Falling gas prices gave Americans a slight break from the pain of high inflation last month, though the surge in overall prices slowed only modestly from the four-decade high it reached in June. Consumer prices jumped 8.5% in July compared with a year earlier, the government said Wednesday, down from a 9.1% year-over-year jump in June. On a monthly basis, prices were unchanged from June to July, the smallest such rise more than two years. Still, prices have risen across a wide range of goods and services, leaving most Americans worse off. Average paychecks are rising faster than they have in decades — but not fast enough to keep up with accelerating costs for such items as food, rent, autos and medical services.
Last month, excluding the volatile food and energy categories, so-called core prices rose just 0.3% from June, the smallest month-to-month increase since April. And compared with a year ago, core prices rose 5.9% in July, the same year-over-year increase as in June. President Joe Biden has pointed to declining gas prices as a sign that his policies — including large releases of oil from the nation's strategic reserve — are helping lessen the higher costs that have strained Americans' finances, particularly for lower-income Americans and Black and Hispanic households.
Yet Republicans are stressing the persistence of high inflation as a top issue in the midterm congressional elections, with polls showing that elevated prices have driven Biden's approval ratings down sharply. On Friday, the House is poised to give final congressional approval to a revived tax-and-climate package pushed by Biden and Democratic lawmakers. Economists say the measure, which its proponents have titled the Inflation Reduction Act, will have only a minimal effect on inflation over the next several years. While there are signs that inflation may ease in the coming months, it will likely remain far above the Federal Reserve's 2% annual target well into next year or even into 2024. Chair Jerome Powell has said the Fed needs to see a series of declining monthly core inflation readings before it would consider pausing its rate hikes. The Fed has raised its benchmark short-term rate at its past four rate-setting meetings, including a three-quarter point hike in both June and July — the first increases that large since 1994.
A blockbuster jobs report for July that the government issued Friday — with 528,000 jobs added, rising wages and an unemployment rate that matched a half-century low of 3.5% — solidified expectations that the Fed will announce yet another three-quarter-point hike when it next meets in September. Robust hiring tends to fuel inflation because it gives Americans more collective spending power. One positive sign, though, is that Americans' expectations for future inflation have fallen, according to a survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, likely reflecting the drop in gas prices that is highly visible to most consumers.
Inflation expectations can be self-fulfilling: If people believe inflation will stay high or worsen, they're likely to take steps — such as demanding higher pay — that can send prices higher in a self-perpetuating cycle. Companies then often raise prices to offset higher their higher labor costs. But the New York Fed survey found that Americans' foresee lower inflation one, three and five years from now than they did a month ago. Supply chain snarls are also loosening, with fewer ships moored off Southern California ports and shipping costs declining. Prices for commodities like corn, wheat and copper have fallen steeply. Yet in categories where price changes are stickier, such as rents, costs are still surging. One-third of Americans rent their homes, and higher rental costs are leaving many of them with less money to spend on other items.
Data from Bank of America, based on its customer accounts, shows that rent increases have fallen particularly hard on younger Americans. Average rent payments for so-called Generation Z renters (those born after 1996) jumped 16% in July from a year ago, while for baby boomers the increase was just 3%. Stubborn inflation isn't just a U.S. phenomenon. Prices have jumped in the United Kingdom, Europe and in less developed nations such as Argentina. In the U.K., inflation soared 9.4% in June from a year earlier, a four-decade high. In the 19 countries that use the euro currency, it reached 8.9% in June compared with a year earlier, the highest since record-keeping for the euro began. | https://www.newsgram.com/economy/2022/08/10/us-inflation-slips-from-40-year-peak-but-remains-high-at-85 | 2022-08-11T01:04:49 | en | 0.973278 |

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Homearama is returning to Norton Commons for a fifth time this fall.
The 2022 tour will include 10 homes that are near a park in The Hamlet — a 158-acre addition to Norton Common that extends into Oldham County.
This year's showcase, put on by the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville, will take place from Sept. 10-25. It runs from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on weekdays, on Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m., and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
All of the homes that are part of this year's Homearama have already been sold, according to developers, who say The Hamlet section is popular.
“When we announced The Hamlet a few years ago, the phone rang off the hook,” said Charles Osborn III, managing director of Norton Commons. “The lots are stunning and situated near a lake, fields, and mature wooded areas. The award-winning school district in Oldham County also has major appeal."
All 10 homes have state-of-the-art geothermal technology, which eliminates the need for outdoor air conditioning units. They also feature the latest trends in interior styles and smart home options.
“We are thrilled to be back at Norton Commons,” said Juva Barber, Executive Vice President of BIA. “This community consistently attracts the largest crowds to Homearama. There is nothing like it in the region.”
Parking is free at Homearama, and ticket gates will close a half-hour before closing time each day. To buy tickets, click here.

