Project Agora is to create the most respected place to start, build and supercharge your tech career," he said. "With amazing resources and broad support from our members, partners and industry Project Agora will help people find success in the tech workforce."
The labor market is in a period of unprecedented transition, characterized in large part by the volume of frictional unemployment as individuals search for, or transition from one job to another. One in four US workers were actively seeking a new job or pursuing other career options during Q2 2022, CompTIA research reveals.1 While tech is among the top five industries job seekers were considering, it ranked behind several other sectors, including sales, real estate, healthcare, hospitality and finance. A lack of confidence in technical skills, concerns about the cost and the time it will take to learn those skills and perceptions about the tech industry culture are factors that contribute to reluctance to consider tech as a career option.
"Our challenge is to convert more career intent people to tech intent," Thibodeaux said. "We need to tell better stories, more consistently, about how truly great it is to work in tech. The way we get the talent we need is by fighting for it."
Project Agora will help in that effort, first by enabling individuals to explore in great depth tech jobs and careers. CompTIA has identified 30 different job roles covering 90% of tech employment. The next step is creating resources to engage users and convert them from career intent to tech intent. Thibodeaux issued a call to action for the industry to get involved in this effort to build the best, most comprehensive collection of tech career resources available anywhere.
"Confidence gaps, career transition gaps and reskilling gaps are not insurmountable barriers but rather opportunities to chart a new course for individuals and the companies that employ them," Thibodeaux concluded. "Project Agora is all about unlocking potential, for the industry, and for millions of people we want and need working in it,"
Organizations interested in getting involved in Project Agora can contact CompTIA at [email protected]
The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) is a leading voice and advocate for the $5 trillion global information technology ecosystem; and the estimated 75 million industry and tech professionals who design, implement, manage, and safeguard the technology that powers the world's economy. Through education, training, certifications, advocacy, philanthropy, and market research, CompTIA is the hub for unlocking the potential of the tech industry and its workforce. https://www.comptia.org/

Contemporary Art Brand Jumper Maybach Announces Expansion with Six New Licensing Partnerships
HOUSTON, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- World-renowned artist and brand Jumper Maybach has signed new best-in-class partners to an ever-growing list of organizations that share the brand's mission of ending hate. Jumper Maybach is one of the most thought provoking and inclusive artists and brands of our generation. In the past year, the brand has partnered with six distinct companies in an effort to expand their product line across multiple consumer retail segments through the artwork, as well as bring new audiences to the brand and mission. These global partnerships offer a unique opportunity for brands to target new markets, expand their customer base, and work with a company which aligns with their vision.
All of the new products have been inspired by Jumper Maybach's abstract paintings which have been exhibited around the world, hanging in galleries and museums from Paris to Miami to Dubai. The artist's use of color and design brings a modern flair to the walls of any home or business and are now available as wearable art and soft goods.
The Jumper Maybach brand is excited to announce partnerships with the following brands: BIG LOViE, Ahdorned, OPR Eyewear, V. Fraas, Ioconic and Proformmat. The partners have all begun production of their Jumper Maybach lines of products and items are currently available for retail, launching now through September 2022.
"These partnerships represent a remarkable way to expand the vision of my mission," states Jumper Maybach. "Their goals are much in line with my own. I am totally honored to be working with such amazing people as we share a pursuit to end hate, intolerance, and bullying."
In 2013, Jumper Maybach held his first gallery show, which ultimately led to exhibiting at Art Dubai. It was there that the Artist received a documentary film deal and was dubbed the "Jackson Pollock of the 21st Century". Shortly after Art Dubai, Maybach had the opportunity to exhibit 39 large pieces of work in Venice, Italy and was invited to exhibit his art at the Galerie Du Louvre in Paris.

Data as a Service Market Report 2022 - 2027: Enterprise Data Syndication Presents Avenues For Expansion
DUBLIN, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The 'Data as a Service Market by Enterprise, Industrial, Public, and Government Data Applications and Services 2022 - 2027' report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.
Select Report Findings:
- North America and Western Europe represent the two largest regional markets for DaaS
- IoT DaaS is growing nearly three times as fast as non-IoT DaaS, with much of its streaming data
- Structured data market remains greater than unstructured, but the latter will overtake the former
- Machine-sourced data is growing twice as fast as non-machine data, largely due to IoT apps and services
- Analytics as a Service is the largest opportunity and also one of the fastest-growing segments through 2027
- The DaaS market will receive a huge boost in both usage and revenue from edge computing and real-time data analytics
- Corporate data syndication will become a major driver of DaaS growth, but data security and privacy challenges will limit the expansion
There is considerable competition in the market, happening at a variety of different levels, with features highly variable between vendors. This causes confusion for the enterprise and causes them to often choose two or more providers. Barriers to enterprise adoption of the DaaS model include security concerns, reliability, regulation, vendor lock-in/interoperability, IT management overhead, and other costs.
However, the reasons for implementing DaaS far outweigh the concerns, especially when it comes to IoT data, which must have flexible and scalable platforms for storage, processing, and distribution. Accordingly, enterprise organizations are five times more likely to implement DaaS for machine-generated IoT data than for static data located in corporate repositories or data lakes. The DaaS market must support both static and dynamic data, but the latter will benefit significantly more, especially as edge computing is implemented and real-time data is available.
Another important opportunity area for DaaS is enterprise data syndication, which is the opportunity for companies of various sizes to syndicate (e.g. share and monetize) their data. This is one of the biggest opportunities for the Data as a Service market as a whole. However, there remain challenges above and beyond the core adoption barriers, which include specific security, privacy, and care of custody concerns.

$13.0 Million Senior Bridge Loan
BIRMINGHAM, Mich., Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bloomfield Capital announces the closing of a $13.0 million senior bridge loan, which provided the capital necessary for the acquisition of two adjacent industrial buildings totaling 230,000 square feet in greater Indianapolis, IN. The Sponsor required immediate execution due to an expiring purchase option, which allowed them to acquire the property and accommodate their rapidly growing business.
The Sponsor's business has operated at a portion of the building for the last several years and it recently expanded to occupy the entire property. Bloomfield's bridge loan will allow for the Sponsor to continue the expansion of their business and execute their business plan.
"As the capital markets have continued to tighten, we have been presented with more owner-occupied buildings in need of senior bridge capital," stated Brent Truscott, a Partner at Bloomfield Capital. "Sellers are still demanding fast closings, and banks and insurance company lenders are not typically able to accommodate expedited closings, especially if the underlying tenant at the property is in expansion mode and not able to demonstrate several years of consistent cash flow. As a direct capital provider and balance sheet lender, Bloomfield Capital can provide flexibility and expediency when time is of the essence," Truscott added.
Bloomfield was able to swiftly underwrite the Sponsor's business and understand the local industrial market in greater Indianapolis. The Sponsor plans to refinance Bloomfield's bridge loan with a loan from the SBA upon stabilization of their business operations.
Bloomfield Capital is a direct lender and equity investor in commercial real estate assets nationwide. With offices in Detroit, Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, and NYC, Bloomfield Capital's team draws from a broad base of commercial real estate and finance experience. The firm provides debt and equity solutions to meet the demands of time-sensitive and complex transactions. Bloomfield Capital specializes in small- to medium-sized financings from $3-30 million in the form of bridge loans, mezzanine loans, and preferred equity investments.

A child safety seat anchor in new versions of the Toyota Tacoma mid-size pickup truck may not be safe at all, according to a recall order disclosed by the NHTSA on Tuesday.
Welds on the upper child seat anchors can be loose enough to be moved by hand, prompting Toyota to recall 75,316 Tacomas from the 2022-2023 model years. Toyota estimates that only 5% of the recalled vehicles have insufficient spot welds that can compromise the LATCH child seat safety anchors.
The issue specifically affects the upper tether anchor used to secure forward-facing child safety seats. The welds don’t have enough strength to meet federal vehicle safety standards, and may result in the child seat moving during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The trucks at issue were manufactured from Oct. 21, 2021 through May 28, 2022, after a manufacturing change to prevent burrs on the anchors.
Toyota is still developing a remedy for the issue, and owners can expect notification by mail as early as Sept. 2. The trucks are still under warranty so the fix will be completed for free at Toyota service centers. For more information, owners can contact Toyota’s customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or visit Toyota’s recall site.

Bottlers of PepsiCo and Coca-Cola are spending big bucks to ramp up manufacturing capacities in the country with the beverage industry clocking scorching sales this summer.
Leading bottler of PepsiCo, Varun Beverages, is set to invest about ₹1,200 crore to expand its production capacity in India till next year. At the same time, Coca-Cola India’s bottlers are in the process of investing nearly $1 billion to expand beverage capacity by 30-40 per cent till March 2023.
₹1,200-cr capacity expansion
At an earnings’ call, Ravi Jaipuria, Chairman, Varun Beverages Ltd, said the company is set to invest about ₹1,200 crore till 2023-end. This will be invested in setting up two large greenfield plants in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, besides enhancing capacity at its newly-constructed Bihar plant. “This will help increase our total capacity by 30 per cent in India,” he added.
Varun Beverages has franchise agreements with PepsiCo for 27 States and seven Union Territories besides other international territories. Total sales volumes in the June quarter were up 96.9 per cent y-o-y at 300 million cases as against 152 million cases in the year-ago period, on account of strong demand during the peak season, said the company.
The early onset of summer, scorching temperatures and strong recovery of the out-of-home channel helped the industry witness strong sales during the quarter. This comes after two challenging years hit by the pandemic.
$1-b investment
Recently, Coca-Cola stated that the second quarter (ended July 1) was its best-ever in terms of volumes in India. Last week, Sanket Ray, President-India and South West Asia, Coca-Cola, stated that the company’s bottling partners are increasing production capacity by 30-40 per cent with commitments to invest about $1 billion in India till March 2023.
“This year, already 14-16 new lines have been added and next year, too, a large number of lines will be added. So overall, this will increase the production capacity of our bottlers by 30-40 per cent in the country,” Ray added.

