ALLENTOWN, Pa. -- A federal prisoner who was supposed to be temporarily housed at the Lehigh County Jail escaped Sunday evening, but was captured a short time later.
Officials said the prisoner escaped from the sally port, before he ever made it into the jail itself. That's a secured area where inmates are taken as they are transferred into a jail.
There's no word yet from officials on how he managed to get away, but he was caught just 10 minutes later at the site of the old Banana Joe's nightclub in the 300 block of Hamilton Street.
At this point, details are limited. Allentown Police noted that the incident had no connection to their department.
The prisoner's name has not yet been released, and it's not known what federal charges he was being held on.
Officials said he will now be facing escape charges on the state level. | https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/federal-prisoner-escapes-from-transport-area-at-lehigh-county-jail-caught-10-minutes-later/article_d2f47880-2f2a-11ee-aba0-67217e6418af.html | 2023-07-31 11:47:28 | 1 | https://www.wfmz.com/news/area/lehighvalley/federal-prisoner-escapes-from-transport-area-at-lehigh-county-jail-caught-10-minutes-later/article_d2f47880-2f2a-11ee-aba0-67217e6418af.html |

Cross at Christian camp in Orange County is found sawed down
The Orange County Sheriff’s Department is investigating a possible hate crime after staff at a Christian retreat center in Silverado Canyon discovered a 14-foot cross sawed down Thursday morning, according to the department.
Deputies were dispatched to Santiago Retreat Center on Thursday afternoon and concluded that the vandalism occurred between 6 p.m. Wednesday and 6 a.m. Thursday, according to Sgt. Mike Woodroof.
Camp staff found the vandalized cross during the first week of Bible camp, which included more than 300 staff and campers from kindergarten through eighth grade, according to a statement from the retreat center. None of the campers was staying overnight at the camp at the time of the incident.
Mark McElrath, executive director of the retreat center, said the vandalism occurred on the retreat center ranch in Black Star Canyon, about a mile from where main programming took place. The incident did not impact the camp experience and programming will resume next week, after a pause for the Fourth of July, he said.
The cross was constructed and dedicated during a men’s retreat over Father’s Day weekend, using vintage railroad ties repurposed from a demolition project, McElrath said.
The retreat center started a GoFundMe page, aiming to raise $12,000 to go toward rebuilding the cross in early August. Any money that does not go toward the new cross will go toward camp scholarships.
“We’re aware of the fact that the cross is a symbol of many different things for many people, and for us it’s a sign of hope and victory — and for others, obviously it’s a problem,” McElrath said. “So that particular cross, when we rebuild it, we’ll repurpose the one that was sawed up. We’ll reinforce it so this type of vandalism won’t be able to happen again and that will obviously have cameras.”
The camp has 24-hour security, but did not have surveillance cameras where the vandalism took place.
Father Glenn Baaten, chaplain of the retreat center, said in a statement that he was “saddened but perhaps not surprised in this day and age” about the destruction of the cross. He added that staff is “praying for the soul of this person who cut down our cross.”
Woodroof said anyone with information about the incident should call the Orange County Sheriff’s Department at (714) 770-6011.

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Proteus, LLC announced it has been selected by Andersen Capital Management as its partner to complement Andersen's SMA platform with an efficient, technology-enabled, private fund platform in launching its new alternative investment strategy. Andersen will take advantage of Proteus' best-in-class technology, operational rigor, and related infrastructure to seamlessly offer their investment strategies to Accredited and Qualified clientele.
Proteus is structuring a bespoke master-feeder solution that will allow Andersen to aggregate clientele for its Weather Mark Long/Short investment strategy. The strategy employs the same stock picking process that Andersen has used since 2010, now generalized to permit shorting stocks that have poor business models. The solution will launch September 1, 2022.
"The Andersen relationship is yet another example that highlights our unique position and capabilities in the alternative asset space," says Eric Knauss, CEO at Proteus. "The Proteus Platform truly stands unrivaled in its breadth and depth. Our careful planning and foresight in how we have developed the technology and related infrastructure of the Platform has put us in a position where we can offer tailored solutions that match exacting client needs. In Andersen's case, you see a world-renowned portfolio manager that has found it is possible to enjoy the benefits of operating in a fund structure without any of the burdens. In fact, life will be getting simpler and less costly for both Andersen and their clients by taking advantage of the Proteus Platform."
Proteus offers a wide variety of alternative investment opportunities to Accredited Investor and Qualified Purchaser clients ranging from access to individual managers, no-cost managed strategies, and comprehensive alternative asset management models.
Further, Proteus offers compelling solutions to asset managers whether they currently operate SMAs or Funds. In Andersen's case, Proteus is offering a turnkey solution to extend existing and new clients access to his long short strategy with an efficient and transparent fund structure. "SMA managers and their clients can benefit from the advantages of fund structures. However, before the Proteus offering, there was no elegant way of migrating to a fund structure without exorbitant cost, complexity, and opacity. Proteus is changing that dynamic," Knauss added.
"My clients know I have high levels of integrity," says Peter Andersen, Founder and CIO of Andersen Capital Management. "Since founding Andersen Capital, I had been looking for the perfect partner for relaunching my long/short version of Weather Mark. Most fund structures I considered did not have attractive offering characteristics and were materially deficient in what I expect for my clients. We hesitated to offer the long/short strategy in a fund structure if these problems weren't solved. Proteus does just that. With this partnership I will be able to offer my strategies broadly, at lower cost to the client, and with unparalleled transparency. This solution is perfectly designed with the best interest of my investors in mind."

- The ALITHIOS open-label extension study showed continuous treatment with Kesimpta® (ofatumumab) for up to five years in relapsing multiple sclerosis (RMS) patients was associated with reduced risk of disability progression versus those who switched later from teriflunomide to Kesimpta1
- Outcomes related to both disability progression and brain volume change up to five years favored earlier initiation of Kesimpta in people living with RMS1
- A separate ALITHIOS analysis showed consistent safety profile of Kesimpta treatment for up to five years in people with RMS and in those switched from teriflunomide2
- Treatment with Kesimpta continued to be well tolerated with no new safety signals identified over the treatment period2
EAST HANOVER, N.J., April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Novartis today announced new long-term data from the ALITHIOS open-label extension study showing that up to five years, patients treated earlier and continuously with Kesimpta® (ofatumumab) had fewer disability worsening events and low brain volume change versus those who started on teriflunomide and were later switched to Kesimpta1. A separate analysis showed that treatment with Kesimpta for up to five years was well-tolerated, with no new or increased safety risks identified2. These data will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) Annual Meeting held in Boston and virtually on April 22-27, 2023.
"With continuous Kesimpta treatment, key indicators of disability progression and brain volume change showed that most patients remained free from disease progression up to five years," said principal investigator Jeffrey A. Cohen, MD, of the Neurological Institute at Cleveland Clinic. "Outcomes favored earlier, compared with later, initiation of treatment with Kesimpta. Along with the five-year safety analysis, these data support this treatment as a well-tolerated, efficacious treatment option for people living with relapsing multiple sclerosis."
In people with RMS who continued in the ALITHIOS study for up to five years, earlier treatment with Kesimpta was associated with fewer confirmed disability worsening (CDW) events, including progression independent of relapse activity and relapse associated worsening, versus those who switched later from teriflunomide1. More than 80% of patients remained free of six-month CDW over the same five period1.
Additionally, brain volume change remained low (less than 1.5% loss) with Kesimpta treatment over five years, and overall, patients initially randomized to Kesimpta had lower levels of brain volume loss at year five than those initially randomized to teriflunomide1. Annual rate of brain volume change (ABVC) in the core Phase III trials for continuous Kesimpta was -0.34%/year and in the switch group, -0.42%/year (P=0.115). In the extension, ABVC in the Kesimpta group was -0.27%/year and in the switch group, -0.28%/year (P=0.666)1.
"These longer-term data continue to reinforce the favorable safety profile of Kesimpta, as well as its ability to slow disease progression, supporting its earlier use in people with relapsing multiple sclerosis," said Victor Bultó, President, Innovative Medicines US, Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. "Novartis remains committed to the multiple sclerosis community in our continued study of Kesimpta and to supporting those living with MS and their families throughout their journey."
The separate analysis of the ALITHIOS extension data showed consistent safety results of Kesimpta for people with RMS following up to five years of treatment2. The overall rates of adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs were consistent with the core Phase III trials2,3. The most common AEs were infections (COVID-19 [30.3%], nasopharyngitis [19%], upper respiratory tract infection [12.8%] and urinary tract infection [12.7%])2. Most COVID-19 cases were mild to moderate in severity (93.9%) and non-serious (92.3%), and 98.6% of patients treated with Kesimpta recovered, recovered with sequalae, or were recovering from COVID-192. Most (90.3%) infections resolved without discontinuing Kesimpta treatment2.
The overall rate of serious infections also remained stable with no increased risk over five years (106 patients, or 5.38%, experienced serious infection in the core Phase III plus extension trials)2. Mean serum immunoglobulin G (IgG) levels remained stable up to five years of treatment and the majority of patients (98%) had lgG levels above the lower limit of normal (LLN)2. Mean serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) levels decreased over time but remained above the LLN for the majority of patients (69.4%)2. There was no association between reduction in Ig levels and risk of serious infections2. Treatment interruption/discontinuation was reported in three (0.2%)/four (0.2%) patients due to low lgG; and 202 (10.3%)/71 (3.6%) patients due to low lgM2. There were six fatal cases due to serious infections (five were COVID-19-related and one was due to pneumonia and septic shock)2.
About Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by myelin destruction and axonal damage in the brain, optic nerves and spinal cord4 MS, which affects around 2 million people worldwide5, can be characterized into four main types: clinically isolated syndrome (CIS), relapsing-remitting (RRMS), secondary progressive (SPMS) and primary progressive (PPMS)6. The various forms of MS can be distinguished based on whether a patient experiences relapses (clearly defined acute inflammatory attacks of worsening neurological function), and/or whether they experience progression of neurologic damage and disability from the onset of the disease4.
About Kesimpta® (ofatumumab)
Kesimpta is a targeted, precisely dosed and delivered B-cell therapy that provides the flexibility of self-administration for adults with relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (RMS). It is an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) self-administered by a once-monthly injection, delivered subcutaneously7,8. Initial doses of Kesimpta are at Weeks 0, 1 and 2, with the first injection performed under the guidance of a healthcare professional. As shown in preclinical studies, Kesimpta is thought to work by binding to a distinct epitope on the CD20 molecule inducing potent B-cell lysis and depletion9. The selective mechanism of action and subcutaneous administration of Kesimpta allows precise delivery to the lymph nodes, where B-cell depletion in MS is needed, and preclinical studies have shown that it may preserve the B-cells in the spleen10. Data from the ALITHIOS open-label extension study for up to 5 years and the ASCLEPIOS I/II core studies show Kesimpta's efficacy and favorable safety and tolerability profile in RMS participants1,2 Ofatumumab was originally developed by Genmab and licensed to GlaxoSmithKline. Novartis obtained rights for ofatumumab from GlaxoSmithKline in all indications, including RMS, in December 201511. Ofatumumab has been approved for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis in over 80 countries worldwide with more than 40,000 patients treated.

KESIMPTA
INDICATION
KESIMPTA is indicated for the treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis (MS), to include clinically isolated syndrome, relapsing-remitting disease, and active secondary progressive disease, in adults.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Contraindication: KESIMPTA is contraindicated in patients with active hepatitis B virus infection.
Warnings and Precautions
Infections: An increased risk of infections has been observed with other anti-CD20 B-cell depleting therapies. KESIMPTA has the potential for an increased risk of infections including serious bacterial, fungal, and new or reactivated viral infections; some have been fatal in patients treated with other anti-CD20 antibodies. The overall rate of infections and serious infections in KESIMPTA-treated patients was similar to teriflunomide-treated patients (51.6% vs 52.7%, and 2.5% vs 1.8%, respectively). The most common infections reported by KESIMPTA-treated patients in relapsing MS (RMS) trials included upper respiratory tract infection (39%) and urinary tract infection (10%). Delay KESIMPTA administration in patients with an active infection until resolved.
Consider the potential increased immunosuppressive effects when initiating KESIMPTA after an immunosuppressive therapy or initiating an immunosuppressive therapy after KESIMPTA.
Hepatitis B Virus: Reactivation: No reports of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation in patients with MS treated with KESIMPTA. However, HBV reactivation, in some cases resulting in fulminant hepatitis, hepatic failure, and death, has occurred in patients treated with ofatumumab at higher intravenous doses for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) than the recommended dose in MS and in patients treated with other anti-CD20 antibodies.
Infection: KESIMPTA is contraindicated in patients with active hepatitis B disease. Fatal infections caused by HBV in patients who have not been previously infected have occurred in patients treated with ofatumumab at higher intravenous doses for CLL than the recommended dose in MS. Perform HBV screening in all patients before initiation of KESIMPTA. Patients who are negative for HBsAg and positive for HB core antibody [HBcAb+] or are carriers of HBV [HBsAg+], should consult liver disease experts before starting and during KESIMPTA treatment.
Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy: No cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) have been reported for KESIMPTA in RMS clinical studies; however, PML resulting in death has occurred in patients being treated with ofatumumab at higher intravenous doses for CLL than the recommended dose in MS. In addition, JC virus infection resulting in PML has also been observed in patients treated with other anti-CD20 antibodies and other MS therapies. If PML is suspected, withhold KESIMPTA and perform an appropriate diagnostic evaluation. If PML is confirmed, KESIMPTA should be discontinued.
Vaccinations: Administer all immunizations according to immunization guidelines: for live or live-attenuated vaccines at least 4 weeks and, whenever possible at least 2 weeks prior to starting KESIMPTA for inactivated vaccines. The safety of immunization with live or live-attenuated vaccines following KESIMPTA therapy has not been studied. Vaccination with live or live-attenuated vaccines is not recommended during treatment and after discontinuation until B-cell repletion.
Vaccination of Infants Born to Mothers Treated with KESIMPTA During Pregnancy. For infants whose mother was treated with KESIMPTA during pregnancy, assess B-cell counts prior to administration of live or live-attenuated vaccines. If the B-cell count has not recovered in the infant, do not administer the vaccine as having depleted B-cells may pose an increased risk in these infants.
Injection-Related Reactions: Injection-related reactions with systemic symptoms occurred most commonly within 24 hours of the first injection, but were also observed with later injections. There were no life-threatening injection reactions in RMS clinical studies.
The first injection of KESIMPTA should be performed under the guidance of an appropriately trained health care professional. If injection-related reactions occur, symptomatic treatment is recommended.
Reduction in Immunoglobulins: As expected with any B-cell depleting therapy, decreased immunoglobulin levels were observed. Monitor the levels of quantitative serum immunoglobulins during treatment, especially in patients with opportunistic or recurrent infections and after discontinuation of therapy until B-cell repletion. Consider discontinuing KESIMPTA therapy if a patient with low immunoglobulins develops a serious opportunistic infection or recurrent infections, or if prolonged hypogammaglobulinemia requires treatment with intravenous immunoglobulins.
Fetal Risk: Based on animal data, KESIMPTA can cause fetal harm due to B-cell lymphopenia and reduce antibody response in offspring exposed to KESIMPTA in utero. Transient peripheral B-cell depletion and lymphocytopenia have been reported in infants born to mothers exposed to other anti-CD20 B-cell depleting antibodies during pregnancy. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception while receiving KESIMPTA and for at least 6 months after the last dose.
Most common adverse reactions (>10%) are upper respiratory tract infection, headache, injection-related reactions, and local injection-site reactions.

Those are some of the most commonly searched Super Bowl LVII topics in Pennsylvania, according to Google Trends.
First, we’ll start with the obvious. Which team are Pennsylvanians searching on Google more?
The answer to that isn’t shocking. Eight five percent of Pennsylvanians have been searching for the Eagles on Google. Fifteen percent have been searching for the Chiefs.
The Super Bowl is one of biggest sporting and entertaining events on the year. In fact, the Super Bowl has been the final game of the NFL season since 1966. So, which cities in Pennsylvania are interested in the big game?
According to Google Trends, Philadelphia is ranked number four out of all the cities in the United States in terms of overall interest in the Super Bowl. Erie follows closely behind, ranked at number five.
The city in the United States that has the most interest in the Super Bowl is Kansas City.
This Super Bowl will feature the first matchup between two brothers. Jason Kelce for the Eagles and Travis Kelce for the Chiefs.
Which Kelce brother is Pennsylvania more interested in? The answer would be Travis Kelce. In fact, the United States as a whole is more interested in Travis Kelce, 71% of Americans have been Googling him, while 29% have been Googling his brother.
The two main quarterbacks matched up this year, Jalen Hurts and Patrick Mahomes, have been gaining a lot of interest on Google this year. According to Google Trends, this will be the first time that two black quarterbacks are matched up.
Which quarterback is Pennsylvania more interested in? Well, it’s hard to say. All of Pennsylvania, except Philadelphia, is more interested in Patrick Mahomes, with 93% of Midstate fans Googling Mahomes. In Philadelphia, Hurts is more popular, with 57% of fans searching for Hurts on Google.
Andy Reid, who was previously the head coach of the Eagles, is the current head coach of the Chiefs. Pennsylvania is very interested in Reid, ranking number three out of states that have been Googling Reid the most. Kansas ranks as the number one state currently.
As you can imagine, Philadelphia fans are very curious to learn more about Reid, since he was once affiliated with the Eagles. These are the top questions that Philadelphia fans have been searching for in regard to Reid.
Some people only watch the Super Bowl for the Halftime Show. This year Rihanna will be headlining the show, following previous performers such as Bruno Mars, Madonna, Beyonce, and Justin Timberlake.
Is Pennsylvania interested in the Halftime Show? Well, Pennsylvanians are. Just not as interested as other states. Pennsylvania ranks number 10 in out of all the states in terms of interest in this year’s Halftime Show. Kansas is the most interested in the Halftime Show. | https://www.krqe.com/sports/the-big-game/what-is-pennsylvania-searching-for-super-bowl-lvii/ | 2023-02-07 16:49:06 | 1 | https://www.krqe.com/sports/the-big-game/what-is-pennsylvania-searching-for-super-bowl-lvii/ |
PHOENIX — A Valley grandfather is building “little libraries” and installing them on elementary school campuses in Laveen to remind students about the importance of reading.
Daniel Magos constructed the first libraries in 2019 after a request by administrators. Families and business owners donate new and used books to keep the libraries stocked. Students are welcome to borrow books or keep them.
“I love the education system and any small contribution I can come up with, I’m glad to do it,” Magos said.
“They need to know that books are part of their life everywhere. It’s not just going to the city or school library,” said Laveen Elementary School principal Robert Kaplinger. “We want kids to build their libraries at home. We want families to read with their kids. Reading, reading, reading. It’s essential to everything.”
Schools face the challenge of keeping students interested in reading books. Studies by the U.S. Department of Education show the percentage of elementary-aged children who read for enjoyment has gradually declined since the mid-1980s.
“They have a lot of distractions like TikTok and Instagram,” Kaplinger said. “We make sure they are learning to read for long spans.”
For Magos, the libraries also provide a way for him to give back. His two daughters attended Phoenix schools and today are successful in the fields of finance and education.
“I’m proud to help,” Magos said. “And I’m not ready to retire and go into my rocking chair.”
Magos is also a crossing guard at Laveen Elementary School.

