SILVER SPRING, Md., Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is providing an update on additional steps it has taken that will lead to more infant formula available in the U.S. under the agency's recent increased flexibilities.
Company: Reckitt Nutrition/Mead Johnson Nutrition (Mexico)
Product(s): Base Powder for PurAmino Hypoallergenic Infant Formula (amino acid-based infant formula with iron)
Type of Formula: Base powder for Specialty Formula (amino acid-based formula)
Estimated Quantity: An initial shipment of 331K pounds of base powder which will be used to produce (about 469,000 cans or about 6 million full-size, 8-ounce bottles)
Availability: The PurAmino base will be produced in August, to then be blended and packaged in the U.S. and is expected to be distributed immediately following.
More Information and Where to Find the Products: PurAmino is a hypoallergenic, iron fortified, amino acid-based infant formula used for infants and toddlers with severe cow's milk protein allergy and other food allergies. The product will be distributed primarily through hospitals and other healthcare settings and select retail stores.
The FDA is exercising enforcement discretion for the importation of the infant formula products listed above following the review of information provided pertaining to nutritional adequacy and safety, including microbiological testing, labeling and additional information about facility production and inspection history.
The agency is leveraging a number of flexibilities to bolster the supply of products that serve as the sole source of nutrition for many infants while ensuring the infant formula can be used safely and provides adequate nutrition. The FDA remains in further discussions with manufacturers and suppliers regarding additional supply to ensure there's adequate infant formula available wherever and whenever parents and caregivers need it.
The FDA issued guidance on May 16 that outlined a process by which the agency would not object to the importation of certain infant formula products intended for a foreign market or distribution in the U.S. of products manufactured here for export to foreign countries. This guidance also may provide flexibilities to those who manufacture infant formula products domestically and may be able to further increase the quantity of domestically produced product for the U.S. market. The agency has posted a webpage that will be updated with information about additional products headed to the U.S.
Ongoing FDA Steps to Increase Availability of Safe, Nutritious Infant Formula
The agency's around-the-clock work as part of the all-of-government efforts has already begun to improve supply and availability. The agency expects that the measures and steps it is taking, and the resumption of production at the Abbott Nutrition's Sturgis, Mich., facility, will mean more and more supply is on the way or on store shelves moving forward.
The FDA continues to advise against making infant formulas at home or diluting formula. Parents and caregivers are encouraged to work with their child's health care provider for recommendations on changing feeding practices, if needed. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services also has additional information available at HHS.gov/formula, including information to help families find infant formula.
The agency also monitors online marketplaces for fraudulent products and works with major online retailers to remove violative and harmful products offered for sale on their sites. Additionally, since many of these fraudulent products originate overseas, the agency targets and examines these products at ports of entry. The FDA also monitors and follows up on various external signals such as consumer complaints about potential counterfeit and fraudulent products.
The FDA will continue to dedicate all available resources to help ensure that safe and nutritious infant formula products remain available for use in the U.S. and will keep the public informed of progress updates.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A judge on Wednesday rejected the request by Utah officials to throw out a lawsuit challenging a state ban on transgender kids who want to compete in youth sports.
The ruling comes ahead of a hearing scheduled for Thursday where Judge Keith Kelly will assess whether to put the law passed by the Republican-majority Legislature this year temporarily on hold.
Judge Kelly ruled that the three transgender girls who brought the lawsuit have shown they are harmed by the law that took effect on July 1 and therefore have legal standing for the case to move forward, KUTV-TV reported.
Thomas Lee, a former state Supreme Court hired by the state to help defend the ban, argued in the hearing that the girls are just “concerned bystanders” who lack standing to bring the lawsuit.
Parents of the three girls and their attorneys contend in the lawsuit that the law wrongly keeps their children from participating in the sports while violating the state constitution that prohibits discrimination and guarantees equal rights and due process.
The issue of whether transgender girls should be allowed to participate in female sports has become flashpoint across the U.S. with Republican lawmakers passing legislation to block them based on the premise it gives them an unfair competitive advantage. Transgender rights advocates counter that the rules aren't just about sports, but another way to demean and attack transgender youth.
Similar legal cases have been playing out in Idaho, West Virginia and Indiana.
As of March, the Utah High School Activities Association knew of only one transgender girl playing in K-12 sports who would be affected by the ban. The association, which organizes leagues for 85,000 students, has said there have been no publicly made allegations of any of the state’s four transgender youth athletes enjoying competitive advantages. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Judge-won-t-toss-lawsuit-against-Utah-transgender-17365672.php | 2022-08-11T00:38:14 | en | 0.966366 |
VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - LUXXFOLIO Holdings Inc. (the "Company" or "LUXXFOLIO" which includes reference to its subsidiaries) (CSE: LUXX) (OTCQB: LUXFF) (Frankfurt/Berlin: LUH), announces that it has agreed to a debt settlement arrangement (the "Debt Settlement") with its major lender (the "Lender"). Under the Debt Settlement, the Company will reduce its debt by approximately USD$5.8mm (the "Debt") in exchange for a reduction to its current mining fleet by approximately 1900 machines (the "Miners"). The Debt represents the Company's entire obligation to the Lender and substantially all the Company's long-term debt. The Miners represent substantially all the remaining mining machines that were directly acquired by the Company via asset backed financing facilities with the Lender.
To facilitate and simplify the Debt Settlement, the Company agreed, at the Lender's request, to have an event of default occur under the existing financing agreements to permit the Lender to execute its right under such agreements to take ownership of the Miners in full satisfaction of the Debt. The Debt Settlement is subject to the delivery of the Miners to the Lender and the Lender's satisfactory inspection of them.
This is a strategic move to manage risk in the volatile bitcoin mining industry and the general market conditions. LUXXFOLIO gains financial flexibility and capacity in our New Mexico site to aggressively pursue our immersion mining strategy.
LUXXFOLIO believes immersion is the future of mining and provides a risk-reduced business strategy for mining. With immersion mining, LUXXFOLIO collects consistent monthly hosting revenue, plus the bitcoin mined through the overclocking of hashrate – as high as 50%. This strategy reduces the significant capital required to procure and maintain current generation ASIC miners.
Immersion also provides benefits for a longer life cycle for mining equipment, a stable environment, and consistent temperatures year-round, even in warmer climates. The Company's initial immersion system commenced mining operations on August 8, 2022.
LUXXFOLIO will continue to leverage relationships developed with the Navajo Nation, benefitting from affordable green energy in climates and locations that otherwise would not be suitable for mining.

