WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said Thursday she is stepping down as New Zealand’s leader and will not contest this year’s general elections.
Fighting back tears, Ardern told reporters in Napier that Feb. 7 will be her last day in office.
“I am entering now my sixth year in office, and for each of those years, I have given my absolute all,” she said.
Ardern described her job as among the most privileged but challenging jobs and said doing it required having a reserve to face the unexpected. She said she no longer had the reserve to face another term in office.
She said her time in office has been fulfilling but challenging. “But I am not leaving because it was hard. Had that been the case I probably would have departed two months into the job. I am leaving because with such a privileged role, comes responsibility, the responsibility to know when you are the right person to lead, and also, when you are not. I know what this job takes, and I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice. It is that simple,” she said.
Ardern had faced a tough election campaign this year. Her liberal Labour Party won reelection two years ago in a landslide of historic proportions, but recent polls have put her party behind its conservative rivals.
She was lauded globally for her country’s initial handling of the coronavirus pandemic after New Zealand managed for months to stop the virus at its borders. But that zero-tolerance strategy was abandoned once it was challenged by new variants and vaccines became available.
She faced tougher criticism at home that the strategy was too strict.
Ardern in December announced a Royal Commission of Inquiry would look into whether the government made the right decisions in battling COVID-19 and how it can better prepare for future pandemics. Its report is due next year. | https://www.wivb.com/news/national/jacinda-ardern-to-step-down-as-new-zealand-prime-minister/ | 2023-01-19 01:48:20 | 1 | https://www.wivb.com/news/national/jacinda-ardern-to-step-down-as-new-zealand-prime-minister/ |
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Espanyol was held by Valencia to 1-1 at home on Saturday, a day after the club fired its coach and sports director with two games remaining in the Spanish league.
The result was somewhat meaningless to both sides, who are destined to finish near the middle of the table and out of both the relegation battle and the berths for European competition.
Espanyol striker Raúl de Tomás equalized in first-half injury time after the opener from Maxi Gómez. De Tomás took his league tally to 17 goals.
Espanyol fired coach Vicente Moreno and sports director Francisco “Rufete” Pérez on Friday with its fans angry about the team’s poor finish to the season.
Reserve team coach Luis Blanco took over as caretaker.
“Given the strange situation we faced after the change of coach and sports director, I think the team responded well,” Espanyol midfielder David López said.
López teared up in the post-match interview when asked about his future, which is in doubt along with other veteran players such as 40-year-old goalkeeper Diego López.
“The most important thing is to give it your all,” he said after regaining his composure.
Valencia remained in 10th and Espanyol in 13th.
The match was the only game of the second-to-last round not to be played on Sunday at 7:30 p.m. local time, when several teams will try to avoid relegation.

Expanded product lines now available for MOOG ball joints, control arms, tie rods and others
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MOOG®, the industry-leading steering and suspension brand from Tenneco Inc.'s (NYSE: TEN) DRiV group, recently announced 79 new part numbers for its ball joints, control arms, tie rods and more during the third quarter 2022, bringing the total number of new parts available this year to 148.
New parts include four control arm and ball joint assemblies: CK620889, front right lower; CK621474, front right upper; RK623739 front right lower; and RK623740, front left lower. Part number CK620889 is now available for the following vehicles: 2019-2015 Cadillac Escalade ESV and Escalade; 2019-2015 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, and 2019-2014 Silverado 1500; and 2019-2015 GMC Yukon XL and Yukon, and 2019-2014 Sierra 1500. This offers expanded coverage to nearly 5.5 million vehicles in operation (VIO). Covering over 1.8 million VIO, part number CK621474 is also new for the 2020-2005 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner. Part numbers RK623739 (front right lower) and RK623740 (front right upper) are first-to-market parts for the 2019-2017 Cadillac XT5 and GMC Acadia (covering nearly 550,000 VIO).
Also new for nearly 3.7 million VIO is part number RK643661 (rear upper) for 2020-2016 Honda Civic, 2021-2017 CR-V, and 2019 Insight. Additionally, control arm bushings (part number K202089, rear upper outer) are available for over 2.2 VIO, covering the 2017-2008 Buick Enclave; 2017-2009 Chevrolet Traverse; 2017 GMC Acadia Limited and 2016-2007 Acadia; and 2010-2007 Saturn Outlook.

MOOG continues to raise the bar for control arm excellence by constantly testing and developing new engineering solutions to improve vehicle ride and performance. Application-specific innovations to MOOG premium control arms include induction-hardened studs and carbon fiber-reinforced bearings with PTFE. Induction-hardened studs provide added strength, while the patent-pending carbon fiber-reinforced bearings reduce socket friction compared to typical non-reinforced bearings, providing longer socket life. Premium control arms also feature enhanced structural strength and increased corrosion resistance.
Earlier this year, MOOG introduced its High Utilization hub assemblies. Building upon its long history of Problem Solver methodology, design and technology, these improved MOOG products feature enhancements for reliability, durability, and lasting performance in truck applications, even in challenging, high-usage conditions. New application-specific components include a new heat shield to protect the ABS sensor cable in high-heat conditions; a next generation outboard bearing race design integrated into the spindle for increased strength and durability; and an enhanced inboard seal and Grime Defense outboard seal to provide maximum protection against water, salt, dust, and road dirt.
"As we've shown throughout 2022, MOOG engineers constantly strive to create and enhance our products to exceed our customers' expectations for durability, quality, and availability," said Adam Richardson, Brand and Product Director, MOOG. "We design every part to an exact specification and make sure they are tested to our high standards, so it's easy for us to stand behind the MOOG name as The Problem Solver."

Though Opening Day for Major League Baseball is March 30, down in Savannah, Georgia, Banana Ball is already in full swing.
The adaptation is a bizarro version of baseball championed by the Savannah Bananas, an exhibition team that has sold out every game since their inaugural season in 2016.
The Bananas have taken the sports world by storm. Nearly half a million people are on the waitlist for their cross-country tour and the team has more followers on TikTok than any team in the Major League.
But the team is more than just a social media phenomenon. Big Leaguers are also catching on: over the weekend, the Bananas played a team of retired MLB players under the rules of Banana Ball.
Counting down the seconds to Show Time 🤭 pic.twitter.com/Nx9jX5TKII
— Savannah Bananas (@TheSavBananas) March 11, 2023
"This is not your granddad's pastime!" boomed the Bananas' announcer before the start of the game.
It certainly is not. Banana Ball follows a set of nine highly unorthodox rules. Among them, there is a strict two-hour time limit, batters get a strike if they step out of the batter's box, and, perhaps the most popular rule: if a fan catches a foul ball, the batter is out.
But the antics don't stop there. A chant of "We will, we will peel you!" regularly plays over the speaker system to the tune of Queen's "We Will Rock You." There's also a pep band and a cheerleading squad of grandmas: the "Banana Nanas."
The Bananas used to play in the collegiate summer wood-bat Coastal Plain League, with occasional Banana Ball games. At the end of last season however, those became so popular that the team announced they would peel away to play nothing but Banana Ball.
Most games are played against the Party Animals, a team fielded by the Bananas. But part of their schedule this year consists of so-called "challenger games," featuring other squads, the MLB retirees among them.
The Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association (MLBPAA) put together an ad-hoc roster that faced the Bananas Saturday night.
Time to see if we can teach an old dog new tricks 😉 See you on the Banana Ball field @MLBPAA 🤝

"Now batting: Johnny Damon!" thundered the announcer, introducing the 18-year MLB veteran.
Damon is perhaps best known for helping the Boston Red Sox end their 86-year-long World Series drought in 2004. Though he came up clutch in that postseason, he was hitless in three at-bats against the Bananas.
The rest of the retired Major Leaguers fared about the same, scoring just one point among them.
That's another thing: these games have points, not runs. One point is awarded to whichever team scores the most runs in an inning, regardless of the actual run total. This keeps the games close and creates the opportunity for walk-offs during the bottom of any inning. That's what happened this weekend.
In the bottom of the eighth inning, the tallest player in all of baseball hobbled slowly toward the batter's box.
"Please welcome Dakota "Stilts" Albritton!" announced Bananas owner Jesse Cole.
Cole serves as a sort of ringleader for every game, dressing in a yellow tuxedo and yellow top hat — his routine uniform.
Standing 10 feet, 9 inches tall on stilts, Albritton rose to the occasion with a runner in scoring position.
"That one's cranked down the third-base line, fair!" yelled Bananas broadcaster Biko Scalla over the team's live stream on YouTube. "And the Bananas are going to walk the inning off!"

In the end, the Major Leaguers lost,5-1. But Johnny Damon was in good spirits regardless.
"Obviously, we want to win every time we get out there," Damon said. "But it was fantastic. Everybody's leaving here happy."
Former Oakland Athletics outfielder Billy Burns assessed his team's performance as "horrible," but laughed it off.
"You could tell all of us hadn't played in years. But it was a really cool experience," he said. "I've never played anything like that. And it was way faster-paced than I thought, so I was exhausted after like the second inning."
Team MLBPAA will get another crack at it later this year: the Bananas have scheduled two more games against them, as part of their 33-city national exhibition tour.
Damon says the MLB can learn from how the Bananas appeal to a bunch of different groups: "They're bringing everything for the fans — for the grandmas, for the babies, for the kids."
His mother even got in on the fun, participating in a between-the-innings race of grandmas from third base to home plate.
First Challenger game of the year against the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association was electric from the dances to the dingers ⚡️

The Bananas host a "fan fest" outside the ballpark after every home game at Grayson Stadium. The celebration is full of chanting, dancing and autograph-signing. This weekend was no different.
"It was awesome," Bananas shortstop Ryan Cox said at the fan fest. "You watch those guys on TV growing up, you model your game after a lot of them. Sharing the same field was just the coolest thing I've ever done on a baseball field."

Pope Francis to miss Way of the Cross event in cold Rome
VATICAN CITY (AP) — The Vatican says Pope Francis, who was recently hospitalized for bronchitis, won’t preside over Good Friday’s late-night Way of the Cross event due to extremely cold weather in Rome.
It said that instead of presiding over the torch-lit procession at the Colosseum, Francis will watch from the hotel where he lives in the Vatican.
He will still attend the earlier Passion of the Lord celebration at St. Peter’s Basilica, the Vatican added. There, the cross will be unveiled before it goes to the Colosseum for the procession.
Francis, 86, was discharged from a Rome hospital on Saturday following treatment for bronchitis. The Vatican said at the time that he would carry out the complete Holy Week schedule, including the Way of the Cross procession and Easter Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square.
On Thursday, he presided over Mass in St. Peter’s Basilica and later washed and dried the feet of a dozen residents of a Rome juvenile prison in a ritual symbolizing humility.

** Credit Union Encourages San Diego County Teachers to Apply for an Innovative Class Project Grant **
SAN DIEGO, August 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- North Island Credit Union encourages San Diego County teachers who have an innovative class project idea to apply for a credit union grant through its biannual Teacher Grant program.
The North Island Credit Union grant program is available to full-time teachers in San Diego and Riverside County, or credit union members teaching in California, looking to fund special learning opportunities for their students. The project should have clearly defined learning objectives tied to students' academic needs, display creativity, and benefit a significant number of students. Ten North Island Credit Union grants of $500 each will be awarded to area teachers in late October in the fall program.
"Over the last decade of providing teacher grants, we've seen some amazing programs come to life. We hope our local teachers will make their dream project a reality by applying for a fall grant," said North Island Credit Union President/CEO Steve O'Connell. "Our goal is to provide a little extra support for teachers, who work so hard to engage their students in innovative ways. We look forward to reviewing this fall's inspiring applications."

President Biden’s meeting Tuesday with Israeli President Isaac Herzog has already drawn fire from both sides of the political spectrum, as the president seeks to advance his policies in the Middle East despite strained relations with Jerusalem.
The meeting between Biden and Herzog will help lay the groundwork for a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the fall. But it will also highlight Biden’s concerns about Israel’s future as a democracy and escalating violence with Palestinians.
Biden is outspoken in his criticism against extreme members of Netanyahu’s government and plans to push ahead with judicial reforms that have spurred mass protests in Israel. Herzog is viewed as a key mediator in managing tensions between Washington and Jerusalem.
“I am certain that behind-the-scenes Biden will be communicating to Herzog all of the different ways in which the administration is upset with the Israeli government and with the direction that Israel is taking,” said Michael Koplow, chief policy officer of Israel Policy Forum, a nonprofit that supports a two-state solution to the Israeli and Palestinian conflict.
“I think that in this case, Herzog is more of a conduit to relay messages back to Netanyahu.”
While the Israeli president is typically a figurehead, Herzog’s visit to Washington this week and speech to a joint session of Congress Wednesday will make him a target for criticism from lawmakers split over support for the U.S. and Israel relationship.
Progressive Democrats extremely critical of Israeli policies toward the Palestinians and Netanyahu’s right-wing government are planning on boycotting the speech.
They are drawing pushback from centrist Democrats who support a strong U.S. and Israel relationship but want Biden to exercise a stronger hand in raising American concerns about Netanyahu’s government.
And Republicans are likely to use that split to promote themselves as the only party resolutely supporting Israel in the face of existential dangers ranging from terrorism to Iran’s nuclear threats.
Even though Biden extended an invitation for Netanyahu to visit the U.S. during a phone call Monday, it came nearly seven months after the divisive Israeli leader was sworn into office — a perceived snub also likely to be seized upon by the GOP.
“What this Biden administration has done, I think has been disgraceful, the way they treat a strong ally like Prime Minister Netanyahu has been disgraceful,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a leading GOP presidential contender, said in remarks Monday at the Christians United For Israel Conference.
DeSantis further called for Biden to “butt out” of the split in Israel over Netanyahu’s judicial reforms package and spoke out against forcing “a quote, two-state solution” with the Palestinians.
Mainstream Republicans are unlikely to abandon a U.S. policy supporting a two-state solution — that has an Israeli state living side by side with an independent Palestinian state — but they are less forceful on calling for Israel to make concessions to the Palestinian Authority.
Biden has sought to walk a tightrope on U.S. policy toward Israel, balancing Republican calls for military support with demands from some Democrats to support the Palestinian people.
Biden has held back on criticizing Israeli military operations targeting Palestinian terrorism in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with those operations drawing intense criticism from progressive Democrats over Palestinian civilian casualties caught up in the fighting.
But the president has spoken out against the Israeli government’s pursuit of judicial reforms that have drawn unprecedented opposition on the Israeli street. The U.S. has also criticized the Israeli government for greenlighting settlement expansion that they view as undercutting a potential, future Palestinian state.
But these criticisms have not halted the administration’s pursuit of its overarching goal in the region: establishing ties between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
The normalization of relations between the regional powers could have ripple effects across the Middle East, changing the balance of power to pressure Iran to rein in its aggressive behavior and giving Biden a major foreign policy achievement to tout on the 2024 campaign trail.
“It’s clear that the administration is trying to get a breakthrough on Saudi Arabia and to try to get an interim deal … with Iran to avoid a deterioration, I think there’s no doubt that that is where their energy is,” said David Makovsky, Ziegler Distinguished Fellow at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
But he added that it’s unclear if a three-way agreement between the U.S., Israel and Saudi Arabia will have a Palestinian component.
The Trump administration’s breakthrough Abraham Accords — establishing ties between Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain — came with Netanyahu’s concession to halt plans to annex territory in the West Bank that Palestinians want as part of any future state.
“Israel definitely, definitely wants to see a breakthrough with Riyadh … so will that leave Netanyahu to make concessions? … that’s going to be a point of contention within the government,” he said.
Undermining Biden’s efforts to bridge divides between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority are far-right members of Netanyahu’s coalition, who promote settlement expansion and incite violence toward Palestinians. This includes Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir.
“In terms of where we are in current U.S.-Israel relations, things obviously are tense and I think, in my view, the overwhelming majority of that should be laid at the feet of Netanyahu and his government,” the Israel Policy Forum’s Koplow said.
While Biden’s delayed invitation to Netanyahu was viewed as a major snub against the prime minister, some progressive Democrats call Herzog’s visit a distinction without a difference.
“Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s address comes on behalf of the most right wing government in Israel’s history, at a time when the government is openly promising to ‘crush’ Palestinian hopes of statehood—essentially putting a nail in the coffin of peace and a two-state solution,” tweeted Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.).
Omar said “there is no way in hell” she would attend Herzog’s speech to Congress, joining a handful of progressive lawmakers who are boycotting his address.
Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) called Omar and others “a small splinter, fringe element” of the Democratic party that does not represent the overall strong support for the U.S. and Israel relationship.
Still, the meeting between Biden and Herzog marks an “inflection point” in the future of the U.S. relationship with Israel, said , director of the Israel, The Palestinian Territories, and the Region program at the U.S. Institute of Peace.
Biden’s pursuit of a two-state solution while Netanyahu and his government are openly hostile against it, in addition to a “deeply unpopular Palestinian leadership with its own people” that has effectively lost control of parts of the West Bank, is clouding the path forward for U.S. relations in the Middle East.
“There doesn’t seem to be a clear horizon right now of what comes next,” she said. | https://www.ksn.com/hill-politics/biden-takes-fire-from-both-sides-ahead-of-herzog-meeting/ | 2023-07-18 10:59:06 | 1 | https://www.ksn.com/hill-politics/biden-takes-fire-from-both-sides-ahead-of-herzog-meeting/ |
There are a whopping 29 players at Yankee spring training who were invited without any guarantee of making the roster.
Non-roster invitees, players who are not currently on the 40-man roster but can compete for a spot on it, rarely leave much of an impact. But it’s fairly common for at least one to, at the very least, make the team out of camp. Last year that was Marwin Gonzalez for the Yankees, who had a very forgettable tenure in pinstripes, but showed that the Yankees are open to rewarding a good spring performance with a place in the clubhouse and all of the cushy perks that go with it.
Of these 29 players, roughly 25 or so will fade into the dustbin of history. But a good few weeks in Tampa can be enough to earn them a spot somewhere in some organization, whether that’s with the Yankees or another team that wants to take a shot on them.
Looking at this year’s crop of Yankee NRI’s, four seem to have the best shot of making the team, though that still remains unlikely for all of them unless a more qualified teammate gets hurt or traded.
RYAN WEBER
Projecting the Yankee bullpen, we know for sure that Clay Holmes, Jonathan Loaisiga, Wandy Peralta, Michael King, Lou Trivino, Tommy Kahnle and Ron Marinaccio will all break camp with the big-league team barring injury. Whichever half of the German-Clarke Schmidt duo that doesn’t grab the final slot in the starting rotation is likely to get the eighth bullpen spot. But if the Yankees elect to give the fifth starter job to German and send Schmidt to the minors, Weber stands the likeliest chance of crashing the party among the non-roster invitees.
Weber is 32 years old and made his MLB debut way back in 2015. This is not some wide-eyed kid at his first rodeo. Though he’s never set the world on fire in his 68 outings in The Show, Weber put up solid numbers in 2022, both at the minor and major league levels. In a limited five-game run with the Yankees, he allowed just one earned run, a solo home run to Rays’ catcher Francisco Mejia.
In a larger sample from Triple-A, the veteran righty put up a respectable 3.86 ERA in 39.2 innings. He is not going to strike many hitters out, but he has been around the block enough times for the Yankees to trust him. Weber is also out of minor league options, which could help his case. The same is true of 26-year-old Albert Abreu, though. Abreu has had a turbulent time with the big club over the last three years but offers a much higher upside and is already on the 40-man roster.
WILLIE CALHOUN
It’s not every day that a team gives up on a guy under 30 years old with as much latent potential as Willie Calhoun.
That is exactly what the Texas Rangers did to the power-hitting kid they got in the Yu Darvish trade, though. Calhoun was Texas’ second-ranked prospect in 2018, and in 2019 he mashed 21 homers for the Rangers in just 83 games. In many ways, Calhoun was to the Rangers what Clint Frazier was to the Yankees, a highly-touted outfield prospect with several tantalizing skills that never quite put it together for a consistent period of time.
Calhoun’s 2019 campaign is far better than anything Frazier produced in the bigs, though. Unlocking the power that allowed Calhoun to slug .524 that year is definitely something the Yankees’ hitting coaches are interested in. They already struck gold last year by scooping up a left-handed hitter from the Rangers’ scrap heap, though that one (Matt Carpenter) had a far longer track record of MLB success.
The knock on Calhoun is that he doesn’t have a true position on defense — Statcast’s Outs Above Average graded him as one of the 20 worst outfielders in the entire league in 2019 — and he doesn’t walk. He improved that walk rate tremendously last season, though, which was admittedly just 22 games split between the Rangers and Giants. A strong camp from Calhoun could still be enough to earn him this year’s Carpenter bench role. For what it’s worth, the team gave him the same No. 24 jersey that Carpenter wore.
WILMER DIFO
If the Yankees decide that one or both of the Oswald Peraza-Oswaldo Cabrera tandem needs to start the season in the minor leagues, Difo will make the team. They need a utility infielder on the bench — Cabrera is still the overwhelming favorite — and Difo has over 350 MLB innings at second base, third base and shortstop. The switch-hitting 30-year-old isn’t much of an offensive threat, but he’s a more than capable insurance option should Peraza, Cabrera or both get schooled in Grapefruit League games.
Of the 29 NRI’s, Difo has the most major league service time, and he’s already flashed a little bit at the team’s training complex, taking Domingo German deep twice in live batting practice on Sunday.
RAFAEL ORTEGA
The oldest of the non-roster invitee position players, Ortega is also the least removed from consistent MLB playing time. The 31-year-old played 103 games for the Cubs in 2021 and 118 more last year, posting a .265/.344/.408 line across the two seasons.
A fairly patient hitter with enough speed and base running instincts to steal 12 bases in both ‘21 and ‘22, Ortega can be a perfectly fine fourth outfielder. While every single future-oriented Yankee fan would rather see those reps go to Cabrera, the precocious youngster had literally never played outfield at any point of his professional career until last summer. Ortega is not a strong defensive outfielder, per se, but he could absolutely handle right field at Yankee Stadium as needed. He is an incredibly unsexy option, but that’s sort of the whole point of non-roster invitees.
If Ortega ends up making more than 100 plate appearances for the major league team, the Yankees are in trouble. But if they need someone to keep a seat warm in April until someone else is ready, a guy like Ortega (who’s appeared in six different MLB seasons) can do that.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Atlanta Hawks will have two preseason matchups at Abu Dhabi in October, marking the NBA’s first games in the United Arab Emirates and the Arabian Gulf.
The two exhibitions will take place Oct. 6 and Oct. 8 at Etihad Arena on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi. The NBA announced the games Tuesday in conjunction with the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi.
They’re the third and fourth international preseason games known to be on next season’s schedule.
The Golden State Warriors and Washington Wizards are heading to Saitama, Japan, for games on Sept. 30 and Oct. 2. Those will be the first games for the NBA outside of North America since Jan. 24, 2020, when Milwaukee and Charlotte met in Paris for a regular-season game about six weeks before the global pandemic started.
The last time the NBA traveled overseas for preseason contests was October 2019, when Sacramento and Indiana played twice in Mumbai, Houston and Toronto played twice in Saitama and the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn played a pair of games in China.
The teams going overseas for preseason games typically are allowed to open training camps a few days before the rest of the league. Most teams are expecting camps to begin Sept. 26, which – assuming the schedule stays as per usual – would put the league on target to hold opening night next season on Oct. 18.
The Bucks-Hawks exhibitions, billed as The NBA Abu Dhabi Games 2022, are part of a multi-year partnership between the NBA and the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi.
NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum went to Abu Dhabi in November to sign a multiyear deal between the league and tourism officials there.
The partnership includes the launching earlier this year of the first Jr. NBA Abu Dhabi League, a youth basketball league for 450 boys and girls 11-14 years old from schools across Abu Dhabi.
The partnership also includes a variety of interactive fan events featuring appearances by current and former NBA players, a series of NBA FIT clinics promoting health and wellness plus an NBA 2K League exhibition event at Middle East Film & Comic Con. | https://wausaupilotandreview.com/2022/05/10/bucks-hawks-to-play-two-preseason-games-in-abu-dhabi/ | 2022-05-10 20:34:50 | 0 | https://wausaupilotandreview.com/2022/05/10/bucks-hawks-to-play-two-preseason-games-in-abu-dhabi/ |