Asheboro man injured after shooting during a welfare check
One man is in the hospital after a shooting Wednesday evening following a welfare check in Asheboro, according to a news release from the Randolph County Sheriff's Office.
Deputies were called to a home on Cable Creek Road near Branchwater Road around 5 p.m. When they arrived, a man came out of his home with a firearm and then returned back into the house. According to the release, he then proceeded to run out of the back of the residence with the weapon.
While additional units responded, authorities established a perimeter.
Randolph Communications alerted nearby residents that the sheriff's office was searching for an armed subject in the area, also providing a description and warning to use caution.
Nearly an hour later, shots were fired and the man was injured after he encountered law enforcement while running back toward his residence. Deputies immediately rendered aid before he was transported to the hospital for treatment.
The sheriff's office has not confirmed if deputies or the man fired shots.
North Carolina's State Bureau of Investigation and district attorney's office have been made aware of the incident. SBI is currently on scene investigating.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Several local agencies and organizations met on Wednesday to talk about ways to improve Louisville's jail.
Several deaths of people housed at Metro Corrections and staff shortages have plagued the jail within the last year.
Wednesday, the "Louisville Coalition for Change Symposium" was held at the Muhammad Ali Center to look at the needs the jail is currently facing and ways to make things better.
Some spoke about ways a collaborative approach with community partnerships could create positive change at the jail.
There was also discussion about Louisville's justice system and alternative programs like the city's drug and mental health courts.
"Nothing that has been brought up today is outlandish," said Mariya Leyderman, executive chief psychologist at Metro Corrections. "It's all feasible, doable things that just involves people coming together. And so I would love to see us be able to come back and say 'Hey, on August 10, 2022, we said we were going to do this and here is where we've come and here are our next steps.'"
Organizers said they were pleased with the turnout at the symposium, and feel confident significant changes will be made.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Patrick O'Bryan's competitive baseball career seemingly ended after his freshman season at St. Xavier High School. But it was revived nine years ago when he joined the Kentuckiana Adult Baseball age 50-and-over league.
"I love to pitch," said O'Bryan. "I'm competitive and I just wanted to see if I could do it."
O'Bryan is still doing it at age 75 as a player/manager for the Blue Jays, playing some third base and outfield and yes, pitching.
"You put me on a pitcher's mound, I am at home," said O'Bryan. "I have a fastball, a slider, curveball and a changeup."
And apparently an arm that doesn't tire.
"It's a blessing from the Lord," O'Bryan claims. "I have a lot of nicknames. They call me 'old man.' They call me 'hey you.' They call me 'rubber arm.' They call me 'the freak.'"
"He keeps the ball in here," said catcher Mike Bodine waving his glove around the strike zone. "So he's easy on a catcher. "He'll want to take a lap during practice or something and he'll say 'Guys, do you want to take a lap with me' and we'll say 'Are you crazy?'"
And now the ultimate test for his arm and overall endurance. O'Bryan has gotten approval to attempt a Guinness World Record for most pitches thrown off a mound from 60 feet 6 inches in an eight hour period.
The current record was set three years ago by Southern Indiana native Matt Graf.
"Two thousand six hundred and thirty three pitches," said O'Bryan. "How on earth do you do that? How do you do that at 75 years old?"
Excellent question.
O'Bryan's quest will also be a fundraiser for the First Baptist Church of Fairdale. He's waiting until December 3rd because that's his 76th birthday and to allow more time to raise money.
"The church has a food pantry and they literally feed around a thousand people a week at their church," said O'Bryan. "Dare to Care delivers the food and they distribute it and they really need a building bad. I want to raise $100,000."
To break the record, O'Bryan will have to average about 330 pitches per hour.
"I think if I'm ready and I train properly all year long which I do anyway, I just might do it," he said.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A fear of attacks that had rippled through Muslim communities nationwide after the fatal shootings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque gave way to shock and sadness when it turned out the suspect in the killings is one of their own.
Muhammad Syed, 51, was arrested late Monday after a traffic stop more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) from his Albuquerque home. The Afghan immigrant denied any connection to the crimes that shook the city and its small Muslim community.
In court documents, in fact, he told police that he was so unnerved by the slayings that he was driving to Houston to find a new home for his family, which includes six children.
But investigators said they have ample evidence to prove his guilt, though they have yet to uncover the motive for the ambush-style killings, the first of which was in November and then three between July 26 and last Friday.
According to the criminal complaint, police determined that bullet casings found in Syed's vehicle matched the caliber of the weapons believed to have been used in two of the killings and that casings found at the crime scenes were linked to guns found at Syed's home and in his vehicle.
Of the more than 200 tips police received, it was one from the Muslim community that led them to the Syed family, authorities said, noting that Syed knew the victims and "an interpersonal conflict may have led to the shootings."
The news of Syed's arrest stunned Muslims in Albuquerque.
"I wanted a little closure for the community, as we saw it going out of hand and people were really panicking. But, I'll be honest with you, I was shocked," said Samia Assed, a community organizer and member of the Islamic Center of New Mexico. She said she did not want "these heinous crimes to be in any way, in any capacity used to divide a community."
Salim Ansari, president of the Afghan Society of New Mexico, said he felt relief at the news that an arrest had been made. But he was especially taken back because he knew Syed through social gatherings and was dumbfounded to learn the accusations against him and that court documents showed three domestic violence cases against the man.
"We never knew," he said.
Ansari said he first met Syed and the family when he was invited into their home in 2020 to tell them about the local Afghan community and the group that he heads. The couple ended up joining the society as members. As recently as last month, Syed and his family brought food and joined a potluck gathering, Ansari said.
"I don't know what happened," he said.
On Wednesday, Syed made his first court appearance during a virtual arraignment. He was shackled and in a jumpsuit that said "HIGH RISK" on the back. His case was transferred to state District Court, where a judge will consider a motion by prosecutors to keep him detained without bond pending trial.
"He is a very dangerous person, and the only way to protect the community is to hold the defendant in custody," prosecutors said in court documents.
Syed, through an interpreter, asked for permission to speak, but his attorney asked that the court not take any statements from him. He was not asked to enter a plea.
Syed has lived in the United States for about five years. When interviewed by detectives, Syed said he had been with the special forces in Afghanistan and fought against the Taliban, according to a criminal complaint filed late Tuesday.
Police said they were about to search Syed's Albuquerque home on Monday when they saw him drive away in a Volkswagen Jetta that investigators believe was used in at least one of the slayings.
In the complaint, authorities said a 9mm handgun was seized from his vehicle, and they found an AK-47-style rifle and a pistol of the same caliber at the family home while serving a search warrant. Syed bought the rifle and his son Shaheen Syed purchased the pistol at a local gun shop.
On Wednesday, Shaheen Syed was charged by federal prosecutors with providing a false Florida address when he bought two rifles last year. He has denied any role in the killings and has not been charged in connection with them. He and another brother were interviewed by police on Monday.
The first of the four people fatally shot was Mohammad Ahmadi, 62, an immigrant from from Afghanistan. Naeem Hussain, a 25-year-old man from Pakistan, was killed last Friday. His death came just days after those of Muhammad Afzaal Hussain, 27, and Aftab Hussein, 41, who were also from Pakistan and members of the same mosque.
Ehsan Chahalmi, the brother-in-law of Naeem Hussain, said he was "a generous, kind, giving, forgiving and loving soul that has been taken away from us forever."
Investigators consider Syed to be the primary suspect in the deaths of Naeem Hussain and Ahmadi but have not yet filed charges in those cases. Albuquerque police said Wednesday that as long as the suspect is detained, homicide detectives will not rush the case.
Police say they are looking at a number of possible motives. When asked at a news conference Tuesday if Muhammad Syed, a Sunni Muslim, was angry that his daughter married a Shiite Muslim, Deputy Police Cmdr. Kyle Hartsock did not respond directly. He said "motives are still being explored fully to understand what they are."
CNN interviewed Syed's daughter shortly before the announcement of his arrest. She said her husband was friends with two of the men who were killed. She also acknowledged her father initially was upset about her 2018 marriage but recently had been more accepting.
"My father is not a person who can kill somebody," the woman told CNN, which did not disclose her identity to protect her safety. "My father has always talked about peace. That's why we are here in the United States. We came from Afghanistan, from fighting, from shooting."
In 2017, a boyfriend of Syed's daughter reported to police that Syed, his wife and one of their sons had pulled him out of a car, punching and kicking him before driving away, according to court documents. The boyfriend, who was found with a bloody nose, scratches and bruises, told police that he was attacked because they did not want her in a relationship with him.
Syed was arrested in May 2018 after a fight with his wife turned violent, court documents said. Prosecutors said both cases were later dismissed after the victims declined to press charges. Syed also was arrested in 2020 after he was accused of refusing to pull over for police after running a traffic light, but that case was eventually dismissed, court documents said.
Former FBI profiler Mary Ellen O'Toole said the crimes Syed is suspected of carrying out fit the definition of a serial killer even though Albuquerque police have not classified him as such. She said serial killers often have red flags like domestic violence or sexual assaults in their past that precede the killings.
"People don't wake up one morning and just become a serial killer," she said. "We would go back and we would look at other crimes that were occurring in the area before the serial murders occurred. Because there's periods of time where they have to practice being violent. And that practice can begin at home."
O'Toole said motives for the four killings may have varied from victim to victim. O'Toole said she would want to know what prompted three killings in quick succession eight months after the first.
"This behavior that we're seeing in this case is cold-blooded, pre-meditated, and it involves hunting behavior – actually hunting human beings – which is probably as cold as it can get," she said.

