Collaboration with foreign companies is intrinsic to becoming 'atmanirbhar' in defence production: Army Chief
- Country:
- India
Collaboration with foreign companies is intrinsic to India's ambition of becoming 'atmanirbhar' (self-reliant) in defence production and the relationship with them is now of co-development and co-production, Army Chief Gen Manoj Pande said on Thursday.
The geostrategic security environment has witnessed significant changes in recent times, leading to a recalibration of the established world order, he said in his speech at an event at the industry body FICCI.
''India's security concerns emanating from the geopolitical dynamics at both -- global as well as the regional level. These include the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict as well as the instability and the political uncertainty that we see in our immediate neighbourhood,'' he said.
The contemporary security environment and the changing character of war require that the Indian armed forces must be prepared to handle a wide spectrum of challenges in conventional and sub-conventional domains, the Army Chief noted.
Undoubtedly, our interests are best served by being atmanirbhar, especially in defence production, he stated.
Self-reliance is one of the key factors on which the military capability of any nation rests, he said.
There are new opportunities for ''our foreign partners'' and Atmanirbharta (self-reliance) is not only about isolating ourselves from the world, but he also noted.
It is about self-sustaining and pursuing policies that promote efficiency, quality and resilience, Pande added.
''It has been unequivocally stated that collaboration with foreign OEMs (original equipment manufacturers) is intrinsic to our aim of Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India), and we have moved from our relationship of a buyer and a seller to the one of co-development and co-production with our foreign partners,'' he said. And the ongoing reforms in the defence sector offer opportunities to the foreign OEMs to partner with Indian companies and work towards our shared objectives, he said. There is huge potential for export which can also contribute to the vision of our Prime Minister to become a USD 5 trillion economy in the foreseeable future, Pande added.
A holistic, all-encompassing, well-calibrated, multi-pronged, and futuristic approach to defence production is fundamental to safeguarding our national interests, he mentioned.
A pragmatic and actionable indigenous defence production strategy would ensure a secure and sustained supply of armaments and ammunitions to cater for our national security needs, the Army Chief said. Since independence, significant experience, skills, technologies and competencies have even been acquired by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), the erstwhile ordnance factories and the defence public sector companies, he said. ''I believe these offer the foundation to build new capabilities by sharing this expertise with the private sector, including the startups and the MSMEs. Much work is underway in this direction. And I think there is more scope for greater synergy and handholding,'' he stated. This would lead to evolving a more cooperative and collaborative framework involving all the stakeholders, which will reduce the dependence on the import of ammunition and provide the required impetus to indigenous production, he noted.

NCB seizes 190 kg high-quality ganja worth Rs 4 crore in Thane; 4 held
- Country:
- India
The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has seized 190 kg of high-quality ganja, estimated to be worth Rs 4 crore, and arrested four alleged drug traffickers after carrying out an operation in the adjoining Thane district, an official said on Thursday.
Acting on specific information, a team of the NCB Mumbai zonal unit laid a trap at Padgha in Bhiwandi town on the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday and stopped two vehicles laden with goods, he said.
NCB personnel questioned the drivers about the goods inside their vehicles, but they did not give satisfactory replies, the official said.
The drug law enforcement agency's team then conducted a thorough search of the two vehicles and found 190 kg of high-quality ganja (cannabis), estimated to be worth Rs 4 crore, carefully concealed among non-suspecting goods alongside the cavity, he said.
The drug consignment was seized and four persons were apprehended, the official said.
During interrogation, the quartet allegedly revealed they were in the business of drug trafficking for the last five years, he said.
The accused persons were on the radar of the anti-drug agency for quite some time, but had been evading arrest by using various methods like frequently changing mobile phones and also vehicles used to transport narcotics, the official said.
The seized drug was sourced from the Andhra Pradesh-Odisha border area and was be delivered in Mumbai and to multiple peddlers in adjoining areas, he said, adding a probe was underway.

NEW YORK, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading, international nonprofit design studio, IDEO.org today announces Shauna Carey as its Chief Executive Officer. A social scientist at heart and a design leader in practice, Carey has worked on programs that advance health equity, criminal justice reform, refugee rights and gender equality.
Janiece Evans-Page, Governance Chair on IDEO.org's Board of Directors and CEO of Tides says:
"Over the last nine years, Shauna has served in a number of leadership roles at IDEO.org from design, and program leadership to strategy, and communications. In her most recent role as Interim CEO, she has done an incredible job of providing continuity and stability for IDEO.org. She has demonstrated the experience and expertise needed to lead IDEO.org into its second decade of design and impact. I and the Board of Directors have full confidence in her vision and leadership."
Stepping into the role, Carey dismantles the common debate in the social sector about whether effort for change should be focused on solving near-term challenges or on creating long-term, systemic change.
"I think that's a false dichotomy, and that it's possible to do both in concert," says Carey. "As CEO, that's what I'm most excited about—designing interventions that both improve people's lives today and pave the way towards more enduring change."
To meet that ambition, Carey revealed that IDEO.org will further invest in evolving and sharing its practices in community co-design, which engages communities as active participants and decision makers in the design process.
"A co-design approach ensures people have authorship over the services, systems, and policies that directly impact them," says Carey. "This is what I believe IDEO.org's next chapter is all about - harnessing the power of design to create systemic change that's rooted in the visions communities have for their own futures."
Founded in 2011, IDEO.org is a nonprofit design studio. Our mission is to design a more just and inclusive world. To do so, we partner with organizations and communities to co-design products and services that improve people's lives and disrupt systems of inequality. From our offices in Nairobi, New York, and San Francisco, we've worked with over 100 organizations in 45 countries to design solutions reaching 68 million people. For more information on the impact of our work, please visit: 10 Year Impact Report.

Pakistan boycotts int'l chess event in Chennai; India says decision 'highly unfortunate'
- Country:
- Pakistan
Pakistan said on Thursday that it will boycott the International Chess Federation event in Chennai citing the torch relay of the event passing through Jammu and Kashmir, a move termed by India as ''highly unfortunate''.
Pakistan was invited by the International Chess Federation (FIDE) to participate in the 44th Chess Olympiad scheduled to be held in Chennai, India, from July 28 to August 10.
Regrettably, India has chosen to politicize this prestigious international sporting event by passing the torch relay of this event through Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan's Foreign Office said in a statement. ''Pakistan condemns India's mischievous attempt to mix politics with sports. As a protest, Pakistan has decided not to participate in the 44th Chess Olympiad and will also raise the matter with the International Chess Federation at the highest level," it said. Reacting to Pakistan's decision, Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said it was surprising that Pakistan has suddenly taken the decision not to participate in the event.
It is highly unfortunate that Pakistan has politicized the prestigious international event by making such statements and withdrawing its participation after its team has already reached India, he said in New Delhi.
Bagchi asserted that the Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh ''have been, are and will remain an integral part of India.'' Ties between India and Pakistan nose-dived after a terror attack on the Pathankot Air Force base in 2016 by terror groups based in the neighboring country. Subsequent attacks, including one on an Indian Army camp in Uri, further deteriorated the relationship.
The relationship dipped further after India announced withdrawing the special powers of Jammu and Kashmir and bifurcation of the state into two union territories in August 2019.

Delhi Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena on Thursday directed district magistrates to take prompt action on encroachment complaints and prevent discharge of septage in the Yamuna from unauthorized colonies.
The lieutenant governor also instructed the district magistrates (DMs) to ensure action against water tankers supplying dirty or poor-quality water to people, officials said.
In a meeting held with the Delhi chief secretary, divisional commissioner, and district magistrates of the revenue districts, Saxena stressed seamless coordination and proactive collaboration between the DMs handling revenue administration and various other officers representing different agencies and departments, said an official. Exhorting them to be present in the fields and on the roads, the LG asked the DMs to monitor the status of cleanliness in their respective districts.
While pointing toward the problem of encroachments, he directed the DMs to take swift and proactive action on complaints of encroachment regularly and address them immediately. The DMs were also directed to submit a list of all pending applications for NOCs for the sale/transfer of land, along with the reasons for pendency, to ensure transparency. They were also asked to identify dark spots which facilitate illegal activities and to take necessary action to address them in coordination with the police.
''The DMs were asked to regularly identify and monitor waterlogging spots and take action proactively to address them, especially by preventing the dumping of garbage. They were instructed to ensure that there is no discharge of septage in the Yamuna from the unauthorized colonies on rthe ivers bank,'' said the official.
Pointing toward the chronic problem of plotting and sale of agricultural land, Saxena also directed the DMs to take strict action to prevent the unauthorized plotting of land. In this regard, the DMs were also asked to carefully verify the carving of smaller plots within old farmhouses and ensure necessary action by provisions of law.
The DMs were also instructed to ensure the successful implementation of the Centre's 'Har Ghar Tiranga' program commemorating 75 years of Independence across all government buildings, especially schools and hospitals in their respective districts.

Iroquois Files Preliminary Consent Materials to Reconstitute Board of Directors at PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc.

Expresses Disappointment in the Board's Failure to Negotiate a Resolution to the Ongoing Proxy Fight in Good Faith By Reneging on its Proposed Settlement Framework and Continual Moving of Goalposts
Warns the Board Against Any Plans to Delay the 2022 Annual Meeting to Use the Company's Stock Buyback Program in a Self-Serving and Entrenching Manner
Believes Significant Value Can Be Unlocked at the Company with a New Culture of Accountability Emanating from the Boardroom
NEW YORK, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Iroquois Capital Management, LLC (together with its affiliates, "Iroquois"), one of the largest stockholders of PharmaCyte Biotech, Inc. ("PharmaCyte", "PMCB" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:PMCB), with an aggregate ownership stake together with the other participants in its solicitation of approximately 7.2% of the Company's outstanding shares, today announced that it has filed preliminary consent materials with the SEC regarding its solicitation of written consents from stockholders in lieu of a stockholder meeting to reconstitute a majority of the PharmaCyte Board of Directors (the "Board") with its slate of highly qualified nominees.
In the preliminary consent materials, Iroquois detailed its belief that PharmaCyte's insular and dysfunctional Board, comprised entirely of the Company's failing management team and Chairman and CEO Kenneth Waggoner's hand-picked appointees lacking other public company directorship or capital markets experience, is the root cause of the Company's severe destruction of stockholder value and loss of credibility with investors, continually shifting timelines and missed milestones with respect to its clinical development efforts, erratic investor communication practices, misaligned incentive structures and highly irregular and problematic governance structure.
Richard Abbe, President of Iroquois, stated, "As one of PharmaCyte's largest stockholders, our sole focus since investing in the Company in August 2021 has been to help improve the Company's performance and maximize value for stockholders. Although limited progress has been made in areas where we have repeatedly pushed the Company to improve, that progress came only after making our concerns public. We are disappointed by the Board's failure to negotiate in good faith to resolve the proxy contest and especially disappointed by the Company's reneging on the initial settlement framework that it had proposed to reconstitute a majority of the Board with individuals representing stockholder interests.
We believe stockholders have suffered long enough under this Board and management team. We will not allow continued gamesmanship by the Company or its advisors to either delay or dilute a referendum on the existing Board and management team. That referendum comes at the Company's 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2022 Annual Meeting"), for which the Board has failed to set a record date for or otherwise make any progress towards holding, or through the written consent of stockholders to our proposals. Our ultimate goal is to install our slate of highly qualified nominees as a majority of the Board, providing effective representation of common stockholders. If the real motivation behind the Board's delay with respect to the 2022 Annual Meeting is to manipulate its recently announced stock buyback program to buy time and buy votes ahead of a contested election, or to enter into any other self-serving transaction designed to entrench this dysfunctional Board, Iroquois wants to emphasize to the Board that such tactics are made in vain. We strongly believe that accountability will ultimately return to the boardroom.
We look forward to continuing to engage with our fellow stockholders over the coming weeks and invite you to review our preliminary consent statement, which explains why we believe our slate of professionals has the requisite skillsets, experience, drive, sense of accountability and demonstrated skin in the game needed to turn the Company around and maximize value for stockholders, PharmaCyte's key constituents."

395 non-performers, corrupt officers prematurely retired in 8 years: Govt
- Country:
- India
As many as 395 non-performing and corrupt Central government officers were prematurely retired from the service between July 2014 and June 2022, the Rajya Sabha was informed on Thursday.
''Government is vested with the absolute power to pre-maturely retire government servants in public interest by invoking the provisions of respective service rules/Fundamental Rule–56 (j),'' Union Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh said in a written reply. As per the data uploaded by the different ministries, departments, and cadre-controlling authorities (CCAs) on the Department of Personnel & Training's probity portal, between July 2014 to June 2022 (as on 19.07.2022), FR 56(j)/similar provisions have been invoked against a total number of 395 officers, he said.
This included 203 Group-A and 192 Group- B officers, he said.
The provisions allow the government to retire in public interest an allegedly corrupt or non-performer government officer.
In the matter of proven cases of grave misconduct, any penalty including removal or dismissal from service, as specified in the Central Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965, may be imposed on the Central government employees to whom these rules are applicable, the minister said. ''Since the charged officers are removed or dismissed under these rules by the respective cadre controlling authorities, data of such employees is not centrally maintained," Singh said, responding to a question seeking a number of central civil service officers who have either been removed or dismissed from service since 2017.