Priscilla Presley has filed legal documents disputing who oversees the estate of her late daughter Lisa Marie Presley.
The filing in Los Angeles Superior Court last week disputes the validity of a 2016 amendment to Lisa Marie Presley's living trust that removed Priscilla Presley and a former business manager as trustees and replaced them with Lisa Marie Presley's two oldest children, Riley Keough and Benjamin Keough, if she died or became incapacitated. Benjamin Keough died in 2020.
A living trust is a form of estate planning that allows a person to control their assets while alive, but have them distributed if they die. It serves the function of a will if a separate will is not filed, as appears to be the case with Lisa Marie Presley.
Lisa Marie Presley, a singer and the only child of Elvis Presley, died at a California hospital at age 54 on Jan. 12 after paramedics answered a 911 call reporting a woman in cardiac arrest. The Los Angeles County coroner is investigating, and has not yet given a cause of death. She was laid to rest at her family home, Graceland, on Jan. 22.

Priscilla Presley's court filing says there are several issues that bring the living trust amendment's authenticity into doubt.
The filing says they include a failure to notify Priscilla Presley of the change as required, a misspelling of Priscilla Presley's name in a document supposedly signed by her daughter, an atypical signature from Lisa Marie Presley, and a lack of a witness or notarization. It asks a judge to declare the amendment invalid.
The filing says that the business manager, Barry Siegel, intended to resign, which according to the prior terms of the trust would leave Priscilla Presley, 77, and Riley Keough, 33, as co-trustees.
Entertainment News
A message seeking comment from representatives of Riley Keough was not immediately returned.
Lisa Marie Presley left three surviving children. In addition to Riley Keough, her daughter with first husband Danny Keough, she had 14-year-old twin daughters with her fourth husband, Michael Lockwood.
Presley was declared divorced from Lockwood in 2021, but the two were still disputing finances in family court when she died.
Priscilla Presley's filing is among the first of what are likely to be many legal maneuvers surrounding the estate of Lisa Marie Presley, the only heir of Elvis Presley.
It is not clear, however, how much that estate is worth. A lawsuit Lisa Marie Presley filed in 2018 alleging Siegel had mismanaged the trust said it had been worth in excess of $100 million, but most of that had been depleted.

Gun violence spiked over Fourth of July weekend, as shootings reported in nearly every U.S. state killed at least 220 people and wounded close to 570 others, according to the Gun Violence Archive. The database, which collects information about fatalities and injuries linked to incidents involving discharged firearms, updated its records early Tuesday. Published tallies show the number of weekend shootings was almost identical to that of resulting injuries, with well over 500 instances of gun violence documented nationwide between Friday and Monday. There were only five states where one or more shootings did not occur in that time frame. Of all gun violence incidents accounted for during the holiday weekend, at least 11 were classified as mass shootings by the Gun Violence Archive. Any situation where four or more people, excluding the shooter, are killed or wounded by gunshots is considered a mass shooting. The database lists 315 mass shootings across the country since the beginning of this year, and roughly 22,500 deaths caused by any form of gun violence. The number of injuries so far traced to gun violence approaches the total death toll. Visit https://t.co/GKwiFAZQKg for up-to-date statistics and information pic.twitter.com/h81Kog0hD7 — The Gun Violence Archive (@GunDeaths) July 5, 2022 Seeing an increase in gun violence around Fourth of July is not rare in the U.S., and this past weekend’s reports from the Gun Violence Archive mirror those released in previous years. In 2021, more than 180 people were killed and 516 were injured in shootings that took place during the same holiday weekend. Devastating impacts of gun violence were widespread over the holiday, but certain areas were hit harder than others. In Highland Park, an Illinois suburb located about 25 miles north of Chicago, at least six people died and more than 30 others were wounded in a mass shooting targeting the neighborhood’s Fourth of July parade. Some of the victims, including at least one child, were in critical condition when they were transported from the scene, Highland Park Fire Chief Joe Schrage said Monday.

Brian Cassella/Chicago Tribune/Tribune News Service via Getty Images About nine hours after the gunman opened fire on attendees at the Highland Park parade, authorities detained a person of interest, who they identified as Robert Crimo III, in connection with the shooting. Crimo has not been charged in the attack. But the Highland Park shooting was far from the only crime involving gun violence in the Chicago area over the weekend. Eight deaths and 68 injuries from gun violence were confirmed in city in the days leading up to Fourth of July, as well as on the holiday itself, according to CBS Chicago. The victims’ ages reportedly ranged from 17 to 90 years old.

Starbucks workers at more than 100 U.S. stores say they're going on strike Thursday in what would be the largest labor action since a campaign to unionize the company’s stores began late last year.
The walkouts are scheduled to coincide with Starbucks’ annual Red Cup Day, when the company gives free reusable cups to customers who order a holiday drink. Workers say it’s often one of the busiest days of the year. Starbucks declined to say how many red cups it plans to distribute.
Workers say they're seeking better pay, more consistent schedules and higher staffing levels in busy stores. Starbucks opposes the unionization effort, saying the company functions best when it works directly with employees. The Seattle coffee giant has more than 9,000 company-owned stores in the U.S.
Stores in 25 states planned to take part in the labor action, according to Starbucks Workers United, the group organizing the effort. Some workers planned to picket all day while others planned shorter walkouts. The union said the goal is to shut the stores down during the walkouts.
Willow Montana, a shift manager at a Starbucks store in Brighton, Massachusetts, planned to strike because Starbucks hasn’t begun bargaining with the store despite a successful union vote in April.
“If the company won’t bargain in good faith, why should we come to work where we are understaffed, underpaid and overworked?” Montana said.
Others, including Michelle Eisen, a union organizer at one of the first stores to organize in Buffalo, New York, said workers are angry that Starbucks promised higher pay and benefits to non-union stores. Starbucks says it is following the law and can't give union stores pay hikes without bargaining.
At least 257 Starbucks stores have voted to unionize since late last year, according to the National Labor Relations Board. Fifty-seven stores have held votes where workers opted not to unionize.
Starbucks and the union have begun contract talks at 53 stores, with 13 additional sessions scheduled, Starbucks Workers United said. No agreements have been reached so far.
The process has been contentious. Earlier this week, a regional director with the NLRB filed a request for an injunction against Starbucks in federal court, saying the company violated labor law when it fired a union organizer in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The regional director asked the court to direct Starbucks to reinstate the employee and stop interfering in the unionization campaign nationwide.
It was the fourth time the NLRB has asked a federal court to intervene. In August, a federal judge ruled that Starbucks had to reinstate seven union organizers who were fired in Memphis, Tennessee. A similar case in Buffalo has yet to be decided, while a federal judge ruled against the NLRB in a case in Phoenix.
Meanwhile, Starbucks has asked the NLRB to temporarily suspend all union elections at its U.S. stores, citing allegations from a board employee that regional officials improperly coordinated with union organizers. A decision in that case is pending. | https://www.clickorlando.com/business/2022/11/17/starbucks-workers-plan-strikes-at-more-than-100-us-stores/ | 2022-11-17 11:06:19 | 0 | https://www.clickorlando.com/business/2022/11/17/starbucks-workers-plan-strikes-at-more-than-100-us-stores/ |
Lupita Nyong'o proved two looks are always better than one.
The Oscar winner made a jaw-dropping appearance at the Mexico premiere of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever on Nov. 9, dazzling the red carpet in two custom Jonathan Cohen designs.
And while no ensemble was the same, they were both riddled with meaning.
The actress' first look entailed a fiery red gown that enveloped the red carpet with its billowing train, dramatic puffed sleeves and cape-like structure. According to a press release from the fashion label, the larger-than-life piece—fittingly called the "Birth of a Rose"—was "an homage to Lupita and Jonathan's shared Mexican heritage and upbringing."
Lupita then unveiled the edgy black leather dress that had been hiding underneath.
The fierce creation featured a thigh-high slit and harness corset with brass buckles shaped like roses and thorns, which the brand revealed was inspired by Mexican icon Frida Kahlo. Continuing with the floral theme, dozens of petals also adorned the neckline.
The Marvel star added extra oomph to both of her looks with statement-making jewelry from De Beers, strappy heels and a bold black lip.
During a panel discussion at the screening, Lupita captivated audiences with her dance moves. While onstage, she and her Black Panther co-star Tenoch Huerta busted their moves and danced along to Elvis Crespo's "Suavemente."
"No van a creer lo qué pasó (You're not going to believe what happened)," Lupita shared on Instagram on Nov. 9, alongside a video of their memorable moment.
Back in July, Lupita exclusively told E! News how the Black Panther sequel would honor the late Chadwick Boseman, who passed away in August 2020 due to colon cancer.
"I can confidently say this movie is made with his memory in the foundation of it and with his spirit," she said at San Diego Comic-Con, adding that "it was therapeutic to come back."
Danai Gurira also touched on honoring Chadwick, who played the titular superhero in the Marvel films, at the Los Angeles premiere of Black Panther on Oct. 26.
"One of the things that was very, very nourishing to me as we shot this film was keeping his image and his memory so close at all times," she told E! News on the red carpet, "and knowing how he functioned in a space, how he was a creator and was all about the generosity towards others, and also just relentless pursuit of excellence and just really loving on each other.
She explained how Chadwick's legacy has struck a chord with her, adding, it's "something that always guides me even outside of shooting this film."

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) — Tyler Reddick needed a little longer than expected to win in the NASCAR Cup Series.
The circumstances of his triumph made it worth the wait.
Reddick won Sunday at Road America by outdueling Chase Elliott, the defending champion on the course and the current points leader. The victory came in the 92nd start of his Cup career, which has included five second-place finishes.
“It was just a huge sense of relief,” Reddick said.
The Richard Childress Racing driver won by 3.304 seconds over Elliott, who had the pole position and led for 36 of the 62 laps. Elliott was seeking his eighth career Cup road-course win to tie Tony Stewart for second place — one behind Jeff Gordon’s record.
“He’s been the guy that’s won more road courses the last couple of years than anybody,” Reddick said.
Kyle Larson was third, followed by Ross Chastain and Daniel Suárez.
Elliott and Reddick were both well ahead of the field before making pit stops with about 20 laps remaining. Elliott had a narrow lead over Reddick as they came out of the pits, but Reddick eventually pulled ahead of him as they headed back toward the front of the pack.
Reddick took over the lead for good on the 47th lap once all the cars that had been ahead of him made their pit stops.
“I just let him stay close enough to pressure me there while we had decent tires and never could get enough of a gap,” Elliott said. “Made a couple mistakes. I was gaining a gap there a couple times and made a couple mistakes and let him get back close enough to get me out of sync, and then after that just started struggling.”
Elliott had the pole position and led for much of the day as he attempted to follow his victory last week at Nashville with another. He was chasing his third win of the season.
Nobody has won more than two races through the first 18 events, the first time there hasn’t been at least a three-time winner this late in the season.
Instead, Reddick became the fifth first-time winner this year.
Each of the first three road-course races this year has had a first-time winner, with Reddick breaking through at Road America after Chastain won at the Circuit of the Americas and Suárez at Sonoma.
The other first-time winners were Austin Cindric at Daytona and Chase Briscoe at Phoenix.
Reddick, who won the Xfinity Series in 2018 and 2019, seemed on the verge of getting his elusive first victory a number of times before Sunday.
Perhaps the most notable example came at Bristol in April. Reddick and Chase Briscoe were dueling for the lead that night when the two cars spun out of control, enabling Kyle Busch to slip past them for the victory. Reddick also led for 90 laps at Fontana earlier this year but ended up 24th after William Byron ran him into wall.
“This year’s been one mistake away from greatness all year long,” Reddick said. “We finally did it today.”
Team owner Richard Childress sensed the breakthrough was coming and made that clear during a Sunday morning pep talk with the driver.
“I told him this morning, ‘You’re going to win this race. We just can’t beat ourselves and (have to) be solid,’ ” Childress said.
Reddick made sure his boss’ prediction came true.
UP NEXT
The Cup Series heads to the Atlanta Motor Speedway next Sunday. Kurt Busch won last year.

LONDON (AP) — Five climate change protesters were fined Wednesday for gluing themselves to the frame of a copy of Leonardo da Vinci's “The Last Supper” in the Royal Academy of Arts.
The five activists from the group Just Stop Oil glued their hands to the painting's border and one sprayed graffiti on the wall at the London museum in July, as part of a series of disruptive protests aimed at raising awareness about climate change.
On Wednesday, following a two-day trial, District Judge William Nelson ordered all five to pay 486 pounds ($587) each for criminal damage. He said the protesters were “reckless” because they knew they would damage the painting's frame — but also said that the “primary cause” of the protest “was to gain media attention and not to cause damage to a work of art."
The 16th-century painting, which was unharmed, is attributed to one or more of Da Vinci's pupils and is believed to be the most accurate record of the original.
Just Stop Oil said it wanted to put pressure on Britain's government to halt new oil and gas licenses. In October, activists made international headlines when they threw tomato soup over Vincent van Gogh's “Sunflowers” at London's National Gallery. They caused no harm to the glass-covered painting.
Other protesters from the group stormed the track at last year's British Grand Prix Formula 1 race. Six activists were charged with causing a public nuisance for the protest, and on Wednesday a jury retired to consider its verdict after a two-week trial over the case. | https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/climate-change-protesters-fined-over-last-17772397.php | 2023-02-08 22:38:58 | 0 | https://www.sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/climate-change-protesters-fined-over-last-17772397.php |
Center Point scored all its points in the first half and cruised to a 36-20 victory over Shades Valley in Class 6A, Region 6 play, clinching a playoff berth.
The Eagles (6-1, 3-1) were led by senior running back Troy Bruce, who rushed for 225 yards on 13 carries and accounted for all 5 Center Point touchdowns.
Bruce ran for 4 touchdowns (69, 3, 16 and 94 yards) and caught a 13-yard scoring pass.
“It was a great game for me thanks to my teammates, offensive line and coaches,” Bruce said. “We had a great week of practice and we were able to come out and play fast and physical.”
“It was a huge win for us,” Center Point coach George Bates said. “We’ve been told since December we couldn’t compete in 6A. To come out and clinch a playoff berth on our first year in 6A is huge for our community. It is a testament to the hard work of our players and coaches.”
Bruce started the scoring with a 69-yard touchdown run and quarterback Jabari Collier found Bruce for the touchdown pass for a 15-0 lead.
Collier completed a 57-yard pass on third down to Center Point’s next drive alive and Bruce scored on a 2-yard run, giving the Eagles a 22-0 lead with 2:27 remaining in the first quarter.
Bruce and the Eagles made it 29-0 on a 15-yard run, aided by 39-yard completion on third down, and Bruce ripped off a 94-yard TD run with 45 seconds left in the half for a 36-0 lead.
Shades Valley moved the ball, but couldn’t’ find the end zone in the first half.
Shades Valley quarterback Steve Brown connected with Korda’e Harper for a 70-yard gain to the Eagles 8-yard line, but threw an interception on the goal line with 39 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
The Mounties also moved the ball to the Center Point 6-yard line, but turned the ball over with 1:01 remaining in the half, and made it to the Center Point 10-yard line without scoring after Bruce’s 94-yard run.
Shades Valley scored with 8:05 left in the game on a 9-yard strike from freshman quarterback Zayden Bolden to Harper and added a 30-yard scoring pass from Bolden to Christian Thomas.
The final score came with 29 seconds remaining, Bolden finding sophomore receiver, J’Quez Daniel with an 8-yard pass in the back of the end zone. | https://www.al.com/sports/2022/10/center-point-cruises-to-victory-over-shades-valley.html | 2022-10-01 05:00:29 | 1 | https://www.al.com/sports/2022/10/center-point-cruises-to-victory-over-shades-valley.html |
(NEXSTAR) – Nine newly-designated trails in seven states will add nearly 600 miles to the National Trails System, which already includes more than 1,300 trails throughout the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland announced the designations in celebration of Great Outdoors Month and National Trails Day on June 4.
National recreation trails are jointly overseen by the National Park Service and the U.S. Forest Service, often alongside federal and nonprofit partners. Unlike national parks, trails can be designated by either the Secretary of the Interior or the Secretary of Agriculture on existing local or regional trails. National recreation trails are managed locally but “recognized for their contribution to the Nation’s system of public trail access and outdoor enjoyment,” according to NPS.
Among the new trails is Florida’s Seven Mile Loop Trail in the Crystal River Preserve State Park about 85 miles north of Tampa. Primarily on limestone, the trail takes hikers, runners, and bikers over three tidal creeks, which ebb and flow with the ocean tides.
To the north is another new recreation trail, the South Carolina Revolutionary Rivers Trail. Found in the state’s Florence County, the 60-mile trail follows the Lynches Scenic River to “the cypress and tupelo laden stomping grounds of Revolutionary War hero General Francis Marion.” Visitors can paddle into the swampland like Marion and his fellow soldiers could hide from the British.
Further up the East Coast is Virginia’s Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge Trail System. Comprised of seven interconnected trails covering just under three miles, the system is home to seven habitats to explore. Originally established in 1938, the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge is located on the southeast corner of Virginia Beach.
Two trails in New York received national recognition – the Inwood Hill Park Orange Trail and the New York State Canalway Water Trail. The first traverses 1.43 miles through Manhattan’s only forest while the latter covers 450 miles of upstate New York waterway flows.
Ohio also has two trails receiving national recognition: the Conotton Creek Bike Trail and the Little Miami State Park. About 73 miles south of Akron, the Conotton Creek Bike Trail stretches over 11 miles along a former rail line. The Little Miami State Park spans 50 miles of a former rail line along the Little Miami River in southwestern Ohio.
To the west is Missouri’s Fulbright Spring Greenway Trail, a nearly seven-mile-long loop commonly referred to as “the emerald necklace.” Found near Springfield, it connects four parks, a school, subdivisions, and other trail systems. Texas’ Bob Woodruff Park and Oak Point Park and Nature Preserve Trails round out the newest trail installations. The almost 10-mile-long trail connects two parks, encompassing 1,100 acres.
Haaland’s announcement of nine new trails is part of the Biden-Harris administration’s “America the Beautiful” initiative, which aims to “conserve, connect, and restore” one-third of the U.S.’s lands and waters by 2030 “for the sake of our economy, our health, and our well-being.”
Agencies, state entities, and local communities can nominate a trail for national recognition. To receive status, trails must meet set criteria. That includes the trail being open to public use for at least 10 consecutive years, complying with applicable land use plans and laws, and supported in a letter from its respective State Trail Administrator. | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/national-news/nearly-600-miles-have-been-added-to-the-national-trails-system-heres-where/ | 2022-06-12 13:29:50 | 0 | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/national-news/nearly-600-miles-have-been-added-to-the-national-trails-system-heres-where/ |

