(The Hill) – Reality-star-turned-criminal-reform-advocate Kim Kardashian bested Hillary Clinton in a legal knowledge trivia contest during filming for “Gutsy,” Clinton’s forthcoming documentary series on women with her daughter Chelsea Clinton, People reports.
The mother-daughter-duo sat down with Kardashian, who in December announced she had passed her first “baby bar” exam, to discuss her criminal justice work, which the former Democratic presidential nominee and secretary of State called “impressive.”
“She’s very self-aware that her celebrity can make a difference positively, and where it may make a negative difference,” Clinton said of the mogul.
Clinton added, “She never wants to make a negative difference, so being judicious and thoughtful about when and where and how she engages was really impressive to us. I want, even beyond this series, to do whatever I can to help her in that work.”
Kardashian showcased her “impressive” knowledge by winning the trivia contest, which consisted of questions on topics such as use of deadly force, 11-4.
Clinton, who has a law degree from Yale, jokingly said her loss was more than just humbling.
“Oh, it was heartbreaking!” she told People.
Chelsea Clinton defended her mother, saying her loss appeared to be a result of reaction time.
“Sometimes, I could see my mom knew what the answer was, but she wouldn’t hit the buzzer in time,” the writer and global health advocate said in a video clip published by People.
Clinton said she was also intrigued by how well Kardashian performed.
“Mom, you made a good effort,” Chelsea said.
Kardashian has used her celebrity status to bring attention to several cases, including pushing for the jailed father of a Uvalde, Texas, school shooting victim to be allowed to attend his child’s funeral in June.
“Gusty,” based on the Clintons’ 2019 book “The Book of Gutsy Women: Favorite Stories of Courage and Resilience,” is set to premiere Sept. 9. on Apple TV+. | https://www.wowktv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/kim-kardashian-beats-hillary-clinton-in-legal-knowledge-trivia-quiz/ | 2022-08-24 23:14:33 | 1 | https://www.wowktv.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/kim-kardashian-beats-hillary-clinton-in-legal-knowledge-trivia-quiz/ |
Amazon female facility leaders show high school girls world of STEM
By CRYSS WALKER
Click here for updates on this story
DETROIT, Michigan (WWJ) — Amazon’s top-performing facility in the country can count its success on the role women play in day-to-day operations.
Now, those women are dropping jewels to a group of girls from Regina High School to inspire them to study the world of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
“I love pulling the potential from people to help them become the best that they can be,” said Amazon Shelby Township Fulfillment Center Area Manager Marti Wawrzyniak.
“That gives me the motivation to keep going forward. I love being able to just engage people and drive them. Driving people to be a team makes us want to work better and hit what we want to hit and at the end of the day that’s fulfilling the customer’s order.”
Tuesday female leaders hosted a tour for inquiring minds, giving them a behind the scenes glimpse of what a day at work looks like.
With more than 1,000 employees, it takes a lot of manpower to get deliveries out, but site leaders say the power of women keeps the operation functioning.
“The processes and the way my brain works, I love numbers, I like science,” Wawrzyniak said.
“I like when you tell me that this is a theory, I can apply it and it works. There’s no if, ands, or buts behind it.”
Kennedy Roskopp is a junior at Regina High School.
She says the experience inspires her to explore stem education in her future endeavors.
“I’ve always liked math,” Roskopp said.
“I’ve always had an interest in it. I think like just seeing all the women and how they have like a big part in it, like it’s not like yeah, stem is a male dominated field, but they’re not looked at like less than. I totally think I can see myself working here just like one of them. I don’t think like just because I’m a woman I won’t be able to get it.”

Travelers who book early can enjoy 30 percent in bonus savings on all-inclusive fares starting at $2,990 per guest on cruises of 7, 10, 11, and 14 nights aboard the m/s Paul Gauguin, recently voted #1 Small-Ship Ocean Cruise Line by the discerning readers of Travel + Leisure.

"With new 2024 itineraries and maiden ports, together with unmatched experience and all-inclusive value, we are eager to showcase the beauty of the South Pacific to the world's most savvy travelers," said Navin Sawhney, CEO Americas for Paul Gauguin Cruises and PONANT (parent company of the line).

CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) — U.S. Rep. George Santos, infamous for fabricating his life story, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges he duped donors, stole from his campaign and lied to Congress about being a millionaire, all while cheating to collect unemployment benefits he didn’t deserve.
Afterward, he said he wouldn’t drop his reelection bid and defied calls to resign.
Santos’ 13-count federal indictment was a reckoning for a web of fraud and deceit that prosecutors say overlapped with the New York Republican’s fantastical public image as a wealthy businessman — a fictional biography that began to unravel after he won election last fall.
Santos, 34, was released on $500,000 bond following his arraignment, about five hours after turning himself in to face charges of wire fraud, money laundering, theft of public funds and making false statements to Congress. He surrendered his passport and could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
“This is the beginning of the ability for me to address and defend myself,” a cheerfully combative Santos told reporters swarming him outside a Long Island federal courthouse. He said he’s been cooperating with the investigation and vowed to fight the prosecution, which he labeled a “witch hunt.”
His lawyer, Joseph Murray, was more circumspect, saying: “Any time the federal government comes after you it’s a serious case. We have to take this serious.”
Santos said he planned to return to Washington, where the indictment is amplifying doubts about the freshman’s ability to serve. House Republican leaders are taking a wait-and-see approach, saying Santos is innocent until proven guilty. Others are reiterating previous calls for Santos to step aside.
“I think we’re seeing that the wheels of justice grind slow, but they grind fine,” said Sen. Mitt Romney, a Utah Republican who confronted Santos on the House floor at President Joe Biden’s State of the Union address in February.
Asked about Santos on Wednesday, Biden said, “I’m not commenting,” adding that anything he said would be construed by some interfering in the investigation. Asked if Congress should expel Santos, Biden said, “That’s for Congress to decide.”
Among the allegations, prosecutors say Santos created a company and then induced supporters to donate to it under the false pretense that the money would be used to support his campaign. Instead, they say, he used the money for personal expenses, including designer clothes and credit card and car payments.
Santos also is accused of lying about his finances on congressional disclosure forms and obtaining unemployment benefits while he was making $120,000 as regional director of an investment firm that the government shut down in 2021 over allegations that it was a Ponzi scheme.
The indictment “seeks to hold Santos accountable for various alleged fraudulent schemes and brazen misrepresentations,” U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said. “Taken together, the allegations in the indictment charge Santos with relying on repeated dishonesty and deception to ascend to the halls of Congress and enrich himself.”
Santos didn’t directly address the specifics of the charges to reporters, but when asked why he received unemployment benefits while employed, Santos cited a job change and confusion during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Santos, sporting his usual crewneck sweater, blazer and khakis, said little during the arraignment, which lasted about 15 minutes. Reporters spilled from the gallery to the jury box, joined by a handful of constituents.
“He should be thrown out of Congress and put in prison,” declared Jeff Herzberg, a Long Island resident who spent hours waiting to see Santos’ arraignment. “I hope that day comes soon.”
Santos was elected to Congress last fall after a campaign built partly on falsehoods. He told people he was a wealthy Wall Street dealmaker with a substantial real estate portfolio who had been a star volleyball player in college, among other things.
In reality, Santos didn’t work at the big financial firms he said employed him, didn’t go to college and struggled financially before entering politics. He claimed he fueled his run largely with self-made riches earned from brokering deals on expensive toys for wealthy clients, but the indictment alleges those boasts were also exaggerated.
In a House financial disclosure form, Santos reported making $750,000 a year from a family company, the Devolder Organization, but the charges unsealed Wednesday allege that Santos never received that sum, nor the $1 million and $5 million in dividends he listed as coming from the firm.
Santos has described the Devolder Organization as a broker for sales of luxury items like yachts and aircraft. The business was incorporated in Florida shortly after Santos stopped working for Harbor City Capital, the company accused by federal authorities of operating an illegal Ponzi scheme.
In November 2021, Santos formed Redstone Strategies, a Florida company that federal prosecutors say he used to dupe donors into financing his lifestyle. According to the indictment, Santos told an associate to solicit contributions to the company and gave the person contact information for potential donors.
Emails to prospective donors falsely claimed the company was formed “exclusively” to aid Santos’ election bid and that there would be no limits on how much they could contribute, the indictment said. Santos falsely claimed the money would be spent on television ads and other campaign expenses, it said.
But a month before his election, Santos transferred about $74,000 from the company to bank accounts he maintained, the indictment said. He also transferred money to some of his associates, it said.
Santos’ legal troubles date to his late teens, when he was investigated in Brazil for allegedly using stolen checks to buy clothes — a case that authorities say they’ve since reopened.
In 2017, Santos was charged with theft in Pennsylvania for allegedly using thousands of dollars in bogus checks to buy puppies from breeders. That case was dismissed after Santos claimed his checkbook was stolen and someone else took the dogs.
Federal authorities have separately been looking into complaints about Santos’ fundraising for a group that purported to help abused pets. A New Jersey veteran accused Santos of failing to deliver $3,000 he raised to help his dog get needed surgery.

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — Lizards that once dwelled in forests but now slink around urban areas have genetically morphed to survive life in the city, researchers have found.
The Puerto Rican crested anole, a brown lizard with a bright orange throat fan, has sprouted special scales to better cling to smooth surfaces like walls and windows and grown larger limbs to sprint across open areas, scientists say.
“We are watching evolution as it’s unfolding,” said Kristin Winchell, a biology professor at NYU and main author of the study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
As urbanization intensifies around the world, it’s important to understand how organisms adapt and humans can design cities in ways that support all species, Winchell said.
The study analyzed 96 Anolis cristatellus lizards, comparing the genetic makeup of forest-dwellers to those living in Puerto Rico’s capital, San Juan, as well as the northern city of Arecibo and western city of Mayaguez. Scientists found that 33 genes within the lizard genome were repeatedly associated with urbanization.
“You can hardly get closer to a smoking gun!” said Wouter Halfwerk, an evolutionary ecologist and professor at Vrije University Amsterdam who was not involved in the study.
He said he was impressed that the scientists were able to detect such a clear genomic signature of adaptation: “The ultimate goal within the field of urban adaptive evolution is to find evidence for heritable traits and their genomic architecture.”
Winchell said the lizards’ physical differences appeared to be mirrored at the genomic level.
“If urban populations are evolving with parallel physical and genomic changes, we may even be able to predict how populations will respond to urbanization just by looking at genetic markers,” she said.
The changes in these lizards, whose lifespans are roughly 7 years, can occur very quickly, within 30 to 80 generations, enabling them to escape from predators and survive in urban areas, Winchell added. The larger limbs, for example, enable them to run more quickly across a hot parking lot, and the special scales to hold onto surfaces far more smooth than trees.
“They can’t dig their claws into it. … (Or) squirrel around to the backside,” she noted.
The scientists chased after dozens of lizards for their study, catching them with their hands or using fishing poles with a tiny lasso to snag them.
“It takes some practice,” Winchell said.
On occasion, they had to ask permission to catch lizards off people’s homes.
Among Winchell’s favorite findings was a rare albino lizard. She also found a nearly 8-inch (20-centimeter) one, rather large for the species, that she nicknamed “Godzilla.”
The study focused on adult male lizards, so it’s unclear if females are changing in the same way or at the same rate as males, and at which point in a lizard’s life the changes are occurring.
Halfwerk, whose own research showed how one frog species changed its mating call in urban areas, said scientists should look next for possible constraints on the evolutionary response and how morphology relates to mating behavior.
“Ultimately, to cash in on adaptive traits for survival, they need to lead to higher reproduction,” he said. | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/science/ap-forest-lizards-genetically-morph-to-survive-life-in-the-city/ | 2023-01-11 06:12:50 | 0 | https://www.pahomepage.com/news/science/ap-forest-lizards-genetically-morph-to-survive-life-in-the-city/ |

WACO, Texas (FOX 44) – The new Showtime series, “Waco: The Aftermath,” looks at the events leading up to the siege at Mount Carmel or as some called it the Branch Davidian Compound.
The series focuses on what happened during the siege and how it influenced events after such as the Oklahoma City bombing that happened two years later.
The Dowdle brothers spent several years researching the Branch Davidian Compound to best represent it in the show.
They spoke with the FBI’s head of negotiations, Gary Noesne, theologians and also spent significant time looking through Baylor University’s archives.
After researching, the Dowdle’s found a gap in the message the public received in 1993.
Many, remember the scene as tanks versus a building. However, it was David Thibodeau’s book, “A Place Called Waco” that sparked the idea for the series.
The book highlighted the importance of showcasing the faces and names of people inside the building.
Instead of focusing on the right side and the wrong side, this Showtime series highlights the mistakes on both sides. “Waco: The Aftermath” is on Showtime now. | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/texas/waco-the-aftermath-new-showtime-series/ | 2023-04-20 04:02:42 | 1 | https://www.conchovalleyhomepage.com/news/texas/waco-the-aftermath-new-showtime-series/ |
STOCKHOLM, Nov. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Oncopeptides AB (publ) (Nasdaq Stockholm: ONCO), a biotech company focused on research and development of therapies for difficult-to-treat hematological diseases, today announced that the company has entered into a renewed unsecured loan facility agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB), granting access to a conditional loan facility of up to €30 million.
The loan facility agreement is divided into three tranches, each with a maturity of five years, which will become available if the company satisfies certain conditions precedent, including reaching specific milestones related to the ongoing commercialization of Pepaxti® in Europe and a potential relaunch of Pepaxto® in the US. Based on the uncertain regulatory path forward in the US, the parties have agreed to reduce the size of the loan facility and adjust the pricing accordingly.
In August 2022, Pepaxti was granted marketing authorization in combination with dexamethasone, for treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma in EU, including countries in the European Economic Area (EEA); Iceland, Lichtenstein, Norway, and the drug has also been approved in the UK. Pepaxti was recently launched in Germany, which is the largest market in Europe. Pepaxto was granted accelerated approval in the US in February 2021. The product is currently not marketed in the US. Oncopeptides has an ongoing dialogue with the FDA regarding the regulatory path forward.
If the company utilizes the loan facility, the EIB will be entitled to warrants in Oncopeptides, in addition to the interest on the loan amount. Assuming full drawdown under the loan agreement, the EIB will be entitled to warrants corresponding to 2.8 percent of the total number of shares in the company on a fully diluted basis (subject to recalculation in case of future potential capital raises up to €100 million). The total value of the warrants correlates with the initial agreement made in October 2020 and has been adjusted with the share price development taken into consideration. The warrants will be issued by Oncopeptides' board of directors pursuant to the authorization granted by the AGM 2022, and each tranche will be delivered to the EIB upon the company's potential decision to draw relevant tranches of the loan.
"The marketing authorizations of Pepaxti in combination with dexamethasone, for treatment of multiple myeloma in the EU and EEA countries, as well as in the UK, enable several new financing options. The EIB loan facility is a valuable solution that increases the flexibility during the company´s commercialization phase", says Jakob Lindberg, CEO of Oncopeptides. "We are very grateful for the European Investment Bank's continued confidence in Oncopeptides, which enables us to further expand our business and create substantial benefit for patients and value for shareholders."

About Oncopeptides
Oncopeptides is a global biotech company focused on research and development of therapies for difficult-to-treat hematological diseases. The company uses its proprietary Peptide Drug Candidate platform, PDC, to develop compounds that rapidly and selectively deliver cytotoxic agents into cancer cells. Pepaxti® (melphalan flufenamide, also called melflufen) has been granted Marketing Authorization, in the European Union, the EEA-countries Iceland, Lichtenstein and Norway, as well as the UK. Pepaxti is indicated in combination with dexamethasone for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least three prior lines of therapies, whose disease is refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory agent, and one anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, and who have demonstrated disease progression on or after the last therapy. For patients with a prior autologous stem cell transplantation, the time to progression should be at least 3 years from transplantation. Melflufen has been granted accelerated approval in the US under the trade name Pepaxto®. The product is currently not marketed in the US, due to regulatory hurdles. Oncopeptides has an ongoing dialogue with the FDA regarding the regulatory path forward.
Oncopeptides is developing several new compounds based on its proprietary technology platforms. The company is built on a Swedish innovation and is listed in the Mid Cap segment on Nasdaq Stockholm with the ticker ONCO. More information is available on www.oncopeptides.com.
About Pepaxti
Pepaxti (melphalan flufenamide, also called melflufen) is a lipophilic peptide conjugated alkylating drug that rapidly and selectively is delivering cytotoxic agents into tumor cells. The drug is composed of a di-peptide and an alkylating moiety. The lipophilicity allows a faster cellular uptake whereas the peptide hydrolysis mediated by aminopeptidases, results in accumulation of alkylating moieties in cancer cells. This results in an improved efficacy without an increased toxicity compared to melphalan. Pepaxti inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of hematopoietic and solid tumor cells. The drug shows synergistic cytotoxicity in combination with dexamethasone in melphalan resistant and non-resistant multiple myeloma cell lines.
Pepaxti is indicated in combination with dexamethasone, for the treatment of adult patients with multiple myeloma who have received at least three prior lines of therapy, whose disease is refractory to at least one proteasome inhibitor, one immunomodulatory agent, and one anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody, and who have demonstrated disease progression on or after the last therapies. For patients with a prior autologous stem cell transplantation, the time to progression should be at least 3 years from transplantation.

LONDON — (AP) — Consumer price inflation across the U.K. was unchanged at 8.7% in the year to May against expectations for a modest decline, official figures showed Wednesday, a development that is set to see the Bank of England raise the cost of borrowing again.
The Office for National Statistics said rising prices for flights, recreational and cultural goods and services, and second-hand cars boosted the inflation rate, while gas prices at the pump provided the biggest downward pressure.
“After last month’s fall, annual inflation was little changed in May and remains at a historically high level," the agency's chief economist Grant Fitzner said.
Financial markets think news of the unchanged rate will mean the Bank of England will increase its benchmark interest rate on Thursday from the current 15-year high of 4.5%.
Like other central banks, the bank has aggressively raised borrowing rates over the past 18 months or so after inflation spiked sharply, first because of bottlenecks caused by the coronavirus pandemic and then Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which sent energy and food prices surging.