MORRISVILLE, N.C., July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- JupiterOne, the industry's leading provider of cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) technology, today announced that it was named as a Sample Vendor for Gartner Hype Cycle for Workload and Network Security 2022.
According to Gartner, "the Hype Cycle reflects the fact that organizations must deliver effective security measures in any location (for instance, with the new hybrid mesh firewall platform category that provides network security regardless of the network's location) as well as an increasing trend toward converged platforms."
The Gartner report notes that "today's cloud breaches are overwhelmingly likely to be caused by customer misconfiguration, not cloud provider weakness, and the automation can offset the complexity and dynamism of cloud environments." One solution category that addresses these challenges is the cyber asset attack surface management (CAASM) space. The report explains that "CAASM aggregates assets from other products that collect a subset of assets, such as endpoints, servers, devices and applications. By consolidating internal and external cyberassets, users can make queries to find gaps in coverage for security tools such as vulnerability assessment and endpoint detection and response (EDR) tools." JupiterOne pioneered a graph-based approach to CAASM that allows customers to track and monitor IP addresses and analyze and map all intra-asset relationships.
As the Gartner analysts explained, "CAASM enables security teams to improve basic security hygiene by ensuring security controls, security posture, and asset exposure are understood and remediated. Organizations that deploy CAASM reduce dependencies on homegrown systems and manual collection processes, and remediate gaps either manually or via automated workflows. Organizations can visualize security tool coverage, support attack surface management (ASM) processes, and correct systems of record that may have stale or missing data."
The drivers of CAASM adoption according to Gartner include:
- "Full visibility into all information technology (IT), Internet of Things (IoT) and operational technology (OT) assets under an organization's control, which improves understanding of the attack surface area and existing security control gaps or serves as part of a wider ASM process.
- Quicker audit compliance reporting through more accurate, current and comprehensive asset and security control reports.
- Consolidation of existing products that collect asset and exposure information into a single normalized view, which reduces the need for manual processes or dependencies on homegrown applications.
- Access to consolidated asset views for multiple individuals and teams across an organization, such as enterprise architects, security operations teams and IT administrators, who can benefit from viewing and querying consolidated asset inventories with a view to achieving business objectives.
- Lower resistance to data collection from, and better security visibility into, "shadow IT" organizations, installed third-party systems and line-of-business applications over which the IT department lacks governance and control. Security teams need visibility in these places, whereas the IT department may not".
JupiterOne is also recognized as a Sample Vendor for CAASM in the newly released Gartner Hype Cycle for Security Operations, 2022.
The Gartner recent report on Top Trends in Cybersecurity 2022 cited "Attack Surface Expansion" as one of the year's top security trends resulting from the expanding digital footprint of modern organizations. The increase in the attack surface is driven by "changes in the use of digital systems, such as new hybrid work, accelerated use of public cloud, more tightly interconnected supply chains, expansion of public-facing digital assets and increased use of operational technology." In our opinion, security leaders who reinvent the cybersecurity function and technology architecture can better position their organizations to maintain and grow value in an increasingly agile, distributed, and decentralized environment.
In signs of its growing business momentum, JupiterOne experienced exponential growth in annual recurring revenue (ARR), customer base, and the number of employees over the last year. The company plans to maintain and exceed historical revenue growth, drive employee growth at its headquarters in the RDU Triangle region and actively support a remote-first work environment. JupiterOne also recently secured a $70 million Series C funding round, bringing the company's total raised to more than $119 million and its estimated valuation to over $1 billion.

Erkang Zheng, Founder and CEO at JupiterOne
"Businesses are being forced to adapt quickly as work norms change. In my experience as a CISO, the first step to successfully defending against malicious actors is understanding what assets and asset relationships exist in an organization's environment that must be protected. This valuable security context from our data knowledge platform helps our customers focus their security initiatives on what matters most."

Renata Caine Named as Chief Commercial Officer and Lissa Andrews Named as VP of Global Marketing
TEL AVIV, Israel and SAN FRANCISCO, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Justt, a leading fintech revolutionizing the chargeback process through machine learning, today announced the expansion of its senior leadership team with two key hires: Renata Caine as Chief Commercial Officer and Lissa Andrews as VP of Global Marketing. The two female fintech veterans will spearhead the company's rapid expansion into new markets including the United States.
Justt's explosive global growth will be led by US-based Renata Caine, who joins after 4+ years at market-leading modern card issuer Marqeta, where she served as SVP of International, Strategy, and Planning and saw the company through their 2021 initial public offering. A veteran in the fintech and payments space, Caine previously spent 11 years at WEX most recently as VP of Commercial, Virtual Payments.
"After years of seeing the burden that chargebacks imposed on both issuers and downstream customers, I was thrilled to see Justt's technology solving a real need in the payments ecosystem," Caine said. Justt's core AI-powered solution helps merchants to efficiently contest payment chargebacks, which currently cost merchants over $125B a year in lost revenues. "Justt's platform leverages human expertise and innovation to automate what has historically been a laborious process. This is the scalable, tech-driven solution our industry urgently needs," Caine added.
Joining Caine is Lissa Andrews, a B2B and FinTech marketing veteran with over 20 years of experience. Andrews joins Justt from Billtrust the category-leading order-to-cash SaaS platform, where she was Director of Product Marketing. She previously served as Global Marketing Director for Corporate Payments at WEX, where she led teams across North America, EMEA, and APAC, and also held key marketing leadership positions at GE Capital and American Express.
The two appointments affirm Justt's commitment to diversity and gender equity in fintech, a space that has long been male-dominated. "Women are deservedly stepping up and taking leadership roles in the fintech space, and at Oak HC/FT we expect all our portfolio companies to give women and other diverse leaders the opportunity to shine," said Tricia Kemp, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Oak HC/FT, which led Justt's recent $70M Series B funding round. "This isn't altruism: research shows that startups with strong, diverse leadership teams perform better over time. We're proud to see Justt walking the walk, and we know that Renata and Lissa are the right people to lead the company's global growth."
At Justt, we've always believed that effective chargeback mitigation depends on having both the right technologies and the right people. With these new appointments, we're bringing together some of North America's top FinTech experts to meet the needs of U.S. merchants," said Justt CEO Ofir Tahor. "These battle-tested leaders recognize the importance of Justt's mission and the power of our solution. Under Renata's leadership, they will help merchants across the globe transform the way they address chargebacks, and help them leverage Justt's technologies to beat friendly fraud and retain more of their revenues."
Founded in February 2020, Justt is dedicated to helping online merchants navigate the complex and costly system for credit card disputes. Leveraging machine learning and deep domain-specific expertise, Justt deploys hands-off tailored solutions to fight chargebacks and gather and submit evidence on merchants' behalf. The result: a sophisticated, fully customized end-to-end solution that addresses chargeback fraud and provides industry leading success rates.

Kroger redefines the customer experience through delivery
DALLAS, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR), America's largest grocery retailer, today announced the official opening of its newest Customer Fulfillment Center (CFC) in Dallas, Texas. Powered by the Ocado Group (LSE: OCDO), the CFC will leverage advanced robotics technology and creative solutions to redefine the customer experience for customers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
"Kroger's fast-growing seamless ecosystem takes the promise of zero compromise to the next level, with Kroger Delivery bringing the freshest food and quality ingredients to your own doorstep—when you want it, how you want it," said Bill Bennett, Kroger Vice President and Head of E-commerce. "Customers can use Kroger.com or the Kroger app to check the weekly circular, select personalized digital coupons, search products by dietary preference and ultimately place their delivery order, saving time and money."
The company collaborated with the City of Dallas, the Governor's Office of Economic Development and Tourism, local and regional workforce solutions offices and school districts for talent acquisition and development.
"Kroger's choice to establish a new Customer Fulfillment Center in Dallas is a testament to the state's exceptional business-climate and highly skilled workforce," said Governor Greg Abbott. "This new center is great news for the people of North Texas, offering the local community greater access to fresh, nutritious foods, and bringing good-paying jobs and economic opportunities to hardworking Texans in the area. I look forward to working alongside the company as we continue to keep Texas the best place to live, work, and raise a family."
"The opening of Kroger's new Customer Fulfillment Center is a major win for our city — and it represents a tremendous investment in southern Dallas," Mayor Eric Johnson said. "This means hundreds of jobs, it means more economic development, and it means greater access to fresh groceries for all of our residents, including those in our historically underserved and overlooked communities. Together, we are building a more vibrant and more equitable city."
Local shoppers also have access to the newly launched Boost by Kroger annual membership program. For either $59 or $99 per year, Boost provides customers with benefits like unlimited free delivery on orders of $35 or more and two Fuel Points for every $1 spent on groceries and general merchandise purchases through Delivery, Pickup and in-stores. Kroger estimates the membership can save customers more than $1,000 per year on fuel and grocery delivery.
"Today is a great day for District 8 and all of Dallas. The new state-of-the-art Kroger fulfillment center provides hundreds and hundreds of good-paying jobs to the Inland Port and they have already hired many of our neighbors in the community," District 8 City Council Member and Chair of the Economic Development Committee Tennell Atkins said. "The center means that more people can get fresh and healthy groceries delivered right to their door quickly. This is a true win-win project and I'm so glad to see the doors open."
The 350,000 square-foot customer fulfillment center has brought more than 500 new jobs to Dallas and the surrounding communities. The facility will also work in collaboration with spoke facilities located in Austin, San Antonio and Oklahoma City. Each spoke facility will serve as a last-mile cross-dock that will enable Kroger Delivery to expand its services to more customers.
Kroger Delivery Explained
This expansion represents an extension of a partnership between Kroger and Ocado, a world leader in technology for grocery e-commerce. In 2018, the companies announced a collaboration to establish a delivery network that combines artificial intelligence and automation in a bold new way, bringing first-of-its-kind technology to America.
"Kroger and Ocado Group are building something truly unique in the American grocery landscape," said Luke Jensen, CEO of Ocado Solutions. "Our expanding fulfilment network is reaching more and more customers, bringing the benefits of our cutting-edge innovation to Kroger communities nationwide. Today's event marks the start of a service in Dallas that will bring a whole new standard of grocery experience to homes across Texas and beyond."
The delivery network relies on highly automated fulfillment centers. At the hub sites, more than 1,000 bots move around giant 3D grids, orchestrated by proprietary control systems. The grid, known as The Hive, contains totes with products and ready-to-deliver customer orders. As customers' orders near delivery times, bots retrieve products from The Hive and present them at pick stations for items to be sorted for delivery, a process governed by algorithms that ensure items are intelligently packed. For example, fragile items are placed on top, bags are evenly weighted and each order is optimized to fit into the lowest number of bags, reducing plastic use. Bags are also recyclable, reflecting Kroger's commitment to its Zero Hunger | Zero Waste commitment to rid its communities of hunger and waste.
Kroger's end-to-end cold solutions keep groceries fresh once loaded onto customized refrigerated delivery vans, which can store up to 20 orders. Powerful machine learning algorithms optimize delivery routes, considering factors like road conditions and optimal fuel efficiency. Drivers may travel up to 90 miles with orders from facilities to make deliveries.
Kroger currently operates customer fulfillment centers in Monroe, OH, Groveland, FL, Forest Park, GA (Atlanta), Pleasant Prairie, WI, Dallas, TX and Romulus, MI (Detroit), with additional customer fulfillment centers slated for California, Frederick, MD, Phoenix, AZ, Cleveland, OH, Charlotte, NC, Aurora, CO (Denver), as well as South Florida and the Northeast.

UN peacekeeper Shishupal Singh spoke to wife hours before his death in Congo
The brief conversation between the two took place on Tuesday, a couple of hours before he was killed, Madan Singh Bagadia, Singhs elder brother, told PTI on Thursday.Bagadia, who is a deputy commandant in BSF and currently posted in Jaisalmer, said, The situation was disturbing there.
- Country:
- India
Kavita's phone buzzed around Tuesday afternoon and her husband, a UN peacekeeper deployed in the Democratic Republic of Congo, told her during their brief conversation some protesters had burnt their tents.
Kavita did not realise the fire raging thousands of kilometres away in the DRC will engulf her home in Rajasthan.
Her phone screen will never lit up with that name again, she will never hear Shishupal Singh's voice again.
Her husband, a BSF personnel who was part of the UN peacekeeping mission in the DRC, was killed on July 26 during violent protests in the Central African country.
A Border Security Force (BSF) head constable, Singh originally hailed from Sikar district of Rajasthan and had joined the UN mission in May this year.
''Shishupal talked to his wife on Tuesday and told her about the situation in Congo. He said protesters had burnt their tents sometime back and the situation was disturbing for the last four or five days. The brief conversation between the two took place on Tuesday, a couple of hours before he was killed,'' Madan Singh Bagadia, Singh's elder brother, told PTI on Thursday.
Bagadia, who is a deputy commandant in BSF and currently posted in Jaisalmer, said, ''The situation was disturbing there. I came to know that something major happened there on Tuesday night. Shishupal's phone was also not connecting. On Wednesday morning, it was informed to us through an official channel that Shishupal has made the supreme sacrifice.'' Shishupal Singh's father Jhabar Ram and mother Parvati Devi live in Bagarion ka Bas village near Laxmangarh in Sikar while his wife Kavita is a government teacher posted in Jaipur.
She lives in Jaipur with her son, who is preparing for competitive exams, while their daughter is pursuing MBBS from Bengaluru.
Shishupal Singh was the youngest of three brothers. His another elder brother, Mool Singh, is also a BSF head constable and currently posted in the NDRF.
His mortal remains are expected to arrive on Friday and the funeral will take place in his native village in Sikar.
The other head constable of BSF, Sanwalaram Vishnoi, who was also killed during the demonstrations in Congo's eastern city of Goma against the UN mission, was from Barmer district of Rajasthan.