What happened when the woke came to bully the wealthiest man in the world
Left uses ESG to target any who oppose it, even billionaire Elon Musk
Editor’s note: This essay is adapted from the new book "You Will Own Nothing," by Carol Roth, coming out July 18.
Social credit systems, whether formal or informal, are used to keep individuals in line with the elites’ narratives-of-the-day. Step out of line, and you may find that your social standing, job or assets are targeted as a means to attack your freedoms, including your wealth-building opportunities.
If you are a businessperson and you step out of line, or even don’t conform to the desires of the elites, you are attacked using an emerging business social credit system: ESG. This bastardization of capital allocation is so powerful that it can even come for those with substantial wealth and power, like the richest man in the universe — Elon Musk.
ESG, which stands for environmental, social, and corporate governance, and is also referred to in concept with terms like "stakeholder capitalism" and "sustainable investing," encompasses various nonfinancial criteria for companies and their investors. ESG is based on some elites’ own decisions around morality and "what is good for society." (That always ends well, doesn’t it?)
It is somewhat difficult to explain what ESG is because it shifts and changes around a moral code dictated by a relatively small number of people without specificity. This shifting is deliberate, so ESG can serve the elites’ whims as their ideas and priorities shift.
Like many bad and dangerous ideas, ESG sounds like it makes sense on the surface. Most people would concur that we want to be good environmental stewards. On the social and governance side, it makes sense to treat employees well and incorporate diversity in many forms. Where ESG goes sideways is in its actions.
Basic free-market economic tenets largely solve many social, governance, and even environmental issues. People don’t want to do business with companies that don’t treat employees well. As a business, your employees are stewards of your brand; unhappy employees become unhappy brand stewards who often engender negative customer responses. Self-regulating and reaching equilibrium is all built into the model.
The same goes for diversity. Those who seek out diverse perspectives and experiences and incorporate them in an authentic manner often see better business results.
So, ESG concepts make general sense. However, once they have been co-opted by the elites for their own agenda, they become bastardized and guided to central planning outcomes. As we have learned throughout history, and paid the price for in recent years, this is never to anyone’s benefit other than the central planners and their cronies.
Imagine a bunch of entitled elites and bad actors sitting around a conference table and asking, "How can we give businesses a social credit score so that they do what we want them to do instead of what’s in the best interests of their shareholders, customers, and business model?" That’s ESG at its core.
What started with perhaps good intentions has now become a hybrid scam and capital diverter.
Enter Musk. Surely the richest man in the universe and one who is well-connected like Musk could escape the ESG fate? Not so much.
In mid-May 2022, after the billionaire serial entrepreneur announced his takeover bid for Twitter to fix its widely perceived censorship issues, Musk found that another one of his businesses had been impacted. Tesla, the world’s leading electric vehicle manufacturer, was removed from the S&P ESG 500 index.
Maggie Dorn, head of ESG Indices North America at S&P Dow Jones Indices, who decides which companies are put in and removed from the index, wrote in a post about Tesla’s removal, "A few of the factors contributing to its 2021 S&P DJI ESG Score were a decline in criteria level scores related to Tesla’s (lack of) low carbon strategy and codes of business conduct."
The "codes of business conduct" part sounds an awful lot like they disapproved of Elon’s recent stances and affirm the notion that ESG is a corporate social credit score.
Musk responded in a tweet, "Exxon is rated top ten best in world for environment, social & governance (ESG) by S&P 500, while Tesla didn’t make the list! ESG is a scam. It has been weaponized by phony social justice warriors." He also said that the ratings firm had lost its integrity and warned that political attacks on him would escalate in the coming months.
Leveraging ESG in this way was not just a direct attack on Musk, but also Tesla’s shareholders, who would lose the benefits attached to being part of the index.
If Musk could be targeted by negative business social credit for daring to champion free speech, what chance do other companies and their management have?
The entire fossil fuel industry found itself short on capital when ESG directives moved capital away from the industry, a maneuver that has led to not only more expensive prices for direct and derivative products alike over the past several years, but also has created massive underfunding in the sector for the future.
So, when you see CEOs and other company executives making decisions that may seem to be counter to the interest of the company, its customers, and even its shareholders, know that it may be an ESG-led bullying or hostage situation.
An executive may decide to sacrifice what is best in the short term for actual shareholders and those personally and otherwise invested in the company so that the powerful ESG-purveyors don’t target them in the long run.
So, ESG concepts make general sense. However, once they have been co-opted by the elites for their own agenda, they become bastardized and guided to central planning outcomes. As we have learned throughout history, and paid the price for in recent years, this is never to anyone’s benefit other than the central planners and their cronies.
ESG, which has been entrenched throughout the business ecosystem by players including the United Nations, the World Economic Forum, leading wealth management firm BlackRock and others, is a powerful tool being wielded by equally powerful individuals, businesses and institutions.
Moreover, there is a ton of money to be made in it. Dan Katz, a former senior advisor at the Treasury Department, wrote in Barron’s that ESG had attracted more than $40 trillion in assets. With all of the money to be made and power to be leveraged, it’s a significant, sticky problem.
Under President Joe Biden, the Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration put in place a rule effectively saying benefit plan managers no longer have to invest in your best financial interest; now they can favor ESG and economically targeted investments (ETIs). This codifies business social credit at your expense.
It throws the long-held fiduciary duty standard that employee benefit plans must follow in terms of picking investments that maximize shareholder value to the wind and allows nonfinancial criteria, such as, you guessed it, ESG, whatever the powers that be deem it to be that day, to take precedence.
You lose twice, as your wealth is being used to strong-arm businesses and their management, who then can’t run their business in a way that maximizes value for you as a shareholder.

BlackRock, the largest asset manager in the world, has been very vocal about these tactics. In a 2020 letter to CEOs, BlackRock said, "…we will be increasingly disposed to vote against management and board directors when companies are not making sufficient progress on sustainability-related disclosures and the business practices and plans underlying them." The message is clear — you will not succeed if you are not aligned with the elite. That is not capitalism; that is a corporate version of fascism.
As more people have started call out ESG, now its shepherds are trying to backtrack — but in name only. BlackRock’s Larry Fink at the Aspen Ideas Festival said he was going to not use ESG as a term any longer because it has been politicized. (Yeah, thanks to him and his cronies.)

It was reported that he said, "I'm not going to use the word ESG because it's been misused by the far left and the far right." Actually, it is ESG that is a misuse in and of itself and nobody cares about the phrase; the issue is the actions being taken under that banner.
Elon Musk has called ESG "the devil" and that seems fairly accurate. A small group of people are holding the economy hostage. We need an exorcism to get rid of this devil in our lives and our businesses — our individual wealth creation opportunities, our freedom and the global economy hangs in the balance.

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- American Legion National Commander Vincent J. "Jim" Troiola today praised the 2023 planned increases in military housing allowances for U.S. troops.
"The Department of Defense just announced that Basic Allowance for Housing rates will increase an average of 12.1 percent next year depending on location," Troiola said. "Just this month I've had the honor of visiting military personnel in Hawaii and overseas. A common concern expressed by troops living off-base is the cost of rent and real estate. The American Legion has long believed that providing a high quality of life for our military personnel is a moral imperative. During a period of high inflation, it is important that the men and women defending this nation have access to safe and affordable housing. Whether a servicemember lives on base or off-base, I want all military families to know that they have no stronger advocate than The American Legion."
The American Legion, the nation's largest veterans organization, is dedicated to the motto of "Veterans Strengthening America." Chartered by Congress in 1919, The American Legion is committed to mentoring youth and sponsoring wholesome community programs, advocating patriotism and honor, promoting a strong national security and continued devotion to servicemembers and veterans. The organization is calling on all Americans to "Be the One" to stop veteran suicide and encourages people to visit www.betheone.org.

COLUMBUS, Miss. (AP) — Just hours after graduating high school, a Mississippi teenager was arrested in what has been described as a domestic dispute that left one person dead.
Lowndes County Sheriff Eddie Hawkins said Justin Robert Coggins, 18, of Caledonia, was arrested Saturday after he allegedly shot and killed Dustin Hoffpauir, 33, at a home in Caledonia, news outlets reported.
Hawkins said Coggins had just graduated from Caledonia High School hours before the shooting. He's now being held at the Lowndes County Adult Detention Center. It was unknown if he has an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Authorities have not released details of what led to the shooting or the nature of Hoffpauir's relationship to Coggins.
Hoffpauir's body will be sent to the state medical examiners office for an autopsy.

WASHINGTON, July 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP), the nation's leading suicide prevention organization commends the Biden-Harris administration and the U.S. Department of Labor for proposing new rules to strengthen mental health parity enforcement. Health plans are required by law to cover mental health and substance use at parity with coverage for physical health to ensure that services are available to all who need them. However, many health plans remain in violation of the law – a problem the proposed rules seek to address.
"Mental health parity laws have been shown to reduce suicide rates by as much as five percent," said AFSP CEO Robert Gebbia. "These proposed rules will help advance the nationwide effort to prevent suicide, and we urge their swift dissemination and adoption."
By strengthening enforcement powers, these proposed rules will help realize the vision of the Paul Wellstone and Pete Domenici Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008. The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention shares the bold vision laid out by this law, to advance health equity, prevent suicide, and expand healthcare accessibility.
The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention is dedicated to saving lives and bringing hope to those affected by suicide, including those who have experienced a loss. AFSP creates a culture that's smart about mental health through public education and community programs, develops suicide prevention through research and advocacy, and provides support for those affected by suicide. Led by CEO Robert Gebbia and headquartered in New York, with a public policy office in Washington, DC, AFSP has local chapters in all 50 states including Puerto Rico, with programs and events nationwide. Learn more about AFSP in its latest Annual Report, and join the conversation on suicide prevention by following AFSP on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube.

Teacher charged for pulling chair out from under autistic student, police say
COLBERT CO., Ala. (WAFF/Gray News) - An Alabama high school teacher was arrested for abusing a 19-year-old autistic student at school, according to authorities.
Police said 53-year-old Denise Woods, a teacher at Colbert County High School, was arrested and charged with pulling a chair out from under a student.
WAFF reports the student was sitting at a table in the school lunchroom on March 7 when she heard someone mention ice cream. The student then began to yell for ice cream but was told ice cream was not being served.
The student then reportedly began hitting her arms against the table. According to documents obtained by WAFF, Woods approached the student to try to calm her down and pulled the student’s chair out from under her, causing her to fall.
When she got up, Woods reportedly escorted her out of the lunchroom while pushing her.
A parent of the student said she had bruises on her arms, legs, thighs, hips, back, wrist and elbow from the experience.
Officials said Woods was charged with the intentional abuse or neglect of a protected person. She was taken to jail before being released on a $10,000 bond.

Father of 7 dies by electrocution in roofing job site accident
LEBANON, Tenn. (WSMV/Gray News) – A Tennessee father of seven died by electrocution while working on a roof Monday.
His grieving family is trying to come to terms with what happened.
Enoc Hernandez leaves behind his wife, Ingrid Delcid, and seven children. Their daughter Jennifer Amaya said her mom’s heartbreak is so bad that she couldn’t breathe, and the kids had to take her to the hospital.
“It’s hard, you know,” Amaya said through tears. “We still can’t process it.”
Amaya said on Monday, her mom was on her way to bring her husband his lunch at a job site, something she did frequently.
“She was always there to bring him his own lunch and all the workers too. Like, all the workers adored her and everything like that,” Amaya said.
Before Delcid arrived at the job site, she got a devastating phone call. She was told a ladder fell on a powerline. Enoc was electrocuted and died. Two other men were critically injured.
Now, Delcid is a widow and a single mother. Her kids range in age from 7 months old to 23 years old. The family is now unsure how to move on without him.
“He was always bringing our daily bread,” Amaya said. “He was our provider to us.”
The family has been in touch with the other two men who were hurt. They said they may have to have their legs amputated.
Enoc Hernandez’s funeral is scheduled for Thursday. To help the family with expenses, friends and coworkers have set up two GoFundMe pages. You can donate here and here.

NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump, his namesake son and his daughter Ivanka have agreed to answer questions under oath next month in the New York attorney general’s civil investigation into his business practices, unless their lawyers persuade the state’s highest court to step in.
A Manhattan judge signed off Wednesday on an agreement that calls for the Trumps to give depositions — a legal term for sworn, pretrial testimony out of court — starting July 15.
The agreement comes after a series of setbacks for Donald Trump’s efforts to put a stop to state Attorney General Letitia James’ three-year investigation. James has said the probe has uncovered evidence that Trump’s company misstated the value of assets such as skyscrapers and golf courses on financial statements for more than a decade.
Two weeks ago, a New York state appeals court ruled that Trump had to sit for a deposition in the matter. The next day, a federal judge dismissed a lawsuit that Trump had filed to seek a court order stopping James from investigating him. The suit claimed that James, a Democrat, targeted the Republican ex-president because of political animus and violated his free speech and due process rights.
Wednesday’s ruling acknowledges that Trump can appeal to New York’s top court, called the Court of Appeals, to try to overturn the decision that requires his deposition.

(WGHP) — A strong geomagnetic storm caused by the sun could impact Earth later this week, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
The NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center said Tuesday that it is monitoring the sun and solar winds following a series of coronal mass ejections that began Sunday.
Space weather forecasters have predicted a strong geomagnetic storm for late Thursday and a moderate geomagnetic storm on Friday, prompting geomagnetic storm watches.
Forecasters are monitoring a “small, but compact and magnetically complex grouping” designated as Region 3078. The region produced frequent flares early Tuesday morning, according to NOAA. Flares are still possible from Region 3078, but recent imagery indicated possible signs of weakening and potential decay.
Forecasters continue to monitor NOAA’s DSCOVR satellite and its real-time solar winds for signs of the arrival and strength of the coronal mass ejections.
NOAA reports that despite the number of coronal mass ejections, “most are expected to have little to no impact at Earth” as they are expected to “pass ahead or south of Earth’s orbit.”
Earlier this month, NOAA noted a coronal hole in the sun’s atmosphere could trigger a geomagnetic storm.
Geomagnetic storms can impact infrastructure in near-Earth orbit and on the surface, potentially disrupting communications, the electric power grid, navigation, radio and satellites.
Coronal holes are “cooler, less dense regions than the surrounding plasma and are regions of open, unipolar magnetic fields,” NOAA explains. “This open, magnetic field line structure allows the solar wind to escape more readily into space, resulting in streams of relatively fast solar wind.”
While some headlines make the occurrence sound like a doomsday-inducing hole in the sun, Rob Steenburgh of NOAA’s Space Weather Forecast office told Nexstar, “They happen all the time and are no cause for alarm.”
Minor geomagnetic storms may cause weak fluctuations in the power grid, impact satellite operations on spacecraft, and make aurora displays in the sky visible at high latitudes, such as in parts of Michigan and Maine.
Auroras for this week’s storm may be visible if the weather conditions are favorable as far south as Pennsylvania, Iowa, and portions of Oregon. Check NOAA’s latest aurora forecast here.
The Space Weather Prediction Center will issue additional warnings related to this week’s storm if necessary, NOAA said Tuesday.
While the solar cycle is not yet at its peak, NASA said activity has already surpassed predictions. Solar flares and eruptions will likely increase from now until 2025 as we reach “solar maximum,” writes Nicola Fox, the director of NASA’s heliophysics division.
Yet experts say there’s no need to fear a doomsday scenario.
“Some people worry that a gigantic ‘killer solar flare’ could hurl enough energy to destroy Earth, but this is not actually possible,” NASA explains.
Plus, solar cycles repeat every 11 years. That means anyone over the age of 11 has already lived through a solar maximum (and probably didn’t notice its occurrence). | https://who13.com/news/national-news/geomagnetic-storm-watches-in-effect-due-to-coronal-hole-how-it-could-impact-earth-this-week/ | 2022-08-17 15:31:02 | 1 | https://who13.com/news/national-news/geomagnetic-storm-watches-in-effect-due-to-coronal-hole-how-it-could-impact-earth-this-week/ |
Ford recalls over 2.9M vehicles at risk of rollaway crashes
DETROIT (AP) — Ford is recalling over 2.9 million vehicles in the U.S. to fix a transmission problem that can increase the risk of inadvertent rollaway crashes.
The recall covers certain 2013 to 2019 Escape, 2013 to 2018 C-Max, 2013 to 2016 Fusion, 2013 to 2021 Transit Connect, and 2015 to 2018 Edge vehicles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says in documents posted Wednesday that a bushing that attaches the shifter cable to the transmission can degrade or detach.
That can stop the vehicles from shifting into the intended gear.
A vehicle shifted into Park gear might be in a different gear, allowing it to roll away.
Dealers will replace the bushing and add a protective cap. Owners will be notified by letter starting June 27.

Company makes three-year pledge to accelerate the economic integration of Ukrainian refugee women and other refugees
NEW YORK, June 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Teleperformance, a global leader in digital business services, today announced its commitment to hire 500 refugees, including Ukrainian refugee women, over the next three years across its Europe operations including in France, Germany, Portugal and the U.K.
The announcement is also part of the Company's ongoing commitment to hire and integrate refugees across the globe. At the end of last year, Teleperformance employed more than 2,300 refugees worldwide, including more than 1,900 Venezuelan refugees at its Colombia operations. The Company's longstanding and impactful approach to the economic integration of Venezuelan refugees in Colombia earned it TENT's Outstanding Leadership in Hiring Refugees award in 2021. It also employs a few hundred refugees across Europe, including displaced people from the Ukraine, Syria, Iran, Pakistan and Congo.
"There are so many thousands of refugees from Ukraine and other countries who wish to work and take care of themselves and their families but who face countless hurdles to employment," said Clémentine Gauthier-Medina, Senior Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility, Teleperformance Group. "We're pleased to expand on our longstanding commitment to refugees to help improve their lives and communities through meaningful employment."
Teleperformance's pledge joins those being made recently by dozens of businesses to accelerate economic integration of Ukrainian refugee women and other refuges across Europe in partnership with the Tent Partnership for Refugees (Tent), a global network of companies committed to supporting the economic integration of refugees.
"Ukrainian refugee women face many hurdles when finding jobs - from not knowing the local language to having to juggle childcare responsibilities. Businesses must do more to reduce these barriers, and help these incredible, strong, talented people enter the workforce," said Hamdi Ulukaya, founder and President of the Tent Partnership for Refugees and CEO and founder of Chobani.