DAVIESS COUNTY, Ind. (WTWO) — We’ve all heard the saying “sharing is caring,” which is often applied to the relationships we have with our siblings.
But what about sharing one of the highest honors you can get in high school — with your twin?
That is exactly what’s happening at North Daviess Jr/Sr High School in Daviess County, Indiana.
Seniors Lance and Logan Wilson will be graduating Friday as valedictorians.
“All the way through elementary, Mom always told us that if we didn’t have straight A’s, we couldn’t play basketball. We knew that really wasn’t going to be the case and she’d let us play anyway, but we still wanted to motivate ourselves and get straight A’s,” Logan Wilson said.
But wait, there’s another set of twins as well.
North Daviess seniors Madylin and Marydith Borders will share the title of valedictorian with the Wilson twins and two other non-twin students — Kristy Knepp and Brycen Skinner — making the total six students.
“Our older sister, Aubrey, also got it, and we always planned on going to Vincennes University, and their scholarship opportunity is called the ‘Valedictorian/Salutatorian Scholarship,’ [and] it gives us a full ride to there,” Madylin Borders said.
Lance and Logan Wilson play basketball at North Daviess and said the competition has always continued on and off the court.
“It’s kind of a thing if he gets it, well, I don’t want Mom to get onto me because I didn’t get it, and I don’t want to hear about it for the rest of my life from him, so it’s like, might as well do it with him,” Lance Wilson said.
Logan Wilson said he enjoyed the competition with his brother and found that it was easier to “one-up” him in the classroom.
“Even if he might have a better game one night on the court, I’ll still say something to him about ‘my grades are higher’ in some class. I have to have a leg up somewhere, and it’s easier to have that in academics,” Logan Wilson said.
Madylin and Marydith Borders ran track and cross country.
They said they both have always wanted to get ahead of one another, on the track and inside their school.
“You know, you never want to be the one that gets left behind. Always trying to outmatch each other and do better than each other,” Madylin Borders said.
Aside from having a “built-in best friend,” the Wilson twins said it sure made doing homework and projects throughout the years a whole lot easier.
“I mean, I wouldn’t call it copying. I’d call it using your resources,” Lance Wilson said.
The Wilson and Border twins said sharing this accomplishment with their twin has made all the hard work worth it as well as provided a ton of laughs along the way.
“It definitely makes it interesting sometimes. Teachers don’t know which one you are and always getting called the wrong name, but it’s fun because you can mess with teachers a little bit,” Logan Wilson said.
The Wilson twins will be heading to Tennessee after graduation to attend the North American Lineman Training Center.
The Border twins will be attending Vincennes University. | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/seeing-double-two-sets-of-twins-among-co-valedictorians/ | 2023-05-25 15:02:50 | 1 | https://cbs4indy.com/news/national-world/seeing-double-two-sets-of-twins-among-co-valedictorians/ |
Alice Paredes loves to dance but she doesn't have time for it anymore. Even though the 17-year-old from Lima, Peru, was a 4-time national champion in marinera, a traditional folk dance, she's got other priorities on her mind.
"Like saving the world, for instance," she says.
Well, maybe not the world – but certainly her community. When Alice was 15, she founded her own nonprofit organization called ConexEDU. Its goal is to help kids in rural areas get the funds they need to pursue a good education.
In July, Alice joined nearly 3,000 girl activists in 102 countries for the annual leadership summit hosted by Girl Up, a U.N. Foundation campaign to promote the rights of adolescent girls around the world. At this year's two-day virtual event, girls attended workshops on topics such as sexual and reproductive rights, health and justice and cyberbullying — and panels with inspiring women like Oscar-winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao and WNBA champion Candace Parker.
NPR spoke to Alice and three other Girl Up leaders – Natalia Perez Morales, 17, from Los Angeles; Sriya Chippalthurty, 17, from Houston; and Liliana Talino, 16, from Luanda, Angola – about their activism, their role models – and what they do for fun. The interviews have been edited for length and clarity.
What issue do you care most about? And how have you helped girls and women in your community?
Alice: I'm most passionate about solving gender inequality in education. In 2020, I met Angelina, a sixth grader who lived in a rural area about 3 hours outside of Lima. She was the best student in her grade and dreamed of being a health-care worker, but her family couldn't afford to buy her the technology she needed to take virtual classes [during the pandemic]. So my foundation raised about $500 to buy her a smartphone and a year of mobile data so she could attend online classes and do her homework.
Sriya: I care a lot about period poverty [the lack of access to menstrual products and education] and reproductive rights. During the height of the pandemic, I helped organize a campaign to provide feminine products to women in homeless shelters. I could see the smiles on the faces of people as we were serving them.
Natalia: I'm passionate about immigration reform. I am currently working on a letter-writing campaign advocating for immigrant women who [say they] have been sexually assaulted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
Liliana: There are so many problems in my community, but Angola's hunger crisis takes priority. People are dying from hunger [1.58 million people are experiencing food insecurity due to droughts and poor harvests]. Last year, I helped raise donations to help feed 35 families in Angola. We fed so many kids and made them happy, and that was really special.
Tell me about a woman you look up to for inspiration.
Liliana: Tabata Amaral. She is a Brazilian politician and she's really awesome. [When she was in high school], she represented Brazil in the International Science Olympiads in chemistry, astronomy and astrophysics — and then went to Harvard and became a politician [where she is currently a federal deputy for the Brazilian Socialist Party].
Alice: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. She's a Nigerian author who has a book called We Should All Be Feminists. She says feminism isn't just a woman's fight. Men and women and everybody else have to join forces to fight inequality.
Sriya: Emma Watson. I was a huge Harry Potter fan growing up, and then I found out that Watson was a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador and promoted education for girls in Zambia. She has a huge platform and uses that to promote causes she cares about.
What else do you do to relax and have fun?
Natalia: I love music, especially Alicia Keys and R&B. I also like watching crime documentaries.
Sriya: I also love R&B — and Lana Del Ray. Sometimes on a rainy day when I need a boost of energy, I listen to throwbacks from like 2012, Katy Perry.
Alice: I like gardening and reading self-help books. I also love dogs. I have three of them, two are strays that I rescued. Spending time with them brings a lot of love to my life.
The theme of this year's summit was "We're Not Waiting, Change is Now." The idea, according Girl Up, is that there's more at stake now for gender rights than ever before. Do you feel a sense of urgency to make a change in your community?
Liliana: Waiting is not an option! If I see a problem in my community and I do not do something to help make it better, I feel like nothing is going to get better.
Alice: For change to happen everywhere, it must start somewhere. Everything we start doing now, no matter how small, will eventually compound into bigger change.

Japan, Britain strike ‘historic accord’ on cooperation in defense, clean energy, semiconductors
HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Japan and Britain agreed Thursday to cooperate in a broad range of areas including defense, clean energy, cybersecurity and semiconductors.
The pact was announced as British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida held talks ahead of the Group of Seven summit in Hiroshima, Japan.
The two sides said the pact would strengthen their cooperation in economic, security and technological fields.
The accord includes plans for a “semiconductors partnership” to improve the supply chain for the components so vital for automobiles, defense technology and many modern consumer products.
It involves “new commitments to pursue ambitious R&D cooperation and skills exchange, strengthening our domestic sectors and bolster supply chain resilience in an increasingly competitive market,” the British government said in a statement.
Earlier Thursday, Sunak said Japanese companies had committed to investing 17.7 billion pounds ($22 billion) in clean energy projects. They include funding for offshore wind, low carbon hydrogen and other clean energy projects.
Britain has been pursuing closer trade ties with Japan and other Asian countries after leaving the European Union. As part of that effort it has formally applied to join a regional trade bloc, the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership, or CPTPP.
More than half of the investment pledged by Japan will come from the trading house Marubeni Corp. and will go to offshore wind and green hydrogen projects in Scotland and Wales.
Japan and Britain also agreed to “ensure diverse, resilient, and sustainable critical mineral supply chains needed for clean energy technologies,” Japan’s trade ministry said in a statement. It said the cooperation would also aim to improve standards in the industry. Mining of such minerals has often been plagued with labor abuses and environmental damage.
Sumitomo Corp., another major trading house, plans to expand offshore wind projects in the United Kingdom. Its affiliate Sumitomo Electric Industries plans to build a factory to make high-voltage cables in the Scottish Highlands, it said.
Sunak visited a Japanese naval base earlier Thursday and announced plans for closer defense cooperation — dubbed the “Vigilant Isles” —by doubling the size of joint military exercises, deploying Britain’s Carrier Strike Group in the Indo-Pacific in 2023 and expanding an air defense program.
The fleet, made of an aircraft carrier, its escorts and its aircraft, will work with the Japan Self Defense Forces and other regional partners to “help defend peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific,” the British government said.
“The Hiroshima Accord will see us step up cooperation between our armed forces, grow our economies together and develop our world-leading science and technology expertise. It marks an exciting next phase in the U.K. and Japan’s flourishing partnership,” Sunak said in a statement.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. — The cost of building projects is likely going up even more as construction site thefts and burglaries become more and more common on the Treasure Coast.
Port St. Lucie police responded Monday morning to a burglary at a construction site located off Southeast Becker Road, the third on the Treasure Coast in less than a week.
Police said more than $30,000 worth of copper, wire, tools and generators were stolen from the site of a new apartment complex under construction behind a Publix. Detectives are actively searching for the thieves.
Martin County deputies made two arrests last week involving similar cases.
Deputies arrested Arisbel Paumier Mendez on Wednesday in connection with burglarizing tools.
Just days earlier, deputies arrested two Miami men, Enrique Quintero, 44, and Vincent Monds, 33, after expensive lawn equipment was stolen.
"Martin County is clearly going through a growth cycle, so there's a lot of construction sites wherever you look," Martin County Sheriff William Snyder said. "With that comes the rise in construction site thefts."
Snyder said thieves are targeting everything from heavy machinery, to lumber, to tools and copper wiring, which are all items becoming more expensive with inflation.
"We always see, in my industry, when the cost of something goes up, the likelihood that it will be stolen goes up accordingly," Snyder said.
Snyder also said the perpetrators are usually coming from out of town, out of county or even out of state.
"They just go from one county to the other, stealing what they can get their hands on," Snyder said.
The sheriff added with the cost of these goods not declining anytime soon, he doesn't foresee the demand for thefts decreasing anytime soon, either.
"I'm not surprised," Port St. Lucie contractor, Anthony Gizze, who owns Gizze Construction Inc., said.
Gizze has experienced similar thefts firsthand.
"We've had tools stolen off the job, materials have been stolen," Gizze said. "We've had a water heater stolen."
In his three years of operating his business, Gizze said those thefts have caused thousands of dollars in losses. And while he does have builders risk insurance to help protect against thefts, the increase in claims has caused a major increase in his premium.
"My insurance has doubled," Gizze said. "We're passing [the cost] off to the consumer."
Gizze said in order to make a profit, he has to charge his customers anywhere from hundreds to thousands more for a job.
"I could see that being questionable, 'Is the insurance really that high?' but it is," Gizze said.
Still, Gizze said he has faith his customers will understand, knowing what Gizze pays out can't be more than what he takes in.
"I'm very transparent with my pricing," Gizze said. "I love to build, and I love to plan everything out, but I love to make money."
Gizze also said he takes several safety precautions to safeguard his equipment, including the installation of security cameras, locking away his equipment and hiding it from sight.
Snyder also said he recommends neighbors watch out for one another, and asked if anyone in the community sees anything suspicious at a construction site at night, that they contact his office immediately.
In Port St. Lucie, officers reported a 31% decrease in construction site thefts and burglaries in the past year compared to the previous 12 months. They are asking anyone with any information about Sunday's burglary to come forward.
Police said the crooks were last seen driving away in a white box truck.

LONDON (AP) — “The Crown,” Netflix’s acclaimed series about Queen Elizabeth II and her family, has paused production due to the monarch’s death.
A spokesperson for the series said production was paused on Friday “as a mark of respect” and will also be suspended on the day of the queen’s funeral.
The show is in production on its sixth season. Its first two seasons starred Claire Foy as the young princess Elizabeth ascending to the throne and gradually growing into her role as monarch, and seasons three and four featured Olivia Colman as a more mature queen. The show has gradually moved closer to current events. Netflix recently revealed casting of the actors who are playing Prince William and his wife Kate in the sixth season.
Its fifth season, with Imelda Staunton playing the queen, will premiere in November.
The show has won 22 Emmy Awards so far, including one outstanding drama series trophy and best drama actress honors for Foy and Colman. Josh O’Connor, who played Prince Charles in 13 episodes, also won the best drama actor Emmy for his portrayal of the future king as a young man. | https://cw33.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/ap-the-crown-pauses-production-because-of-queens-death/ | 2022-09-09 16:22:01 | 1 | https://cw33.com/entertainment-news/ap-entertainment/ap-the-crown-pauses-production-because-of-queens-death/ |
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) — King Charles III was officially announced as Canada’s monarch Saturday in a ceremony in Ottawa.
Charles automatically became king when Queen Elizabeth II died on Thursday. But like the ceremony in the United Kingdom hours earlier, the accession ceremony in Canada is a key constitutional and ceremonial step in introducing the new monarch to the country.
Charles is now is the head of state in Canada, a member of the British Commonwealth of former colonies.
Though Canadians are somewhat indifferent to the monarchy, many had great affection for the late Queen Elizabeth II, whose silhouette marks their coins.
Overall, the antiroyal movement in Canada is minuscule, meaning that Charles will almost certainly remain king of Canada. One reason is that abolishing the monarchy would mean changing the constitution. That’s an inherently risky undertaking, given how delicately it is engineered to unite a nation of 37 million that embraces English-speakers, French-speakers, Indigenous tribes and a constant flow of new immigrants.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau attended the ceremony where the Chief Herald of Canada read the proclamation on the accession of the new sovereign. Governor General Mary Simon also took part. Simon is governor general in Canada and is the representative of the British monarch as head of state, and holds a mostly ceremonial and symbolic position. She is an Inuk and is the first Indigenous person to hold the position.
A 28 member band of the Canadian Armed Forces played God Save the King during a 21-run gun salute. Canada’s national anthem marked the end of the ceremony. Queen Elizabeth was the head of state for 45% of Canada’s existence and visited the country 22 times as the monarch. | https://www.kron4.com/news/world/ap-international/ap-king-charles-proclaimed-canadas-new-head-of-state/ | 2022-09-10 21:36:51 | 1 | https://www.kron4.com/news/world/ap-international/ap-king-charles-proclaimed-canadas-new-head-of-state/ |

PHOENIX (AP) — Bob Melvin was talking about the improvement of Padres reliever Steven Wilson, when the San Diego skipper dropped in some cool-kid lingo that’s making the rounds in Major League Baseball these days.
“The sweeper’s ended up being a really big pitch for him,” Melvin said.
A few seconds later, Melvin was asked a simple question: What exactly is a sweeper?
Busted.
“I don’t know,” Melvin said, laughing. “It’s new-age baseball talk. A slider’s probably got a little more depth and the sweeper probably comes across a little more. I’ve made that joke, too. I still write it down as a slider.”
Move over slider, curve, slurve and screwball, there’s a new (ish) breaking ball that’s all the rage in MLB: the sweeper. Angels superstar Shohei Ohtani uses it, as does Padres starter Yu Darvish, Yankees lefty Nestor Cortes and dozens of other pitchers.
To be truthful, it’s not really a new pitch, but a new term to describe a certain type of breaking ball that’s been around a long time. And it’s one fans are surely noticing more this season, after MLB’s Statcast created a new classification for the pitch — meaning the “sweeper” is showing up on broadcasts and scoreboards just like “curveball” and “slider.”
The 61-year-old Melvin might joke that he doesn’t understand the “new-age baseball talk,” but the veteran manager has a pretty good grasp of what makes a good sweeper. Its main movement is side-to-side, and it doesn’t plunge downward like the normal slider or curveball.
Ohtani’s sweeper is considered one of the best in today’s game, with a good one producing around 20 inches of horizontal movement. But there are dozens of hurlers experimenting with the pitch, including Mets reliever Adam Ottavino.
The 37-year-old is actually one of the O.G.’s in the current sweeper world, throwing a variation of the pitch for the better part of 15 years.
Ottavino grew up in New York City idolizing breaking-ball pitchers like David Cone and Orlando Hernandez on the Yankees, and wanted to have his own big bender. The right-hander already had a conventional curveball, but because the ball would first rise out of his hand before dropping, it was easier for hitters to differentiate it from his other pitches.
“Some of the hitters I roomed with in the minors said if it didn’t do that, maybe it would be more effective,” Ottavino said. “So I tried to keep it low, changing the break from up to down to more right to left.”
Ottavino also credited former Giants reliever Sergio Romo for his sweeper, saying it provided some inspiration.
“I tried to make it as big as I could and I think I stumbled onto something there,” Ottavino said. “Now you see a lot more people doing it.”
Ottavino’s description of the sweeper is a good example of why it’s such a coveted pitch. Sometimes, big breaking balls are easier for hitters to detect, so a tighter spin that looks more like a fastball is useful. Pitchers also have more advanced tools than ever to help them fine-tune the angle of the break on their pitches, including high-speed cameras that can measure the amount of spin and the axis of rotation for each pitch.
Wilson said the analytics he’s seen indicate there’s more swing-and-miss with the slider, but the sweeper produces more soft contact.
“It’s a little bit risk vs. reward,” Wilson said. “But I think it works for me.”
Orioles starter Kyle Gibson was playing for the Phillies last season when pitching coach Caleb Cotham asked the right-hander if he wanted to mess around with his slider grip. The goal was to make the pitch move more left, instead of down.
Gibson proved to be a quick study. By his next game, he had a new pitch. The veteran said the grip wasn’t that much different from his original slider — he moved his fingers about an inch on the baseball.
“I told the catcher, warming up against the Braves, that next start, I said, ‘Hey, I’m going to throw them warming up here, and I’m going to throw them when I take the mound for the first inning. If I throw a couple good ones, then we’ll throw it,” Gibson said.
The pitch felt good on the mound, so he included it in his arsenal. He even struck out the first batter of the game on — you guessed it — a sweeper.
Is it that much different from a slider? That’s debatable.
But if it works, Gibson doesn’t really care about its name.
“Why it’s called a sweeper, I have no idea,” Gibson said. “I think maybe just because people don’t want to say it’s a slider with more side-to-side.”