BMW’s i4 electric hatchback enters the 2023 model year with a new eDrive35 grade that has brought the starting price down to $52,395, including a $995 destination charge.
The i4 was a new addition to BMW’s lineup for 2022, initially offering eDrive40 and M50 grades, priced from $56,395 and $66,895, respectively. Pricing of those grades for the 2023 model year has not yet been announced.
Being the i4’s new entry-level grade, the eDrive35 features a smaller battery and less power than the other versions. The battery has a gross capacity of 70.2 kwh and the car’s single electric motor at the rear delivers 281 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque.
The eDrive35 will still sprint to 60 mph from rest in a respectable 5.8 seconds, and BMW’s range estimate is 260 miles. The eDrive40 and M50 both feature an 83.9-kwh battery and deliver up to 301 miles and 270 miles, respectively, as rated by the EPA.
Using a DC fast charger at a charging rate of 180 kw, eDrive35 owners can expect to charge the battery from 10%-80% in a little over 30 minutes.
Despite being the base model, the eDrive35 comes with the same standard features as the eDrive40, including a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and a 14.9-inch touchscreen infotainment hub.
BMW i4 production is handled at a plant in Munich, Germany. U.S. deliveries of 2023 i4s are expected to start early next year.
BMW Group, which includes the BMW, Mini and Rolls-Royce brands, recorded worldwide sales of more than 57,000 electric vehicles in the first half of 2022. The automaker targets EVs to account for around 50% of its sales by 2030. Additional BMW Group EVs coming soon include an iX1, i5 and i7 from BMW, a redesigned Cooper SE and electric Countryman from Mini, and the Spectre coupe from Rolls-Royce.

The Cloud Campus of The Dwight Schools — An Innovator in Global Education — Collaborates with the IB to Share Expertise and Make Education More Accessible
NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dwight Global Online School — ranked the #2 best online high school in the U.S. by Newsweek — was selected by the International Baccalaureate (IB) as a partner to pilot the delivery of the two-year Diploma Programme (DP) in an online school environment. The pilot is designed to gain insights into the benefits of this pedagogical model and to make the DP more accessible to more diverse cohorts of students unable to attend a brick-and-mortar school. Dwight Global Online School (Dwight Global), a leader in online education since 2014, is proud to document the benefits of delivering the DP in a collaborative online learning community.
Dwight Global is the cloud campus of The Dwight Schools, a network of leading IB World Schools in New York, London, Shanghai, Seoul, and Dubai, extending a world-class independent school education to students everywhere. In fall 2021, Dwight Global launched the DP online through a hybrid model for students enrolled at Dwight's New York campus. The same opportunity will now be offered to all students who wish to have a robust DP online experience through the two-year pilot beginning this fall.
"We are delighted to partner with the IB to shape and evaluate the latest pedagogical models for delivering the comprehensive Diploma Programme. As a frontier IB World School, Dwight has long collaborated with the IB to develop solutions to global educational challenges, innovate, and share expertise with schools worldwide," said Stephen Spahn, Chancellor of The Dwight Schools, who has spearheaded Dwight since 1967 and is distinguished as the longest-serving head of an independent school in the U.S. "We share the IB's goals of increasing access to education for all through innovative online pedagogy. We also believe that the IB curriculum, culminating with the DP, offers students the finest educational foundation for excelling personally, academically, and professionally in our rapidly changing world."
"The IB aims to increase global access to the Diploma Programme for more diverse cohorts of students. Therefore, we are excited to partner with Dwight Global Online School and provide students with more opportunities to participate in the DP," said Matt Costello, IB Chief Business Development Officer.
The DP: The "Gold Standard" in College Preparation
The Diploma Programme, spanning grades 11-12, is recognized by university admissions directors around the world as the "gold standard" in college preparation based on the breadth and depth of the curriculum. According to the IB, DP graduates are better prepared for university and are more likely than non-IB graduates to remain enrolled and prosper. DP graduates also report that the curriculum prepared them well for college coursework, particularly in the areas of writing, critical thinking, study skills, and time management.
Goals of the Pilot
The pilot is designed to discover the advantages that a fully online DP can offer both students and schools. It will investigate: what the educational model looks like, its feasibility, capability, cost, etc.; and whether students have similar assessment results as those in brick-and-mortar schools. Included among the many students worldwide who could benefit are those who require different ways of accessing education, including students who:
- Are displaced or refugees
- Travel frequently for extended periods
- Have an illness, disability, or social-emotional challenges
- Live in remote areas
- Are pursuing passions outside school and need time for training
- Are homeschooled
The pilot will also explore how the model might impact schools themselves and how the IB can support them. Pilot data will provide the IB with intelligence to make strategic decisions about the future of IB programmes, as well as how they may engage with pilot providers in yet-to-be determined services, such as online examinations.
"We are especially excited to partner with the IB to open the door for more students around the world to reap the enormous benefits of a DP education. Dwight Global has a proven track record of building a vibrant, collaborative community of educators and learners online, including a diverse cohort of students that matches those who the IB is seeking to reach," said Dianne Drew, Global Education Director of The Dwight Schools and former Chair of the IB Global Heads Council. "We created Dwight Global to mirror the Dwight in-person school experience with added accessibility and flexibility, and look forward to sharing our expertise, learning outcomes, and proof of concept with the IB and fellow pilot partners."
Dwight Global's Innovative Roots
In 2013, Dwight Schools in New York and London were selected as two of the original six schools worldwide to pilot the DP online for students in non-IB Schools through the IB's Open World School Programme. That experience led to the founding of Dwight Global the following year. Today, the School offers over 100 IB, AP, honors, and elective classes for students in grades 6-12, who can also customize their own course of study.
Dwight Global extends the long-standing IB expertise of all five brick-and-mortar schools in the Dwight network and especially the New York School's legacy as a true IB pioneer. After authorization to offer the Diploma Programme in 1975, Dwight was the first school in North America authorized to offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP) in 1997, the first K-12 school authorized to offer the Middle Years Programme (MYP) in 2000, and the first in the Americas to provide the comprehensive IB continuum, following authorization to offer the Career-related Programme (CP) in 2014.
More about The Dwight Schools: The Dwight Schools network reaches across the globe and into the cloud igniting the spark of genius in every child. Each IB World School shares the same mission of creating a better world through education. The first Dwight School was founded in New York in 1872, followed by campuses in London in 1972, Seoul in 2012, Shanghai and Dwight Global in 2014, and Dubai in 2018. Graduates of all Dwight Schools attend leading colleges and universities worldwide.

India’s largest domestic carrier, IndiGo, narrowed down losses to ₹1,064 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2022. The firm’s net loss was due to headwinds caused by the depreciating rupee and higher fuel prices. Losses were down 66 per cent over the corresponding quarter last fiscal (₹3,174 crore).
However, revenue from operations increased 328 per cent y-o-y to ₹12,855 crore (₹3,007 crore) — the company’s highest-ever quarterly revenue.
IndiGo saw an increase in the number of passengers by 221.9 per cent compared to the same period last year. Further, the airline’s total income came in at ₹13,018.80 crore for the quarter, the highest ever. Fuel prices rose 95.5 per cent y-o-y.
Cost pressures
Ronojoy Dutta, CEO, sad the revenue performance was impressive and the company produced profits at an operational level. “However, cost pressures on fuel and foreign exchange prevented us from translating this strong revenue performance into net profitability. While our financial performance in the second quarter will be challenged by weak seasonality, the long-term revenue trend remains strong,” he said.
As of June 30, IndiGo had a total cash balance of ₹19,069 crore, which include ₹8,304 crore of free cash and ₹10,765 crore of restricted cash. “Q2 capacity in terms of ASKs is expected to increase by around 70-80 per cent, as compared to the year-ago period,” said a company statement.

Genesis in August will finally start deliveries of its redesigned 2023 G90 full-size sedan in the U.S., and the automaker on Tuesday provided pricing information.
The new G90, which represents the second generation of the flagship nameplate, is available in two grades, each with a unique powertrain.
The base G90 3.5T AWD is priced from $89,495 and the more powerful G90 3.5T E-SC AWD is priced from $99,795. Both figures include a $1,095 destination charge.
Genesis also lists a $575 surcharge for metallic and pearl exterior paint selections, and a $1,500 surcharge for matte paint selections.
The G90 3.5T AWD features a twin-turbocharged 3.5-liter V-6 rated at 375 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. The G90 3.5T E-SC AWD features the same engine but with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system attached. The mild-hybrid setup includes an electric compressor designed to increase boost pressure at low revs, before the turbochargers take over. The powertrain in this case is rated at 409 hp and 405 lb-ft of torque. In both cases there’s an 8-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.
Unlike rivals in this segment, the base G90 3.5T AWD comes with pretty much everything standard. The list includes a road-scanning adjustable suspension, a surround-view camera system, nappa leather, heated seats (with cooling up front), three-zone climate control, Bang & Olufsen audio, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless charging for mobile devices, a head-up display, and a host of electronic driver-assist features.
Upgrading to G90 3.5T E-SC AWD takes the standard features of the base model, plus the more potent powertrain, and adds a few extras. They include a multi-chamber air suspension, rear-wheel steering, powered rear seats with massaging and cooling, an extra wireless charging point, and Bang & Olufsen’s 3D Premium audio system with 26 speakers.
Genesis has also extended its Priority One program to the 2023 G90. Members of the program can secure a build slot with a $1,000 refundable deposit. The program also provides members with access to a dedicated concierge to help throughout the ordering process and delivery.