Don’t fret, L.A.: Taylor Swift ticket sales just delayed due to ‘unprecedented demand’

LONDON (AP) — Prince Harry entered a London courtroom in a high-stakes bid to prove the publisher of the Daily Mirror tabloid had unlawfully snooped on his life.
He left the witness box Wednesday looking fatigued and with the outcome uncertain.
The Duke of Sussex said he was highly suspicious of how reporters obtained information about him for stories from 1996 to 2011 that had caused him anguish, but he had little to support his accusations. He said journalists used burner phones and destroyed records, relying on such evidence proven in other cases.
“I believe that phone hacking was at an industrial scale across at least three of the papers at the time,” he asserted in his second day of testimony in the High Court. “That is beyond any doubt.”
At the end of nearly eight hours of cross-examination over two days, defense lawyer Andrew Green asked if Harry was aware of any evidence that indicated he had his phone hacked over a period of 15 years.
“No,” Harry said. “That’s part of the reason why I’m here.”
Harry is on a mission to reform the British media, and the phone hacking allegations are central to his legal battles against publishers.
The case against Mirror Group Newspapers, which has paid more than 100 million pounds ($125 million) to settle hundreds of unlawful information-gathering claims is the first of his three hacking lawsuits to go to trial. He says tabloid publishers invaded his privacy by eavesdropping on voicemails and hiring private investigators to report on the smallest details of his life, causing him great emotional turmoil.
Harry’s hostility at the U.K. media runs through his memoir, “Spare.” He blames paparazzi for causing the car crash that killed his mother, Princess Diana, and he said intrusions by journalists led him and his wife, Meghan, to flee to the U.S. in 2020 and leave royal life behind.
His lawyer said he wasn’t on a vendetta against the media, but is seeking accountability, though Harry’s 55-page witness statement suggested otherwise.
“How much more blood will stain their typing fingers before someone can put a stop to this madness?” he wrote.
His composure in court betrayed none of that acrimony.
He spoke softly and didn’t lose his patience as witnesses often do under cross-examination — even as he was repeatedly asked to explain how an article had caused him pain if he wasn’t certain he had read it at the time it was published.
“Most of the articles I don’t remember seeing,” he said. “Most of them were equally distressing then and more distressing today going through this process.”
The spectacle of the first senior member of the royal family to testify in court in more than 130 years drew dozens of reporters, photographers and curious onlookers lucky to get a seat.
Wearing a dark suit and white shirt both days, he smiled at times, joked and laughed at others.
He got laughs Tuesday from the roughly two dozen reporters when he dismissed a longtime royal family correspondent as someone he wouldn’t call a “specialist.”
As he juggled various large binders that contained the articles about him, he quipped, “I feel like I’m doing a workout.”
Someone in the gallery sneezed in the middle of testimony and he offered a “bless you,” without breaking stride.
Green, who has a reputation for his brutal cross-examinations, took a respectful but direct approach as he tried to dismantle Harry’s allegations.
Green asked Harry if he really thought that journalists would be foolish enough to risk getting caught phone hacking after a News of the World reporter and a private investigator went to prison for such activity in 2007.
“I believe the risk is worth the reward for them,” Harry answered.
Green, who has said Harry’s phone wasn’t hacked, asked the witness if he would be relieved or upset if the judge reached the same conclusion.
“To have a decision against me … given that Mirror Group have admitted hacking, yes, it would feel like an injustice,” Harry responded.
“So you want to have been phone hacked?” Green said.
“Nobody wants to be phone hacked,” Harry replied.
Justice Timothy Fancourt, who will deliver the verdict later in the year, asked how long Harry had noticed unusual activity on his phone that he only later attributed to hacking.
“From the moment I had a mobile phone. … It never stopped,” Harry said. “I remember a lot of missed calls that lasted one second, I remember a lot of people asking me, ‘Did you get my voicemail?’”
Harry’s skepticism of the press included suggestions that anonymous sources were fabricated and extended to people quoted by name.
More than once, he said that seeing something in print attributed to someone “doesn’t mean that it’s true” and said false information was added to stories “to put people like myself off the scent.”
When Harry couldn’t point to how information was unlawfully obtained about him, he told Green to ask the reporter of the story.
His own lawyer, David Sherborne, got that chance later as he grilled former Daily Mirror royal correspondent Jane Kerr, whose byline appears on several of the 33 stories cited in Harry’s lawsuit.
The lawyer expressed incredulity when she said she had never suspected that private investigators paid by the paper to find unlisted phone numbers and other details of individuals could have broken the law.
“I don’t recall ever instructing anyone to do anything unlawful or knowing they were doing anything unlawful,” Kerr said.
In a witness statement, Kerr said Mirror Group had acknowledged instructing one investigator, Jonathan Stafford, to unlawfully obtain private information, and that her name appeared in records relating to him.
“I had no reason to believe that the practices Stafford engaged in were unlawful nor did I instruct him to undertake such practices,” she said.
At the end of Harry’s testimony, his own lawyer had a chance to ask questions and concluded by inquiring how he was doing after a day-and-a-half in the witness box.
“You have had to go through these articles and answer questions knowing this is a very public courtroom and the world’s media are watching. How has that made you feel?” Sherborne said.
Harry appeared to choke up. He took a deep breath and puffed his cheeks as he exhaled.
“It’s a lot,” he said and offered a weary smile. | https://www.fox16.com/entertainment-news/prince-harry-to-tabloid-newspapers-lawyer-nobody-wants-to-be-phone-hacked/ | 2023-06-08 12:36:14 | 0 | https://www.fox16.com/entertainment-news/prince-harry-to-tabloid-newspapers-lawyer-nobody-wants-to-be-phone-hacked/ |

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Comedian Dave Chappelle was tackled during a performance at the Hollywood Bowl Tuesday night and a man was later arrested.
Security guards chased and overpowered the attacker, and Chappelle was able to continue his performance while the man was taken away in an ambulance.
The assailant was carrying a replica handgun with a large blade that folded out of it similar to a pocket knife, according to a photo released by police.
Isaiah Lee, 23, was detained and arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, said Officer Alba Mendez, a Los Angeles Police Department spokesperson.
Lee was treated by medical staff for an unspecified injury and was booked into jail early Wednesday and held in lieu of $30,000 bail, Mendez said. It was not immediately known if he had retained a lawyer.
Mendez said a “famous comedian was performing” when Lee jumped onto the stage, tackled the celebrity and produced the replica handgun containing a knife blade. Mendez said the department did not name the celebrity because it does not confirm victim names.
Chappelle was performing his stand-up routine on the last of four nights at the amphitheater as part of the “Netflix Is a Joke” festival when the man rushed on stage and tackled him. Jamie Foxx was in the wings of the stage and Chappelle thanked him for responding to the attack. Chris Rock was there as well. He grabbed the mic and jokingly asked, “Was that Will Smith?”
“The performances by Chappelle at the Hollywood Bowl were epic and record-breaking and he refuses to allow last night’s incident to overshadow the magic of this historic moment,” Chapelle’s publicist Carla Sims said in a statement. “As unfortunate and unsettling as the incident was, Chappelle went on with the show.”
Chappelle was attacked as he was wrapping up a routine in which he talked about how comedians have to worry more about their personal security in the wake of this year’s Academy Awards ceremony where the Oscar-winning actor slapped Rock on live television in reaction to a joke about his wife.
“The comedian had literally just said he now has more security because of all the uproar from his jokes about the Trans community,” tweeted Buzzfeed News reporter Brianna Sacks, who attended the show.
After resuming, Chappelle joked that “it was a trans man.”
A midday police statement recounted the incident but gave no indication of whether investigators had determined the motive for the attack.
“We care deeply about the safety of creators and we strongly defend the right of stand-up comedians to perform on stage without fear of violence,” a Netflix statement said.

Leading Digital Health Innovators Come Together to Change Industry's Attitude and Approach to Regulatory Oversight
BOSTON, June 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, the Digital Medicine Society (DiMe) launched a collaborative project, Digital Health Regulatory Pathways, with partners including Abbott, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Google, and the Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science to develop tools to help transform product and regulatory strategy for digital health solution providers. Contemplating a broad spectrum of digital health solutions – including clinical decision support systems, digital diagnostics and therapeutics, extended reality, and remote monitoring technologies – the planned resources will support innovators seeking to optimize their regulatory strategy to drive the development of high quality, trustworthy digital health products that best meet their commercial goals and the needs of patients.
Digital health solutions offer enormous promise to address some of the most pressing and persistent challenges in healthcare. However, end users are confused as they seek to differentiate between the 300k+ health apps available for download and much more sophisticated, evidence-based digital health solutions. Digital health innovators are equally confused. In a recent survey of the digital medicine community, DiMe found that 25% of developers didn't know whether their digital health product should be regulated. Of those surveyed who knew their product should be regulated, 75% reported not knowing the optimal regulatory pathway.
"We need to flip the script and see regulatory strategy become a differentiator for digital health solution providers. As we anticipate a tightening of funding for digital innovators, the importance of selecting optimal regulatory pathways for individual products and product portfolios becomes critically important to ensure market access, trust, and adoption," said Jennifer Goldsack, CEO of DiMe. "We are proud to work alongside industry leaders and our regulatory colleagues to provide the clarity and structure needed for innovators to pursue regulatory pathways that position their products to have the greatest impact on healthcare delivery and patients' lives."
Over the next few months, DiMe and its partners will create an open access, interactive, regulatory science support tool that is based on existing FDA and other agency guidance documents. It can be used by digital solutions providers as they evaluate the following questions: What is the right regulatory strategy for our product? What are the pros and cons of pursuing a regulatory pathway? What are the key milestones and evidence needed to be successful?
"We believe digital health solutions have the potential to unlock more accessible and equitable care for everyone, powered by new technologies and advances in areas like artificial intelligence and machine learning," said Linda Peters, Vice President of Quality, Regulatory & Safety, Health at Google. "We're delighted that DiMe is convening this group to develop and extend tools that can support the wider ecosystem, so that we can all help accelerate the translation of new technologies from ideas to daily use."
The development of this tool and companion resources, which will be publicly available in early 2023, is just one part of DiMe's implementation work to support broad acceptance of digital health tools and optimization of regulatory strategy. DiMe has a robust history of success in this area, including work with the German Ministry of Health, the adoption of previous work by regulatory authorities, and existing partnerships with the FDA (DiMe hosts the Digital Health Measurement Collaborative Community (DATAcc) and is part of FDA's "Network of Experts".
Community partners on this project are Abbott, Aetion, Amgen, the Consumer Technology Association (CTA), the Digital Therapeutic Alliance (DTA), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Genentech - a member of the Roche Group, Google, the Harvard-MIT Center for Regulatory Science, Janssen, Otsuka Pharmaceuticals, Rock Health, Sidekick Health, and Tidepool.

About the Digital Medicine Society: DiMe is a global non-profit and the professional home for all members of the digital medicine community. Together, we tackle the toughest digital medicine challenges, develop clinical-quality resources on a technology timeline, and deliver these actionable resources to the field via open-source channels and educational programs. Join us to advance the ethical, effective, equitable, and safe use of digital medicine to redefine healthcare and improve lives.

Engages Perella Weinberg Partners LP as Lead Investment Bank
Begins to Prepare Businesses for Sale or Reorganization
Seeks Court Relief to Resume Limited Operations in Consultation with Regulators
WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- FTX Trading Ltd. (d.b.a. FTX.com), and approximately 101 additional affiliated companies (together, the "FTX Debtors"), today announced that as a part of the Chapter 11 process, they are launching a strategic review of their global assets to begin to maximize recoverable value for stakeholders. The FTX Debtors have engaged Perella Weinberg Partners LP ("PWP") as lead investment bank and commenced preparation of certain businesses for sale or reorganization. The engagement of PWP is subject to Court approval.
"Based on our review over the past week, we are pleased to learn that many regulated or licensed subsidiaries of FTX, within and outside of the United States, have solvent balance sheets, responsible management and valuable franchises," said Mr. John J. Ray, III. "Some of these subsidiaries – such as LedgerX LLC and Embed Clearing LLC, for example – are not debtors in the chapter 11 cases. Other subsidiaries – such as FTX Japan KK, Quoine Pte. Ltd, FTX Turkey Teknoloji Ve Ticaret A.Ş., FTX EU Ltd, FTX Exchange FZE and Zubr Exchange Ltd – are debtors. Either way, it will be a priority of ours in the coming weeks to explore sales, recapitalizations or other strategic transactions with respect to these subsidiaries, and others that we identify as our work continues."
Mr. Ray further commented, "I have instructed the team at the FTX Debtors to prioritize the preservation of franchise value as best we can in these difficult circumstances. I respectfully ask all of our employees, vendors, customers, regulators and government stakeholders to be patient with us as we put in place the arrangements that corporate governance failures at FTX prevented us from putting in place prior to filing our chapter 11 cases."
The FTX Debtors have filed today various motions with the Bankruptcy Court seeking interim relief from the Court that, if granted, would allow the operation of a new global cash management system and the ordinary course payment of critical vendors and vendors at foreign subsidiaries. A hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday, November 22, 2022.
The FTX Debtors have not set a specific timetable for completion of this process, and it does not intend to disclose further developments unless and until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.
The FTX Debtors have established Kroll as its claims agent, and all official documents filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court can be found online at https://cases.ra.kroll.com/FTX/.

‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’ opens to $114 million
There is nothing like the promise of a chapter closing to draw people to the movie theater, especially when tied to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This weekend, " Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” which says goodbye to this iteration of the space misfits and its driving creative voice, director James Gunn, earned $114 million in ticket sales from 4,450 locations in North America, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Internationally, where the film opened in 52 territories including China, “Vol. 3″ earned $168 million, giving it a $282 million global debut.
Domestically, it’s both an impressive sum for any movie and slightly less than what we’ve come to expect from a Marvel opening. Last year on the same weekend, “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness,” riding on the success of “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” raked in $187.4 million in its first three days in North America. And in November, “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” also opened over $181.3 million.
But things have come back to earth this year, at least by high-flying superhero standards. “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” debuted just over $106 million on its way to $474 million worldwide. At rival studio DC/Warner Bros., “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” only made $133.4 million total. The question on some analysts’ minds this weekend is whether it’s because of the specific character or a bigger issue of “superhero fatigue.”
“Guardians Vol. 3″ bumped " The Super Mario Bros. Movie " out of first place after four weekends atop the charts and kicked off the summer movie season, a vital and usually profitable corridor for Hollywood that runs through Labor Day and often accounts for 40% of a year’s box office.
For Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian, it’s still a solid opening for the summer season, which he said is poised to deliver the most robust profits since 2019.
“Though ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3′s’ debut may reflect a bit of audience fatigue for the reliable superhero genre, this is just the beginning for what promises to be an irresistible movie marketplace with a killer combination of appealing films for every taste and every audience demographic,” Dergarabedian said.
The next major superhero movie on the schedule is DC’s “The Flash,” set for June 16, which has its own flurry of intrigue around it because of star Ezra Miller’s legal and personal troubles.
“Guardians Vol. 3″ sees the return of actors Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldaña, Dave Bautista, Karen Gillan, Pom Klementieff, Bradley Cooper and Vin Diesel. Reviews have been mostly positive, but a little more divided than previous installments. And it remains difficult to compare a pre-pandemic opening such as Vol. 2′s $146 million debut (May 2017) with a post-pandemic one.
“Vol. 3″ is Gunn’s last Guardians/Marvel movie as he turns his focus to leading DC Studios.
“The Super Mario Bros. Movie” added $18.6 million in its fifth weekend to take second place, bringing its domestic total to $518.1 million. Globally, it has now surpassed $1.1 billion.
Third place went to “Evil Dead Rise” with $5.7 million, and in fourth place was “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,” with $3.4 million — both were holdovers.
Studios left the weekend mostly clear for the superhero behemoth, but Screen Gems and Sony did debut their new Priyanka Chopra Jonas romantic comedy “Love Again” (featuring Celine Dion and some new songs) in 2703 locations. It made a modest $2.4 million to take the fifth place spot.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3,” $114 million.
2. “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” $18.6 million.
3. “Evil Dead Rise,” $5.7 million.
4. “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret,” $3.4 million.
5. “Love Again,” $2.4 million.
6. “John Wick: Chapter 3,” $2.4 million.
7. “Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves,” $1.5 million.
8. “Air,” $1.4 million.
9. “Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant,” $1.2 million.
10. “Sisu,” $1.1 million.

After the Allen Premium Outlets shooting, those who believe a right to life supersedes a right for everyone to possess a firearm, regulations derived from the Second Amendment, the expression “well regulated” must apply.
First, a firearm owner must be licensed through an extensive background check, which will include psychological testing to eliminate those suicidal or psychotic. Gov. Greg Abbott insists the problem is mental health, but he provides guns to crazy people. The licensee must have a picture ID and thumbprint and be over 21. Those under 21 must have an adult with them to handle a firearm.
Second, for a licensee to purchase a gun, a 10-day waiting period must be used to research behavior since licensing. The purchaser must undergo training in firearm safety. No assault rifles are to be in any one’s possession other than the military.
Third, if a person has a firearm in bodily possession, he will forfeit it if intoxicated or under the influence of drugs, or if he threatens to use it illegally or exhibits family violence.
Finally, private militias must not be allowed firearms. Public militias will be controlled by the Department of Public Safety and have all firearms registered. Criminals must not have guns.

With no electricity, there's no power to run filtration systems and no power to pump water into homes. That means no clean water for drinking, bathing or flushing toilets.
As of Monday afternoon, more than 837,000 customers of the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority had no water service or were suffering significant interruptions, according to the government's emergency portal system.
AAA, as Puerto Rico's water agency is called, is the only water company on the island and serves 1.2 million clients, which means only 34% of households currently have clean running water. AAA President Doriel I. Pagán Crespo explained that in addition to the power outages, water supplies have been severely impacted by the flooding and surges of Puerto Rico's rivers.
"Most of the rivers are too high," Pagán Crespo said during an interview with WKAQ 580 AM on Monday, El Nuevo Día reported.
"We have 112 filtration plants, and most of them are supplied from rivers. ... As long as the rivers continue to decrease in level and it is safe for our personnel to carry out cleaning tasks, that is how we will be doing it," she added.
When the monster Category 4 Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico in September 2017, it took months to restore municipal water services, forcing people to rely entirely on bottled water or for those more desperate, to bathe and drink from natural sources that had raw sewage flowing into them. The Associated Press reported that a month after the storm, 20 of the island's 51 sewage treatment plants remained out of service. Meanwhile, Environmental Protection Agency officials could not inspect some of the island's highly toxic Superfund sites that were knocked out of service.
Even a year later, a Washington Post-Kaiser Family Foundation survey found that 50% of Puerto Ricans reported their households could not get enough clean water to drink.
For now, those communities whose water has been restored are under a boil-water advisory.