- NovelPass will enable any Shopify brand to customize and launch their own branded passes for the very first time
- Novel unlocks next level engagement with the launch of this industry-first feature for Shopify
- The highly sophisticated technology is made simple to use and highly engaging to bolster brand loyalty
NEW YORK, June 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Novel, the pioneering e-commerce business, announces the launch of NovelPass. This new product will unlock next level engagement for Shopify brands, who will be able to employ this technology to customize and launch their own branded wallet passes for the first time. From large scale businesses seeking to boost customer engagement, to boutique brands powered by highly engaged communities, the launch will be accessible to over 4 million Shopify businesses.
During the pandemic, the rate at which contactless payment technology was adopted accelerated dramatically. With the release of Google's complementary wallet pass platform in 2022, this technology is now available across virtually every mobile device. Apple is expected to make significant investment into its wallet pass capabilities with the launch of iOS 17. However, due to implementation costs, it remains under-utilized by businesses of all sizes. With the introduction of Novel's breakthrough technology, brands can launch a personalized mobile experience in minutes that doesn't require their customers to download a separate app.
For brands which currently utilize direct marketing tools such as SMS or email to reach their customers on mobile devices, NovelPass will allow them to provide a new branded experience. This technology also enables push notifications to provide on demand and highly relevant updates, heightening immediacy and driving engagement with customers.
As shopping habits evolve and we see the return of shoppers to physical stores, Novel recognizes the need to provide brands - and their customers - with technology which embraces both the digital and physical world. This sophisticated technology built by Novel makes this combination possible, ensuring it is simple to use but highly engaging; geolocation capabilities and accompanying push notifications ensures that merchants with standalone and big box retail locations can effectively capitalize on the powerful combination of digital and physical.
Within NovelPass, customers can access information tailored to a product launch, key brand messages, upcoming events, and more. Similarly, loyalty perks will be fully integrated with merchants' existing programs - requiring no switch up of current activations - and are further bolstered by customer 'conversational referrals' made possible by QR codes. This allows customers to access discounts as an incentive, rewarding customer-to-customer engagement and supporting enhanced brand awareness and loyalty, all without having to go to a separate website or platform. Using Novel with current tech stacks is easy and seamless, all of which brings both brands and their customers closer together.
Roger Beaman, co-founder & CEO of Novel shares, "Brand loyalty today is continuously evolving, and the means by which businesses - big and small - can attract customers where they spend their time everyday, is of vital importance. Wallet pass technology is used by millions of people worldwide, yet so few brands have been unable to put it to work for them. We are thrilled to give millions access to technology that exists on every mobile device on the planet, making it personal to their brand and therefore their customers."
Novel has already enabled a number of brands to make wallet pass technology part of their marketing strategy, including beverage brand, Liquid Death.
Margaret Fortner, VP of Growth at magnetic lash brand Glamnetic shares, "The customer acquisition process has changed substantially over the last few years, and as a comparably newer business to many in our space, we pride ourselves on constantly searching for innovative opportunities to diversify our channel mix and broader acquisition strategy. Novel's wallet pass is so unique in the way that it takes a traditionally clunky, digital, friction-filled activity in customer referral and turns it into a seamless, single-step action. It's perfect for products like ours where the in-person 'Wow!' of discovery is key. With core features built on technology and apps that we all have pre-installed on our phones, we're even removing a step where you often lose customers in a net new app download. We're excited to continue building this core word of mouth channel in a forward-thinking way with the Novel team!"
Ronak Shah, Co-founder & CEO of popular community-driven health and beauty brand Obvi comments, "As a company supported and powered by our followers, being able to reach them wherever they are and whatever they are doing, is invaluable. Now we're able to build wallet passes with Novel's technology, encouraging them to spread the word amongst their equally health and wellbeing-conscious friends is so easy. It means that when we have a new message or promotion, we're confident we're making it easy for our customers to access and share."
Since its inception in 2022, Novel has helped merchants to harness the power and potential of existing e-commerce infrastructure and payment methods. Novel's expertise in transforming the traditional shopping experience is now leveraged within mobile technology which is embedded in everyday life.
Novel is backed by media and commerce mogul, Brian Sugar, Founder of Sugar Capital and POPSUGAR.

Associated Press
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia assaulted cities and towns along a boomerang-shaped front hundreds of miles long and poured more troops into Ukraine on Tuesday in a potentially pivotal battle for control of the country’s eastern industrial heartland of coal mines and factories.
If successful, the Russian offensive in what is known as the Donbas would essentially slice Ukraine in two and give President Vladimir Putin a badly needed victory after the failed attempt by Moscow’s forces to storm the capital, Kyiv, and heavier-than-expected casualties nearly two months into the war.
The cities of Kharkiv and Kramatorsk came under deadly attack, and Russia also said it struck areas around Zaporizhzhia and Dnipro west of the Donbas with missiles.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Igor Konashenkov said air-launched missiles destroyed 13 Ukrainian troop and weapons locations, while the air force struck 60 other Ukrainian military facilities, including missile warhead storage depots.
Russian artillery hit nearly 1,300 Ukrainian military facilities and over 1,200 troop concentrations over the past 24 hours, Konashenkov said. The claims could not be independently verified.
In what both sides described as a new phase of the war, the Russian assault began Monday along a front stretching more than 300 miles (480 kilometers) from northeastern Ukraine to the country’s southeast. Ukraine’s military said Russian forces tried to “break through our defenses along nearly the entire front line.”
Weeks ago, after the abortive Russian push to take Kyiv, the Kremlin declared that its main goal was the capture of the mostly Russian-speaking Donbas, where Moscow-backed separatists have been fighting Ukrainian forces for eight years.
A Russian victory in the Donbas would deprive Ukraine of the industrial assets concentrated there, including mines, metals plants and heavy-equipment factories.
A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the Pentagon’s assessments of the war, said the Russians had added two more combat units, known as battalion tactical groups, in Ukraine over the preceding 24 hours. That brought the total number of units in the country to 78, all of them the south and the east, up from 65 last week, the official said.
That would translate to about 55,000 to 62,000 troops, based on what the Pentagon said at the start of the war was the typical unit strength of 700 to 800 soldiers. But accurately determining Russia’s fighting capacity at this stage is difficult.
A European official, likewise speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss military assessments, said Russia also has 10,000 to 20,000 foreign fighters in the Donbas. They are a mix of mercenaries from Russia’s private Wagner Group and Russian proxy fighters from Syria and Libya, according to the official.
While Ukraine portrayed the attacks on Monday as the start of the long-feared offensive in the east, some observers noted that an escalation has been underway there for some time and questioned whether this was truly the start of a new offensive.
The U.S. official said that the offensive in the Donbas has begun in a limited way, mainly in an area southwest of the city of Donetsk and south of Izyum.
Justin Crump, a former British tank commander now with the strategic advisory company Sibylline, said the Ukrainian comments could, in part, be an attempt to persuade allies to send more weapons.
“What they’re trying to do by positioning this, I think, is … focus people’s minds and effort by saying, ‘Look, the conflict has begun in the Donbas,’” Crump said. “That partly puts pressure on NATO and EU suppliers to say, ‘Guys, we’re starting to fight now. We need this now.’”
European and American arms have played a key role in enabling the outgunned Ukrainians to hold off the Russians. The Dutch prime minister told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday that the Netherlands would send “heavier material,” including armored vehicles.
Associated Press journalists in Kharkiv said at least four people were killed and three wounded in a Russian attack on a residential area of the city. The attack occurred as residents attempted to maintain a sense of normalcy, with municipal workers planting spring flowers in public areas.
An explosion also rocked Kramatorsk, killing at least one person and wounding three, according to AP journalists at the scene.
Eyewitness accounts and reports from officials have given a broad picture of the extent of the Russian advance. But independent reporting in the parts of the Donbas held by Russian forces and separatists is severely limited, making it difficult to know what is happening in many places on the ground.
Military experts said the Russians’ goal is to encircle Ukrainian troops from the north, south and east.
Key to the campaign is the capture of Mariupol, the now-devastated city in the Donbas that the Russians have besieged since the early days of the war. Taking Mariupol would deprive Ukraine of a vital port and complete a land bridge between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, seized from Ukraine from 2014.
It would also free up Russian troops to move elsewhere in the Donbas.
A few thousand Ukrainian troops, by the Russians’ estimate, remained holed up in a sprawling Mariupol steel plant, representing what was believed to be the last major pocket of resistance in the city.
On Tuesday, Russia issued a new ultimatum to the Ukrainian defenders to surrender, saying those who come out will “keep their lives,” and said a cease-fire was being declared in the area so the combatants could leave the plant.
The Ukrainians have ignored previous such offers, and there was no immediate confirmation a cease-fire occurred.
The Kremlin-backed leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, whose forces have taken part in the fighting in Mariupol, said on a messaging app that Russian forces would root out the Ukrainian resistance within hours and take full control of the steel mill on Tuesday.
Kadyrov is known for his bluster and has repeatedly predicted the city’s fall in the past.

Report: 14% of doctors admit drinking or doing drugs at work to cope with stress
Published: Aug. 18, 2022 at 4:20 PM EDT|Updated: 2 hours ago
(CNN) – The COVID-19 pandemic has some healthcare workers stressed out and looking for ways to ease their tensions.
According to a report on healthcare workers’ mental health released Thursday, 21% of physicians say they’ve taken drugs or drank alcohol more than once per day.
Additionally, 14% report consuming alcohol or controlled substances while at work.
The findings from the Mind-Body Health treatment chain APN were based on 1,000 healthcare workers questioned in July.
Researchers also say many of these healthcare workers suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder while experiencing trauma similar to what wartime soldiers go through.

Microsoft invests billions in ChatGPT-maker OpenAI
Microsoft says it is making a “multiyear, multibillion dollar investment” in the artificial intelligence startup OpenAI, maker of ChatGPT and other tools that can write readable text and generate new images.
The tech giant on Monday described its new agreement as the third stage of a growing partnership with San Francisco-based OpenAI that began with a $1 billion investment in 2019. It didn’t disclose the dollar amount for its latest investment.
OpenAI’s free writing tool ChatGPT launched on Nov. 30 and has brought public attention to the possibilities of new advances in AI.
It’s part of a new generation of machine-learning systems that can converse, generate readable text on demand and produce novel images and video based on what they’ve learned from a vast database of digital books, online writings and other media.
Microsoft’s partnership enables it to capitalize on OpenAI’s technology. Microsoft’s supercomputers are helping to power the startup’s energy-hungry AI systems, while the tech giant will be able to further integrate OpenAI technology into Microsoft products.
“In this next phase of our partnership,” said a statement from Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, customers who use Microsoft’s Azure cloud computing platform will have access to new AI tools to build and run their applications.
OpenAI started out as a nonprofit artificial intelligence research company when it launched in December 2015. With Tesla CEO Elon Musk as its co-chair and among its early investors, the organization’s stated aims were to “advance digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return.”
That changed in 2018 when it incorporated a for-profit business Open AI LP, and shifted nearly all its staff into the business, not long after releasing its first generation of the GPT model for generating human-like paragraphs of readable text. Musk also left its board in 2018.
OpenAI’s other products include the image-generator DALL-E, first released in 2021, and the speech recognition tool Whisper.
Microsoft said Monday its strengthened partnership can help “to accelerate AI breakthroughs to ensure these benefits are broadly shared with the world.”

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korea activist said Thursday he launched more huge balloons carrying COVID-19 relief items toward North Korea, days after the North vowed to sternly deal with such activities and made a highly questionable claim they were a source of the virus.
South Korean experts doubt North Korea’s moves to blame South Korean balloons and say the intent might be to incite anti-South Korea sentiments and ease public complaints over its handling of the outbreak. The coronavirus is spread by people in close contact who inhale airborne droplets, and the expert consensus is that the spread of the virus from surfaces is virtually impossible.
Park Sang-hak, a North Korean defector-turned-activist, said his group floated 20 balloons carrying 20,000 masks and tens of thousands of vitamin C and fever-reducing tablets from a South Korean border town on Wednesday. He said he sent similar aid items by balloon across the inter-Korean border twice last month.
One of the balloons carried a large placard calling North Korea leader Kim Jong Un “a hypocrite” and condemning him for holding South Korean activists responsible for the virus outbreak. But Park said the balloons didn’t carry what he had previously sent for years — small but numerous anti-North Korea propaganda leaflets, U.S. one-dollar bills and USB sticks containing information about the outside world. He said he’ll now focus on sending medical relief items because North Koreans urgently need them.
Since North Korea in May admitted to an omicron outbreak of the virus, its state media said about 4.8 million North Koreans have developed fevers but only 74 have died. Experts doubt the figures are accurate and speculate its disclosure of an extremely low death count is tooled to prevent political damage to Kim.
Last week, state media said the outbreak had been traced to residents who had contact with “alien things” in a town near the border and that authorities have been ordered “to vigilantly deal with alien things coming by wind and other climate phenomena and balloons.”
Some outside experts, however, believe the omicron variant entered North Korea when it briefly reopened its northern border with China for freight traffic in January. Observers say the virus spread further when many North Koreans travelled to Pyongyang for massive public events marking state anniversaries in April and returned home.
“The one who spread COVID-19 is Kim Jong Un. But since public sentiments are really bad, he’s trying to put all the blame on us,” Park said. “How can materials spread COVID-19?”
Park is standing trial for a past leafleting campaign under a contentious South Korean law criminalizing such activities that took effect last year.
Park said he hasn’t been contacted by authorities about his recent ballooning activities. Police said Thursday they are investigating Park’s recent balloon launches but refused to provide further details.
North Korea is extremely sensitive to outside attempts to criticize Kim’s rule to people who has little access to information from foreign sources. In 2014, North Korea fired at balloons flying toward its territory, and in 2020 it destroyed an empty South Korean-built liaison office in the North to express its anger over leafleting. | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/s-korean-group-floats-balloons-toward-north-amid-animosities/ | 2022-07-07 21:24:38 | 0 | https://www.wric.com/news/u-s-world/s-korean-group-floats-balloons-toward-north-amid-animosities/ |
The European Union on Thursday reached a deal for a ban on the sale of new passenger vehicles and light commercial vehicles powered by gas and diesel engines, including hybrids, by the year 2035.
The target to reduce carbon dioxide from vehicles 100% by 2035, which forms part of an overarching plan for the E.U. to become climate neutral by 2050, was first made by the European Commission in 2021.
It then received support from the European Parliament following a vote held in June edging closer to banning the sale of internal-combustion cars by 2035. On Thursday the proposal received provisional approval by the European Council, which is composed of the heads of state or government of the E.U. member states, meaning it will now be passed into law.
The target calls for 55% less CO2 emissions from new passenger vehicles by 2030 versus 2021 levels as an interim goal, and eventually 100% by 2035. For vans, it will be a 50% reduction by 2030 and 100% by 2035.
Unlike similar plans in California and New York state, which classify certain plug-in hybrids as zero-emission vehicles, the E.U.’s target pushes for fully electric vehicles including battery and fuel-cell vehicles.
However, there’s potentially still some life left in the E.U. for the internal-combustion engine in light vehicles. Automakers producing fewer than 10,000 vehicles per year will be able to negotiate weaker targets until having to meet the 100% target by 2036. And any automakers producing fewer than 1,000 vehicles per year may be exempt altogether.
The E.U. also agreed on Thursday that lawmakers will draft a proposal on how vehicles that run on synthetic fuel could be sold after 2035, a move Germany seeks.
The E.U. in 2026 also plans to assess the progress of automakers and operators of charging networks toward achieving the 100% carbon dioxide reduction target and the potential need to review the target.