Silverton Casino Offers an 'Escape Plan' for Weary Parents, Opens its Doors to Retiring Elves
This #Christmas season, parents can take their elves off the shelves and send them to retire in Vegas. #elfontheshelf #rebelswithoutaclaus
Details: silvertoncasino.com/ShelfElfRetirements
LAS VEGAS, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As a special service to parents who have grown weary of their family's Christmas "Shelf Elves," Silverton Casino in Las Vegas will give a new home to the retiring pixies. The casino is offering to help parents looking to "officially" retire their elves, allowing them to take a spot at the BAD ELF pop-up holiday bar – the home to all rebels without a Claus.
The bar, which is open seasonally in November and December, is an over-the-top holiday spectacle. Throughout the bar, visitors are mesmerized by thousands of string lights, oversized ornaments, and dozens of "retired" elves watching from the ceiling above. As a finishing touch, a full-sized Airstream trailer is decked out in festive red and green garland, complete with plastic reindeer on the roof.
Those who wish to retire their elves and mail them to the casino will receive in return:
- An "official" retirement certificate
- A voucher good for a complimentary cocktail during their next visit to Las Vegas
- Silverton Casino will donate a toy to a Las Vegas toy drive on their behalf
To help justify the absence of their "Elf on a Shelf" at home this holiday season, Silverton will provide access to a "digital tool kit" with "tongue-in-cheek" letters that can be printed and shared with family members – including notes from the elf raving about retirement, and even photos of the elf's new Las Vegas friends.
The Shelf Elves are part of an interactive "hide 'n seek" game that has grown into a holiday tradition among families with young children. Most elves are acquired as part of an "Elf on a Shelf" boxed set, which has sold more than 13 million copies since it was first published in 2005. As part of the tradition, the little sprite shows up in creative spots each morning and serves as Santa's "eyes and ears" throughout the holiday season.
After more than a decade of popularity, many parents have become exhausted at maintaining their elf's nightly movements throughout the season, leaving them looking for a graceful way to end the holiday tradition – a convenient way to retire the little elf.
Those wishing to send their Shelf Elf to Las Vegas should include a note that contains the elf's name, hometown, and a physical address to send the certificate and drink voucher. The address is: Official Shelf Elf Retirement HQ, Silverton Casino, 3333 Blue Diamond Rd., Las Vegas, NV 89139. In addition, Shelf Elves can be dropped off at the Silverton Rewards counter at Silverton Casino. Questions can be directed to [email protected].

The resort is a culinary destination, featuring Mi Casa grill cantina, Su Casa sushi bar, Sundance Grill, WuHu Noodle, Shady Grove Lounge, Mermaid Restaurant & Lounge, Starbucks, and Johnny Rockets. Twin Creeks is known as the premier Off-Strip steakhouse in Las Vegas. The unique "Stakes are High" program at Twin Creeks Steakhouse gives diners a chance to roll dice to win a complimentary Creekstone Farms Tomahawk, the restaurant's signature cut.

Mediation by ex-judges to resolve property dispute failed, Lalit Modi, his mother Bina Modi to SC
- Country:
- India
Businessman and former IPL head Lalit Modi and his mother Bina Modi Thursday told the Supreme Court that the apex court-mandated mediation to resolve a long pending property dispute in the family has failed and urged that the case be adjudicated upon here.
A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana, however, asked senior lawyers including Harish Salve and A M Singhvi, appearing for Lalit Modi, and Kapil Sibal and Mukul Rohatgi, for his mother Bina Modi, to explore the possibility of resolution of the dispute again and intimate it.
The top court, on December 16, last year, had taken the consent of rival parties to the family property dispute and had appointed former apex court judges – Justices Vikramjit Sen and Kurian Joseph – to mediate and help the Modis to find an amicable solution. The bench, also comprising justices Krishna Murari and Hima Kohli was hearing Lalit Modi’s appeal against the judgement of a division bench of the Delhi High Court that the anti-arbitration injunction lawsuit filed by Bina Modi, wife of late industrialist K K Modi, against her son is maintainable. Salve, appearing for Lalit Modi, said ''I have a report from mediators. There is a report saying that the mediation has failed. Let us get on with the matter.'' On the other side, Sibal raised preliminary objections saying ''there is a trust and the dispute relates to trust. It has been held in several judgements that trust disputes cannot be decided through arbitrations.'' Rohatgi also objected to the filing of the appeal by UK-based Lalit Modi through his power of attorney.
''These relate to the merits of the cases. We will deal with these as well,'' the bench said. After hearing brief submissions, the bench adjourned the matter to next week and asked the lawyers to take instructions on solving the dispute amicably. Earlier, the bench had appointed the mediators and asked them to try to resolve the dispute. ''Ultimately both parties have agreed to mediation under Judges Vikramjit Sen and Kurian Joseph. We suggest parties use the facilities of the Mediation Centre in Hyderabad. They can request online mediation.
''We direct parties to maintain confidentiality and request mediators to take undertakings. Mediation to expedite proceedings preferably within a period of three months,'' the bench had said.
A lawsuit had earlier been filed by Bina Modi. It sought to restrain the arbitration proceedings initiated by Lalit Modi, a founder of the Indian Premier League (IPL), in Singapore over the dispute.
The apex court had earlier suggested mediation to the parties and asked them to give names of mediators of their choice.
In December 2020, the division bench of the high court held that it has the jurisdiction to decide Bina Modi's plea challenging Lalit Modi's move to initiate arbitration proceedings in Singapore.
The division bench had set aside the judgement of a single judge of the high court, which had said it does not have the jurisdiction to adjudicate the anti-arbitration injunction suits filed by Lalit Modi's mother Bina, his sister Charu and brother Samir and they are open to taking such pleas before the arbitral tribunal in Singapore.
The single judge had said an anti-arbitration injunction suit does not lie, so the pleas are not maintainable, and dismissed the matter.
Bina, Charu, and Samir, in two separate suits, contended that there was a trust deed between the family members and the K K Modi family trust matters cannot be settled through arbitration in a foreign country according to Indian laws.
They have sought a permanent injunction restraining Lalit Modi from prosecuting or continuing with the application for emergency measures and any arbitration proceedings against them in Singapore.
The division bench, in its judgement passed on December 24, 2020, had said the subject dispute ought to have been prime facie adjudicated by a single judge, who had to exercise the jurisdiction vested in the court as all the parties are Indian citizens and ‘situs’ of immovable assets of the trust is in India.
The division bench had remanded two civil suits to the single judge for further proceedings, in accordance with the law, from the stage of issuance of summons and directed the registry to list them for hearing.
According to the case, the trust deed was executed in London by K K Modi as settlor/managing trustee and Bina, Lalit, Charu, and Samir as trustees, and in pursuance of an oral family settlement was recorded between them on February 10, 2006.
K K Modi died on November 2, 2019, after which the dispute emerged amongst the trustees.
Lalit Modi contended that after the demise of his father, in view of the lack of unanimity amongst the trustees regarding the sale of trust assets, a sale of all assets of the trust has been triggered and distribution to beneficiaries has to occur within one year thereof, the single judge had noted.
His mother and the two siblings contended that on a true construction of the trust deed, no such sale has been triggered.

Nonprofit Aims to Grant 100 Wishes Each Day During Peak Summer Season
PHOENIX, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- From July 1 to Aug. 31, Make-A-Wish has a goal to grant 100 wishes each day with help from its "Summer of Wishes FUNdraising Challenge." The challenge encourages online streamers and content creators to join the growing list of celebrities who have rallied their online followings in support of Make-A-Wish. Influencers who are interested in participating can set up a fundraising page through Tiltify to help grant life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses during the organization's busiest wish granting season.
Although summer is a time for rest and relaxation for many, wish kids and their families continue to fight against their critical illnesses, taking an exhausting and traumatic toll. A wish helps entire families find relief from that traumatic stress and experience transformative joy. In fact, in a recent study, 9 out of 10 wish alumni say their wish made them feel more joyful, confident and hopeful for the future, while the same number of wish parents say their child's emotional well-being improved with a wish.
Participants in the "Summer of Wishes FUNdraising Challenge" can either donate directly to Make-A-Wish or host their own virtual fundraiser, allowing them to invite friends, family and followers to make financial donations. Either way, these efforts will make a huge splash in the lives of children with critical illnesses, their families, and everyone involved in granting their wish. Participants will join the growing community of renowned content creators and supporters who have hosted virtual fundraisers and livestreams in support of Make-A-Wish in the past.
Make-A-Wish plans every wish with one goal: to transform the life of a child with a critical illness. Care and attention are given to every detail, and each donation supports wish-granting needs and empowers the kids Make-A-Wish serves, bringing them hope for today – and tomorrow.

The Madras High Court has imposed a cost of Rs 1 lakh on the Commissioner of the Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment (HR&CE) department and Rs 50,000 each on two of his subordinates for not implementing its earlier order passed in 2021 with regard to collection of rent from the tenants of temple property and taking penal action against the defaulters.
The subordinate officers are the Assistant Commissioner and Joint Commissioner. The amount shall be remitted to the Cancer Institute at Adyar here within two weeks, Justice Anita Sumanth said in a recent order.
The judge was closing a contempt application from B Sukumar, who sought to punish the trio for willfully and deliberately disobeying the order dated June 21, 2021, of the Court on his writ petition.
Originally, the petitioner had filed a writ petition for a direction to the HR&CE Commissioner to consider his representation sent in September 2020 to the Executive Officer of Sri Sokkavel Subramaniya, Angala Parameswari, and Kasi Viswanathar temple on South Mada Street in Choolai here and pass orders in that regard.
He alleged the properties of the temple in the area had been allotted to certain individuals, but they had not been remitting the rents to the temple. Since he was an erstwhile trustee and was interested in the welfare of the temple, he sent the representation, he claimed. And the judge in June last year had directed the authorities concerned to take action as expeditiously as possible under Sec. 78 of the HR&CE Act in accordance with all Standard Operating Procedures and Regulations applicable.
Contending that this order had not been implemented, the petitioner preferred the present contempt application.
The judge found there was nothing to explain the delay in complying with the directions of the Court till date. Apart, the officers do not even express any regret and are brazen about the non-compliance. As contempt of the directions given in the earlier order is apparent and the casual and unacceptable attitude of the respondents are visible, the judge said that it is a fit case to impose the costs and accordingly imposed the same on them.

Iggy Pop, Peter Gabriel, James Taylor, Norah Jones, Sarah McLachlan and Mavis Staples are among the heavy hitters appearing on the new Leonard Cohen tribute album Here It Is, which will arrive Oct. 14 from Blue Note. The 12-track project was produced by longtime Cohen friend Larry Klein and is led by Taylor’s cover of “Coming Back to You,” originally found on Cohen’s 1984 album Various Positions.
“Leonard Cohen had been a friend since 1982 or so, and in the last 15 years of his life, he became a close friend,” Klein says. “He was possibly the wisest and funniest friend that I had, and someone that I enjoyed, immensely, in every way. After he passed away, I found myself frequently covering his songs with other artists that I was working with. One reason, of course, is that the songs are so good — in a certain way, Leonard is the best pop songwriter ever — but the other reason was that it helped keep him in the air around me.”
To celebrate Cohen, who died at 82 in 2016, Klein rounded up “a group of the most prescient and forward-looking musicians in the jazz world” as the album’s core backing band, including guitarist Bill Frisell, saxophonist Immanuel Wilkins, pianist Kevin Hays, bassist Scott Colley and drummer Nate Smith. Pedal steal great Greg Leisz and organist Larry Goldings also appear.
Taylor’s rendition of “Coming Back to You” features a very uncharacteristic, deep vocal performance from the veteran singer/songwriter — one “which was certainly at the bottom of my own range,” he says. “But somehow moving me out of my comfort zone helped me find my own approach to the song. Like so much of Leonard Cohen’s writing, this lyric resonates deeply with his forlorn and hopeless take on the bleak landscape of love and attachment. So, breathe a deep sigh and, drink up.”
Pop sings Cohen’s classic “You Want It Darker” on Here It Is, bringing to mind a legendary story about the two artists replying to a personal ad from a woman seeking “the poetic sensitivity of Leonard Cohen and the raw power of Iggy Pop.” Elsewhere, McLachlan performs “Hallelujah,” which itself is the subject of the 2021 documentary Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song, while Jones covers “Steer Your Way” and Gabriel handles the album’s title track.
“It was an immensely gratifying experience to re-contextualize these poems, and shine a different light on them,” Klein says. “I hope that this musical language that we developed together, the context that we put these things in, makes the songs connect with people in a new way.”
Here is the track list for Here It Is: A Tribute to Leonard Cohen:
“Steer Your Way,” Norah Jones
“Here It Is,” Peter Gabriel
“Suzanne,” Gregory Porter
“Hallelujah,” Sarah McLachlan
“Avalanche,” Immanuel Wilkins
“Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye,” Luciana Souza
“Coming Back to You,” James Taylor
“You Want It Darker,” Iggy Pop
“If It Be Your Will,” Mavis Staples
“Seems So Long Ago, Nancy,” David Gray
“Famous Blue Raincoat,” Nathaniel Rateliff
“Bird on the Wire,” Bill Frisell