Political leaders exchanged barbs over the high court bail to Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia on Wednesday.
Punjab former deputy chief minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, who was also the home minister when Majithia was booked in drugs case, accused the ruling Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of “not fighting the case properly even as Majithia accused the former Congress government of vendetta”. Randhawa alleged, “The AAP failed to contest the case. There is a motive. Do not forget how Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal had apologised to Majithia after the 2017 assembly elections. The AAP government’s softness towards Majithia is coming from there. Also, if you dig deeper, you will know why senior lawyer Anmol Rattan Singh Sidhu had resigned as Advocate General (AG). Today’s bail for Majithia is an embarrassment for the AAP government even as it points towards a quid pro quo.”
He said Majithia was alleging vendetta, but “he should know that he had applied for bail at the highest level of judiciary. Still he did not get it. What does he have to say about those judges. Was that also vendetta”?
Majithia, after coming out of Patiala jail, mocked at former CM Charanjit Singh Channi and said that he was booked during Channi’s regime. Channi could not form the government again and is not even seen in politics anymore. Without naming former PPCC chief Navjot Singh Sidhu, Majithia said, “He was my neighbour and was banging his head against the walls (of the jails).”

He said such “tortures on him meted out by previous government were not uncommon. God bless all those who prayed for
me”. On Randhawa’s allegations, AAP chief spokesperson Malvinder Singh Kang retorted, “I want to tell Randhawa sahib that bail to Majithia was honourable judge’s discretion. Majithia has spent six months in jail. He went to the Supreme Court, but he did not get it then. Now, he has got bail. Though the matter is sub judice as he has not been acquitted yet and is out only on bail, I would like to tell Randhawa that our law office is not working like him.
Bhagwan Mann government is very serious in handling drug-related cases.”
Meanwhile, SAD spokesperson Daljeet Singh Cheema called it a happy day for the entire cadre of Akali Dal. Cheema said, “The previous Congress government had lodged a false case against Majithia and even the present AAP government had used its entire machinery to further proceed this ‘false’ case. But we had full trust in judiciary. We are thankful to the Punjab and Haryana High Court for granting Majithia a regular bail. I extend warm wishes to the entire Akali Dal leadership. The day is not far when all the conspirators who were involved in getting the fake case registered against Majithia will get exposed.”
Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal, who is the elder sister of Majithia, posted a picture of her brother carrying the holy Guru Granth Sahib on his head with a message “Akal purakh da kotan koti Shukrana”.
Harsimrat Kaur Badal thanked God for bail to her brother. She said, “I am thankful to God that I don’t have to go to jail to tie rakhi on my brother’s wrist. He is out on bail.” In Gurdaspur, cadre of Youth Akali Dal distributed ‘ladoos’ and raised slogans in favour of Majithia saying that “Majithia will come out clean soon”. A large number of
Akali Dal cadre from across the state visited Patiala to give Majithia a grand welcome on his release from jail.
Hailing the granting of bail to Majithia, BJP national executive member Harjeet Singh Grewal said, “Majithia did not go underground when charges were levelled against him. Rather he surrendered himself, setting an example of a good citizen. He trusted the judiciary. And in future also, I am sure he will face the judiciary and come out clean. He must be congratulated for getting bail. He is a kind person. May God bless him.”