The second year final examination of Philosophy department started today, Wednesday. On a spot visit, it was seen that Rakib and Emon were taking the four-hour long test that was started at 11:00am on Wednesday.
When asked, philosophy department chairman Md Abdul Mannan told Prothom Alo that they didn’t receive any letter over their suspension from the registrar office.
Even the department didn’t know that they were suspended. As long as they don’t receive the suspension order, the examinations of these two students are legal. Therefore, the department permitted them to attend examinations.
University registrar SM Monirul Hasan told Prothom Alo that the decision of suspension was taken in a meeting. The university is yet to issue an order. That is the reason why he couldn’t send it to the department. The order will be issued soon.
Registrar SM Monirul Hasan said their examinations will be cancelled automatically as the suspension order will be effective a day after it was decided.
Earlier on 25 July, registrar Monirul Hasan said in a press conference that four students were suspended for one year over the incident of harassment that took place in 16 September 2021. | https://en.prothomalo.com/bangladesh/local-news/8q5lyy1hnu | 2022-08-03T14:35:59 | en | 0.984959 |

Infiniti’s Q50 has entered the 2023 model year largely unchanged from the previous year, although there’s been a small price rise from $43,125 to $43,725. Both figures include destination.
There’s added value too as all 2023 Infinitis come with the automaker’s Premium Care program, a maintenance program that covers some basics such as oil changes, brake fluid top ups, and cabin air filter replacements.
Buyers of the 2023 Q50 have three grades to choose from: Luxe, Sensory and Red Sport 400. Rear-wheel drive is standard across the range but all-wheel drive can be added on each grade for an additional $2,000.
The base Luxe grade comes well equipped with items like Apple CarPlay (wireless), Android Auto, leather trim, heated front seats and steering wheel, and Bose audio all included as standard. New for 2023 is the option of Saddle Brown for the interior color, which was previously limited to the Sensory grade.
All Q50s are powered by the same twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6. It’s rated at 300 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque in the Luxe and Sensory grades, and 400 hp and 350 lb-ft in the Red Sport 400. All grades use a 7-speed automatic transmission.
The Red Sport 400, which is priced from $57,575, benefits from a few extra performance upgrades beyond the powertrain. Key among these are unique 19-inch alloy wheels, uprated brakes with four-piston front and two-piston rear calipers, and adjustable dampers.
The Q50 is one of the oldest new vehicles on the market, having arrived in 2013 as a 2014 model. Some rivals, like Mercedes-Benz’s C-Class, have been redesigned twice in that time, but despite this there’s no clear successor for the Q50 in sight.

Agreed in April last year, the plan calls for an immediate end to violence and dialogue between the army and coup opponents.
"If more prisoners are to be executed, we will be forced to rethink our role vis a vis ASEAN's five-point consensus," Cambodian prime minister Hun Sen said as he opened the foreign ministers' gathering.
Hun Sen said the bloc was "disappointed and disturbed by the execution of these opposition activists despite the appeals from me and others for the death sentences to be reconsidered for the sake of political dialogue, peace and reconciliation".
Suspension threat
Malaysia, which has led efforts to get tough on Myanmar's junta, told reporters there must be progress before the ASEAN leaders summit in November.
"If there is no progress, then the leaders will have to ask the hard questions when they meet in November," said Malaysian foreign minister Saifuddin Abdullah, adding that suspending Myanmar from the regional bloc was not off the table.
He also described the Myanmar executions -- which came despite personal appeals from Hun Sen -- akin to "a slap".
"They are making a mockery of the five-point consensus, there is no respect to the ASEAN leaders, there is no respect to the ASEAN chair," he told reporters.
His comments were echoed by Indonesia's Retno Marsudi, who said there was "no significant progress".
"There's no goodwill and no commitment from the junta to implement the five-point plan," the foreign minister told reporters.
She added certain countries were frustrated by "broken promises" by the junta, and Hun Sen told foreign ministers that "ASEAN shouldn't be held hostage to Myanmar".
But with no representatives from Myanmar present for the summit -- highlighted by the country's prominently placed empty chair -- Cambodia's ASEAN spokesman admitted Tuesday that progress over the conflict might be tricky.
The February coup has left Myanmar in disarray, with the death toll from a brutal military crackdown on dissent passing 2,100, according to a local monitoring group. | https://en.prothomalo.com/international/asia/kxweeib7dk | 2022-08-03T14:36:05 | en | 0.967471 |

Mazda is going all in on its newest model and asking customers to pay more for the opportunity to join them. The 2023 Mazda CX-50 compact crossover gets an odd price increase of $800 across a lineup that went on sale new this spring. The destination fee increases to $1,275 as well.
A new Meridian Edition expands the trim and package levels to 10, and expands the price range from $28,825 for the base S to $43,575 for the top 2.5 Turbo Premium Plus, Mazda announced Tuesday.
Sitting near the top of the range is a new 2.5 Turbo Meridian Edition. The compact crossover gets a 2.5-liter turbo-4 that makes up to 250 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque (with 93 octane; 227 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque otherwise). When equipped with a tow package, it can tow up to 3,500 lb. There’s also a base 187-hp 2.5-liter inline-4 powering the six trims in the S line. Either engine pairs with a 6-speed automatic transmission and standard all-wheel drive.
Sharing a platform with the smaller CX-30 but sized larger than the 2023 CX-5, the new CX-50 represents Mazda’s first foray into off-road adjacent territory if not marketing. Like the 2022 Subaru Forester Wilderness or 2022 Toyota RAV4 Adventure, the 2023 CX-50 Meridian Edition best captures the off-road image of the CX-50 with all-terrain tires on 18-inch alloy wheels, different rocker and headlight accents, hood graphics, and, inside, a type of rust-colored leather upholstery with black accents.
There are plenty of “outdoor-specific accessories” for Mazda to sell buyers before they go to the aftermarket, Mazda says. A $1,235 Apex Package on top of the Meridian Edition adds a black roof rack and splash guards.
Any other CX-50 can be fitted with similar items that Mazda packages in a Meridian Choice option for $1,899. Available with either engine and any other trim, the package includes a black roof rack, splash guards, side rockers, and black wheel locks and lug nuts. And there’s a different hood graphic than on the Meridian Edition.
The 2023 Mazda CX-50 is on sale now.

Bhavin Pandya, the co-founder and CEO of gaming unicorn, Games24x7, said he does not see the company foraying into NFTs in the immediate future, as he feels the world is yet to figure out a way to monetise NFTs on an ongoing basis.
Web3
This comment comes at a time when gaming major Dream11 has made its Web3 foray by investing in cricket NFT platform, Rario. “Games24x7 has been on the forefront of a lot of Web3 research that is going on. Do know that Web3 space is absolutely fantastic and there are a lot of opportunities there? But I don’t think people have figured out what that opportunity is yet,” Pandya added.
Further, he also thinks that the adoption of Virtual Reality (VR) gaming or metaverse games is a few years away, given its dependence on expensive VR headsets. “I think VR hasn’t yet taken off in a really big way. Yes, we have some games that have made some splash every now and again. But the fact of the matter is that you need an expensive device to be able to experience VR, especially if you want to make that experience immersive,” he said.
Fantasy space
Games24x7 was started as RummyCircle, and later expanded to include fantasy sports with the launch of My11 Circle and casual games studio, U Games. RummyCircle continues to drive the majority of the revenue for Games24x7, followed by My11Circle, which was launched in 2019.
“We were a fairly late entrant in the fantasy games space. By the time we came around in 2019, there were many operators already in the space. But I’m very pleased to say in the last three years of being operational, we have cemented ourselves as the number two player in the fantasy space,” said Pandya.
My11Circle is said to have doubled its user base since 2021. However, the company did not disclose the exact size of the user base. Games24x7 is a profitable gaming unicorn last valued at $2.5 billion. In FY21, the company reported a total income of ₹1,312.66 crore on a standalone and consolidated basis, and its net profit after taxes was ₹383.7 crore.
Threat of GST
Similar to all real-money gaming companies, Games24x7 is also faces the threat of being obliterated if the 28 per cent GST is applied on the contest entry amount of online games such as RummyCircle and My11 Circle. The way real-money gaming companies work is that if two friends enter a tournament for ₹50, a total of ₹100 is collected by the gaming company.
Out of the ₹100, the gaming company’s earning is between ₹10-20, and the rest is given back to the player as contest winnings, prizes. At present, gaming companies pay 18 per cent GST on this ₹10- 20 revenue, but the GST Council is considering to apply the 28 per cent GST on the contest entry amount (in this case ₹100).
“We are okay paying 28 per cent GST as long as we are being taxed on our revenue. We welcome that change. But when the government says they will charge tax on the ₹100 that is collected as entry fee, they are, in effect, asking us to pay ₹28 in tax when our revenue is just ₹10,” Pandya noted.
He added that the industry has found the government extremely forthcoming in their recent conversations, and is hopeful that GST will be levied only on company revenues. “They’ve called us many times to really understand what is going on, and they understand that the tax must be levied on our revenue and not on the entire pool of money. There was some confusion around it, but now they have understood this clearly. The government told us in the recent meeting that they want the online gaming industry to flourish. We made our case and now we will wait and watch,” Pandya added.