BOSTON (AP) — Ukrainians reacted Thursday with puzzlement and some ire to comments by a top Starlink official that their country has “weaponized” the satellite internet service, which has been pivotal to their national survival.
President Gwynne Shotwell of SpaceX, which runs Starlink, was also reported to have said at the same venue Wednesday that the Elon Musk-controlled company has taken unspecified action to prevent Ukraine’s military from using Starlink technology against Russian invaders.
The network of low-orbiting satellites has been crucial to Ukraine’s use of battlefield drones — a central fixture of the year-old war — and the country’s defenders have no viable alternative. The satellite links help Ukrainian fighters locate the enemy and target long-range artillery strikes.
Onstage at a conference in Washington, D.C., Shotwell said: “We were really pleased to be able to provide Ukraine connectivity and help them in their fight for freedom. It was never intended to be weaponized. However, Ukrainians have leveraged it in ways that were unintentional and not part of any agreement.”
Speaking separately to reporters from The Wall Street Journal and other news organizations afterward, Shotwell said SpaceX has worked to restrict Ukraine’s use of Starlink for military purposes.
“There are things that we can do to limit their ability to do that,” they quoted her as saying without offering details. “There are things that we can do, and have done.”
That drew the ire of a top aide to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In a tweet, Mykhailo Podolyak said SpaceX needs to decide whether it is on the side of Ukraine’s right to freedom or Russia’s “’right’ to kill & seize territories.”
It was not clear whether Shotwell’s comments Wednesday were made at the urging of Musk, the founder, CEO and chief engineer of SpaceX. An email to SpaceX seeking comment was not immediately returned.
There was no indication of any interruption to Starlink service in Ukraine.
In a statement, the country’s Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov reported “no problems with the operation of Starlink uplink terminals in Ukraine.” A ministry official familiar with the situation said checks Thursday of cities near the war’s front lines found no indications of trouble with Starlink coverage. The official spoke on condition they not be further identified.
The 2,200-satellite constellation has been a lifeline for the country since Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion, especially vital as Ukraine struggles to keep electrical power and telecommunications operating under withering Russian missile and drone attacks on civilian targets.
In the statement, Fedorov touted the arrival of the first of a new batch of 10,000 terminals provided by the German government, adding: “Starlinks help save thousands of lives daily. The energy infrastructure continues to work due to Starlinks. Doctors perform complex surgeries thanks to the connection that Starlinks provide.”
The Thursday statement called Musk “one of the biggest private donors of our future victory,” estimating SpaceX’s contributions as worth more than $100 million. “We hope for further stable work of Starlinks in Ukraine.”
A Ukrainian military official called Shotwell’s statements “strange” given the well-established fact of the country’s use of Starlink as a combat tool.
Musk caused a stir in October when he publicly called on the Pentagon to take over funding of Starlink’s Ukraine effort.
The billionaire and Twitter owner later backed down. Earlier that month he raised Zelenskyy’s hackles by arguing on Twitter that to achieve peace, Russia should be allowed to keep the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized in 2014. He also said Ukraine should adopt a neutral status, dropping a bid to join NATO.
About the same time, Starlink terminals stopped working in newly liberated territories at the Ukraine-Russia front lines in the Kherson region. Ukrainian officials later said that was because the speed of their reconquest had pushed forces into areas Starlink that had “geo-fenced” to prevent Russia from using the service.
In a late December interview, Fedorov told The Associated Press that 24,000 Starlink terminals were operating in the country, most provided by donors.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Coyotes were greeted by a sea of mullets, the NHL’s smallest arena filled with fans revved up for a new season.
The Coyotes got the party off to a great start with two energy-boosting goals. The Winnipeg Jets pulled the plug in overtime.
Blake Wheeler scored 32 seconds into overtime and the Jets spoiled the Coyotes’ Mullett Arena debut with a 3-2 victory Friday night.
“A tough way to end it, right?” Coyotes forward Christian Fischer said. “I felt we deserved better.”
Arizona opened the season with six straight road games before returning to the desert and The Mullett.
Mullett Arena, Arizona State University’s new arena, is by far the smallest venue in the NHL and a temporary home until a permanent one is built.
The Coyotes had the early jump in front of 5,000 mullet-wearing fans — headbands with long locks were the giveaway — going up 2-0 on Christian Fischer’s first-period goals.
The Jets whittled their way back.
Cole Perfetti scored in the first period and Winnipeg picked up the pressure in the third, tying it on Mark Scheifele’s goal.
David Rittich, who stopped 19 shots, made a couple of nice saves to start overtime, and Wheeler beat Karel Vejmelka on a one-timer after Pierre-Luc Dubois created a 2-on-1 after stealing the puck from Shayne Gostisbehere.
Vejmelka had 32 saves.
“We played last night in LA and those first periods are always tough, but we stuck with it,” Wheeler said. “You leave those games close on a back to back, tied or down a goal, you’ve got a chance.”
The Coyotes got the Mullett party off to a rousing start.
Fischer scored the first NHL goal in Mullett Arena history midway through the first period, when Troy Stecher’s shot from the right circle hit him shoulder and caromed pass Rittich.
That’ll be something that I’ll probably hold over the boys the next several years, let them know that little history on myself for for that goal,” Fischer said.
Fischer also had the second goal, beating Rittich glove side off a faceoff win.
Then the Mullett momentum switched.
Perfetti scored 26 seconds later after pickpocketing Josh Brown along the boards, flipping a shot over a prone Vejmelka following some nifty stickhandling.
Rittich and Vejmelka stole the show in the second period, each making difficult close-range saves through traffic.
Scheifele tied it with his sixth goal of the season midway through the third, whipping in a rebound after Vejmelka got jammed on a high shot.
The Jets ended up rallying to win it, just like they did the night before after a slow start against the Kings.
“Obviously, we’re like to have a better start and coming into another team’s building, they’re going to have an early jump,” Perfetti said. “That said, it goes to show a lot about our group and what we can do.:
FAST PLACE
The ice is the same size as any other arena, but the closed-in feeling at Mullett Arena, coupled with pristine ice, had the players feel like they were flying around.
“I know it’s the same size, but the game comes faster when it’s a smaller rink,” Fischer said. “Any of the guys that play those preseason games elsewhere — we played a bunch of them — the game comes quicker for whatever reason.”
NOTES: Winnipeg is 0 for 14 on the power play — 0 for 5 Friday — the past four games and 2 for 24 overall. … Coyotes D Jakob Chychrun missed his seventh straight game after suffering a recent setback in his recovery from offseason wrist surgery. … Jets D Logan Stanley missed his second straight game after getting banged up on a blocked shot Monday against St. Louis.
UP NEXT
Jets: At at Vegas on Sunday.
Coyotes: Host the New York Rangers on Sunday.

NEW YORK (PIX11) – Passover starts this Wednesday at sundown.

The second of four Social Security Disability Insurance payments was disbursed by the Social Security Administration this week. If you're expecting a payment but haven't received it yet, don't fret. When you get your money depends on two things: your date of birth and the year you first started receiving SSDI money.
SSDI follows a similar schedule to Social Security payments unless you've been getting SSDI checks for several decades. We'll explain below. Also, don't forget that the amount you receive will be more, starting January 2023, because of the cost of living adjustment.
Here's when you'll get your Social Security Disability Insurance payment in December. For more, here's why Supplemental Security Income recipients will get their COLA increase in December.
SSDI payment schedule if you've received them since 1997 or earlier
If you've been an SSDI recipient since 1997 or before, your payment should arrive on the third day of every month.
There are exceptions, however. If the third day of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, you'll get your payment the business day before. For example, Sept. 3 fell on a Saturday this year, so beneficiaries received their payments on Friday, Sept. 2.
December will work the same way since Dec. 3 is also on a Saturday. So you should receive your check on Dec. 2.
The SSDI payment schedule for everyone else depends on their birthday
Payments for those who haven't been receiving SSDI money since 1997 or before follow the same schedule as Social Security. Here's how it works:
- If your birthday falls between the 1st and 10th of the month, your payment will be sent out on the second Wednesday of the month.
- If your birthday falls between the 11th and 20th of the month, your payment will be sent out on the third Wednesday of the month.
- If your birthday falls between the 21st and 31st of the month, your payment will be sent out on the fourth Wednesday of the month.
When you'll get your SSDI December payment
Here's when your payment will arrive, based on your date of birth:
Dec. 14: SSDI payment for those with birthdays falling between the 1st and 10th of any given month.
Dec. 21: SSDI payment for those with birthdays falling between the 11th and 20th of any given month.
Dec. 28: SSDI payment for those with birthdays falling between the 21st and 31st of any given month.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Treasury Department said Wednesday it has complied with a court order to make former President Donald Trump's tax returns available to a congressional committee.
The Supreme Court last week rejected Trump’s request for an order that would have prevented the Treasury Department from giving six years of tax returns for Trump and some of his businesses to the Democratic-controlled House Ways and Means Committee.
The court, without dissent, cleared the legal obstacle to disclosure of Trump's tax returns.
A department spokesperson said “Treasury has complied with last week’s court decision” but declined to say whether the committee had accessed the documents. The spokesperson declined to be identified by name because of privacy constraints.
Trump refused to release his tax returns during his 2016 presidential campaign or his four years in the White House.
After the Supreme Court action, Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., said in a statement that “since the Magna Carta, the principle of oversight has been upheld, and today is no different. This rises above politics, and the Committee will now conduct the oversight that we’ve sought for the last three and a half years.”
Trump’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In the dispute over his tax returns, the Treasury Department had refused to provide the records during Trump’s presidency. But the Biden administration said federal law is clear that the committee has the right to examine any taxpayer’s return, including the president’s.
Lower courts agreed that the committee has broad authority to obtain tax returns and rejected Trump’s claims that it was overstepping and only wanted the documents so they could be made public.
Chief Justice John Roberts imposed a temporary freeze on Nov. 1 to allow the court to weigh the legal issues raised by Trump’s lawyers and the counter-arguments of the administration and the House of Representatives.
Just over three weeks later, the court lifted Roberts’ order without comment.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Nearly 1 million people applied for international protection in the European Union in 2022, according to data published Wednesday, bringing the number of asylum requests to a level not seen since the refugee crisis of 2015-2016.
The EU agency for asylum said 966,000 asylum applications were made in the 27 EU countries as well as in Norway and Switzerland last year, up 50% from 2021. That doesn’t include more than 4 million Ukrainian refugees who were granted temporary protection in the EU, a special mechanism activated to avoid collapsing already backlogged asylum systems.
The European agency linked the increase to continuing easing of COVID-19 travel restrictions, increasing food insecurity and conflicts in many parts of the world. Though most asylum-seekers enter the EU legally, mainly by plane with travel visas, some also crossed the EU’s land and sea borders without permission, mainly through the Western Balkans and the Mediterranean.
After more than a decade of war and economic collapse in their country, Syrians continued to be the top nationality of asylum-seekers in Europe with more than 130,000 applications. They were followed closely by Afghans fleeing the spiraling security, humanitarian and financial troubles that followed the Taliban takeover in August 2021, with 129,000 requests.
Coming in third were applicants from Turkey who doubled in numbers with 55,000 requests. Soaring inflation and “democratic backsliding” were among the factors believed to have caused the increase, the agency said.
In many places, reception centers are overwhelmed, leaving asylum-seekers in the streets.
The recent earthquake that killed nearly 46,000 people and left hundreds of thousands homeless in Turkey and Syria has raised fears of a potential surge in irregular border crossings into Greece. Germany offered earlier this month to temporarily ease visa restrictions to some quake survivors while Spain promised to resettle a small group of 100 vulnerable Syrian refugees from Turkey, which is home to 4 million refugees.
Venezuelans, Colombians, Bangladeshis and Georgians applied for asylum in record numbers last year, as did Moroccans, Tunisians and Egyptians. Some 4% of asylum-seekers in 2022 claimed to be unaccompanied minors.
The European agency didn’t say which EU countries received the most applications last year. But an internal EU migration report seen by the Associated Press lists Germany, France, Spain, Austria and Italy as the top five.
Asylum authorities issued decisions on more than 600,000 applications last year but they received even more new cases, adding to the existing backlog. Of the applications analyzed, 40% were granted refugee status or subsidiary protection, mostly for Syrian, Belarusian, Eritrean, Yemeni, and Malian applicants, as well as for most of the Ukrainians who chose to apply for asylum instead of temporary protection.

"Over the last four years we have flourished under the leadership of Managing Director Chris Reynolds, who we are delighted to announce will now take on the role of Chief Operating Officer to support and enable the addition of a new CEO, who can build upon the team, brand, and business we have created together, enabling Bremont to become one of the top global watch companies in the industry."
Chris Reynolds, Managing Director, added: "Bremont has built a state-of-the art business, from our outstanding product design, development and engineering, to our global marketing, wholesale, and retail operations. This investment will allow us to scale our operations, accelerate innovation, and enhance our in-house capabilities, talent development, and recruitment."
As the company continues its expansion, particularly in the thriving US market, Bremont remains focused on producing the highest-quality, precision-engineered and crafted timepieces. This new capital will drive Bremont's multi-channel, multi-market expansion, enabling new boutique openings in the United States and globally, wholesale expansion, enhanced JV partnerships and greater brand visibility.
Bremont and its existing investors, led by Hellcat LP – an investment vehicle representing a group of individuals and investment professionals who have been shareholders of Bremont for more than eight years – have always had strong ambitions to grow the Company's manufacturing capabilities and worldwide distribution. As it embarks on its next phase, Bremont remains committed to the pillars of its luxury heritage that have guided it since its inception and will do for generations to come.
The Company has retained the services of leading executive recruitment firm Egon Zehnder to assist in its search for a new CEO.

WACO, Texas — The comeback kids? More like the comeback Cougars.
After falling 3-0 on Wednesday night against the Taylor Ducks, the China Spring Cougars showed up to Baylor Ballpark on Thursday ready to pounce.
During game two, leading the pack was the master on the mound, Jayden Honey. With temperatures in the 90's, it was a hot day on the diamond and the heat got to Honey. Mid-inning he turns around, pukes and rallies to victory racking in 6 strikeouts and holding Taylor to one run in game two.
The Cougars forced a winner-takes-all game three, but this one not so easy.
It was back and forth all night. The Ducks came out hot in the first inning putting three on the board, but the Cougars bats got hot in the box. China Spring ties it up at 3-3 in the second, then takes the lead and then loses the lead again. It was a battle until the last pitch.
China Spring head coach, Cory Beckham, never stopped believing in his guys and a late start in game three was nothing they couldn't handle.
"I got them together at the end of the second and said 'Guys we are the better team. We are going to score some runs.' Man, we just started hitting and hitting," Beckham said. "We have a tough lineup as it is. It takes a lot to get us out and keep getting us out. We never let anything get to us. We stayed the course. We stuck to the plan and these guys are amazing."
Whether it was trailing by three runs to start game three or heading into game two of the series with a loss under their belt, the Cougars never gave up. They kept pouncing until the very last pitch.
"They just have confidence in themselves," Beckham said. "Their (Taylor's) best pitcher is out. One of our good pitchers is too, but we have a better pitching staff than them. We have amazing hitters. Wouldn't we love to face this team and beat them twice. They have to beat us once. That's a bigger feat than us beating them twice. We're the better team."
The Cougars showed fight and grit in Waco and peaked when they needed it most taking down the Ducks, 14-6.
China Spring now heads to Austin for the second straight year and hopes to flip the script after falling in the semifinals last season.
First pitch is Wednesday at either 1 p.m. or 4 p.m. at UFCU Disch Falk and 6 Sports will have you covered with all of the highlights.

Rating confirms the mutual insurance group's financial strength and ability to pay customers' current and future claims
STEVENS POINT, Wis., July 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- After concluding its annual review, AM Best assigned Sentry an A+ (superior) rating for a 32nd consecutive year. In doing so, the insurance industry's lead rating authority pointed to the mutual insurance group's "innovative initiatives" as positioning it as a leading commercial casualty writer.
"Our strategy for success involves accessing new markets, investing in new technologies that better serve the business and our customers, and developing a strong talent pipeline," said Pete McPartland, Sentry Chairman of the Board, President, and CEO. "Our efforts, led by a unified management team and dedicated associates, pave a path for a strong future for Sentry—one where we're leading the way in an evolving business landscape."
Fewer than 10% of U.S.-based property and casualty insurance companies earn the A+ rating—even less have achieved it for more than three straight decades.
This past year, elevated inflation, catastrophic weather events, and volatile investment markets strained the insurance industry.
"In a challenging year, Sentry outperformed standards for premium growth and profitability, solidifying our position as one of the best-capitalized companies in the insurance industry," said Todd Schroeder, Chief Administrative Officer and Chief Financial Officer.
The A+ (superior) rating speaks to the soundness of Sentry as a company. In support of the rating, AM Best points to Sentry's balance sheet strength, which it ranks as "strongest" for risk-adjusted capitalization. AM Best also recognizes Sentry's disciplined investment management strategy and consistent operating results, the latter of which is "fueled by management's innovative initiatives."

Mike Trout and Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Angels were elected Friday to start in the July 19 All-Star Game along with Mookie Betts and Trea Turner of the host Dodgers.
Toronto catcher Alejandro Kirk and Miami second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. were voted to start as first-time All-Stars, finishing atop their positions in the second round of fan voting.
Aaron Judge of the New York Yankees and Ronald Acuña Jr. of the World Series champion Atlanta Braves were elected from the first round of balloting as the top vote-getters in their leagues.
The AL starting lineup includes Blue Jays first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Houston second baseman Jose Altuve, Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson, Boston third baseman Rafael Devers and Kirk behind the plate. Giancarlo Stanton of the Yankees joined Judge and Trout in the outfield, while Ohtani was voted in as designated hitter.
Ohtani became the first two-way All-Star last year when he was voted the AL DH, then was picked for the pitching staff and started on the mound.
Judge and Stanton will become the first Yankees teammates to start in the outfield together since Dave Winfield and Rickey Henderson in 1988.
NL starters include Chicago Cubs catcher Willson Contreras, St. Louis first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, Chisholm at second, Turner at shortstop, San Diego third baseman Manny Machado and an outfield of Betts, Acuña and San Francisco’s Joc Pederson.
Philadelphia’s Bryce Harper was elected as the National League’s first DH following the expansion of the DH rule to both leagues but will be replaced in the starting lineup after breaking his left thumb when hit by a pitch from San Diego’s Blake Snell on June 25. Harper earned his seventh All-Star selection, his sixth as a starter.
Trout was picked for the 10th time, his ninth as a starter. Altuve and Goldschmidt earned their eighth All-Star trips and Stanton was picked for the fifth time but the first since Miami traded him to the Yankees ahead of the 2018 season.
In addition to Chisholm and Kirk, Anderson, Peterson and Turner were elected for their first All-Star starts.
Stanton beat Toronto’s George Springer 22% to 20% for the final AL outfield spot after finishing fourth, just behind Springer, in the opening round. Ohtani defeated Houston’s Yordan Alvarez 52% to 48% at DH.
Machado edged the Cardinals’ Nolan Arenado 51% to 49% at NL third base, and Turner beat out Atlanta’s Dansby Swanson 52% to 48%.
Chisholm got 59% of the NL second base vote after finishing second to the Braves’ Ozzie Albies in the first round. Devers received 60% at third base in the AL after finishing second to Cleveland’s José Ramírez in the opening round.
Goldschmidt earned a $250,000 bonus for his selection, Altuve, Harper, Stanton and Trout get $50,000 each, and Anderson receives $25,000.
The first phase of voting ran from June 8-30 and the second phase from Tuesday until Friday.
Pitchers and reserves will be announced Sunday,
Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred added a 33rd player to each roster Friday, selecting Albert Pujols of St. Louis and Miguel Cabrera of Detroit for career achievements.