(The Hill) — The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued warning letters to several e-cigarette companies on Wednesday for packaging their products to look like toys and appeal to children.
The FDA criticized the five relatively unknown companies — Wizman Limited, Shenzhen Fumot Technology, Shenzhen Quawins Technology, Ruthless Vapor and Moti Global — for selling e-cigarettes designed to look like items such as glow sticks, Nintendo Game Boys and walkie-talkies, or to imitate foods such as popsicles.
The companies also have been selling e-cigarettes that feature characters from “The Simpsons,” “Family Guy,” “Squid Game,” “Rick and Morty,” “Minions,” and “Baby Bus,” several of which being shows marketed to children, according to the FDA.
“The designs of these products are an utterly flagrant attempt to target kids,” Brian King, director of the FDA’s Center for Tobacco Products, said in a statement. “It’s a hard sell to suggest that adults using e-cigarettes with the goal of quitting smoking need a cartoon character emblazoned across the front of the product in order to do so successfully.”
However, the FDA’s warnings have had a limited impact in the past. Wizman previously received a warning letter in 2020 over its product that imitated the Nintendo Game Boy — one of the same products Wizman was chastised for again in Wednesday’s letter. | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/fda-warns-e-cig-companies-over-products-that-look-like-toys-and-target-children/ | 2022-11-17 19:07:35 | 0 | https://www.kark.com/news/national-news/fda-warns-e-cig-companies-over-products-that-look-like-toys-and-target-children/ |

(The Hill) – Apple on Monday launched savings accounts for its Apple Card users, which can be accessed and tracked through the Apple Wallet app on iPhones.
In a news release, the company said users can deposit cash back on purchases into Goldman Sachs savings accounts, without any additional deposit feed. It said the accounts have an annual yield (APY) of 4.15 percent.
That is significantly higher than the national average APY of 0.35 percent, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. But other large credit unions and banks offer similarly high rates, noted CNBC.
“Savings helps our users get even more value out of their favorite Apple Card benefit — Daily Cash — while providing them with an easy way to save money every day,” Apple Pay and Apple Wallet vice president Jennifer Bailey said in a statement.
“Our goal is to build tools that help users lead healthier financial lives, and building Savings into Apple Card in Wallet enables them to spend, send, and save Daily Cash directly and seamlessly — all from one place.”
In December, Apple introduced an end-to-end encryption service, called Advanced Data Protection for iCloud, which will allow users to protect their most important data in their iCloud accounts. | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/national-news/apple-unveils-savings-account/ | 2023-04-17 22:33:04 | 0 | https://www.yourbasin.com/news/national-news/apple-unveils-savings-account/ |
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers’ dramatic late-inning comeback could only keep their playoff hopes alive for another nine minutes.
Hunter Renfroe homered in a ninth-inning rally and singled home the winning run in the 10th, but the Brewers were eliminated from postseason contention on Monday night despite a 6-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Brewers knew at the start of the night they could earn the NL’s final wild-card spot only if they won their last three games while Philadelphia lost three straight. Milwaukee’s chances ended soon after their walk-off when the Phillies (87-73) beat the Houston Astros 3-0 to clinch their first playoff appearance since 2011.
“We did our part and battled to the end here and found a way to win a game,” said Christian Yelich, who also homered for the Brewers. “But obviously, it’s bittersweet when it ends up not meaning much because Philly took care of business.”
Milwaukee missed the playoffs for the first time since 2017. The Brewers led the NL Central for much of the season and had a four-game advantage on the morning of July 31 but have gone just 28-31 since.
“We don’t really have anyone else to blame but ourselves,” Yelich said. “We just didn’t get the job done.”
The Brewers really hurt their cause over the weekend by losing three of four at home against Miami, with the three losses decided by a total of four runs.
“We stayed in the fight, and I think tonight was an example of that,” Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. “This past weekend against Miami, it just felt like we couldn’t for some reason, they wouldn’t let us over the hump. Frankly, it’s felt like that for awhile. That one step forward, one step back, that kind of feeling that we had, it felt like that this weekend. We just seemed so close to taking that next step forward. Like this weekend showed, we just couldn’t do it.”
Sergio Alcántara had a homer and three RBIs for Arizona, and Cooper Hummel also homered.
Milwaukee (85-75) trailed 4-1 in the ninth before tying the game with help from a two-out Arizona error.
Renfroe led off the ninth with a homer off Joe Mantiply, and Yelich followed with a single. After Andrew McCutchen lined to center, Kolten Wong walked.
The runners advanced when Mantiply retired Rowdy Tellez on a bouncer to first. Victor Caratini hit a hard grounder that got past first baseman Christian Walker, with both Yelich and Wong coming home on the error.
“Obviously Walker is one of the best first basemen in baseball defensively,” Hummel said. “It just didn’t go our way. They took advantage.”
Reyes Moronta replaced Mantiply and retired Jace Peterson on a grounder to second.
Daulton Varsho’s one-out single off Brad Boxberger (4-3) brought home Hummel to help Arizona regain the lead in the 10th.
Milwaukee responded in the bottom half. After Omar Narváez drew a leadoff walk from Moronta (2-2), Willy Adames lined a single to right that scored Peterson from second and advanced Narváez to third. Renfroe then lined a single to left to end the game.
“We mounted a real nice comeback tonight,” Counsell said. “A little bit improbable, really.”
Arizona wasted an exceptional outing from Tommy Henry, who struck out five and allowed one run and three hits in 6 1/3 innings.
“The slider was a little bit better tonight than it has been through most of the year,” Henry said. “That always helps.”
Brewers starter Brandon Woodruff allowed two runs and one walk while striking out seven in six innings. He has given up just seven runs over 39 innings in his last six starts.

Brewers RHP Justin Topa went on the injured list with a bruised left ankle. The Brewers recalled RHP Jake Cousins from Triple-A Nashville.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — This Easter, Americans will devour more than 1 billion Peeps — those radiant marshmallow chicks whose appearance on store shelves each year is as much a herald of spring as azaleas at the Masters.
What makes the treats so vibrant is erythrosine, a chemical that shows up on ingredient labels as Red No. 3. It’s one of several chemicals, along with titanium dioxide, used to color some of the most popular candy in the country — including Skittles and Hot Tamales.
Both chemicals have been linked to cancer. More than 30 years ago, U.S. regulators banned Red No. 3 from makeup. The U.S. still has not banned the chemical from food, to the dismay of some consumer safety groups.
Now, a state lawmaker wants to ban erythrosine and titanium dioxide in California, plus three other chemicals used in everyday favorites like tortillas and some store brand sodas.
The bill, scheduled for its first public hearing next week, has prompted headlines around the world declaring California wants to ban Skittles and other candy. Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, a Democrat who authored the bill, said he wants to ban the chemicals, not the candy. He said plenty of alternative ingredients are available, noting the chemicals are already banned in Europe and that companies still find a way to sell candy there.
“They still produce Skittles in other parts of the world. What they do is they take out these toxic ingredients, and they replace them with something else,” Gabriel said. “What we really want is for these companies to make the same minor modifications to their recipes that they made in Europe and elsewhere.”
The National Confectioners Association, the trade group that represents candy companies, says it’s not that easy. Tastes vary across cultures, it said, meaning just because a candy is accepted by Europeans doesn’t mean it will be received well in the United States. Plus, changing ingredients would be a hardship for regional candy makers who don’t sell their products overseas, according to the trade group.
“There’s a lot more here at play than a simple soundbite solution,” said Christopher Gindlesperger, spokesperson for the association. “We need a comprehensive look at this to make sure there aren’t unintended consequences for chocolate and candy companies.”
In addition to erythrosine and titanium dioxide, the bill would ban potassium bromate and propylparaben, two chemicals used in baked goods, and brominated vegetable oil, which is used in some store brand sodas.
The U.S. has allowed dyes like erythrosine in food since 1907. Decades later, researchers found rats exposed to lots of erythrosine over a long time developed thyroid cancer. In 1990, based in part off of that research, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration banned erythrosine from cosmetics.
Consumer safety groups have tried for years to get the agency to ban the chemical in food to no avail. Researchers have since linked the chemical to other health problems besides cancer, including hyperactivity and other neurobiological behaviors in some children, according to a 2021 report from the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.
The International Association of Color Manufacturers argued in a 2021 statement that California study was “based on insufficient scientific evidence.”
Titanium dioxide is a white powder that, because it scatters light, can make colors appear brighter. It’s been used for 100 years in products like paints, paper, rubber, toothpaste, soap and food coloring. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has listed titanium dioxide as a possible carcinogen in humans. The Titanium Dioxide Manufacturers Association maintains there is no evidence of it causing cancer in humans.
The candy industry insists the chemicals California is considering banning “have been thoroughly reviewed by the federal and state systems and many international scientific bodies and continue to be deemed safe,” according to a letter signed by various industry trade groups.
“These scientifically based regulatory processes should be allowed to continue without second guessing their outcomes,” the letter stated.
Scott Faber, senior vice president for governmental affairs for the nonprofit Environmental Working Group, said the only reason the chemical is still deemed safe by federal regulators is because of a loophole that has been exploited by chemical companies. He says regulators have not reviewed their prior decisions in light of new science.
“The confectioners and the food industry know the review process at the FDA is broken. They have been hiding behind it for decades. We shouldn’t let them hide behind it anymore,” Faber said. “If FDA won’t fix this review system and keep us safe from dangerous chemicals in our food, it’s up to states like California to keep us safe.”
Just Born Inc., the Pennsylvania-based company that makes Peeps, said in a statement the company complies with FDA regulations and gets their “ingredients and packaging exclusively from reputable suppliers who adhere to high quality and safety standards.”
The company noted its development team is looking for other options, “including colors derived form natural sources that can deliver the same visual impact and stability as their certified counterparts.”

The best hair colors to wear this fall
New seasons often inspire change. One of the easiest and most fun ways to mix things up is to change your hair color. With cooler weather coming in, warm and cozy shades are the perfect way to phase into fall styles. Set yourself up for great flannel- or sweater-based outfits with a fresh look.
Typical fall-hair shades range from deep reds to warm browns to dark blonds. However, there are no rules when it comes to finding the perfect autumn shade for you.
Things to consider before you dye your hair
Hair color
If you have dark hair and want to go golden, take care to use proper lighting techniques and treat your hair with restorative products afterward. Check out this list of home bleaching products from BestReviews. If you lightened your hair for summer, consider giving your hair a break and skip the bleach treatment.
If you’re going darker than your current color, the process will be much more straightforward. To get an idea of how the dye might appear on your natural hair, search for before-and-after images of users of the product you’re considering.
Hair length
The length of your hair can affect your hair dying process. Not only will the quantity determine how much you need, but different dyeing techniques are better suited for different lengths. For example, if you’re rocking a bob or a pixie, an ombre is generally out of the question, unless you have a particularly skilled hairstylist. However, there’s nothing saying you can’t change your hair length to suit your new color. If you’re really looking for a change this season, you can switch things up with a haircut or even extensions.
Hair thickness
How thick your hair is directly impacts how much hair dye you’ll have to buy. Most dyes aren’t designed for a specific thickness; however, some chemicals may harm hair that’s especially thin. Always start with a small amount of hair dye and work your way up.
Striking fall color ideas
Fall commonly evokes memories of pumpkin spice, golden fields and changing leaves. All of these shades make for excellent hair colors, but you can also venture out into warm complementing colors such as wine tones. Burgundy, for example, is subtle but eye-catching.
You can also ombre several of these colors for the perfect fall look. Keep in mind, an ombre requires a lot of upkeep and can get expensive quickly.
Wine shades
Burgundy and merlot are just two of the rich and striking colors you can dye your hair. While at first glance they can often appear black or brown, their true brilliance is shown in the light. When you’re outside, enjoying the crisp air, your new shade will flourish in the soft fall sun.
Revlon Colorsilk Burgundy Permanent Dye
This color is bright, long-lasting and easy to apply. Its formula is gentle on hair while strengthening the strands.
Sold by Amazon

Chestnut
Chestnut is one of the warmest, most satisfying shades of brown. It goes with every outfit and just about every complexion. It’s easy to apply to almost every hair color and is a great way to transition your look for cold weather. Additionally, it’s a great base shade to add highlights to.
L’Oreal Paris Fade-Defying Chestnut Hair Color
This well-known brand delivers deep, shiny color that will last for months. It’s gentle on hair and resists fading.
Sold by Amazon
Naturtint Permanent Natural Chestnut Hair Color

Golds
Gold shades can range from dark blond to rose-gold. These tones are good for light or bleached hair, but they won’t show up well on darker strands. While golds are bright and a lot of fun, they can also be difficult to maintain, especially if you have dark roots. If you’re willing to bleach your hair for this look, be sure to use a dye that isn’t harmful to your hair.
L’Oreal Paris Feria Shimmering Rose Gold Dye
Not only is this hair color bright and eye-catching, but the formula is gentle and conditions your hair as well.
Sold by Amazon
L’Oreal Paris Fade-Defying Lightest Gold Brown Dye

Sold by Amazon
Auburn
Shades of orange go perfectly with the falling leaves. If you’re looking to get into the seasonal spirit, you can’t go wrong with auburn. It’s lovely, subtle and works well on almost all natural hair colors.
Clairol Perfect 10 Light Auburn Hair Color
This glossy dye takes minutes to apply and lasts up to three months. It comes with an applicator tip specifically for touching up your roots.
Sold by Ulta
Clairol Nice ‘N Easy Permanent Color
A dripless color cream that delivers a bright and dynamic auburn shade.
Sold by Ulta
Reds
Garnet, ruby and other red tones are another autumn staple. Not only are they fun, bright and eye-catching, but they look great on just about everyone. While in winter red may come off just a bit too festive, fall is the perfect time to embrace the warm vibrant shade.
Madison Reed Radiant Rimini Garnet Hair Color
This dye is a thick cream that lasts for months when applied correctly. It comes with a barrier substance to protect your hair.
Sold by Ulta
Punky Colour Semi-Permanent Conditioning Hair Color
For bleached hair, the two different shades of red this dye offers will show up brilliantly. However, darker shades will only experience highlights.

Photographer’s description: “My goal on this adventure was to find some otters on the negative tide. I came upon a family of four hunting for breakfast in the Sound, and this individual climbed onto a rock between foraging sessions. I love my otter interactions and cherish each one, but when I can catch them perched on a rock with solid swells rolling through in good light, it is truly magical. And on this occasion, the seaweed and kelp were dancing in tandem with the waves. Sony A1 with 100-400 mm GMaster @ 400 mm.”
Critique: “What a moment you captured here. My favorite part is how the breaking wave looks almost as if it could be the otter’s shadow. The focus is squarely on the action, and the foreground and background team up to set the scene nicely. The aquatic greenery is a nice ‘splash’ of color that helps draw our eye right to the subject. Well done, and thanks for submitting!”

*Adjusted EBITDA is a Non-GAAP metric used by management that does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Management defines the Adjusted EBITDA as the income (loss) from operations, as reported, before interest, taxes, and adjusted for removing other non-cash items, including the stock-based compensation expense, depreciation, and further adjustments to remove acquisition related costs or gains. Management believes Adjusted EBITDA is a useful financial metric to assess its operating performance on a cash adjusted basis before the impact of non-cash items and acquisition activities. The most comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP is net income (loss) from operations, which was presented above prior to the Adjusted EBITDA figure.
The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the quarter ended April 30, 2022 are available on SEDAR and EDGAR and should be read in connection with this news release.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were rejected by baseball writers in their bids for the Baseball Hall of Fame ten times. On Sunday, the duo chased by steroid suspicions got another rebuke from a panel that included many of their peers.
The door hasn’t formally shut on their Cooperstown chances. But the latest letdown means the pair — with eight MVPs and seven Cy Young Awards between them — may never be celebrated with the sport’s greatest individual honor.
Fred McGriff was the only player elected Sunday to the Hall of Fame by a 16-member contemporary era committee, one of several groups credentialed to seal a player’s enshrinement. McGriff was chosen unanimously, while neither Bonds or Clemens received more than three votes.
When it comes to the Baseball Hall of Fame, there are several potential avenues to induction, but it can be a very bumpy road for all but the most straightforward cases.
HOW CAN PLAYERS BE ELECTED TO THE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME?
Players are first considered by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America no sooner than five calendar years after their big league career ends. A BBWAA screening committee creates the annual ballot, and members who have been active baseball writers for at least 10 years are eligible to vote.
Players on Major League Baseball’s ineligible list cannot appear on BBWAA ballots, the mechanism by which Pete Rose has been excluded from consideration. Voters are instructed to base their decisions on “the player’s record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played.”
The result of this year’s writers’ vote — which requires 75% for induction — will be announced Jan. 24.
Players are removed from the BBWAA ballot if they receive less than 5% of the vote. They also are taken off after 10 appearances. Bonds (66%), Clemens (65%) and Curt Schilling (58.6%) fell well short in their final chances on the BBWAA ballot last January.
Once a player is no longer being considered by the BBWAA, his case shifts to the Hall’s committee system — divided into the contemporary and classic eras. The contemporary era committee considers candidates whose careers were primarily from 1980 on. The classic panel examines players who had their most significant impact on the game prior to 1980.
The committees rotate yearly. The contemporary committee approved McGriff on Sunday at baseball’s winter meetings in San Diego. Another contemporary committee meets next year to consider managers, executives and umpires. The classic committee votes in December 2024.
The ballot for each panel consists of eight candidates selected by a BBWAA-appointed historical overview committee. There is no limit when it comes to how often a candidate can appear on an era ballot.
Rose also is ineligible for era ballots because of his inclusion on MLB’s ineligible list.
The 16 members of each era committee — comprised of Hall of Famers, executives and writers — are appointed by the Hall’s Board of Directors. Voters can select as many as three candidates, and the support of 75% of ballots cast are required for induction.
WHAT NOW FOR BONDS, CLEMENS AND SCHILLING?
The next time Bonds, Clemens and Schilling could be considered would be by a contemporary committee for the 2026 Hall of Fame class.
Bonds and Clemens look like no-doubt Hall members on the backs of their baseball cards, and Schilling has a strong case, as well.
A seven-time NL MVP, Bonds set the career home run record with 762 and the season record with 73 in 2001. A seven-time Cy Young Award winner, Clemens went 354-184 with a 3.12 ERA and 4,672 strikeouts. Schilling went 216-146 with a 3.46 ERA in 20 seasons, winning the World Series with Arizona in 2001 and Boston in 2004 and 2007.
But Bonds and Clemens have been accused of using performance-enhancing drugs, and support for Schilling dropped after he made hateful remarks toward Muslims, transgender people, reporters and others. Bonds has denied knowingly using performance-enhancing drugs, and Clemens maintains he never used PEDs.
Schilling got seven votes Sunday, and it’s possible a future committee may swing in his favor. For Bonds and Clemens, that now seems unlikely.
There was a thought that maybe Bonds and Clemens would get more sympathy from their peers than writers for their suspected steroid use during an era tarnished by the stain of PEDs. That clearly wasn’t the case.
This year’s contemporary committee included Hall of Famers Greg Maddux, Jack Morris, Ryne Sandberg, Lee Smith, Frank Thomas and Alan Trammell, plus executives Paul Beeston, Arte Moreno, Kim Ng, Theo Epstein, Dave St. Peter, Derrick Hall and Ken Williams; and media members Steve Hirdt, LaVelle Neal and Susan Slusser. Chipper Jones was supposed to be on the committee but missed Sunday’s vote due to COVID-19. He was replaced by Hall.
The Hall of Fame did not reveal all down-ballot totals, saying only that Bonds and Clemens received fewer than four votes — a strong indication that unless new evidence exonerates them from PED charges, they might never get their day in Cooperstown.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Advocate Capital, Inc. client, Eric Fong of Fong Law and his co-counsel, Ken McEwan and Emma Aubrey, obtained a $91 million verdict on behalf of their client, who was severely injured when he was attacked with a baseball bat by a convenience store robber. This verdict is the largest compensatory verdict won in the state of Washington.
When Fong's plaintiff walked into a Parkland, Washington, convenience store on November 4, 2015, he was unaware of the robbery in progress. He was not warned by the store clerk about the situation and was asked by the clerk to call 911. The plaintiff followed the robber outside and confronted the robber when they got into the plaintiff's car.
Fong's client suffered a multifocal Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and subsequent epilepsy from being attacked. Fong said, "The physical and emotional fall out from this TBI is nothing short of intense human suffering."
The plaintiff sued the company who owns the convenience store, APRO LLC because they failed to warn him of the danger and involved him in the situation by requesting he call emergency services. The store was a frequent location for criminal activity, and Fong explained that employees were often afraid at work, but corporate did nothing to help.
Fong was recently interviewed about the case on the podcast Cases That Made a Difference®. Fong stated, "...what's a company's responsibility when a criminal is acting?... In Washington, it just so happens that if you're negligent and the criminal party isn't a defendant in the lawsuit, you don't get to pass the blame off to them. You had a part in this, there can be more than one proximate cause, and we're here to talk about you. And so we won that fight."
Fong Law is located in Port Orchard, Washington. To learn more, visit www.EricFongLaw.com or call 360-876-8205.
Advocate Capital, Inc. is the premier provider of strategic financial products and accounting services for successful trial law firms like Fong Law.