Barbara Murdoch said scorpions have had about 400 million years of survival to get things right.
“For comparison, humans have been on the planet for about 0.2 million years,” Murdoch, an associate professor at Eastern Connecticut State University, said. “There’s got to be just something about [scorpions] that is special. That they can survive through everything that’s happened over that time.”
Murdoch and a team of researchers recently collected two species of scorpions in America’s southwest. After taking the samples back to the lab and isolating DNA in their tails, they found scorpion tail-stingers – once thought to be sterile – are actually covered in bacteria.
Her team found some of those bacteria appear to be new to science. The research was published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS ONE.
“If you can find a new source of bacteria, or novel bacteria, chances are that you’re on a roadmap toward finding novel antibiotics,” Murdoch said. “Those antibiotics could then be used to treat human infections.”
The United Nations lists antibiotic resistance as a “global threat.” And says antimicrobial resistant infections may become the leading cause of death globally by 2050.
According to the World Health Organization, antibiotic resistance is rising to dangerously high levels in all parts of the world, making a growing list of infections such as pneumonia, tuberculosis and blood poisoning all harder to treat as antibiotics become less effective.
“A lot of other studies have looked at scorpion venom for medically-important molecules,” Murdoch said. “I don’t think they’ve looked at them as a source of, potentially, new antibiotics.”
Mark Adams, a professor with the Jackson Laboratory in Farmington, Conn., was not involved in study and said the paper wasn’t designed to specifically advance antibiotic development – it was more about basic biological science. But he said it’s important for scientists to delve deeper into how groups of bacteria function in humans and in the wild.
“Those communities and ecosystems are really complex. They’re difficult to study outside the body and they’re difficult to study inside the body,” Adams said. “The more tools we have for dissecting what those interactions look like, the better.”
He said scientists have long turned to new environments where bacteria are in competition with one another in a quest to find novel antibiotics.
“That’s not a new idea,” he said. “But the technologies that we have now available for understanding what bacteria are in these niche environments and then trying to mine them for all kinds of interesting biology – the tools are much better now than they have been in the last 10 years.”
Adams said pharmaceutical companies haven’t shown a lot of interest in recent years in developing new antibiotics, despite growing fears over antibiotic resistance.
“There’s a big health care crisis. The drug companies aren’t doing the work. And so there really is a niche for small biotech companies and for academics to try to fill those gaps,” Adams said.
Murdoch, the professor at Eastern, said it’s still not entirely clear how the bacteria on the tail stingers function – and the role they play to either protect the scorpion or, possibly, enhance its venom.
But she hopes the paper is one more step in understanding the biology of this 400-million-year-old invertebrate.
“I hope, also, that it helps people become more aware about antibiotic resistance,” she said. “And maybe look into it further to learn about things they could be doing today that could help.” | https://www.nepm.org/2023-01-27/scorpion-stingers-once-thought-sterile-are-covered-in-bacteria-that-could-yield-new-antibiotics | 2023-01-27 16:40:21 | 1 | https://www.nepm.org/2023-01-27/scorpion-stingers-once-thought-sterile-are-covered-in-bacteria-that-could-yield-new-antibiotics |
Asian shares fell Monday after another week of sizable losses on Wall Street, as investors braced for another interest rate hike by the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Japan’s markets were closed for a holiday. Oil prices rose while U.S. futures declined.
On Friday, a stark warning Friday from FedEx about rapidly worsening trends in the economy gave investors more to worry about. The S&P 500 fell 0.7%, while the Nasdaq lost almost 1%. The Dow lost almost half a percent.
Markets have been on edge because of stubbornly high inflation and the increases in interest rates being used to fight it. The fear is that the Fed and other central banks might overshoot their policy targets, triggering a recession.
Most economists forecast that the Fed will jack up its primary lending rate another three-quarters of a point when the central bank’s leaders meet this week.
“Fact is, hawkish expectations built on the ‘hot under the hood’ U.S. inflation print means that markets have good reason to be braced for headwinds amid prospects of higher (for longer) rates; and arguably “higher for longer” USD (dollar) as well,” Vishnu Varathan of Mizuho Bank said in a commentary.
The S&P 500 sank 4.8% for the week, with much of the loss coming from a 4.3% rout on Tuesday following a surprisingly hot report on inflation.
All the major indexes have now posted losses four out of the past five weeks.
In Asia on Monday, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng lost 0.9% to 18,586.47 while the Shanghai Composite index shed 0.3% to 3,115.87. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.1% lower, to 6,731.80. In Seoul, the Kospi sank 1% to 2,360.22.
Japan’s central bank meets Wednesday and Thursday amid rising pressure to counter a sharp decline in the yen, which is trading near 145 to the dollar after sharp increases in the value of the greenback. That has raised costs for businesses and consumers, who must pay more for imports of oil, gas and other necessities.
However the Bank of Japan has held firm so far in maintaining an ultralow benchmark rate of minus 0.1% in hopes of stimulating investment and spending.
FedEx sank 21.4% for its biggest single-day sell-off on record Frday after warning investors that profits for its fiscal first-quarter will likely fall short of forecasts because of a drop-off in business. The package delivery service is also shuttering storefronts and corporate offices and expects business conditions to further weaken.
The S&P 500 fell 0.7% to 3,873.33. It’s now down 18.7% so far this year. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 0.5% to 30,822.42 and the Nasdaq slid 0.9% to 11,448.40.
Makers of household goods, which are typically considered less risky investments, held up better than the rest of the market. Campbell Soup rose 1.3%.
Higher interest rates tend to weigh on stocks, especially the pricier technology sector. Technology stocks within the S&P 500 are down more than 26% for the year and communications companies have shed more than 34%. They are the worst performing sectors within the benchmark index so far this year.
The housing sector is also hurting as interest rates rise. Average long-term U.S. mortgage rates climbed above 6% this week for the first time since the housing crash of 2008. The higher rates could make an already tight housing market even more expensive for homebuyers.
Reports this week from the government showed that prices for just about everything but gas are still rising, the job market is still red-hot and consumers continue to spend, all of which give ammunition to Fed officials who say the economy can tolerate more rate hikes.
In other trading Monday, U.S. benchmark crude gained 58 cents to $85.69 per barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It edged up 1 cent to $85.11 per barrel.
Brent crude oil rose 72 cents to $92.07 per barrel.
The dollar strengthened to 143.14 Japanese yen from 142.94 yen. The euro slipped to 99.98 cents from $1.0014. | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/asian-shares-slip-lower-following-broad-decline-on-wall-st/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all | 2022-09-19 03:56:13 | 0 | https://www.seattletimes.com/business/asian-shares-slip-lower-following-broad-decline-on-wall-st/?utm_source=RSS&utm_medium=Referral&utm_campaign=RSS_all |

WILMINGTON, Del. (AP) — Fox and Dominion Voting Systems reached a settlement Tuesday in the voting machine company’s defamation lawsuit, averting a trial in a case that exposed how the top-rated network chased viewers by promoting lies about the 2020 presidential election.
The terms of the settlement were not immediately clear.
Dominion had asked for $1.6 billion in arguing that Fox had damaged its reputation by helping peddle conspiracy theories about its equipment. Fox said the amount greatly overstated the value of the Colorado-based company.
The settlement was announced by the judge in the case, who allowed the case to go to trial while emphasizing that it was “CRYSTAL clear” that none of the allegations about Dominion aired on Fox by allies of former President Donald Trump were true.
A statement from Fox said the settlement reflected the network's "continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards. We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues.”
Records released as part of the lawsuit showed how Fox hosts and executives did not believe the claims by Trump’s allies but aired them anyway, in part to win back viewers who were fleeing the network after it correctly called hotly contested Arizona for Democrat Joe Biden on election night.
If accepted by the judge, the settlement will end a case that has proved a major embarrassment for Fox News. If it had gone to trial, it also would have presented one of the sternest tests to a libel standard that has protected media organizations for over half a century.
Several First Amendment experts had said Dominion’s case was among the strongest they had ever seen. But there was real doubt about whether Dominion would be able to prove to a jury that people in a decision-making capacity at Fox could be held responsible for the network airing the falsehoods.
Ultimately, there appeared to be too much at risk for both sides to allow them to put the case in the hands of a jury.
Dominion accused Fox of libel for repeatedly airing, in the weeks after the 2020 presidential election, false allegations by Trump allies that its machines and the software they used had switched votes to Biden — even though many at the network doubted the claims and disparaged those making them.
The company sued both Fox News and its parent, Fox Corp.
During a deposition, Fox Corp. Chairman Rupert Murdoch, who founded the news network, testified that he believed the 2020 election was fair and had not been stolen from the former president.
“Fox knew the truth,” Dominion argued in court papers. “It knew the allegations against Dominion were ‘outlandish’ and ‘crazy’ and ‘ludicrous’ and ‘nuts.’ Yet it used the power and influence of its platform to promote that false story.”
In a March 31 ruling, Davis pointedly called out the news organization for airing falsehoods while noting how the bogus election claims persist, 2 1/2 years after Trump lost his bid for reelection.
“The statements at issue were dramatically different than the truth,” Davis said in his summary judgment ruling. “In fact, although it cannot be attributed directly to Fox’s statements, it is noteworthy that some Americans still believe the election was rigged.”
In its defense, Fox said it was obligated to report on the most newsworthy of stories — a president claiming that he had been cheated out of reelection.
“We never reported those to be true,” Fox lawyer Erin Murphy said. “All we ever did was provide viewers the true fact that these were allegations that were being made.”
Fox said Dominion had argued that the network was obligated to suppress the allegations or denounce them as false.
“Freedom of speech and of the press would be illusory if the prevailing side in a public controversy could sue the press for giving a forum to the losing side,” Fox said in court papers.
In a 1964 case involving The New York Times, the U.S. Supreme Court limited the ability of public figures to sue for defamation. It ruled that plaintiffs needed to prove that news outlets published or aired false material with “actual malice” — knowing it was false or acting with a “reckless disregard” for whether or not it was true.
That has provided news organizations with stout protection against libel judgments. Yet the nearly six-decade legal standard has come under attack by some conservatives in recent years, including Trump and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who have argued for making it easier to win a libel case.
Two Republican-nominated Supreme Court justices, Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch, have publicly expressed interest in revisiting the protection.
Dominion’s attorneys argued that Fox made a deliberate decision to repeatedly air the false claims to appeal to viewers. They allowed guests to falsely claim that the company had rigged the election, flipped large numbers of votes to Biden through a secret algorithm, was owned by a company founded in Venezuela to rig elections for Hugo Chavez, and bribed government officials.
“What they did to get viewers back was start this new narrative that the election had been stolen and that Dominion was the thief,” Dominion attorney Rodney Smolla said during a March hearing.
A mountain of evidence — released in the form of deposition transcripts, internal memos and emails from the time — was damaging to Fox even if some of the material was only tangentially related to the libel argument.
Much of the material showed a network effectively terrified of its audience after its election night declaration that Biden had won Arizona. The race call infuriated Trump and many viewers who supported him.
One of Fox’s top news anchors, Bret Baier, noted the audience’s anger and suggested rescinding the call, even awarding the state to Trump.
“We don’t want to antagonize Trump further,” Murdoch said in a Nov. 16 memo.
Biden narrowly won Arizona, but two executives responsible for the accurate election night call lost their jobs because of it two months later. In an internal memo, Murdoch talked in mid-November about firing them.
Fox executives and anchors discussed how not to alienate the audience, many of whom believed Trump’s claims of fraud despite no evidence to back them up. Fox’s Tucker Carlson suggested a news reporter be fired for tweeting a fact check debunking the fraud claims.
Some of the exhibits were simply embarrassing, such as scornful behind-the-scenes opinions about Trump, including a Carlson text message that said, “I hate him passionately.” | https://www.wtvr.com/news/national/fox-dominion-reach-settlement-over-false-election-claims | 2023-04-18 21:03:08 | 0 | https://www.wtvr.com/news/national/fox-dominion-reach-settlement-over-false-election-claims |
(CNN) — Donald Trump looked to stall Democratic Senate candidate Tim Ryan’s attempt to win over his supporters with a Saturday rally in Ohio, telling the audience that the Democrat is no friend of the Trump movement even if he is “acting as though he is my friend on policy.”
Trump’s appearance in support of Republican Senate candidate JD Vance is the latest stop on his tour to aid the candidates he helped win contentious Republican primaries. Trump has used his endorsement to help Senate candidates such as Vance, Blake Masters in Arizona and Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania emerge from crowded Republican fields. But these nominees have since struggled to pivot to the general election, beset by depleted campaign coffers and poor post-primary fundraising, forcing the former President to come to their aid once again.
As influential as Trump has been in Republican primaries, his influence in a general election remains uncertain. But Republicans working to take back the Senate now find themselves in a scenario under which the candidates Trump helped nominate are now central to any hope of controlling the chamber in 2023.
To do just that, Trump has hit the road. The former president headlined a rally two weeks ago in Pennsylvania, where Oz spoke and the former President lauded the celebrity doctor, albeit briefly. Trump is scheduled to lead an event in North Carolina on Friday with US Rep. Ted Budd, the state’s Senate nominee, who has the former President’s endorsement, and later in Michigan with a series of candidates he has backed.
In Ohio, Ryan is mounting a stronger than expected challenge to Vance by distancing himself from some Democratic policies and embracing aspects of Trump’s tenue. Ryan has run ads criticizing his own party, suggested President Joe Biden shouldn’t run for reelection and — in acknowledgment of Ohio’s recent rightward shift — stressed the need for Democrats to win over Trump voters.
“I agreed with Trump on trade,” Ryan said in a television ad over the summer. “I voted against outsourcing every single time.”
Trump has clearly taken note of Ryan’s strategy — his rally on Saturday was in Youngstown, the heart of Ryan’s congressional district.
“He looked at my poll numbers. I think he is running, JD, on an I love Donald Trump policy,” Trump said of Ryan, adding, “He doesn’t like me, and I don’t like him. He has been terrible.”
By rallying in Youngstown, Trump is stepping into the area that shaped Ryan. Raised in nearby Niles, Ohio, Ryan has represented the community for all his political career, making it and surrounding Mahoning County synonymous with his brand of union-backing Democratic politics. But Mahoning has tilted toward Republicans after being a Democratic stronghold for years: Trump in 2020 was the first Republican presidential nominee to win the county since Richard Nixon in 1972.
“I won his area by a lot,” Trump said, adding, “We won Ohio twice. … We won it in two landslides and now we have to give JD a landslide.”
One way Ohio Democrats have looked to win over Trump voters is by casting Vance as a phony, repeatedly noting that as recently as 2016 the now Trump-endorsed Senate candidate criticized the former president.
“Yeah, he said some bad things about me,” Trump said with a smile, acknowledging Vance’s past criticism. “But that was before he knew me. And then he fell in love.”
Trump’s remarks were littered with his trademark grievance politics. The former president said, “for six straight years I have been harassed, investigated, defamed, slandered, and persecuted” like no president in history, adding that people are “not just coming after me, they are coming after you through me.”
His complaints were not just about Democrats, though. While complaining about inflation, Trump said, “Mitch McConnell better get on the ball and stop it in the Senate. He is like a Democrat.”
And Trump also put the onus on Vance to stand up to the Senate Republican leader and “get him out of there.”
“Mitch McConnell is a disgrace and I hope you are going to do something about it, JD,” Trump said, putting Vance in an awkward position given that Senate Leadership Fund, a group with close ties to McConnell, was forced to reserve $28 million in television ad time in Ohio, an outlay no Republican would have expected for the race earlier in the cycle.
By the end of June, Ryan had raised $21.8 million in the 2022 cycle, compared with only $3.5 million for Vance. The Democrat entered the second half of the year with a 5-to-1 cash advantage over his GOP opponent.
And in Vance’s case, the money issues extend beyond his own fundraising.
To get through the primary, Vance needed the outside support of billionaire tech mogul Peter Thiel, who poured millions into a pro-Vance super PAC. The money Thiel spent to boost Vance even warmed Trump to backing the Republican candidate.
But once Vance emerged from the primary, Thiel stopped spending on his pro-Vance effort, causing significant rifts between the PayPal co-founder and Republicans such as McConnell, who has lobbied Thiel to spend more on Senate campaigns.
Much of Trump’s speech focused on his personal politics more than Vance or others. Trump continued to tease a 2024 run — something he has been doing for months.
“I ran twice, I won twice,” Trump said, before adding that he “may have to do it again.”
The crowd erupted as Trump continued to lie about the 2020 election, a sign of how election denial is still a key motivator for the former president’s followers.
“Stay tuned, everybody. Stay tuned,” he added.
Trump was scheduled to begin speaking at 7 p.m. ET, the same time as the Ohio State Buckeyes kicked off against the Toledo Rockets less than 200 miles away in Columbus. Vance, who graduated from Ohio State, said he thought the rally would be over at 8:30 p.m. ET so that people could leave and watch the second half. Trump began speaking at 7:44 p.m. ET and didn’t end until 9:25 p.m. ET — when the Ohio State game was well into the third quarter with Ohio State leading 49-21.
Trump acknowledged the Ohio State football game, saying, “you have a football game going on and it didn’t effect this crowd.”
Democrats responded to the Trump rally by primarily dismissing it as less important than the Ohio State game.
“I was too busy watching football, but I’m sure whatever San Francisco phony JD Vance and his out-of-state allies tried to talk about in a half-empty stadium would’ve rang hollow with all the Ohioans who were also busy tuning into the Ohio State-Toledo game,” said Jordan Fuja, a Ryan spokeswoman who was at the Ohio State game on Saturday night.
The scene around the event was like most other Trump rallies, where some of the former President’s most fervent acolytes milled about as his devout supporters stood in line for hours to get in. Those acolytes included Mike Lindell, who said Tuesday that the FBI served him with a grand jury subpoena for the contents of his phone as part of an investigation into a Colorado election security breach.
Trump did not mention Lindell from the stage.

NFL suspends 5 players from Lions, Commanders for violating gambling policy
NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL suspended five players for violating the league’s gambling policy on Friday.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Quintez Cephus and safety C.J. Moore and Washington Commanders defensive end Shaka Toney were suspended indefinitely, while Lions wide receivers Stanley Berryhill and Jameson Williams were suspended six games.
Cephus, Moore and Toney are suspended indefinitely through at least the conclusion of the 2023 season for betting on NFL games in the 2022 season, and may petition for reinstatement at the conclusion of the 2023 season.
Berryhill and Williams were suspended for betting from an NFL facility on non-NFL games. They are eligible to participate in all offseason and preseason activities, including preseason games., and their suspensions will take effect at the final roster cutdown.
In a release, the NFL said that a “league review uncovered no evidence indicating any inside information was used or that any game was compromised in any way.”
The Lions released Cephus and Moore on Friday.
Detroit Lions executive vice president and general manager Brad Holmes said in a statement that the players “exhibited decision making that is not consistent with our organizational values and violates league rules.”
Holmes also said that the team will work with Stanley and Jameson “to ensure they understand the severity of these violations and have clarity on the league rules moving forward.”
The Commanders said in a statement that the team has “cooperated fully with the NFL’s investigation since receiving notice and support the league’s findings and actions.”

New tool unifies customer and auditor communication while automating evidence request and approvals within the Drata platform
SAN DIEGO, Feb. 2, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Drata, a continuous security and compliance automation platform, today launched Audit Hub, a new tool to amplify customer-auditor collaboration and real-time audit correspondence. Integrating feedback directly from its Auditor Alliance, Drata designed Audit Hub to centralize key communication and audit needs in its own platform to further simplify audit readiness and streamline the continuous compliance journey.
When pursuing relevant compliance frameworks, an open line of communication between the company and auditor is integral to a successful audit. However, requesting evidence, outlining needs, or answering questions is often distributed across multiple platforms, creating a disjointed experience for both parties involved in the audit process.

VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Montage Gold Corp. ("Montage" or the "Company") (TSXV: MAU) (OTCQX: MAUTF) is pleased to announce that on September 6, 2022, the Ivorian Council of Ministers approved the award of the Gbongogo and Sisséplé Exploration Permits to the Mankono-Sissédougou Joint Venture ("Mankono"). Public disclosure of these awards can be viewed at the following url: https://rti.info/politique/13686. This marks a critical step in the process towards closing of the previously announced acquisition of Mankono by Montage (the "Transaction", see press release dated June 8, 2022, for more details). Montage expects to close the Transaction in the coming weeks, following receipt of the signed Presidential decree in respect of the Gbongogo Exploration Permit. With the granting of the Mankono permits now approved, Montage is pleased to provide disclosure of the extensive historic database of results from Mankono for the first time, as well as details of the Company's exploration plans and strategy.
- Mankono exploration permits approved by Government of CDI
- 14 drill-ready targets; initial 25,000m of drilling planned
- Transaction will expand Koné Gold Project ("KGP")
- Gbongogo prospect gives high-grade head start 30km from Koné deposit
- 135.2m at 2.63g/t from 1m
- 92m at 2.99g/t from 33m
- 77m at 2.48g/t from 61m
- Open in all directions
- Other top priority targets with high-grade drill results, include:
Rick Clark, Montage CEO commented, "We are very pleased to have received notice of the approval of the Mankono exploration permits and look forward to closing the Transaction with Barrick and Endeavour upon receipt of the Presidential decree. We very much appreciate the support of the Government of Côte d'Ivoire towards accomplishing this.
"With the addition of Mankono, our consolidated land position grows to more than 2,250km2 over one of the most prolific gold belts in West Africa, all of which is within haulage distance of the expanded Koné Gold Project. We intend to explore aggressively to prove up multiple satellite targets and the high-grade Gbongogo deposit which remains open in all directions gives us an excellent head start. Based on our evaluation of the historic data we believe that, in addition to the initial Inferred Mineral Resource at Gbongogo, the Mankono package has real potential for further discoveries of 0.8Moz to 1.2Moz at a grade of between 1.5g/t and 2.0g/t*. Given the average mineral reserve grade of the Koné deposit of 0.66g/t, the addition of higher grade reserves from Mankono could significantly improve the economics of the KGP going forward."
*This potential quantity and grade are presently conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient exploration to define such a mineral resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. The potential quantity and grade were developed based on a review of available historic data, grade, intersected widths, and possible strike extent at the various prospects and the overall prospectivity of the land package.
Mankono consists of the Sissédougou Exploration Permit (PR842, 387km2) issued in 2019, the Gbongogo Exploration Permit (400km2) and the Sisséplé Exploration Permit (106km2) which are all contiguous with Montage's Koné Gold Project as shown in Figure 1. Taken together with Montage's existing land holdings they form a block of 1,800km2 in exploration permits and a further 458km2 in exploration permit applications for a total of 2,258km2.
The Gbongogo area has been explored by Randgold (Barrick) since 2013 and the Sissédougou and Sisséplé areas by Endeavour and previously La Mancha Resources since 2010. The Mankono Joint Venture was formed in 2017 and exploration has been managed by Barrick since that time.
The database of the historic work includes over 36,000 soil samples, 15,500m of trenching and 31,000m of air core drilling. Notably only 6,000m of Reverse circulation ("RC") drilling and 8,560m of diamond core drilling has been completed most of which is on the Gbongogo prospect. Historic exploration spending on the combined land package is approximately US$20 million. Figure 2 shows the consolidated land package with target areas and highlighted results.
The Gbongogo prospect, which lies 30km north of Koné, hosts an initial Inferred Mineral Resource of 5.2Mt grading 2.1g/t for 351koz and is the primary target for resource expansion and upgrade. Montage expects that this prospect can be expanded quickly and has an initial program of 4,000m planned in pursuit of this objective.
Mineralization at Gbongogo is hosted within and on the margins of a plunging quartz diorite plug with a surface expression of only 250m by 100m (see Figure 4). Table 1 Table 1 shows intercepts from historic drilling and trenching results. Complete results are presented in Appendix 1 to this release.
Table 1: Drill and Trench Results from Gbongogo
Note: True widths vary between 60 and 100% of downhole intercepts with exception of down plunge holes. Intercepts for holes GBDDH002, GBDDH007 and GBDDH020 include un-assayed gaps, which have been assigned the average intercept grade.
High grades are controlled by two distinct groups of quartz-tourmaline veins with scope to develop the grade with well placed drilling. The plunging quartz diorite plug is also yet to be fully defined by drilling. Furthermore, given the small surface expression there is the potential for other similar intrusive bodies to be present within the north-south trend that hosts Gbongogo that could have been missed on widely spaced first pass exploration and it will be a priority to follow up in this area.
Initial Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate
Montage commissioned a Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") by MPR Geological Consultants of Perth, Australia ("MPR") based on the historic drill database. MPR estimated recoverable mineral resources using Multiple Indicator Kriging ("MIK") based on a dataset that includes 6,142.4m drilling (4,827.4m of diamond core and 1,315m of RC).
The Inferred MRE is reported within an optimized pit shell based on a US$1,500/oz gold price and is shown below at a range of cut-off grades. A cut-off grade of 1.2g/t is the base case scenario.
Table 2: Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate by Cut-off Grade
Notes
- Inferred Mineral Resources are reported in accordance with NI 43-101 with an effective date of the 22nd of April 2022, for the Gbongogo deposit within the Koné Gold Project. The Inferred MRE was prepared by Mr. Jonathan Abbott of MPR Geological Consultants of Perth, Australia who is a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.
- The inferred MRE is reported on a 100% basis and is constrained within an optimal pit shell generated at a gold price of US$1,500/ounce.
- The Mineral Resources are classified according to the "CIM" definition of Inferred Mineral Resources.
- The estimates at 1.2g/t cut-off grade represent the base case or preferred scenario.
- Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
- Also see "Mineral Resource Modeling and Estimation Assumptions – Gbongogo".
Soil sampling across the Mankono project area has defined more than 65km of soil anomalism (see Figure 2). Follow up exploration in the form of pitting, trenching and aircore drilling was widely spaced due to the nature of the desired target size but has identified a total of twelve targets, in addition to Gbongogo, where drilling has intersected mineralization with width and grade (see Table 3). These represent immediate drill targets where Montage will move quickly to drilling.
Table 3: Highlight Drill and Exploration Results from Mankono Prospects (excluding Gbongogo)
Notes: Insufficient data is available at this time to determine true widths for reported intercepts. See Appendix 1 for table of complete results.
Apart from the targets that have already received drill testing, the soil anomalies clearly map out the mineralized structures and these will be followed up in detail. Most notably:
- Northern strike extension of Koné soil anomaly
- Yeré main 12km strike length soil anomaly
- Kagon soil anomaly
Strategic Plan
Montage is concentrated on district exploration for the next 12 months. The primary objective being to add multiple high-grade satellite deposits to an expanded Koné Gold Project. A summary of the Company's operational strategy is as follows:
1. Gbongogo Exploration Permit (400km2; part of Mankono acquisition)
- Resource expansion drilling at Gbongogo prospect
- Follow-up of anomalism and prior drill results at Bafretou, Dokeka and Lokolo targets
2. Sissédougou Exploration Permit (387km2; part of Mankono acquisition)
- Initial follow-up of priority targets that suggest resource potential
- Targets: Sissédougou, Koban North, Yeré, and Sena
- 3,000m of RC drilling planned with 5,000m to 10,000m of aircore
- Soil sampling of untested areas
3. Sisséplé North Permit (321km2; existing KGP)
- New permit recently awarded to Montage
- Local operating base has been established that will facilitate exploration in northern portion of expanded project area
- Soil sampling program on an 800m by 50m grid targeting the entire permit in progress
- Two new +100ppb anomalies >2km strike defined and being followed up
4. Koné Exploration Permit (225km2; existing KGP)
- 5,000m of aircore drilling to test strike extension at Petit Yao
Environmental & Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") and Economic Analysis
The Company continues to engage with various government ministries regarding key aspects of the project and which will form a significant component of the ESIA review and validation process. As part of the planned programs in Mankono the Company will commence baseline environmental studies and expand its successful CSR program to the wider project area. In parallel with exploration, Montage will undertake the necessary test work and engineering studies to incorporate Gbongogo and other new potential deposits into a revised economic study on the KGP in 2023.
Other Corporate Updates
The Company is pleased to announce that its common shares began trading as of September 1, 2022 on the OTCQX Best Market under the ticker symbol MAUTF, which is an upgrade from the OTC Pink Sheets where Montage previously traded. Montage will continue to trade on the TSX Venture Exchange as its primary listing under the symbol MAU.
The Company also announces that shareholders approved certain amendments to the incentive stock option plan of the Company (99.92% For and 0.08% Against) at the Annual General and Special Meeting held on June 23, 2022. The amendments were made to comply with the TSX Venture Exchange's updated rules regarding option plans. For a full copy of the Plan, please see the Management Information Circular dated May 15, 2022 which was filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com on June 2, 2022 and is available on the Company's website at www.montagegoldcorp.com.
The Company also announces that it has granted an of aggregate of 200,000 incentive stock options to a Côte d'Ivoire based legal advisor to the Company. The options are exercisable, subject to vesting provisions, over a period of three years at a price of C$0.60 per share and subject to the successful closing of the Mankono Transaction.
An Inferred MRE was undertaken by MPR who estimated recoverable mineral resources using Multiple Indicator Kriging ("MIK") based on a dataset that includes 6,142.4m drilling data (4,827.4m of core and 1,315m of RC) supplied by Montage in April 2022. The MRE has been classified in the inferred category and reported in accordance with NI 43-101 and classifications adopted by CIM Council in May 2014 and has an effective data of the 22nd of April 2022.
Inferred Mineral Resources were estimated for Gbongogo by MIK of two metre down-hole composited gold grades from RC and diamond drilling. Estimated resources include a variance adjustment to give estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources above gold cut-off grades for selective mining unit dimensions of 5m by 10m by 5m (cross strike, strike, vertical).
Micromine software was used for data compilation, domain wire framing and coding of composite values and GS3M was used for resource estimation. The resulting estimates were imported into Micromine for pit optimization and resource reporting.
Inferred Mineral Resources have been estimated within a single mineralized envelope 675m in length and up to 120m in true width.
The MRE includes bulk densities of 1.30, 2.40 and 2.66 t/bcm for oxide, transition and fresh Quartz Diorite, respectively, and 1.30, 2.10 and 2.62 t/bcm for the surrounding sediments. This is on the basis of 702 immersion density measurements performed by the Barrick/Endeavour on diamond core samples.
To satisfy the definition of Mineral Resources having reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction, the estimates are constrained within an optimal pit and generated from the following key assumptions and parameters:
- Gold price of US$1,500/oz
- The MIK model is a recoverable resource model and mining recovery and dilution are taken into account within the modelling process.
- Processing recovery of 93.9% in oxide, 91.3% in transition material and 89.2% in fresh rock.
- Overall slope angle of 30° in oxide rock, 40° in transition and 55° in fresh material
- Average mining costs of US$2.74 per tonne
- Processing costs (including G&A) of US$7.41, US$7.58 and US$8.67 for oxide, transition and fresh material respectively based on the KGP DFS process costs
- Haulage costs of US$5.00/t
- Total selling costs (includes state and third-party royalties) of US$90/oz
The pit shell constraining the estimates extends over approximately 670m of strike to a maximum depth of around 220m.
All drilling was carried out under the supervision of Barrick personnel and utilized the following procedures and methodologies:
- RC drilling used a 5.25-inch face sampling pneumatic hammer with 1m samples collected into 60 litre plastic bags. Samples were kept dry by maintaining enough air pressure to exclude groundwater inflow. If water ingress exceeded the air pressure, RC drilling was stopped, and drilling converted to diamond core tails. Once collected, RC samples were riffle split through a three-tier splitter to yield a 12.5% representative sample for submission to the analytical laboratory. The residual sample was stored at the drill site until assay results were received and validated. Field duplicates were collected by repeat splitting of the primary sample at an average frequency of around 1 duplicate per 10 primary samples.
- Diamond drill holes were drilled with PQ and HQ diamond drill bits. The core marked up and logged, and generally 1m samples (minimum 0.2m) were then cut into equal halves using a diamond saw. One half of the core was left in the original core box and stored in a secure location at the Barrick core yard at Fadiadougou. The other half was sampled, catalogued, and placed into sealed bags and securely stored at the site until shipment. Field duplicates were taken by crushing the half core sample to -2mm and splitting 50:50 using a riffle splitter at an average frequency of around 1 duplicate per 24 primary samples.
- Samples were shipped to the SGS laboratory at Tongon or the Bureau Veritas Laboratory in Abidjan for preparation and assay. Both SGS and Bureau Veritas are independent of Barrick and Montage.
- At both laboratories, samples were dried and crushed by the laboratory to -2mm and a 1.5kg split prepared from the coarse crushed material for pulverizing to -75um. Gold analysis was undertaken using a 50-gram charge and fire assay with an atomic absorption finish. Quality control procedures included systematic insertion of blanks (Around 1:45), duplicates (1:24) and standards (Around 1:45) into the sample stream. Gold assay results of these QAQC samples show acceptable levels of precision and accuracy, with no indication of significant contamination, supporting the reliability of the primary data with sufficient confidence for the current resource estimates and exploration activities.
- Montage and MPR consider that the resource data has been sufficiently verified to form the basis of the current MRE and that the database is adequate for the current estimates. The author and Mr. Abbot consider that the data verification process included no limitations or failures

GUANGZHOU, China, Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The China Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fair 2022 (CIEF 2022) with the theme of "Science and Technology Innovation for Smart Future" kicked off in Guangzhou on September 2. This year's CIEF will last three days from September 2 to 4.
The CIEF 2022 is co-hosted by China Association for Science and Technology, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the Central Committee of Jiusan Society, the People's Government of Guangdong Province, and the People's Government of Guangzhou Municipality, and co-organized by the People's Government of Guangzhou Municipality and Asia Digital Group. Held both online and offline, the CIEF 2022 has set up more than 20 exhibition areas for new-generation information technology, biomedicine and health, etc. It has established a high-quality and efficient digital display matchmaking platform through technical means such as AI, metaverse and immersive interaction to achieve data sharing, information exchange and accurate matchmaking.
Nearly 9,000 projects from all over the world participate in the CIEF 2022. During the CIEF 2022, more than 100 events such as innovation competition and achievement auction will be held offline to promote the commercialization and trading in scientific and technological achievements.
The value of projects for commercialization this year is expected to be no less than 12 billion yuan
"We must improve the mechanism for the transfer and commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, and pursue a path that integrates the innovation chain, industrial chain, talent chain, policy chain and capital chain," stressed General Secretary Xi Jinping.
As a brand event for showcasing the achievements of the widespread innovation and entrepreneurship strategy and a key service platform for the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, the CIEF is committed to covering the "last mile" in the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, providing services for innovation and entrepreneurship, promoting the agglomeration of factors of innovation, and facilitating the integration of government, enterprises, university, research institutes, financial support, intermediary service and users.
Since 2015, the CIEF has exhibited over 16,000 pieces of innovation and entrepreneurship achievements, and over 23,000 projects have been released on the achievement trading platform. The value of commercialized projects exceeds 60 billion yuan.
The CIEF 2022 focuses on the fields such as new-generation IT, intelligent and new energy vehicles, biomedicine and health, AI and digital economy. Livestreaming studios on online exhibition hall have been launched. Special events such as auction of achievements, technology transfer, project roadshow, and forum summit will be held to assist in the commercialization of more innovation and entrepreneurship achievements in Guangzhou and even China as a whole.
During the CIEF 2022, more than 2,700 exhibitors will participate in the online exhibition, and nearly 9,000 pieces of achievements will be involved in online display and matchmaking. It is expected that the value of commercialized achievements for the year will be no less than 12 billion yuan.
The functions of the online platform increase
This year's CIEF has extensively upgraded the online platform to create a higher-level "online" CIEF. The new platform highlights the new model and new experience for digital exhibition. It builds exclusive 3D booths and livestreaming studios for exhibitors through new technology use scenarios, virtual metaverse and immersive interaction at the online exhibition halls. It also fulfils functions such as online analysis of enterprise demands, intelligent matching, evaluation of achievements, signing of contract for intended cooperation, and service tracking.
The online platform of the CIEF will be connected with "Innovation China" platform. It provides services such as "expert pool", "project pool" and "demand pool" to bring together innovative resources such as enterprises, talents, services and finance. The CIEF will carry out more than 100 online and offline roadshows and matchmakings every year as a CIEF that "stays open throughout the year".
The increase in the functions of the online platform promotes the integration of online and offline CIEF. "Online" and offline functions will further complement each other, so that achievements will be used in more areas in a targeted manner, and more scientific and technological achievements will be commercialized, generate benefits in a market-oriented manner, and empower economic and social development.
Give full play to unique advantages and implement Nansha Plan
In June this year, the State Council issued the Master Plan of Guangzhou Nansha on Deepening Comprehensive Cooperation between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao with Global Perspective (hereinafter referred to as the "Nansha Plan"), which is another major decision and plan made by the central government on the building of the Greater Bay Area from an overall and strategic perspective. According to the Nansha Plan, active efforts will be made to undertake the transfer and commercialization of innovation achievements in the fields such as electronic engineering, computer science, marine science, AI and smart cities in Hong Kong, and build a high ground for the transfer and commercialization of scientific and technological achievements in South China.
In order to promote the implementation of the Nansha Plan, the CIEF will leverage its unique advantages to help Nansha accelerate the building of an industry cooperation base for scientific and technological innovation, build a major strategic platform that keeps its foothold in the Bay Area and is oriented to Hong Kong and Macao with a global vision, and help Guangdong build a strategic fulcrum for a new development pattern.
The CIEF 2022 has set up the Nansha District Achievements Exhibition Area, an online platform for the CIEF, to introduce Nansha District policy on science and technology innovation, industrial policies as well as technological achievements, promote the gathering of national technological innovation resources in Nansha, and promote the establishment of a routine liaison mechanism for collaborative technological innovation with Hong Kong and Macao.
Exhibition area for popular science products and technologies set up for the first time
In a speech delivered at the National Science and Technology Innovation Conference, the Conference of the Academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering and the Ninth National Congress of China Association for Science and Technology, General Secretary Xi Jinping stressed that "technological innovation and scientific popularization are important for pursuing innovative development. Equal importance should be attached to science popularization and technological innovation."
Without a general improvement in scientific literacy, it will be difficult to cultivate innovation personnel of a higher caliber and rapidly commercialize scientific and technological achievements. The CIEF 2022 set up an exhibition area for popular science products and technologies for the first time in order to aid the commercialization of scientific and technological achievements.
At exhibition area, nearly 200 exhibitors showcase a wide range of popular science projects. A "close" contact with popular science resources and knowledge can stimulate the general public's interest and enthusiasm in science and technology, and then help them develop scientific quality and embrace scientific thinking.
The CIEF 2022 is committed to the domestic commercialization of scientific and technological achievements, and also works to expose more people to science and technology, so as to lay the foundation for innovative development, and maintain the country's innovation capacity.

Amidst Inflationary Concerns, Baking Mixes, Soups and Prepared Foods Show the Biggest Gains
Retailers Can Leverage Responsive Marketing to Target Shoppers More Precisely
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla., July 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With rising inflation and ongoing supply chain issues continuing to unsettle consumers, shopper intelligence leader Catalina is closely tracking the sales impact on grocery retailers' private/store brands.
Private brand categories showing the biggest gains year to date through July 17, 2022, per Catalina's Shopper Intelligence Platform, include Baking Mixes (up 40%), Soup (up 17%), Prepared Foods (up 12%), Dried Vegetables (up 11%), Canned Fish (up 10%), Cereal and Baby Food (both up 6%) and Deodorant (up 4%).
Among the insights Catalina gleaned from its recent private brand analysis:
- The rise in unit sales of store brand staples like canned fish and soup indicates consumers are looking for affordable lunch and dinner solutions.
- With the USDA reporting brand name cereal prices rising between 10-11% in 2022, private brand alternatives are benefiting.
- While the pandemic-fueled trend of scratch baking has declined, baking mixes remain popular, with shoppers increasingly opting for store brand mixes (up 40%).
- As more consumers return to the office, purchases of affordable personal grooming items like deodorant as well as prepared foods are also on the rise.
- Shoppers also are scooping up private brand baby food and formula, looking for alternatives amidst a nationwide shortage of brand name products in this category.
"The data clearly indicates that shoppers have become more price-sensitive and value-driven in recent months," said Sean Murphy, Chief Data & Analytics Officer. "Our platform powers these sorts of insights, helping us advise our retailer and CPG customers on the most effective shopper audiences, marketing messages and offers to measurably impact sales."
Private Brands Can Leverage Responsive Marketing to Deliver Value More Efficiently
As outlined in Catalina's recently published Inflation Guide, private brand marketers can use ultra-precise personalization and real-time responsiveness to deliver value to shoppers. Catalina's responsive marketing portfolio of solutions includes: sequential marketing, which uses a sequence of ads to tell a brand story over time with planned touchpoints to ultimately drive conversion; retargeting, which enables marketers to segment audiences, hone messaging, and bring consumers back into the brand conversation; and audience suppression, which keeps specific people or groups from receiving an ad if they have already purchased a brand – or a competitor's brand – reducing redundancy and ensuring media efficiency.