LUXXFOLIO Holdings Inc. is a publicly traded digital asset company based in Canada. It operates an industrial scale cryptocurrency mining facility in the United States powered predominately by renewable energy with a focus on the blockchain ecosystem and generation of digital assets.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy pleaded not guilty Wednesday to sexually assaulting four girls between the ages of 7 and 13, prosecutors said.
Sean Essex, 51, was ordered held without bail.
The county district attorney's office said he was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday on 47 counts including committing lewd acts on a child under the age of 14, oral copulation of a child, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14 and possessing material depicting a child sex act.
The office didn’t provide details of the alleged assaults.
Essex could face multiple life sentences if convicted of all charges.
“Sexually assaulting a child not only robs them of their innocence but also leaves lasting mental trauma," District Attorney George Gascón said in a statement. “This is one of the most egregious crimes my office encounters and it is made worse when the crime is committed by someone who has been entrusted to protect them and our community from harm.”
One alleged victim reported abuse in 2006 but the district attorney's office declined to file charges at that time, prosecutors said. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/LA-County-deputy-pleads-not-guilty-to-child-sex-17365596.php | 2022-08-11T00:38:20 | en | 0.9707 |

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has declared victory over COVID-19 and ordered an easing of preventive measures, calling his country's officially reported death toll of just 74 people an unprecedented miracle in the history of world health, state media said Thursday.
Kim’s powerful sister also spoke during the virus meeting in capital, Pyongyang, on Wednesday and blamed the country’s infections on anti-Pyongyang leaflets flown in by rival South Korea and warned of counteraction that would be a “deadly retaliatory one.”
After maintaining a widely disputed claim to be coronavirus-free for more than two years, North Korea on May 12 admitted to a COVID-19 outbreak, saying an unspecified number of people in Pyongyang were diagnosed with the omicron variant.
North Korea has since reported about 4.8 million “fever cases” out of its population of 26 million but only identified a fraction of them as COVID-19. It says 74 people have died, an extremely low fatality rate that experts have widely questioned in part because almost no one in North Korea is vaccinated against the coronavirus.
North Korean health officials have been claiming a slowing outbreak for weeks, reporting no suspected cases since late July, a rapid decline experts have also questioned.
Some experts say North Korea has likely manipulated the scale of illness and deaths to help Kim maintain his absolute leadership amid mounting economic difficulties in the isolated nation.
The North’s official Korean Central News Agency said Thursday that Kim “solemnly declared the victory in the maximum emergency anti-epidemic campaign” and instructed a return to normal level preventive measures.
He called for the nation to maintain vigilance and effective controls in border areas, citing the global spread of new COVID-19 variants and monkeypox.
Following the country’s first admission of the outbreak in May, Kim placed strict prohibitions on travel between cities and counties to slow the spread of the virus. But he also stressed that his economic goals should be met, which meant huge groups continued to gather at agricultural, industrial and construction sites.
North Korea first suggested in July that its COVID-19 outbreak began in people who had contact with balloons flown from South Korea — a questionable claim that appeared to be an attempt to hold its rival responsible amid increasing tensions over the North's nuclear program.
Activists for years have flown balloons across the border to distribute hundreds of thousands of propaganda leaflets critical of Kim, and North Korea has often expressed fury at the activists and at South Korea’s leadership for not stopping them.
During Wednesday's meeting, Kim’s sister, Kim Yo Jong reiterated those claims, calling the country’s virus crisis a “hysteric farce” kicked off by South Korea to escalate confrontation.
“(South Korean) puppets are still thrusting leaflets and dirty objects into our territory. We must counter it toughly,” she said. “We have already considered various counteraction plans, but our countermeasure must be a deadly retaliatory one.”
Such claims contradict outside views that the coronavirus spread after North Korea briefly reopened its northern border with China to freight traffic in January and surged further following a military parade and other large-scale events in Pyongyang in April.
Ties between the Koreas remain strained amid a long-running stalemate in U.S.-led diplomacy on persuading North Korea to abandon its nuclear ambitions in return for economic and political benefits.
South Korean and U.S. officials have said North Korea could be gearing up for its first nuclear test in five years amid its torrid run of weapons tests this year that included its first demonstrations of intercontinental ballistic missiles since 2017. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/N-Korea-claims-victory-over-virus-blames-Seoul-17365693.php | 2022-08-11T00:38:26 | en | 0.965385 |
NAPERVILLE, Ill., Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Track Group, Inc. (OTCQX: TRCK), a global leader in offender tracking and monitoring services, today announced financial results for its third quarter ended June 30, 2022 ("Q3 FY22"). In Q3 FY22, the Company posted (i) total revenue of $9.0 million, compared to total revenue for the third quarter ended June 30, 2022 ("Q3 FY21") of $10.3 million; (ii) operating loss of ($0.53 million) compared to Q3 FY21 operating income of $1.3M; and (iii) net loss attributable to common shareholders of ($3.6 million) in Q3 FY22 compared to net income of $1.2 million in Q3 FY21.
"Although a reinvestment in our technology and infrastructure, coupled with supply chain constraints brought on by the pandemic continued to put a damper on our financial results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2022, we anticipate the realization of several preempted strategies in the next sixty to one hundred twenty days which would enable us to increase the manufacturing of new devices, commence implementation of recently awarded programs and support customer growth and demands into FY23," said Derek Cassell, Track Group's CEO.
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
- Total revenue of $9.0 million in Q3 FY22 was down compared to Q3 FY21 total revenue of $10.3 million. Revenue for the 9 months ended June 30, 2022 ("9M FY22") of $28.1 million was also down approximately 5% compared to revenue of $29.6 million for the 9 months ended June 30, 2021 ("9M FY21") as declines in North America monitoring revenue was offset by increases in both monitoring and product sales among international customers. Revenues are expected to rebound as fulfilled orders from strategic supply chain deliveries resume over the next two quarters.
- Gross profit in Q3 FY22 was $4.0 million compared to Q3 FY21 gross profit of $5.6 million. Gross profit for the 9M FY22 was $13.3 million compared to gross profit of $16.3 million for 9M FY21, principally due to the decline in revenue, and an increase in certain expenses including higher depreciation and amortization, server, device repair and telecommunication expenses.
- Adjusted EBITDA for the Q3 FY22 was $1.3 million, compared to $2.8 million for Q3 FY21. Adjusted EBITDA for 9M FY22 was $5.3 million compared to the Adjusted EBITDA for 9M FY21 of $8.3 million. As a percentage of revenue, adjusted EBITDA continues to remain strong at 18.8%, for the 9M FY22 compared to 28.2% for the 9M FY21.
- As of June 30, 2022, the cash balance was down to $4.9 million compared to $8.4 million on September 30, 2021. The reduction in cash from September 30, 2021, reflects continued significant capital investments made by the Company of approximately $3.0 million in the 9M FY22 to build additional monitoring devices, update software, and develop next-generation tracking technology.
- Total operating expense for Q3 FY22 of $4.5 million was up 4% versus Q3 FY21's total operating expense of $4.3 million, principally due to an increase in travel, tradeshow, payroll and insurance expenses offset by a reduction in bad debt expense. When combined with the reduction in gross profit, the increase in quarterly operating expense led to an operating loss in Q3 FY22 of $0.5 million compared to operating income of $1.3 million for Q3 FY21. Similarly, for the 9M FY22, operating income was less than $0.1 million compared to operating income of $4.4 million for the 9M FY21 due to the reduction in gross profit and the increase in operating expense.
- The Net loss attributable to common shareholders in Q3 FY22 was $3.6 million compared to Net income attributable to common shareholders of $1.2 million in Q3 FY21. Similarly, the Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the 9M FY22 was $3.5 million, compared to net income of $4.7 million for the 9M FY21, a change principally attributable to the reduction in Other Income to a loss position caused by the drop in operating income, a currency exchange loss and the swing from the forgiveness of the PPP loan one year ago to a legal settlement during the period.
Business Outlook
The extent to which supply chain delays, the Coronavirus, and the transition to 4G/LTE telecommunications technology impact our future operations will depend on numerous factors that we cannot accurately predict. However, we will not match our results for the fiscal year ended September 2021 ("FY21") in the upcoming year ending September 30, 2022 ("FY22"). Despite these short-term challenges faced by companies worldwide, Track Group remains confident that our continued focus on strategic adaptation, and growth, which evidenced success in FY21, will allow us to be well-positioned for a return to growth in FY23.