Highlights
- Assays achieved expected grades over entire core length of 354 metres: 0.24% nickel including 15 metres of 0.39% nickel and 6 metres of 0.57% nickel
- Confirmed same mineralogy as Company's flagship Crawford Project
- Reid property has larger geophysical footprint than Crawford
- Crawford resource update expected to be released by July 6, 2022
TORONTO, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Canada Nickel Company Inc. ("Canada Nickel" or the "Company") (TSXV: CNC) (OTCQX: CNIKF) announced today assay results at its Reid property, where two drill holes have been completed as part of its regional exploration program. Drilling was highlighted by hole REI21-02 which intersected 354 meters of 0.24% nickel and includes 15 meters of 0.39% nickel and 6 meters of 0.57% nickel. Mineralogy completed on samples from these holes confirmed that they contain the same heazlewoodite-pentlandite-awaruite minerals as Crawford.
Mark Selby, Chair and Chief Executive Officer said, "We are very pleased with our drilling on the Reid target. The assay results from the second hole achieved expected grades over 354 metres and contains a core of higher grade mineralization of 15 metres of 0.39% nickel, and the first hole intersected a PGM zone similar to that at Crawford.
We are continuing to drill Reid as we highlight the resource potential of this target with a larger geophysical footprint than our original Crawford discovery. Additionally, we are looking forward to the release of our updated resource estimate for Crawford expected to be released by July 6, 2022."
The Reid Property is located just 16 kilometres southwest of Crawford and contains an ultramafic target that measures 3.3 kilometres north-south by 2.1 kilometres east-west based on the total magnetic intensity ("TMI") (see Figure 1). Hole REI-22-02 collared on dunite in the SE corner of the target, and was drilled to the NW. It remained in dunite for a total length of 354 metres grading 0.24% nickel, with a higher-grade section near the bottom of the hole intersecting 0.39% nickel over 15 metres (see table 1A). The hole ended in mineralized dunite, and the contact is open to the north.
REI22-01 collared on dunite in the same setup, drilling towards the south contact where the magnetic anomaly is at its highest. The hole transitioned from dunite to a sequence of peridotite-pyroxenite-gabbro similar to that seen at Crawford. The pyroxenite in the sequence yielded 1.6g/t Pt+Pd over 4.5 metres (see Table 1B) similar in grade and thickness to PGM zone at Crawford.
Mineralogy completed on samples from these holes confirmed that they contain the same heazlewoodite-pentlandite-awaruite minerals as Crawford.
As of June, drilling at Reid resumed with a helicopter supported program that will test the extent of the anomaly.
Canada Nickel also announces that it has agreed to issue 100,000 common shares pursuant to the terms of an exploration agreement relating to the Company's Crawford Project and 34,200 common shares pursuant to the settlement of certain matters with a third party service provider. These issuances are subject to the prior approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The common shares described in this news release will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period from the date of issuance under applicable securities laws.
Edwin Escarraga, MSc, P.Geo., a "qualified person" as defined by National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for the on-going drilling and sampling program, including quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC). The core is collected from the drill in sealed core trays and transported to the core logging facility. The core is marked and sampled at 1.5 metre lengths and cut with a diamond blade saw.

Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin is making it clear that karma is indeed a thing.
The HBO Max series, like its predecessor, is chock full of secrets—and it's only a matter of time before they come out. An exclusive sneak peek from the season premiere teases just how far back one of those secrets goes. In the clip, Imogen (Bailee Madison), one of the new liars, welcomes friend-turned-enemy Karen (Mallory Bechtel) into her home to pick up some old belongings.
They awkwardly stand together, Imogen crossing her arms over her pregnant belly as Karen just stares. "I don't want any drama," Karen says, to which Imogen replies, "Me neither."
The tension dissipates slightly when Imogen's mom, Davie (Carly Pope), steps into the room, oblivious to the animosity. "Hello, Karen!" she says. "Haven't seen much of you lately."
At this point, Karen offers an envelope she found taped to their door. Davie turns it over and finds its addressed to her, but the "A" in her name is a blood red color, standing out among the black font. Inside, there's an invite to "party like it's 1999," causing a look of fear to spread over Davie's face—which her daughter notices.
"Mom? Everything OK?" Imogen asks, catching Davie's attention. She lies, saying that it's just a flyer for a restaurant in town, but we've got a bad feeling about this whole situation.
After the girls leave the room, Davie turns over the flyer and finds a message: "Gone but not forgotten. You can't ignore the past forever. The countdown is on."
As teased in the official trailer, the spin-off's new A is out to seek vengeance on Imogen and her friends for not just their sins, but their mothers' too. It all stems from an incident that happened 20 years ago, around the same time that this party took place. So could this invite be the first clue to finding out who the mysterious A is?

A midday siesta sounds relaxing, right? Researchers from the University of Murcia in Spain wanted to examine if there is an association between siestas and obesity.
The study included 3,275 adults from the Mediterranean and found that long siestas were associated with higher values of body mass index levels, waist circumference, fasting glucose, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. The study considered a siesta lasting over 30 minutes as “long.”
According to the study, 35% of those surveyed take regular midday naps: 19% take short naps, and 16% take long siestas.
The research also said high smoking rates were noted among those who took longer siestas.
Delays in nighttime sleep and eating schedules also were associated with higher BMI levels.
“Results call for studies to investigate whether short siestas are advisable over long siestas, especially in individuals with behaviors that mediate the association between long siestas and obesity, such as delayed meals and sleep schedules, or in those who smoke,” the researchers said. “In addition, studies are needed to test whether lower caloric intake at lunch decreases the deleterious effects of long napping on obesity and systolic blood pressure.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, both short and long naps can counteract fatigue.
“A brief nap (15-30 minutes) can increase alertness for a couple of hours after the nap, with less grogginess, and does not disrupt subsequent sleep at night because it does not reduce the homeostatic buildup of pressure for sleep,” the CDC said.

The children of Queen Elizabeth II are accompanying their mother’s coffin on a procession through the Scottish capital.
A military bagpiper played mournful music as the coffin, draped in the royal standard, was carried from the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh and placed in a hearse Monday.
King Charles III, dressed in army uniform, and his siblings Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward are walking behind the hearse as the procession moves slowly toward St. Giles’ Cathedral.
The hearse was flanked by a bearer party of the Royal Regiment of Scotland and a detachment of The King’s Body Guard in Scotland, the Royal Company of Archers.
Lines of people waited to file past the coffin at St Giles’ Cathedral began forming around dawn.
Charles flew to Scotland after earlier receiving condolences from both Britain’s houses of parliament.
The coffin will remain at the cathedral until Tuesday so that members of the public can pay their respects. | https://www.kgun9.com/news/world/king-charles-siblings-escort-mothers-coffin-to-memorial-service-in-scotland | 2022-09-12 15:24:06 | 1 | https://www.kgun9.com/news/world/king-charles-siblings-escort-mothers-coffin-to-memorial-service-in-scotland |
‘I only operate:’ A Ukrainian trauma surgeon has an all-consuming task during Russia’s war
By ILLIA NOVIKOV and VASILISA STEPANENKO
Associated Press
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — As the lead trauma surgeon at a military hospital in Ukraine’s capital, Petro Nikitin has his hands deep in a war churning hundreds of kilometers (miles) away. The 59-year-old doctor’s work to repair the bodies of some of the most badly injured soldiers is all-consuming.
“I only operate,” Nikitin said, taking a short pause as his team continued surgery on a patient. “I do nothing else in my life now. I don’t see my children, who have been evacuated, I don’t see my wife, who has been evacuated, I live by myself, and all I do is treat the wounded.”
While the Ukrainian military does not provide casualty figures, some Western sources estimate more than 100,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed or wounded since Russia invaded the country almost 15 months ago.
Some end up on the operating tables in Nikitin’s hospital, which like other Ukrainian military hospitals, is short-staffed because physicians were pulled away to work in field hospitals closer to the front. The Associated Press agreed not to identify the Kyiv hospital for security reasons.
On Feb. 25, 2022, the day after Russian troops invaded, Nikitin posted a photo on Facebook that showed him listening to an Israeli specialist in treating gunshot wounds. Surgeons from around the world had agreed to participate in an online training on combat-related injuries that Nikitin hastily organized as president of Ukraine’s chapter of an international association of trauma specialists.
“Every one of us had relevant experience before the invasion, but not in such volume,” Nikitin said. “The high numbers of traumas is something new for us.”
Gunshot wounds turned out to be rare. “I don’t even remember the last time I extracted a bullet,” the surgeon said. But during the long days and months, he has become familiar with a range of traumatic injuries: explosive weapons such as landmines, artillery shells and grenades frequently harm many parts of the body at the same time.
“We receive people with damaged legs, chests, stomachs and arms all at once,” Nikitin said. “In such cases, we have to decide what part of the injury should be our priority.”
The military hospital is one of several in Kyiv. As a top-level trauma center, it receives the most complex cases, typically ones involving patients who were stabilized at the front and spent time in a field hospital before their transfer to the capital, Nikitin said.
“We don’t do first aid here. We don’t save lives. That’s done by the medics,” he said. “What we try to do is return these people to a normal life.”
Dealing with wounds involving damage to soft tissue, bone and the structures that bind nerves and veins are the most difficult for his surgical team, Nikitin said. Sometimes they are forced to amputate a soldier’s arm or leg, which “from a moral point of view” is always a gut-wrenching decision, he said.
“Because you understand that your surgery will lead to a disability of the person, it brings no satisfaction to the doctor or to the patient,” he said. “It’s emotionally hard not only for the patient, but for the surgeon.”
Nikitin typically gets to the hospital at 7:45 a.m. and stays until the work is done, sometimes not leaving until about 11 p.m. His wife and children fled Ukraine in March 2022 as Russian forces closed in on Kyiv. He accompanied his family to the border, but then returned to the city.
As the Russian and Ukrainian armies both prepare for possible spring offensives, his schedule has lightened to about three surgeries a day.
Most of the patients he treated recently were wounded in fighting for the eastern city of Bakhmut and elsewhere in Donetsk province, or in northern Ukraine’s Chernihiv and Sumy provinces, which are shelled regularly.
A soldier Nikitin operated on recently was Mykyta, a Bakhmut native who was wounded in the lower leg while fighting for his hometown and celebrated his 20th birthday shortly after his surgery. The AP is withholding his last name in accordance with military guidelines.
His last memory of Bakhmut forms a “terrible” image in his mind, the young soldier said.
“It’s the city where I spent my childhood, and the city is destroyed,” he said from his hospital bed. “The city is on fire.”
Compared with the massive trauma suffered by some patients, Mykyta’s wound did not look so severe, but he still might lose his lower leg, Nikitin said.
Attempts to graft skin over the wound proved unsuccessful, and doctors tried again on Tuesday. Nikitin said he felt optimistic after the surgery but it would take three weeks to know whether the latest skin graft worked.
“If it does not work out, the next step will be amputation,” the surgeon said.
Mykyta is also missing 20 centimeters (about 8 inches) of bone, which will be Nikitin’s next task if the graft is successful. The bone treatment will take more than a half-year.
“In seven months, I can tell you if he will ever walk again,” he said.

Recovery from two-year pandemic shutdown not complete, but 2022 uptick promising
SAN DIEGO, Nov. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- San Diego County Lodging Association's 2023 Hotel Economic Forecast predicts that the region's hotels are poised to continue their recovery from nearly two years of pandemic shutdowns, welcoming business and convention travelers who are choosing Southern California over other destinations.
"We are recovering, but we're not recovered yet,'' said Fred Tayco, Executive Director of the San Diego County Lodging Association. "We're cautiously bullish that business and convention travelers will make San Diego County their preferred destination in 2023, just like leisure travelers did in the second half of 2021 and throughout 2022."
SDCLA partnered with the San Diego Tourism Authority and RAR Hospitality to produce the 2023 Hotel Economic Forecast. Analysis of the 2023 forecast data suggests San Diego hotels are likely to see:
- Business and convention travel increase 9.8 percent over 2022, but be 10 percent below 2019.
- Leisure travel decrease slightly by 0.8 percent from 2022's rebound spike but still be 3.0 percent above 2019 as financial concerns, rising borrowing costs, a looming recession, and increased competitive pressures from other destinations each have an impact.
- Fewer overall guests – compared to pre-pandemic numbers – yet those guests are likely to stay longer.
- Staffing stabilization as hotels hire and train new workers to match occupancy demands and adjust to increased labor and supply costs.
- Travelers select San Diego over other California regions that were slower to re-open.
"Next year may provide a period of transition for San Diego hotels as they adjust to new travel patterns and bring on new employees,'' said Nate Kelley, Director of Research for the SDTA, and one of two authors of SDCLA's 2023 Economic Forecast.
"San Diego's attractiveness for travelers in 2023 will be its diversity – many places to stay, many places to go – that meet any budget," said Robert Rauch, President and CEO of RAR Hospitality and the other author of SDCLA's 2023 Economic Forecast. "There aren't a lot of other destination places that can say that."
SDCLA, SDTA and RAR Hospitality will unveil the 2023 Hotel Economic Forecast during a luncheon Thursday, Nov. 10 at the Handlery Hotel in Mission Valley.
The San Diego County Lodging Association is the leading resource and advocate for San Diego's more than 560 hotels, motels and boutique inns that employ more than 26,900 colleagues. SDCLA, established in 1980, works tireless to serve the needs of our members and represent them at all levels of government. For more information, go to www.lodgingsd.com

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — In the face of multiple controversies over the last year, the Portland Timbers and Portland Thorns announced Wednesday the hiring of Dr. Robin Beavers as the organization’s vice president of community and social impact.
According to the soccer clubs, Beavers has dedicated the last 20 years of her career to developing and managing programs that promote the wellness, equity, and inclusion of all people in society, with a focus on community engagement and outreach. She was born and raised in Portland and serves on the boards of Sport Oregon, POIC/RAHS, Portland Workforce Alliance, Numberz Radio and College Possible-Oregon.
“I am excited to be joining the Timbers and Thorns organization because I get the opportunity to uplift the lives of others through sports as well as strengthen the club’s connection to the community,” Beavers said. “The club has done great work throughout the years and I am looking forward to building upon the Stand Together initiative to continue those efforts so that we can help the communities throughout the Portland Metro area and beyond, thrive.”
In March, the Timbers and Thorns announced a series of initiatives, including the Stand Together initiative around accountability, engagement and equity, including the hiring of a Vice President of Community and Social Impact.
The decision to pursue these initiatives came after allegations of sexual coercion by former Thorns coach Paul Riley against multiple players were revealed in Oct. 2021.
Additionally, a report from The Athletic in February showed that domestic abuse allegations against them Timbers player Andy Polo were not shared with Major League Soccer (MLS) until they became public information — the alleged abuse occurred in May 2021.
Due to the handling of the situation with Polo, the Timbers faced allegations of attempting to cover up domestic abuse claims and the club was fined $25,000 by MLS for failing to “promptly and appropriately report the incident.”
“We strive to be a club this city and our supporters can be proud of. We have more than a decade of outstanding work in the community and off the pitch of which we are extremely proud. However, we are not perfect and will make mistakes occasionally. When that happens, corrections will be made, and we will learn from them,” the Timbers said in a statement published in March. | https://www.koin.com/sports/timbers-thorns-new-front-office-hire-focuses-on-community-engagement-outreach/ | 2022-08-31 23:17:38 | 0 | https://www.koin.com/sports/timbers-thorns-new-front-office-hire-focuses-on-community-engagement-outreach/ |
Saudi-backed LIV Golf and the PGA Tour filed a motion late Friday to dismiss their antitrust lawsuit and countersuits, ending more than 10 months and enormous legal fees in a bitter dispute that turned into a business agreement.
The filing in a northern California federal court was more procedural than a surprise.
It was a big part of the stunning June 6 agreement in which the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, the PGA Tour and the European tour became partners in a new for-profit company for commercial businesses.
The PGA Tour sent a notice to players, which was obtained by The Associated Press, that said, “Pursuant to the Framework Agreement announced last week, documents have now been filed with the court bringing a formal end to all pending litigation between the PGA Tour, PIF and LIV Golf.”
The Wall Street Journal has reported that tour executives told the staff legal fees were closing in on $50 million. As part of the motion, all sides are responsible for their legal fees.
Along with ending the antitrust complaints against each other, the motion asks for dismissal of an appeal involving whether the PIF and its governor, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, would have to provide testimony.
The PIF and Al-Rumayyan were trying to claim an exemption from the Foreign Service Immunity Act. A federal magistrate had ruled they were not exempt because of the PIF’s involvement in the commercial enterprise of LIV Golf.
All requests were to dismiss with prejudice, meaning neither side’s lawsuit can be reopened.
Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau were among 11 players who sued the PGA Tour in early August when they were suspended for defecting to LIV Golf. The rival league paid signing fees of $100 million or more, in addition to the $25 million in prize money for 48-man fields with guaranteed money at every tournament.
The lawsuit claimed the PGA Tour has used monopoly power to try to squash competition. The PGA Tour won an early court decision when a federal judge denied a temporary restraining order that would have let three LIV Golf players to compete in the tour’s postseason.
LIV Golf joined the lawsuit and eventually all 11 players pulled out of the lawsuit.
The PGA Tour filed a countersuit in September accusing LIV of “tortious interference” by inducing top players to breach contracts by claiming the tour could not enforce its rules.
Any jury trial was not expected until the middle of 2024 at the earliest as both sides wrangled over discovery issues.
But the case is not done yet. The New York Times earlier on Friday filed a motion to intervene, asking the court to unseal documents. The Times says the public’s right to the information outweighs the tour and LIV Golf’s claims certain documents could cause “competitive harm.”
That request is to be heard on Aug. 3.
Also, the Justice Department has begun to examine the agreement between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf’s Saudi backers to determine whether it violates federal antitrust statutes. The agreement contained few details on how the new company will operate and what becomes of LIV Golf, which is in its second season.

DC to pull new crime law; impact on Senate vote unclear
By ASHRAF KHALIL, Associated Press
Updated
WASHINGTON (AP) — The head of the D.C. Council said Monday he is withdrawing the capital city’s new criminal code from consideration, just before a U.S. Senate vote that seemed likely to overturn the measure. But it's unclear if the action will prevent the vote or spare President Joe Biden a politically charged decision on whether to endorse the congressional action.

Council Chairman Phil Mendelson announced the withdrawal Monday morning, a rare move that he said wasn’t prohibited under Washington’s Home Rule authority.
“If Republicans choose to go ahead with a hollow vote, that’s their choice,” Mendelson said.
Congress reviews all newly passed D.C. laws under the Home Rule arrangement, and frequently alters or limits them through budget riders. But the criminal code rewrite seemed set to be the first law in decades to be completely overturned. The measure to reject the law passed the House and seemed set to pass the Senate. Biden said last week he would not veto it.

But it's not clear if Mendelson's announcement would deter the Senate from voting on the measure to overturn the law or affect Biden's commitment to sign the measure.
Biden supports D.C. statehood and generally objects to Congress overturning the laws of the city’s elected officials. But he was under pressure not to veto the congressional action at a time of rising crime both in the nation’s capital and across the U.S. — issues being highlighted by Republicans in the run-up to next year’s presidential election.
A Senate leadership aide said they expected the vote to proceed despite the announcement of the withdrawal. The aide said the vote would be on the House disapproval resolution, rather than the DC Council’s transmission to the Senate. The aide spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss plans that were not yet official.

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Thousands of people in the Philippines remained in emergency shelters in the wake of devastating Christmas flooding, as the death toll climbed to 51 with 19 missing, authorities said Monday.
Images showed residents in southern Misamis Occidental province sweeping away thick mud from the floors of their homes. In the seaside village of Cabol-anonan, coconut trees were uprooted and huts made of light material were nearly flattened.
The Northern Mindanao region bore the brunt of the disaster, reporting 25 deaths, according to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council. Most of the deaths were from drowning and landslides, and among the missing were fishermen whose boats capsized.
Floods have subsided in most parts, but more than 8,600 people were still in shelters.
Over 4,500 houses were damaged by the floods, along with roads and bridges, and some areas still struggle with disrupted power and water supply, the disaster management agency said.
Ivy Amor Amparo, a hospital worker from Ginoog city in Misamis Oriental province, said that the seaside home of her parents and siblings was damaged by big waves and uprooted trees. Rescuers ferried the mother of two and her relatives in a truck to a nearby shelter, where they spent the Christmas weekend.
She said her father bought materials using the 5,000 pesos ($90) cash aid from the local government to build a temporary shelter for the household, whose seven members are now miserably cramped in the small living room of the damaged house.
“Their things are still with the neighbor and some in our house,” Amparo told The Associated Press in a phone interview. “When they need to take a bath at the community water pump, they have to get their clothes from the neighbor’s house.”
Officials said the government sent food and other essentials, deployed heavy equipment for clearing operations, and provided iron sheets and shelter repair kits. Teams from the capital Manila were sent to assist communities with limited clean water in setting up water filtration systems.
At least 22 cities and municipalities have declared a state of calamity. The move will allow the release of emergency funds and hasten rehabilitation efforts.
A shear line — the point where warm and cold air meet — triggered heavy rains in parts of the country last week, causing the floods, the state weather bureau said. | https://pix11.com/ap-international/ap-floods-in-philippines-leave-51-dead-over-a-dozen-missing/ | 2023-01-02 18:02:40 | 0 | https://pix11.com/ap-international/ap-floods-in-philippines-leave-51-dead-over-a-dozen-missing/ |
Pictures: Extreme Makeover Coming to Boston’s Fenway Park Area
Extreme Makeover time for the iconic Lansdowne Street and Fenway Park area. No, the television reality series on ABC isn’t a part of this but wow they could be with what’s about to happen so are you ready? If you’re like me you’re feeling a bit of pit in your stomach because while change and development are part of life and forward momentum, touching anything around Fenway Park feels blasphemous.
It is what it is though so here we go according to Boston.com. It’s called Fenway Corners and for the moment Boston.com is addressing our concerns saying that those of us Fenway-fundamentalists need not worry because the Boston builder WS Development promised to preserve the neighborhood’s “grit and grain” as they referred to it. Phew! I’m going to trust. I mean a more modern, up to date area area mixed with that grit sounds like a lot of fun, and necessary to bring a fresh vibrancy to the area. And let's be honest, we know it's going to happen at some point.
Fenway Corners is nearly five-and-a-half acres. So basically four blocks surround Fenway Park with the largest of the lots on the corner of the Jersey Street block which I will still call Yawkey Way like so many of us do. Anyway, the plans are still in the works and literally include air rights above the Mass Pike. According to Boston.com when it’s all said and done there will be two million gross feet of office, retail, and residential space spread out over 13 parcels of land and air space. The project plans also include and amphitheater and public roof deck to create a year-round pedestrian plaza.
Okay now to the big question, when will construction start and how long will this take. Well, since the Boston area is now stranger to construction hopefully this five to seven year project scheduled to start in 2024 won’t throw Bostonians off to much. According to Boston.com, WS Development is the same company that built the 7.6 million square foot Seaport District project that is the single largest active development in Boston’s history.