Aston Martin is celebrating its 110th anniversary throughout 2023, and among the celebrations was a gathering of 110 Aston Martins and their owners at the Silverstone Circuit during the past weekend’s British Grand Prix.
The cars, which made a celebratory lap, spanned 11 decades from Aston Martin’s history, with the oldest being a 1921 A3 recognized as the third Aston Martin ever built and the oldest survivor of the marque’s cars.
Also present was Aston Martin’s latest car, the DB12 grand tourer, plus numerous iconic cars including the DB5 and Valkyrie hypercar. There were also rare models such as the Valkyrie AMR Pro track car, Toyota iQ-based Cygnet, and recent V12 Speedster. The event turned out to be a record for the highest number of Aston Martins in a single gathering.
Keeping things civil were F1’s official safety and medical cars, supplied by Aston Martin in the form of the Vantage and DBX707, respectively.
Aston Martin used the backdrop of the British Grand Prix to formally open the new 400,000-square-foot AMR Technology Campus located at the Silverstone Circuit and serving as the location of both the F1 team and an R&D center.
Aston Martin also announced plans to continue its 110th anniversary celebrations with the reveal of limited-edition model later this month.
Aston Martin was founded in London in 1913 by entrepreneurs and avid racing fans Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. The two were already working together selling cars manufactured by the British brand Singer, but in 1913 they started work on their car, which would be recognized as the first Aston Martin, the 1915 Coal Scuttle.
Prototypes were tested at the regular hill climbs that took place at Aston Clinton, where the “Aston” portion of Aston Martin’s name was derived. Today, that racing spirit continues as Aston Martin competes in Formula 1, where it is currently third in the constructors’ standings and one its drivers, Fernando Alonso, ranks third in the drivers’ standings.

World Redhead Day celebrates people who have naturally red hair every year on May 26.
There are a lot of interesting facts about people who have red hair. So in honor of World Redhead Day, VERIFY is fact-checking three fast facts about redheads.
THE SOURCES
QUESTION #1
Do redheads naturally produce more vitamin D?
THE ANSWER
Yes, redheads naturally produce more vitamin D.
WHAT WE FOUND
The same genetic trait that causes red hair also makes redheads more sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light, according to UCI Health. But that sensitivity also allows redheads' bodies to produce more vitamin D, which is essential to bone development and good health.
A person’s body generates vitamin D when the sun's ultraviolet B (UVB) rays penetrate the top layer of the skin, Health says. The UVB rays interact with a protein in a person’s skin (7-dehydrocholesterol, or 7-DHC) and activate a process to convert the protein into vitamin D3.
In 2020, researchers at Charles University and the Institute of Endocrinology in Prague, Czech Republic, found that redheads are more efficient at synthesizing vitamin D.
QUESTION #2
Is there an annual redhead festival?
THE ANSWER
Yes, there is an annual redhead festival in the Netherlands.
WHAT WE FOUND
Tens of thousands of redheads from over 80 countries gather in the Netherlands every summer for the annual Redhead Days international festival. It is said to be the oldest and largest redhead festival in the world.
Everyone, including non-redheads, is welcome to attend the free, weekend-long festival. The only activity that is exclusively for natural redheads is the big group photoshoot, which happens on the last day of the event.
This year's Redhead Days festival will take place in Spoorpark, Tilburg, the Netherlands, from Friday, Aug.25 to Sunday, Aug. 27, 2023.
QUESTION #3
Are redheads with blue eyes rare?
THE ANSWER
Yes, redheads with blue eyes are rare.
WHAT WE FOUND
When you meet a redhead with blue eyes, you are looking at the rarest color combination of all human beings, according to the University of Melbourne, a public research university located in Melbourne, Australia, and Healthline.
About 17% of the world’s population has blue eyes, and an estimated 1-2% of people worldwide are said to have red hair. This means that the odds of having both red hair and blue eyes are around 0.17%, Mark Elgar, Ph.D., an evolutionary biology professor at the University of Melbourne, said in 2018.
Healthline says that gene characteristics fall into two categories: recessive and dominant — and a person’s parents share the blueprint of many of their features, from hair color to personality, in their genes.
Hair color is influenced by multiple genes, and dominant genes generally win out against recessive genes. That’s why brown hair and brown eyes, which are both dominant, make up such a large percentage of hair-eye color combinations.
But the red hair and blue eye combination is so unusual because it is the result of two different sets of DNA instructions, or mutations, happening in the same person, according to Elgar.
“The mutations occurred tens of thousands of years ago, and have now become established as different versions or variants of the genes that help determine our skin and eye color,” Elgar said.
“Red hair and blue eyes are both recessive traits which means a person needs to inherit both of the genes for red hair and blue eyes, from both parents. In contrast, brown hair and brown eyes are dominant traits, which is why they are much more prevalent,” Elgar continued. | https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/verify/fast-facts/world-redhead-day-may-26-vitamin-d-red-hair-blue-eyes-redhead-days-festival/536-5dd684a5-ae93-4a24-bfba-39bc127b17f5 | 2023-05-26 19:22:43 | 1 | https://www.ktvb.com/article/news/verify/fast-facts/world-redhead-day-may-26-vitamin-d-red-hair-blue-eyes-redhead-days-festival/536-5dd684a5-ae93-4a24-bfba-39bc127b17f5 |
TRAVERSE CITY — The Grand Traverse County board will hold a special meeting to consider resetting the date of a hearing for two Bay Area Transportation Authority board members recently accused of willful neglect of duty by the county board.
The hearing is the first step in having BATA board Chair Richard Cochrun and Secretary Robert Fudge — who were both appointed by the county board — removed from their posts.
The special meeting is set for 11 a.m. today, March 8. The hearing is now set for April 5; board action would move up three weeks to March 15.
March 15 is also the deadline for applications for two newly-created, at-large members for the BATA board, which it voted to increase from seven to nine members in February. The at-large members are to be chosen by the BATA board.
County commission Vice Chair Brad Jewett requested the willful neglect charges last week after accusing Cochrun and Fudge of trying to "cherry-pick" board members who will vote according to BATA Executive Director Kelly Dunham's wishes. Jewett, who has been on the BATA board for five years, also says no board should appoint its own members.
"We voted our opinion," Fudge said Tuesday. "It's Brad Jewett's opinion that our board doesn't have the authority to appoint its own members, that it should be done by the county board."
Cochrun said Jewett, Joe Underwood, who is new to the BATA board, and others are trying to retain control of the board.
"They're trying to move the hearing up because they want Bob (Fudge) and I off the board so they can appoint two new people, which would give them a majority," Cochrun said. "So it's a power move."
With that majority they could also appoint the two new at-large members. Currently four BATA board members are appointed by the GTC board, two by the Leelanau County board and one at-large member who has always been appointed by the BATA board.
The next regular BATA meeting is set for April 27, which is likely when the two at-large members will be appointed, unless the board calls a special meeting before then, Dunham said.
"A number of other boards select community representatives that are not directly appointed by the county commissioners, but are selected to complete the well-rounded intention defined by the BATA board," Dunham said.
Terry Vandercook is the executive director of Networks Northwest, a 10-county organization that gets the majority of its funding from federal and state grants. As such, board meetings follow the Michigan Open Meetings Act.
Federal guidelines say that board members must be drawn from certain sectors of the community, but beyond that, the board is autonomous in choosing those members, he said.
"Our board does have the authority to appoint directors to the board itself," Vandercook said.
County board Chair Rob Hentschel last week said the self-appointed board members are not accountable to any elected official, as other board members are.
Dunham said Tuesday that board members are accountable to the taxpayers and committed to transparency in several ways, including being reliant on voter support every five years, oversight by the Michigan Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration, financial, procedural and compliance audits and board meetings that are being video recorded and are available to the public.
She also believes she should have been told about charges the county board planned to bring against Cochrun and Fudge.
"The motion to allege neglect on the part of two sitting board members at the last GTC meeting should have been shared with BATA’s executive director in advance," Dunham said.
Three board members called for the special meeting — Jewett, Scott Sieffert and Penny Morris. Morris said her reasoning for wanting to move the meeting up is that there could be a lot of large items on the April 5 meeting.
"We have a potential to have a really packed agenda in early April," Morris said. "I just saw the wisdom in having more time and bandwidth to deal with the issue."
BATA is an independent authority that gets no funding from the county. About 38 percent of its funding comes from the federal government, about 19 percent from the state, 34 percent from a voted millage, and the rest from fares and bus advertisements.
Voters in November approved by a significant margin a five-year, 0.4788-mill tax that will bring in about $4.78 million this year.
At the BATA board retreat about a year ago, consultant Elaine Wood, founder of Woodside Strategies, offered recommendations on changes that could be made to give the board better representation of the community. She was paid $25,000.
Recommendations included forming a Governance Committee, adding policies and moving to nine members. The board currently has no member to represent riders; organizations such as TART, Norte and Groundworks; and Traverse City.
Cochrun said he is looking for documentation of the county's charges, which are not clear to him.
"I'm confused as to what I did that was willful neglect," he said. "I voted the way our consultant recommended to make things better."
Cochrun said his vote was no different than when a county board member votes the way its administrator or a consultant recommends. Calls to Jewett and Sieffert were not returned by deadline. | https://www.record-eagle.com/news/local_news/special-county-meeting-aims-to-reset-bata-hearing/article_ca32a894-bcfb-11ed-a2c1-ff5350aac904.html | 2023-03-07 23:04:18 | 1 | https://www.record-eagle.com/news/local_news/special-county-meeting-aims-to-reset-bata-hearing/article_ca32a894-bcfb-11ed-a2c1-ff5350aac904.html |

‘I could use a hug’: Deputies help distressed driver
MACOMB COUNTY, Mich. (Gray News) - A pair of deputies in Michigan took the time to help a driver who needed emotional support, providing hugs and comfort.
Macomb County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call earlier in February about a driver on the side of the road, as seen in video footage released by the sheriff’s department. A passerby was concerned the man had passed out at the wheel.
But when Deputies Jake Thorne and Fred Parisek investigated, they found the driver was emotionally distraught after having a very bad day. The sheriff’s department said on Facebook that the man had several stressors overwhelming him but didn’t want to hurt himself.
Thorne asked what he and Parisek could do to help.
“I could use a hug,” the driver said, through tears.
Thorne gave him one.
“Seems like you got a lot going on, man. It’s all right,” the deputy said.
Then, he and Parisek stayed on scene for 20 minutes sharing stories and comforting the driver. They proved him with resources that offer assistance, and the sheriff’s department said Thorne even offered his own contact information.
Thorne and the driver hugged again before they went their separate ways, according to the department.
“Please remember that we are all human. We all have good days, bad days and days that we feel we might not make it through. But you can,” wrote the sheriff’s department on Facebook.
Thorne told WWJ-TV he spoke to the man again on Monday, and he was doing much better. He also thanked Thorne for caring.
As a reminder, if you ever feel sad or need someone to talk to, you can call 988 to connect with a mental health professional who cares.

PHOENIX – Devin Booker scored 47 points, including 25 in a spectacular third quarter, to lead the Phoenix Suns past the Los Angeles Clippers 136-130 on Tuesday night and win the Western Conference first-round playoff series in five games.
The Clippers didn't go quietly, nearly coming back from a 20-point deficit early in the fourth.
Los Angeles had multiple chances to tie in the final three minutes, but could never convert. Durant made a layup to push Phoenix's lead to 134-130 and then made two free throws to put the Suns up six with 31.3 seconds left.
Durant finished with 31 points while Deandre Ayton had 21 points and 11 rebounds. Booker shot 19 of 27 from the field.
Durant's final free throws capped a wild back-and-forth second half that saw the Clippers take a 71-61 lead early in the third.
But the Suns — led by Booker's stellar shot making — unleashed a powerful wave of offense, pouring in 50 points in the third quarter to take a 111-94 lead into the fourth. Booker made 10 of 11 shots in the rally, including three 3-pointers and a tomahawk fastbreak dunk.
The flustered Clippers had no answer until it was too late. Norman Powell led Los Angeles with 27 points while Mason Plumlee scored 20 off the bench.
It was a tough night for Russell Westbrook, who scored 14 points on 3 of 18 shooting and had a costly turnover in the final minute.
The Suns will play the top-seeded Denver Nuggets in the second round. Game 1 is Saturday in Denver.
The series took a turn last week when the Clippers announced Leonard had a sprained right knee. The two-time Finals MVP suffered the injury in Game 1 and played through it in Game 2, but his condition worsened.
He missed Games 3 and 4 and the Clippers lost both contests.
But Los Angeles stayed competitive in those games and Tuesday night continued that trend — for a while. The Clippers took a 70-61 halftime lead, led by Powell's 16 points. Ayton scored 18 for the Suns.
HISTORIC BOOK
Booker became just the third player in the past 25 seasons to score at least 25 points in a quarter during a playoff game. The others were Damian Lillard (25 in 2019) and Allen Iverson (26 in 2001).
TIP-INS
Suns: Backup guard Cam Payne played for the first time in the playoffs. He missed the first four games with a sore back. He played three minutes but didn't score. ... Hosted a 77th straight sellout, combining regular season and postseason games.
Clippers: Eight-time All-Star Paul George also missed the game with a sprained right knee. He hasn't played since March 21. ... Had a 26-16 rebounding advantage in the first half. ... Backup guard Bones Hyland scored nine points in the first half.

Racine man convicted in 1986 killing of 22-year-old woman
A Racine man has been convicted in the 1986 killing of a young woman whose body was found in a swamp at a Green Bay nature area
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A Racine man has been convicted in the 1986 killing of a young woman whose body was found in a swamp at a Green Bay nature area.
Lou A. Griffin, 67, pleaded no contest Friday in Brown County Circuit Court to a charge of homicide by reckless conduct, and a judge found him guilty. His sentencing is set for March 27.
Griffin entered his plea as potential jurors were reporting to court Friday ahead of Monday's expected start of his trial in the death of Lisa Holstead, 22.
Griffin was originally charged in October 2020 with first-degree intentional homicide in Holstead's killing. Her body was found in a swamp in a Green Bay nature area in August 1986.
Holstead's slaying had been Brown County’s oldest unsolved murder case.
Investigators said that at the time of her killing Griffin lived within a few miles of where her body was found.
Griffin was identified as a suspect in Holstead's slaying after Green Bay police sent DNA evidence found on her body to a company that performs forensic genetic genealogy testing. That testing provided information on the suspect's heritage and possible relatives.
Griffin was eventually placed under police surveillance and DNA that was collected from cigarettes and beer cans he had discarded matched the DNA collected in the murder case, police said.
Griffin told investigators he might have had sex with Holstead but denied killing her, police said. | https://www.kttc.com/2023/01/27/racine-man-convicted-1986-killing-22-year-old-woman/ | 2023-01-27 22:56:03 | 0 | https://www.kttc.com/2023/01/27/racine-man-convicted-1986-killing-22-year-old-woman/ |
DETROIT (AP) — Penguins captain Sidney Crosby become the 15th player in NHL history to reach 1,500 career points, scoring two goals and adding an assist in Pittsburgh’s crucial 5-1 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday.
Crosby has 550 goals and 950 assists and is the sixth-fastest player to hit the 1,500-point milestone, accomplishing it in his 1,188th game. The milestone came on a power-play goal at 3:01 of the third period, with Kris Letang and Jake Guentzel assisting.
Crosby became the 12th player in league history to reach 90 points in his age 35 season or older.
Alex Nylander, Danton Heinen and Evgeni Malkin also scored for the Penguins, who are fighting for one of the last playoff berths in the Eastern Conference with less than a week left in the regular season.
The Penguins are in danger of seeing their run of 16 straight Stanley Cup playoff berths snapped. It’s the longest active streak among the major North American sports leagues.
Goaltender Tristan Jarry had 19 saves and improved to 3-0-0 in his career against the Red Wings.
Pius Suter scored for the Red Wings in the second period, his 14th of the season and one shy of his career best set last season. Detroit goalie Ville Husso finished with 23 saves.
Nylander, who was recalled from the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins on Friday, opened the scoring at 9:25 of the first period. It was his first goal since scoring for the Chicago Blackhawks against the San Jose Sharks in March 2020.
STREAKING
Detroit forward Lucas Raymond extended his point streak to four games with his assist on Suter’s goal. He has 1-5-6 in that span. … With his assist on Crosby’s milestone goal, Letang now has 27 points (7-20-27) in 30 career games against Detroit. … Malkin’s goal gives him 41 points (17-24-41) in 27 games against Detroit.
UP NEXT
Penguins: Host the Blackhawks on Tuesday night.
Red Wings: Host the Dallas Stars on Monday night.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — The owner of an exotic animal breeding business in Florida has been sentenced to five years' probation for illegally selling a capuchin monkey to singer Chris Brown.
A federal indictment doesn't name Brown, only identifying the buyer as a celebrity in California, but key details match an Associated Press report that wildlife agents seized the singer's pet monkey after serving a search warrant on his Los Angeles home in early January 2018. Brown also was identified in court Wednesday at the sentencing hearing in Florida for the monkey breeder, Jimmy Hammonds.
Wildlife agents moved in after Brown shared a picture of the capuchin monkey with millions of his followers on Instagram. Prosecutors later dropped charges of possessing the monkey without a permit after Brown agreed to forfeit his rights to Fiji and pay $35,000 for the monkey's care.
As for the monkey breeder, a federal judge in Tampa on Wednesday ordered Hammonds to pay a $90,000 fine to a fund operated by the U.S Fish & Wildlife Service. Also, he has to serve eight months of his probation in home confinement.
According to the indictment, Brown paid $12,650 to Hammonds, who operated The Monkey Whisperer Ranch in Parrish, Florida. Under both Florida and California laws, it is illegal to transfer a capuchin monkey without a permit.
Hammonds pleaded guilty to conspiracy and three counts of violating the Endangered Species Act. Prosecutors said he also illegally sold endangered cotton-top tamarins to buyers in Alabama, South Carolina and Wisconsin while trying to disguise the sales.
Prosecutors had argued that Hammonds deserved more than a year of prison, citing the need to deter others from committing similar crimes.
“In addition to licensed money breeding activities, Hammonds frequently sold monkeys on the black market," they said in court papers. “Hammonds engaged in illicit business practices or schemes that involved a pattern of repeated illegal conduct."
Hammonds' lawyer described him “a hard working, law abiding member of the community" who helped people deal with alcohol addiction, and said none of the monkeys were treated inappropriately or caused any “adverse effects" on the ecosystems involved. | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/entertainment/article/Seller-of-monkey-to-LA-celebrity-sentenced-to-17230797.php | 2022-06-09 19:24:47 | 1 | https://www.beaumontenterprise.com/entertainment/article/Seller-of-monkey-to-LA-celebrity-sentenced-to-17230797.php |
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Having fans at training camp is not an annoyance to Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel.
It’s part of his story, a tale that involves how a lost hat led to him coaching in front of Dolphins fans for the first time Saturday at training camp.
The year was 1993, and the Denver Broncos were holding training camp in Greeley, Colorado. McDaniel was 10 years old, Greeley was home at the time and he was obsessed with the Broncos.
One day while jostling for an autograph from a player named Robert Delpino, McDaniel’s Charlotte Hornets hat got knocked away, never to be found again.
Broncos video coordinator Gary McCune went to a nearby mall and purchased a new hat to bring to the highly distraught boy the next day. McCune met McDaniel’s mother. They got married, a heartwarming story that made headlines in Denver.
McDaniel’s obsession with football only kept growing. He eventually became a Broncos ballboy. The rest, as they say, is history.
“I love having fans at practice,” McDaniel said. “It’s kind of true to my heart. Because that’s literally full circle. Training camp practice in Greeley, Colorado, for the Denver Broncos is where this whole thing for me started. There is a connection that I think you can have with the fans.”
Like all teams, the Dolphins will make a handful of practices open to fans during training camp. In the super-secretive world of the NFL, prying eyes are rarely a good thing, which is why teams err on the side of caution on public days and tend to keep things relatively basic.
“For all opponents watching, nothing that you see today will ever run again,” McDaniel said. “It is a challenge. You have to think about it. And you just have to be very mindful of it. Listen, people are going to have an idea of what you are and how you play. And a lot of people do similar things in the National Football League with regard to scheme. But if there’s certain things that you have lined up for certain opponents, you have to plan around that.
“The good thing is when you’re not going to be able to control what gets out into the interwebs. So, you do adjust, to a degree.”
That said, the Dolphins were happy to put on a show.
They might be about a half-century removed from their last championship — plans were unveiled Saturday for the anniversary celebration of the 1972 perfect season — but the support never seems to be lacking. Season tickets will sell out for the first time in team history in the next few days, and the Dolphins will soon have their first-ever waiting list for tickets.
McDaniel has made sure players are aware of the support, noting that they shouldn’t feel entitled to have it automatically.
“Our fans always just come with the energy, no matter what we’re doing on the field,” linebacker Jerome Baker said. “I always appreciate that the fans, the community and the organization, they’re all just behind us as a whole.”
The Dolphins did their part to feed into the energy for the first open session Saturday. When the team emerged from the indoor facility and came out for stretching, they greeted by a standing ovation from fans who started arriving more than 2 hours earlier for seats in the bleachers. It didn’t take long for wide receiver Tyreek Hill to rile the fans up with a backflip and a short speech.
“Get your popcorn ready,” Hill said.
Offensive lineman Blaise Andries then smashed a couple cans of beverages into his head, and practice was off and running. Fans cheered stretching, cheered Tua Tagovailoa completing short passes, completing 30-yard passes. They cheered just about anything.
“It’s a competitive advantage,” McDaniel said. “It’s kind of why you do what you do. … It’s just another reason for us to go about our daily process with a fine-tooth comb, to make sure that we pay them back for their investment in us.”
And maybe there was a 10-year-old kid in the stands who, 29 years from now, will be coaching in the NFL.
“That’s why I didn’t allow any ambitious children to practice,” McDaniel said.