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann Wednesday announced setting up a Group of Ministers (GoM) for effective monitoring and control of the lumpy skin disease amongst animals in the state on a day-to-day basis.
Reviewing the situation while chairing a high-level meeting, the CM said that this GoM comprising Finance Minister Harpal Cheema, Agriculture Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal and Animal Husbandry Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar will be assisted by senior officers, experts of Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University and officers of
Animal Husbandry department. The GoM will review the situation arising out of the disease on a daily basis and take necessary action for checking it. The state government is duty-bound to safeguard the interests of the cattle owners,
he added.
Mann also announced the launch of a massive vaccination drive to save the animals from this disease. He said that the vaccination will be given to the animals free of cost adding that there is no dearth of funds for this. He claimed that the best recommended medicine by Government of India has been brought for this purpose.
The CM said that cattle wealth is an integral part of state’s economy and Punjab government will take every step for ensuring that animals don’t fell prey to this disease.

He said the state government has sealed the borders of the state for checking the entry of animals from other states into Punjab. The districts of Fazilka, Muktsar, Bathinda and Tarn Taran have been hitherto worst affected by the disease which reflects that the disease has been transmitted from other states.
Mann appealed to the cattle owners to exercise restraint and not get swayed away by rumours. He said that the state government is committed to tackling the spread of this disease. He urged the cattle owners to maintain cleanliness around the animals and segregate the cattle having any symptom of the disease.
The CM said that till the disease is not controlled, there will be a complete ban on organising any cattle fair in the state. He said that the animal husbandry department has been asked to supply doses of calcium to animals for enhancing their immunity. The department has also been directed to ensure spray for killing mosquitoes which can be carrier of this disease.
Mann urged the owners to ensure vaccination to their respective cattle as it also enhances immunity to fight the disease. He said that to ensure proper burial of dead animals, Deputy Commissioners have been directed to ensure requisite arrangements.

In Haryana Assembly, a few Congress MLAs Wednesday succeeded to stall a proposal of Haryana government aimed at reducing the powers of State Police Complaint Authority—which probes into allegations of serious misconduct against the police personnel.
The Haryana government had tabled The Haryana Police (Amendment) Bill, 2022, which had the provision to take away the powers of “suo motu” from the authority. After strong objections by the Congress legislators, the government agreed to accept their demand to refer the matter to the Select Committee of the House. As soon as the Bill was tabled in the Assembly, Congress MLA Varun Chaudhary took the lead to strongly object to the Bill terming it an attempt to reduce the powers of the State Police Complaint Authority. Varun Chaudhary said: “The authority can take cognizance of any matter by taking a suo motu but now that power is being taken away. Why is this being done?”
Chaudhary further said: “How many complaints are filed against the policemen? The people remain under pressure. Who will lodge a complaint against a policeman? Why is it necessary to reduce the jurisdiction of authority in a way that it won’t be able to inquire by taking a suo-moto? It’s jurisdiction should be expanded in place of reducing it.” The Congress legislator also reminded how the Authority was set up after great difficulty.
In an attempt to justify the government’s move, state home minister Anil Vij said that someone should be a complainant in the matter. Anil Vij said: “I myself refer several cases to the Authority after hearing complaints of the people.” But Varun Chaudhary insisted that even the High Court and Supreme has powers to take suo-moto. “What is the harm if the Authority has powers to take suo-moto?” said Chaudhary demanding that the Bill should be deferred for the time-being.

On his part, the Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar said: “There are limitations for everyone. If we offer unlimited powers to anyone, it would have a lot of repercussions. For example, a lot of videos are shared on social media. If anyone takes a suo moto on it and keeps it pending for a long time? The state government has formed the Authority while the judiciary is a different thing.”
The Chief Minister further said: “We are not giving any powers to the Authority in the matters of attempt to rape.
The powers are being given only in the cases of rape. Attempt to rape is such a subject…for this (crime) there is no such evidence like the rape.”
Amid objections of the Congress MLAs, Manohar Lal Khattar insisted: “We are not trying to protect anyone but unlimited powers should not be given to anyone. Even the House doesn’t have (unlimited powers). When we (legislators) pass any resolution, it goes to the Governor, it is studied there and then it is signed. If the (Governor) doesn’t sign it, then the matter goes to the President. So, the unlimited powers should not be given to the (Authority too).”
However, Varun Chaudhary said: “The Authority has only to investigate, it does not have to pronounce punishment. It is a mere recommendatory body. Why is the body being prevented from investigation too…. Many don’t give complaints against the police. The Bill should be deferred.”
The Congress MLA said: “Let the home minister state how many cases came before the Authority and how many
investigations were done. With Congress legislators Geeta Bhukkal and Aftab Ahmed too objecting to the provisions of the Bill, Congress MLA Jagbir Malik said that they want that the Bill be referred to the House select committee.”
Dushyant Chautala–while referring to objections raised by opposition members stated that the Bill be referred to Select Committee and then it can be taken up in next session. After this, Vij proposed that the Haryana Police (Amendment) Bill, 2022 be referred to the select committee. When this entire episode took place, top leaders of the Opposition including Bhupinder Singh Hooda and Abhay Singh Chautala were not present in the House.

TellyChakkar got in touch with Vijayendra who spoke in length about his shooting experience for Mose Chhal Kiye Jaaye, his differences with the makers and more.
MUMBAI: Vijayendra Kumeria is one of the most popular names in the television world.
The actor has been a part of the TV industry for a very long time and has managed to establish a name for himself in the showbiz.
Vijayendra won several hearts with his amazing performance in Sony TV's show Mose Chhal Kiye Jaaye.
The actor was playing the role of a producer in the show and his character's name was Armaan Oberoi.
Vijayendra was seen in a very different avatar in the show and was paired opposite actress Vidhi Pandya.
The duo has worked together in Colors' show Udaan.
Vijayendra is being lauded for his performance in the show as fans are in love with his mature acting and the way he has taken his character a notch higher with time.
TellyChakkar got in touch with Vijayendra who spoke in length about his shooting experience for Mose Chhal Kiye Jaaye, his difference with makers and more.
Tell us how it was shooting for Mose Chhal Kiye Jaaye:
Nice, I am content. The character was challenging to me indeed. I wanted that people should like my flawed character and they indeed loved it. I enjoyed it thoroughly and something different and not monotonous at all.
Initially, the character was not that grey but ultimately, we saw it turned grey shade only so what is your take on this?
Well, I would say that I have never denied that it is not a grey shade character, but I had always said it is an anti-hero where I am the hero. I had conditioned my mind to put in the conviction accordingly. But yes, there was a change because the makers decided and the character was liked by all despite having flaws and did a lot of balancing things with the rest of the roles as well. But I take it in my pride, did all the level best and on top of it, I did not receive any negative comments for the role so that makes me happy.
Did you have disagreements with the makers for the development of your character?
So, when things were changing I had discussions with the makers so they gave me genuine reasons with respect to channel and content demands. Therefore, as an actor, my job is to deliver what is demanded with all balancing acts in a smarter way. There was no fear in my mind of getting stereotyped.
Well said, Vijayendra!