BATAVIA, N.Y. (AP) — A Christian pastor in western New York said he felt intimidated and harassed after the state's attorney general, a Democrat, sent a letter saying she believed a planned far-right political event at his church this week could lead to racial violence.
In the letter sent on Aug. 3, Attorney General Letitia James warned organizers of the ReAwaken America Tour event that her office could take legal action if “extremist” rhetoric by speakers spurred violent or unlawful conduct.
The two-day event at the Cornerstone Church in Batavia, midway between Buffalo and Rochester, is scheduled to feature President Donald Trump's son, Eric Trump, former national security adviser Michael Flynn and others. James' letter was addressed to Flynn and event organizer Clay Clark and sent in care of the church.
Cornerstone Church Pastor Paul Doyle said there was no validity to the suggestion that the event was promoting racism or violence.
“I take exception to the words she uses, like extreme views," he told The Associated Press. "What’s that mean? What’s extreme? We’re conservative Christians. Now we’re extreme?”
He said the letter had scared members of his congregation, a group of about 150 to 200 people, which he described as multi-ethnic and multi-racial.
“It feels like she’s trying to intimidate me. We’re a small-town church,” Doyle said.
A few dozen people gathered outside the Batavia church earlier this week to protest the event, which also will feature MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, COVID-19 conspiracy theorists and people who tried to throw out the results of the 2020 presidential election.
The U.S. Constitution offers strong protections to free speech and James, in her letter, didn't directly ask for the event to be cancelled or for certain speakers to be disinvited.
But James said she was concerned that the event, which is being held on the five-year anniversary of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, “could spur extremist or racially motivated violence.” She cited “past extremist statements made by yourselves and the other featured speakers on the tour," specifically mentioning a racist conspiracy theory that recently inspired a gunman to kill 10 Black people at a Buffalo supermarket.
Investigators, she said, “stand ready” to respond to any violations of state laws.
“You are therefore instructed to take all necessary steps to ensure that the event complies fully with the requirements of New York’s civil rights laws and all other applicable state and federal statutes,” James wrote, noting the possibility of $5,000 fines for violations.
James’ office declined to comment on the pastor's complaint that the letter was intended to chill free speech, but noted that the letter was addressed to the event organizers, not the church or pastor.
The letter didn't cite any specific acts of violence at past ReAwaken America Tour events.
At one tour’s stop in Phoenix in January, police were called after attendees taunted teachers from a nearby school because they were wearing medical masks.
Some of the events have drawn small but peaceful protests. After a community uproar in Oregon, a ReAwaken tour stop in April was relocated from a county fairground in rural city of Redmond to a minor league baseball stadium in the state capital, over two hours away.
At some of the events, the Christian group Faithful America has dispatched a mobile billboard truck to circle the events to “expose the speakers as false prophets who are twisting and distorting religion to attack democracy,” its leader, the Rev. Nathan Empsall, said.
Doyle said that his church’s Facebook page started getting comments accusing it of racism within minutes of announcing the event would be held in Batavia instead of nearby Rochester, where another venue had canceled after a backlash from elected officials, entertainers and others.
Doyle said the church is contemplating possible action but was not more specific.
“Harassment from our own government. I feel harassed. I am a law-abiding — I’m a businessman. I’m law-abiding, I’m God-fearing, and I’m hosting an event," he said. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/ReAwaken-Tour-host-says-he-feels-harassed-by-NY-17365691.php | 2022-08-11T00:38:32 | en | 0.971675 |