9 LP VINYL/6 CD BOX SET & DIGITAL HD/SD TO BE RELEASED ON OCTOBER 7, 2022
LOS ANGELES, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mark Knopfler - The Studio Albums 2009-2018, a 9 LP vinyl/6 CD boxset & digital SD/HD, will be released on October 7 by UMe/EMI, gathering together the second half of his solo songbook with his more recent studio albums, to add to last year's '96 – 2007 collection. The box will include Get Lucky (2009), Privateering (2012), Tracker (2015), and his latest release Down The Road Wherever (2018) plus a collection of studio b-sides and bonus tracks and two previously unreleased songs – "Back In The Day" and "Precious Voice From Heaven." The audio quality has been overseen by the original mastering engineer Bob Ludwig at Gateway Mastering, while vinyl was cut by Bernie Grundman. You can pre-order/pre-save the album HERE.
"The Mark Knopfler songbook, since the Dire Straits years, is literally and pleasingly all over the map, and yet without any sense of an album being a miscellany – being merely the next thing Mark Knopfler comes up with. Cohesion seems instinctual to him, both as a writer and a guitar player. He has his subjects, as any writer luckily will – youth and aging (often his own), the working grind, the demi-monde, the louche, wandering life of the road, women and love, history, literature, The North of England, Geordie issues. All of these preoccupations get fused into songs – melodies, stories (always stories), settings, characters, dictions, breathtaking guitar virtuosity burning hot from within – which seem always to come round to being about seeking grace; a real-time, minor key, on-the-ground grace. And also frequently about not finding it."
Richard Ford
Mark Knopfler, singer-songwriter, record producer, and composer, is one of the most successful musicians the UK has ever produced and is often cited as one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He first came to prominence in the 80s as the leader of Dire Straits, who created many of the signature songs of the era including "Sultans Of Swing," "Money For Nothing," "Romeo And Juliet," and "Walk Of Life." Dire Straits last toured in 1992 and Mark set off on a new path as a solo artist. In the ensuing years, Knopfler has released nine solo albums of sophisticated rootsy rock and has continued to sell out tours across the globe with his band, delighting audiences wherever he goes. Over the years, Mark has written the music for several films, including Local Hero, Cal, The Princess Bride, Last Exit To Brooklyn, and Wag The Dog, and has played and recorded with many artists, including Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Tina Turner, Randy Newman, and the late Chet Atkins.
The new live musical version of Local Hero, with new music and lyrics by Mark, will be staged at Chichester Festival Theatre from October 8 – November 19, 2022.

On January 11, 1992, the gilded ramparts of the music establishment were certifiably leveled as Nirvana’s Nevermind knocked Michael Jackson’s Dangerous from the Billboard No. 1 album spot.
Big-budget fashion also got grimy in ’92: Marc Jacobs unveiled a runway grunge collection, (painfully ironic considering the style is all about thrift store clothing). Kmart catalogs in Australia featured grunge-centric fashion offerings, with “Get into Grunge!” advert headlines. In September Cameron Crowe’s Seattle-set, flannel-ized Singlespacked movie theaters, selling millions of copies of its grunge soundtrack.
And 1992 saw Perry Farell’s Lollapalooza festival barnstorm the nation again. What had begun the year prior as an epic farewell tour for his band Jane’s Addiction, inspired by a manager’s visit to Reading Festival, was renewed (minus Jane’s). The result was an alternative cultural happening on wheels, the likes of which America had never experienced before.
To quote Jane’s Addiction’s Stephen Perkins: “It was a train of freaks traveling the world, bringing it to Ohio, bringing it to Jersey, bringing it to Seattle, and seeing that it was everywhere, and they were waiting for it, and they were hungry for it. Once we left the town, the town was never the same.”
Lollapalooza ’92 ran from July 18 to September 13, as our ’92 spread below describes, rumbled “through 27 cities like a thousand-legged groove machine.” Ticket prices ranged from $26.25-$31.25 (if only you had a time machine, right?).
Read on for a thorough recap of grunge yesteryear, as well as some reflections from attendees 30 years later, including this magic moment from Dave Wedge: “Watched the lawn at Great Woods in Mansfield, Mass. get burned down while the RHCP played. It was the beginning of the end for lawn seats at Great Woods…”
Decked out in shorts and 10-hole black Doc Maartens, I went to Lollapalooza ’92 at Montage Mountain in Pennsylvania.
I had been to the original Lolla the previous year and was looking forward to another great day of music with a new lineup. We parked in the designated lot and waited for shuttles to take us up to the concert area. The problem was, the buses were nowhere to be found. We didn’t know if there weren’t enough or they just weren’t working, but we were waiting around to get a ride. By the time a bus finally drove us to the festival area, Pearl Jam was wrapping up its set. I’ll never forget hearing “Even Flow” while pulling up to the main gates. As we walked inside, Pearl Jam was off the stage. (It would be nearly 20 years later before I finally got to see them.) My friend suffered a severe ankle sprain before Ministry, but had the medical tent wrap it up tightly so he could get in the pit.
The Jim Rose Sideshow Circus did their best to gross out the audience on the side stage and multiple people lost their lunch in the crowd.
I’ll never forget the Red Hot Chili Peppers who were touring in support of Blood Sugar Sex Magik. They played a set list full of funk and rock, including covers of Neil Young, Jimi Hendrix and George Clinton… but they also had to play one of their newest hits, “Under the Bridge.” Us longtime fans of the funkier Chili Peppers weren’t happy with the new, softer direction the band was going in and a full-out mosh pit sprang up for the entire song. I remember seeing couples slow dancing and hugging–only to be knocked off their feet by an expanding circle pit. Thankfully, the band finished with more funk, including “Me and My Friends” and “Yertle the Turtle.”
Jeff Hahne
I went to Molson Park in Barrie, Ontario.
A sampling of some of the things I saw…
Ministry: I got smashed around so much by this audience while slam-dancing that I had to take two days off of work because I couldn’t lift my arms.
The Jim Rose Sideshow Circus / Human Pin Cushion Faint-O-Meter: It was amazing. The Human Pin Cushion came on stage, threw off his overcoat, and like 25% of the audience immediately fainted/vomited/ran away.
Jesus And Mary Chain: In the bright sunshine of the afternoon. It was hilarious. Probably not for them.
Pearl Jam: Eddie climbed stuff. Everyone thought he was going to fall and die.
Soundgarden: This was where I figured out that Chris Cornell was a “studio” singer.
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Are the headliners really headliners if they’re the plausible excuse for people to start heading to the parking lot early so they can beat the traffic?

Medius continues investment in U.S. with appointment of new Senior Vice President of Sales
Procure-to-Pay Veteran, Mary Flynn Barton joins as SVP of NA Sales to fuel growth following Medius's OnPay Solutions acquisition earlier this year
STOCKHOLM, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Medius, a leading provider of AP Automation and wider spend management solutions, announces the appointment of a new Senior Vice President for its sales function across North America.
Based in Alabama, Mary Flynn Barton is an award-winning and top revenue-generating technology sales leader and spend management expert. Mary joins the company to build the sales teams and help develop a deep understanding of the Medius customer journey.
Mary joins Medius from iDonate, where she was the CRO responsible for all sales, marketing, and customer success functions. Prior to that, she spent a decade at Coupa in various positions throughout the company and ultimately became the sales lead for its North Central Region.
Mary graduated from Loyola University in New Orleans and has lived throughout the US in New Orleans, Austin, San Francisco, Dallas, and Minneapolis and is now proud to call Daphne, Alabama home.
Mary joins Medius as the company invests in its US operations. Earlier in 2022, Medius acquired US-based OnPay Solutions with the acquisition acting as a driving force for the SaaS leader to grow its sales and channel sales functions to improve the end-to-end invoice-to-pay processes for its customers. Furthermore, Mary's appointment is the latest in a series of senior leadership hires at Medius, most recently including Tanya Wills as VP of Channel Sales and Alliances.
Mary Flynn Barton, SVP of Sales North America, comments: "It's an exciting time to be working in SaaS and fintech. AP is a critical function where businesses can quickly improve control, reduce risk, drive efficiency, and reduce costs.

Maha local bodies polls: SC warns of contempt if elections renotified to include OBC quota
The Supreme Court Thursday warned the Maharashtra State Election Commission SEC of contempt action if it renotifies the election process to 367 local bodies, where it has already commenced, in order to provide reservation to OBCs.The SEC, it said, cannot and shall not renotify the election programme, voicing displeasure over the misreading of its July 20 order.

The Supreme Court Thursday warned the Maharashtra State Election Commission (SEC) of contempt action if it renotifies the election process to 367 local bodies, where it has already commenced, to provide reservations to OBCs.
The SEC, it said, ''cannot and shall not'' renotify the election program, voicing displeasure over the ''misreading'' of its July 20 order. Any breach of its directives will invite contempt for the SEC and others concerned, the court said.
The Supreme Court had on July 20 accepted the recommendations of the Banthia commission providing 27 percent OBC reservations in local body elections and directed that election for local bodies in the state be notified in the next two weeks.
It had, however, made clear the same day that the new reservation policy will not apply to the 367 local bodies where the election process had already begun.
The court had noted in its July 20 order that the counsel for the SEC had said the election program in respect of 367 local bodies has already started and will be taken to its logical end.
The apex court had quashed the SEC notification providing for 27 percent quotas for OBCs in local bodies in early 2021.
In December 2021, it ruled reservation for OBCs in local bodies will not be allowed unless the government fulfills the triple test laid down in the SC's 2010 order. The top court had ruled that until the triple test criteria are fulfilled, the OBC seats will be re-notified as general category seats.
The triple test required the state government to set up a dedicated commission to gather data on the backwardness of OBCs in every local body, specify the proportion of reservation in each local body in light of the commission's recommendations, and ensure that such reservation does not exceed 50% of the total seats reserved for SC/ST/OBC together.
In response to the SC order, the then MVA government had set up a commission led by former chief secretary Jayant Banthia and asked him to collate data as sought by the court. After the commission submitted its report on July 7, the new Shiv Sena-BJP government moved the court for permission to hold elections to local bodies introducing the OBC quota.
During the hearing on Thursday, a bench headed by Justice A M Khanwilkar said in terms of the last week's order, the SEC is obliged to complete the election process which had already been notified in respect of 367 local bodies.
The court's apprehension about the deliberate postponement of elections to introduce quotas for OBCs even in local bodies where the poll process had commenced stemmed from Senior advocate Shekhar Naphade's contention that polls to 92 municipal councils and four Nagar panchayats were put off by the SEC on July 14 because of extraordinary rain. These 92 municipal councils and four Nagar panchayats figured in the list of 367 local bodies where the election process had already been set in motion.
The bench, also comprising Justices A S Oka and J B Pardiwala, observed the election program commences from the date of first notification. ''Dates have been notified. The election program has commenced. That we will not interdict. We had made it clear,'' the bench said, adding, ''They can only change the date from date X to date Y.'' There cannot be reserved for these 367 local bodies, the court asserted.
''This is not acceptable. You are trying to misread at your convenience, under maybe the dictation of someone. You want us to issue contempt notice, we will do that,'' the bench warned the SEC's counsel. ''The State Election Commission cannot and shall not re-notify the election program to provide reservation in respect of 367 local bodies referred to in the affidavit filed before this court on July 8, 2022,'' the bench said.

The best-in-class membership software helps travel creators acclimate to the new travel media landscape.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Memberful, the leading membership software for independent entrepreneurs and creators, today announced that it is expanding further into the travel industry after a successful year-long partnership with El Camino Travel.
The travel industry for creators has been one-dimensional, dictated by brands and their campaign terms which require hours of a creator's time for one compensated post. For brands, this can lack authenticity and connection to the audience. For creators, it often results in being under-compensated due to the time required to create content. Creators in other industries have seen the acceleration of membership and subscription-based models, but travel has lagged.
Post pandemic, brands will favor creators with hyper-focused and creative content curated to a specific audience. As a result, creators have a unique opportunity to build a better business model where they can sustainably monetize their audience and take back their time. Memberful allows travel creators to establish a genuine connection with their audience and create a new business model that sustains their passion for travel.
"There is a symbiotic relationship between the travel industry and Memberful," says Tiffany Perko, Head of Marketing at Memberful. "The partnership with El Camino Travel has proven to us that membership is an important component of the travel creator landscape. Memberful is excited to continue to enable this at scale."
Memberful has taken hold of the travel industry as its subscription-based model begins to develop the future of travel. Katalina Mayorga, CEO of El Camino Travel, says, "We believe that members see the value in connecting with other similarly-valued individuals and that this aspect of membership will continue to grow. In addition, there is no limit to the kind of perks and benefits companies can offer their members."
The award-winning travel platform launched its ECT Clubhouse community during the pandemic, which led them to Memberful as a resource to manage its membership model. "Having the opportunity to connect with more of our travelers on a deeper level, with membership, has been invaluable," adds Mayorga.
The partnership with Memberful has also allowed El Camino Travel to utilize membership management functions like automatic subscriber tagging to send targeted emails directly to its community members to increase engagement.
As an online community, connection is a large part of the experience. With Memberful, El Camino Travel can make it easier and more enjoyable for travelers to connect before and after trips. A direct line of communication with the El Camino Travel team has been an additional benefit.
Founded in 2013, Memberful provides best-in-class membership software for entrepreneurs and independent content creators, including publishers, educators, podcasters, and more. Through Memberful, customers can quickly sell memberships to their audience and build sustainable businesses. For more information, visit www.memberful.com.