The issue of increasing drug-menace across Haryana’s various districts rocked House on last day of Haryana Vidhan Sabha’s monsoon session on Wednesday. The issue was raised in a Calling attention motion moved by INLD’s MLA Abhay Chautala and several other opposition MLAs who attacked the ruling BJP-JJP coalition pointing out figures indicating multi-fold increase in cases of drug-abuse across all districts.
Citing the figures of 2021, Abhay Chautala said, “In 2021, approximately 95863 persons reported at the OPD meant to treat drug-patients. Of these, 28283 were women. Of all these people who visited OPDs, 2765 were admitted. At least 11 districts including Sirsa, Hisar, Fatehabad, Rohtak, Ambala, Karnal, Kurukshetra, Panipat, Sonipat, Panchkula and Nuh have become drug-dens. I had written a letter to chief minister in 2019 apprising him in detail about the drug-trafficking across Haryana. Till date, I had not received any reply on that. NCRB’s data reveal that from 2014 till date, 329 persons have died due to drugs in Haryana. In the last one year, 33 people have lost their lives only in Sirsa. All these deceased were 18-30 year old”.
Abhay also demanded that the state government should give the independent charge of the Narcotics Control Bureau to an IPS officer. He also pointed out that 178 posts are yet lying vacant in Haryana Narcotics Control Bureau. Abhay also mentioned about a factory in Yamunanagar and alleged that party-drugs were being manufactured in that factory.
Replying to the issues raised by opposition MLAs, home-cum-health minister Anil Vij said, “Haryana State Narcotics Control Bureau set up in August 2020 has imparted training to the Investigating Officers of all districts Anti-Narcotics Cells as well as Investigating Officers of the Bureau regarding seizure of property of culprits under NDPS Act and PIT NDPS Act. As a result of which, properties worth Rs. 25,09,21,300.48 have been attached and seizure of property worth Rs. 6,82,94,967.89 is under process”.

Admitting that government was aware of problem of drug-trafficking and drug-abuse, Vij said, “We are addressing the problem with a three-pronged strategy of reduction in the supply of narcotic substances, illicit drugs, dependence on drug management; treatment and rehabilitation of drug addicts; drug abuse prevention/demand reduction”.

The last session of the 13th Vidhan Sabha began on Wednesday amid calls for no confidence by the Opposition. The House paid homage to four former MLAs.
The session began with Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur paying condolence to the four former MLAs — Sukh Ram, Praveen Sharma, Mastram and Roop Singh Chauhan. The CM said that the leaders had contributed toward the development of the state during their tenures. The Opposition leaders hailed Sukh Ram, who served as IT minister during Narasimha Rao government, as a visionary who worked tirelessly for the people of Mandi.
Congress Leader of Opposition Mukesh Agnihotri demanded a no-confidence motion against the government. The Opposition
alleged that the government machinery failed to function and that the mandate of development was not upheld. The ruling party argued that the Congress demand was an effort to divert attention and that they had the numbers to pass the floor test.
The Speaker adjourned the House briefly following aggressive sloganeering by both parties. After the session resumed, the Speaker gave time on Thursday for a debate on the no-confidence motion. The BJP reiterated that with the requiste numbers, they will not face an issue in passing the floor test.

Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar Wednesday insisted that as per Supreme Court’s directions, the mutation of the Shamlat deh (common land) in the name of panchayats is not a cause of worry as “the process is aimed at stopping the illegal transfer of Shamlat land”.
However, in the Assembly, former Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda opposed the idea stating the mutations in the name of panchayats at this stage will cause problems and quarrels in the villages. In June this year, the state government had ordered immediate closure of all the ongoing cases/litigation pending in various revenue courts across the state or civil courts or even in the Punjab and Haryana High Court pertaining to “shamlat land”.
The orders have far-reaching consequences as thousands of acres of common land (shamlat-deh) in Haryana sold off by shareholders or gram panchayat for monetary gains would now get freed with the owners being ousted following a Supreme Court order. The shamlat-deh land is reserved and used for common purposes. Farmer bodies have already urged
the Haryana government to amend the Punjab Village Common Land (Regulation) Act, 1961, to give ownership rights to farmers who are cultivating shamlat-deh land (common land) for the past several decades. In the Assembly too, a section of Congress MLAs raised this issue while demanding the farmers be allowed to continue cultivating the land as they are dependent on the same for the past many years.

In an advisory issued by Punjab state vet varsity Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU), Ludhiana, experts said that lumpy skin disease (LSD) is a viral disease caused by Capripox virus.
It is transmitted by arthropod vectors such as mosquitoes, biting flies and ticks. The disease was endemic in Africa, but in the last two-three years, after entrapping the southern states of India, an outbreak/ epidemic of LSD has spread to Punjab and other states of northern India. The disease occurs mostly in cows and somewhat less in
buffaloes.
Dr Ashwani Kumar, HoD, Veterinary Medicine, GADVASU, said that the disease is characterised initially by fever followed by development of cutaneous nodules (2-5 cm) all over the body. In some animals, lesions may involve mouth, pharynx and respiratory tract, and may cause pneumonia, enlarged lymph nodes, edema of limbs or brisket region. Many infected animals usually recover but there is a reduction in milk yield in lactating cows for several weeks. The morbidity rate is usually upto 50% and mortality rate is usually around 1-5%.
Dr Ashwani shared tips about treatment and said that many of the affected animals can be managed/ cured with commercially available antipyretics like vetalgin, meloxicam, ketoprofen etc. Application of antiseptic ointment with fly-repellent properties may be applied over the skin.