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — The Denver Broncos now sport the wealthiest owner in the NFL and the league's most diverse ownership group.
Four of the six members of the Walton-Penner ownership group which was welcomed into the NFL fraternity this week, are either women or minorities.
Walmart heir Rob Walton said Wednesday that his son-in-law, Greg Penner, will serve as CEO of the team. Penner, in turn, said he'll soon hire a team president.
Those roles had been held by Joe Ellis, who is staying on this year as an advisor.
Penner said he'll be the point person “but this is an incredible group. We're going to draw on all of them.”
Walton thanked Ellis for his 27 years of service and paid tribute to the late Pat Bowlen, who purchased the team in 1984 for $78 million and who died in 2019 a month shy of his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“Pat Bowlen built a great legacy and a record of winning and championships,” Walton said. “We plan to do everything we can to build on the championship tradition of this great organization. ... Simply put, it's an honor to steward this historic franchise. Our No. 1 priority is putting a winning team on the field to win Super Bowls.”
Walton, the oldest child of Walmart co-founder Sam Walton, bought the Broncos along with his daughter, Carrie Walton Penner, and her husband, for $4.65 billion, a global record for a professional sports franchise.
Walton's estimated net worth is $60 billion. Before Walton's group purchased the Broncos, the NFL's wealthiest owner was Carolina’s David Tepper, whom Forbes estimates has a total net worth of $16.7 billion.
The ownership group includes limited partners Mellody Hobson, Condoleezza Rice and Lewis Hamilton. Hobson is CEO of Starbucks, Rice is a professor at Stanford and former U.S. Secretary of State and Hamilton is the winningest Formula One driver in history.
All three investors are Black, satisfying the league’s goal to bring more racial diversity into ownership groups, front offices and coaching staffs.
“We wanted to add people that brought different perspectives and experiences and certainly we have that here,” Penner said. "Lewis, being the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) Formula One driver, Dr. Rice with all of her experience in politics and academics and world affairs, Mellody, as a you know, an incredible businesswoman and her track record there.
“We’re big believers in bringing together different perspectives and experiences and backgrounds and that we think will make us more successful.”
All but Hamilton, who's in season, gathered at team headquarters a day after fellow NFL owners unanimously approved the sale Tuesday in Minnesota.
The Broncos new ownership group met with staff and players before practice and star safety Justin Simmons said he was proud to see so many faces of color.
“To see some diversity and to see strong, Black women in the ownership group, I mean, what an inspiration for so many people," said Simmons, who is biracial. "There's little girls out here whose dads play on the team and they can look up at the ownership of the Broncos and they can see someone that looks just like them and I think that's really great.
“But I think the biggest thing on top of that is they didn't just do that to do that,” Simmons said. “I mean, these are really powerful, qualified individuals that deserve this, earned this, worked for this. And that to me in inspiring.”
Hobson called it “such an honor and a privilege to be an owner of this remarkable organization. ... The moment is humbling and it's historical, and yet, I feel at home.”
Hobson said when she was first approached about joining the ownership group, she encouraged Walton to also bring aboard her friend Hamilton.
“Lewis is my chosen little brother,” she said. “As soon as this opportunity came up, I said, ‘You have to have Lewis.’ I met Lewis in his rookie season as an F1 driver We bonded over time. As many of you know, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth and I call him, ‘Sir Little Brother.’
“He has this winning mentality not just on the track but in everything that he does. He cares deeply about people, about our planet and as the first and one (Black F1 driver) in his sport, about diversity, equity and inclusion.”
Rice, who grew up in Denver, joked that her late father, who was a big football fan, “has to be thinking, ‘She finally got a really important job.’”
Penner, who said he doesn't anticipate bringing aboard any more limited partners, demurred when asked if John Elway or Peyton Manning would be involved with the team going forward.
The new owners met with both on the field Wednesday. Elway told The Associated Press earlier this year that he'd like to advise the new owners to help them in their first year.
“We're just going to learn from both of them," Penner said. "I think it's going to be a really good relationship.”
While saying he was thrilled that GM George Payton acquired quarterback Russell Wilson this spring, Penner gave no timeline for a contract extension that's expected to be worth about $260 million over five years.

IRVINE, Calif., Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ATIF Holdings Limited (Nasdaq: ATIF, the "Company," "ATIF" or "We"), a holding company providing business and financial consulting services in Asia and North America, is pleased to announce that the Company's IPO advisory services client and investment holding in Solarever Ltd.("Solarever"), a Mexican solar energy and electric vehicle company, has seen rapid growth in its recent electric vehicle orders. Based on the investment agreement between Solarever and the Company, ATIF holds a 5.25% equity stake in Solarever.
The high climb in global crude oil prices this year has led to a subsequent spike in the price of gas, creating a strong consumer interest in electric vehicles. According to the American Automobile Association ("AAA"), the state gas price averages in U.S. is $4.07/gallon on August 7, 2022, an increase of 27.6% from $3.19/gallon on the prior year's August 7, and regular gas prices in California and Hawaii are over $5.00/gallon. According to AAA's latest consumer survey revealed on July 13, 2022, one quarter of Americans say they are likely to buy an electric vehicle (powered entirely by electricity, i.e., not a hybrid) for their next vehicle purchase, with millennials leading the way (30%). The common factor among those who want to buy an electric vehicle is a strong desire to save on fuel costs, with 77 percent citing this as the top reason for interest.
Solarever is the leading designer and manufacturer of solar products in Mexico, including photovoltaics (PV) panels, energy storage systems, electric vehicles (EV), and other zero-emission solutions operating in solar and electric vehicle sectors. Solarever is the first and currently only domestic electric vehicle company in Mexico that has been granted electric vehicle safety certification and an EV dealer's license. Solarever launched its first EV, the SEV e-Wan in 2022 which has garnered sizable customer interest and purchase orders in Mexico. The SEV e-Wan starts at $14,500.
Jun Liu, President, Chairman of the Board, and CEO of ATIF, commented, "We highly believe in Solarever's growth potential, based on our strong view of the future of the sustainable energy industry. Solarever is one of the leading players in the solar PV industry and is also active in the electric vehicle industry, which has significant growth potential. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), EV makers plowed through rising prices and broken supply chains to sell 6.6 million electric vehicles in 2021, doubling global sales and tripling the EV market share in just two years. From what we understand, Solarever's recent electric vehicle sales have been brisk and purchase orders are growing rapidly! At the same time, Solarever's IPO process is steadily progressing and we are very excited to see the high returns that this investment will enable us and our shareholders to achieve in its future IPO."

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Brandon Drury hit a go-ahead, three-run home run in the sixth and Austin Nola's two-run homer capped a seven-run rally — all with two outs — that carried the San Diego Padres to a wild 13-7 win against the San Francisco Giants on Wednesday.
The Padres fell behind 4-0, surged ahead 6-4 after Manny Machado's two-run double ignited a six-run rally in the third and then fell behind 7-6 in the sixth. But the Padres came through with another big rally in the bottom of the sixth, the second time they batted around in the game.
Drury lined a 1-2 pitch from Yunior Marte (0-1) into the seats in left field with two outs to make it 9-7. Machado and Josh Bell were aboard on singles. The Padres added on with Kim Ha-seong's RBI double, an error and then Nola's shot into a balcony on the Western Metal Supply Co. Building in the left field corner. It was Drury's 22nd and Nola's third.
Machado and Jake Cronenworth had three hits apiece and Drury drove in four runs. The Padres scored 20 runs in winning two straight games after suffering two straight shutouts at the end of a five-game losing streak. They went 26 scoreless innings from the fourth inning Saturday against the Los Angeles Dodgers until Juan Soto hit his first homer with the Padres in the fourth inning Tuesday night. The Padres won that game 7-4 on Machado's three-run walk-off homer.
Robert Suarez (3-1) pitched 1 2/3 innings for the win.
San Diego now heads to Washington, where Soto and Josh Bell will face their old team. They were acquired from the Nationals in a blockbuster trade on Aug. 2.
The Padres sent 11 batters to the plate in the third and scored six runs on six hits, two walks and a fielder's choice. They sent seven batters to the plate and scored four runs before making an out while chasing starter Jakob Junis.
For the third time in franchise history, they had four hits with the bases loaded. Besides Machado's double, the Padres got bases-loaded singles from Drury, Cronenworth and Trent Grisham. Another run scored on Nola's fielder's choice.
The Padres needed the big rally after the Giants scored three runs in the third to take a 4-0 lead. Two of those runs came in when Soto, the right fielder, misplayed Austin Slater's single into three bases, allowing two runs to score. Wilmer Flores then singled in Slater.
San Francisco went ahead 7-6 in the sixth with a three-run rally capped by pinch-hitter Joc Pederson's RBI single.
J.D. Davis homered with one out the second, his seventh, off Padres starter Sean Manaea.
Manaea allowed four runs, three earned, and six hits in five innings.
Junis allowed six runs and seven hits in 2 1/3 innings.
UP NEXT
Giants: Have not named a starter for Friday night's series opener at home against Pittsburgh.
Padres: RHP Mike Clevinger (3-4, 3.60 ERA) is scheduled to start Friday night in the opener of a three-game series at Washington, against RHP Cory Abbott (0-1, 5.68).

BALTIMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles and Toronto Blue Jays were rained out Wednesday night in what was supposed to be the finale of their three-game series.
The game never started, and it was called over an hour after it was supposed to begin. Tuesday night's game — a 6-5 Baltimore win — included a 78-minute rain delay.
The good news for these teams was they had plenty of options for makeup dates. There are still four more scheduled series between them, including two in Baltimore. The Orioles and Blue Jays will now play a single-admission doubleheader in Baltimore on Sept. 5.
Even without playing, the Orioles had some success Wednesday. Tampa Bay lost to Milwaukee, moving Baltimore into a tie with the Rays for the final postseason spot in the American League.

Haylie Duff and Children's Optometrist Share Why Summer Vacation is for Sun, Fun and a Tech Time-Out
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
BACKGROUND:
While summer is the time for vacation, it can also be when kids spend most of those hot days indoors, reading books or playing on devices – a combination of which contributes to the progression of myopia. Myopia, also known as nearsightedness, is a common disease in which people can see close objects clearly, but far away objects appear blurred. Myopia continues to worsen over time and can even lead to serious eye conditions, especially when more time is spent on activities that keep kids indoors.
Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/9046851-haylie-duff-and-childrens-optometrist-global-myopia-awareness-coalition-screen-staycation/
Did you know that just 76 extra minutes outside a day can reduce the risk of myopia by 50%? That's why we're encouraging families to spend more time outdoors this summer and take a "Screen Staycation" – a challenge to go 24 hours without any screens. And there's good news! Myopia can now be managed, and early intervention is key to setting children up for success today and in the future. Summer is the perfect time to schedule appointments before back-to-school is in full swing and have a conversation with your children's eye doctor about new treatment options – beyond conventional glasses and contacts – that can help slow the progression of the disease.
Haylie Duff and Dr. Nathan Bonilla-Warford, 'Dr. Nate,' discuss the link between the increase of myopia in children and near work (like screen time), how early intervention can slow the progression of myopia and tips on how to take part in a "Screen Staycation" this summer.
DID YOU KNOW?
- According to a survey by the Global Myopia Awareness Coalition, 61% of parents said their children's use of video games has increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while 44% said their children spend four hours or more on electric devices each day – including television, or handheld devices, completing schoolwork on a computer, or playing video games.
- Myopia currently affects around one-third of the world's population and is predicted to affect half of the world's population by 2050.

SEATTLE (AP) — Carlos Santana snapped an 0-for-17 slump with a go-ahead two-run homer during Seattle's three-run seventh inning, and the Mariners rallied to beat the slumping New York Yankees 4-3 on Wednesday.
Aaron Judge hit his major league-leading 45th homer of the season for the Yankees, who have lost eight of 10.
Thanks to two tense, one-run victories, Seattle took two of three from New York for the second straight week to win the season series 4-2. The Mariners won 1-0 in 13 innings on Tuesday night. With the Yankees leading the AL East and Seattle in the first AL wild-card spot, the teams could meet again in the playoffs.
Seattle has not lost a series to a team other than AL West-leading Houston since mid-June, when it dropped four of five to the Los Angeles Angels.
Kyle Higashioka hit a go-ahead, two-run homer on the 115th and final pitch from Seattle starter Robbie Ray in the seventh to snap a 19-inning scoreless streak for the Yankees, and Judge's longball against Penn Murfee (3-0) made it 3-1 later in the frame.
Murfee then retired D.J. LeMahieu and Anthony Rizzo, Diego Castillo pitched a perfect eighth, and Paul Sewald worked the ninth for his 15th save.
Ray and New York starter Nestor Cortes were both terrific, following standout performances Tuesday night from the Yankees' Gerrit Cole and the Mariners' Luis Castillo.
Cortes struck out 10 and didn't allow a hit until Sam Haggerty homered off the left-field foul pole with one out in the sixth. He was lifted after giving up consecutive singles to Ty France and Mitch Haniger to open the seventh. Haniger's hit scored France to make it 3-2.
Albert Abreu (2-2) struck out Eugenio Suarez but left a changeup in the middle of the plate and Santana didn’t miss, hitting his seventh home run since being acquired by Seattle in June.
Ray allowed three hits and two runs in 6 1/3 innings. He struck out seven but walked a season-high five.

Seattle optioned OF/DH Kyle Lewis and LHP Brandon Bernardino to Triple-A Tacoma to clear roster spots for the return of Diego Castillo and utilityman Dylan Moore.
Lewis, the 2020 AL rookie of the year, struggled badly at the plate after returning from a concussion. Lewis was hitting .098 with 18 strikeouts in his previous 46 plate appearances.
“Kyle’s tool is the bat and it has been a struggle since he came back up here. Recently, the strikeout has crept in. I do think there’s a role for him on our club. But you need to be productive,” Seattle manager Scott Servais said.
Seattle is also moving RHP Chris Flexen to the bullpen. The Mariners picked up a sixth starter when they acquired Luis Castillo at the trade deadline. Servais said Flexen may come back into the rotation later in the season as Seattle monitors the innings of rookie George Kirby.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Yankees: Rizzo returned to the lineup after missing the previous five games with lower back issues.
Mariners: Seattle remains hopeful CF Julio Rodriguez (wrist) will be activated off the injured list before Friday’s series opener in Texas. ... SS J.P. Crawford was given the day off.
UP NEXT
Yankees: RHP Domingo German (1-2, 5.09 ERA) will start the opener of a three-game series at Boston on Friday.
Mariners: Seattle has not announced its rotation for the series at Texas that begins Friday.