3 men arrested for using saw to cut down, steal traffic lights from poles, deputies say
HERNANDO COUNTY, Fla. (Gray News) – Three men in Florida have been charged after attempting to steal traffic lights using a saw, officials said.
According to the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office, a detective was driving home around 1 a.m. Tuesday when he noticed a suspicious van stopped at an intersection with its headlights turned off.
The detective then noticed sparks coming from the area where traffic lights were in the process of being installed.
Additional deputies arrived at the scene, where they said they found three men using a saw to cut the traffic lights off the poles. By the time law enforcement arrived, the men had already successfully cut down three stop lights and placed them inside the van.
The sheriff’s office said all three men admitted to stealing the stop lights.
Officials said the traffic lights are valued at $5,000 each.
Deputies said 29-year-old Aaron Ward, 28-year-old James Donnelly, and 27-year-old Oleksiy Naumenko were arrested and charged with grand theft.
Authorities said the men were booked into the Hernando County Detention Center, each on a $2,000 bond.
Hernando County is located on Florida’s gulf coast, about 50 miles north of Tampa.

The Orlando Free Fall, the 430-foot drop tower at ICON Park from which 14-year-old Tyre Sampson fatally fell last March, will start coming down next week.
The St. Louis teen’s mother, Nekia Dodd, is relieved the ride will be taken down before the anniversary of Tyre’s death on March 24, lawyer Michael Haggard said in a statement. She has pushed for it to be dismantled since her son died but hopes its removal “does not remove the memory of this tragedy,” he said.
“Ms. Dodd remains focused on real change in the oversight and operation of thrill rides and accountability by any party involved in failing to keep theme park guests safe,” Haggard said. “It is a part of Tyre’s legacy, a legacy that can never be stripped down.”
Trevor Arnold, a lawyer representing ride operator Orlando Slingshot, said the company hired amusement business Ride Entertainment to coordinate the Free Fall’s deconstruction. A crane will arrive next week to start taking the Free Fall apart, he said.
“That activity is expected to continue into the following week because of the large size of the ride,” Arnold said in a statement. “We hope to have the ride fully deconstructed before the anniversary of Tyre Sampson’s tragic death, and we will continue to work in that direction and give timeline updates as they are available.”
Tyre died after slipping through a restraint that state investigators found Orlando Slingshot had modified to accommodate larger riders. The 383-pound teen was allowed on the ride despite exceeding the attraction’s weight limit by nearly 100 pounds, and the state claimed employees were not properly trained on the ride’s operation.
Orlando Slingshot initially denied the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ allegations but settled with the agency last month, paying a $250,000 fine and agreeing to never operate the Orlando Free Fall again.
In October, the company pledged to take the ride down once the state inquiry concluded and start a scholarship in Tyre’s name. Tyre’s family has said they also want a memorial to him put up at the site.
A final inspection of the ride occurred Feb. 23, clearing the Free Fall for dismantlement after the state’s investigation ended and parties in the civil lawsuit surrounding Tyre’s death finished their survey of the attraction.
State Sen. Geraldine Thompson filed a ride safety bill in Tyre’s name in February that aims to strengthen gaps in ride safety laws found during the state’s probe. Haggard and ride safety expert Brian Avery praised the bill but criticized companion legislation that would keep records in ride safety investigations private longer.

Ex-US Navy SEAL killed in Ukraine
An ex-US Navy SEAL, who deserted the American military nearly four years ago, was killed fighting in Ukraine, according to the Navy.
Video above: Kyiv closer to receiving Western tanks, more Patriots
Daniel W. Swift, who was a special warfare operator 1st class, was killed on Wednesday in Ukraine, the Navy said in a statement. Swift deserted the military on March 11, 2019.
"We cannot speculate as to why the former Sailor was in Ukraine," the Navy said.
Swift had his Trident pin removed, a Navy official said, a severe step taken after a Trident Review Board determines a sailor no longer lives up to the requirements of being a Navy SEAL.
The State Department confirmed the recent death of a U.S. citizen fighting in Ukraine but offered no further details on the circumstances of death.
"We are in touch with his family and providing all possible consular assistance," a State Department spokesperson said. "Out of respect for the privacy of the family during this difficult time, we have nothing further to add."
Swift joined the Navy in 2005 and completed the Navy SEALS training in 2006, according to his service record provided by the Navy. During his time in the military, he earned awards and decorations for service in Iraq and Afghanistan.
His record also contains an unexplained break in service from the beginning of 2014 to the end of 2015. His last assignment was a West Coast Special Warfare Unit, which started in August 2016. | https://www.wisn.com/article/ex-us-navy-seal-killed-in-ukraine/42596936 | 2023-01-21 13:56:12 | 0 | https://www.wisn.com/article/ex-us-navy-seal-killed-in-ukraine/42596936 |
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- An FBI agent was injured Monday morning when a gun went off in the loading dock area of the federal courthouse in Philadelphia.
Action News has learned the agent was hit in the leg.
It was not immediately clear if the agent shot himself, or if another agent accidentally discharged.
The injured FBI agent was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in stable condition.
"One FBI special agent received minor injuries, is receiving medical attention, and is expected to be treated and released," the FBI said in a statement.
The FBI is now investigating the shooting. | https://6abc.com/fbi-agent-shot-federal-courthouse-philadelphia-shooting-accidental-discharge/12178034/ | 2022-08-29 17:07:10 | 1 | https://6abc.com/fbi-agent-shot-federal-courthouse-philadelphia-shooting-accidental-discharge/12178034/ |
Most US pregnancy-related deaths are avoidable, CDC report says
Published: Sep. 19, 2022 at 12:01 PM CDT|Updated: 21 minutes ago
(CNN) - More than 80% of pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. are preventable, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The report used data from the Maternal Mortality Review Committee, which researched such deaths in 36 states between 2017 to 2019.
The leading underlying causes are mental health conditions, excessive bleeding, cardiac conditions and infection.
More than half of the deaths occurred a week to up to a year after pregnancy.
The CDC said the report highlights the need for healthcare professionals and the public to be more aware of pregnancy-related complications that can happen during and after pregnancy.

Biden to visit Selma, Ala. for voting rights anniversary
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — President Joe Biden will travel to Alabama on Sunday to mark the 58th anniversary of a landmark event of the civil rights movement.
Biden will speak in Selma, Ala. for the annual remembrance of “Bloody Sunday,” the day in 1965 that white police beat Black civil rights marchers as they attempted to cross the city’s Edmund Pettus Bridge. The White House announced the visit on Tuesday.
The visit comes as the city that served as a crucible of the civil rights movement is fighting to recover from a January tornado. The EF-2 twister, with winds of 130 mph, cut a wide swath and ripped through the city, destroying and severely damaging hundreds of homes.
Biden has twice visited Selma for the annual voting rights commemoration. Three years ago during the 2020 election he spoke at the city’s historic Brown Chapel AME Church hours after strong support from Black voters in South Carolina lifted Biden to his first primary victory. He also visited the city as vice president in 2013. In both stops, Biden warned of erosions to the protections for voting rights won in the city decades ago.
President Barack Obama in 2015 spoke in Selma to mark the 50th anniversary of the 1965 marches.
On March 7, 1965, Alabama state troopers beat and tear-gassed voting-rights demonstrators — including a young John Lewis — as they tried to cross the bridge over the Alabama River. Weeks later, the Rev. Martin Luther King successfully led marchers on the 50-mile march to the state capital of Montgomery.
The marches, and photos of the violent beatings on Bloody Sunday, galvanized Congress to pass the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that struck down impediments to voting by African-Americans and ended all-white rule in the American South.
The annual commemoration has become a regular stop for politicians to pay homage to the fight for voting rights in America and to court Black voters in election years.

(KRON/NEXSTAR) – Twitter is currently limiting the amount of content its users can access per day, according to a tweet from owner and chairman Elon Musk.
Musk announced Saturday that the app is “temporarily” putting a cap on the number of posts a user can “read,” with verified users having access to 6,000 posts per day and unverified users having access to only 600 per day.
“New unverified” users will only be able to read 300 posts per day, Musk tweeted.
Musk did not indicate how long the limitations would be in effect, but only that they were enacted “to address “extreme levels of data scraping & system manipulation.”
His post also did not specify if “reading” a tweet was the same thing as scrolling past a tweet. Some users further questioned what he meant by “data scraping,” but that was not clarified.
Musk’s announcement came after thousands of users reported being unable to access the site on Saturday morning. DownDetector indicated users having issues with both desktop and app versions of Twitter, with reports beginning to spike around 8 a.m. EST.
“Twitter down” also began trending around the same time. Some users reported seeing the note “rate limit exceeded” when attempting to use the application.
Later in the day, both “RIP Twitter,” “damn Twitter” and “wtf Twitter” began trending on the platform, with users expressing frustration and confusion at the new limitations.
“Damn twitter ruined fr fr now i need myspace to comebacc,” one user wrote.
“It’s almost like he wants to drive his own company out of business,” another said. “I just have to wonder why. Why would that make sense to him? Surely he has a reason, even if its not a sound one.”

Feral hogs have overrun nearly the entire state of Texas, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in damage annually in spite of widespread attempts to eradicate them, including traps, contraceptives, and hunting.
Will Reneau is a fourth generation rice farmer in the state and grows long and medium grain rice on 1,900 acres. He says feral hogs plodding through his paddies is impacting the bottom line of his business.
"I started in 2008 and my number one issue is feral hog damage," he told Scripps News. "Our number one problem causer."
Reneau's rice grows in standing water, and because pigs don't sweat, they seek out places like this to cool off from the summer heat.
SEE MORE: Sustainable farming: How technology can optimize food production
The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department says the pernicious wild pigs have spread and can be found in every single county of Texas except El Paso. But it's not just farms that are feeling the impact. Feral hogs have also been spotted around golf courses, suburban subdivisions, and even cemeteries.
Researchers at Texas A&M University say a conservative estimate for the number of feral hogs in the state is 3 million to 4 million.
"Feral Hogs were introduced to the Americas from the explorers," said Jamie Sugg with the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension. "They brought them over here as a food source ... seems like lately they've really exploded."
And it's that explosion of feral hogs that has people like Reneau going to war.
SEE MORE: Data shows more farmers are trading in tractors for drones
In Texas you don't need a permit to hunt wild hogs — just the farmer's permission. Hunters also trap feral hogs around the state and have found a market for them.
"What I'll call the upscale operators — those that operate at a high level — such as retailers in Europe, they prefer U.S. wild boar because of all the food safety features," said Pat McGowan, vice president at Broadleaf Game. "We test animals for trichinosis. We test animals for salmonella. We test animals for e-coli. We have all the same criteria as if we were processing a domestic pig."
However, even with no restrictions on hunting, trapping, or contraception to prevent breeding, the plurality of pigs on the pastures is proof that humans can't control everything in nature.

WEST LONG BRANCH, N.J. (AP) — Tim DeMorat's sixth touchdown pass of the game in the final minute lifted Fordham to a 52-49 victory over Monmouth on Saturday.
The two-time Patriot League player of the year tied his own school record with his 14-yard score to Fotis Kokosioulis with 56 seconds remaining. DeMorat also became the school's career touchdown leader with 78, passing Kevin Anderson (2014-2017), who had 73. Morat finished 34 of 51 for 452 yards with two interceptions. Kokosioulis made 15 catches for 130 yards and two scores. Trey Sneed ran for 110 yards.
Fordham finished with 706 yards offense and Monmouth 713.
Jaden Shirden ran for a Monmouth-record 299 yards and two scores on just 12 carries, including 95- and 80-yard TDs. Assanti Kearney added 121 yards receiving on five catches and Owen Wright ran for three TDs for the Hawks (0-2). Troy Muskett threw for 323 yards and two scores plus an interception.
Fordham is 2-0 for the first time since 2013.

FOXBORO — Ding, ding.
Patriots center David Andrews and defensive tackle Christian Barmore went head-to-head in the first fight of training camp Tuesday, wrestling to the ground after a play that pitted the starting offense versus the starting defense in an 11-on-11 period. Players from both sidelines emptied onto the field to break up the fight, including quarterback Mac Jones, who was immediately grabbed and stopped by veteran wideout Nelson Agholor.
“I tried to get in there a little bit,” Jones said after practice. “It’s two guys I have a lot of respect for. At this point in camp, that’s gonna happen. I just want to make sure I can talk to both of those guys and try to stop it. At the end of the day, we’re teammates and we all know that.”
Barmore was kicked out of practice, while Andrews walked off slowly, ran hills and returned to watch the rest of practice from a distance. The Pats’ longtime captain made an impassioned speech to his offense after an atrocious practice Monday and seemed eager to set a tone Tuesday. Andrews also addressed the offense after Tuesday’s practice, which featured the Patriots’ best run-blocking of camp.
Defensive tackle Davon Godchaux wasn’t surprised to see two teammates scrap this late into camp. Minutes before Andrews and Barmore hit the turf, a small skirmish broke out during a competitive drill between offensive and defensive linemen.
“I mean, it’s football. Things happen. Guys get heated, we’ve been out here practicing for a long time,” Godchaux said. “I wouldn’t make that nothing. It’s just football.”
Pats safety Devin McCourty, another captain, had a slightly different take. He noted the team’s first preseason game is later this week, a time when the offense and defense will no longer be competing against one another, but the visiting Giants. Fighting at this stage could risk injury, something the Patriots don’t need.
“It’s a little late for all of that,” McCourty said before later adding: “We’re playing a game in two days, and that’s what it’s about.” | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/08/09/patriots-react-to-david-andrews-christian-barmore-training-camp-fight/ | 2022-08-09 20:23:25 | 1 | https://www.bostonherald.com/2022/08/09/patriots-react-to-david-andrews-christian-barmore-training-camp-fight/ |

Astros burst ahead, beat Phillies 5-2, tie World Series 1-1
HOUSTON (AP) - Framber Valdez made a five-run lead stand up after Houston’s lightning first-inning burst, Alex Bregman homered and the Astros beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2 Saturday night to tie the World Series at one game apiece.
Just like in Game 1, the Astros rushed to a 5-0 lead. Unlike ace Justin Verlander in the opener, Valdez and Houston held on.
Valdez rebounded from a pair of poor outings in last year’s Series to pitch shutout ball into the seventh, and the bullpen survived a couple of jams to close things out.
Jose Altuve, Jeremy Peña and Yordan Alvarez all doubled as Houston took a two-run lead four pitches in against Zack Wheeler. An error allowed another run in the first and Bregman added a two-run homer in the fifth.
A day after coming back for a 6-5 win in 10 innings. Philadelphia tried to rally in this one, too.
With the Phillies trailing by four runs, Kyle Schwarber hit a drive deep down the right-field line with a man on in the eighth against Rafael Montero that was originally ruled a two-run homer by right field line umpire James Hoye.
First base umpire Tripp Gibson at first signaled for umps to conference and the call was reversed on a crew chief review when it was determined the ball was just to the foul side of the pole.
Schwarber, who led the NL in home runs this season, then hit a long drive that was caught at the right field wall.
Ryan Pressly finished the combined six-hitter, giving up a run on an error by first baseman Yuli Gurriel.
Following the split in Houston, the Series resumes Monday night when Citizens Bank Park hosts the Series for the first time since 2009.
Of 61 previous Series tied 1-1, the Game 2 winner went on to the title 31 times — but just four of the last 14.
After struggling to a 19.29 ERA in a pair of Series starts in last year’s six-game loss to Atlanta, Valdez pitched with polish and poise. His cheeks glistening with sweat, the 28-year-old left-hander struck out nine and walked three, allowing four hits in 6 1/3 innings.
He blew by batters with a fastball averaging 95.6 mph and baffled them with his curve, which got three of his strikeouts— all looking. Unusually, he changed his glove and spikes mid-outing.
When the Phillies put two runners on for the only time against him in the sixth, Valdez struck out Game 1 star J.T. Realmuto with high heat, then got Bryce Harper to bounce a first-pitch sinker into an inning-ending double play.