Bank earns top score on annual benchmarking report for fourth straight year
BUFFALO, N.Y., July 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- M&T Bank has been recognized as one of the Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion for the fourth consecutive year by the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and Disability:IN, a nonprofit resource for businesspeople with disabilities.
M&T earned the top score in the 2022 Disability Equality Index (DEI), a benchmarking report developed by the AAPD and Disability:IN to help businesses identify steps they can take to achieve disability inclusion and equality in their workplaces. The DEI was developed in consultation with disability advocates and business leaders and measures key performance indicators including culture and leadership, enterprise-wide access, staffing and recruitment, community engagement, supplier diversity, workplace accommodations and information technology capabilities.
Any company that scores 80% or above on the DEI is recognized on the Best Places to Work for Disability Inclusion list. M&T has earned a 100% each year since 2019.
"M&T is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team focused on delivering the best service for our customers, colleagues and communities," said Julie Urban, M&T's chief auditor and senior executive sponsor of the bank's Disability Advocacy Network Resource Group. "Our performance on the DEI report this year is once again validation that M&T is a place where all individuals can succeed in an inclusive, accommodating environment."
As part of M&T's employee and community engagement efforts, the bank operates more than 70 employee resource groups – including the Disability Advocacy Network (DAN) Resource Group -- in communities throughout its footprint. The DAN Resource Group includes about 700 employees.
Earlier this year, M&T's DAN Resource Group launched an initiative to map the experiences of employees with disabilities and other DAN members at the bank through a series of surveys and interviews. Insights from the interviews will be used to help M&T achieve its 2025 Diversity, Inclusion & Belonging Vision for employees and customers.
The DAN Resource Group also holds events during which its members can share their experiences living with a disability – either first-hand or affecting a family member -- during hour-long virtual sessions that cover topics such as accessibility issues, anxiety, depression and more.
M&T offers all employees web-based disability awareness training that raises awareness of the challenges people with disabilities face and is intended to foster more constructive and productive interactions with people with disabilities in the workplace.
"The only way M&T can provide a best-in-class customer experience is by providing a best-in-class employee experience," said Glenn Jackson, M&T's chief diversity officer. "When our employees are empowered to be their best selves and empathetic to challenges their colleagues face, we can truly understand what it takes to make a difference in people's lives throughout the diverse communities we serve."
About M&T

About the Disability Equality Index
The Disability Equality Index (DEI) is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that helps companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions that they can take to achieve disability inclusion and equality. Each company receives a score, on a scale of zero (0) to 100, with those earning 80 and above recognized as a "Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion."
The DEI is a joint initiative of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation's largest disability rights organization, and Disability:IN, the global business disability inclusion network, to collectively advance the inclusion of people with disabilities. The organizations are complementary and bring unique strengths that make the project relevant and credible to corporations and the disability community.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — One of the former Louisville Metro Police officers charged in the Department of Justice's investigation into the death of Breonna Taylor pleaded guilty to a federal conspiracy charge Tuesday.
Prosecutors say Kelly Goodlett conspired with former LMPD detective Joshua Jaynes to create a falsified warrant for Taylor's apartment and then tried to cover it up.
Earlier this month, the DOJ said Goodlett met Jaynes in his home garage, in May 2020, where they agreed to tell investigators a falsified story.
She will be back in court on Nov. 22 for sentencing.
Along with Goodlett and Jaynes, two other officers were charged in the FBI's investigation: former LMPD Detective Brett Hankison and former LMPD Sgt. Kyle Meany.
Meany was terminated from the department earlier this month.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Tom Brady will get his reps in joint practices against the Miami Dolphins this week instead of an exhibition game. Aaron Rodgers hasn’t played a preseason snap since 2018.
Justin Herbert is expected to again watch from the sideline this month.
Thirty of the NFL’s 32 teams will kick off their preseason schedules this week — the Raiders and Jaguars already played in the Hall of Fame Game — and many teams will hold their starters out until the games count in the standings.
For Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles, it’s an easy decision to keep the 45-year-old Brady on the bench when Tampa Bay hosts Miami on Saturday night. The teams will hold joint practices on Wednesday and Thursday. Those are valuable reps in a more controlled setting.
“Obviously, with one less preseason game right now, you need to get all the work in that you can get in,” Bowles said about joint practices.
Coaches have been getting used to the shortened preseason since the league and the NFL Players Association eliminated one exhibition game in the 2020 collective bargaining agreement. That year, there were no preseason games because of COVID-19.
“I thought we were OK last year with it,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “I felt pretty good about that. You’re going to make sure that your guys get enough work in there that are going to play. And at the same time, you try to balance it out where you can see the young guys. So, it’s always that fourth game that you got to see the young guys quite a bit. But again, we’ve worked that out where we’ll get a good look and we’ll see them.”
More teams are holding joint practices with their opponents ahead of games now that the preseason schedule has been cut down. A total of 23 teams are doing joint sessions with one team and seven clubs are doing it with two. Teams weren’t permitted to hold joint sessions last season because of COVID-19 protocols.
“Live exposure versus different people is a really good evaluation tool to see where we’re at,” Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon said.
Philadelphia will have joint practices with Cleveland and Miami.
First-year coaches have a slight disadvantage with one fewer game. Undrafted rookies and players competing for a roster spot miss out the most.
“I think every coach has their own philosophy,” Giants coach Brian Daboll said. “There’s people who don’t play their guys at all. There’s people that play them a little bit more than others. I think you have to do, what I’ve learned, is what’s best for your team. Being around different teams and different coaches, kind of what you need as your team and your team development. Being our first year, we’ll try to decide what’s best for us with our guys.”
Los Angeles Chargers coach Brandon Staley took a conservative approach in his first preseason in 2021 and plans to do the same so Herbert isn’t expected to take any snaps. The Chargers have joint sessions with Dallas next week.
“I think that it will be similar philosophically as last year,” Staley said. “If we know who you are, from an evaluation standpoint, we don’t need to evaluate you, then you’re probably not going to play in the preseason, but if there’s — whether it’s a role or whether it’s a young player that we feel like those experiences are going to benefit them, then that’s the direction that we’re going to go. Then, your health is a big, big factor in it, too.”
Packers coach Matt LaFleur has already said Rodgers won’t play Friday in Green Bay’s first two preseason games, but he has not ruled him out of the last one.
If he plays, Rodgers wants more than one series.
“I definitely don’t see any benefit to playing one series,” he said. “If we’re going to play, we should play and play a quarter, a couple of series, two to three series. Just suiting up for four plays, to me, is a waste.”
Raiders coach Josh McDaniels was pleased to have his team play the NFL preseason opener last week. The Raiders beat Jacksonville 27-11 with Derek Carr, Davante Adams and several starters sitting out.
“We’re grateful that we have four. I know somebody else may not like that, but I’m really happy that we have four opportunities to do this,” McDaniels said afterward. “There are definitely some things that we noticed during the game flow and operation that we can do better and fix, and we’ll focus on that this week.”

LOS ANGELES, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Endowment (TCE) announced today $30 million in initial investments from the Foundation's $300-million social bond.

The $30 million in initial grants kickstarts the social bond grantmaking to nonprofit organizations at the forefront of movements to advance racial justice and health equity in California.
"We envision a California that truly embodies the values of wellness, inclusion and shared prosperity," said Dr Robert Ross, President and CEO of The California Endowment.

- $897,605 to California Calls Education Fund to support the development of a power-building infrastructure center in California.
Over the next few years, The California Endowment will be allocating the Bond proceeds in grants to more nonprofit organizations working toward long-term power-building, grassroots community organizing, leadership development, and building economic power.
The California Endowment, a private, statewide health foundation, was established in 1996 to expand access to affordable, quality health care for underserved individuals and communities, and to promote fundamental improvements in the health status of all Californians. Headquartered in Downtown Los Angeles, The Endowment has regional offices in Sacramento, Oakland, Fresno and San Diego, with program staff working throughout the state. The Endowment challenges the conventional wisdom that medical settings and individual choices are solely responsible for people's health. The Endowment believes that health happens in neighborhoods, schools, and with prevention. Learn more at www.calendow.org.

FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) -- Fresno Police are searching for the gunman who shot a man in central Fresno.
Officers were called to Cornell and Hughes Avenues just before 4:30 am for a report of a shooting victim.
They found a man in his early 60s with a gunshot wound.
He was taken to Community Regional Medical Center in Downtown Fresno and is expected to recover.
Investigators say the victim was sitting in his car when the shooter approached and the two men got into an argument.
As the gunman left the scene, he fired five shots at the victim.
Police say the shooter drove off in a white sedan.
Sgt. Kham Xiong told Action News that, at this time, there is no indication that the victim was involved in any gangs.
Police are now requesting surveillance video from neighbors. | https://abc30.com/shooting-central-fresno-cornell-avenues-hughes-avenue/12401513/ | 2022-10-31 14:59:30 | 1 | https://abc30.com/shooting-central-fresno-cornell-avenues-hughes-avenue/12401513/ |
(The Hill) — The Human Rights Campaign, one of the U.S.’s biggest LGBTQ+ equality organizations, is calling on Anheuser-Busch, the maker of Bud Light, to publicly reaffirm its support for the transgender community. It comes after weeks of right-wing pushback over the brewing company’s recent partnership with transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
In a letter sent this week to Anheuser-Busch’s head of human resources, Jay Brown, a senior vice president at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, slammed the company’s response to the controversy as insufficient and cowardly.
“In this moment, it is absolutely critical for Anheuser-Busch to stand in solidarity with Dylan and the trans community,” reads the April 26 letter obtained by The Hill.
“However, when faced with anti-LGBTQ+ and transphobic criticism, Anheuser-Busch’s actions demonstrate a profound lack of fortitude in upholding its values of diversity, equity, and inclusion to employees, customers, shareholders and the LGBTQ+ community.”
“This not only lends credence to hate-filled rhetoric, it exposes Anheuser-Busch to long-term business impacts with employees and customers increasingly looking for steadfast commitment to LGBTQ+ corporate citizenships,” Brown wrote.
The Human Rights Campaign is the nation’s largest LGBTQ civil rights organization.
Conservative media personalities, musicians and politicians for nearly a month have waged a highly publicized campaign against Anheuser-Busch after Mulvaney shared a sponsored post to her Instagram page promoting Bud Light’s March Madness contest.
The transgender social media star, who has shared her transition journey with followers online, addressed the pushback for the first time on Thursday, telling her 1.8 million Instagram followers in a video that she’s “doing OK” despite the hate she has received.
“I think it’s OK to be frustrated with someone or confused,” she said. “But what I’m struggling to understand is the need to dehumanize and to be cruel.”
Responding to the criticism of its partnership with Mulvaney, Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth this month said the company has “thousands of partners, millions of fans and a proud history of supporting our communities, military, first responders, sports fans and hard-working Americans everywhere.”
“We never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people,” Whitworth said in a written statement shared on Anheuser-Busch’s social media accounts. “We are in the business of bringing people together over beer.”
The company this month also put the marketing executive who oversaw the partnership between Bud Light and Mulvaney on a leave of absence, according to media reports.
Pushback over Anheuser-Busch’s partnership with Mulvaney comes at a pivotal time for transgender rights, as well as LGBTQ rights more broadly.
Nearly 470 bills targeting LGBTQ people have been introduced this year in state legislatures nationwide, according to the American Civil Liberties Union. This year alone, 40 new anti-LGBTQ bills have been signed into law, with most targeting the transgender community.
At least 10 transgender and gender-nonconforming people have been killed this year, according to HRC data.
According to the HRC letter, the group is preparing to lower Anheuser-Busch’s long-standing 100 percent Corporate Equality Index score, a national benchmarking tool on corporate policies, practices and benefits relevant to LGBTQ employees.
Brown in the letter requests that company executives meet with HRC leadership to discuss a number of recommendations, including that Anheuser-Busch releases a public statement “reaffirming its full support for its transgender customers, shareholders, and employees.”
Anheuser-Busch has declined several meeting requests from HRC in the wake of right-wing pushback over its partnership with Mulvaney, according to an individual with knowledge of the situation. Anheuser-Busch did not immediately respond to The Hill’s request for comment.
The letter also recommends that Anheuser-Busch meet with its LGBTQ employees to discuss and “understand their concerns” and conduct workplace transgender inclusion training for company executives. | https://www.fox16.com/news/national-news/exclusive-anheuser-busch-faces-call-to-reaffirm-support-for-trans-community-after-mulvaney-pushback/ | 2023-04-28 23:41:48 | 0 | https://www.fox16.com/news/national-news/exclusive-anheuser-busch-faces-call-to-reaffirm-support-for-trans-community-after-mulvaney-pushback/ |
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — After a series of measures that weakened Brazil’s environmental laws, far-right President Jair Bolsonaro has signaled an about-face, signing a decree Tuesday relating to crimes involving the destruction of the Amazon rainforest.
The new legislation increases fines for people who provide false information for logging license applications and forest concessions. On the other hand, it does not address pressing issues that have made punishment difficult, such as the fact that fines are allowed to expire without being paid.
Suely Araújo, senior public policy specialist at the Climate Observatory, a network of environmental groups, says that the decree is a response to a lawsuit in the Supreme Court that accuses the Bolsonaro government of ceasing to prosecute environmental crimes.
At the center of the lawsuit are ‘reconciliation centers’ Bolsonaro created in 2019 where environmental offenders may contest their fines. Environmentalists have harshly criticized these.
The centers led to a sharp reduction in environmental fines, a fact that’s been celebrated as an achievement by Bolsonaro, who promised to stop what he called the “fining industry” during his election campaign.
“We stopped having big problems with the environmental issue, especially regarding fines. Do they have to exist? Yes, but we talked, and we reduced the fines in agriculture by more than 80%,” he bragged in January during an official event.
But the decree “is like applying a band-aid to a broken bone,” says Araújo, who headed up Brazil’s environment regulatory agency but resigned at the beginning of Bolsonaro’s term.
At a time when environmental crimes are exploding, enforcement is down and punishment procedures are chaotic, “this decree means absolutely nothing,” she said.
Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon broke records for April, with new records also set in January and February this year. Satellite alerts for deforestation for April corresponded to more than 1,000 square kilometers (nearly 400 square miles). | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/international/brazil-toughens-environmental-fines-in-reaction-to-a-lawsuit/ | 2022-05-26 17:20:18 | 0 | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/international/brazil-toughens-environmental-fines-in-reaction-to-a-lawsuit/ |
(KTLA) – Family and loved ones are preparing to say goodbye to actress Anne Heche as doctors plan to remove her from life support after finding acceptable recipients for her donated organs, according to TMZ.
Heche was involved in a fiery crash in which her speeding vehicle apparently slammed into a Los Angeles home on Aug. 5. Witnesses recorded video of Heche speeding through city streets before crashing into the two-story home in the Mar Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles. The crash resulted in a house fire.
The 53-year-old actress suffered traumatic injuries that left her in a coma and medically “brain dead,” her representatives said.
A spokesperson for Heche and her family released a statement Friday that announced her passing.
“While Anne is legally dead according to California law, her heart is still beating, and she has not been taken off life support so that One Legacy can see if she is a match for organ donation,” the statement read.
For the last several days, doctors at Grossman Burn Center in West Hills have been keeping her on life support in hopes of finding suitable organ recipients for her organs.
On Sunday, TMZ reported that recipients had been found and doctors were preparing to remove the actress from life support to begin the process of removing and transplanting her organs.
A native of Ohio, Heche first came to prominence on the NBC soap opera “Another World” from 1987 to 1991. She won a Daytime Emmy Award for the role.
Heche has worked consistently in smaller films, on Broadway, and on TV shows in the past two decades. She recently had recurring roles on the network series “Chicago P.D.” and “All Rise,” and in 2020 was a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars.”
Law enforcement sources told TMZ that Heche was under the influence of cocaine and possibly other drugs at the time of the crash.
On Friday, after news of Heche’s condition was released, police said they no longer plan to pursue a case against her.

Castlewood ‘Chase the Ace’ fundraiser nears $310,000 with two cards left
CASTLEWOOD, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - The drawing for the 51st week of the Castlewood ‘Chase the Ace’ fundraiser will be held at Ship’s Inn Bar & Grill Tuesday at 8 p.m.
Only two envelopes, #35 and #46, remain to be opened. As of noon on Monday, the total jackpot had reached over $300,000. That means the winner could take home over $120,000 if they find the Ace of Spades this week.
Employees from PCC Ambulance Billing Service have been pooling their tickets together since week one. If they win, they plan to split the money among the 17 of them.
”We pray and pray that one of them gets drawn every week, and we all come as a group. It’s a great experience,” said Alisha Nielsen, one of the employees from PCC.
For them, half the fun is the atmosphere of the drawing nights.
“After work, some of us come and we fold and we actually come help the Grow Castlewood Community Foundation. The rest of us just come down and we eat together like a work family. Everyone just gets excited because they just want to support this community after all that’s happened, and we just want to see it grow and prosper,” said Nielsen
PCC President Michele Smith says it’s a great way to benefit the small businesses in their communities.
”Obviously, the ‘Chase the Ace’ is important for the community, because it’s going toward a community benefit, but it also brings the opportunity to each of these businesses to grow their business. So, that’s why we’ve supported them, not only with the desire to win, but also just to be here and support their business each week. That’s really important in a small town,” said Smith.
Each week, the drawing is held at one of three restaurants in Castlewood. Tables Steakhouse owner, Amelia Foster, says she has to bring in extra staff for drawing nights she hosts.
”Last Tuesday, we filled up the whole restaurant. It gets pretty hectic, but I bring in more staff and it goes pretty smooth and it’s just a great atmosphere altogether,” said Foster.
As the number of cards shrink, the crowd gets bigger.
“It’s definitely drawing in more people each week. We get more exposure too. A lot of out-of-towners come in, so that’s always great for small towns to bring in out-of-towners. The bigger the pot gets, the more people get excited, the more they’re coming out to actually see the drawing and hope that their name gets drawn while they’re there,” said Foster.
Nielsen says the drawing nights provide a positive event for the community to come together for after spending the last 6 months repairing their community after the May 12th tornado.
“After the tornado and everyone was devastated, this has kind of been something that brings us all together. It’s been great, it’s been fellowship, it’s been just being able to be with each other and help support each other and want new things. It’s very exciting,” said Nielsen.
Ticket sales will be open until 7 p.m. Tuesday. Tickets are $5 each and can be bought on Venmo with a payment to @growcastlewood or online at growcastlewood.com. Phone number must be included with payment.