DOHA, Qatar (AP) — The sale of all beer with alcohol at the eight World Cup stadiums was banned Friday, only two days before the soccer tournament is set to start.
Non-alcoholic beer will still be sold at the 64 matches in the country.
“Following discussions between host country authorities and FIFA, a decision has been made to focus the sale of alcoholic beverages on the FIFA Fan Festival, other fan destinations and licensed venues, removing sales points of beer from … stadium perimeters,” FIFA said in a statement.
Champagne, wine, whiskey and other alcohol is still expected to be served in the luxury hospitality areas of the stadiums. Outside of those places, beer is normally the only alcohol sold to regular ticket holders.
Ab InBev, the parent company of World Cup beer sponsor Budweiser, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
AB InBev pays tens of millions of dollars at each World Cup for exclusive rights to sell beer and has already shipped the majority of its stock from Britain to Qatar in expectation of selling its product to millions of fans. The company’s partnership with FIFA started at the 1986 tournament and they are in negotiations for renewing their deal for the next World Cup in North America.
While a sudden decision like this may seem extreme in the West, Qatar is an autocracy governed by a hereditary emir, who has absolute say over all governmental decisions.
Qatar, an energy-rich Gulf Arab country, follows an ultraconservative form of Islam known as Wahhabism like neighboring Saudi Arabia. However, alcohol sales have been permitted in hotel bars for years.
Qatar’s government and its Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy did not immediately respond to request for comment.
Already, the tournament has seen Qatar change the date of the opening match only weeks before the World Cup began.
When Qatar launched its bid to host the World Cup, the country agreed to FIFA’s requirements of selling alcohol in stadiums, and again when signing contracts after winning the vote in 2010.
At the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the host country was forced to change a law to allow alcohol sales in stadiums.
Ronan Evain, the executive director of the fan group Football Supporters Europe, called the decision to ban beer sales at the stadiums in Qatar “extremely worrying.”
“For many fans, whether they don’t drink alcohol or are used to dry stadium policies at home, this is a detail. It won’t change their tournament,” Evain wrote on Twitter. “But with 48 (hours) to go, we’ve clearly entered a dangerous territory — where ‘assurances’ don’t matter anymore.”
AB InBev’s deal with FIFA was renewed in 2011 — after Qatar was picked as host — in a two-tournament package through 2022. However, the Belgium-based brewer has faced uncertainty in recent months on the exact details of where it can serve and sell beer in Qatar.
An agreement was announced in September for beer with alcohol to be sold within the stadium perimeters before and after games. Only alcohol-free Bud Zero would be sold in the stadium concourses for fans to drink in their seats in branded cups.
Last weekend, AB InBev was left surprised by a new policy insisted on by Qatari organizers to move beer stalls to less visible locations within the perimeter.
Budweiser was also to be sold in the evenings only at the official FIFA fan zone in downtown Al Bidda Park, where up to 40,000 fans can gather to watch games on giant screens. The price was confirmed as $14 for a beer.
The company will be based at an upscale hotel in the West Bay area of Doha with its own branded nightclub for the tournament.
At the W Hotel in Doha, workers continued putting together a Budweiser-themed bar planned at the site. Its familiar AB logo was plastered on columns and walls at the hotel, with one reading: “The World Is Yours To Take.”

The White House said the Inflation Reduction Act would lower costs for families and businesses, lower energy costs and boost domestic manufacturing. Biden held a virtual meeting with attendees, as he is isolating while positive for COVID-19.
The 10-year measure includes hundreds of billions in spending and tax breaks to encourage alternative energy production and to bolster fossil fuels with steps like tax breaks for technology that reduces carbon emissions.
There’s also money to help people buy private health coverage and provisions giving Medicare the power to negotiate prices on some drugs with pharmaceutical makers.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin is breathing on his own and able to talk after having his breathing tube removed, his agent said Friday — the latest step in his remarkable recovery in the four days since going into cardiac arrest and being resuscitated on the field during a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Hamlin even joined the Bills’ team meeting on Friday morning via videoconference, and told them “love you boys.”
“I probably won’t be able to do it justice,” Bills coach Sean McDermott said Friday, “but just to see Damar, No. 1, through my own eyes, it was something I was hoping to see and kind of something I needed to see … and to see the players’ reaction, they stood up right away and started clapping for him and yelling some things.”
McDermott said he kept it a secret from the team before announcing he had “a treat in store” for them — putting Hamlin on the big screen in the meeting room.
“He’s just an infectious young man with an infectious personality, McDermott said.
The 24-year-old Hamlin was still listed Thursday in critical condition in the intensive care unit of the University of Cincinnati Medical Center. Aside from being able to communicate by writing, Hamlin was also been able to grip people’s hands.
In a Friday statement, the team said Hamlin’s “neurologic function remains intact and he has been able to talk to his family and care team.” Agent Ira Turner was unable to provide any other details in a text to The Associated Press. The development was first reported by The Athletic.
“So we know that it’s not only that the lights are on. We know that he’s home. And it appears that all the cylinders are firing within his brain, which is greatly gratifying for all of us,” Dr. Timothy Pritts said. “He still has significant progress he needs to make, but this marks a really good turning point in his ongoing care.”
Hamlin’s recovery continues to trend in a positive direction after his heart stopped while making what appeared to be a routine tackle in the first quarter of a game against the Bengals on Monday night. The second-year player spent his first two days in the hospital under sedation to allow his body to recover, and on a ventilator to assist his breathing.
The Bills were uplifted by the encouraging medical reports as they returned to practice Thursday in preparation to play a home game against the New England Patriots on Sunday.
The sight of Hamlin collapsing, which was broadcast to a North American TV audience on ESPN’s “Monday Night Football,” has led to an outpouring of support from fans and players from across the league. Fans, team owners and players — including Tom Brady and Russell Wilson — have made donations to Hamlin’s Chasing M’s Foundation, which had raised more than $7.8 million by Friday morning. | https://www.kron4.com/news/national/bills-damar-hamlin-is-breathing-on-his-own-agent-says/ | 2023-01-06 16:42:10 | 1 | https://www.kron4.com/news/national/bills-damar-hamlin-is-breathing-on-his-own-agent-says/ |
EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – The video shot from behind a glass window shows four armed men dragging bodies on the payment to a white pickup with the back gate open.
“They are dragging one of them. They’re (expletive deleted),” a man says behind the camera. “That one is already dead.”
“They are going to toss them as if they were pigs,” says a second male voice.
Motorists in the clip widely shared on social media can be seen patiently waiting on one side of the pickup. Vehicles roll on slowly along the other side of the truck.
The video purporting to show the aftermath of an attack on four American citizens abducted Friday in Matamoros evidences the impunity with which Mexican drug cartels operate, U.S. security experts say.
“The fact that they’re taking their time – they’re not really rushing to get the bodies on the truck – is because they know that the police are not engaging them,” said Michael Ballard, director of intelligence for the international security firm Global Guardian, “and if they do, it’s going to be a while because a Mexican patrolman just with his partner and a sidearm is not going to confront guys with body armor and AK-47s and grenades and all that.”
Friday’s tragedy in Matamoros that claimed the lives of two Americans and left another two hospitalized speaks to an impunity bought with fear and corruption in which Mexican drug cartels operate, Ballard said.
“If you’re a bystander driving around, maybe on the way to the bank or what have you, you’re not going to stop. You’re not going to jump up and help these folks that are surrounded by gunmen,” he said. “It is a real culture of fear in Mexico where even journalists get killed at a high rate because the cartels are pretty potent when it comes to trying to silence people.”
This high-profile act of violence against U.S. citizens in Matamoros, a city across the border from Brownsville, Texas, said to be a battleground between warring factions of the Gulf cartel comes days before most public schools in Texas go on spring break.
Some local officials in Mexico told Border Report they fear the incident will have economic repercussions all along the border.
“It is regrettable that these things are still happening in Mexico. This should set off alarms in border areas because we’re in a season where a lot of residents visit our country, not only for spring break but also for Holy Week,” said Juarez City Council member Enrique Torres Valadez. “It’s bad whenever the U.S. decides to issue travel alerts. It hurts business that cater to U.S. customers.”
Ballard said such fears are justified.
“This type of violence, although it typically does not impact civilians and certainly is pretty rare against Americans, can happen at almost any place at any time,” he said. “You run the risk of getting caught in a crossfire – either cartels against rivals or cartels engaging in a shoot out with security forces. Cities with ports of entry are highly contested places by groups looking to get their drugs into the U.S. and cash and guns back to Mexico.”
Ballard does not discourage people from traveling to the U.S.-Mexico border for spring break, but urges them to stay on the American side this time.
“Border cities certainly are more dangerous than Cancun, Puerto Vallarta or Los Cabos. If you’re going to Mexico for spring break, maybe pick one of those locations instead of Tijuana or Matamoros. If you’re going to the border, stay on the U.S. side The violence occurs on the Mexican side because law enforcement is not as effective or perhaps you have more corruption.”
Security firms have long advised their American clients who must travel to Mexico on business to observe common sense, such as:
- Do not travel alone
- Tell a friend or associate when you leave and when you arrive at your destination; ask him or her to periodically check in on you over the phone.
- Don’t walk with your head “buried in your cell phone.”
- Be aware of recent news in the city you will be traveling to, especially if there has been recent violence.
- Identify “safe harbors” you can run to in case of an emergency. | https://cw33.com/news/spring-breakers-urged-to-avoid-mexican-border/ | 2023-03-08 17:57:57 | 0 | https://cw33.com/news/spring-breakers-urged-to-avoid-mexican-border/ |

Brian Walshe is 'calculated guy' who 'lacks empathy,' art scam victim says
The husband of Ana Walshe, missing Cohasset executive, allegedly misled investigators after her disappearance
COHASSET, Mass. — Brian Walshe, charged with misleading investigators during their search for his missing wife Ana Walshe, is a "calculated guy" who "lacks empathy," the victim of Walshe's federal art scam said.
Ron Rivlin, who owns the Los Angeles-based Revolver Warhol Gallery, bought what turned out to be two fake 1978 Andy Warhol paintings from Brian Walshe for $80,000 in 2016, according to court records.
Rivlin said Walshe tried to evade him, impeded law enforcement's investigation and worked the system for years until he finally pleaded guilty in April 2021.
"He’s a calculated guy," Rivlin told Fox News Digital. "He lacks basic empathy. What happened to me is telling of Brian's masterful ability to coerce people. Myself, the FBI and the DA had trouble breaking him down and getting him to change his not guilty plea, apologize, pay restitution and get sentenced."
BRIAN AND ANA'S LANDLORD SAID THEY ‘SEEMED LIKE REGULAR PEOPLE’
When Rivlin and his assistant first met Brian Walshe, he was "charismatic, articulate and professional," Rivlin said.
"I bought over a thousand Warhols, and this is the one and only acquisition that got by me. He was that good," Rivlin said.
But Brian Walshe's demeanor changed after he delivered the fake paintings to Rivlin's assistant.
The 47-year-old Cohasset, Massachusetts, man became "unreachable" when Rivlin tried to get his money back until Rivlin spoke to Ana Walshe and, later, the FBI.
"He would only cooperate when he was forced to," Rivlin said. "He's very tactful in how he plays the legal system. It’s been over six years, and he’s avoided sentencing this long."
Brian Walshe was in handcuffs again this week after he was arrested Sunday and charged with misleading investigators while they were searching for his wife, who mysteriously went missing New Year's Day.
The 39-year-old mother of three wasn't reported missing until Jan. 4, after she didn't show up to her job at the Washington, D.C.-based real estate firm Tishman Speyer.
"It’s incredibly sad to learn that Ana is missing," Rivlin said. "As a parent of young children, I’m having a hard time processing this and hope that she is found and reunited with her family.
"In the immediate aftermath of the transaction, she seemed shocked and pressured Brian to call me. They were newlyweds at the time, and I got a sense from speaking with her that she wasn’t in on the crime."
MISSING COHASSET WOMAN: TIMELINE OF ANA WALSHE'S MOVEMENTS BEFORE DISAPPEARANCE
Ana Walshe is still missing, and police found blood in the basement of the Walshes' Cohasset home, as well as a broken knife.
The search led law enforcement to a Swampscott waste facility about an hour away from their home, where investigators reportedly found trash bags with blood, a hatchet and a hacksaw, sources told WBZ-TV.
The local TV station reported that investigators wearing protective suits and police officers with dogs were spotted searching the facility Monday.
ANA WALSHE'S HUSBAND BRIAN WALSHE IS A 'SOCIOPATH' AND 'PHYSICALLY VIOLENT:' COURT DOCS
The Norfolk District Attorney's Office issued a statement Tuesday about evidence that had been collected.
"Search activity conducted north of Boston yesterday resulted in a number of items being collected, which will now be subject to processing and testing to determine if they are of evidentiary value to this investigation," the Norfolk DA's Office said.
A spokesman for the prosecutor's office, David Traub, would not confirm the items obtained from the trash or disclose the location where they were found.
Brian Walshe pleaded not guilty at Monday's arraignment and is being held on $500,000 bond.

His attorney, Tracy Miner, isn't commenting on the case.
"I am not doing press interviews or even responding to inquiries, as right now my focus is on defending my client in court," she told Fox News on Monday. | https://www.foxnews.com/us/brian-walshe-calculated-guy-who-lacks-empathy-art-scam-victim-says | 2023-01-11 16:30:42 | 1 | https://www.foxnews.com/us/brian-walshe-calculated-guy-who-lacks-empathy-art-scam-victim-says |
BEIJING, April 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. (NASDAQ: WIMI) ("WiMi" or the "Company"), a leading global Hologram Augmented Reality ("AR") Technology provider, today announced the development of the WIMI Digital Holographic Microscope System to solve the problems of phase information acquisition difficulties, zero-order image, and conjugate image interference in optical technology. The system uses coherent optical imaging theory combined with digital holography and will be applied to the 3D surface shape detection of micro/nano components.
The system uses a digital holographic angular spectrum reconstruction algorithm that allows the bit-phase distribution of surface scratches on optical components to be obtained and the entire area to be detected using scanning and stitching techniques. Based on the system device, a 3D precision scanning element is added to measure the surface scratches and stitch them into the whole holographic stereo image so that the system can image the complete 3D morphology of the object's detection area.
A charge-coupled device is used to replace the traditional holographic recording, the angle algorithm is used to simulate the diffraction process of the optics, and the numerical simulation is performed to reproduce the wavefront surface distribution of the light field of the original object so that the whole process of holographic recording, storage, transmission, and reproduction can be digitized to achieve the micro/nano precision requirements, with the advantages of the full field of view, non-contact and non-destructive.
The system uses holography to produce real-time, high-resolution, 3D digital images. The holographic image is produced by the interference of reference light with the object's light, which is then recorded by a holographic camera and transmitted to a computer for real-time digital reconstruction. In this process, a hologram is captured and reconstructed in just a few microseconds. The resulting target hologram is then analyzed by the system's dedicated data acquisition and analysis software to generate the following:
Light intensity map: provides images with the same contrast as a conventional microscope.
Phase diagram: provides quantified values for accurate 3D measurement of the object under test.
With reflective digital holography, the phase diagram reveals the object's surface light intensity map topography under test with sub-nanometer precision. In transmissive digital holography, the phase diagram shows the phase shift information of the transparent sample under test, and these values provide essential quantitative information for primarily biological samples. This diverse approach to digital holography provides increased precision for video and computational microscopy image levels. However, WiMi will also adjust various optical parameters in the optical microscope, including optical phase contrast, digital image focusing, image tilt adjustment, and elimination of environmental perturbations.
WiMi's Digital Holographic Microscope System provides a full-field-of-view, non-destructive, and rapid quantitative inspection method for 3D surface shape inspection of micro-optical components. Later, through further analysis of data accuracy and experimental study of multiple samples, this system is expected to be used for pre-processing, optimization, and subsequent quality assessment of micro/nano components.