RENO, Nev. (AP) — Heading into this year’s midterms, the elections director in the largest county in one of the nation’s most important battleground states had a lot on his mind.
A new Nevada law required every voter to get a mailed ballot, new processes were in effect for counting all those ballots days after Election Day and the public needed to be assured the count would be accurate.
And there was this: breakfast and lunch.
Joe Gloria, the registrar of voters in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, knew he had to figure out how to feed his staff so they wouldn’t have to leave the office as votes were being counted. It was another fallout of the lies surrounding the 2020 presidential election, when former President Donald Trump and his allies made false claims of widespread fraud in Nevada and five other battleground states he lost.
Gloria and his workers were targeted by threats as Nevada, and Clark County in particular, became a hotbed for conspiracy theories stemming from the false claims.
In an interview with The Associated Press on Monday, a month before he is scheduled to step down as Clark County Registrar of Voters, Gloria spoke about the high turnover rates of Nevada election officials, the need for more elections training throughout the state and detailed the threats and harassment he had largely kept quiet about while on the job.
“Over the course of years, I’ve developed, I guess, something of a shell,” he said over Zoom.
Gloria said protesters stood 100 feet (about 30 meters) from his office door, some carrying weapons, as he and his staff were counting the 2020 ballots. He received ominous emails and messages: “We know where you live” and “We know where your family sleeps,” read some of them.
Much of the harassment his staff received depended on how close to the building they could park. The longer the walk to the building, the more likely they would get noticed and harassed, so returning from a lunch break became a frantic experience.
“You’d even come back and find if somebody had purposely taken their space,” Gloria said of the parking lot outside the elections department. “And they were waiting for them for the long walk inside to verbally abuse them.”
To avoid a repeat and reduce his workers’ anxiety, Gloria secured money earlier this year to provide breakfast and lunch for his staff during the election and ballot-counting period so they could avoid walking to and from the parking lot. His office also coordinated with local law enforcement to increase security.
Gloria said his resignation has nothing to do with the threats. Rather, he said it was simply time for him to start a new chapter after 28 years working in the same office.
He detailed his upcoming job as CEO of operations at the National Association of Election Officials, a national voting organization where he plans to provide elections training and advocacy, in part to help with high turnover of election staffs.
During the 2020 election and this year’s midterms, Gloria became the face of Nevada’s lengthy vote-counting process that allows for mailed ballots to be counted if they are postmarked on Election Day and received by an elections office within four days.
The Clark County elections office has been a focal point of attention because so many top races in Nevada are decided by narrow margins — and the county has about three quarters of Nevada’s registered voters. This year, the race for a U.S. Senate seat wasn’t decided until nearly a week after Election Day, after Clark County had nearly completed processing its late-arriving mailed ballots.
“I’ve always been kind of the calm in the storm and tried to be that way, and that’s the way I tried to train my staff,” Gloria said.
He said his office was fortunate to be supported financially from the county, while acknowledging that not all counties in Nevada can do the same. Most election officials, particularly county clerks in the rural parts of the state, are “underpaid, underappreciated and expected to be knowledgeable in several areas.” That includes marriage licenses, notaries, county records and in some cases, budgeting.
Ten of the state’s 17 counties have had turnover in clerk or voter registrar positions since the 2020 election. Well over half of the elections department within the secretary of state’s office also has turned over in that span, a result of fatigue and better opportunities elsewhere.
Gloria said it will be the responsibility of the incoming secretary of state, Democrat Cisco Aguilar, to find more training opportunities and create a culture of mentorship. He said the state desperately needs more training as mass resignations have taken place across Nevada’s local elections departments.
“It’s an uphill battle that they’ve got at the state level,” Gloria said. “But it’s critical to the future of elections in the state of Nevada.”
One county clerk resigned after two decades when her county commission unanimously called on her to ditch voting machines in favor of a full hand-count — a plan that was modified because of lawsuits after the hiring of a new clerk who had previously denied the results of the 2020 presidential election. Another longtime local election official left because of repeated death threats. Another decided against running for re-election because of the rise of election conspiracists, the new voting laws and a slate of other duties that left her feeling burnt out in a rural office that received little money for adapting to the new demands.
Clark and other county election departments have scrambled to adapt to new voting laws passed by the Democratic-controlled legislature during the pandemic that were since made permanent, particularly a law that has each county send out mail ballots to every registered voter. Just over half of Nevada voters used the mailed ballots this year sending them back through the postal service, returning them via drop boxes or dropping them off at polling stations.
Gloria obtained county money to travel to Colorado and see how different counties adapted to the widespread mail voting there. The county also paid for a new facility to help process and count mail ballots.
Gloria became Clark County registrar in 2013 after 18 years working in various roles across the department. Before coming to Nevada, he worked in New Mexico as a voting machine technician.
He happened upon the career in elections administration by accident. He walked into a county clerk’s office in New Mexico to get a marriage license when the clerk, a friend and neighbor of his, said he was going to need a job after he got married.
“I said ’you’re right,” Gloria recalled. “But let’s get a license today. And I’ll show up on Monday.”
Now seen as a leading elections expert nationally, Gloria will put together training programs for the National Association of Election Officials. He said he would be open to working with Aguilar, who wants to make it a felony to harass or intimidate election workers and who has denounced election conspiracies that have spread across the state.
Gloria said he decided he would step down about a year ago. His position will be filled by Clark County’s board of commissioners.
“I thank goodness that I’m not leaving because I’m frustrated or because anybody forced me out of this office,” he said. “I left because it was my time to go.”

If you missed last month’s supermoon, you have another chance.
This month’s full moon is Wednesday. At the same time, the moon’s orbit will bring it closer to Earth than usual. This cosmic combo is called a supermoon.
That can make the moon appear slightly bigger and brighter, weather permitting.
One name for Wednesday’s full moon is the “Buck moon” — a reference to the time of year when new antlers are growing on male deer, or bucks.
The supermoon on June 14 was the “Strawberry moon” because it’s the full moon at strawberry harvest time. | https://www.texomashomepage.com/hooked-on-science/ap-science/theres-another-chance-to-catch-a-supermoon-on-wednesday/ | 2022-07-11 15:54:04 | 0 | https://www.texomashomepage.com/hooked-on-science/ap-science/theres-another-chance-to-catch-a-supermoon-on-wednesday/ |
2Q22 Net Income of $52.5M and Diluted Earnings Per Share (EPS)1 of $0.48
Utility Performing Well Despite Inflationary Environment
Bank Results Reflect Strong Loan Growth, Expanding Net Interest Margin, Favorable Credit Trends and More Normalized Provision
HONOLULU, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (NYSE: HE) (HEI) today reported consolidated net income for common stock for the second quarter of 2022 of $52.5 million and EPS of $0.48 compared to $63.9 million and EPS of $0.58 for the second quarter of 2021. The lower net income was due primarily to the prior year's negative provision for credit losses at American Savings Bank, and the return to a more normalized provision expense due to strong loan growth.
"Our consolidated second quarter results reflect solid performance across our enterprise," said Scott Seu, HEI president and CEO. "The utility continues to execute well under performance-based regulation, and will continue to focus on cost control to moderate the impacts of inflation and high fuel costs on customer bills. We did see higher maintenance expenses due to purposeful acceleration of work on our generating units to reduce downtimes and ensure reliable service to our customers as we completely transition off of coal and one of the largest power plants in the state on September 1. Our bank results reflect good execution from the team and an earnings level that is driven by a more normalized provision in comparison to recent periods. The bank saw strong loan growth during the quarter, and credit quality is trending favorably. Our bank continues to progress its digital transformation, and launched Zelle during the quarter, providing a fast and easy way for customers to send and receive money.
"We know that our communities and customers are feeling financially challenged, and we are continuing to provide options to help manage their utility bills, while our bank continues working to help meet customers' financial needs," said Seu.
1 Unless otherwise indicated, throughout this release earnings per share (EPS) refers to diluted earnings per share.
HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY (HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC) EARNINGS2
Hawaiian Electric's net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $44.1 million, compared to $41.9 million in the second quarter of 2021, with the increase primarily driven by the following after-tax items:
- $7 million higher Annual Revenue Adjustment revenues;
- $1 million related solely to a change in the timing for revenue recognition within the year for Maui County operations that eliminates seasonality in recognizing target revenues and results in recognizing revenues evenly throughout the year, with target revenues recognized on an annual basis remaining unchanged; and
- $1 million in higher major project interim recovery revenues related to grid modernization.
These items were partially offset by the following after-tax items:
- $5 million in higher operations and maintenance expenses, including $6 million driven by more generating facility overhauls and maintenance performed and $1 million related to higher bad debt expense, partially offset by $2 million in lower expenses compared to last year from (i) last year's write-off due to termination of an agreement relating to a combined heat and power unit and (ii) higher 2021 expenses for environmental reserves;
- $1 million higher depreciation expense due to increasing investments to integrate more renewable energy and improve customer reliability and system efficiency; and
- $1 million in higher interest expense.
2 Note: Utility amounts indicated as after-tax in this earnings release are based upon adjusting items using a current year composite statutory tax rate of 25.75%.
AMERICAN SAVINGS BANK (ASB) EARNINGS
ASB's second quarter of 2022 net income was $17.5 million, compared to $23.9 million in the first quarter of 2022 and $30.3 million in second quarter of 2021. The decrease in net income compared to the linked and prior year quarters primarily reflected a return to a more normalized provision due to strong loan growth, following five consecutive quarters of provision releases.
Total earning assets as of June 30, 2022 were $8.7 billion, up 2.6% from December 31, 2021.
Total loans were $5.4 billion as of June 30, 2022, up 4.2% from December 31, 2021, reflecting growth across nearly the entire portfolio and driven by strong growth in commercial real estate loans.
Total deposits were $8.3 billion as of June 30, 2022, an increase of 1.0% from December 31, 2021. For the second quarter of 2022, the average cost of funds was 0.05%, flat versus the linked quarter and down two basis points versus the same quarter last year.
ASB's return on average equity3 for the second quarter of 2022 was 12.2%, compared to 13.7% in the linked quarter and 16.8% in the second quarter of 2021. Return on average assets was 0.76% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 1.04% in the linked quarter and 1.38% in the same quarter last year.
In the second quarter of 2022, ASB paid dividends of $12.0 million to HEI. ASB had a Tier 1 leverage ratio of 7.7% as of June 30, 2022.
3 Bank return on average equity calculated using daily average common equity.
HOLDING AND OTHER COMPANIES
The holding and other companies' net loss was $9.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $8.3 million in the second quarter of 2021. The higher net loss was primarily due to higher interest expense, principally due to higher borrowings, and higher general and administrative expenses, including higher charitable contributions (due to timing), partially offset by increased charitable contribution expense in the second quarter of 2021 related to a settlement agreement associated with an executive transition.
BOARD DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
On August 4, 2022, HEI announced that the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.35 per share, payable on September 9, 2022 to shareholders of record at the close of business on August 18, 2022 (ex-dividend date is August 17, 2022). This quarterly dividend is equivalent to an annual rate of $1.40 per share. Dividends have been paid on an uninterrupted basis since 1901. At the indicated annual dividend rate and based on the closing price per share on August 4, 2022 of $42.51, HEI's dividend yield is 3.3%.

PITTSBURGH — Jesús Aguilar hit a tying single and scored the winning run on a wild pitch as the Miami Marlins rallied for three runs in the 10th inning to beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 5-4 on Wednesday night.
The loss snapped the Pirates’ four-game winning streak. Pittsburgh last won five straight in April 2019.
Jon Berti hit an RBI single that trimmed Miami’s deficit to 4-3. Aguilar followed with a one-out RBI single to center field against All-Star closer David Bednar (3-3) that advanced Berti to third.
Bednar intentionally walked pinch-hitter Luke Williams to load the bases. Brian Anderson’s grounder forced Berti at home and sent Aguilar to third.
The first pitch from Bednar to Jesús Sánchez got past catcher Jason Delay, scoring Aguilar.
“I heard a couple of voices saying, go, go, so I took off,” Aguilar said. "I’ve done it with a hit but never scoring the game-winning run like this, as a runner. It feels good.”
Zach Pop (1-0) allowed Daniel Vogelbach’s RBI groundout and Ke’Bryan Hayes’ run-scoring single that put the Pirates ahead 4-2 in the top of the 10th.
“At the end of the day, it was a win, which was something we need,” said Marlins manager Don Mattingly, whose club avoided a third straight loss to the Pirates in the four-game set. “Let’s go get another one (Thursday) and move on.”
Pittsburgh tied it 2-all on Michael Chavis’ RBI double against reliever Tanner Scott in the ninth. Scott walked Vogelbach and Hayes to start the inning. Chavis hit a drive over left fielder Billy Hamilton that advanced Hayes to third.
Avísail García’s two-run single in the eighth put Miami ahead 2-1. Pittsburgh reliever Duane Underwood got the first two outs of the inning before he hit Joey Wendle with a pitch, walked Berti and plunked Aguilar with a pitch. García’s line drive to center scored Hamilton and Berti.
“I was looking for a strike. I’ve been chasing too much this past week,” García said. “He threw me one over the middle and thank God I hit the ball.”
JT Brubaker limited Miami to three hits in seven scoreless innings, matching the longest outing of his career previously done on June 9. The right-hander walked two and struck out nine.
“We had a chance to win,” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. “We had the lead twice and ended up giving it back. We didn’t execute pitches at the end of the game.”
Miami starter Pablo López kept Pittsburgh hitless through the first four innings until Ben Gamel’s RBI single in the fifth broke a scoreless tie. Oneil Cruz had a leadoff walk, stole second and scored on Gamel’s line drive to right.
López was lifted after five innings. He allowed one hit, walked four and struck out three.
“The main thing is that we won,” López said. “On a more personal note, I just think it was not a very good performance. Very poor command, poor execution, which led to a lot of things going on.”
The Marlins threatened against Brubaker in the fourth when García hit a leadoff double and Anderson walked. But then Sánchez forced Anderson at second and Nick Fortes grounded into a double play.
“Brubaker was really good, really sharp, did a nice job,” Shelton said. | https://www.fox43.com/article/sports/marlins-rally-past-pirates-5-4/521-b286c47a-7dc3-496a-a432-daae829e025e | 2022-07-14 14:09:02 | 0 | https://www.fox43.com/article/sports/marlins-rally-past-pirates-5-4/521-b286c47a-7dc3-496a-a432-daae829e025e |
BIRAO, Central African Republic (AP) — The Russian mercenary group that briefly threatened President Vladimir Putin’s authority has for years been a ruthless force-for-hire across Africa, protecting rulers at the expense of the masses. That dynamic is not expected to change now that the group’s founder, Yevgeny Prigozhin, has been exiled to Belarus as punishment for the failed rebellion.
The Wagner Group brutalizes civilians in the Central African Republic, Mali and elsewhere to crush dissent and fend off threats to their leaders’ power. In exchange, Russia gains access to natural resources and ports through which weapons can be shipped, and receives payments that enrich the Kremlin and help it fund operations elsewhere, including the war in Ukraine.
Neither Russia nor the African leaders dependent on Wagner’s fighters have any interest in ending those relationships. But many questions linger in the aftermath of Wagner’s stunning revolt, such as who will lead its thousands of fighters stationed across many African nations and whether Moscow will absorb these fighters into the Russian army.
“The situation is extremely volatile,” said Nathalia Dukhan, senior investigator at The Sentry, a U.S.-based policy organization that published an investigative report Tuesday accusing Wagner of carrying out various human-rights abuses in African countries. “But what we have learnt from investigating and analyzing Wagner in Africa in the past 5 years is that the group is resilient, creative, fearless and predatory, so it is less likely that the Wagner empire will instantly fall like a house of cards.”
Beyond the financial rewards, Putin has also sought to use Wagner fighters to help expand Russia’s presence in the Middle East and Africa. He seeks out security alliances with autocrats, coup leaders, and others who have been spurned or neglected by the U.S. and Europe, either because of their bloody abuses or because of competing Western strategic interests.
Asked whether Wagner’s weekend mutiny could erode Russia’s positions in Africa, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told a state-run TV network that security assistance to African countries would continue. He specifically mentioned the Central African Republic and Mali, and noted that Russian government officials have maintained contact with leaders there.
Lavrov told RT he has not seen “any sign of panic or any sign of change” in African nations over the revolt against Moscow. But amid the uncertainty, there is at the very least some confusion about what exactly comes next.
In Mali, where at least 1,000 Wagner fighters replaced French troops brought in to fight Islamic extremists, the U.S. alleges that the Kremlin uses the country as a way-station for arms shipments to Russian forces in Ukraine. But the Malian government has denied using Wagner for any purpose other than training.
An officer in the Malian Air Force who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was unauthorized to comment publicly said Russian fighters play an important combat role.
“At the moment we don’t have enough pilots, and most of our military aircraft and combat helicopters are flown by Wagner’s men. If Russia asks the Malian government to stop cooperating with Wagner, we’ll be obliged to do so, because we have a greater interest in the Russian government than in Wagner,” the officer said.
As part of a deal to end the rebellion, Putin has presented Wagner fighters with three options: either join the Russian military, go to Belarus like Prigozhin, or return home. It was not clear if those options also applied to Wagner fighters in Africa.
In the Central African Republic, a statue in the capital, Bangui, pays tribute to Russian mercenaries who have helped keep President Faustin-Archange Touadera in power. Lavrov told RT that hundreds of Russian fighters would remain there.
Regardless of who ultimately oversees the Wagner fighters in the Central African Republic, the source of their authority remains clear, said Jordy Christopher, a special adviser to Touadera. “Prigozhin is nothing more than a pawn in the handling of the art of war, moreover he is only the tip of the iceberg,” he said.
Wagner operates in roughly 30 countries, according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and it faces numerous human rights violations, including extrajudicial killings. Its fighters are most influential in African countries where armed conflicts have forced leaders to turn to Moscow for help, such as Libya and Sudan.
“The African leadership of these countries need them,” said Federica Saini Fasanotti, a senior Fellow at Brookings Institution’s Center for Security, Strategy, and Technology.
Still, some experts said the revolt against the Kremlin will force African countries reliant on Wagner to pay closer attention to how they engage with Russia, where Putin faces the gravest threat to his authority since coming to power more than two decades ago.
“Developments in Russia will likely render many African countries more cautious in their engagement with Russia moving forward,,” said Ryan Cummings, director of Africa-focused security consulting company Signal Risk.
Any unexpected turn of events domestically in Russia poses potential threats to African leaders who have become dependent on its foreign fighters to stay in power, such as those in Mali and the Central African Republic.
“Any withdrawal could readily be exploited by non-state groups challenging the authority of the government in these countries,” said Cummings.