The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Energy has recommended the Centre to hold comprehensive deliberations with States to rationalise the “complex” power tariff structure.
Emphasising that it would be “very difficult” to have a uniform tariff regime across India in “one go”, it has suggested dividing consumers into five major categories—domestic, agriculture, commercial, industrial and institutional.
However, analysts and State government officials said that such an exercise is not “feasible” as a uniform tariff regime would curtail the role of State Regulatory Commissions (SERCs). Besides, it does not address the issue of uniform voltage across distribution infrastructure that the tariff will create.
Another important recommendation by the panel is separation of agriculture feeders, which it points out will help in reducing Discoms AT&C losses.
Tariff rationalisation
The panel observed that many States while providing lower power tariff to poor consumers via cross subsidisation have created a large number of consumer tariff categories. In some cases, the number is as high as 93.
“The Committee, therefore, is of the opinion that the said proposal for rationalisation of tariff structure become part of the Tariff Policy and the States be persuaded to implement this earnestly. The Committee also desires that the Centre provide assistance to the States which may find it difficult to implement this due to some practical reasons,” it added.
Welcoming the suggestion on uniform tariffs, Nangia Anderson Leader (Power Sector Advisory) Arindam Ghosh, however, observed that the same would not be possible to implement in India, as every State has its own structure, policy and political inclination.
Power purchase cost is not uniform, so it would be difficult to achieve a uniform retail tariff across India. Depending on their location each State has different generation costs, he pointed out. “The committee mentioned cross subsidy, however, CERC guidelines say that cross subsidy cannot be more than 20 per cent and gradually they intend to make these cross subsidies zero. A uniform tariff regime would not work without cross subsidy, which is conflicting with CERC guidelines. In a uniform tariff regime, the sector that would be impacted most is the industrial sector. These industrial customers or the high-value customers would be impacted by the collection efficiency and cash flow of different Discoms which will ultimately result in increasing the revenue gap of different State Discoms,” he explained.
Ghosh pointed out that the committee has highlighted the renegotiations of long-term PPAs. If PPAs are cancelled or the terms renegotiated, some plants may have to be shut down.
Agriculture feeders
The Committee said that separation of feeders will facilitate Discoms to supply electricity to agriculture sector without interrupting quality and reliable power to domestic consumers.
“The Committee, therefore, is of the view that this system would benefit consumers as well as Discoms, as agriculture sector may get power at a supportive rate and State governments/ Discoms may rationalise their power procurement cost by resorting to Demand Side Management (DSM),” it added.
The panel recommend the Centre to proactively engage with States to assess the quantum of work that needs to be undertaken under feeder separation by doing cost-benefit analysis, encouraging them to execute it expeditiously and complete the process within a fixed timeline.
At present, there are about 1,64,057 rural feeders in the country. Of this, around 62,193 (37.91 per cent) are under agriculture category. Around 4,697 feeders have been separated as of December 2021. A balance of 166 feeders, as of December 2021, are under reconciliation.

Ratan Tata-backed CarDekho has joined the list of unicorn start-ups like Vedantu, which have fired several employees in 2022 to survive the ongoing funding winter.
While this is the first round of firing at CarDekho in 2022, the 100 employees made redundant by Vedantu are an addition to the 624 employees that the edtech unicorn laid off in May. According to a source in the know, the latest firing at Vedantu is from the company’s sales enablement team (recruiting and training), as a result of business restructuring.
At CarDekho, employees across junior and mid-senior levels have been fired as the used-car marketplace turned its focus to profitability, according to three sources, who spoke to BusinessLine on condition of anonymity. While the number of impacted employees at CarDekho could not be verified, the majority of the impact is on roles like retail associates and inspection engineers.
Performance-based firing
“These are some roles which have become redundant, hence the performance-based firing. The company’s goal is now to make leaner teams and achieve a profitable P&L,” said one of the sources mentioned above. Adding to this, the second person said that CarDekho is citing performance as the reason for letting go employees but is not open to any discussion with the employees.
Further, an impacted employee from the retail team of CarDekho said that even though he has 8 years of experience in the industry, it is proving to be a struggle for him to land a job because he has been honest about being laid off. The CarDekho employees are fired under PIP (performance improvement programme) and hence have to serve a one-month notice period during which they are allowed to take garden leave.
At the time of press, Vedantu did not respond to queries.
"Our appraisal cycle ended in June 2022 and as a standard process based on the performance, few employees were kept under performance improvement plan. After providing adequate time to improvise under performance improvement plan and a post reassessment of performance, action has been taken as per the company policy," said CarDekho spokesperson.
Earlier in May 2020 too, CarDekho had laid off 200 employees after the Covid outbreak impacted the automobile sector. According to the company’s LinkedIn page, CarDekho has anywhere between 1,001 and 5,000 employees. The Jaipur-based company joined the unicorn club in October 2021 after raising a $250-million round of funding, which included $200 million in Series E equity and $50 million in debt. CarDekho was valued at $1.2 billion in this pre-IPO round.
At the time of fundraising, CarDekho said that it buys pre-owned cars from customers in more than 100 markets and has 3,000-plus cars available for online purchase. Another used-car marketplace, Cars24, fired 600 employees across departments in May 2022, citing performance issues. Ola also shut down its used-car business, Ola Cars, in June 2022, impacting hundreds of employees.
Funding slowdown
According to PwC India Report-Startup Deals Tracker, the total funding in the Indian start-up ecosystem fell by 40 per cent during Q2 CY22 to reach $6.8 billion. The analysts at PwC attributed the dip to a global slowdown, decrease in tech stock valuations, inflation and geopolitical instability.
This funding slowdown has resulted in start-ups rationalising costs, laying off employees, and increasing their focus on profitability. According to Inc42’s layoff tracker, over 11,000 employees have been laid off by Indian start-ups in 2022.

Industry-leading Field Inspection Management platform automates workflows from detection to inspection to resolution in order to deliver safer, higher-quality outcomes
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fulcrum today announced new field inspection management functionality that improves efficiency, enables continuous improvement, and drives safer and higher-quality outcomes in the field, making it the first Field Inspection Management platform vendor to close the loop from inspection planning through issue resolution to auditing, reporting and analysis. Fulcrum customers can now obtain crucial insights at every level of an inspection workflow to inform workflow optimizations and plan new inspection processes.
"Fulcrum helps us improve processes and make our work environment safer by streamlining inspections, surfacing inspection-related insights, and managing follow-up actions," said James Watts, Director of Health and Safety at Snavely Forest Products. "Once you close the loop from action to insight to further action, the possibilities are limitless."
While a recent study from research firm paradoxes found that more than three-quarters of companies use digital devices to perform inspections, 70 percent also admit collecting some data using pen and paper, resulting in a significant lack of cohesion. For example:
- Since issue identification and remediation are often conducted by different teams, organizations get reduced visibility into their current tasking and safety, quality, and maintenance posture.
- Communication gaps lead to missed inspections, overlooked issues, and poor follow-up.
- Visibility into team performance is hampered by a lack of aggregated inspection, issue identification, and remediation data, which reduces the information available to help organizational leaders make decisions.
This lack of cohesion limits organizations' ability to act on the inspection data they collect: They can only use it to execute a single desired task or achieve a specific desired result, such as triggering remediation. Closed-loop inspection management, by contrast, helps organizations plan inspections, detect issues, resolve them, and then drive actionable insights that feed back into the inspection management process. The result is optimized processes and better safety and quality outcomes.
Fulcrum's new capabilities enhance organizations' ability to close the loop from inspection actions to insights to new actions. Adding to Fulcrum's best-in-class field inspection management platform, the closed loop functionality provides:
- Reduced risk through enhanced location intelligence for issues, which provides additional visibility and control of your quality and safety issue resolution processes.
- Elimination of inspection and remediation task communication gaps through improved notifications that provide reliable, consistent communication.
- Better inspection management and clarity in the field based on rapid, seamless deployment of the ideal inspection processes for each situation, ranging from simple checklists to advanced apps.
"Our customers tell us that they need better access to inspection data to improve their decision-making," says Jim Grady, CEO of Fulcrum. "Fulcrum's new capabilities ensure that their inspection data flows seamlessly into the remedial actions they take and future decision-making processes, so they get better performance now and continuous improvement as they move forward."
For more information about how to close the loop with the Fulcrum Field Inspection Management platform, please visit our blog on fulcrumapp.com.
Fulcrum's mission is to improve the way field teams work by automating inspection processes to ensure safer, higher quality, and compliant outcomes. We are committed to empowering field teams every day with our next-gen Field Inspection Management platform that improves team performance and safety, keeps projects on track, and eliminates regulatory compliance headaches.

Aston Martin will use 2022 Monterey Car Week on this month to debut two new vehicles, as well as provide an update on the progress of the Valhalla hypercar.
One of the vehicles will be a bespoke model developed by Q by Aston Martin, the automaker’s personalization department, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. All Aston Martin would say about the vehicle is that it will provide a nod to the automaker’s successes at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The second model is described as a performance-focused offering. It’s confirmed to debut during a private showing scheduled for August 19 and then go on display during Aston Martin’s Club 1913 exhibit at the Pebble Beach Links Golf Course on Aug. 20 and 21. Rumors point to a convertible version of the V12 Vantage coupe unveiled in March.
As for the Valhalla, Aston Martin will present an updated version of the plug-in hybrid hypercar with an interior that’s likely more representative of the design planned for the production version arriving in 2024. Aston Martin hasn’t shown the Valhalla’s interior yet, but the automaker has said to expect an F1-style feet-up seating position, similar to the Valkyrie.
The Valhalla will be built in a run totaling 999 units. Each will be powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 mounted in the middle driving the rear wheels, plus two electric motor-generators at the front axle for a combined output of 937 hp. The V-8 is an AMG design and features a flat-plane crankshaft, similar to the AMG GT Black Series.
Monterey Car Week this year runs Aug. 12-21. It culminates with the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on Aug. 21.