Affected animals should be treated at the farm itself; they should not be transported to hospitals or polyclinics, as high fever/ hyperthermia often develops due to high environmental temperature and humidity. He also described prevention measures.

The rescue teams searching for the two-and-a-half-year-old boy who fell and was trapped inside a rainwater drain in the Shalamar Garden area of Kapurthala city Tuesday did not make any headway even after 30 hours. Deputy Commissioner Vishesh Sarangal said that the rescue teams of Army and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) personnel searched the entire drain and removed the garbage and slush to find him.
Due to a strong prediction of rain in Kapurthala Wednesday night, the teams were installing a wire mesh at every 10 feet of the drain to ensure that the boy is not flushed further by a heavy water flow in the drain.
The DC said that the rescue operation will continue till the boy is found. The boy — identified as Dehaan — slipped into the 10-foot-deep drain while crossing the drain through a concrete slab, which was kept over five feet wide to cross over.
The rescue teams dismantled the entire covered part of the drain near the spot of the incident assuming that the boy might be stuck somewhere in between but did not find him.

It is also learnt that the NDRF team may move the rescue operation ahead of the mishap spot now as the boy might have flushed with water towards a tributary close to the drain.
The five-year-old sister of the boy was accompanying him and she raised the alarm. After learning it, his mother, who was nearby, jumped into the drain to save her son but she could not find him and the locals pulled her out.

The PSEB Engineers Association demanded the merger of Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) and Punjab State Transmission Corporation Limited (PSTCL) in a press release on Wednesday. The body which consists of around 2,000 engineers working under PSPCL and PSTCL demanded the merger for efficiency and coordination.
In the press release, the association said that it that the government is considering making the Chairman Cum Managing Director (CMD) of one corporation a member of the other and vice versa in the name of coordination. It said is not acceptable at all and that by including more power centres on the Board of Directors (BOD) is against the
interests of PSPCL and PSTCL.
The board of directors (BOD) of the merged corporation should be formed purely on professional competency instead of incorporating officers in their official capacity, the association said. The association has demanded withholding any move that would change the structure of the BOD to bureaucratic and has written to the Punjab chief minister on this issue and has sought an urgent meeting for detailed discussion on this issue. Association General Secretary
Ajay Pal Singh Atwal said that they are of the view that such a top-heavy BOD will only do more harm than give any positive impetus.

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader Bikram Singh Majithia was given a hero’s welcome as he came out of Patiala jail after getting bail from high court on Wednesday.
A large number of Youth Akali Dal cadre was seen outside the Patiala jail to welcome him.
After coming out of the jail, Majithia said, “Governments commit atrocities, but those who did cannot be seen now.
Where is that CM (Charanjit Singh Channi)? He has disappeared altogether. Why is he not coming from America now? And the other one was my own neighbour in Amritsar (Navjot Singh Sidhu). Conspiracy against me was on since December last year. For two months, I remained in and out and finally I surrendered in February. Finally, God has done justice. I thank all who prayed for me.”
He said, “I have a message for the Opposition. Politics should not be used to settle scores. However, I still thank my political opponents who conspired against me. They changed three DGPs to book me.”