SAN JOSE, Calif. — As Elizabeth Holmes prepares to report to prison on Tuesday, the criminal case that laid bare the blood-testing scam at the heart of her Theranos startup is entering its final phase.
The 11-year sentence represents a comeuppance for the wide-eyed woman who broke through “tech bro” culture to become one of Silicon Valley’s most celebrated entrepreneurs, only to be exposed as a fraud. Along the way, Holmes became a symbol of the shameless hyperbole that often saturates startup culture.
But questions still linger about her true intentions — so many that even the federal judge who presided over her trial seemed mystified. And Holmes' defenders continue to ask whether the punishment fits the crime.
At 39, she seems most likely to be remembered as Silicon Valley’s Icarus — a high-flying entrepreneur burning with reckless ambition whose odyssey culminated in convictions for fraud and conspiracy.
Her motives are still somewhat mysterious, and some supporters say federal prosecutors targeted her unfairly in their zeal to bring down one of the most prominent practitioners of fake-it-til-you-make-it — the tech sector's brand of self-promotion that sometimes veers into exaggeration and blatant lies to raise money.
Holmes will begin to pay the price for her deceit on May 30 when she is scheduled begin the sentence that will separate her from her two children — a son whose July 2021 birth delayed the start of her trial and a 3-month-old daughter conceived after her conviction.
She is expected to be incarcerated in Bryan, Texas, about 100 miles northwest of her hometown of Houston. The prison was recommended by the judge who sentenced Holmes, but authorities have not publicly disclosed where she will be held.
Her many detractors contend she deserves to be in prison for peddling a technology that she repeatedly boasted would quickly scan for hundreds of diseases and other health problems with a few drops of blood taken with a finger prick.
The technology never worked as promised. Instead, Theranos tests produced wildly unreliable results that could have endangered patients' lives — one of the most frequently cited reasons why she deserved to be prosecuted.
Before those lies were uncovered in a series of explosive articles in The Wall Street Journal beginning in October 2015, Holmes raised nearly $1 billion from a list of savvy investors including Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison and media mogul Rupert Murdoch. It was the duping of those investors that led to her prison sentence and a $452 million restitution bill.
Holmes' stake in Theranos at one point catapulted her paper wealth to $4.5 billion. She never sold any of her stock in the company, though trial evidence left no doubt she reveled in the trappings of fame and fortune — so much so that she and the father of her children, William “Billy” Evans, lived on a palatial Silicon Valley estate during the trial.
The theory that Holmes was running an elaborate scam was buttressed by trial evidence documenting her efforts to prevent the Journal's investigation from being published. That campaign compelled John Carreyrou — the reporter responsible for those bombshell stories — to attend court and position himself in Holmes' line of vision when she took the witness stand.
Holmes also signed off on surveillance aimed at intimidating Theranos employees who helped uncover the flaws with the blood-testing technology. The whistleblowers included Tyler Shultz, the grandson of former Secretary of State George Shultz, whom Holmes befriended and persuaded to join the Theranos board.
Tyler Shultz became so unnerved by Holmes' efforts to shut him up that he began sleeping with a knife under his pillow, according to a wrenching statement delivered by his father, Alex, at her sentencing.
Holmes' supporters still contend she always had good intentions and was unfairly scapegoated by the Justice Department. They insist she simply deployed the same over-the-top promotion tactics as many other tech executives, including Elon Musk, who has repeatedly made misleading statements about the capabilities of Tesla's self-driving cars.
According to those supporters, Holmes was singled out because she was a woman who briefly eclipsed the men who customarily bask in Silicon Valley's spotlight, and the trial turned her into a latter-day version of Hester Prynne — the protagonist in the 1850 novel “The Scarlet Letter.”
Holmes steadfastly maintained her innocence during seven often-riveting days of testimony in her own defense — a spectacle that caused people to line up shortly after midnight to secure one of the few dozen seats available in the San Jose courtroom.
On one memorable day, Holmes recounted how she had never gotten over the trauma of being raped while enrolled at Stanford University. She then described being subjected to a long-running pattern of emotional and sexual abuse by her former lover and Theranos conspirator, Ramesh “Sunny” Balwani, and suggested his stifling control blurred her thinking.
Balwani's lawyer, Jeffrey Coopersmith, denied those allegations during the trial. In Balwani's subsequent trial, Coopersmith unsuccessfully tried to depict his client as Holmes' pawn.
Balwani, 57, is now serving a nearly 13-year prison sentence for fraud and conspiracy.
When it came time to sentence the then-pregnant Holmes in November, U.S. District Judge Edward Davila seemed as puzzled as anyone about why she did what she did.
”This is a fraud case where an exciting venture went forward with great expectations and hope, only to be dashed by untruth, misrepresentations, hubris and plain lies," Davila lamented while Holmes stood before him. “I suppose we step back and we look at this, and we think what is the pathology of fraud?”
The judge also hearkened back to the days that Silicon Valley consisted mostly of orchards farmed by immigrants. That was before the land was ceded to the tech boom beginning in 1939 when William Hewlett and David Packard founded a company bearing their surnames in a one-car garage in Palo Alto — the same city where Theranos was based.
“You’ll recall the wonderful innovation of those two individuals in that small garage,” Davila reminded everyone in the rapt courtroom. “No exotic automobiles or lavish lifestyle, just a desire to create for society’s benefit through honest hard work. And that, I would hope, would be the continuing story, the legacy and practice of Silicon Valley.”

What are the best pie-baking accessories?
Among the many enjoyable traditions of the holiday season is eating. But it’s not just any eating — it’s eating holiday recipes. Among the most enjoyable, though labor-intensive, holiday recipes are pies. The first and easiest step is of course to decide what kind of pie you want to make. After that, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and roll out some dough. And that arm-exhausting step is only the beginning. After that, it only gets hairier depending on your chosen pie. Thankfully, there are some accessories that can help.
In this article: MCIRCO Pie Plates, Farberware Rolling Pin and Cuisinart Stand Mixer
What do I need?
Two of the most important accessories to have for every recipe are a pie plate and a rolling pin. A stand mixer can save you lots of time and effort despite being technically unnecessary. You may need pie weights if your recipe calls for a blind-baked crust.
On top of these are basic accessories you likely already have lying around your kitchen. This includes utensils such as spoons for mixing, forks for poking vent holes in the crust and knives for trimming excess dough. Most recipes need pots, pans or bowls for making and mixing fillings, too.
Best pie plates
This four-pack of 9-inch pie plates are made in the U.S. and that fact is proudly emblazoned on the glass. They are freezer- and dishwasher-safe, plus can be used in the microwave. Sold by Amazon
This 10-inch ceramic dish has a lovely teal exterior so your pie looks beautiful and presentable until it’s all been eaten and it’s time to be washed. It does need to be hand-washed, though. Sold by Amazon
Each pie plate in this set of four is a different size: 7, 8, 9 and 10 inches. There are two handles on each plate for easier positioning and the edges have a cute dimpled design. Sold by Amazon
These plates are simple but well-made. Each is 9 inches in diameter and made from tempered glass for more even heating. They’re made in the U.S. and are freezer- and dishwasher-safe. Sold by Amazon
This two-pack of porcelain pie plates are just as well suited to being artful serving bowls as they are for baking pies. They’re 9 inches wide at the top and come in red or black. Sold by Amazon
Best rolling pins
This rolling pin comes with four sizes of edges so you can carefully control the thickness of your dough, rather than eyeballing it. The thicknesses are one-sixteenth, one-eighth, one-quarter and three-eighths of an inch. Sold by Amazon
These six mini rolling pins are only 7.7 inches wide from tip to tip, making them perfect for giving to children so they can help you bake. The handles make it easier for them to hold, too. Sold by Amazon
This traditional rolling pin is 17.5 inches from tip to tip with a 10-inch center for rolling. It uses rustproof nylon bearings to help it roll smoother and the handles have holes if you like to hang your rolling pin. Sold by Amazon
French rolling pins are tapered, with a thick center and narrower ends. You need to practice using one for a bit to get the hang of it, but once you do, it can make your baking life much easier. Sold by Amazon
This marble rolling pin is just like any other in terms of function, but its aesthetics are far superior. It looks so good that it even comes with a cradle so you can display it on your counter. Sold by Amazon
Best stand mixers
This two-in-one stand mixer can have its mixing head removed to be used as an electric hand mixer, greatly opening up your options when it comes time to make your pie fillings. Sold by Amazon
This stand mixer comes with a combination splash guard and pour spout for the bowl. It also includes a chef’s whisk, flat mixing paddle and dough hook. It comes in nine colors. Sold by Amazon
This stand mixer comes with two beaters and two dough hooks. It also includes a recipe book and access to a recipe database. It comes in six colors including black and white. Sold by Amazon
This stand mixer has a 4-quart mixing bowl — plenty of space for making all the pies you can eat. It also includes a whisk, dough hook and mixing paddle. It comes in seven colors. Sold by Amazon
This stand mixer has a quieter motor than most, making no more than 75 decibels of noise which is a bit lower than a normal conversation. It has six mixing speeds. Sold by Amazon
Best pie weights
Unlike most pie weights, this is a single piece. It’s also in the shape of a pie crust with rubber edges that bend to push against the sides. It fits 9-11-inch pie plates. Sold by Amazon
This box of weights contains enough 10-millimeter ceramic marbles to weigh 1.2 pounds, more than enough to keep a pie crust or two weighted down. They are safe up to 480 degrees. Sold by Amazon
This sack of glass pie weights weighs 2.5 pounds. They’re also easy to clean and won’t absorb oils and odors like ceramic weights sometimes can. Sold by Amazon
This is another single pie weight, but it’s in the form of a chain that you wind around the crust of your pie. It comes in 6-, 10- and 15-foot lengths. Sold by Amazon
Mrs. Anderson’s Baking Pie Weights
These large ceramic beads are easy to clean — just wipe them once they’re cool with a dry cloth or soak them in soapy water if they’re especially dirty. Sold by Amazon

Boulter celebrated the best achievement of her career in Nottingham on Sunday when she won her first WTA Tour title to reach a new highest ranking of 77.
It cemented her position as British number one in the absence of the injured Emma Raducanu, but Boulter was unable to back it up at Egbaston Priory, where she made the quarter-finals last year.
Boulter certainly had her chances against Zhu, ranked 39, but she was unable to convert enough of them in a 7-5 7-5 defeat.
Boulter began well, opening up a 3-1 lead, but Zhu responded strongly and took her second set point in the 12th game.
The second set was a rollercoaster featuring seven breaks of serve and 17 break points.
Boulter was only able to take three of her 10 opportunities, though, and – after saving two match points at 4-5 – she sent a backhand long on the third, two games later.
Play did not get under way until 1.30pm because of rain, with second seed Jelena Ostapenko battling to a three-set win over Czech teenager Linda Noskova in the opening match. | https://www.beinsports.com/au/wta-tour/news/boulters-winning-run-ends-against-zhu-lin/2117085 | 2023-06-21 00:24:27 | 0 | https://www.beinsports.com/au/wta-tour/news/boulters-winning-run-ends-against-zhu-lin/2117085 |
VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - NexGen Energy Ltd. ("NexGen" or the "Company") (TSX: NXE) (NYSE: NXE) (ASX: NXG) is pleased to announce another significant milestone in the advancement of regulatory approvals for the 100% owned Rook I Project ("Rook I" or the "Project") with the receipt of Federal technical and public review comments and Provincial technical review comments on the Rook I draft Environmental Impact Statement ("EIS").
The Federal draft EIS review process, coordinated by the Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission ("CNSC"), included both technical and public review. Receipt of the Federal review comments follows successful completion of the 90-day Federal public review period that ended on October 12, 2022 (see News Release dated July 15, 2022).
In parallel to the CNSC-coordinated Federal technical and public review, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment ("ENV") completed coordination of a Provincial technical review of the draft EIS. Provincial technical review comments were received in September 2022. With receipt of the Federal (technical and public) and Provincial (technical) review comments, NexGen has commenced a review of comments and response activities and preparation of the final EIS for submission to the ENV and CNSC in Q1 2023.
Further, as part of the integrated Federal Environmental Assessment ("EA") and licensing process that commenced for the Project in 2019, NexGen has scheduled submission of the remaining final, complete licence application documents to the CNSC in December 2022. These remaining documents build on the final, complete aspects of the licence application package submitted to the CNSC in December 2021 which were positively received.
- April 2019: Submission of EA Project Description / commencement of Licence application
- December 2021: Submission of initial portion of complete Licence Application documents to CNSC,
- May 2022: Submission of draft EIS to the ENV and CNSC
- July 2022: CNSC completion of draft EIS conformity review
- September 2022: Receipt of Provincial technical review comments on draft EIS
- November 2022: Receipt of Federal technical and public review comments on draft EIS
Leigh Curyer, Chief Executive Officer commented: "The receipt of the Federal review comments following the draft EIS technical and public review as well as the Provincial technical review is a substantial advancement in the elite, rigorous, and transparent regulatory approval process for the Rook I Project. We are extremely pleased with the result of the technical review by both the CNSC and ENV. It has met the objective NexGen set out to achieve and reflects the many years of dedicated focus, commitment and expertise by the NexGen team in advancing the generational Rook I Project. We look forward to the next stage and simultaneously working in lock-step with Indigenous and community partners towards the final EIS submission to culminate in a Provincial EA approval and CNSC commission hearing. Further, I would like to thank our Indigenous and community partners for their commitment and collaboration to this important process.
Further, NexGen is well advanced in the completion of Front-End Engineering Design and has commenced critical path detailed engineering in parallel with the permitting and licensing advancements."
The EIS represents the collection of reports that document NexGen's EA of the Project. NexGen conducted the EA pursuant to The Environmental Assessment Act of Saskatchewan and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (collectively the "Acts"). The information and analysis conducted and submitted in the EIS represent the basis against which the environmental, social, and human health effects of the Project will be evaluated by the ENV and CNSC.
Through a cooperative Provincial-Federal EA process, the ENV and CNSC will share information and work to reduce regulatory duplication, while providing a comprehensive EA process in accordance with the separate requirements that apply and must be satisfied with respect to the Acts, regulations, and guidelines in place for each of the respective jurisdictions.

It wasn’t me: Ex-UK PM Truss blames ‘system’ for her failure
By JILL LAWLESS
Associated Press
LONDON (AP) — Former British Prime Minister Liz Truss says her failure wasn’t her fault. Truss alleges that a “powerful economic establishment” and opponents inside the governing Conservative Party thwarted her plans for a tax-cutting overhaul of the U.K. economy. She resigned in October, six weeks into the job, after her inaugural budget plan sparked market mayhem. Writing in the Sunday Telegraph newspaper, Truss said she underestimated the resistance her free-market policies would face from “the system.” Critics accused the former prime minister of rewriting history. Conservative House of Lords member Gavin Barwell said Truss fell because she “lost the confidence of the financial markets, the electorate and your own MPs.” | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2023/02/05/it-wasnt-me-ex-uk-pm-truss-blames-system-for-her-failure-2/ | 2023-02-05 14:34:28 | 0 | https://kion546.com/news/ap-national-news/2023/02/05/it-wasnt-me-ex-uk-pm-truss-blames-system-for-her-failure-2/ |
Nairobi, Kenya (AP) — Thousands of anti-government protesters marched on the streets of Kenya’s capital, Nairobi, on Monday despite the government’s declaration that the protests are illegal.
Opposition leader Raila Odinga joined protesters on the western side of the capital where his convoy attracted thousands of supporters and he addressed them at various stops calling for electoral justice and reduced prices for food items.
Police used a water cannon and teargas to disperse supporters. Police chief Japheth Koome insists that the protests are illegal but Odinga says Kenyans have a right to demonstrate.
Odinga and his party, Azimio la Umoja–One Kenya Coalition, are leading the protests against the rising cost of living and calling for President William Ruto’s resignation saying he wasn’t validly elected in last year’s election.
The protests occurred last week and Odinga has urged his followers to take to the streets twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays.
More than a dozen civil society groups have in a joint statement expressed concern over police declaring Monday’s protests illegal and urged authorities to uphold people’s constitutional right to peaceful demonstrations.
Ruto over the weekend urged Odinga to face him directly and “stop terrorizing the country.”
Odinga’s plan in last week’s protests was to march to the president’s offices at State House but police erected barriers to prevent public access and motorists were directed to alternative routes.
Ruto is currently out of the country visiting Germany.
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua shared photos of himself at his office early Monday morning and urged Kenyans to report to work.
Nairobi’s central business district remained calm but most businesses were closed on Monday morning due to the uncertainty over demonstrations and if there would be violence.
There were reports of some violence directed at Odinga and his supporters. Some people raided a farm in the outskirts of the capital owned by the family of the former president Uhuru Kenyatta, cutting trees and taking away sheep, according to local media reports. The former president supported Odinga in 2022 elections.
Odinga’s gas cylinder manufacturing business near the central business district was pelted with stones.
There was a heavy police presence within the capital and surrounding neighborhoods on Monday. Police have dispersed crowds that gathered in Kibera and Mathare, poor areas of Nairobi.
A resident on Kibera, Emily Atieno, told the Associated Press she would continue to protest until the “price of cooking flour is reduced”. Another protester Mario Omari said protests would continue until Ruto resigns from office.
Local media have been warned against broadcasting Monday’s protests. The Communication Authority of Kenya said the airing of last week’s demonstrations caused panic, incited the public and threatened peace.
The High Court, however, ruled that the authority’s notice was unconstitutional and upheld media freedom in response to a petition filed by a civil society group, a journalists’ union and the Law Society.
In 2018, Kenya’s main television stations were taken off air for one week by the regulator after airing Odinga’s “mock” swearing in ceremony where he claimed to be the people’s president.” Odinga had rejected the 2017 election results and organized anti-government protests.
Police last week threatened to take action against those pictured hurling stones at officers.
They released photos of people who they said were wanted for crimes committed during the protests but were called out by local media outlets for using old photos and others that were taken during protests in Burundi. | https://cw33.com/news/international/ap-international/kenya-police-on-alert-before-expected-opposition-protests/ | 2023-03-28 00:30:20 | 1 | https://cw33.com/news/international/ap-international/kenya-police-on-alert-before-expected-opposition-protests/ |

Photographer in Canada captures ‘beautiful northern lights show’ after wildfire smoke clears
CANADA - A photographer, based in Canada, managed to capture a mesmerizing green glow of an aurora borealis Sunday after smoke from recent wildfires dissipated.
The footage, captured by RJ Roldan, shows the aurora borealis over South Indian Lake in the early hours of May 21. The video showcases the vivid green northern lights flowing across the clear Manitoba sky.
Roldan told Storyful that recent days have posed challenges for aurora viewing due to the smoke blanketing the skies from an outbreak of wildfires.
"The smoke was finally pushed in giving us a clear view of the night sky and gave us an opportunity to watch the night spectacle – the beautiful northern lights show," he said.

According to the latest update by the Manitoba Wildfire Services, wildfire danger across southern Manitoba is moderate to high throughout the province. There were 14 active wildfires in the province as of May 17.
RELATED: Watch: Boiling water instantly freezes during aurora in Alaska
The agency said it is actively working to suppress multiple fires utilizing ground crews and aircraft.
According to space.com, the northern lights, or the aurora borealis, are energized particles from the sun that slam into Earth's upper atmosphere at speeds of up to 45 million mph, but our planet's magnetic field protects us from the onslaught.
As Earth’s magnetic field redirects the particles toward the pole, the dramatic process transforms into a cinematic atmospheric phenomenon that dazzles and fascinates skywatchers.

Mark Nepo writes beautifully about the experience of life. In The Book of Awakening, he writes about an elusive sea anemone on the deep ocean floor that looks like a “watery blossom. It is white lace opening under tons of black, opening as if bathed in the sun, while so far from the sun. That is the trick to staying well, isn’t it: to feel the sun even in the dark. To not lose the truth of things when they go out of view.”
Not losing the truth of things when they go out of view is also the essence of hope.
Having hope is intertwined with having resilience, our own agency, confidence and faith. Hope keeps us buoyant. Hope keeps us feeling the sun even in the dark. How can we inspire hope in our children so that they can wrap themselves in that lifejacket when seas are rough? Here are a few ways.
Let mistakes be for learning not for punishing. Making a mistake and then revising your approach is how you learn. It is how you become secure in knowing that you can handle problems; that you can get off track, adjust your course and continue to go for what you want. Making a mistake is not a failure. It is a readjustment.
When children are punished for making mistakes, they shy away from healthy risks. They see things only as win and lose, diminishing their creativity and limiting their world view.
Guide them to repair the ruptures. Upsets and disagreements can become the pathway to closeness when there is repair. Repair is more than an apology. Repair is acknowledging your part and how you will do it differently the next time.
The repair says that you care and that you are accountable. Repairs clearly let others know what they can count on you for. Your child will embody this by watching you make repairs.
Assist them in being aware of their own resourcefulness and to see others as a resource. Ask questions of them rather than attempting to fix or answer it for them. “How would you like to handle this? Knowing what you know now, how would you do it differently the next time? What is the result that you want?”
With creative questions asked with curiosity, they will not only gain confidence in their own resourcefulness, but they will also recognize you as a dependable, safe resource. They will see that they are not alone in moving through the world.
Honor their agency. Micromanaging, fixing and demanding diminish their agency. Have faith in their capabilities. Catch yourself making a demand, getting overinvolved or solving things for them. Then remind yourself of the things that they are doing well.
Have faith in them and faith in yourself as a parent. Reread the paragraph about making mistakes. Then reread the paragraph about resourcefulness.
Allow yourself to be a student as well as a leader, and let your child know when and what you learn from them. It is important to be specific. For instance, I recognized my daughter’s perseverance in solving a programming problem and let her know that she inspired me to persevere.
I acknowledge when her humor uplifts me. Admiring her adventurous spirit and her strength, I let her know how proud I am for her of how she is steering her steady course. What are you learning from your child, your greatest teacher? Whatever it may be, let them know!
With these steps, we can inspire and instill hope, one of the greatest acts of love that we can give as parents. | https://www.santafenewmexican.com/life/family/inspiring-and-instilling-hope/article_ec8211b8-bf5e-11ed-b584-c36a23f4aea0.html | 2023-03-11 16:54:35 | 1 | https://www.santafenewmexican.com/life/family/inspiring-and-instilling-hope/article_ec8211b8-bf5e-11ed-b584-c36a23f4aea0.html |

Demi Moore and Andrew McCarthy enjoy a mini Brat Pack reunion
By Marianne Garvey, CNN
(CNN) — Actors Demi Moore and Andrew McCarthy reunited over the weekend for the first time in years.
McCarthy took to Instagram with his former “St. Elmo’s Fire” costar to reveal he’s working on a “Brat Pack documentary” about the famous group of young actors in the ’80s that included himself, Moore, Ally Sheedy, Rob Lowe, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez and others.
“St. Elmo’s Fire” was co-written and directed by Joel Schumacher in 1985. It follows a group of friends who’ve just graduated Georgetown University.
“So great to see (for the first time in years and years) my St. Elmo’s Fire co-star, the wondrous Demi Moore, and catch up for my Brat Pack documentary,” McCarthy captioned his post.
McCarthy starred in several hit films from the decade like “Pretty in Pink,” “Mannequin,” and “Weekend at Bernie’s.” Moore jumped from coming-of-age hits to “Ghost,” “Indecent Proposal,” and more. McCarthy has also gone on to be a director and an author, most recently penning a book titled “Walking with Sam,” about a trek he took through the Camino de Santiago with his son.
In 2020, he released “Brat: An ’80s Story,” which details those years and his path to getting sober.