Sundaram Finance Holdings on Wednesday said TT Srinivasaraghavan, who has been the Chairman of the Board since inception, has relinquished office citing personal reasons.
“We wish to inform you that at the board meeting held today, TT Srinivasaraghavan, Chairman has, for personal reasons, relinquished his office as Director, as at the close of business hours on 3rd August 2022,” the company said in a regulatory filing.
The release added that the Board of Directors has elected Harsha Viji, Director, to be the Chairman. Viji has been on the board since 2017.
“I wish to record our deep appreciation for TT Srinivasaraghavan for his able guidance and leadership of SF Holdings from inception, a period which included several critical investments and transactions, including the purchase of the joint venture partners’ stake in Brakes India and Wheels India, the entry into the carbon fibre market, the merger of foundry operations and the capital raise through the rights issue. All these will serve the company well in the years to come,” Viji said in a press release.
Originated as the demerged investment arm of Sundaram Finance, SF Holdings is an exempted Core Investment Company listed on the National Stock Exchange of India (NSE). It operates as a holding company, owning a portfolio of automotive businesses, including foundries, wheels, brakes, turbochargers, axles and distribution of spare parts. As a result, the dividend from portfolio companies forms a substantial part of the financial results.
Meanwhile, the company has registered a consolidated net profit of ₹41.14 crore for the quarter ended June 2022, an increase of 30 per cent over ₹31.58 crore for the corresponding period of the previous year.
The dividend received from portfolio companies was at ₹I40.20 crore during this quarter, the release said.

India will look to improve its per animal milk productivity by drawing lessons from advanced nations at the four-day International Dairy Federation World Dairy Summit (IDF WDS 2022), scheduled to be held in New Delhi from September 12.
Currently, the world’s largest milk producer with about 210 million tonnes production per year, India lags behind many advanced countries in dairy productivity. This, according to dairy sector leaders, will be a key takeaway for the country from the three-day Summit that has a theme of “livelihood and nutrition”.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Meenesh Shah, Chairman, National Dairy Development Board (NDDB), said, “We are continuously working on improving the productivity of animals. India is the largest milk producer, which is because we have the largest number of animals. (But) On the productivity per animal, we are behind several other countries. We need to increase the productivity of the cattle through collective efforts.”
However, he said over the past few years, India’s dairy sector has achieved remarkable success in improving productivity. “This process needs to continue,” he said.
Announcing the IDF WDS 2022 at Anand, Shah said on September 12- 15, 2022 India will showcase dairy farmers with an average per capita cattle holding of about 3-4 as the foundation of India’s dairy economy against the developed world, which has about 200-400 animals per farm.
RS Sodhi , Managing Director, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), which markets Amul brand of milk products, said the summit, in which about 400 dairy farmers will participate, will showcase how about 1.2 crore members of dairy cooperatives across the country combine together to produce, process and market their milk on a daily basis.
Amul and Nandini (a dairy brand owned by Karnataka Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation Ltd) are the main sponsors of the summit , which is powered by NDDB arm Mother Dairy Fruit and Vegetables Pvt Ltd.
BC Sateesh , Managing Director, KMF, said, the Summit will be a platform to encourage the next generation to engage in successful dairying. “At KMF, we have 26 lakh dairy farmers, producing about one crore litres of milk daily and they earn 80 paise from each rupee earned. About 90 per cent of our farmers are small and marginal farmers. This will be a big platform to attract the next generation for dairying.”
As per the NDDB data, India’s daily milk collection is about 12 crore litres from organised players. Of this, about 6 crore litres come from the cooperatives and the rest from private players. GCMMF has a share of about 2.6 crore litres in cooperative space. IDF’s WDS is being held in India after a gap of 48 years with about 1,500 delegates from over 40 countries likely to participate.

Most of the new electric vehicles arriving on the market aren’t cheap.
But the two-door Mini Cooper SE is a rare exception, and one of the three cheapest electric vehicles. It’s arguably way more exciting and image-boosting than the Chevy Bolt EV or Nissan Leaf, all of which start around $30,000 or less—if you’re prepared to work with its 114-mile range.
It was also one of the few EVs on the market that hadn’t seen a big price hike in the past year.
That is, until now. While the base Cooper SE held the line on pricing into this 2023 model year, carrying over its $30,750 sticker price (including the $850 destination fee), the price leader is no longer available. And the next-most-affordable EV option in the lineup costs $4,325 more.
According to Mini USA head of corporate communications Andrew Cutler, the base Cooper SE has been “made temporarily unavailable due to supply-chain-related issues.”
Mini had no further details on what that supply-chain constraint is. But it leaves quite an affordability gap versus the cheerful EV value leader that was.
The 2023 Mini Cooper SE gained more standard features, including a new steering wheel design plus an Apple CarPlay–compatible 8.8-inch center screen, a heated steering wheel, lane-departure warnings, and SiriusXM satellite radio.
At that, you might as well go to the top-trim Iconic 2.0 model, as we see it. The Signature 2.0 is mostly a step up in appearance and luxury versus the sought-after base model. At $35,075, it gets a panoramic sunroof plus multiple exterior, roof, and upholstery choices. In top Iconic 2.0 trim, costing $37,550, the Cooper SE gets Harman Kardon audio, a head-up display, front parking sensors, a parking assistant, and active cruise control.
But both are a big jump, for an affordability-minded shopper, from the base version.
If you can claim the $7,500 federal EV tax credit, that amounts to an effective price of $30,050 for the Iconic 2.0, versus $23,250 for the now-unavailable base model.
Mini suggests that while the base SE isn’t gone for good, it can’t provide a timeline for when it might return. In the meantime it’s dropped that version from its order tool, which notes even for those pricier versions, “Due to increased customer demand, production availability of model year 2023 MINIs is limited.”
There are many more fully electric models to come from the brand. Mini has suggested that it will shift entirely to EVs by the early 2030s, and Mini just last week teased a look at the design direction of the brand and a future all-electric crossover—in the Concept Aceman. It also recently teased the possibility of a fully electric convertible with a one-off Cooper SE Convertible.

Excess rains in the key producing regions across the country are likely to weigh on this year’s kharif pulses such as tur (pigeon pea/arhar) and urad (black matpe or gram), even as the total area under the legume crops is higher than last year.
Trade, farmers and experts believe that the production of tur could be affected due to lower coverage, while rains in September hold the key for urad output. However, moong output is likely to be flat.
As of July 29, the pulses acreage, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, stood at 106.18 lakh hectares (lh) compared with 103.23 lh a year ago. The planting season for all kharif pulses has almost ended. While tur acreage has declined by 13.5 per cent to 36.11 lh (41.75 lh in corresponding a year ago), the area under urad, moong bean and other kharif pulses have increased. Urad acreage is up marginally at 28.01 lh (27.94 lh), while moong coverage is up 15.5 per cent at 29.26 lh (25.29 lh). The area under other pulses has also increased by 57 per cent at 12.66 lh (8.03 lh), while kulthi (horse gram) acreage has shrunk to 0.15 lh (0.21 lh).
Sateesh Nukala, CEO & Co-founder, BigHaat said: “The overall sowing of pulses in Kharif crops has decreased this year in comparison to 2021. However, there has been a 3 per cent increase in the sowing of pulses while observing a minimum decline of 13 per cent in the cultivation of tur, which is one of the main kharif pulses along with arhar and tur.
This drop in sowing can be attributed to bad weather and patchy rainfall leading to farmers switching to other crops or allowing their land to go barren.”
Concern for growers
Among major pulse-producing States, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh have clocked an increase in acreage, while Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat and Telangana have seen a decline. Lucrative prices for competing crops such as cotton, soyabean and even sugarcane have attracted the farmers’ interests in these traditional pulses growing regions.
While delayed and deficit rains during June pushed back the sowing in some States, excess precipitation during July — which has resulted in water logging of farms in parts of Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Telangana among other States — is seen as a concern for growers.
“About 2 lh of the planted area of around 5.5 lh under tur, could have been impacted by excess rains, so far, this year,” said Basavaraj Ingin, President, Karnataka Pradesh Red Gram Growers Association in Kalaburgi (Gulbarga), considered the largest tur-producing district. Acreage under tur in Kalaburgi this year has declined by about 2 lh as farmers have switched over to soyabean, sugarcane and cotton. Also, the district has been bearing the brunt of excess rains during the planting season in the past two years.
Time to resow, but ...
Vast areas of farms planted with tur are waterlogged this year inflicting losses to the growers. “Even it stops raining now, farmers can still go and take up replant over the next few days, but there’s a forecast of rains for the next few days in the region,” Ingin said.
Kalaburgi district, which received 40 per cent more rains in the ongoing monsoon season from June 1-August 3, has received 115 per cent more precipitation over the normal during the past seven days, as per the data from the Karntaka State Natural Disaster Monitoring Centre.
Similarly, the adjoining districts of Bidar and Yadgir in Karnataka; Latur, Osmanabad and Solapur in Maharashtra, and Vikarabad, Mahabubnagar and Sangareddy in Telangana, where tur is grown, have also borne the brunt of excess rains, Ingin said.
Nitin Kalantri, a miller in Maharashtra’s Latur, said the decline in tur acreage could be higher than the Government estimates of 13 per cent. There are reports of some crop damage due to excess rains in Maharasthra and Karnataka, which could bring down the area by 5-8 per cent in these States. “It is too early to assess the crop loss as tur harvest is still four to five months away,” Kalantri said.
Good African crop
Bimal Kothari, Chairman, India Pulses and Grains Association (IPGA), said there might be some concerns as far as tur is concerned as the acreage is lower by 13 per cent. “We have to watch. Some sowing is still going on, but mostly tur planting has ended,” he said.
With the Government extending the tur imports till March 2023, and the new crop in East African countries arriving in the markets by the month end, there’s unlikely to be any impact on the supplies. Tur prices have firmed up in the recent past on reports of crop damage and are hovering around ₹7,800-8,000 per quintal.
“We are expecting a good crop in Africa, which will be harvested now. The African crop is around 6-7 lakh tonnes. When African tur starts coming into the Indian market, prices should stabilise and soften. It is good that the crop is arriving in India during the festival time, providing relief to consumers and the Government,” Kothari said.
Excess rain impact
While concerns linger around tur crop, the acreage under the other key kharif pulses – urad and moong is higher than last year’s levels. Urad acreage is higher in Madhya Pradesh at 13.74 lh (12.83 lh), Maharashtra at 3.99 lh (3.61 lh), Rajasthan 3.10 lh (3.06 lh), Uttar Pradesh 4.53 lh (3.46 lh), while it has reduced by half in Gujarat at 0.61 lh (1.23 lakh ha) and in Karnataka at 0.92 lh(1.01 lh).
“The extended La Nina and the rains brought about by the withdrawing monsoon during September are a concern for urad,” said Kalantri. In recent years, the excess rains during September have impacted the urad harvest, affecting the quality and the output.
Tarun Satsangi, AGM Commodity Research at Origo e-Mandi, said the sowing of urad and moong looks good and the acreages is higher than last year and the crop is likely to be good. Though there are some reports of crop damage due to excess rains, farmers have taken up resowing wherever possible, he said. “We are expecting a higher production of kharif pulses this year,” Satsangi said.
Production target
Total kharif pulses production was 8.25 million tonnes (mt) in 2021-22, as per the third advance estimates. This includes 4.35 mt of tur, 1.8 mt of urad and 1.48 mt of moong. Output of other pulses stood at 0.62 mt.
For the kharif 2022, the Government has set the pulses production target of 10.55 mt including 4.55 mt of tur, 2.7 mt of urad, 2.5 mt of moong and 0.80 mt of other pulses.
As far as moong is concerned, Rajasthan has witnessed a 38 per cent rise in area at 19.41 lakh ha (14 lakh ha), while Madhya Pradesh has also seen a marginal increase at 1.39 lakh ha (1.38 lakh ha). However, Karnataka has seen a marginal dip at 3.89 lakh ha (3.93 lakh ha), while Maharashtra has seen a decline at 2.65 lakh ha (3.46 lakh ha).
Punit Bachhawat, Managing Director, Prakash Agro Industries, a pulses miller in Ahmedabad, said there could be some impact of rains on urad and tur, while moong output is likely to remain same at around last year’s levels. “Overall, the urad area is down in other States, but good in Rajasthan. We expect around 20 per cent dip in urad output due to rains, while the tur production could be lower by 10-15 per cent,” he said.
The market has already factored in the crop damage, resulting in bullish sentiment of prices of tur and urad.
Nukala said Maharashtra and Karnataka have experienced excess rainfall and hence sowing of pulses has been lower. On the other hand, the acreage in Madhya Pradesh is up as it experienced heavy rains.
Moong picture clouded
While moong planting has been good in east Rajasthan and east M.P., there are reports of excess rains hurting the moong crop in Karnataka and Rajasthan. “It is difficult to assess the damage in moong as about 7-8 districts in Rajasthan had high rainfall. By end August we will be able to get a clear picture once we know the ground realities,” said IPGA’s Kothari.
IGrain India’s Rahul Chauhan said there’s some damage to sown area in Maharastra. “It is still raining and with an expectation of more rains overall there could be some impact on the productivity. We expect area under tur and urad to be lower than last year and this could result in lower crop of around 10-15 per cent,” Chauhan said.
“Amidst this challenge, there is an advantage in spending less on crop protection owing to the drop in sowing of tur, particularly,” said BigHaat’s Nukala.