Majithia went to gurdwara to pray after he got bail and said that he was thankful to the gurus who made him stay strong. He also thanked his legal team and said that he had full faith in the judiciary. Majithia said that he was missing his kids like anything and was waiting to meet them along with other family members.
Meanwhile, in a statement, SAD said that the party’s faith in the judiciary has been reaffirmed by the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s decision to grant bail to Majithia.
A SAD release here said that “the order lays bare the evil designs of the previous Congress government as well as efforts by the present AAP dispensation to implicate Majithia in a false case”.
The SAD said the fact that the high court had stated that evidence against Majithia was “frail and not credible” vindicated the stand taken by the party that a conspiracy was hatched to implicate him in a false drug case.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A fear of attacks that had rippled through Muslim communities nationwide after the fatal shootings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque gave way to shock and sadness when it turned out the suspect in the killings is one of their own.
Muhammad Syed, 51, was arrested late Monday after a traffic stop more than 100 miles (160 kilometers) from his Albuquerque home. The Afghan immigrant denied any connection to the crimes that shook the city and its small Muslim community.
In court documents, in fact, he told police that he was so unnerved by the slayings that he was driving to Houston to find a new home for his family, which includes six children.
But investigators said they have ample evidence to prove his guilt, though they have yet to uncover the motive for the ambush-style killings, the first of which was in November and then three between July 26 and last Friday.
According to the criminal complaint, police determined that bullet casings found in Syed's vehicle matched the caliber of the weapons believed to have been used in two of the killings and that casings found at the crime scenes were linked to guns found at Syed's home and in his vehicle.
Of the more than 200 tips police received, it was one from the Muslim community that led them to the Syed family, authorities said, noting that Syed knew the victims and "an interpersonal conflict may have led to the shootings."
The news of Syed's arrest stunned Muslims in Albuquerque.
"I wanted a little closure for the community, as we saw it going out of hand and people were really panicking. But, I'll be honest with you, I was shocked," said Samia Assed, a community organizer and member of the Islamic Center of New Mexico. She said she did not want "these heinous crimes to be in any way, in any capacity used to divide a community."
Salim Ansari, president of the Afghan Society of New Mexico, said he felt relief at the news that an arrest had been made. But he was especially taken back because he knew Syed through social gatherings and was dumbfounded to learn the accusations against him and that court documents showed three domestic violence cases against the man.
"We never knew," he said.
Ansari said he first met Syed and the family when he was invited into their home in 2020 to tell them about the local Afghan community and the group that he heads. The couple ended up joining the society as members. As recently as last month, Syed and his family brought food and joined a potluck gathering, Ansari said.
"I don't know what happened," he said.
On Wednesday, Syed made his first court appearance during a virtual arraignment. He was shackled and in a jumpsuit that said "HIGH RISK" on the back. His case was transferred to state District Court, where a judge will consider a motion by prosecutors to keep him detained without bond pending trial.
"He is a very dangerous person, and the only way to protect the community is to hold the defendant in custody," prosecutors said in court documents.
Syed, through an interpreter, asked for permission to speak, but his attorney asked that the court not take any statements from him. He was not asked to enter a plea.
Syed has lived in the United States for about five years. When interviewed by detectives, Syed said he had been with the special forces in Afghanistan and fought against the Taliban, according to a criminal complaint filed late Tuesday.
Police said they were about to search Syed's Albuquerque home on Monday when they saw him drive away in a Volkswagen Jetta that investigators believe was used in at least one of the slayings.
In the complaint, authorities said a 9mm handgun was seized from his vehicle, and they found an AK-47-style rifle and a pistol of the same caliber at the family home while serving a search warrant. Syed bought the rifle and his son Shaheen Syed purchased the pistol at a local gun shop.
On Wednesday, Shaheen Syed was charged by federal prosecutors with providing a false Florida address when he bought two rifles last year. He has denied any role in the killings and has not been charged in connection with them. He and another brother were interviewed by police on Monday.
The first of the four people fatally shot was Mohammad Ahmadi, 62, an immigrant from from Afghanistan. Naeem Hussain, a 25-year-old man from Pakistan, was killed last Friday. His death came just days after those of Muhammad Afzaal Hussain, 27, and Aftab Hussein, 41, who were also from Pakistan and members of the same mosque.
Ehsan Chahalmi, the brother-in-law of Naeem Hussain, said he was "a generous, kind, giving, forgiving and loving soul that has been taken away from us forever."
Investigators consider Syed to be the primary suspect in the deaths of Naeem Hussain and Ahmadi but have not yet filed charges in those cases. Albuquerque police said Wednesday that as long as the suspect is detained, homicide detectives will not rush the case.
Police say they are looking at a number of possible motives. When asked at a news conference Tuesday if Muhammad Syed, a Sunni Muslim, was angry that his daughter married a Shiite Muslim, Deputy Police Cmdr. Kyle Hartsock did not respond directly. He said "motives are still being explored fully to understand what they are."
CNN interviewed Syed's daughter shortly before the announcement of his arrest. She said her husband was friends with two of the men who were killed. She also acknowledged her father initially was upset about her 2018 marriage but recently had been more accepting.
"My father is not a person who can kill somebody," the woman told CNN, which did not disclose her identity to protect her safety. "My father has always talked about peace. That's why we are here in the United States. We came from Afghanistan, from fighting, from shooting."
In 2017, a boyfriend of Syed's daughter reported to police that Syed, his wife and one of their sons had pulled him out of a car, punching and kicking him before driving away, according to court documents. The boyfriend, who was found with a bloody nose, scratches and bruises, told police that he was attacked because they did not want her in a relationship with him.
Syed was arrested in May 2018 after a fight with his wife turned violent, court documents said. Prosecutors said both cases were later dismissed after the victims declined to press charges. Syed also was arrested in 2020 after he was accused of refusing to pull over for police after running a traffic light, but that case was eventually dismissed, court documents said.
Former FBI profiler Mary Ellen O'Toole said the crimes Syed is suspected of carrying out fit the definition of a serial killer even though Albuquerque police have not classified him as such. She said serial killers often have red flags like domestic violence or sexual assaults in their past that precede the killings.
"People don't wake up one morning and just become a serial killer," she said. "We would go back and we would look at other crimes that were occurring in the area before the serial murders occurred. Because there's periods of time where they have to practice being violent. And that practice can begin at home."
O'Toole said motives for the four killings may have varied from victim to victim. O'Toole said she would want to know what prompted three killings in quick succession eight months after the first.
"This behavior that we're seeing in this case is cold-blooded, pre-meditated, and it involves hunting behavior – actually hunting human beings – which is probably as cold as it can get," she said.

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.
Oprah's trademarks, in some cases, date back to 1992. | https://www.wtxl.com/news/national/oprah-winfreys-company-sues-podcast-over-oprahdemics-name-representations | 2022-08-11T01:13:12 | en | 0.944404 |

Army names Ranger candidates killed by falling tree during mountain training
FORT BENNING, Ga. - The U.S. Army identified two soldiers killed by a falling tree on Tuesday in north Georgia.
Officials said Army Ranger candidates 2nd Lt. Evan Fitzgibbon and Staff Sgt. George Taber died during a weather-induced training hold at Yonah Mountain outside of Dahlonega. Both soldiers were pronounced dead at a hospital.
Three other soldiers were injured. Two were treated for injuries that weren't considered life-threatening while another is hospitalized in stable condition.

The Army said Fitzgibbon was a West Point graduate, commissioned in May 2021. He was assigned to the Infantry Basic Officer Leader Course, 199th Infantry "Leader Brigade" at Fort Benning.
Fitzgibbon spoke with the Orange Observer his senior year at Foundation Academy in Winter Garden just after receiving his Certificate of Appointment to West Point. He talked about how prepared to be part of only 10% of applicants accepted to the United States' oldest military academy.
He had joined football team, making team captain his senior year. He joined the Civil Air Patrol, an auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force, and worked his way up through the ranks, even earning the Billy Mitchell Award, given to Civil Air Patrol cadets who complete the second phase of the cadet program. He would earn the rank of commander before leaving for New York.
Taber, 30, enlisted in March 2017 and was assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida. His commander and battalion leader shared their grief on social media.
"We are extremely saddened by the loss of Staff Sgt. George Taber. We extend our sincerest condolences to his family, friends and teammates," Col. Kevin Trujillo, 7th Special Forces Group commander, said. "He was an exemplary Soldier and Green Beret and he will be sorely missed."

"Our battalion is devastated by the loss of our teammate. Staff Sgt. Taber was an outstanding Soldier and a model Green Beret," Lt. Col. Brockton Hershberger, 2nd Battalion commander, said. "Our top priority is to support his family in any way we can."