A ragpicker was arrested for killing a rickshaw puller in central Delhi's Karol Bagh area after the victim refused to give him an extra chapatti, police said on Thursday.
The accused, Firoz Khan (26), was identified after an intensive scanning of 200 laborers and vagabonds, they said.
On Tuesday, a man was found lying unconscious with a stab injury and was rushed to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. He has declared brought dead by doctors, the police said.
The deceased was identified as Munna (40) from Madhya Pradesh. He worked as a rickshaw puller, they said.
An FIR was registered at Karol Bagh police station under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code and an investigation was launched.
According to the statement of an eyewitness, Munna was sitting on a footpath at the Arya Samaj road in Karol Bagh around 10 pm on Tuesday, the police said.
The eyewitness told police that Munna was having food when a drunk person approached him and asked for food. The victim gave him a chapatti but refused to share another one when the accused asked for it.
This angered the accused, who pulled out a knife and stabbed Munna in the abdomen before fleeing, the police said.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Shweta Chauhan said during the investigation, police personnel physically scanned 200 laborers and vagabonds living on roads and in parks. The accused was found sleeping in a park.
When interrogated, Khan confessed to his crime. CCTV footage from the scene of the crime and the route taken by him established his role, she said.
The accused was arrested. At his instance, the knife used in the commission of the crime was recovered, the officer said.

Modern Age's board-certified clinicians will use the hallmark Subjective Age Assessment to provide customers with personalized treatment plans to address their aging concerns
NEW YORK, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Modern Age, a health and wellness company focused on healthy aging, launched a digital Subjective Age Assessment to help users measure how they are aging across a variety of important factors.
Subjective age is how old individuals feel regardless of their chronological age. Over the past four decades, scientists have linked feeling younger than one's chronological age with positive health outcomes such as greater strength, better biomarkers for liver and endocrine function, and a more youthful brain.
"Our research reinforced that aging is a topic surrounded by fear and uncertainty. People feel powerless and believe how they will age is predetermined. In reality, only 20% to 30% is determined by your genetics, and the rest is controllable. Taking our Subjective Age Assessment is the first step in understanding how old you look and feel and, as a result, how well you age," said Modern Age's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Anant Vinjamoori.
A first of its kind, the Subjective Age Assessment examines three critical factors: visible age, lifestyle age, and psychological age. Through AI analysis of photos and personal responses, the Subjective Age Assessment delivers a comprehensive view of the factors impacting an individual's aging journey. Modern Age's board-certified clinicians are available to guide individuals through the results to create a personalized plan to address aging in a telehealth consultation or in person at Modern Age's New York City Flatiron studio.
By offering a curated suite of products and treatments, from Neuromodulators to IV Drip Therapy to PRP Hair Restoration, Modern Age enables its customers to take a proactive and holistic approach to aging in partnership with its team of medical experts. Customers will be encouraged to periodically re-take the Subjective Age Assessment to understand how the steps they are taking impacts their Subjective Age over time. With the launch of the Subjective Age Assessment, Modern Age has redefined the type of knowledge and hyper-personalized tools available to help individuals take control of how they age.
To embark on your own aging journey with Modern Age's Subjective Age Assessment, please visit modern-age.com/subjective-age
Modern Age is ushering in a new era of aging wellness focused on preventative care that considers your health holistically. We're empowering people to take charge of their aging journey by building an evidence-based digital experience and inviting physical space. We aim to give you the information you need to feel good and live longer, from our accredited multidisciplinary medical team to our personalized approach. Learn more at www.modern-age.com.

Don't consider LNJP medical report for Satyendar Jain interim bail: Delhi HC to trial court

The Delhi High Court Thursday directed the trial court here not to consider for the time being Delhi Minister Satyendar Jain's medical report given by state government-run Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital while dealing with his plea seeking interim bail in connection with a money laundering case.
Justice Jasmeet Singh sought a response from Jain on the plea by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) that he be medically examined at hospitals like AIIMS, RML, or Safdarjung instead of LNJP where he is admitted.
''Issue notice (on the petition)... It is directed that the Special Judge shall not consider the medical report from LNJP till the next date of hearing,'' ordered the court.
''In case he (trial court judge) wants to grant bail on some other ground, that's up to him,'' Justice Singh orally said.
Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, appearing for the investigating agency, said that the Supreme Court in its verdict concerning the validity of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act has upheld the twin conditions of bail in money laundering cases.
The senior lawyer emphasized that there is a grave likelihood that Jain, who was the city Health Minister, exercises ''influence over LNJP'' and said that even his picture is displayed prominently on the hospital website and he was also the ''guest of honour'' at an event there.
Raju said that there was a need for an independent evaluation of his health before his plea for release on the ground of ill health is considered by the trial court.
''Till today (it has been) 46 days. He got admitted to LNJP and (has spent) not a single day in jail,'' he said.
He also referred to a case of Calcutta High Court directing an arrested West Bengal minister to be medically examined by AIIMS.
Raju said that he was not pressing the agency's prayer for shifting Jain to AIIMS, RML, or Safdarjung Hospital at this stage and urged that the medical report by LNJP, if any, not be considered by the trial court till the next date of hearing.
The court listed the matter for further hearing on August 17.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader was arrested on May 30 under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and was first sent to police custody and thereafter in judicial custody.
In the petition, ED has challenged a trial court's July 6 order rejecting the agency's prayer to get the accused medically evaluated by any independent hospital such as Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital or AIIMS, instead of LNJP Hospital.
"… the Directorate of Enforcement has a serious doubt as to whether the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital or even the GB Pant Hospital would be able to independently assess the medical condition of the respondent (Jain) herein for the reason that these hospitals continue to prominently display the picture of the respondent on its home page and as evident from the plaque commemorating the inauguration of Lok Nayak Hospital, it is evident that the same was done in the presence of the respondent herein as the Guest of Honour, who was holding the portfolio of Minister of Health and Family Welfare, Government of NCT of Delhi," the petition has said.
It has also challenged the trial court's July 19 order passed in the interim bail application of Jain. The trial court then adjourned the matter for arguments on July 29 and sought a detailed medical report from LNJP Hospital.
The ED has claimed that on June 27, the Investigating Officer (IO) of the case had gone to LNJP Hospital where he found that Jain was sleeping on the patient bed without any cannula on his hand and even the multipara patient monitor was switched off and he was not being monitored by any medical instrument and his wife was present in the room.
"When the IO reached the room, the respondent immediately wore the oxygen mask, the BP apparatus belt, and the monitor was switched on. It was under these suspicious circumstances and the fact that prima facie the condition of the respondent was not such which required hospitalization, an application was preferred (before the trial court) seeking a direction that he may be admitted in any independent hospital like the Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital or AIIMS Hospital at New Delhi for an independent evaluation of his health," it said, adding that the application was dismissed by the trial court.

NOVATO, Calif., July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- QT Imaging, Inc., a medical device company focused on the development and clinical adoption of novel products for body imaging, today announced results of a National Cancer Institute study comparing the QTscan with 7-Tesla MRI for prostate cancer screening. In an initial series of 10 patients, blinded QT Imaging interpretation demonstrated equal or better sensitivity for detection of cancer compared with multi-parametric 7-Tesla MRI. The study was done in collaboration with the Urologic Oncology Branch, Center for Interventional Oncology National Cancer Institute, Bethesda, MD and the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD.
On blinded sector-based analysis, QT's low frequency transmitted ultrasound volography™ had a sensitivity of 85.7% and specificity of 93.9%, while mpMRI had a sensitivity of 65.3% and specificity of 96.6%. These results demonstrate that QT's imaging technology has significant potential as a low-cost, high resolution imaging modality for prostate cancer.
From the Abstract: While multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and targeted biopsy have improved detection of high-risk prostate cancer (PCa) over traditional B-mode gray scale ultrasound, use of mpMRI in the diagnostic pathway for PCa remains limited due to variability in image acquisition and interpretation, accessibility, and cost. Low frequency transmitted ultrasound volography, previously shown to have high sensitivity for the diagnosis of breast cancer, provides 360-degree submillimeter-resolution imaging for tissue characterization and cancer detection even in the presence of bone and air, and with limited view tomographic data. In this study, we sought to validate this technique for detection of prostate cancer by imaging ex vivo whole prostate specimens after radical prostatectomy, comparing lesion detection and visualization with low frequency transmitted ultrasound volography with mpMRI, and correlating imaging findings with wholemount histopathology.
Prostate specimens were collected from fifty-three patients undergoing Robot Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) for biopsy-confirmed PCa from February 2021 to February 2022. Thirteen of fifty-three prostate specimens had scanned and annotated histopathology slides and mpMRI scans; three were excluded for a history of androgen deprivation therapy or radiation. Of the remaining ten, the median age at surgery was 60 years [IQR 58.3-67.5] and median PSA was 6.85 ng/mL [IQR 5.78-8.73]. Six patients had Gleason Grade Group (GG) two cancer on RARP, one had GG 3, two had GG 4, and 1 had GG 5.
"These results demonstrate the clinical value of QT's low frequency transmitted sound volography as a high-resolution imaging modality. We are encouraged by the continued high performance of QT imaging, especially in general anatomic and body imaging," said John Klock, MD, CEO and CMO at QT Imaging.
These results were reported at three scientific meetings:
- American Urological Association meeting Sept. 2021
- Engineering and Urology Society 35th Annual Meeting, "2022 Best Abstract Award", J. Enders
- SPIE Medical Imaging, Feb. 2022
QT Imaging™ is a privately held company engaged in the research, development, and commercialization of an innovative automated imaging system producing high-resolution transmission ultrasound images. The company has received FDA 510(K) clearance for its QT Imaging Breast Scanner, and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has awarded over $15 million in funding to support QT Imaging research. The company's clinical trials have been conducted at prestigious institutions in the US and Europe.
The QT Imaging Breast Scanner is indicated for use as an ultrasonic imaging system to provide reflection-mode and transmission-mode images of a patient's breast. The device is not intended to be used as a replacement for screening mammography.

Jumbo-Visma’s masterplan to unravel Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) at the 2022 Tour de France was partly inspired by an unlikely source: Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag.
Jonas Vingegaard ended Jumbo-Visma’s wait for the yellow jersey in Paris on Sunday, with his triumph teed up by a spectacular double assault on Pogacar on Stage 11.
Ad
Vingegaard and team-mate Primoz Roglic, then still in GC contention, took it in turns to accelerate clear on the kinder slopes of the Col du Galibier, forcing Pogacar to close each move and expend energy. The tactic was ruthlessly simple: force Pogacar to work twice as hard as Vingegaard and Roglic. He took the bait.
Tour de France
The Power of Rivalry - Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar lighting up cycling world
Those succession of mini efforts proved pivotal when, with 4.5km to go, Vingegaard made attacked on the Col du Granon. Pogacar could not respond, eventually coming home 2’51” adrift of the Dane. It was a day for the ages and one that effectively saw the Tour sewn up.
Now Jumbo-Visma’s directeur sportif, Merijn Zeeman, has revealed his fellow Dutchman Ten Hag helped lay the blueprints for one of the most dramatic attacks in Tour history.
"Someone who has helped me a lot is Erik ten Hag,” said Zeeman.
“Someone from a completely different sport, but I wanted to understand from him: how do you arrive at tactics? What is the essence of your sport for you? Before you make a game plan, what's behind that? I've had the opportunity to talk to him about that a number of times."
- The 10 best riders of the Tour, Vingegaard misses out on top spot - Blazin’ Saddles
- Daredevil descending and THAT handshake – 13 best moments of the Tour
Stage 11 highlights: Vingegaard stars in all-time classic as Pogacar wilts
Jumbo-Visma’s desire to try something new was understandable.
In 2020, Roglic had a seemingly unassailable lead heading into the final competitive stage: a 36km time trial that finished on the brutal Planche des Belle Filles. But Pogacar soared and Roglic collapsed as the yellow jersey changed hands in a dramatic finale.
The next year, Jumbo’s challenge faded miserably as Roglic crashed early on and an inexperienced Vingegaard was a distant runner-up.
According to Dutch outlet NOS, a wounded Jumbo-Visma began pouring over data to answer one question: what were Pogacar’s weaknesses? They even analysed a podcast where Pogacar spoke openly about his flaws.
“With great talents such as Wout van Aert, Primoz Roglic, Jonas Vingegaard and Steven Kruijswijk in your team, you can also come up with different tactics,” continued Zeeman.
“Just as good football coaches have good football players at their disposal with whom they can win matches, we can also make plans because you have good riders at your disposal.
"Then we really started preparing for the Tour. We had already done quite a lot of reconnaissance. We knew the course better and better. And we also knew what Pogacar was especially good at.
"We were still looking for that. What are his pitfalls, where is his weakness, what kind of team does he have, where can we hit them? And how do you translate that into our qualities in the course?"
The plan was hatched: make Pogacar expend a lot of energy before a long hard climb.
Stage 11 looked ideal with back-to-back hors categorie – the toughest – climbs on the menu. It worked perfectly. Vingegaard and Roglic chiselled away at Pogacar on the Col du Galibier, with the former then launching an unrivalled attack on the Col du Granon to seize yellow and control of the race.
Jumbo-Visma also had a similar strategy planned for Stage 12 to Alpe d’Huez, but after their exploits the previous day it was deemed unnecessary.
Vingegaard then weathered a flurry of Pogacar attacks – notably on Stage 18 which saw the pair share handshake after the Dane waiting for his Slovenian rival after a crash – before all but wrapping up a maiden Grand Tour title on the climb to Hautacam.
‘Wow’ – Vingegaard allows Pogacar to catch up after crash in ‘incredible’ gesture