Plug-in hybrid sales are stumbling in Europe, once an important market, as demand for all-electric vehicles rises, according to a recent Automotive News Europe report. But plug-in hybrids seem to be faring better in the United States.
As European consumers turned away from diesel cars and regulators tightened emissions rules in the wake of the Volkswagen diesel scandal, many automakers relied on plug-in hybrids to fill the breach, and sales were initially quite strong.
But recent sales data shows plug-in hybrids trending downward as EVs trend upward. In June, plug-in hybrid sales fell 28% in France and 16% in Germany, according to the report. And in the United Kingdom, two all-electric cars are now reportedly sold for every plug-in hybrid.
Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) also anticipates that plug-in hybrid sales will peak around 2026, with their share of plug-in sales on the decrease before then.
This isn’t totally unexpected, the report noted. Plug-in hybrids largely served as a stopgap effort until automakers could ready dedicated EV architectures. Vehicles based on those architectures are now reaching production, and anticipated stricter European Union emissions standards for 2025 could force automakers to shift more of their fleets to all-electric powertrains.
It might even be for the better. European regulators have considered ending the plug-in hybrid era early in order to shift the focus to all-electric vehicles. Europe now has a more advanced network of charging stations, meaning drivers are less likely to need an internal-combustion back-up, and some recent real-world tests have highlighted that plug-in hybrids can produce significant pollution when not driven on electric power.
Meanwhile, according to the Department of Energy, U.S. PHEV sales more than doubled from 2020 to 2021—a faster rate of growth than EVs. That’s in the context of strong EV sales, with all-electric models accounting for early three quarters of 2021 plug-in car sales in California—the biggest market for those vehicles in the U.S.
Experian Automotive recently noted that it took Toyota 11 plug-in hybrid, hybrid, and EV models to measure up to the U.S. new registration numbers of four Tesla EVs. But some plug-in hybrids, such as the Jeep Wrangler 4xe, have been selling very, very well. Plug-in hybrids topped 20% of Volvo’s U.S. sales in 2021. They’re well past that now.
Plug-in hybrids still offer more flexibility than all-electric cars, but they are also more challenging to explain. After years on the market, automakers struggle to understand whether drivers actually plug in their hybrids any more frequently than when they first appeared.

Otipy, the Delhi/NCR-based agritech start-up and India’s first community group buying platform for fresh produce, has entered the west market by launching its services in Mumbai. With the app, Otipy will provid e Mumbai residents with a single platform to buy and get the farm fresh fruits and vegetables delivered to their doorsteps.
Otipy is offering an essential range of fresh fruits and vegetables and plans to add more products to this category along with FMCG items, dairy, and bakery products in near future, the company said in a statement.
B2B2C model
Working on the B2B2C model the start-up connects end consumers to farmers through a community of resellers who handle the last-mile delivery of fresh produce. With the help of AI-based demand prediction, Otipy procures its produce from farmers from different parts of the country and leveraging its unique prediction-based model, the start-up has been able to decrease food wastage in the supply chain from 40 percent down to just 3 percent.
Otipy follows a special supply chain model of 12 hours delivery with only two touch points which acts as a crucial point to ensure fresh deliveries. The experience and knowledge of F&V help to cater the consumers in the best way possible with innovations in packaging and delivery model, enabling delivery of fresh produce at consumer doorsteps before 7 am.
Fastest delivery
Varun Khurana, Founder and CEO said “Conventional fruits and vegetable supply chain takes almost 48-72 hours to reach consumers directly from the farms. In 48-72 hours, freshness, as well as the nutrition value, deteriorates. Through our model, we ensure that the customers get the order in as little as 12 hours only. We deliver the freshest produce to consumers straight from the farms with minimal logistics costs around the industry. With our latest expansion in Mumbai, we hope to provide fresh produce with the fastest delivery guarantee”
Otipy is expanding its operations in Thane and other areas in Mumbai like Powai, Mulund, and Bhandup. This will be followed by the sub-urban areas like Andheri and Navi Mumbai regions of Mumbai. Through this expansion, Otipy plans to expand the western belt and add more partners and community leaders. Otipy aims to add over 100 partners by the end of September.

Airbnb said Tuesday that it earned $379 million in the second quarter on record bookings and rising rates, and the short-term rental giant announced a plan to spend up to $2 billion to buy its own stock.
The results showed a reversal from losses in the second quarter of both last year and 2019.
Airbnb indicated that its third-quarter revenue will be better than analysts currently forecast, although the gross value of bookings in the second quarter fell short of Wall Street expectations.
Airbnb has benefitted from the increase in travel and the exodus of workers from offices, which frees them to work from just about anywhere they can get internet access.
Bookings in the second quarter were about one-fourth higher than last year and 2019, but their gross value of $17.0 billion was slightly below analysts’ forecast of more than $17.1 billion, according to FactSet. Chief Financial Officer Dave Stephenson said the gross value of bookings is still rising sharply compared with 2019.
The San Francisco-based company said customers were making more international bookings. Listings away from major cities rose nearly 50% compared with the second quarter of 2019, and Airbnb said urban listings grew compared with the previous three months.
Stephenson said Airbnb saw higher numbers of cancellations late in the quarter, which he blamed on airlines canceling flights. Most of the cancellations were in North America, Stephenson said. He did not give figures.
Airbnb said the daily rate paid by renters averaged $164, up 1% from a year ago and 40% from the same period in 2019. The shift in bookings — from cities to less populated areas such as beach and mountain destinations, and toward renting an entire house — has helped drive prices higher. Stephenson said, however, that now it’s mostly just price appreciation, which “has been stickier than what we anticipated maybe six months ago.”
Airbnb said it that excluding stock-based compensation and some other costs, it earned 56 cents per share.
Revenue rose 58% from a year earlier and 73% from the second quarter of 2019, to $2.10 billion. Analysts expected revenue of $2.11 billion, according to a FactSet survey.
Airbnb said third-quarter revenue would be between $2.78 billion and $2.88 billion on “slightly higher” average rental prices. Analysts expect $2.77 billion.