Customers of some new GM cars will be forced to buy OnStar
FOX 2 - General Motors is bumping up the sticker price on many of its new vehicles adding a mandatory OnStar subscription, whether you want it or not.
This equipment is on new Buicks, Cadillacs, and GMC vehicles. And on Wednesday GM said you have to take it for $1,500.
"It's just like buying a car with seats and a steering wheel, you have to take this equipment," said John McElroy, auto analyst WWJ 950. "They're listing it as an option. And people are going 'I don't want to buy it.' Too bad."
But this just doesn't seem like an "option" but you do get a lot of technology...
"OnStar does a whole bunch of different things," McElroy said. "It will give you navigation staff, track your car if it gets stolen so the police can find it. It will give you all kinds of other different services, like a health checkup on your car, like tell you when you need an oil change or things like that."
And your car becomes a Wi-Fi hotspot. So the $1,500 will be tacked on to the purchase price which gets you three years of access to OnStar- and then, after the three years, you start paying monthly or the device will be dropped.
McElroy says GM is doing this because, at some point, car sales are going to stop growing. So how does a car company continue to grow its top line? Sell services.
"In fact, GM thinks that people will pay $135 a month above their car payment get all the services," he said. "And that turns out to be $10 billion a year."
With an 80 percent profit margin versus 8 percent for selling cars, look for other car companies to do the same.
But what's been the reaction charging for the mandatory OnStar option?
"Most of the reporting is negative," McElroy said. "I haven't seen anything that goes, 'Woo-hoo they're charging more." | https://www.fox29.com/news/customers-of-some-new-gm-cars-will-be-forced-to-buy-onstar | 2022-08-11T01:15:16 | en | 0.977688 |
Disney+ to increase prices with new ad-supported subscription
BURBANK, Calif. - Walt Disney Co. said Wednesday it is raising prices for streaming subscribers in the U.S. who want to watch Disney+ without ads, as more viewers switch to what CEO Bob Chapek described as the "best value in streaming."
The price increases are tied to a new tiered service Disney will launch in December for U.S. subscribers. The basic Disney+ service today costs $7.99 per month. Starting in December, that basic service will run ads, so a subscriber who wants no ads will have to upgrade to a premium service that starts at $10.99 per month, a 37.5% rise over current prices. An annual plan will cost $109.99.
"We expect the ad tier to be popular and we expect some people to want to stay with ad-free," Chief Financial Officer Christine McCarthy said on a conference call with analysts.

Netflix’s most popular streaming plan in the U.S. is now $15.50 per month, and its top-of-the-line plan is $20 per month. That follows several rate hikes to help pay for its original programming, which has become even more important since Disney pulled its programming and classic movies from Netflix after licensing agreements between the companies expired.
Disney said it added 14.4 million subscribers to its Disney+ streaming service in the April-June fiscal quarter. In total, subscribers to all Disney streaming services, which include Hulu and ESPN+, amounted to about 221 million, putting the entertainment giant slightly ahead of Netflix in the streaming wars.
Netflix ended June with 220.7 million subscribers after losing nearly 1 million subscribers in the past quarter.
Disney said paid subscriptions for Disney+ grew by 31%, much of that internationally, over the same time last year. But revenue growth was not as strong due to operating losses from "higher programming and production, technology and marketing costs."
Disney’s growing streaming sales, combined with a recovering theme park business after pandemic-era shutdowns, led the Burbank, California-based entertainment giant to beat Wall Street expectations with quarterly earnings Wednesday.

Disney reported revenue of $21.5 billion in the three months through July 2, up 26% from the same time last year.
Earnings per share came to $1.09 when excluding certain items. Analysts polled by FactSet projected adjusted earnings of 97 cents per share on revenue of $20.99 billion for the quarter, according to FactSet Research.
Disney said sales at its parks, experiences and products segment grew to $7.39 billion, up 70% from $4.34 billion a year earlier. The numbers represented an ongoing comeback from COVID-19 restrictions that temporarily shuttered all of Disney’s parks in 2020, reduced capacity through much of 2021 and have continued to affect some locations such as Shanghai Disneyland, which was open for just three days in the April-June quarter. | https://www.fox29.com/news/disney-hulu-see-price-hikes-with-new-ad-supported-subscriptions | 2022-08-11T01:15:22 | en | 0.960368 |
Domino's Pizza to close all locations in Italy after 7 years: report
It appears that Domino’s Pizza, Inc. has called it quits in Italy.
The American multinational fast food pizza chain is reportedly shutting down its remaining locations in the world’s pizza capital after seven years of operation, according to Bloomberg News.
Domino’s partnered with ePizza SpA, a national restaurant franchise company, to bring affordable American-style pizza to the European country.

However, the company’s goal of opening 880 locations in Italy did not work out in face of the many thriving pizza businesses owned by locals, Bloomberg reports.
Bloomberg also reports that Domino’s hadn’t reached its original goal and has now shuttered the 29 locations that remained standing after the failed expansion.
The stores that appear on the delivery and takeaway location finder on the Domino’s Italia website feature a red-labeled message that states online ordering is currently unavailable.
This message has been applied to more than a dozen locations that are spread out across Rome, Verona, Monza, Torino, Parma and Vincenza.

FOX Business reached out to Domino’s for comment.
In July 2022, the Michigan-based pizza company noted in its Q2 2022 Financial Results that international same-store sales declined by 2.2%, excluding foreign currency impact.
Prior to the Domino’s shutdown, insiders at ePizza SpA said that they believe competition from local mom-and-pop restaurants and the rise of food delivery presented challenges for the American chain, which was noted in the franchisor’s fourth-quarter earnings report from last year, Bloomberg reports.

Non-pizza-focused American fast food chains have seen some success, however, including McDonald’s, Burger King and Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Pizza is known to many as a staple dish in Italian cuisine. The sauce-covered and cheesy flatbread can be traced back to the Neapolitan Middle Ages, according to Encyclopedia.com.
Italy has an estimated 63,000 pizzerias, according to an article published by Italy Segreta – a monthly lifestyle magazine focused on Italian food and travel.