Matthew McConaughey is using his platform to call for change.
The Oscar-winning actor, who is from Uvalde, Texas, wrote an op-ed for The Austin American-Statesman.
He said the shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde that left 19 children and two teachers dead prompted him to write the piece.
"I believe that responsible, law-abiding Americans have a Second Amendment right, enshrined by our founders, to bear arms," McConaughey wrote. "I also believe we have a cultural obligation to take steps toward slowing down the senseless killing of our children. The debate about gun control has delivered nothing but status quo. It’s time we talk about gun responsibility."
McConaughey claims there is a difference between gun control and gun responsibility, claiming there is "no constitutional barrier to gun responsibility."
The actor said he believes all gun purchases should require a background check. He also believes an "assault rifle" should only be sold to people 21 years and older, unless they are in the military. He also called for a national waiting period on "assault rifles" and for Red Flag laws to become the "law of the land."
"I am not under the illusion that these policies will solve all of our problems, but if responsible solutions can stop some of these tragedies from striking another community without destroying the Second Amendment, they're worth it," McConaughey said.
McConaughey called on lawmakers from both parties to find common ground. He also believes companies, private organizations, and responsible gun owners should be part of the conversation about how to make the U.S. safer.
"It’s time for real leaders to step up and do what’s right, so we can each and all just keep livin’," McConaughey said. | https://www.kxlf.com/news/national/matthew-mcconaughey-calls-for-gun-responsibility-following-uvadle-school-shooting | 2022-06-06 19:51:55 | 0 | https://www.kxlf.com/news/national/matthew-mcconaughey-calls-for-gun-responsibility-following-uvadle-school-shooting |
ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) — As prom and graduation seasons are underway, many local police departments are adding patrols to prevent impaired and reckless driving. At the Capitol advocates and lawmakers are pushing for a bill that would expand the use of ignition interlock systems, which supporters say would prevent impaired driving.
“Innocent lives are being taken and if they’re not innocent lives being taken they are having the most horrible life altering injuries that you can never possibly get over,” said Erica Linn, who’s parents were killed at the hands of a drunk driver in 2016. It was the driver’s first DWI offense, but lawmakers say 70% will drive drunk again. “So we have to stop the carnage in our streets, which is why it is so urgent,” said Linn.
The bill would require first time offenders, convicted of a DWI or a DWAI to have breathalyzers installed in their vehicle. Advocates say as of right now, judges can order offenders to either give up their vehicle or install the device in their car. Assemblywoman and key sponsor of the bill, Carrie Woerner explained why the breathalyzer is the better option, “So what this does is it says ‘No you’re not gonna get rid of your car, you’re gonna put it on your car’ so we’re hoping what that means is that the family members are not gonna lend the car, because the individual has access to a vehicle they just have to use this device to keep themselves safe and the other people on the road safe.”
The breathalyze would not allow the driver to start their vehicle if they breathe a BAC of .025 or higher. The device is also accompanied by a camera to ensure the convicted person is the one taking the test. According to a report from Mothers Against Drunk Driving, from 2006 to 2020, these devices stopped almost 4 million people from driving drunk. The device would cost the driver three dollars a day. The bill has passed in the Senate, but not yet in the Assembly. | https://www.wivb.com/news/new-york/new-bill-could-close-loopholes-in-vehicle-breathalyzer-law/ | 2023-05-22 23:40:29 | 0 | https://www.wivb.com/news/new-york/new-bill-could-close-loopholes-in-vehicle-breathalyzer-law/ |
Some teams grow up over a whole season, or players over a career. While there’s plenty of improvement left for South River, coach Colin Campbell saw some of his Seahawks grow up in just 48 minutes.
When rival Southern threatened the Seahawks’ lead early in the fourth quarter, both young and veteran Seahawks stared slipping momentum in the face and refused to blink. Two goals in the last frame shut down the Bulldogs for good, delivering South River the 10-7 victory under a downpour in Harwood on Friday.
Henry Sykes, one of the seniors anchoring South River’s mix of excited inexperience and seasoned determinedness, led with four goals. He loved how his team responded.
“As a young team, this week’s wins gave us great confidence boost,” the senior captain and midfielder said. “We proved we play hard until the end.”
Sophomore Trevor Phipps embodied that speedy maturity and unrelenting endurance. Southern still kindled hope down 9-7 with about two minutes left. But Phipps ended the Bulldogs’ comeback hopes.
“I mean, that last ride, we’ve been talking to our guys about the ride, about reacting so they’re not going to be in the same place every time,” Campbell said. “And that’s what sealed the game. That’s exactly what we needed.”
The two teams met on the rain-soaked turf the same as any rivals — knocking bodies to the ground.
South River (2-0) jumped out 2-0 on a man-advantage, only only for an opposing man-up to grant Southern the edge. Senior Carter Moon favored an angled look at his target, firing two cannon shots to give his Bulldogs a 3-2 lead after the first quarter.
But just as Southern seemed to conquer the momentum, the Seahawks shoved them off the hill.
South River made good on its possessions where the Bulldogs did not. Phipps and Sykes teamed up for three consecutive goals for a 5-3 South River lead.
Goalkeeper Conner Campbell made sure to preserve it when everyone before him couldn’t with big saves late in the first half.
Trading goals with Southern to open the second half did little to divert South River’s path. Sykes put away another goal, as did Caden Travis. South River settled into its dominance like a conqueror on a throne.
South River took nearly every faceoff of the third quarter, deploying sophomore Andrew Patterson and junior James Kavney, who’d just returned from injury. The two offer different options their coach said, which is a blessing when it comes to keeping the other teams on their toes.
That is, Campbell said, when they’re both on their game.
“But they’re both hot right now,” Campbell said. “When they tilt the field, it makes a huge difference.”
The Bulldogs needed to press harder against the Seahawks defense. If they could clear, they could give themselves real opportunities.
Southern attack Jordan Fanzo flashed one goal to get within 8-5. Then, after clearing well across the midfield, Fanzo found senior James Raymond careening towards the net, who then whipped a goal for an 8-6 deficit at third quarter’s end.
Daily Top Stories
For Southern, that wasn’t quite close enough. Moon carried the product of a won Bulldog faceoff to fruition, cutting South River’s margin to just 8-7 with six minutes remaining.
But the Seahawks’ strength is its defense. As long as they kept level heads, Sykes said, they could focus on the rest.
“Our defense locked down. We had a strong team ride,” Sykes said, “and took smart shots.”
In their most comfortable position, man-up, South River lashed as many shots as the depleted Southern defense would allow them until Sykes’ landed one for 9-7 lead.
That’s when Campbell truly saw his team age up. Bad decisions ceased and the evolution unfolded.
“They were able to police themselves, get back in,” Campbell said, “and do what we’re supposed to do.”

Bank Results
Third Quarter 2022 – Comparison to prior year quarter
Total revenue for the quarter was $30.9 million, or 7% higher than last year due to a 9% increase in net interest income offset by a 5% decrease in noninterest income.
Revenue for the quarter included $18.6 million in interest and fees on loans, and $10.5 million in interest on investments, which were a 1% and 53% increase over the prior year, respectively. Loans, net of allowance for losses, ended the quarter at $1.73 billion or 4% higher than the prior year, while investment securities increased 1% to $1.45 billion. Total interest income for the quarter was $29.3 million or 15% higher than the same period a year ago.
Interest expense in the third quarter of $2.6 million increased $1.6 million from the same period last year primarily due to a $1.3 million increase in interest paid on borrowed funds. Total deposits ended the quarter at $2.98 billion, or 2% higher than last year, with noninterest-bearing deposits increasing 5% and interest-bearing deposits increasing 1%. Noninterest income for the quarter decreased 5% compared to the prior year quarter to $4.3 million. The decrease was driven by a 30% decrease in other noninterest income primarily attributed to our mortgage business offset by a 1% increase in fiduciary and wealth management revenue and a 6% increase in service charges and fees.
The provision for loan losses for the quarter was a recapture of $2.4 million. Revenue after the recapture of loan losses increased to $33.3 million, an increase of 15% over last year.
Total noninterest expense increased by 8% from the prior year to $20.0 million for the quarter, primarily due to increases in personnel related expense as the Bank continued to execute on strategic priorities to deliver enhanced product capabilities to new and existing markets. Compared to the prior year quarter, personnel related expenses increased by 13% and occupancy and other operating expenses increased by 1%.
Year-to-date ended September 30, 2022 – Comparison to prior year period
Total revenue for the nine months was $88.7 million or 4% higher than last year due to a 4% increase in net interest income offset by 1% decrease in noninterest income.
Revenue included $52.5 million in interest and fees on loans, which was 6% lower year-over-year. Interest on investments totaled $27.3 million, a 37% increase, as the Bank allocated excess liquidity to the investment portfolio throughout the year with the benefit of higher yields. Total interest income for the nine months was $80.1 million compared to $75.9 million the same period one year ago. Interest expense of $4.3 million was 27% higher than the same period last year due to a $1.4 million increase in borrowed funds expense offset by a $0.6 million decline in interest paid on deposits.
Noninterest income was essentially stable compared to last year at $12.9 million. Other noninterest income decreased 26% primarily due to lower mortgage activity, offset by a 4% increase in fiduciary and wealth management revenue and a 10% increase in service charges and fees.
The provision for loan losses for the nine months was a recapture of $7.6 million compared to $0.8 million expense for the prior year. Revenue after provision for loan losses reached $96.2 million for the nine-month period, an increase of $11.5 million over the same period last year.
Total noninterest expense increased by 10% from the prior year to $59.5 million primarily due to an 8% increase in personnel related expense and a 13% increase in occupancy and other operating expense. The Bank's efficiency ratio ended the nine months of 2022 at 67.1% compared to 63.2% for the same period a year ago. Burke & Herbert Bank continues to be well-capitalized, with capital ratios that are well above regulatory requirements. As of September 30, 2022, total shareholders' equity was $255.5 million, 34% lower than the prior year with book value per share decreasing by $714.89 to $1,376.13.

Lionel Messi-inspired Argentina wins World Cup after beating France in sensational final
By Ben Church, CNN
Lionel Messi’s wait for World Cup glory is finally over after Argentina beat France in a dramatic penalty shootout on Sunday.
It was a final for the ages, with momentum swinging both ways throughout a pulsating 120 minutes before Gonzalo Montiel scored the winning penalty after the game had finished 3-3 after extra time.
Messi, playing in his fifth and final World Cup, scored twice but France’s Kylian Mbappé netted a stunning hattrick — the first in a final since 1966 — as both superstars brilliantly slugged it out on the biggest stage of all.
Messi’s penalty and Angel di Maria’s first-half goal looked to have settled the tie but Mbappé scored two late goals — one from the penalty spot — in as many minutes to force the game into extra-time.
With both side’s feeling the effects of the scintillating finale, Messi looked to have scored a winner in the 108th minute but Mbappé, yet again, replied with an equalizer from the spot to take the game to penalties.
France’s Kingsley Coman saw his spot kick saved by Emiliano Martinez and Aurelien Tchouameni pulled his effort wide before Montiel secured Argentina’s third World Cup title.
More to follow.

The US labor market has kept trucking right along even as other areas of the economy have slowed.
But that once high-octane ride is showing some signs of wear and tear amid the Federal Reserve's yearlong efforts to cool inflation by suppressing demand.
Job cuts are mounting, hiring activity is losing momentum, and uncertainty is simmering as to how the banking sector's recent tumult could ripple through the economy.
"I think the image, for me, that most sums up where we are in the labor market is [the chart in this tweet] by Bloomberg's chief economist [Michael McDonough], which shows that mentions of job cuts are now higher than mentions of labor shortages in earnings calls," said Julia Pollak, chief economist at online employment site ZipRecruiter. "That's a big reversal after 2021 and 2022 were very much the years of the labor shortage and everyone was talking about how they were struggling to find workers."
"We're at a tipping point now," she added.
Just how much of a shift there is could become even clearer on Friday when the Bureau of Labor Statistics drops the heavily anticipated jobs report for March.
Economists expect monthly job gains to slow, with consensus estimates landing at the 240,000 level, according to Refinitiv. That would be a notable reduction from February's 311,000 jobs gained and a sizable drop from the monster 504,000 net gain in January.
Refinitiv estimates the monthly unemployment rate holding steady at 3.6%; average workweek hours unchanged at 34.5; and average earnings ticking up only slightly (0.1 percentage points) to 0.3% for the month, which would bring the annual average hourly earnings growth down to 4.3% from 4.6%.
'Employers are pulling back'
If the labor market data released so far this week serves as a proxy, March's jobs report should show some noticeable cooling:
On Tuesday, the latest read on labor turnover showed that job openings in the United States dropped below 10 million for the first time in more than a year and half. The number of available jobs fell to 9.93 million in February, according to the BLS' Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey.
The latest decline in openings indicates the labor market is showing some slack: The number of available jobs per job seeker is now fewer than 1.7. In January, that ratio was nearly 1.9.
Online job postings show a similar, if not more elevated retreat in recent weeks. Data from the Indeed Hiring Lab shows that as of March 24, postings — both overall and new — are down from a month prior.
Additionally, the share of postings advertising benefits such as health insurance, paid time off and retirement plans has tapered off, Nick Bunker, Indeed Hiring Lab's head of economic research, told CNN.
"That suggests that maybe there's some fading of competition for hires right now," he said.
On Wednesday, the latest private-sector jobs report from payroll processor ADP came in at 145,000 for March, landing below expectations.
"Employers are pulling back from a year of strong hiring; and pay growth, after a three-month plateau, is inching down," Nela Richardson, ADP's chief economist, said in a statement.
And on Thursday morning, Challenger Gray & Christmas reported that US employers announced 89,703 jobs cuts in March, a 15% pickup from February and more than three times what was reported a year before (when the labor market recovery was still in full swing).
Hiring plans fell to 9,044, marking the lowest March total since 2015, according to the Challenger Report.
The March job cuts bring the first three months' total to 270,416, making it the seventh-highest first-quarter job cut announcement during the past 35 years.
Nearly half of the layoffs have come from the technology sector, where many firms are scaling back considerably after over-hiring during the pandemic. Financial companies announced the second-most job cuts year-to-date with 30,635, according to the Challenger Report.
Potential red flags
The overall strength of the job market — and ongoing demand in underemployed industries like leisure and hospitality as well as health care — more than offset the losses seen in tech and finance.
There still remains uncertainty about the extent to which those and other layoffs may ripple through the broader labor market. And that uncertainty has only grown in recent weeks as a result of the turmoil in the banking industry.
"It doesn't necessarily require that other banks fail in order for an impact to be seen," Daniel Zhao, lead economist at Glassdoor, told CNN. "But if the impact is that banks pull back on lending to businesses, and that prevents businesses from continuing to expand their headcount, then we might see the impact on the labor market through those subtle ripple effects from the banking troubles that started in March."
It'll be far too soon to see any of those ripple effects in the March jobs report, Zhao said, adding that he's still anticipating monthly job gains in the 200,000 to 300,000 realm. However, Zhao noted that he'll be closely watching certain metrics within the jobs report that could show whether the US labor market is slowing from its post-pandemic highs or starting to slide into downturn territory.
Some potential red flags could include: If the headline jobs number falls between zero and 200,000, and if the unemployment rate jumps by 0.2 percentage points or more.
"I think the concern then is that starts to look more like the start of a recession, because we did already see a 0.2 percentage point increase [in the jobless rate] from January to February," he said. "So if we see another one, that does start to add up."
Additionally, a drop in the average workweek hours could indicate that supply sank enough to where businesses had to cut hours, he added.
Industries at risk
Economists, by and large, are still factoring in a recession later this year. And even though it's most likely to be "short and shallow," the recession will affect some industries more than others, according to new research from the Conference Board.
The business membership and research group this week launched the Job Loss Risk Index, which estimates what industries could suffer the largest employment losses during a recession.
According to the organization's findings, the industries with the highest risk include information services, transportation and warehousing, and construction.
Employment in these industries ballooned during the pandemic as telework and e-commerce boomed. However, that environment has shifted as people have returned to work and shifted spending to service-oriented industries. Additionally, high interest rates have made borrowing more costly and weakened industries such as housing.
The next tier of industries classified with a "high" risk include: repair, personal and other services; manufacturing; wholesale trade; and real estate. Industries with a "very low" or "low" risk include private educational services, health care, public sector employment, retail, food services, and arts and entertainment.
What this means for future rate hikes
Friday's jobs report will be the last monthly employment snapshot before the Fed's next policymaking meeting on May 2-3, since April data will be released May 5.
And while the March report will likely show a continued slowing in the labor market — notably wage gains and job growth — it probably won't dissuade the Fed from approving a third-straight quarter-point rate hike in May, Oxford Economics lead US economist Nancy Vanden Houten wrote in a note Tuesday.
"The moderation won't be enough to convince the Fed that labor market conditions are easing enough to return inflation to its 2% target," she wrote.
Oxford Economics expects quarter-point rate hikes at the Fed's May and June meetings, noting the latter projected hike is more up in the air due to banking sector stress.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics is expected to release its March jobs report on Friday at 8:30 a.m. ET.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Each month, Antón Martínez, 38, sets aside $200 from his wages as a dishwasher in the United States to send home to his mother in Nicaragua.
Martínez wishes it could be more, but he’s still trying to find his footing in the new country and pay off the debt of his migration. His monthly contribution to family back home was part of a 50% surge in remittances to Nicaragua in 2022, a massive jump that analysts attribute to the thousands of Nicaraguans who emigrated to the U.S. in the past two years.
They have been leaving as the government intensifies a crackdown on opposition voices since early 2021, high global inflation slams families’ buying power and job opportunities remain limited at home.
That swell of Nicaraguan arrivals to the U.S. was part of the reason the Biden administration announced in January that it would begin turning them away at the border if they did not first register online to make asylum petitions. Their numbers have dropped precipitously since.
But Martínez, who arrived in late 2021, and others already there are keeping Nicaragua’s economy afloat with the more than $3.2 billion they sent home last year.
Last year’s huge jump, “can only be explained by the disproportionate increase in migrants,” Nicaraguan economist Enrique Sáenz said.
Emigration “has become (President Daniel Ortega’s) main macroeconomic policy and his main social policy,” Saenz said.
Ortega’s increasingly authoritarian government has drawn sanctions from the U.S. government and Europe, but the measures have been targeted toward his inner circle and members of his administration to avoid adding more economic hardship for average Nicaraguans.
Still, for the fiscal year ending last September, U.S. authorities recorded more than 163,000 encounters with Nicaraguans, more than three times the 2021 total. Encounters peaked in December with more than 35,000 and then plummeted to 3,377 in January.
The reasons vary from a lack of economic opportunity to outright persecution of political opponents and voices of dissent. Ortega cracked down violently after popular protests broke out in April 2018. He ratcheted up the pressure in 2021 ahead of national elections.
Earlier this month, he put 222 imprisoned opponents on a plane to Washington, saying he was sending the “terrorists” back to their foreign sponsor.
Until last year, Costa Rica had been the primary destination for Nicaraguans in recent years. But the small neighboring country’s asylum system is overwhelmed, the wait now stretches years and its economy has struggled to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Costa Rica President Rodrigo Chaves tightened the generous asylum system in December, arguing that it was being abused by economic migrants.
Those factors made the U.S. a more attractive destination despite the distance. Ortega blames the U.S. sanctions for the emigration.
In Martínez’s case, he left because he had participated in anti-government protests in 2018 and feared he could be arrested at any moment. “I miss my mother and I love Nicaragua, but there was nothing else to do. It was leave or be taken prisoner at some point.”
Many others reached the same decision.
Nicaragua’s government released data late last year showing that between Sept. 17 and Oct. 7, it issued 20,192 passports. In the capital, residents camped out on sidewalks just to get one of the limited numbers called each day to process a passport application.
Sabrina Gazol Moncada, a 28-year-old college student who had to drop out to find work, left Nicaragua in October, the month after her husband travelled to the U.S.
“It’s a really difficult decision to make, because ultimately you are leaving your country, your family, the people who support you and love you,” she said.
Gazol moved north on buses, on foot and stuffed into semi-trailers with 200 others. After three weeks of often rough and frightening travel through Central America and Mexico, Gazol crossed the Rio Grande near Eagle Pass, Texas, turned herself over to Border Patrol and began the process to seek asylum.
In Nicaragua, “people who are not with the Ortega regime are threatened and persecuted, there’s no freedom of expression,” she said.
She had not been able to send money home since arriving in the U.S., because she was still awaiting permission to work as she pursued asylum.
“In Nicaragua, the government does what it wants and everybody is looking for a way out,” she said. “In the end, Nicaragua is going to be left without young people, it’s going to be a ghost country.” | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/international/ap-fleeing-nicaraguans-a-boon-to-economy-back-home/ | 2023-02-26 22:56:47 | 0 | https://www.texomashomepage.com/news/international/ap-fleeing-nicaraguans-a-boon-to-economy-back-home/ |
Advertisements with themes of female empowerment have become more popular in recent years with companies that sell everything from cosmetics to cars. A new study published by a University of Maine professor shows that while these advertisements are perceived as empowering by the women who viewed them, they do not lead to subjects thinking more about empowerment when put to the test.
True empowerment gives individuals the perception that they have some control over their life’s outcomes, and has been empirically linked with positive health impacts like greater community engagement, reduced burnout in the workplace and improved overall well-being.
While there is ample information about the harmful effects of objectification in women’s media, there is little evidence to speak to the potentially beneficial effects of empowering messages. The fact that these messages of empowerment are being used in advertisements for companies that have long profited off of women’s insecurities, like cosmetics companies, also calls their impact into question.
“Empowerment-themed advertisements are popular among female consumers, and for good reason,” says Amelia Couture Bue, assistant professor of media studies in the Department of Communication and Journalism at UMaine. “For many consumers, they represent a refreshing departure from the traditionally objectifying campaigns that women have voiced frustration with for decades. But while it’s easy to let our guard down, the presence of empowering narratives doesn’t negate the fact that many of these advertisements still contain images and other message themes that we know from prior research to be problematic. Testing whether or not these empowerment-themed advertisements succeed in making women feel empowered is an important step toward encouraging companies to invest resources in creating messages that succeed beyond a nominal level.”
While pursuing her Ph.D. at the University of Michigan, Couture Bue led a study along with Sonya Dal Cin and Kristen Harrison at the University of Michigan Department of Communication and Media investigating whether empowerment-themed advertisements primed women to think more about empowerment.
The researchers recruited 273 women ages 18 to 35 to view advertisements with high and low levels of objectification and empowerment. For example, beauty advertisements that included empowerment messages but also fixated on conventionally beautiful models’ physical features, like those from Covergirl, Pantene and Under Armor, were considered high in both objectification and empowerment; advertisements without empowering messages that still focused on models’ appearance were high in objectification and low in empowerment. Meanwhile, advertisements that had empowerment-themed messages and showed women performing a range of activities, including sports, without focusing on their appearance were considered high in empowerment and low in objectification. Those that neither mentioned empowerment nor focused on women’s physical beauty — think commercials for Apple, Geico, Allstate and Microsoft — were designated as low on both metrics.
After viewing their randomly assigned advertisement, women were asked about their perceived feelings of empowerment. Then, they were asked to perform lexical decision tasks — a standard psychological method of quickly distinguishing between words and non-words in order to measure schema activation, which shows whether complex topics have been activated or stimulated in the brain — containing empowerment and objectification themed words.
“Self-reporting our emotional experiences can be difficult, especially when we’re experiencing mixed affect or seemingly conflicting emotions. While self-reports of emotion provide valuable data, implicit measures like the lexical decision task we used in this study help us understand what participants are experiencing at a more subconscious level,” Couture Bue says. “Measuring empowerment and objectification simultaneously through the lexical decision task also allowed us to make a more direct comparison than explicit measures would.”
The results showed that women reported greater perceived empowerment after viewing advertisements that had those messages, even if the advertisements also included physical objectification. However, women also reported more awareness of their appearance for all high objectification advertisements, regardless of whether they had themes of empowerment.
In contrast, the results from the lexical decision tasks showed that empowerment-themed advertisements are no more effective in activating empowerment schemas for the subjects than traditional advertisements. However, the study did find that objectifying traditional advertisements — that is, those beauty ads with high levels of objectification and no messages of empowerment — slowed participants’ responses to words across all categories, supporting the idea that self-objectification is cognitively taxing.
“We expected to find a simple relationship where the images in these advertisements primed objectification schemas, and experiencing self-objectification, in turn, explained why women didn’t report feeling empowered after seeing these types of advertisements in other studies — but this wasn’t what we found,” Couture Bue says. “At least on an implicit level, participants who showed greater activation of empowerment schemas often showed greater activation of objectification schemas too. This finding suggests that objectification may not be the only thing limiting the effectiveness of these advertisements. It also suggests that mental models of empowerment and objectification may not be as oppositional as we initially thought. I think this finding is indicative of how closely linked feelings of attractiveness and empowerment are for many women within Western cultures and how far we have to go in understanding media and empowerment.”
The study, published November 2022 in the journal Media Psychology, reinforced the idea that the relationship between empowerment and objectification in media is complex, but it will take more than feminist messaging in a shampoo commercial to create real change. | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/12/10/bdn-maine/new-research-shows-empowering-advertisements-fall-short-in-cognitive-tests/ | 2022-12-10 18:46:54 | 1 | https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/12/10/bdn-maine/new-research-shows-empowering-advertisements-fall-short-in-cognitive-tests/ |