The Supreme Court has directed the GST Council to recommend to all the States, implementation of document identification number (DIN) on all notices sent by State GST Officers. It has also asked all States to implement this at the earliest.
While Karnataka and Kerala have already implemented the system for electronic (digital) generation of a DIN in the indirect tax administration, now Andhra Pradesh has issued instructions to implement this. Earlier, Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) introduced DIN in communication. Now, experts feel a similar mechanism in indirect tax will bring in transparency.
Giving judgement on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL), a division bench of Justices MV Shah and BV Nagarathna said, “We dispose of the present writ petition by directing the Union of India/GST Council to issue advisory/instructions/ recommendations to the respective States regarding implementation of the system of electronic (digital) generation of a DIN in the indirect tax administration, which is already being implemented by Karnataka and Kerala.”
For transparency, accountability
Further, the bench also impressed upon the concerned States to consider implementing the system for electronic (digital) generation of a DIN for all communications sent by the State Tax Officers to taxpayers and other concerned persons so as to “bring in transparency and accountability in the indirect tax administration at the earliest.“ This is second major ruling in GST by the apex court, after it directed to reopen GST portal for filing claims of transitional credit.
The bench said the GST Council could also issue advisories to the States for implementation of the DIN system, which shall be in the larger public interest for efficient governance. It noted that even the Central Government has implemented the DIN system of Central Board of Direct Taxes, and on and from October 1, 2019, every CBDT communication will need to have DIN.
’Need of the hour’
Commenting on the ruling, Pawan Arora, Partner with Athena Law Associates says implementation of DIN in the State Tax Department is need of the hour. It will bring accountability of the State Tax Department as well especially when in GST they are at common platform with Centre. “DIN is also helpful for bringing transparency in adjudication proceedings,” he ssaid.
Saket Patawari, ED (Indirect Tax) at Nexdigm said that DIN generation shall bring more transparency in communication from tax authorities’ side especially when a lot of notices/enquiries are sent through non-office email-ids. “Gearing up on the technology infrastructure and training officers to correctly generate DINs could be a big challenge for state authorities. They may leverage upon the learnings from CBDT to incorporate this healthy practice. Hope to see all the State Governments adopt this practice,” he said.
Abhishek Jain, Partner, Indirect Tax, KPMG aid that CBDT had implemented DIN on all communications made by income tax officers a while back to ensure better transparency. “This SC order directing the GST Council to issue instructions to other states (apart from Karnataka and Kerala) to implement DIN system will be much appreciated by the industry at large, and if successfully implemented, will go a long way in facilitating transparency and ease of doing business,” he said.

TORRANCE, Calif., Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- GITAI USA Inc. (GITAI), the world's leading space robotics company, developed "S10," a 10-meter autonomous robotic arm for commercial space stations, which are being developed by several companies in the US. The GITAI S10 has successfully completed various tests corresponding to level 3 of NASA's Technology Readiness Level (TRL). Here we release a video of this technical demonstration.
https://youtu.be/kBdmq4SWUHY
GITAI's first 10-meter autonomous robotic arm, "S10," is characterized by its flexibility to meet various customer needs and short lead time. This is realized by GITAI's unique development strategy, where all the core technology required to develop a space robot including mechatronics, electronics, and software are developed in-house, and all the engineers work side by side in the Agile development process. In fact, the GITAI S10 has successfully completed the following ground demonstration tests corresponding to TRL 3 (Analytical and experimental critical function and/or characteristic proof-of concept) in less than 6 months from start of project.
- Testing the autonomous mobility of the S10 using grapple end-effectors* and grapple fixtures. This test assumed that the S10 would move outside the space station to perform inspections, repairs, station construction, etc.
- Testing capturing large objects using grapple end-effectors and grapple fixtures. This test assumed that the S10 would capture a spacecraft or handle large payloads.
* Grapple end effector / grapple fixture: GITAI's proprietary interface that enables the end of the robotic arm to be interchangeable. Not only does it improve task performance by connecting to various tools to perform multiple tasks, but it also enables autonomous movement of the arm itself when equipped at both ends of the arm.
By March 2023, the GITAI S10 is scheduled to conduct a similar demonstration test in an underwater experimental facility which simulates micro-gravity, in order to achieve TRL 6 (System/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment). GITAI will respond to the diversifying demand for work in space by adding this 10-meter robotic arm, GITAI S10, to its product lineup in addition to the already announced 2-meter robotic arm, GITAI S2.
GITAI is the world's leading space robotics company that aims to provide a safe and affordable means of labor in space and reduce operational costs by up to 100 times. GITAI aims to provide highly capable, safe, and reliable robots to help build and maintain satellites, space stations, lunar bases, and even cities on Mars.

The Cabinet, on Wednesday, approved India’s updated Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), in which it targets achieving about 50 per cent of cumulative power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030. The update will be formally conveyed to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
The Cabinet approval, in fact, has been made to the ‘Panchamrit’ strategy, announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the Glasgow conference last November. At the 26th session of the Conference of the Parties (COP26) of the UNFCCC in 2021, Modi had announced that India’s non-fossil energy capacity would reach 500 GW by 2030. He had said that India would fulfil half of its energy requirements from renewable energy sources by 2030.
As announced by Modi earlier, the Cabinet also approved the revised emissions intensity of gross domestic product (GDP) by 45 per cent from 2005 levels, whereas the earlier target was to reduce it by 33-35 per cent. In February last year, India had announced that it had achieved 24 per cent reduction from the 2005 levels in emissions intensity of GDP by 2016.
NDCs mean national plans and pledges made by a country to meet the goal of maintaining global temperature increases to well below 2 degree Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels, while aiming for 1.5 degrees Celsius to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.
“The updated NDC seeks to enhance India’s contributions towards the achievement of the strengthening of global response to the threat of climate change as agreed under the Paris Agreement. Such action will also help India usher in low emissions growth pathways. It would protect the interests of the country and safeguard its future development needs based on the principles and provisions of the UNFCCC,” said the government in a statement. The update is also a step towards achieving India’s long term goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2070, it added.
Net zero means achieving a balance between the greenhouse gases put into the atmosphere and those taken out. The government has already said that carbon emissions will be cut by 1 billion tonnes by 2030.
India had submitted its NDCs to the UNFCCC on October 2, 2015, comprising eight goals, including reduction in cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil sources, cut emissions intensity of GDP from 2005 levels, and creation of additional carbon sink of 2.5 to 3 billion tonnes of CO2 equivalent through additional forest and tree cover which have deadline of 2030.
The approval also takes forward the PM’s vision of sustainable lifestyles and climate justice to protect the poor and vulnerable from adverse impacts of climate change.
The updated NDC reads: “To put forward and further propagate a healthy and sustainable way of living based on traditions and values of conservation and moderation, including through a mass movement for ‘LIFE’ - ‘Lifestyle for Environment’ as a key to combating climate change”.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Elon Musk’s wealthy high tech allies don’t seem too happy about receiving subpoenas from Twitter as part of the company’s legal battle with the Tesla CEO.
San Francisco-based Twitter is suing Musk in Delaware in an attempt to get him to complete his $44 billion acquisition of the social media company, a deal Musk is trying to get out of. According to a report from The Washington Post, Twitter’s legal team on Monday asked for information about a host of tech investors and entrepreneurs connected to Musk in a wide-ranging subpoena. Twitter declined to comment.
According to the Post, the subpoena includes “extensive requests for communications, including ‘checklists, timelines, presentations, decks, organizational calls, meetings, notes, recordings’ related to the deal’s financing.'”
Well-known venture capitalists included in the subpoena, according to the report, are Marc Andreessen, founder of VC firm Andreessen Horowitz; former Facebook exec and CEO of Social Capital Chamath Palihapitiya; and David Sacks, the founding chief operating officer of PayPal and current general partner at Craft Ventures.
Sacks posted Monday on Twitter that “news that I am being subpoenaed by Twitter’s lawyers reminded me of this issue of Mad Magazine, I don’t know why.” He included a photo of the magazine’s cover showing a hand raising a middle finger.
Joe Lonsdale, general partner at 8VC, called Twitter’s subpoenas sent to “friends in the ecosystem” surrounding Musk, Andreessen and Sacks a “giant harassing fishing expedition.”
“I have nothing to do with this aside from a few snarky comments, but got a “YOU ARE HEREBY COMMANDED” document notice,” he tweeted on Monday.
Representatives for Sacks, Andreessen and Palihapitiya did not immediately respond to messages for comment on Tuesday. Lonsdale did not immediately respond to a message sent through LinkedIn. | https://cw33.com/business/ap-business/elon-musks-tech-allies-miffed-about-twitter-subpoenas/ | 2022-08-03T14:37:09 | en | 0.934279 |