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Magneuris Sierra hit an RBI single in the 10th inning, then doubled home the go-ahead run in the 12th that lifted the Los Angeles Angels over the Oakland Athletics 5-4 on Wednesday for a three-game sweep.
The A's suffered their second winless homestand of the season at 0-5.
Jaime Barría (2-2) limited the A’s to an unearned run in three innings of relief to pick up his first win since May 8.
The teams traded runs in the 10th inning, with Sierra and Ramón Laureano producing RBI singles. Austin Pruitt (0-1) gave up Sierra's deciding double.
The Angels took a 3-0 lead in the sixth on a three-run homer by Luis Rengifo, his seventh of the year.
Oakland tied it in the seventh on a three-run double by Tony Kemp, who was thrown out at third trying to stretch it to a triple.
Athletics starter JP Sears allowed two runs in 5 1/3 innings in his Oakland debut. The left-hander was acquired from the Yankees along with Ken Waldichuk, Luis Medina and Cooper Bowman for Frankie Montas and Lou Trivino on Aug. 1.
Angels right-hander Touki Toussaint fanned six in five scoreless innings in his first start of the season and third appearance overall.
Angels star Shohei Ohtani went 1 for 4 with a single and an intentional walk.
LOWRIE DESIGNATED FOR ASSIGNMENT
Before the game, the A’s designated veteran infielder Jed Lowrie for assignment, ending the 38-year-old’s third stint in Oakland.
“He’s been a part of some great clubs, especially of late,” manager Mark Kotsay said. “He’s had some great moments here. So definitely not an easy day.”
Lowrie played for the Athletics from 2013-14, 2016-18 and 2021-22, making his lone All-Star Game in 2018. In 50 games this season, he batted .180 with three home runs and 16 RBIs.
Oakland also selected the contract of outfielder Cal Stevenson from Triple-A Las Vegas. He started in center field and went 1 for 3 with a single, walk and sacrifice bunt in his major league debut.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Athletics: RHP Paul Blackburn was placed on the 15-day injured list retroactive to Aug. 5 with inflammation in his right middle finger. “We’re going to get him evaluated by a hand specialist Monday,” Kotsay said. Sears was called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to replace Blackburn on the active roster.
UP NEXT
Angels: LHP Patrick Sandoval (3-7, 3.41 ERA) seeks his first win since May 22 as Los Angeles opens a three-game home series against the Minnesota Twins on Friday. Sandoval has lost six straight decisions.
Athletics: RHP Adam Oller (1-5, 7.63) opens a three-game series in Houston on Friday. Oller earned his first major league win against the Astros on July 25, allowing four runs (three earned) in five innings in a 7-5 victory.

SUMMIT COUNTY, Utah — Summit County is set to launch a new firefighting program to help protect local areas as the federal system continues to be overextended with larger and larger fires.
It's called the Summit County Wildland Fire Unit, and it wouldn’t what would be thought of as a normal fire department.
Instead, it's group of volunteers who can augment staffing elsewhere should the need arise if a larger fires grows/
“Where we are nationally with the resources available with the amount of fires occurring that are going larger, it has over the last couple of years taxed resource availability,” said Bryce Boyer with Summit County Fire. “Any kind of fire that goes a longer duration is what we're looking at this team for.”
The team, which falls under the county's emergency management agency, is being started from scratch, so that means recruiting members is underway, along with finding new gear, equipment, and funding. However, the county is on board and will be taking care of the cost of the unit.
Since the team will be volunteer-based, it will only called in when needed. So far, seven firefighters that are Red Card certified have already signed up.
“We started reaching out to folks that I've worked with for a number of years.” Boyer said.
This means the team has already completed the required training to do the job, and Boyer says dozens of others are also ready to be trained and will be set to go this fall, with up to 30 people on the squad next year.
The big reason for this team's creation is because of the ongoing wildfire problem across the country.
According to the National Interagency Fire Center, there have been 40,775 incidents this year, burning over 5.8 million acres. On Wednesday alone there were 11,992 fire crews working the frontlines of wildfires across the country, all of that adding up to resources being spread thin.
“Building our capacity locally is a huge benefit because you don't know how long it's going to take to get those resources in or if they're even going to be available.” said Boyer. “Ultimately, I would hope that this grows to the point where we have enough members and appropriate equipment that they could be sent out to neighboring counties statewide and even nationally.”
It's an idea that’s already catching on with Boyer saying a number of other counties are now looking at this as a possibility for their communities.
Anyone interested in volunteering for the unit should email Boyer at bryceboyer@utah.gov. | https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-news/summit-county-launches-unique-team-to-battle-wildfires | 2022-08-11T00:43:52 | en | 0.978177 |

Talk show icon Oprah Winfrey's company Harpo Inc. is suing the creators of the podcast "Oprahdemics" citing unauthorized use of Winfrey's trademarked name without a license.
Harpo Inc., vs Kellie Carter Jackson and Leah Wright Rigueur will examine if the podcasting duo is attempting to use the name sans license to capitalize on what is known as "The Oprah Effect," according to the Hollywood Reporter.
When Roulette Productions launched the "Oprahdemics" podcast project in March, the creators were able to work up enough success to wrap up the first season with a live show at the Tribeca Film Festival in June. The show focuses on studying the "Queen of Talk" with the podcast, the oprahdemics.com website and multiple other social sites.
The suit levied by Harpo Inc. aims to try and protect the trademark rights of Oprah's brand and the "O" logo. But, the lawsuit is being seen as one that is trying to shutter a project seen as more academic than commercial, as Bloomberg Law reports.
Carter Jackson and Wright Rigueur are both professors, one from Wellesley College and the other from Johns Hopkins University respectively.
The "Oprahdemics" podcast markets its first season as 15 episodes that cover everything from "diets to budgets to Tyler Perry, Beyonce & more." So a plethora of topics that affect people's everyday lives, along with exciting parts of pop culture, just like Oprah's talk show over the years along with her many other media projects.
As Law 360 reported, Harpo Inc. filed the lawsuit on Tuesday in a New York federal court claiming accusing Roulette Productions of trademark infringement, and claiming that the show's creators intentionally mislead listeners and consumers into thinking Oprah Winfrey is affiliated with the project.

NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. — President Joe Biden arrived in South Carolina on Wednesday to begin what is expected to be at least a seven-day vacation with members of his family outside Washington.
The first couple was planning to be in Kiawah Island, noted for its private beach and golf resort, through Tuesday, according to Federal Aviation Administration advisories.
The White House did not respond to requests to provide details on Biden's vacation schedule, activities or when he planned to return to Washington. The president will stay at a friend's home on the island that the family has used for previous visits, according to a White House official.
Biden, accompanied by first lady Jill Biden, departed the White House by motorcade to Joint Base Andrews outside the capital, where Air Force One was on hand to take them to Joint Base Charleston. Biden was dropped off at a private home in a gated community alongside a golf course on the island.
Biden was joined on Air Force One by his son, Hunter Biden, daughter-in-law Melissa Cohen and grandson Beau.
While Biden is in South Carolina, the House is set to vote to approve a bill full of Biden's priorities, including the most substantial investment in history to fight climate change, some $369 billion over the decade. The measure would cap prescription drug costs at $2,000 out-of-pocket for Medicare recipients and help an estimated 13 million Americans pay for health care insurance by extending subsidies provided during the coronavirus pandemic.
The White House demurred on when Biden plans to sign the bill, saying it was focused on helping ensure the House approved the measure.
Biden's 2021 vacation plans were scrambled by Washington's legislative calendar, a COVID-19 case surge, and the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.
Summer vacations are a presidential tradition. George W. Bush often spent August clearing brush in the 100-degree heat that baked his central Texas ranch. Barack Obama worked on his golf game on the Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard. Donald Trump spent time at his home on his private golf club in central New Jersey.
The White House in the past has emphasized that the president is never truly free from the job's responsibilities — and that he'll continue to consult with aides and take his daily national security briefing regardless of his location.
And at times, presidents have had to make legacy-defining decisions while on vacation, including Bush’s response to Hurricane Katrina flooding New Orleans in 2005. Bill Clinton ordered airstrikes against al-Qaida terrorists from Martha’s Vineyard in response to the bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. And Bush’s father, President George H.W. Bush, planned the U.S. response to Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990 from his family’s oceanfront compound in Kennebunkport, Maine. | https://www.weareiowa.com/article/news/nation-world/biden-summer-vacation-in-south-carolina/507-4338cc92-e9f8-47d9-ad1f-d3d5e7aa8496 | 2022-08-11T00:44:36 | en | 0.967757 |