Nationally Recognized Voiceover Artist, Cayman Kelly, Shares Thoughts on Some of His Favorite Summer Interviews: New Edition, Bobby Brown, Tamar Braxton, and Other Black Talent - All Featured on SiriusXM's Heart & Soul Radio Show
WASHINGTON, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Radio veteran Cayman Kelly has had a busy summer recently welcoming legendary R&B group New Edition on his popular SiriusXM radio show, along with visiting the Essence Festival of Culture to meet up and interview a range of other celebrated Black musicians and talent. Heart & Soul regularly features in-depth interviews with Black music talent while spinning adult R&B hits from yesterday and today.
"I'm a longtime fan of New Edition," said Cayman Kelly. "Their work is epic and super important because they've made lasting contributions to the advancement of American music, while bringing joy and hope to listeners everywhere. No doubt about that. Plus, you know, it was a blast – it's New Edition! I got to hang out with ALL 6 of the guys! It's surreal to me that the guys I grew up listening to are now my friends! How crazy is that?!"
Originally formed by Bobby Brown in 1978 with Ricky Bell, Michael Bivins, Ronnie DeVoe, and Ralph Tresvant, New Edition reached the absolute heights of musical popularity in the 1980s, with their first album – scoring hits like "Is This the End," "Popcorn Love," and "Candy Girl."
New Edition went on to secure its place in history with other important songs like "Cool It Now," and "Telephone Man," before becoming certified double platinum in the United States. Evolving through the years – despite a series of management controversies, interpersonal setbacks, and band-member shifts – New Edition remains one of the most significant African American groups to come out of the 1980s American R&B boom.
We talked about all of the above, while taking a trip down memory lane up to present times. We played all of the hits from the group and the group in their various iterations as solo artists and beyond. The interview can be accessed On-Demand on the SXM App.
"During another show in New Orleans for the Essence Festival of Culture, I interviewed other great Black talent too, like Tank," said Kelly. "I've known Tank for a long time – been following his career since the beginning. He's a fantastic guy. Tank released some new music you have to check out: 'Slow.' Pretty steamy stuff, but definitely a hit in the making."
"And during the festival, Tamar Braxton also stopped by for a chat. While later, Bobby Brown and his whole family gave us a visit to talk about their new ventures that include their new series on A&E and the Bobby Brown Foods Company. They've all been supporters of the show as past guests – so it was just really meeting up with old friends. Especially since this was the first live Essence festival since the pandemic started. We were all happy to be back."
"I also wanted to give a shout-out to some other artists we spoke with like Rotimi, Kim Fields, Sherri Shepherd, and Earthquake. Rotimi has a new album everyone should be listening to, 'All or Nothing.' And Sherri is starting a new talk show coming this Fall. Kim is on Netflix with 'The Upshaws,' and Earthquake is one of my voiceover brothers and SXM family, as well as fellow Washingtonian, not to mention one of my favorite comedians, now has a standup comedy special produced by Dave Chappelle on Netflix as well."
"My show on Heart & Soul has allowed me to meet and speak with a whole range of Black talent, from Academy Award-winning actors to legends in music, TV, and comedy," said Kelly. "It's certainly a privilege and a lot of fun. But during times like now, I'm also reminded of how crucial this work really is for the future. Because it allows me to help amplify the message of each of these artists and, by doing so, encourage a whole new generation of listeners."

West Ham announced the signing of Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo for £35 million, but Eurosport Italy have cautioned there is much for him to prove in England.
The 23-year-old arrives in England having recorded his best goalscoring haul of his career, notching 16 goals for his Serie A side.
Ad
He has taken an unusual route to his first big move, having moved to PSV Jong, the Dutch side’s second string team that plays in the Netherlands’ second division, and after return to Italy, he again had another spell in the country as he was loaned to PEC Zwolle.

Davide Bighiani of Eurosport Italy said there were plenty of unusual aspects to the 6’5” striker, but he had plenty to offer besides being a target man.
Bighiani warned: “When we talk about Scamacca we are talking about a guy who has in fact three full seasons as a starting player - one year in Serie B and two in Serie A - and only 42 career goals.
“If he manages to overcome the period of adaptation to the new championship unscathed, he could become an interesting player, since he combines his physicality with good technique.

- Popp and Mead on menu as Germany book 'great football feast' with England - The Warm-Up
- Ronaldo requests to be released from final year of Man Utd contract - Paper Round
“His physicality will probably allow him to adapt more easily to the English championship: moreover he is a striker who does not play only for the goal but for the team.”
With Jarrod Bowen the main striker at the London Stadium, Scamacca could be used not just as a central striker but could also play a more creative role.
“Scamacca is certainly a central striker who knows how to score goals in every way: with his head for sure, but also in acrobatics and from outside the box, “ Bighiani writes. "But he's not a typical number nine, he can start further back too."
Bighiani also pointed out that his time in the Netherlands was in fact quite brief.
“Scamacca has already had two experiences abroad: one in the youth teams of PSV and one in PEC Zwolle but very fleeting,” he explained. “Paradoxically, he has accumulated more international football experience with the youth jerseys of Italy, with which he made the whole process, starting from the U15 up to the senior national team. He is still to be tested on international grounds at club level.”

Sri Lankan court orders police to produce Rs 17.8 million found inside President’s House
- Country:
- Sri Lanka
A Sri Lankan court on Thursday asked the police to immediately produce Rs 17.8 million cash found by anti-government protesters when they stormed the President's House occupied by the then President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.
The Fort Magistrate's Court here instructed the Fort Police officer in charge to produce the money after the police informed the court that the amount was handed over to them by protesters who found the money inside the President's House on July 9.
Rajapaksa was evacuated from the President's House much before the protesters stormed the iconic building and occupied it.
The order comes as no report on the money was submitted to the court even after three weeks since Rs 17.8 million was handed over to the police, the Daily Mirror newspaper quoted Fort Magistrate Thilina Gamage as saying.
Gamage also ordered the police to submit a report on the recovered money.
Hundreds of anti-government protesters on July 9 stormed President Rajapaksa's residence in central Colombo's high-security Fort area after breaking the barricades, as they demanded his resignation over the island nation's worst economic crisis in recent memory.
Amidst the unprecedented anti-government protests, President Rajapaksa fled the country on July 13 to the Maldives. He then travelled to Singapore from where he emailed his resignation letter.
Meanwhile, four men arrested for unlawfully entering the President's House on July 9 were released on a personal bail of Rs. 500,000 each.
The suspects were arrested after a video was shared on social media showing the protesters counting the currency notes that were unearthed.
Sri Lanka, a country of 22 million people, is under the grip of an unprecedented economic turmoil, the worst in seven decades, crippled by an acute shortage of foreign exchange that has left it struggling to pay for essential imports of fuel, and other essentials.
The country, with an acute foreign currency crisis that resulted in foreign debt default, had announced in April that it is suspending nearly USD 7 billion foreign debt repayment due for this year out of about USD 25 billion due through 2026.
Sri Lanka's total foreign debt stands at USD 51 billion.

NeuroSense Therapeutics and NeuraLight Collaborate to Detect ALS Oculometric Biomarkers Using AI and ML
- NeuraLight's platform technology uses computer vision, artificial intelligence (AI), deep learning algorithms, and machine learning (ML) to identify and track oculometric digital biomarkers to transform clinical development, diagnostics, and precision medicine in neurology
- The NeuroSense-NeuraLight collaboration entails sharing and tracking patient data to advance the identification and use of ALS digital biomarkers
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., AUSTIN, TX, and TEL AVIV, Israel, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NeuroSense Therapeutics Ltd. (NASDAQ: NRSN) ("NeuroSense"), a company developing treatments for severe neurodegenerative diseases, and NeuraLight, a company developing objective and sensitive biomarkers for neurological disorders, today announced a collaboration to advance the science of digital biomarkers in the detection and monitoring of neurological diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
NeuraLight's platform, uses proprietary computer vision and deep learning algorithms to extract over 100 occulometic markers from facial videos captured with a standard webcam. NeuroSense is conducting a Phase IIb PARADIGM trial, which is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy of NeuroSense's lead combination drug candidate, PrimeC, in the treatment of ALS. The NeuroSense-NeuraLight collaboration entails sharing and tracking patient data to advance the identification and use of ALS digital biomarkers in a parallel study conducted by NeuraLight. This collaboration marks NeuraLight's first clinical trial and comes on the heels of NeuraLight's $25M Series A raise.
"There is compelling value in the use of precise biomarkers to diagnose and track the progression of neurodegenerative diseases. We are very pleased to work with the stellar team at NeuraLight who are pioneering the development of digital oculometric biomarkers, which complement our extensive evaluation of biological markers of ALS," said NeuroSense CEO Alon Ben-Noon. "We believe these tools have the potential to enable patient stratification and increase the likelihood of success in a future NeuroSense pivotal trial of PrimeC in the treatment of ALS. This is a first step in what we envision as a long-term collaboration with NeuraLight in ALS as well as future studies we plan for Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease."
Dr. Rivka Kreitman, NeuraLight's Chief Innovation Officer, commented, "Along with advancing a promising therapy for ALS, we look forward to demonstrating that oculometrics serve as a robust proxy for the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Functional Rating Scale (ALSFRS) through this partnership. The validation of our technology's efficacy will improve success rates of trials moving forward – ensuring objectivity, reliability, and replicability, as well as reducing costs and friction."
About ALS
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disease that causes complete paralysis and death within 2-5 years of diagnosis. In the US alone, over 5,000 patients are diagnosed yearly with ALS, and researchers anticipate the number of ALS patients in the US to grow 24 percent by 2040. The cause of ALS is unknown, making it difficult for researchers to develop disease-modifying therapies for the neurodegenerative disease.
About PrimeC
PrimeC, NeuroSense's lead drug candidate is a combination therapy that was granted Orphan Drug Designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA). NeuroSense completed a Phase IIa clinical study which successfully met its safety and efficacy endpoints including reducing functional and respiratory deterioration and statistically significant changes in ALS-related biological markers indicating PrimeC's biological activity. Through a collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston on novel Neuron-Derived Exosomes (NDEs), NeuroSense is working to further determine the biological changes in ALS-related pathologies and the effect of PrimeC on relevant targets. Results from this study are expected Q2 2022.

Like England, Germany have conceded just one goal all tournament with Alexandra Popp continuing her impressive form by finding the back of the net twice in their 2-1 semi-final victory against France.
Popp became the only player to score in five consecutive matches at a European Championships and Germany have won the tournament a record eight times.
One of those wins was at Euro 2009 when they beat England 6-2. However, Wiegman knows her side have a chance to make history.
“We have confidence in this team, our players stay calm and stick with the plan,” said Wiegman. “We spoke about scenarios and sometimes things go well and sometimes things don't. We can count on each other and our task and then come back into the team.
“We said we're ready to write history and this is it."

Special CBI court holds autorickshaw driver Lakhan Verma, accomplice guilty in Dhanbad Judge Uttam Anad murder case
A special CBI court in Dhanbad on Thursday held autorickshaw driver Lakhan Verma and his accomplice Rahul Verma guilty in connection with Judge Uttam Anand's murder case a year after he was killed.
The special CBI court Judge Rajnikant Pathak held Lakhan Verma and Rahul Verma guilty in connection with the murder of Additional Sessions Judge Anand on July 28 last year.
Trial in the murder case of judge Anand began in February this year.
The charges against the accused were framed under IPC sections 302 (murder), 201 (causing disappearance of evidence of offense, or giving false information to protect offender) and 34 (common intention).
The 49-year-old judge was run over by an autorickshaw while he was out on a morning jog on July 28, 2021.
CCTV camera footage showed that judge Anand was jogging on one side of a fairly wide road at Randhir Verma Chowk in Dhanbad when the auto-rickshaw veered towards him, hit him from behind and fled the scene, killing him.
The case was handed over to the CBI by the Jharkhand government.

- Q2 marked the fourth consecutive quarter of institutional crypto trading on Okcoin growing more than 2x
- Okcoin's institutional clientele grew 13% in Q2, 28% in the first half of 2022
- Institutions are buying dollar-backed stablecoins 3x more than in the 2018 bear market
SAN FRANCISCO, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Okcoin, one of the world's largest and fastest-growing cryptocurrency platforms, today reported a 125% increase in institutional trading volume from Q1 to Q2 2022, the fourth consecutive quarter of institutional trading activity more than doubling. Okcoin's clientele—which includes traditional finance trading firms, prime brokers, asset managers, venture and hedge funds, and more—grew by 13% in Q2 and by 28% in the first half of 2022. Besides bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH), stablecoins tether (USDT) and circle (USDC) were the most popular among institutions in Q2, with purchases of USDT increasing by 116% and USDC increasing by 47% from Q1.
In the first half of 2022, stablecoins accounted for 33% of asset buys and bitcoin for 40%, amidst a bear market whereby the crypto market value declined over 60%. This is a marked difference in institutional activity from the previous prolonged bear market, which lasted from 2018 to 2020. Institutions held outsized BTC positions during that time, with stablecoins accounting for just 6% of purchases during the lowest six-month period whereby the crypto market value declined 70%. During the most volatile periods of this recent market downturn, the Okcoin exchange systems experienced 100% uptime and no disruptions to client trading.
"Despite the market downturn, institutional activity on Okcoin continues to reflect increasing crypto interest and greater sector maturity," said Jason Lau, COO of Okcoin. "Whereas in 2018 we saw institutions liquidate their crypto holdings in response to the bear market, nearly all of our clients are seeking greater exposure this time around and taking a longer term view. Further, in 2018, the institutions that did stay in the market focused almost exclusively on trading bitcoin, deeming stablecoins and other altcoins too much of an additional risk. In 2022, they're trading dollar-backed stablecoins almost as much as bitcoin — likely considering them to be 'risk-off' crypto assets, given their lesser volatility."
Since receiving its ISDA membership in the spring of 2022, Okcoin has been working on ISDA contract negotiations with institutional clients and developing NDF and options products set to be launched later this year. Bilateral OTC derivatives are in demand by traditional institutional clients who cannot hold crypto on their balance sheets, but still want to gain crypto exposure for hedging or speculation.