The Government has permitted companies, after the change of GST, to indicate revised retail price via a stamp or sticker on unsold packaged goods till January next year. It has also made it clear the change in the prices should not exceed the increase of tax. Also, the price should not be overwritten.
Based on recommendations by GST Council, pre-packaged and pre-labelled products including curd, lassi, butter milk, flour, rice, pulses etc are attracting GST at the rate of 5 per cent with effect from July 18. Earlier, while there was no GST on curd, lassi, butter milk, only branded flour, rice, pulses etc were attracting GST.
“The Central Government hereby permits manufacturers or packers or importers of pre-packaged commodities to declare the revised retail sale price (MRP) on the unsold stock manufactured /packed / imported prior to revision of GST, after inclusion of the applicable/ increased amount of tax or after reducing the reduced amount of tax due to GST, if any, in addition to the existing retail sale price (MRP) upto January 31, 2023 or till such date the stock is exhausted, whichever is earlier. Declaration of the changed retail sale price (MRP) shall be made by way of stamping or putting sticker or online printing,” a communication by Consumer Affairs Ministry to all the States and Union Territories said.
No overwriting on original MRP
It also said that the difference between the retail sale price originally printed on the package and the revised price shall not, in any case, be higher than the extent of increase in the tax, if any, or in the case of imposition of fresh tax, such fresh tax, on account of implementation of GST Act and Rules. In the case of reduction of tax, the revised price shall not, in any case, be higher than the extent of price after reduction of tax, if any. “The original MRP shall continue to be displayed and the revised price shall not overwrite on it,” the communication said.
Further, manufacturers or packers or importers are to give atleast two advertisements in one or more newspapers in this regard and also by circulation of notices to dealers and to government indicating the price change of such packages.
Packing material, wrapper
It has also been clarified that any packaging material or wrapper which could not be exhausted by the manufacturer or packer or importer prior to revision of GST, may be used for packing of material upto January 31 next year or till such date the packing material or wrapper is exhausted, whichever is earlier after making corrections required in retail sale price (MRP) on account of implementation of GST by way of stamping or putting sticker or online printing as the case may be.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A House oversight panel on Tuesday subpoenaed gunmaker Smith & Wesson for documents on the manufacture and sale of AR-15-style semi-automatic rifles after its CEO refused to appear for a hearing on the firearms frequently used in mass shootings.
The House probe found that five major gunmakers took in a combined total of $1 billion in revenue from the weapons over the last decade, and they were at times marketed as a way for young men to prove their masculinity even as they became a “weapon of choice” for mass shooters.
A mass shooting that killed seven people and injured three dozen others at a July 4 parade in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park was carried out with Smith & Wesson’s M&P 15 semi-automatic rifle.
CEO Mark P. Smith originally agreed to testify last week before the Committee on Oversight and Reform along with the heads of two other companies, but pulled out five days before, Democratic Chair Carolyn Maloney of New York said in a statement. The company also hasn’t provided all the information and documents, including data about the sales of its AR-15-style firearms, asked for in its investigation into gun manufacturers, she said. The subpoena also seeks the Massachusetts company’s internal communications around mass shootings.
The company didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
The hearing with gun executives came shortly before the House passed legislation to revive a ban on certain semi-automatic weapons, including the AR-15, the first vote of its kind in years. But the measure is expected to stall in the Senate, with Republicans solidly opposed.
Gunmakers say the weapons themselves aren’t to blame for mass shootings, which are on the increase but rare overall. Gun-rights supporters argue the firearms are also popular with many people who buy them for self-defense and have a right to own them under the Second Amendment. | https://cw33.com/business/ap-business/house-panel-subpoenas-gunmaker-for-data-on-rifle-sales/ | 2022-08-03T14:37:15 | en | 0.974509 |

NEW YORK (AP) — The crypto division of the online brokerage Robinhood will pay a $30 million penalty to New York state for failing to comply with regulations governing money laundering and cybersecurity, the state’s Department of Financial Services announced Tuesday.
The department said an examination of Robinhood Crypto’s operations from Jan. 24, 2019, through Sept. 30, 2019, found that the company’s compliance with banking regulations had not kept up with its growth.
“As its business grew, Robinhood Crypto failed to invest the proper resources and attention to develop and maintain a culture of compliance—a failure that resulted in significant violations of the Department’s anti-money laundering and cybersecurity regulations,” Adrienne A. Harris, superintendent of the state’s Department of Financial Services, said in a news release.
Department of Financial Services officials said Robinhood Crypto improperly certified to the state that it was in compliance with transaction-monitoring and cybersecurity regulations despite its deficiencies in those areas. Additionally, the officials said, the company failed to provide a dedicated phone number for consumer complaints on its website, as is required.
In addition to paying the $30 million penalty, Robinhood Crypto will be required to retain an independent consultant who will evaluate the company’s regulatory compliance, the officials said.
Cheryl Crumpton, associate general counsel for Robinhood Markets Inc., said in a statement, “We are pleased the settlement in principle reached last year and previously disclosed in our public filings is now final. We have made significant progress building industry-leading legal, compliance, and cybersecurity programs, and will continue to prioritize this work to best serve our customers.” | https://cw33.com/business/ap-business/ny-fines-robinhood-crypto-30m-for-skirting-banking-rules/ | 2022-08-03T14:37:22 | en | 0.952682 |

Cash-strapped budget airlines SpiceJet’s promoter Ajay Singh has initiated discussions with a Middle Eastern carrier for a stake sale of up to 24 per cent, those aware of the matter said. An Indian business conglomerate—eyeing entry into the civil aviation segment—is reportedly also in the fray.
Ajay Singh, Chairman and Managing Director of SpiceJet, currently has a promoter stake holding of 60 per cent, as per the last reports filed with the stock exchanges. Those aware of the discussions said Singh would continue to be the majority owner post the stake sale.
According to a company spokesperson, the airline’s management is in talks to secure “sustainable financing”.
“The company continues to be in discussions with various investors to secure sustainable financing and will make appropriate disclosures in accordance with applicable regulations,” the spokesperson said.
As on December 31, 2021 (nine month period of FY22), the company reported ₹5,484 crore of total income while losses stood at ₹1,268 crore. SpiceJet is yet to declare full results for the year ending FY22. The company said its Q4 results were delayed following a ransomware attack on its IT systems.
The airline had been making losses for the last three years. It incurred net losses of ₹316 crore, ₹934 crore and ₹998 crore in FY19, FY20 and FY21, respectively.
Market opinion divided
Aviation sector analysts are not convinced. According to one, the airlines – except for some brand value – do not own “any significant assets.” Neither does it have land banks or its own aircraft.
“Most of the aircraft are leased and even lessors are now asking for forceful repossession. This is more than indicative of the pressure on SpiceJet’s finances,” he said, requesting anonymity.
According to Satyendra Pandey, Managing Partner of aviation advisory firm, AT – TV, SpiceJet finds itself with an extremely fragile balance sheet, competing in a landscape where credit quality “is a key component of success”. “An equity infusion will certainly be a welcome change, but how valuation will be determined is up for debate,” he said.
Any potential equity stake by a foreign airline is effectively a market entry strategy as India continues to be buoyant in terms of passenger and cargo demand, Pandey said.
Cash-strapped
Cash-strapped SpiceJet has its share of woes. The airline has been trying to hive off its cargo division into a separate company and raise funds. However, that move too is yet to materialise.
The airline is already under pressure from at least two leasing companies who want back aircraft previously leased to the carrier. One of the them stated SpiceJet’s non-ability to pay rentals for seeking de-registration of the aircraft.
SpiceJet announced entering into “a full and final settlement with the Airports Authority of India (AAI)” to clear outstanding principal dues. The airline “will revert to an advanced payment mechanism” at AAI-run airports. The AAI had in 2020 put SpiceJet on a ‘cash and carry’ basis as it was unable to clear its previous dues.
The airline has also been in the news recently for a spate of incidents of technical malfunctions in its aircraft since June 19. Following this, India’s aviation regulator, DGCA, on July 27, ordered SpiceJet to operate no more than 50 per cent of its flights, which were approved for the summer schedule, for a period of eight weeks.
Meanwhile, shares of SpiceJet reacted sharply to the news and closed at ₹50.05, up nearly 13 per cent on the BSE on Wednesday. The company’s shares saw a volume spurt of 10.69 times. The stock extended its previous day’s rally. Shares had hit a 52-week-low of ₹34.60 a piece on July 28. Within seven days, the shares rose by nearly 45 per cent.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Rent-A-Center, one of the nation’s largest rent-to-own companies, will pay $15.5 million to settle California’s allegations that it misled and overcharged tens of thousands of customers, Attorney General Rob Bonta said Tuesday.
An investigation of the company’s “kiosk” business inside traditional retail furniture stores found that since 2014, it used what Bonta called an inflated “cash price” for products that was 15% higher than the true retail price, among other alleged violations.
The practice affected more than 100,000 contracts through the company’s Preferred Lease line, previously known as AcceptanceNOW, although the company also has more than 2,000 standalone stores.
Many consumers seek rent-to-own options without realizing that “the total price they pay will end up being much higher” than if they bought outright, Bonta said. And with Rent-A-Center’s 15% “illegal upcharge,” he said, “that couch, that fridge or that washer potentially cost struggling families hundreds of extra dollars each.”
Such businesses rent things like furniture and appliances, often to low- or moderate-income customers who typically pay by the week or month. Usually after one to three years, they then own the product.
The company will return $13.5 million in restitution to California consumers under the settlement, pay $2 million in civil penalties and agree not to engage in misconduct in the future, Bonta said. Consumers who rented through the company’s kiosk businesses are eligible for the restitution and should be sent a notice at their last known mailing address, he said.
Rent-A-Center did not immediately respond to repeated email messages seeking comment. It did not admit any violations, wrongdoing or liability under the settlement.
Bonta said the items sold under such policies are often overvalued. He alleged that Rent-A-Center also failed to tell its customers that they could return the products at any time with no penalty.
Under the settlement, the company is prohibited from charging a cash-price markup, and its price must match the advertised price. The company also agreed to better inform customers of their rights, train its employees, and submit annual compliance reports to Bonta’s office for three years.
Separately, Bonta announced the formation of a nationwide bipartisan Anti-Robocall Litigation Task Force that he said will investigate and take legal action against telecommunications companies he blamed for bringing a majority of foreign robocalls into the United States.
The task force already sent civil investigative demands to 20 providers, alleging that they are not doing enough to stop robocall traffic. | https://cw33.com/business/ap-business/rent-a-center-settles-alleged-california-overpricing-dispute/ | 2022-08-03T14:37:29 | en | 0.962888 |