As part of the online nomination process for the 2023 Ball Parks of Dreams initiative, Little League officials, coaches and parents will have the opportunity to share information about their league's greatest needs – including the state of their field's current playing condition and league equipment needs. All nominations will be reviewed by a committee of representatives from Ball Park Buns whose judging criteria will focus on serving teams and fields with the greatest need. Three teams will be selected for field makeovers to be completed by the start of the 2023 Little League season.
"By expanding our selection process to include nominations, we have the opportunity to learn even more about nationwide Little League programs directly from the volunteers that operate them," said Alexandra McDade, Brand Manager, Ball Park Buns & Rolls at Bimbo Bakeries USA. "We believe these deeper insights will help us to better understand the personal connections between a field and its community – enabling us to implement more impactful renovations."
Perfect for grilling, tailgating, parties and more, Ball Park hot dog and hamburger buns are America's favorite buns and deliver fresh taste and outstanding flavor. With many varieties of buns and rolls, it's easy to make Ball Park Buns part of your next meal – and watch the crowd go wild. Ball Park Buns is a part of Bimbo Bakeries USA.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Blowing a 15-point lead in the second half against No. 4 Alabama a week ago got the attention of No. 5 Houston’s players. Coach Kelvin Sampson made sure of it.
It may have helped the Cougars stymie a comeback by No. 2 Virginia on Saturday.
Jarace Walker scored 17 points and Houston used runs in each half and the nation’s best scoring defense to beat the Cavaliers 69-61. The Cougars scored on three straight possessions after a steal and layup by Kihei Clark brought a sellout crowd clad in orange to its feet, exhorting Virginia to rely on its own defense to finish the comeback.
“I’m not sure we’re able to do that without the Alabama experience,” Sampson said.
After Clark pulled the Cavaliers within 54-48, Jamal Shead scored on a drive, Tramon Mark hit a 3-pointer and Walker made a tough fadeaway, keeping the Cavaliers at bay.
“Just keeping our composure when you get a big lead and just be mature and try not to go away from what we’ve been doing, which we did against Alabama,” J’Wan Roberts said. “We watch film and we learn. We grew from that.”
Marcus Sasser and Tramon Mark each added 13 points for the Cougars (11-1), who used a 10-2 run early in the second half to open a 40-30 lead. Virginia (8-1), playing for the first time in 11 days, never got closer than six again, and each time the Cougars answered.
The Cavaliers shot 41.7% (20-48). Coach Tony Bennett said when shots aren’t falling, that makes the quality of play on the defensive end all the more important.
“Today they obviously took advantage of our breakdowns and scored,” Bennett said. “Today the tougher, sounder team on the defensive end won the game.”
Kadin Shedrick scored 16 points and Jayden Gardner had 13 for the Cavaliers, who were hoping to avenge a 67-47 loss last year on the Cougars’ home floor. Houston became the highest-ranked nonconference opponent ever to play Virginia in Charlottesville.
Clark’s steal and layup pulled Virginia within 56-50 with 2:55 to play, but Tramon Mark answered with a 3-pointer for the Cougars, who shot 49% (25-51) against a defense ranked 12th nationally, allowing 57.9 points.
The Cavaliers closed to within 30-28 on Gardner’s basket to open the second half, but the Cougars went on their run, with Walker contributing a three-point play and 3-pointer in the spurt, to lead 40-30.
Virginia scored the first nine points and led 15-7 before going cold. The Cougars outscored them 17-4 over more than 10 minutes to lead 26-19. Houston led 30-26 at halftime.
RARITY
The Cavaliers are the highest-ranked team Houston has faced during the regular season since it met No. 1 Memphis on Feb. 13, 2008.
POLL IMPLICATIONS
The Cavaliers are likely to fall, but not very far, and Houston’s victory on the road is likely to make voters almost forget their 71-65 loss to Alabama a week ago when the Cougars were No. 1 and the Tide were ranked eighth.
BIG PICTURE
Houston: The Cougars arrived with one player, Sasser (16.2), scoring in double figures but had five do it against the Cavaliers. Jamal Shead scored 11 and J’Wan Roberts had 10.
Virginia: The Cavaliers got guard Reece Beekman back after he suffered a hamstring injury in their previous game. Beekman was effective defensively but did not demonstrate the explosive power driving to the basket that typifies his offensive game.
“He didn’t quite have his burst. I thought he was pretty good defensively, not quite as explosive offensively and probably a little fatigued because he hasn’t done much,” Bennett said, adding that Beekman hardly has practiced since the injury.
UP NEXT
The Cougars return home to face McNeese on Wednesday night.
The Cavaliers go on the road to face No. 25 Miami on Tuesday night.

TAIPEI, March 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Earlier this year, ProLogium received a delegation from the French Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty.
The delegation was given a tour of ProLogium's advanced next-generation solid-state battery technology, production processes, and facilities. The French delegates also discussed possible opportunities for cooperation with the ProLogium team, such as building a battery value chain and green industry in France and Europe. Among the delegates were representatives from the French Office in Taipei.
With countries pledging their commitment to reach net zero by 2050, carbon neutrality has shifted from an environmental issue to an economic issue of international industrial competitiveness. The global EV battery market has also become an important part of the strategy to build up circular economy and new industries. Solid-state batteries have been recognized as a disruptive next-generation energy storage technology, achieving key breakthroughs and even surpassing conventional liquid lithium-ion batteries in safety, energy density, fast charging, recyclability and cost.
ProLogium Technology launched its first pre-pilot production line in 2013, and since starting its EV battery roll-to-roll pilot production line in 2017, its manufacturing capacity has been validated by the market for 9 years. The battery maker has achieved 99.9% yield for single-layer cells and 94% yield for multi-layer cells. ProLogium's battery products have also been certified by multiple international third-party tests and standards, including TÜV certifications, UL1642, IEC62133, ISO14001, and UN38.3. In addition, nearly 8,000 pieces of 50-60Ah, EV-scale battery cells have been verified by OEMs, and over 1 million consumer electronics and industrial application battery cells have been sold, laying a solid foundation for future mass production.
The delegation was impressed by the advanced maturity of ProLogium's exclusive next-generation solid-state battery technology, as well as their confidence and enthusiasm for future development. "In response to the evolving ecological, economic, industrial and social challenges of the world, the French government actively promotes public investment plans such as France 2030. ProLogium's upcoming plans to establish overseas materials supply, R&D bases, and gigafactories are very much in alignment with the French government's industrial development strategy," said a representative from the delegation "France's attraction for high-tech talent and its rapidly developing battery industry cluster in northern France make it an ideal location for green projects, and these key projects will receive strong government support from local to the highest level."
"First of all, I would like to thank the French government for its continued encouragement and unwavering support," said Vincent Yang, CEO and founder of ProLogium Technology in his welcome address to the delegation. "The comprehensive planning and policy support for carbon neutrality in France make its green value chain highly attractive, and it is also the reason why France is shortlisted as one of the top 3 candidates for ProLogium's European gigafactory. Europe has a solid foundation in the development of next-generation battery materials. Coupled with ProLogium's next-generation solid-state battery products and manufacturing technology, we expect to accelerate the maturity and commercialization for the next-generation battery supply chain, and play a key role in developing EV battery technology of the future."
About ProLogium
Founded in 2006, ProLogium is an energy innovation firm focused on the R&D and manufacturing of next-generation battery solutions for EV, consumer, and industrial applications. ProLogium is currently the only solid-state battery maker in the world to have demonstrated mass production readiness and capabilities. Its proprietary technologies cover more than 600 (applied and awarded) patents globally. ProLogium's automated pilot production line has supplied nearly 8,000 solid-state battery sample cells to international automotive OEMs for testing and module development. ProLogium's first gigafactory will go online in the first half of 2023 and begin to scale up production in the second half of 2023, which will help accelerate the company's capacity expansions in major markets worldwide.

The deadline for obtaining the Real ID needed to board a domestic flight has been pushed back again, with the Department of Homeland Security citing the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for the slower-than-expected rollout.
The deadline to have a Real ID had been May 3, 2023, but DHS announced Monday that it was pushed back two years, to May 7, 2025.
“This extension will give states needed time to ensure their residents can obtain a REAL ID-compliant license or identification card,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas said in a news release. “DHS will also use this time to implement innovations to make the process more efficient and accessible. We will continue to ensure that the American public can travel safely.”
People are getting compliant IDs as they renew driver’s licenses, but DHS said the pandemic resulted in backlogs at state driver’s license offices. Because of the backlogs, many state agencies that issue driver’s licenses automatically extended expiration dates on licenses and ID cards, rather than issuing licenses and cards compliant with the Real ID requirement.
After the May 2025 deadline, domestic travelers 18 and older on commercial flights must have a Real ID-compliant driver’s license or state photo ID identification card. Real ID also will be required to enter some federal facilities such as military bases.
The Real ID law was passed by Congress in 2005 on a recommendation from the 9/11 Commission. The new form of ID incorporates anti-counterfeiting technology and uses documentary evidence and record checks to ensure a person is who they claim to be.
Enforcement has been delayed several times since the original 2008 deadline. Most recently, in April 2021, DHS extended the deadline to May 2023, also citing how COVID-19 made it harder for states to issue new licenses. DHS said in 2021 that only 43% of state-issued driver’s licenses and ID cars were considered Real ID-compliant. | https://www.koin.com/news/covid-prompts-real-id-deadline-extension/ | 2022-12-06 16:11:12 | 1 | https://www.koin.com/news/covid-prompts-real-id-deadline-extension/ |
Officials: Planes collide over Florida lake, at least 1 dead
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (AP) — Two small planes collided in midair over a central Florida lake Tuesday afternoon, and at least one person was dead, authorities said.
Rescue workers were continuing to search Lake Hartridge in Winter Haven for possible survivors Tuesday evening, Polk County Sheriff’s Office Chief of Staff Steve Lester said during a news conference. One person was pronounced dead after rescuers attempted CPR, he said.
Winter Haven is located about 40 miles (65 kilometers) southwest of Orlando.
The Federal Aviation Administration identified one of the planes as a Piper J-3 floatplane, but the make of the other aircraft wasn’t immediately known.
Deputies said they didn’t immediately know how many people were in the planes, where they had taken off or what caused the crash. The lake where the planes went down is located immediately to the southeast of the Winter Haven Regional Airport.
Witnesses recalled the planes crashing into each other and then immediately falling into the water, Lester said. The wing of one plane was sticking out of the water, while the other aircraft had settled about 21 feet (7 meters) below the surface, officials said.
Lester said the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash.

, Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Winter is coming. You can tell by the bare trees, early sunsets, and layer of frost in the morning. If you haven't winterized your home yet, it isn't too late. Follow these Expert winterization tips from Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning LLC ("Service Experts") to keep your home safe, efficient, and warm this winter.
Tip #1
Schedule Maintenance for Your Heating Equipment
Your furnace has been dormant all summer. To get it ready for another heating season, schedule a visit from a qualified technician to inspect, clean, and tune up the equipment. The most affordable way to keep your heating system in tip-top shape over the years is to sign up for a Maintenance+ membership.
Tip #2
Have Your Fireplace Inspected
Hire a professional to inspect and clean your wood-burning stove or fireplace once a year. This service removes ash, soot, and creosote buildup, which can cause chimney fires. It also gives you peace of mind that the masonry, chimney liner, crown, and other fireplace components are in good condition.
Tip #3
Seal Air Leaks
As you prepare to run your furnace all winter, search for and seal air leaks that allow cold outdoor air to get inside. The easiest way to find leaks is to hold a lit candle or incense stick in areas that might be leaky, such as near windows and doors, recessed light fixtures, plumbing penetrations, and electrical outlets. Then, seal the leaks you find with weather-stripping, caulk, foam gaskets, and expanding spray foam.
Tip #4
Run Ceiling Fans in Reverse
Ceiling fans keep you cool in the summer, but they can also circulate warm air down to the living space in the winter. For the best results, set your fans on low and run them in reverse. This tactic is most effective in stairwells and rooms with vaulted ceilings.
Tip #5
Install Insulating Drapes
Another way to winterize your home is to trade out light, summery window coverings for thick, insulating drapes. Be sure to pull back the drapes during the day so the sun can warm your home for free. Then, close the curtains after dark for added insulation against the cold night air.
Tip #6
Insulate Your Pipes
As the temperature drops, exposed pipes are vulnerable to freezing and bursting. Install foam pipe insulation to plumbing in the garage, crawlspace, or unfinished basement to prevent this. Electric heat tape under the insulation provides an added layer of protection in especially frigid climates.
Tip #7
Install Smoke Alarms & Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Sealing up your house, baking more, and heating with combustion appliances raises the risk of home fires and carbon monoxide poisoning in the winter. Be careful with matches, candles, and other open flames, and make sure your smoke alarms are working. Then, install CO detectors on every floor of your home, especially outside sleeping areas. Test your alarms monthly and change the batteries twice a year.
Tip #8
Upgrade to a Programmable Thermostat
Do you still have an old analog thermostat? You could save on heating bills this winter by upgrading to a programmable model. Pre-programmed settings optimize the temperature at different times of the day, so you can set it and forget it. A Wi-Fi thermostat is a high-tech option that lets you change the settings remotely using an internet-enabled device. You also benefit from automatically generated energy reports and maintenance tips.
Tip #9
Prevent Ice Dams
Ice dams are ridges of ice that form along the eaves, preventing melted snow from draining off the roof. Left unaddressed, ice dams can allow water to flow under the shingles and damage structures in the attic. Follow these tips to prevent ice dams this winter:
- Clean the gutters so water can drain properly.
- Ventilate the attic to prevent heat buildup that can melt snow from below.
- Seal attic floor penetrations to stop heated air from rising through the ceiling.
- Insulate the attic floor to further reduce heat transfer through the ceiling.
- Seal and insulate ductwork running through the attic.
- Make sure your kitchen and bathroom exhaust fans and the dryer vent lead outside, not into the attic.
Tip #10
Keep Deicer Handy
Slips and falls are more common in icy winter weather. Keep your sidewalks and driveway safe by sprinkling salt, kitty litter, or chemical deicer on the pavement to melt the ice and snow. Remember to read the directions for proper application tips and recommended precautions.

Vida Blue, a hard-throwing left-hander who became one of baseball’s biggest draws in the early 1970s and helped lead the brash A’s to three straight World Series titles before his career was derailed by drug problems, died Saturday, according to the team. He was 73.
Blue died at a hospital in San Francisco’s East Bay area of medical complications stemming from cancer, the Oakland Athletics said. Blue had used a walking stick to assist his movement at a 50th anniversary of the 1973 A’s championship team on April 16.
“He was engaging. He was personable. He was caring,” ex-teammate Reggie Jackson said during an interview with The Associated Press on Sunday. “He was uncomfortable with the crowd.”
Blue was voted the 1971 American League Cy Young Award and Most Valuable Player after going 24-8 with a 1.82 ERA and 301 strikeouts with 24 complete games, eight of them shutouts. He was 22 at when he won MVP, the youngest to win the award. He remains among just 11 pitchers to win MVP and Cy Young in the same year.
Blue finished 209-161 with a 3.27 ERA, 2,175 strikeouts, 143 complete games and 37 shutouts over 17 seasons with Oakland (1969-77), San Francisco (1978-81, 85-86) and Kansas City (1982-83). He appeared on the Hall of Fame ballot four times, receiving his most support at 8.7% in 1993, far short of the 75% needed.
“That Hall of Fame thing, that’s something that I can honestly, openly say I wish I was a Hall of Famer,” Blue told The Washington Post in 2021. “And I know for a fact this drug thing impeded my road to the Hall of Fame — so far.”
A six-time All-Star and three-time 20-game winner, Blue helped pitch the Swingin’ A’s, as Charley Finley’s colorful, mustachioed team was known, to consecutive World Series titles from 1972-74. Since then, only the 1998-2000 New York Yankees have accomplished the feat.
He became the first pitcher to start the All-Star Game for both leagues, opening for the AL in 1971 and ‘75 and the NL in ’78.
“I remember watching a 19-year-old phenom dominate baseball, and at the same time alter my life,” Dave Stewart, a four-time 20-game winner for the A’s a generation later, wrote on Twitter. “There are no words for what you have meant to me and so many others.”
Jackson was shocked by how much weight Blue had lost when he saw him at the 50th reunion.
“I did not recognize him,” Jackson said. “I was shattered. I was shaken. That will stick with me the rest of my life.”
Selected by the then Kansas City Athletics on the second round of the 1967 amateur draft, Blue made his big league debut with Oakland on July 20, 1969, about a week shy of his 20th birthday. He made four starts and 12 relief appearances, then spent most of 1970 at Triple-A Iowa.
Called up when rosters expanded, he pitched a one-hit shutout at Kansas City in his second start. In his fourth start, Blue pitched a no-hitter against Minnesota on Sept. 21, at 21 years, 55 days that made him the youngest pitcher to throw a no-hitter since the live ball era started in 1920.
“There are few players with a more decorated career than Vida Blue,” the A’s said in a statement. “Vida will always be a franchise legend and a friend.”
He held out after his MVP season and signed a $50,000 one-year deal. Blue didn’t make his first start of 1972 until May 24 and went 6-10, mostly out of the bullpen. From 1973-76, he went 77-48 but his career World Series record was 0-3.
In 1975, he pitched the first five innings of a no-hitter against the California Angels, but was pulled early by manager Alvin Dark to rest him for the playoffs in a game finished by Glenn Abbott, Paul Lindblad, and Rollie Fingers.
Blue was among the players who assumed leadership roles on the A’s and clashed with Finley.
“We were very young kids,” Jackson said Sunday. “Vida was from Louisiana and Black, and me being Black, being Black in a white league and a white world, was very impactful as to how you handled yourself, how you acted, because you were always colored first.”
Finley attempted in June 1976 to trade Blue to the New York Yankees for $1.5 million and Joe Rudi and Rollie Fingers to the Boston Red Sox for $1 million each. Kuhn vetoed the deals under the commissioner’s authority to act in the “best interest of baseball.” In December 1977, Kuhn stopped Finley from trading Blue to Cincinnati for $1.75 million and minor league first baseman Dave Revering.
Blue was traded to the Giants the following March in a deal that brought Oakland seven players, including outfielder Gary Thomasson and catcher Gary Alexander.
Blue was dealt to the Royals in March 1982 and released in August 1983. He was ordered that December to serve three months in federal prison and fined $5,000 for misdemeanor possession of approximately a tenth of an ounce of cocaine. Blue was sentenced to one year in prison but U.S. Magistrate Judge J. Milton Sullivant suspended the majority of the term.
Blue didn’t play in 1984 and was suspended that July 26 by Major League Baseball through the remainder of the season for illegal drug use.
He returned to baseball with the Giants for two seasons starting in 1985. Blue was among the players ordered by baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth in 1985 to be subject to random drug testing for the rest of their careers.
After his 2005 arrest in Arizona on suspicion of DUI for the third time in less than six years, Blue was sentenced to six months in jail after failing to complete his probation. But he was told he could avoid incarceration by spending time in a residential alcohol treatment program.