WASHINGTON — Disney+ is expanding its subscription plans and bundles to include cheaper ad-supported memberships and raising its current prices, the media giant announced Wednesday.
The cheapest plan for the streaming service comes to $7.99 a month and includes ads. The regular ad-free plan is $10.99 a month or $109.99 annually, an increase from the current $7.99 per month. Disney+ also announced an array of bundles that mix and match memberships for Hulu and ESPN+.
Consumers will have the option to bundle all three services for $12.99 a month with ads included.
“With our new ad-supported Disney+ offering and an expanded lineup of plans across our entire streaming portfolio, we will be providing greater consumer choice at a variety of price points to cater to the diverse needs of our viewers and appeal to an even broader audience,” said Kareem Daniel, Chairman, Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution in the press release.
Disney+ announced plans for an ad-supported membership in March as part of a push to build an audience of 230-260 million subscribers by 2024.
Hulu, which Disney owns, already features ad-supported plans. Other platforms, such as Netflix, have announced a shift towards an ad-supported model.
Last month, Netflix paired up with Microsoft for its global ad sales and expected its ad-tier to launch in early 2023. Netflix shed almost 1 million subscribers during the spring amid tougher competition and soaring inflation that’s squeezing household budgets, heightening the urgency behind the video streaming service’s effort to launch a cheaper option with commercial interruptions.
HBO Max announced plans to merge its HBO Max and Discovery+ streaming services early this month, with a U.S. rollout anticipated for next year.
Subscription Plans for Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+:
- Disney+Basic (With Ads) --$7.99 a month
- Disney+Premium (No Ads) --$10.99 a month or $109.99 annual

WASHINGTON — An Iranian operative has been charged in a plot to murder former U.S. national security adviser John Bolton in presumed retaliation for a U.S. airstrike that killed the country’s most powerful general, offering $300,000 to “eliminate” the Trump administration official, the Justice Department said Wednesday.
Shahram Poursafi, identified by U.S. officials as a member of Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, is currently wanted by the FBI on charges related to the murder-for-hire plot.
Prosecutors say the scheme unfolded more than a year after Qassem Soleimani, the head of the Revolutionary Guard’s elite Quds Force and an architect of Tehran’s proxy wars in the Middle East, was killed in a targeted airstrike as he traveled from Baghdad’s international airport in January 2020. After the strike, Bolton, who by then had left his White House post, tweeted, “Hope this is the first step to regime change in Tehran.”
The FBI believes that Poursafi was acting on behalf of the Revolutionary Guard when he sought to have Bolton killed, according to an affidavit unsealed Wednesday. Law enforcement officials located photographs of Poursafi in fatigues and with posters of Iran and Soleimani in the background to back up their allegation that he is a uniformed Revolutionary Guard member.
The Justice Department traces the plot to the fall of 2021, when Poursafi, 45, an Iranian citizen who officials say has never visited the United States, asked an unidentified person he met through social media and who was living in the U.S. to take photographs of Bolton for a book he said he was writing.
The person introduced Poursafi to an associate that could take the requested photos and videos. After the two connected, Poursafi encouraged that person, who was actually a confidential source working with the FBI, to hire someone to kill Bolton and offered to pay $300,000 for the job. Poursafi told the person that he wanted “the guy” to be purged or eliminated.
Poursafi provided the person with Bolton's office address, including the name and contact information for someone who worked in the office, the FBI affidavit says.
“This was not an idle threat,” Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olsen, the Justice Department’s top national security official, said in a statement released by the department. “And this is not the first time we’ve uncovered brazen acts by Iran to exact revenge against individuals in the U.S."
In 2011, for instance, the FBI and Justice Department revealed an Iranian government plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the U.S. while the ambassador was in the U.S.
A spokesman for Iran’s foreign ministry, Nasser Kanaani, called the latest accusations baseless and politically motivated, state-run media reported.
He said Iran “reserves the right to take any action within the framework of international law to defend the rights of the government and citizens of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
In his own statement, Bolton thanked the FBI and Justice Department for their work in developing the case and the Secret Service for providing protection.
“While much cannot be said publicly right now, one point is indisputable: Iran’s rulers are liars, terrorists, and enemies of the United States,” he said.
The unsealing of the complaint comes two days after negotiators seeking to revive the Iran nuclear accord in Vienna closed on a “final text” of an agreement, with parties now consulting in their capitals on whether to agree to it it.
The 2015 deal granted Iran sanctions relief in exchange for tight curbs on its atomic program. Since the U.S. withdrew from the agreement under President Donald Trump, Iran has sped up its nuclear enrichment program. Bolton has been among the most hawkish critics of the deal and efforts by the Biden administration to rejoin it.
In his statement, Bolton said “Iran’s nuclear-weapons and terrorist activities are two sides of the same coin” and asserted that America re-entering the 2015 deal would be an "unparalleled self-inflicted wound, to ourselves and our closest Middle East allies."
The Justice Department described Poursafi as at-large abroad but did not elaborate on where he might be located. It is not clear when or if he will be taken into custody. He faces charges of using interstate commerce facilities in the commission of murder-for-hire and attempting to provide transnational support to a murder plot.
The Revolutionary Guard is a paramilitary organization formed in the wake of Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution to defend its clerically overseen government. The Quds Force is the Guard’s expeditionary unit, responsible for operations abroad.
Soleimani was the head of that force, and the Defense Department said at the time of the January 2020 strike that it killed him because he “was actively developing plans to attack American diplomats and service members in Iraq and throughout the region.”