Further details on the Recapitalization Transaction can be found in the Company's information circular dated August 14, 2020 (a copy of which is available under the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com) and other documents filed by the Company on SEDAR, including the Plan of Arrangement filed on October 7, 2020.
All of the Company's existing warrants and options have been cancelled as of the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction.
Following the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Common Shares may be consolidated pursuant to a consolidation ratio which has yet to be determined, subject to applicable corporate approval and applicable filings with the Canadian Securities Exchange.
Restructured Secured and Unsecured Debt
As of the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Secured Debentures (plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees), and the interim financing secured notes due July 13, 2025 (plus accrued interest) issued to certain of the Secured Lenders in connection with the entry into of the Restructuring Support Agreement, were forgiven in part and exchanged in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Arrangement for: (i) the Secured Lender Shares; (ii) 8% senior secured debentures in the aggregate principal amount of $99,736,842, due June 24, 2027, issued by iAnthus SubCo and guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries ("New Secured Notes"); and (iii) 8% unsecured debentures due June 24, 2027, issued by iAnthus SubCo and guaranteed by the Company (the "New Unsecured Notes") in the aggregate principal amount equal to $5,000,000.
As of the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, the Unsecured Debentures (plus accrued and unpaid interest and fees) were also forgiven in part and exchanged in accordance with the terms of the Plan of Arrangement for: (i) the Unsecured Debentureholders Shares; and (ii) New Unsecured Notes in the aggregate principal amount equal to $15,000,000.
Interest accrued under both the New Secured Notes and New Unsecured Notes shall be paid in kind.
$25,000,000 Additional Financing
Following the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction, certain of the Secured Lenders and Consenting Unsecured Debentureholders acquired 8% senior secured debentures in the aggregate principal amount equal to $25,000,000, due June 24, 2027 by iAnthus SubCo and guaranteed by the Company and its subsidiaries (the "Additional Secured Notes"). Interest accrued under the Additional Secured Notes shall be paid in kind. The proceeds from the issuance of the Additional Secured Notes will be used by the Company for working capital and general corporate purposes, and for costs and expenses relating to the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction.
Certain of the purchasers of the Additional Secured Notes may be considered "related parties" as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). Accordingly, the issuance of the Additional Secured Notes may be a "related party transaction" as defined in MI 61-101. The Company is relying on the exemption from the formal valuation requirement at Section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 (Issuer Not Listed on Specified Markets) and the exemption from minority approval requirement at Section 5.7(1)(f) of MI 61-101 (Loan to Issuer, No Equity or Voting Component) in respect of the issuance of the Additional Secured Notes. The Company did not file a material change report 21 days prior to the expected closing of the Additional Secured Notes as the structure of the transaction and details of the participation of such purchasers had not been confirmed at that time. Due to the Company's liquidity constraints, the Company believes it is reasonable and necessary in the circumstances to complete the closing of the Additional Secured Notes within the available financing windows.
Changes to the Board of Directors (the "Board")
Michael Muldowney and Diane Ellis have resigned from the Board, effective June 24, 2022. Both Mr. Muldowney and Ms. Ellis joined the Company on December 5, 2019 as part of the formation of the Company's independent Board. "Speaking on behalf of the entire iAnthus team, we have been very fortunate to have both Michael and Diane on the Board for the last two and a half years. Both Michael and Diane brought to the Board extensive professional experience and unique, strategic perspectives that helped guide iAnthus through a complicated Recapitalization Transaction," said Robert Galvin, Interim Chief Executive Officer and a Director. "We thank Michael and Diane for their valuable contributions." As contemplated in connection with the Recapitalization Transaction, Mr. Galvin has also resigned from the Board effective June 24, 2022 but continues as Interim Chief Executive Officer.
Immediately prior to closing the Recapitalization Transaction the Board was comprised of eight seats with five casual vacancies. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan of Arrangement, the Secured Lenders have the right to nominate three directors to the Board and the Consenting Unsecured Debentureholders have the right to collectively appoint three directors to the Board, which rights continue in accordance with the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement described below.
The Secured Lenders nominated two of their three nominees to the Board, being Scott Cohen and Michelle (Mich) Mathews-Spradlin, and will nominate a third director after closing, subject to regulatory approval where required. The Consenting Unsecured Debentureholders nominated all three of their director nominees being: Zachary (Zach) Arrick, Alexander Shoghi and Marco D'Attanasio. These nominees will serve as directors of iAnthus until the next annual general meeting or until their successors are duly elected or appointed. Once a permanent chief executive officer is selected by the Company, such individual (and any successor thereto) shall also be nominated as a director in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement.
The biographies of the five current members of the Board are set out below:

Annual General Meeting
The Company has called its annual general meetings (each an "AGM" and collectively, the "AGMs") of shareholders for the fiscal years 2019, 2020 and 2021 (being the 2020 AGM, the 2021 AGM and the 2022 AGM respectively) for shareholders of record on July 5, 2022, to be held concurrently on August 11, 2022, in Toronto, Ontario. The Company will post on SEDAR and mail shareholder meeting materials, including a form of proxy, to shareholders in due course and invites all shareholders to attend.
Petition Seeking Annual General Meeting
Michael Weisser ("Weisser") commenced a petition in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, Vancouver Registry, under Court File No. S-224955 against iAnthus and its board of directors on June 20, 2022 (the "Petition"). In the Petition, Weisser seeks, among other things, an order that the Company hold its 2020 AGM on or before June 30, 2022, or alternatively on a date set by the court as soon as reasonably possible thereafter. In the Petition, Weisser alleges he became a shareholder of the Company in approximately June 2021 (almost one year after the Company entered into the RSA), exercising control or direction, together with supporting shareholders, over approximately 5% of the shares of the Company. On June 22, 2022 Weisser was granted short leave, permitting a return date for the Petition on June 28, 2022. The Company will respond to the Petition. The Recapitalization Transaction has now closed and the Company has noticed the AGMs; accordingly, Weisser's petition is moot.
Long-Term Incentive Program
On January 7, 2022, the Company announced the terms of a long-term incentive program ("LTIP") recommended by the compensation committee of the Board and, pursuant to which, the Company will allocate to certain employees of the Company and its subsidiaries (including executive officers) restricted stock units and option awards under the Amended and Restated Omnibus Incentive Plan dated October 15, 2018 in order to attract and retain such employees. The awards will represent up to, in the aggregate, 5.75% of the fully-diluted equity of the Company after taking into account the issuance of the Common Shares under the Recapitalization Transaction described above. The allocations were contingent on the closing of the Recapitalization Transaction and, subject to approval of the Canadian Securities Exchange and the Board, the Company intends to issue such restricted stock units and stock options within ten days. The LTIP covers approximately 250 employees of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Additional Agreements
In connection with the issuance of the New Secured Notes and the Additional Secured Notes, the Company and its subsidiaries (including iAnthus Subco) entered into the Third Amended and Restated Secured Purchase Agreement with the Secured Lenders and Consenting Unsecured Debentureholders, and in connection with the issuance of the New Unsecured Notes, the Company and iAnthus Subco entered into an Unsecured Debenture Agreement with the Secured Lenders and Consenting Unsecured Debentureholders, copies of which will be filed by the Company on SEDAR.
In connection with the Restructuring Transaction, the Company and certain of the Secured Lenders and Consenting Unsecured Debentureholders entered into a customary Investor Rights Agreement and a customary Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which will be filed by the Company on SEDAR.

A jury on Tuesday is scheduled to hear closing arguments in the trial of Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, the former Theranos official charged with teaming up with his secret lover, CEO Elizabeth Holmes, to carry out a massive fraud.
The three months of testimony and evidence mirrored the case against Holmes in a separate trial last year. Holmes was convicted on four counts of defrauding investors and acquitted on four counts alleging she had also deceived patients who submitted to Theranos blood tests. She is free on $500,000 bail but faces a potential prison sentence of up to 20 years. Balwani faces the same punishment if convicted.
Holmes, 38, is awaiting sentencing in September.
Lawyers for Balwani, 57, have depicted him as a well-intentioned investor and entrepreneur who became Theranos’ chief operating officer in 2010 and then was swept into the scam by Holmes. She later dumped him as her lover and business partner in 2016 as Theranos began to unravel.
Before that fissure, Balwani put up $15 million of his own money to help bolster Theranos when Holmes brought him on board as her top lieutenant while they were clandestinely living together. Balwani’s Theranos investment eventually became worth about $500 million on paper — a stake that his lawyers told jurors he never sold. It became worthless when the company collapsed.
Prosecutors, meanwhile, have portrayed Balwani as a ruthless accomplice who helped Holmes swindle investors. At one point, they charged, Balwani oversaw the Theranos lab that covered up serious flaws in a the company’s blood-testing technology thatcould have jeopardized the lives of patients.
Holmes’ bold claims for Theranos helped make her a Silicon Valley star — a rich one, too, with a paper fortune of $4.5 billion based on the company’s success in fundraising and brokering business deals based on Holmes’ promise that Theranos would revolutionize health care. Holmes boasted the company had developed a technology that could scan for more than 200 potential health problems with a few drops of blood taken with a finger prick.
Balwani began dating Holmes around the same time she started Theranos, and then began providing her business advice drawn from his previous success that included selling a technology startup that made him rich. Their relationship was a focal point of a Hulu TV series, “The Dropout,” about Holmes’ rise and fall that was released shortly before the trial began, complicating efforts to pick an unbiased jury.
During her trial, Holmes took the witness stand and at one point tearfully accused Balwani of being a domineering figure in her life who subjected her to emotional and sexual abuse. One of Balwani’s other attorneys vehemently denied those allegations during Holmes’ trial. Balwani’s lawyers have urged jurors in the current trial to discard anything they may have previously read or heard of Holmes’ allegations.
There had been speculation that that Holmes might return to court to testify against Balwani during his trial, but it never happened. Unlike Holmes, Balwani opted against testifying in his own defense during his trial. | https://pix11.com/ap-technology/trial-of-elizabeth-holmes-partner-ex-lover-nears-climax/ | 2022-06-21 14:33:01 | 1 | https://pix11.com/ap-technology/trial-of-elizabeth-holmes-partner-ex-lover-nears-climax/ |
Victor Hedman scored with 6:41 remaining Thursday night, and the Bruins went on to lose to the Lightning, 3-2, at Amalie Arena in Tampa.
In a game Tampa Bay netminder Andrei Vasilevskiy was threatening to steal, the Bruins tied the Lightning late in the second period and went into the final 20 minutes knotted at 1.
In a four-on-four situation, the Bruins executed a clean line change while keeping possession high in the offensive zone. Charlie McAvoy and David Pastrnak jumped off. Connor Clifton and Brad Marchand jumped on.
Clifton drew Hedman out high and beat the defenseman’s check with a backhand slip to Marchand. The winger, streaking off the bench, had Steven Stamkos in front of him, not the 6-foot-6-inch, 240-pound Hedman. Marchand fired an icebound dart through a Stamkos screen that beat Vasilevskiy to the far corner of the net.

Tie game, at 16:58 of the second, and a tense final period ahead.
Before that, it was Vasilevskiy outdueling Linus Ullmark, who was counted on for a little less than his counterpart. The Lightning ace made 26 saves through 40 minutes, including a Pavel Zacha break-in, a David Krejci chance off a turnover, a blocker denial of a Patrice Bergeron one-timer, and Matt Grzelcyk’s walk-in chances from the left and right wings.
Ullmark (19 saves through two periods) was excellent, too, making a left pad stop on a Brayden Point break-in, a shorthanded Stamkos one-timer from the slot, and early in the first, a robbery of Anthony Cirelli from between the hashes.
The Bruins went down at 10:42 of the first period after Marchand’s high-sticking penalty. It was easy to diagnose the issue: The Bruins’ high-pressure penalty kill saw Brandon Carlo and Derek Forbort bunch together near Point and Nikita Kucherov. That left winger Brandon Hagel in front for a tuck.

Emotions ran high in the first after veteran agitator Corey Perry threw an elbow to the face of Clifton, as the Bruins defenseman was spinning from a Zach Bogosian hit. Clifton cross-checked Perry from behind, and when the two dropped the gloves, Clifton pounded a player some 4 inches and 20 pounds larger, and 10 years his senior. | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/01/26/sports/bruins-lose-back-and-forth-game-lightning-tampa/ | 2023-01-27 02:56:23 | 1 | https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/01/26/sports/bruins-lose-back-and-forth-game-lightning-tampa/ |
Manchin shrugs off Sanders’ climate rebuke as Dems make peace with health care-only bill
Posted/updated on: July 18, 2022 at 6:36 pm(WASHINGTON) -- With Joe Manchin's stamp of approval in the closely divided Senate, President Joe Biden and Democratic Party leaders are ready for the chamber to move forward before the next recess on a slimmed-down spending bill that focuses on health care. But not all Senate Democrats feel the same.
One day after Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., castigated West Virginia's Sen. Manchin for rejecting the Democratic package on climate and taxes -- saying he was sabotaging "future generations" -- Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden said he wants to keep a path open for adding climate policies into the upcoming reconciliation package, including those put on ice by Manchin.
"Conversations on clean energy must continue to preserve our options to move forward," Wyden, of Oregon, said in a statement on Monday. "While I strongly support additional executive action by President Biden, we know a flood of Republican lawsuits will follow. Legislation continues to be the best option here. The climate crisis is the issue of our time and we should keep our options open.”
Wyden stopped short of threatening to revoke support for a health care-only bill and no other Senate Democrat appears to have drawn such a red line. But progress requires consensus in the 50-50 chamber, given GOP opposition: Democrats intend to pass their reconciliation bill using a fast-track budget tool that needs only a simple majority.
Manchin has agreed to allow Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices, potentially saving the federal government $288 billion and bringing down costs for seniors, in addition to a two-year extension of pandemic-era premium subsidies for lower-income Americans enrolled in the Affordable Care Act.
But, citing concerns about historically high inflation, Manchin last week pumped the breaks on climate proposals in the Democratic legislation. He said then that he needed to see July's inflation data before he could determine how to proceed on the climate component.
As for Sanders' criticism that he was "intentionally sabotaging the president’s agenda," Manchin was asked Monday to respond and said: "I've been at this a long time. People say things some times they might not mean, and I don't take it personally."
Democratic Whip Dick Durbin, of Illinois, said Monday that he can "live with" moving forward on a bill focused only on health care if that's the best that Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, of New York, can achieve in discussions with Manchin.
"My major frustration is I think Joe should have made his position clear a hell of a long time ago," Durbin said, echoing Sanders' criticism Sunday that "the problem was that we continue to talk to Manchin like he was serious. He was not."
"If they do prescription drugs, give them credit, that's a good issue," Durbin said Monday. "But we've spent a lot of time wasted in negotiation."
Other Democrats also signaled Monday that they're prepared to swallow a package that excludes climate and spending.
"We have a 50-50 Senate. It is what it is," Sen. Mazie Hirono of Hawaii said. "Any improvement to me is something to be considered."
It's unlikely Republicans would pick up the slack for Democratic defectors. In floor remarks Monday, Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell called the health care-focused plan "reckless."
"Washington Democrats are working right now to find a way to put more bureaucracy between American patients and the treatments they rely on. They want to put socialist price controls between American innovators and new cures for debilitating diseases," McConnell said Monday. "With one-party Democratic control of government they just might get away with it, but our colleagues need to think again."
Manchin: 'I haven't walked away'
Manchin, in conversation with reporters on Monday, insisted he was continuing to negotiate on climate and other provisions. He was firm on waiting for the July inflation numbers before proceeding.
"I haven't walked away from anything, and inflation is my greatest concern," he said. "I don't know what tomorrow brings."
But Democrats are running out of time and know that after the monthlong August recess they must return with a focus on funding the government by Oct. 1, nearly always a fraught process. November's midterm elections come soon after that.
And with both health care premiums in many states set in August and pandemic-era ACA subsidies set to expire by year's end, Democrats could be facing angry voters if costs skyrocket -- amid the pain of inflation -- ahead of the midterms where control of Congress is at stake.
On Friday, Biden backed moving forward with a health care bill while promising executive action on climate.
"After decades of fierce opposition from powerful special interests, Democrats have come together, beaten back the pharmaceutical industry and are prepared to give Medicare the power to negotiate lower drug prices and to prevent an increase in health insurance premiums for millions of families with coverage under the Affordable Care Act," the president said. "Families all over the nation will sleep easier if Congress takes this action."

What better way to honor Taylor Swift than to use cryptic references like the singer-songwriter does with seemingly every album, song and video release?
Sportsnets’ Faizal Khamisa is clearly a Swift stan because he challenged her at her own game during his morning broadcast on Saturday, Oct. 22.
The anchor challenged himself to reference all 13 songs on Taylor’s new album “Midnights” during his broadcast – and what do you know, he did it!
For instance, one thing Khamisa said in his spiel was, "Alex Bregman was once baseball's 'Anti-Hero,' but now he's just a plain hero for Houston,” referencing Swift’s most popular track on the album, ‘Anti-Hero.’
After referencing each song, Khamisa hilariously checked off the title on a grand list to celebrate each accomplishment of the quest.
On the topic of Lakers’ Russell Westbrook missing all 11 of his field goal attempts, Khamisa responded with, “We call that a ‘Sweet Nothing’.”
Sports
“Midnights” is Swift’s 10th studio album following her recent release of “Red, Taylor’s Version.” Swift will be appearing on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Monday, Oct. 24 and her second music video for “Midnights” (still unnamed) will premiere on Tuesday, Oct. 25. | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/sports/sports-reporter-references-every-taylor-swift-midnights-song-during-broadcast/3918795/ | 2022-10-22 20:27:11 | 1 | https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/sports/sports-reporter-references-every-taylor-swift-midnights-song-during-broadcast/3918795/ |
Ed Sheeran, on guitar, gets musical with a New York jury
NEW YORK (AP) — In a packed New York courtroom, Ed Sheeran picked up his guitar Thursday and launched into a tune that has him locked in a copyright dispute over Marvin Gaye’s soul classic “Let’s Get it On” as the only audience that mattered — a jury — looked on.
Sheeran was an hour into testimony in Manhattan federal court when his lawyer, Ilene Farkas, pressed him to tell how he came to write “Thinking Out Loud” a decade ago.
He reached back, grabbed his guitar from a rack behind the witness stand and explained that writing a song was second nature to him. He said he used his own version of phonetics to create songs so quickly that he could write up to nine in a day. Even last weekend, Sheeran claimed, he wrote 10 songs.
Then he sang just a few words of the pivotal tune, bringing smiles to the faces of some of the spectators in the courtroom of Judge Louis L. Stanton.
“I’m singing out loud,” he sang, loud enough to be heard but not raising decibels in the court.
After he finished singing those words, he spoke a few too, saying “and then words fall in” as he tried to teach the jury his method of creating music. He said he collaborated on the song with a co-writer, Amy Wadge, who wrote the opening chords.
Though he’s performed with some of the world’s great artists and become a regular at music award shows by age 32, he said from the witness stand with his chair tilted toward the jury: “I’m not the world’s most talented guitar player.”
And when he bumped his hand against the witness stand microphone, he said a quick “sorry.”
Then he launched into the song that heirs of Ed Townsend, Gaye’s co-writer on “Let’s Get It On,” say has “striking similarities” and “over common elements” to the famed 1973 Gaye musical treasure.
“When your legs don’t work like they used to,” he sang earnestly, like he might go deeper into the song. Then, after just a few bars, he abruptly placed the guitar back in the rack behind him as his lawyer told the judge it was an appropriate spot to adjourn for the week.
Two days earlier, he had been called to testify by attorneys for the plaintiffs and was adamant in telling jurors that he and Wadge came up with the song without copying anyone else’s music.
He had also said a video that showed he had segued on stage between “Thinking Out Loud” and “Let’s Get It On” was not unusual, adding it was “quite simple to weave in and out of songs” that are in the same key.
On Thursday, his lawyer posed friendly questions, eliciting from Sheeran how he became interested in music after joining a church choir with his mother when he was 4.
Sheeran appeared self deprecating as he told his story, saying: “I can’t read music. I’m not classically trained in anything.”
He said he quit school at 17 so he could perform up to three times a night, playing anywhere that would have him, from bingo halls to restaurants to “anywhere nobody was.”
Within a decade, he was performing with some of the biggest names in music, from Taylor Swift to the Rolling Stones, 50 Cent to Eric Clapton.
Before long, he said, he was writing eight or nine songs a day, explaining: “When inspiration hits, you get excited and it just comes out.”
Near the end of his testimony, Sheeran was asked by his lawyer why an expert called by the plaintiffs had tried to show how chords in “Thinking Out Loud” resemble “Let’s Get It On.”
“He was saying that because it helps his argument,” Sheeran said.
The trial resumes Monday.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
"EBITDA" is defined as net loss before interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, and depreciation and amortization. "Adjusted EBITDA" is defined as EBITDA adjusted for stock-based compensation, restructuring charges, asset impairments, and other costs associated with exit and disposal activities, acquisition and related costs, changes to the fair value of contingent earnout shares liability, and any other one-time non-recurring transaction amounts impacting the statement of operations during the year. Adjusted EBITDA is intended as a supplemental measure of our performance that is neither required by, nor presented in accordance with, GAAP. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when combined with net loss, and EBITDA, is beneficial to an investor's complete understanding of our operating performance. We believe that the use of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool for investors to use in evaluating ongoing operating results and trends and in comparing our financial measures with those of comparable companies, which may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. However, you should be aware that when evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA we may incur future expenses similar to those excluded when calculating these measures. In addition, our presentation of these measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures computed by other companies, because all companies may not calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in the same fashion.
Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. We manage our business utilizing EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental performance measures.

These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics, expectations and timing related to commercial product launches and the achievement of operational milestones, including the ability to meet and/or accelerate anticipated production timelines, Canoo's ability to capitalize on commercial opportunities, current or anticipated customer orders, and expectations regarding the development of facilities. These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of Canoo's management and are not predictions of actual performance. These forward-looking statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to serve as, and must not be relied on by any investor as, a guarantee, an assurance, a prediction or a definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and will differ from assumptions. Many actual events and circumstances are beyond the control of Canoo. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including changes in domestic and foreign business, market, financial, political and legal conditions; Canoo's ability to access future capital, via debt or equity markets, or other sources; the rollout of Canoo's business and the timing of expected business milestones and commercial launch; future market adoption of Canoo's offerings; risks related to Canoo's go-to-market strategy and manufacturing strategy; the effects of competition on Canoo's future business, and those factors discussed under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Canoo's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 1, 2022, as well as its past and future Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other filings with the SEC, copies of which may be obtained by visiting Canoo's Investors Relations website at investors.canoo.com or the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. If any of these risks materialize or our assumptions prove incorrect, actual results could differ materially from the results implied by these forward-looking statements. There may be additional risks that Canoo does not presently know or that Canoo currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect Canoo's expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date of this press release. Canoo anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause Canoo's assessments to change. However, while Canoo may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, Canoo specifically disclaims any obligation to do so. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Canoo's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed upon the forward-looking statements.