L. MILFORD TWP., Pa. - For the last 40 years, Milford Township Fire Company brush truck 1371 has seen a lot of action.
And while it has served the township well, fire officials say it's time the truck is retired.
"She has been known as the old beast, the old girl," said firefighter Brian McKee.
1371 is now up for sale on Municibid.com so Lower Milford can buy a new truck.
"It doesn't meet the new NFPA standards for safety, it's getting harder to get parts for," said Fire Inspector Scott Moser.
The truck's page has more than 4,000 views and nearly 50 bids so far.
So, what will the winning bidder get?
A well-kept and very shiny truck with roughly 24,000 miles. But that's not the cool part.
1371 has a 250-gallon water tank with a retractable hose, not to mention the sprayers on the front grille.
Fire officials say it could be ideal for farming. They say because of all of the storage compartments, it would make a great work truck.
Moser says there's even been talk about souping it up and turning it into a hot rod.
"I've seen dragsters very similar," said Moser.
While it may end up with neon flames painted on the side, two things it won't have are lights and sirens. Unless it goes to another fire company, those are staying in Lower Milford.
"She's going to be definitely missed, especially by the older members because she is a great truck," said McKee.
If you have always dreamed of owning a fire truck you have until 7 p.m. on May 30 to place a winning bid.
The proceeds from the sale will help pay for a replacement truck and equipment.
The new truck has already been ordered using funds from a township fire tax and should arrive sometime in the next few weeks. | https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/lower-milford-twp-fire-company-auctioning-off-1983-brush-truck-that-fire-officials-say-is/article_36cbad1a-fbfa-11ed-97f9-97414beaa5a8.html | 2023-05-26 23:39:51 | 1 | https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/lower-milford-twp-fire-company-auctioning-off-1983-brush-truck-that-fire-officials-say-is/article_36cbad1a-fbfa-11ed-97f9-97414beaa5a8.html |
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — A judge unsealed a dropped bomb threat case Thursday against the Colorado gay bar shooting suspect who threatened to become the “next mass killer” over a year before allegedly killing five people and wounding seventeen others at the LGBTQ enclave Club Q.
Judge Robin Chittum said the “proufound” public interest in the case outweighed the privacy rights of defendant Anderson Lee Aldrich. The judge added that scrutiny of judicial cases is “foundational to our system of government."
“The only way for that scrutiny to occur is for this to be unsealed,” she said.
Aldrich was arrested in June 2021 on allegations of making a bomb threat that led to the evacuation of about 10 homes. Aldrich, who uses they/them pronouns and is nonbinary according to their attorneys, had threatened to harm their own family and boasted of having bomb making materials, ammunition and multiple weapons, according to law enforcement documents. They were booked into jail on suspicion of felony menacing and kidnapping.
The case was later dropped and officials to date have refused to speak about what happened, citing a state law that calls for dismissed cases to be sealed.
Aldrich's alleged statements that he intended to become “ the next mass killer ” foretold last month's mass shooting and have raised questions over why authorities did not seek to seize Aldrich’s guns under Colorado’s “red flag” law.
Aldrich also was the subject of a tip received by the FBI a day before the bomb threat. Agents closed out the case just weeks later.
The judge’s order to release the records comes after news organizations, including The Associated Press, sought to unseal the documents from Aldrich’s 2021 arrest.
Under Colorado law, records are automatically sealed when a case is dropped and defendants are not prosecuted as happened in Aldrich’s 2021 case. Once sealed, officials cannot acknowledge that the records exist and the process to unseal the documents initially happens behind closed doors with no docket to follow and an unnamed judge.
“This is one of the strangest hearings I think I’ve ever had,” said Chittum. “I’m having a hearing about a case that none of us is to recognize.”
It was unknown when unsealed documents will be posted online. Chittum ruled despite objections from the suspect’s attorney and mother.
Public defender Joseph Archambault argued that while the public has an interest in the case, Aldrich’s right to a fair trial was paramount.
“This will make sure there is no presumption of innocence,” said Archambault.
Aldrich sat at the defense table looking straight ahead or down at times and did not appear to show any reaction when their mother’s lawyer asked that the case not be unsealed.
An attorney for Aldrich’s mother argued that unsealing the case would increase the likelihood that Laura Voepel would suffer harm harassment, intimidation or retaliation.
Aldrich’s attorneys told the judge the defense filed a contempt of court motion against the sheriff’s office over an AP story that detailed what was in some of the sealed documents. The documents were obtained by Colorado Springs TV station KKTV and verified as authentic to the AP by a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the sealed case and kept anonymous. Judge Chittum did not rule on the motion but said she would not let it hold up her decision about unsealing the case.
The Associated Press verified a copy of the sealed documents with a law enforcement official that described Aldrich telling frightened grandparents of firearms and bomb-making material in their basement, vowing not to allow them to interfere in plans to kill on a mass scale.
Aldrich then pointed a Glock handgun at the grandparents as they pleaded for their lives and said, “You guys die today … I’m loaded and ready.”
The documents say the grandparents ran out of the house while Aldrich stepped away and called 911. Aldrich then holed up in a home nearby where the mother was living while a SWAT team and bomb squad stood outside with rifles raised and bomb sniffing dogs. At one point, Aldrich yelled that he would set off a bomb if law enforcement tried to enter before finally surrendering.
The law enforcement official who confirmed the documents to the AP was not authorized to talk about them and so was given anonymity.

An agent for a prominent college athlete finally said out loud what schools likely hear in private: Pay the player more, or he will transfer to a school that will.
The brazen demand made on behalf of University of Miami basketball star Isaiah Wong last week provided a rare, unvarnished glimpse into the way elite college sports have been transformed by student-athletes’ rights to earn money through endorsements.
Teammates are comparing contracts. Players’ financial backers are swapping barbs. And coaches and administrators are struggling to keep their rosters full — and players happy -- without running afoul of the rules.
If Wong’s agent didn’t technically cross the bounds of what’s permissible -- players can’t seek payment simply in return for a promise to play at a specific school — then he firmly planted his foot on the line, according to labor experts.
“We are rapidly moving toward professionalization at full market rate for these NCAA players," said Michael LeRoy, labor law professor at the University of Illinois. "It’s very clear it's really not about endorsements, it’s about paying guys for their performance.”
Until recently, endorsement deals — or any compensation other than scholarships -- were strictly off limits for college athletes. Paying students was seen as a threat to the ideal of amateur sports. But legal challenges by athletes seeking to reap some of the billions of dollars schools were earning off of sports forced change. In 2019, California became the first state to pass a law allowing athletes to earn money on endorsements, autograph signings and other activities, and by July 2021, the NCAA lifted its decades-old ban.
The NCAA left in place only loosely defined guidelines: the deals could not be used to entice recruits or as a form of pay-for-play contracts.
Wong, who has apparently opted to stay at Miami, surely wasn’t the first player to have a representative make a demand based on a player's perceived market value, and he won’t be the last, experts said.
“He was just the first to be so public about it,” said Todd Berry, executive director of the American Football Coaches Association.
Tens of thousands of athletes across many sports have cashed in, according to Opendorse, a firm that works with schools on player-compensation matters ranging from from brand-building to compliance.
Deals can be worth as little as a few hundred dollars; some reportedly top $1 million. Football players earn the most, followed by women’s and men’s basketball players, according to Opendorse. Endorsements can be found far and wide, even in seemingly low-profile sports such as golf, rowing and hockey.
So far, it’s only been individual players like landing big deals, but that could change. LeRoy, the labor law professor, wondered what would happen if players from the same basketball team made a joint demand for more generous endorsement pay, putting a program in a bind.
It's easier for a football team to bounce back if players seeking better endorsements transfer to other schools because the rosters are larger than in basketball. But keeping everyone happy is a challenge for coaches.
“All 85 players are your roster and free agents every year,” Berry said. “This is a professional model. It's not a collegiate model anymore.”
TCU football coach Sonny Dykes said recruits routinely ask about endorsement deals.
“Basically, all we can do is pass on a number and say, ’Hey, you can talk to this guy, and he’ll tell you what we can or can’t do.' It’s really that simple,” Dykes said. “The concern for me is that somebody makes a promise to a kid and doesn’t follow through. We have no control over that.”
In many cases, the people to call are the ones running so-called collectives, sports marketing agencies that have sprung up to support specific schools and facilitate deals between their athletes and businesses such as apparel companies, energy drink companies, car dealerships and restaurants.
At Texas, one group is dangling $50,000 a year to individual offensive linemen for work supporting community charities, such as in-person appearances, promotions or representation. At the University of Oregon, billionaire Nike founder Phil Knight is part of group helping Ducks athletes line up deals.
Nigel Pack, a men's basketball player who transferred to Miami from Kansas State, signed with the software company LifeWallet for $800,00, plus the use of a car for two years. UConn basketball player Paige Bueckers last year was the first college athlete to sign a deal to represent Gatorade.
A large majority of athletic directors worry that collectives are improperly using endorsement contracts to recruit players from high schools or other colleges, according to a survey released Wednesday by LEAD1, an association of athletic directors at the 130 schools in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
“This is a transformational period in college sports and the results of our survey illustrate that (athletic directors) are extremely concerned with a number of key issues,” LEAD1 President Tom McMillen said.
The NCAA, the governing body of college sports, has taken a mostly hands-off approach since allowing endorsement deals, and more than two dozen states have laws allowing endorsement deals. Most of the state laws include the ban on pay-for-play.
But as cases like Wong's illustrate how quickly college sports is changing, there is new pressure to study the issue. On Thursday, the commissioners of the Southeastern Conference and Pac-12, two of the wealthiest leagues in college sports, were scheduled to meet with lawmakers in Washington to lobby for some federal regulations, which could include possible bans on using endorsement contracts as recruiting inducements and pay-for-play deals.
Leagues, schools and some coaches worry the new free-for-all upends competitive balance, disrupts rosters and pushes more control over athletic programs to outside forces.
What caught many by surprise is how quickly deep-pocketed collectives and wealthy individuals aligned with major colleges poured in to raise and dangle millions of dollars in front of athletes.
“Nobody anticipated these collectives forming a year ago,“ LeRoy said. "It shows us how out of control the whole system is. It has become a way for schools to find a third-party payer for their athletic talent.”
Even financial backers can get caught off guard when an athlete decides the money isn't big enough, or when a teammate perhaps becomes a financial rival.
Mit Winter, a sports law and business attorney in Kansas City, Missouri, said some deals are pushing the boundaries, and making it seem as if players are simply getting paid to play, as opposed to being compensated at market rates for endorsements.
“Arguably these deals are violating NCAA rules and sometimes even state laws,” Winter said. “That's kind of the big question: Is the NCAA ever going to start investigating some of these deals?"
Some point to a future of collective bargaining between athletes and schools. That would mean schools treating athletes more like employees, which they have resisted.
Last September, the top lawyer for National Labor Relations Board said in a memo that college athletes should be treated as employees of their schools. That established a potential path for athletes to unionize or bargain over working conditions.
Collective bargaining would require some flexibility and creative thinking by schools and conferences. It could also let them bring their institutional power into negotiations with athletes, who may have competing interests, such as gender equity and different health and safety needs across multiple sports.
“It would be a nervous moment for teams and leagues. They don’t have experience with it and their TV contracts would be unsettled,” LeRoy said. “But at the end of the day, they would be able to get a stable kind of resolution to their labor problems.”

Arizona Cardinals lose at home against the Los Angeles Chargers, 25-24
GLENDALE, AZ (3TV/CBS 5) - After an embarrassing loss in Mexico City, the Cardinals fell again Sunday to the Los Angeles Chargers, losing 25-24.
Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was back on the field in State Farm Stadium after being out the last two weeks due to a hamstring injury. Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins’ 33-yard touchdown gave the Cardinals an early lead in the first quarter, putting the score at 0-7. This was the Cardinals’ second first-quarter touchdown of the season.
However, the Cardinals couldn’t stay on top as the Chargers scored two touchdowns in 4 minutes, jumping ahead of the Red Birds 14-10 in the second quarter.
The Cardinals came back strong in the second half when Murray scored a touchdown putting the Red Birds back on top, 14-17. A field goal from the Chargers tied the game, 17-17, at the end of the third quarter.
Cardinals’ James Conner scored a touchdown at the beginning of the fourth quarter, putting the Cards in the lead, 24-17. The Red Birds were unable to hold the lead as the Chargers scored a touchdown and then went for the 2-point conversion to put them on top 25-24.
The Cardinals have a week off before playing the New England Patriots at State Farm Stadium on Dec. 12 at 6:15 p.m.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — The Idaho Supreme Court will hear arguments in a lawsuit over the state's newest anti-abortion law in August — likely after the U.S. Supreme Court issues a ruling that could overturn the right to legalized abortion nationwide.
The Idaho Supreme Court announced Wednesday that it would hear oral arguments on Aug. 3 in the lawsuit brought by a regional Planned Parenthood organization against Idaho's new law banning abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy, before most people know they are pregnant.
The law seeks to stop access to abortions while avoiding constitutional court challenges by allowing potential relatives of the fetus or embryo to sue abortion providers for at least $20,000 in damages within four years of an abortion. The law prohibits rapists from filing such lawsuits, but a rapist's relatives could.
Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawaii, Alaska, Indiana, Kentucky operates 40 health centers across six states. In its lawsuit, the organization contends the Idaho law is unconstitutional because it violates a individual's right to privacy and its enforcement mechanism violates the separation of powers.
The U.S. Supreme Court is likely to issue a ruling in a separate case in June or July that is expected to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that legalized abortion nationwide. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, another Idaho anti-abortion law enacted in 2020 will go into effect. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Idaho-Supreme-Court-sets-hearing-in-abortion-case-17215681.php | 2022-06-02 20:13:30 | 0 | https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/Idaho-Supreme-Court-sets-hearing-in-abortion-case-17215681.php |

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Internet Explorer is finally headed out to pasture.
As of Wednesday, Microsoft will no longer support the once-dominant browser that legions of web surfers loved to hate — and a few still claim to adore. The 27-year-old application now joins BlackBerry phones, dial-up modems and Palm Pilots in the dustbin of tech history.
IE’s demise was not a surprise. A year ago, Microsoft said that it was putting an end to Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022, pushing users to its Edge browser, which was launched in 2015.
The company made clear then it was time to move on.
“Not only is Microsoft Edge a faster, more secure and more modern browsing experience than Internet Explorer, but it is also able to address a key concern: compatibility for older, legacy websites and applications,” Sean Lyndersay, general manager of Microsoft Edge Enterprise, wrote in a May 2021 blog post.
Users marked Explorer’s passing on Twitter, with some referring to it as a “bug-ridden, insecure POS” or the “top browser for installing other browsers.” For others it was a moment for 90′s nostalgia memes, while The Wall Street Journal quoted a 22-year-old who was sad to see IE go.
Microsoft released the first version of Internet Explorer in 1995, the antediluvian era of web surfing dominated by the first widely popular browser, Netscape Navigator. Its launch signaled the beginning of the end of Navigator: Microsoft went on to tie IE and its ubiquitous Windows operating system together so tightly that many people simply used it by default instead of Navigator.
The Justice Department sued Microsoft in 1997, saying it violated an earlier consent decree by requiring computer makers to use its browser as a condition of using Windows. It eventually agreed to settle the antitrust battle in 2002 over its use of its Windows monopoly to squash competitors. It also tangled with European regulators who said that tying Internet Explorer to Windows gave it an unfair advantage over rivals such as Mozilla’s Firefox, Opera and Google’s Chrome.
Users, meanwhile, complained that IE was slow, prone to crashing and vulnerable to hacks. IE’s market share, which in the early 2000s was over 90%, began to fade as users found more appealing alternatives.
Today, the Chrome browser dominates with roughly a 65% share of the worldwide browser market, followed by Apple’s Safari with 19%, according to internet analytics company Statcounter. IE’s heir, Edge, lags with about about 4%, just ahead of Firefox. | https://www.twincities.com/2022/06/14/so-long-internet-explorer-the-browser-retires-today/ | 2022-06-16 00:38:03 | 1 | https://www.twincities.com/2022/06/14/so-long-internet-explorer-the-browser-retires-today/ |