End 'double standard approach' on refugees, UN expert urges Poland
Some people fleeing the war have been from third countries, often in the Middle East, Asia or Africa, who had been studying or working in Ukraine at the time of the invasion. "I note with concern that this double standard approach has led to feelings of being discriminated among third country nationals," Morales said in a statement following a trip to Poland and Belarus on July 12-25.
Polish authorities must stop locking up migrants near the Belarus border and put an end to their "very different" treatment of Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian refugees, the U.N. Special Rapporteur on migrants' rights said on Thursday. Felipe Gonzalez Morales praised the actions of Polish authorities and citizens who have given protection and assistance to over 2 million Ukrainian refugees and lodged them in their homes since the start of Russia's invasion in February.
But non-Ukrainian nationals fleeing that country have faced difficulties obtaining residence permits and proper shelter and have not enjoyed the same legal protections, he said. Some people fleeing the war have been from third countries, often in the Middle East, Asia or Africa, who had been studying or working in Ukraine at the time of the invasion.
"I note with concern that this double standard approach has led to feelings of being discriminated among third-country nationals," Morales said in a statement following a trip to Poland and Belarus on July 12-25. The Polish border guard and the government were not immediately available for comment on the matter.
As well as the war in Ukraine, Poland has also faced efforts by tens of thousands of migrants since mid-2021 to breach its border with Belarus to get into the European Union. Most of them are from the Middle East and Afghanistan. That crisis prompted Poland to set up an emergency zone, build a steel border barrier and introduce a campaign of pushback.
Morales said these migrants were "routinely" being locked up in de facto detention centres in Poland near the border, including children, in violation of international humanitarian law. He said he had personally visited one of the centres and had seen dozens of family members with children lodged there. "I also called on Poland to use migratory detention as a measure of last resort to discontinue the practice of migratory detention of children," he told a virtual press briefing.
"I urge relevant authorities to immediately release unaccompanied children, children with their families, pregnant women and individuals with mental conditions into open facilities," he said.

OLD REPUBLIC REPORTS RESULTS FOR THE SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF 2022
CHICAGO, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
Old Republic International Corporation (NYSE: ORI) today reported pretax income, excluding investment gains (losses), of $262.8 for the quarter and $500.4 for the first six months of 2022. The decline compared to the 2021 periods is within expectations, with General Insurance pretax operating income increasing nearly 12%, while the effect of increasing mortgage interest rates reduced Title Insurance results. Both General Insurance and Title Insurance produced solid underwriting results that drove a consolidated combined ratio of 90.9% and 91.4% for the quarter and first six months of 2022, respectively.
Consolidated net premiums and fees earned were relatively consistent for the quarter, with General Insurance net earned premiums growing 8.8%, offset by a 7.1% decline in Title Insurance net premiums and fees as a result of lower revenues in both direct and agency operations. For the first six months, consolidated net premiums and fees earned were up 2.0%, reflecting growth in General Insurance of 7.4%, partially offset by a 2.3% decline in Title Insurance. Net investment income increased slightly in both 2022 periods, reflecting growth in the invested asset base, offset by lower investment yields earned.
Book value per share was $20.99 as of June 30, 2022, reflecting declining fair market values in both the fixed income and equity portfolios, partially offset by operating earnings. With the addition of dividends declared during the first six months, this was a decrease of 5.8% over year-end 2021.
Old Republic's business is managed for the long run. In this context management's key objectives are to achieve highly profitable operating results over the long term, and to ensure balance sheet strength for the primary needs of the insurance subsidiaries' underwriting and related services business. In this view, the evaluation of periodic and long-term results excludes consideration of all investment gains (losses). Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), however, net income, inclusive of investment gains (losses), is the measure of total profitability.
In management's opinion, the focus on income excluding investment gains (losses), also described herein as segment pretax operating income (loss), provides a better way to analyze, evaluate, and establish accountability for the results of the insurance operations. The inclusion of realized investment gains (losses) in net income can mask trends in operating results, because such realizations are often highly discretionary. Similarly, the inclusion of unrealized investment gains (losses) in equity securities can further distort such operating results with significant period-to-period fluctuations.
We believe the information presented in the following table highlights the most meaningful indicators of ORI's segmented and consolidated financial performance. The information underscores the performance of our underwriting operations, as well as our sound investment of the capital and underwriting cash flows from these operations.
General Insurance net premiums earned increased 8.8% and 7.4% for the quarter and first six months, respectively, with rising premiums in all major lines of coverage. Premium rate increases for most lines of coverage, high renewal retention ratios, and new business production all contributed. Net investment income decreased in both 2022 periods, reflecting lower investment yields earned, partially offset by growth in the invested asset base.
The reported loss ratio for General Insurance improved in the quarter, inclusive of favorable reserve development from prior periods and a lower current period loss provision, attributable to several years of premium rate increases, underwriting actions, and a shift in the line of coverage mix. Favorable development of 1.9% was lower in the quarter with continued favorable development in the commercial auto and workers' compensation lines of coverage, partially offset by unfavorable development in the financial indemnity line of coverage.
The second quarter and first six month expense ratios were elevated compared to the same periods last year, generally reflecting the shift in line of coverage mix, and an increase in employee related costs. Investments in new products and geographies in recent years have diversified the General Insurance business, resulting in shifts in the lines of coverage mix toward lines with higher expense ratios and lower current period loss ratios.
Together, these factors produced highly profitable combined ratios and greater pretax operating income for the periods reported.
The following table shows recent annual and interim periods' loss ratios and the effects of loss development trends:
Quarterly and annual loss ratios and trends may not be indicative of future outcomes for a business with relatively long claim payment patterns. We target combined ratios between 90% and 95%, and based on our historical line of coverage mix, a loss ratio average in the high 60% to low 70% range, and an expense ratio average of 25%. These components of the combined ratio will continue to reflect the line of coverage mix.
Title Insurance net premiums and fees earned declined by 7.1% and 2.3% for the second quarter and first six months, respectively. Both directly produced and agency produced revenues declined during the quarter, and it is expected that such revenues will be lower throughout the year when compared to the same periods last year. The main driver of these trends is increasing mortgage interest rates which continue to significantly reduce refinance activity. Housing prices remained firm, although the effect of increasing mortgage interest rates may reduce purchase activity in the remainder of the year. An uptick in commercial transaction activity resulted in strong commercial premium growth during the quarter and first six month periods. Net investment income increased slightly in both 2022 periods, reflecting growth in the invested asset base, offset by lower investment yields earned.
Title Insurance's loss ratios were relatively consistent for the quarter and first six months. The second quarter and first six month's expense ratios were elevated compared to the same periods last year, generally reflecting the combination of lower directly produced revenues that carry higher fixed expenses, along with a greater proportion of agency produced revenues that have a higher overall expense ratio.
Together, these factors produced highly profitable combined ratios and lower pretax operating income for the periods reported.
The following table shows recent annual and interim periods' loss ratios and the effects of loss development trends:
Pretax operating results of RFIG Run-off reflect the continuing drop in net earned premiums in line with the declining risk in force, and significantly lower loss costs compared to the 2021 periods. Net investment income decreased in both 2022 periods, reflecting a declining invested asset base, and lower investment yields earned. Extraordinary dividends of $35.0 and $70.0 were paid to the parent company during the second quarter and first six months, respectively. Loss costs reflect fewer newly reported delinquencies along with improving trends in cure rates, influenced by a relatively strong real estate market.
Together, these factors produced greater pretax operating income for the periods reported.
The following table shows recent annual and interim periods' loss ratios and the effects of loss development trends:
This segment includes a small life and accident insurance business and the net costs associated with the parent holding company and several internal corporate services subsidiaries. The segment tends to produce highly variable results stemming from volatility inherent from the lack of scale. Interest expense increased related to the issuance of $650 million of debt late in the second quarter of 2021, partially offset by net investment income from a higher level of investments.
Old Republic's invested assets portfolio is directed in consideration of enterprise-wide risk management objectives. Most importantly, these are intended to ensure solid funding of the insurance subsidiaries' long-term claim payment obligations to policyholders and their beneficiaries, as well as the long-term stability of the subsidiaries' capital base. For these reasons, the investment portfolio does not contain high risk or illiquid asset classes and has zero or extremely limited exposure to, collateralized debt obligations (CDO's), credit default and interest rate swaps, hybrid securities, asset-backed securities (ABS), guaranteed investment contracts (GIC), structured investment vehicles (SIV), auction rate variable short-term securities, limited partnerships, derivatives, hedge funds or private equity investments. Moreover, the Company does not engage in hedging or securities lending transactions, nor does it invest in securities whose values are predicated on non-regulated financial instruments exhibiting amorphous or unfunded counter-party risk attributes.
As of June 30, 2022, the consolidated investment portfolio reflected an allocation of approximately 74% to fixed income (bonds and notes) and short-term investments, and 26% to equity securities (common stock). During the quarter, we continued to reduce our equity holdings and reinvest the proceeds in fixed income securities. The fixed income portfolio continues to be the anchor for the insurance underwriting subsidiaries' obligations. The maturities of our fixed income assets are matched to the expected liabilities for claim payment obligations to policyholders and their beneficiaries. The quality of the investment portfolio remains at high levels.
A significant portion of our investable funds have been directed toward high-quality common stocks of U.S. companies (currently limited to fewer than 100 issues). We favor those with long-term records of reasonable earnings growth and steadily increasing dividends. Pursuant to our enterprise risk management guidelines and controls, we perform regular stress tests of the equities portfolio to gain reasonable assurance that periodic downdrafts in market prices would not seriously undermine our financial strength and the long-term continuity and prospects of our insurance underwriting business.
Changes in shareholders' equity per share are reflected in the following table. As shown, these resulted mostly from net income excluding net investment gains (losses), realized and unrealized investment gains (losses), and dividend payments to shareholders.
Managing Old Republic's Insurance Business for the Long-Run
The insurance business is distinguished from most others in that the prices (premiums) charged for most products are set without knowing what the ultimate loss costs will be. We also can't know exactly when claims will be paid, which may be many years after a policy was issued or expired. This casts Old Republic as a risk-taking enterprise managed for the long run. Old Republic therefore conducts the business with a primary focus on achieving favorable underwriting results over cycles, and on maintaining a sound financial condition to support our subsidiaries' long-term obligations to policyholders and their beneficiaries.
The Company is managed for the long run and with little regard for quarterly or even annual reporting periods. These time frames are too short. Management believes results are best evaluated by looking at underwriting and overall operating performance trends over 10-year intervals. These likely include one or two economic and/or underwriting cycles. This provides enough time for these cycles to run their course, for underwriting and premium rate changes to appear in financial results, and for reserved loss costs to be quantified with greater certainty.

Safe Harbor Statement
Historical data pertaining to the operating results, liquidity, and other performance indicators applicable to an insurance enterprise such as Old Republic are not necessarily indicative of results to be achieved in succeeding years. In addition to the factors cited below, the long-term nature of the insurance business, seasonal and annual patterns in premium production and incidence of claims, changes in yields obtained on invested assets, changes in government policies and free markets affecting inflation rates and general economic conditions, and changes in legal precedents or the application of law affecting the settlement of disputed and other claims can have a bearing on period-to-period comparisons and future operating results. It is possible that Old Republic's operating results, business and financial condition could be adversely affected in subsequent periods by future economic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated governmental responses.
Some of the oral or written statements made in the Company's reports, press releases, and conference calls following earnings releases, can constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any such forward-looking statements involve assumptions, uncertainties, and risks that may affect the Company's future performance. With regard to Old Republic's General Insurance segment, its results can be particularly affected by the level of market competition, which is typically a function of available capital and expected returns on such capital among competitors, the levels of investment yields and inflation rates, and periodic changes in claim frequency and severity patterns caused by natural disasters, weather conditions, accidents, illnesses, work-related injuries, and unanticipated external events. Title Insurance and RFIG Run-off results can be affected by similar factors, and by changes in national and regional housing demand and values, the availability and cost of mortgage loans, employment trends, and default rates on mortgage loans. Life and accident insurance earnings can be affected by the levels of employment and consumer spending, changes in mortality and health trends, and alterations in policy lapsation rates. At the parent holding company level, operating earnings or losses are generally reflective of the amount of debt outstanding and its cost, interest income on temporary holdings of short-term investments, and period-to-period variations in the costs of administering the Company's widespread operations.
General Insurance, Title Insurance, Corporate & Other, and RFIG Run-off maintain customer information and rely upon technology platforms to conduct their business. As a result, each of them and the Company are exposed to cyber risk. Many of the Company's operating subsidiaries maintain separate IT systems which are deemed to reduce enterprise-wide risks of potential cybersecurity incidents. However, given the potential magnitude of a significant breach, the Company continually evaluates on an enterprise-wide basis its IT hardware, security infrastructure and business practices to respond to these risks and to detect and remediate in a timely manner significant cybersecurity incidents or business process interruptions.
A more detailed listing and discussion of the risks and other factors which affect the Company's risk-taking insurance business are included in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors, of the Company's 2021 Form 10-K Annual Report filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which is specifically incorporated herein by reference.
Any forward-looking statements or commentaries speak only as of their dates. Old Republic undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any and all such comments, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, and accordingly they may not be unduly relied upon.