DENVER, Colorado — For more than 30 years Bruce Goguen has been wheelchair-bound and that chair has become a more prominent lifeline over the years, as multiple sclerosis has continued to take away his mobility.
"When the only thing you can move is your head like that, every little thing is a big loss," Goguen said.
Disability advocacy has always been a big part of his life. He met his wife, Robin Bolduc, at a protest where they got arrested.
"Along the way we've always been involved in public policy, kind of core to our marriage I guess," Bolduc said.
As life has shown them how difficult it is to get Goguen's wheelchair repaired, they knew they needed to push for more permanent change. Historically, manufacturers of these chairs do not provide customers or independent repair shops with the parts, tools, software or paperwork needed to perform any repair services. The only way to get a problem fixed, is to go through them, and it can take weeks or months.
"When Bruce doesn't have a wheelchair he is in bed and because he's not moving it risks pneumonia and it risks of course red sores," Bolduc said. "Without the ability to repair Bruce's wheelchair, he could die. This isn't just a minor inconvenience."
This couple is a huge reason why Colorado has become the first state in the country to have a right-to-repair law but their powerful story certainly came at a cost.
"Bruce got their newest wheelchair and it did not work with his head control system so it was constantly breaking. So he was in and out of bed, lost all independence," Bolduc said. "And the frustrating part is the first time we had a major breakdown they decided it was a motor but they couldn't find a motor. This is like a national company probably an international company, for a brand new chair."
The companies that predominantly control the multibillion-dollar power-wheelchair industry are owned by private equity firms. Those wheelchair suppliers have contracts with health insurance plans and restrict access to repair materials. Disability advocates say companies often wait until Medicare or insurance companies approve repair claims before ordering necessary parts, which aren't always kept on hand. This law requires them to provide customers with the tools and information necessary to fix their chairs.
Julie Reiskin is the co-executive director of the Colorado cross-disability coalition. She's proud of the progress Colorado has made but says it won't mean much if other states don't follow suit.
"All of these companies they want to sell, they don't want to repair and we need the government to make more policies so that it is more attractive to repair than to sell," Reiskin said. "We're hoping that our attorney general will step up, he has a good record on consumer protection and we're hoping that he'll see our community as worthy of that protection."
She says they need to be held accountable for both providing the specs and information needed to repair a chair, but also by manufacturing the necessary parts.
"And the right to repair doesn't mean anything if a manufacturer in Ohio or wherever they are isn't producing parts," Bolduc said.
"What a lot of these companies do also is they will sell a chair and then they start changing stuff every year and then they will say oh now you need a new chair because we're not serving the parts anymore even though the chair is totally functional," Reiskin said. "If they are going to sell a chair, they need to continue to manufacture all of the parts for at least ten years."
When something needs to be fixed, there are few temporary options available for people who use a wheelchair.
"And for a lot of us that use what we call complex rehab, our chairs are made to our body specifications. So it's not like you can go rent a chair," Reiskin said.
Power wheelchair users have long been fighting for their right to repair. It's something that has infringed on their mobility for decades and they say still does in 49 states.
"Reminds me of something that...Herbert Humphreys said," Goguen said.
"So the test of a country and I'm paraphrasing, so the test of a country is how it treats its most vulnerable citizens," Bolduc said.
They say now is the time to change how those citizens are treated in this country and put lives before profit.
"This is a step to rectify the situation so that we're treated with dignity and respect," Bolduc said.
According to the state of Colorado website, usually, an owner of a powered wheelchair must seek diagnostic, maintenance, or repair services of the wheelchair from the manufacturer.
They say starting January 1, 2023, the act requires a manufacturer to provide parts, embedded software, firmware, tools, or documentation, such as diagnostic, maintenance, or repair manuals, diagrams, or similar information, to independent repair providers and owners of the manufacturer's powered wheelchairs to allow an independent repair provider or owner to conduct diagnostic, maintenance, or repair services on the owner's powered wheelchair.
A manufacturer's failure to comply with the requirement is a deceptive trade practice. In complying with the requirement to provide these resources, a manufacturer need not divulge any trade secrets to independent repair providers and owners. | https://www.wsfltv.com/news/national/advocates-of-nations-first-right-to-repair-wheelchair-law-pushing-other-states-to-follow-suit | 2022-08-11T00:44:51 | en | 0.98094 |
HBO – the home of popular dramas like “Game of Thrones” and critically acclaimed comedies like “Barry” – is owned by Warner Bros. In April, Warner Bros. merged with Discovery, Inc. – which produces lifestyle and reality shows like “Property Brothers” on HGTV and “90 Day Fiancé” on TLC.
In an earnings call in August, executives from the newly formed Warner Bros. Discovery announced they planned to merge the two networks’ streaming services, HBO Max and discovery+.
That announcement prompted rumors about what changes would be made on the new platform, including viral claims that the company was “ditching all the scripted content” on HBO Max in favor of the reality shows on discovery+. But are those fears founded?
THE QUESTION
Is HBO Max abandoning scripted content?
THE SOURCES
- Spokesperson for HBO Max
- Recording of Aug. 4, 2022 Warner Bros. Discovery earnings presentation
THE ANSWER
No, HBO Max is not abandoning scripted content.
WHAT WE FOUND
Executives for Warner Bros. Discovery announced the decision to merge HBO Max with discovery+ during an earnings presentation to investors on Aug. 4, 2022. The call outlined several long-term strategies for the company, including their plan to compete with the likes of Netflix and Disney+ in a crowded streaming market.
“At the end of the day, putting all the content together was really the only option we saw to making this a viable business,” said JB Perrette, the company’s head of streaming.
The executives said they weren’t sure what the new combined service would be called – meaning the “HBO Max” name could die – but the presentation made it clear the plan was for a platform that continues to offer both scripted and unscripted content, not one approach outright replacing the other.
One slide, for instance, described the HBO Max and discovery+ brands as “unique and complementary,” specifically highlighting how HBO Max content is scripted and discovery+ is unscripted, and how that attracts different pools of viewers.
Executives specifically addressed rumors of drastic change to HBO Max’s content on the call.
“There was some buzz today about HBO Max [that] we’re going to start doing less series…Our strategy is to embrace and support and drive the incredible success that HBO Max is having,” said Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav. ““HBO Max has never been hotter. Quality is what matters… We’re doubling down on that HBO team. They’re all committed under contract, and we’re going to spend dramatically more this year and next year than we spent last year and the year before.”
Perrette added, “I think it’s important given some of the noise… [to say] that HBO and the Max Originals remain the unequivocal home of the best premium television, and it remains the centerpiece of our combined streaming platform.”
VERIFY also reached out directly to Warner Bros. Discovery, and a spokesperson for HBO Max confirmed that “rumors about scripted content being ended are completely false.” | https://www.weareiowa.com/article/news/verify/business-verify/hbo-max-is-not-abandoning-scripted-content-discovery-plus/536-00a5d467-83d3-40a8-b34f-42aa46c8a224 | 2022-08-11T00:44:56 | en | 0.947588 |