Mediation by ex-judges to resolve property dispute failed, Lalit Modi, his mother Bina Modi to SC
- Country:
- India
Businessman and former IPL head Lalit Modi and his mother Bina Modi Thursday told the Supreme Court that the apex court-mandated mediation to resolve a long pending property dispute in the family has failed and urged that the case be adjudicated upon here.
A bench headed by Chief Justice N V Ramana, however, asked senior lawyers including Harish Salve and A M Singhvi, appearing for Lalit Modi, and Kapil Sibal and Mukul Rohatgi, for his mother Bina Modi, to explore the possibility of resolution of the dispute again and intimate it.
The top court, on December 16, last year, had taken the consent of rival parties to the family property dispute and had appointed former apex court judges – Justices Vikramjit Sen and Kurian Joseph – to mediate and help the Modis to find an amicable solution. The bench, also comprising justices Krishna Murari and Hima Kohli was hearing Lalit Modi’s appeal against the judgement of a division bench of the Delhi High Court that the anti-arbitration injunction lawsuit filed by Bina Modi, wife of late industrialist K K Modi, against her son is maintainable. Salve, appearing for Lalit Modi, said ''I have a report from mediators. There is a report saying that the mediation has failed. Let us get on with the matter.'' On the other side, Sibal raised preliminary objections saying ''there is a trust and the dispute relates to trust. It has been held in several judgements that trust disputes cannot be decided through arbitrations.'' Rohatgi also objected to the filing of the appeal by UK-based Lalit Modi through his power of attorney.
''These relate to the merits of the cases. We will deal with these as well,'' the bench said. After hearing brief submissions, the bench adjourned the matter to next week and asked the lawyers to take instructions on solving the dispute amicably. Earlier, the bench had appointed the mediators and asked them to try to resolve the dispute. ''Ultimately both parties have agreed to mediation under Judges Vikramjit Sen and Kurian Joseph. We suggest parties use the facilities of the Mediation Centre in Hyderabad. They can request online mediation.
''We direct parties to maintain confidentiality and request mediators to take undertakings. Mediation to expedite proceedings preferably within a period of three months,'' the bench had said.
A lawsuit had earlier been filed by Bina Modi. It sought to restrain the arbitration proceedings initiated by Lalit Modi, a founder of the Indian Premier League (IPL), in Singapore over the dispute.
The apex court had earlier suggested mediation to the parties and asked them to give names of mediators of their choice.
In December 2020, the division bench of the high court held that it has the jurisdiction to decide Bina Modi's plea challenging Lalit Modi's move to initiate arbitration proceedings in Singapore.
The division bench had set aside the judgement of a single judge of the high court, which had said it does not have the jurisdiction to adjudicate the anti-arbitration injunction suits filed by Lalit Modi's mother Bina, his sister Charu and brother Samir and they are open to taking such pleas before the arbitral tribunal in Singapore.
The single judge had said an anti-arbitration injunction suit does not lie, so the pleas are not maintainable, and dismissed the matter.
Bina, Charu, and Samir, in two separate suits, contended that there was a trust deed between the family members and the K K Modi family trust matters cannot be settled through arbitration in a foreign country according to Indian laws.
They have sought a permanent injunction restraining Lalit Modi from prosecuting or continuing with the application for emergency measures and any arbitration proceedings against them in Singapore.
The division bench, in its judgement passed on December 24, 2020, had said the subject dispute ought to have been prime facie adjudicated by a single judge, who had to exercise the jurisdiction vested in the court as all the parties are Indian citizens and ‘situs’ of immovable assets of the trust is in India.
The division bench had remanded two civil suits to the single judge for further proceedings, in accordance with the law, from the stage of issuance of summons and directed the registry to list them for hearing.
According to the case, the trust deed was executed in London by K K Modi as settlor/managing trustee and Bina, Lalit, Charu, and Samir as trustees, and in pursuance of an oral family settlement was recorded between them on February 10, 2006.
K K Modi died on November 2, 2019, after which the dispute emerged amongst the trustees.
Lalit Modi contended that after the demise of his father, in view of the lack of unanimity amongst the trustees regarding the sale of trust assets, a sale of all assets of the trust has been triggered and distribution to beneficiaries has to occur within one year thereof, the single judge had noted.
His mother and the two siblings contended that on a true construction of the trust deed, no such sale has been triggered.

Quality One Officially Acquires Veteran Telematics Firm Q-Matics, LLC
ORLANDO, Fla., July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Quality One Wireless (Q1, LLC), a global leader in wireless distribution, fulfillment, product aggregation, device engineering, and forward & reverse logistics that serves all major Tier 1 wireless carriers as well as many Tier 2 carriers and major MVNOs, is excited to announce the complete acquisition of telematics service provider Q-Matics, LLC.
With a core belief that every mile matters, Q-Matics' turn key Fleet GPS™ tracking system is the backbone of its automated fleet management software, capturing the data needed to automate and manage fleets entirely remotely. Its system's easy to view Driver Reports and Downloadable data (which include statistics such as Driver Score, Drive time, Distance, Hard Braking, Excessive Acceleration, Cornering Speed, and Geofence Trip Idle) provide mechanisms to compare individual drivers against the fleet with pinpoint accuracy. Further, its Driver Score Command Center allows drivers to manage themselves and track their progress over time.
Quality One had been previously had a partial stake in Q-Matics for several years, but the development of the marketplace and the opportunity that it represents caused Quality One to make a bid to completely acquire the organization, and integrate it entirely into the rest of Q1's product and service offerings.
"The growth we've seen in the telematics and tracking industries over the course of the past few years, with specific emphasis on it increasing acceptance in not only fleet tracking capacities but in the consumer-driven applications that accelerated throughout the pandemic made the wholesale acquisition of Q-Matics extremely attractive to us," said Quality One Chief Executive Officer John Chiorando. "We are looking forward to truly expanding this business, and thread it in to everything we do here at Quality One".
Q-Matics President Peter Giasante agreed, saying "Telematics tracking and automation has been an exciting field for years now, but the pandemic just accelerated adoption of these technologies to a previously unheard-of level. Having Q-Matics fully join Quality One will do nothing but help us reach our current clientele and expand into more markets faster and with more quality".
While Q-Matics has been completely acquired by Quality One, it will continue to operate as its own entity.

India on Chinese vessel's planned visit to Sri Lanka: will safeguard interests
Shipping data from Refinitiv Eikon showed research and survey vessel Yuan Wang 5 was en route to the southern Sri Lankan port and was expected to get there on Aug. 11. "The government carefully monitors any developments having a bearing on India's security and economic interests, and takes all necessary measures to safeguard them," India's foreign ministry spokesperson, Arindam Bagchi, told a weekly media briefing.
India, which is trying to expand its influence in Sri Lanka amid the island's economic troubles and is worried that China is also making inroads, said on Thursday it was aware of reports about the planned visit of a Chinese vessel to Sri Lanka's Hambantota port, which was built with money from Beijing. Shipping data from Refinitiv Eikon showed research and survey vessel Yuan Wang 5 was en route to the southern Sri Lankan port and was expected to get there on Aug. 11.
"The government carefully monitors any developments having a bearing on India's security and economic interests, and takes all necessary measures to safeguard them," India's foreign ministry spokesperson, Arindam Bagchi, told a weekly media briefing. "I think that should be a clear message."
He did not say what measures India was taking and who the message was addressed to. China's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Sri Lankan officials could not immediately be reached for comment.
A Sri Lankan government official told Reuters on condition of anonymity that Indian diplomats in Colombo lodged a verbal protest with the Sri Lankan foreign ministry on Monday. A Sri Lankan consulting firm, the Belt & Road Initiative Sri Lanka, says on its website that Yuan Wang 5 will be in Hambantota for a week.
"The vessel will conduct space tracking, satellite control and research tracking in the north-western part of the Indian Ocean region through August and September," it says https://brisl.org/chinas-major-scientific-research-vessel-in-hambantota-port, without citing a source. Sri Lanka formally handed over commercial activities in its main southern port to a Chinese company in 2017 on a 99-year lease after struggling to repay its debt. The port is near the main shipping route from Asia to Europe.
U.S. and Indian officials have worried that the $1.5 billion port could become a Chinese military base. China is one of Sri Lanka's biggest lenders, but as the island nation faces its worst economic crisis in seven decades, India this year alone has provided it support of nearly $4 billion.
India's concerns come amid tensions with China elsewhere. U.S. President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping will hold their fifth call as leaders on Thursday, as concerns rise over a possible visit to Chinese-claimed Taiwan by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
Taiwan's military fired flares on Thursday to warn away a drone that "glanced by" a strategically-located and heavily fortified island close to the Chinese coast that was possibly probing its defences, the Taiwanese Defence Ministry said.

People are being warned to stay away from the South Devon area surrounding Bolberry "for the foreseeable" after a wildfire has filled the air with smoke. A video posted by Kingsbridge Fire Station shows the aftermath of the latest cliff top fire, which has been reigniting for two months.
Writing along the video, they said: "Once again, along with colleagues from multiple stations throughout Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, we are at the scene of gorse & heathland fire on the cliff side.
"As you can see in the video, conditions are very changeable here and not a suitably respirable for walks and exercise. Please keep house windows closed and stay well clear of the area for the foreseeable."

A spokesperson for Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service says the fire has been continually reigniting for two months with heat and dry ground thought to be to blame. Due to the location of the fire, crews have been unable to extinguish the fire using usual methods.
A helicopter provided by the National Trust was called on to assist in dampening down the flames by pouring water onto the difficult to reach areas. A fire service statement said: "The fire last night is a continuation of the fire that has been flaring up sporadically since 28 May. We have three fire appliances and three water bowsers at the scene today to help prevent the fire spreading to the coastal path.
"Due to the location being on the side of a steep cliff, we are unable to extinguish the fire using our usual methods. We recently advised the National Trust to bring in a commercial helicopter to help dampen down the flames which helped the situation.
"However, we are not able to send over firefighters to fully extinguish the hotspots, particularly as there is no risk to life or property from the fire."

Barnstaple locals have called on the powers that be for immediate change amid news that the town has secured more than £500,000 to stamp out anti-social behaviour.
The funding is part of an extra £1.7 million fund to crack down on antisocial behaviour and violence against women and girls. The money for projects in Truro, Barnstaple and Torquay will come from the Home Office’s Safer Streets fund - with £348,632 provided by The Home Office and £179,126 of additional funding from the Police and Crime Commissioner and North Devon Council.
North Devon District Council announced they would use the funds to remove graffiti and improve street lighting and install new CCTV cameras. They also plan to create a new street marshal team to patrol the town as well as hire specialist staff to work with offenders. Training will be provided for school children and hospitality staff to stay safe in the town.

In North Devon, anti-social behaviour made up nearly 30% of all crimes committed in the region in 2021, with 3,435 reports filed between 2019-21. Locals told DevonLive the town had been blighted for years by drunk and disorderly behaviour, drug use, fly tipping and vandalism.
Keith Hendy of Alexander's, Boutport Street, said he witnesses anti-social behaviour in the town regularly and welcomes any action being taken.
He said: "Obviously, the funding is a good thing and a lot of people in the community have been asking for something to be done. Hopefully this new funding will change something, but we need to see these plans come in fruition. I know that there is going to be more street marshals, but there's no point having more people walking around when they don't have the power to move people along.
"It never used to be like this. If action had been taken when these problems started cropping up, we wouldn't be at this stage. The council is spending so much money doing up the town, but there are so many signs of anti-social behaviour that people won't want to come here if it isn't sorted."
Northcott Newsagents has had their shop window smashed three times since November 2021, setting them back over £30k of damages. A shopkeeper at Northcott Newsagents said the council was rejecting application to put up security shutters on the store due to the impact it would have on the visual appeal of the high street.
He said: "I don't know what to think. It annoys me because a system is already in place to deal with anti-social behaviour, and if people followed that system, we wouldn't need to use more money to fix it. A lot of this behaviour is from young people and I think it is important that they are educated about the impact of what they are doing, but nobody seems to want to deal with it."
"We've been broken into three times and the council have told us not to put shutters up. It looks even worse for the town to have our windows boarded up but we're not going to repair the windows if we know they are going to be smashed again a week later."
On the topic of shutters, Head of Place, Property and Regeneration at North Devon Council, Sarah-Jane Mackenzie-Shapland said: "If an external, solid security shutter is put onto shopfront it covers the whole of the windows and doors, and hides any visual interest and attraction. If all of the shops along the street have external solid security shutters, when these are closed it creates an environment that is uninteresting, unfriendly, and hostile."
“If certain premises are suffering from repeated attacks of vandalism and broken shop windows, then there are other ways of addressing these problems. For example, laminated glazing, stall-risers, and perforated internal shutters may all discourage this type of behaviour and we would be more than happy to discuss individual solutions with businesses."
Barnstaple Town Centre Manager, Hannah Harrington said: "Antisocial behaviour can have a devastating impact on people’s lives, not to mention the detrimental impact it can have on local businesses. We are thrilled to have secured this funding, which will help us to ensure Barnstaple is a place everyone enjoys and feels safe in. Our officers have been working hard to stamp out ASB in the town centre, but this additional funding will give us scope to make practical improvements to increase safety, as well as improving the look and feel of the town centre and providing educational programmes to change negative behaviours.
“The success of this bid is a great example of local partners working together and we will continue to work together with the police and PCC to reduce antisocial behaviour and crime. By taking a partnership approach, we aim to improve the quality of life and experience for all residents, businesses and visitors to Barnstaple town centre."