If you have unexplained episodes of diarrhea, constipation or gastrointestinal distress you could be one of the more than 25 million people in the U.S. with irritable bowel syndrome.
For relief, your doctor may steer you toward a new kind of treatment that integrates diet change with tools to work through the stress that often triggers symptoms.
Rather than relying only on medications that mask symptoms, doctors are prescribing a combination of diet counseling with therapies, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness and even hypnotherapy. (They will first run tests to rule out conditions such as colitis, Crohn's or celiac disease.)
"There has been a real sea change in terms of managing patients," says William Chey, a gastroenterologist at the University of Michigan who has documented the benefits of integrative care. "The doctor has become an educator, somebody to help the patient to understand how he or she can help themselves."
But most gastroenterology practices don't have a registered dietician, psychologist or stress-management professional on staff, so finding this integrative treatment isn't easy.
To fill in the gaps, doctors have started to recommend virtual support – apps – that let people access stress management and dietary strategies, on their own at home. Some apps are FDA authorized and require a doctor's prescription; others can be downloaded on your own.
Here's what to know about the science behind the integrative approach and how the new apps work.
A miswiring of the brain-gut connection
Let's start with the basic re-set in thinking about IBS. It's not just a problem of the gut. Scientists now know that disturbances in the way the nervous system, brain and gut interact can cause changes that trigger or worsen IBS symptoms, including stomach pain, bloating, diarrhea and constipation.
"There's a continuous feedback loop between the brain and the gut," explains Suzanne Smith, a nurse practitioner at UCLA's Integrative Digestive Health and Wellness program. Information flows along the vagus nerve, which connects brain to gut, so what's happening in the mind affects the gastrointestinal system.
Smith says stress and anxiety can increase sensations of pain in the body and disrupt the GI system. When you feel an unpleasant sensation in the body, "it's registered as a threat, and the stress response is mounted," she says. "That gets that negative feedback loop going."
In a crisis – if your arm is broken – this amped up pain response is useful. It signals you should get help. But if there's nothing structural to be treated, which can be the case with IBS, the heightened stress response is a problem, and can keep us stuck in the nervous system's fight-or-flight mode. Every cramp or stomach sensation can register as a threat. The brain and the gut are talking, but it's almost as if the brain is misinterpreting the signal.
Quiet the nervous system with mindfulness and relaxation techniques
A pillar of the integrative approach and many of the apps is to help patients limit anticipatory anxiety, and halt the feedback loop that can amplify the unpleasant feelings and sensations associated with IBS symptoms.
Mindfulness techniques can help patients tamp down the anxiety linked to their symptoms by learning to foster awareness of the present moment. In 2020, a study of patients who participated in an 8-week Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction course found that 71% of the patients had robust improvements in their GI symptoms.
"There was a significant improvement in quality of life and overall well-being," Smith says.
The program includes various tools to help get patients to cultivate awareness and calm, including body scans, breathing exercises, or walking meditation.
It may raise eyebrows but hypnosis is another technique shown to help quiet the nervous system. New apps deliver specifically gut-directed hypnotherapy, including Meta Me (which requires a prescription) and Nerva, which people can purchase and download without a prescription. One small study found that about 70% of patients using Nerva had significant improvement in symptoms.
It's not at all like what you'd see in the movies. There's no pendulum swinging in front of your face. Gut-directed hypnotherapy combines relaxation techniques with suggestions and guided imagery to help reset communication between the gut and the brain.
When John Mastro, 38, of Melbourne, Australia, first heard about gut-directed hypnotherapy he was experiencing frequent bouts of GI distress that made him hesitant to join in normal day-to-day activities. "There was this sort of anxiety around the idea of leaving home, you know, the symptoms would just suddenly appear," Mastro recalls.
Doctors had ruled out serious conditions and suggested stress could be a factor, but Mastro wasn't convinced.
"I just sort of refused to believe that, hey, this could be some form of anxiety that's triggering," he recalls, though he was under a lot of stress running a business. He says using the Nerva app helped him understand the connection.
How hypnosis can calm IBS symptoms
Hypnosis can address "the hypervigilance and hypersensitivity that happens in patients that have irritable bowel syndrome," explains Megan Riehl, a GI clinical psychologist at the University of Michigan who has been offering patients gut-directed hypnotherapy for several years.
"Our brain and our gut are communicating all the time. And if you're somebody that has a digestive problem, it's like the communication is turned up way too high," she says. Hypnosis "helps calm that conversation down."
The technique usually starts with taking some long, slow breaths, to activate the parasympathetic nervous system, followed by a type of body scan.
"You visualize, say, your chest relaxing or your stomach relaxing, your intestines relaxing," says Ron Berli, 75, one of Riehl's patients who lives in Grosse Pointe Park, Michigan. "You're not into a deep sleep. I would call it just a deep relaxation. It's almost like sitting in a hot tub."
What distinguishes hypnotherapy from meditation alone is that after you've started to relax, a psychologist will talk you through a script. On the Nerva app, it's a calming, mellifluous voice actor reading the script.
"Powerful changes are happening inside your body. Imagine the sensations of abdominal pain are becoming a thing of the past," the soothing voice intones.
The voice tells you to imagine that you've been welcomed into an apothecary, where smells of herbs and concoctions fill the air. A pharmacist has made an imaginary special medicine just for you. You're told it will create comfort and that it will soothe the line of communication between your mind and your gut.
"You're put into a very calm state," Mastro says. And the changes or "suggestions" articulated in the 15-minute sessions start to feel real, he says.
The app also includes short readings that distill the science of the gut-brain connection into easy-to-understand bits. Mastro says he came to understand how he was changing his physiology, activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which slows down the heart rate, lowers blood pressure and improves the digestive process.
"It's been nothing but transformative," Mastro says. He rarely has symptoms now, and when he does, he says he feels equipped to dial them back using the techniques he's learned.
Cognitive tools to redirect anxious thoughts
There's a lot of overlap between hypnosis, meditation, mindfulness based stress reduction and CBT, or cognitive behavioral therapy, which has a deep body of scientific research behind it. The basic gist of CBT is that it helps people identify the connection between their patterns of thinking, their emotions and their actions. And the goal is to recognize and alter their patterns of negative thinking.
CBT has been shown to help people overcome insomnia and poor sleep, and researchers are studying its effect on IBS too.
The idea is to help patients learn to "re-train" their thought processes to develop a more positive way of thinking, less likely to trigger stress.
For instance, if you're hesitant to go out to eat because you're worried about having a bathroom emergency, CBT can help break the cycle of catastrophic, negative thoughts. A more realistic assessment of the situation is to realize that if you did sense an urgent need to have a bowel movement, you could excuse yourself to the restroom.
There are now apps to deliver IBS-tailored CBT. Mahana is authorized by the FDA for the condition and requires a doctor's prescription. Depending where you live, you can get a consult and prescription from within the app for a fee. Zemedy from Bold Health is another CBT-based digital app that has been shown to be effective in a small trial.
The benefit of the technique goes well beyond controlling symptoms of CBT. By developing more positive thoughts, CBT has been shown to improve overall mental health.
Foods to avoid to manage IBS symptoms
Changing what's on the menu is another key tool for people to manage IBS.
The University of Michigan has had a dedicated GI nutrition program since 2007. "When I started to talk about diet as an important part of treating patients with IBS at that time, people literally laughed at me," Chey says. "But now almost every gastroenterologist accepts that diet is an important part of the solution."
The FODMAP diet has gained the most attention from researchers. FODMAP stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides and polyols — and the diet requires elimination or reduction of certain foods known to commonly cause gut distress, including gluten, lactose, excess fructose (found in some fruits and corn syrup) as well as certain nuts, beans and starchy vegetables.
Studies show somewhere between 52% to 86% of participants report significant improvement in their symptoms after following the diet, including reduced gas and bloating.
Researchers at Monash University in Australia explain that the FODMAP diet is based on the understanding that certain compounds in our diet can't be completely digested or absorbed, so they can end up in the large intestine where they're fermented by gut bacteria. This leads to gas and bloating.
"I saw the benefits almost within the first week," says Karen Beningo of Northville, Mich., who was treated at the University of Michigan. After she started the FODMAP diet she found her energy level improved significantly. "The distension and the bloating went away very quick," she says.
After following the diet strictly, she's now added some foods back to her diet. She knows gluten is a trigger, so she remains gluten-free and avoids onions, broccoli and Brussels sprouts, as well as some nuts. The diet helped her learn what her triggers were.
"It was only through calming down my system and then reintroducing [them] that I pretty much confirmed, yeah, I've got a problem with those things," she explains.
Following a rigorous diet takes a lot of awareness – luckily there's an app for this one. Monash University has this FODMAP app that can help people follow the diet, detailing which foods, in which amounts, are ok, and which ones should be avoided.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Howard University is turning to an experienced scholar of the African diaspora to serve as its new university president.
Ben Vinson III, currently the provost at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, will officially take over as president from the retiring Wayne Frederick on Sept. 1. Vinson is a historian specializing in studies of the African diaspora, particularly in Latin America.
His appointment comes at a crucial time for the historically Black university; the venerable institution is riding a wave of national prominence, with illustrious alumni, major funding boosts and high-profile staff additions.
Vinson called the Howard position, “the honor of a lifetime,” in a statement put out by the university.
“Howard’s incredible legacy, its remarkable trajectory, combined with the fine talent of its faculty and staff, situate Howard at the uppermost echelons of higher education,” he said.
Vinson grew up partially in the D.C. area and graduated from high school in neighboring Alexandria, Virginia. His list of academic roles includes senior positions at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore and George Washington University in Washington.
“I look forward to returning to the DMV (the greater D.C. area), which I consider home, and working with the broader campus community to fortify Howard and help build upon its incredible tradition of delivering excellence, truth, and service to greater humanity,” he said.
Long one of the jewels of the Historically Black College and Universities network, Howard is enjoying a season of plenty. High-profile alumni like Vice President Kamala Harris and the late “Black Panther” actor Chadwick Boseman have brought fresh prominence and rising enrollment numbers. Major benefactors like NBA star Steph Curry and MacKenzie Scott, the ex-wife of Amazon founder and Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos, have come to Howard with significant donations.
The university has also leveraged its prominence to secure a string of headline-grabbing faculty members. Two of America’s most prominent writers on race relations, Nikole Hannah-Jones and Ta-Nehisi Coates, joined the university in 2021, and famed actress and Tony Award winner Phylicia Rashad now heads the College of Fine Arts. | https://cbs4indy.com/news/politics/ap-politics/howard-u-picks-african-diaspora-scholar-as-next-president/ | 2023-05-03 03:38:37 | 0 | https://cbs4indy.com/news/politics/ap-politics/howard-u-picks-african-diaspora-scholar-as-next-president/ |

Texas AAA driving tips for Texoma winter storm
Erin Pellet
SHERMAN, Texas (KXII) - Freezing rain began falling across the Texoma area on Monday. With more freezing rain and sleet in the forecast, road conditions are deteriorating rapidly.
Hazardous driving conditions bring life-threatening circumstances. Texas AAA Spokesperson, Daniel Armbruster, says if you do not have to drive in these conditions, stay home. However, he shared protocols drivers should follow should they have to get out on the icy roads.
“The biggest mistake is just going too fast, getting in a hurry, and not leaving yourself enough room to maneuver your vehicle if you need to,” Armbruster said.
Additionally, Armbruster said it is important for drivers to use their brakes only when traveling under 25 mph. Otherwise, it could cause the vehicle to lose control.
“If you’re going over 25 miles per hour, you’re really more than likely going to need to steer out of that skid, so look and steer in the direction you want your vehicle to go,” Armbruster said.
There are also precautions drivers should take even before getting behind the wheel. First, drivers should get their tire tread and tire pressure checked.
“The cold weather can cause the tire to lose pressure, underinflated tires can be dangerous to drive on and it makes your vehicle harder to control,” Armbruster said.
Texas AAA urges drivers to prepare an emergency to keep in their cars. These kits should be stocked with items that could help in case of a dangerous situation.
Items AAA recommends are a traction aid, sand or kitty litter, jumper cables, a flashlight with extra batteries, coats and other warm gear, snacks, extra water, a phone charger and an ice scraper.
Additionally, Armbruster said to make sure your gas tank is at least half full because, in the event of an emergency, it may take extra time for help to arrive.
Armbruster said those who drive too fast in these icy conditions are the ones they usually find in a ditch. If you must drive during this ice storm, go slow and be prepared.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire’s highest court on Wednesday turned away the latest attempt to get a sentence reduction for Pamela Smart, who is serving life in prison for plotting with her teenage lover to have her husband killed in 1990.
Smart, 55, was a 22-year-old high school media coordinator when she began an affair with a 15-year-old student who later shot and killed her husband, Gregory Smart. He was freed in 2015 after serving a 25-year sentence. Though she denied knowledge of the plot, she was convicted of conspiracy to commit murder and other crimes and sentenced to life without parole.
Having exhausted her judicial appeal options, Smart returned for a third time to an elected state council, seeking a sentence reduction hearing last year. The five-member Executive Council, which approves state contracts and appointees to the courts and state agencies, rejected her latest request in less than three minutes, prompting another appeal to state Supreme Court.
The justices dismissed the petition Wednesday, saying it would violate the separation of powers to order the council to reconsider a “political” question.
“This ruling by the New Hampshire Supreme Court is a continuing disappointment that devastates our hopes for Pamela Smart finally receiving reasonable and fair process in the State of New Hampshire,” Smart’s spokeswoman, Eleanor Pam, said in an email.
She added that Smart “has never been given the opportunity to be heard or allowed to make her case directly. Pamela Smart is fully rehabilitated and is no danger to society.”
The state attorney general’s office has opposed commutation for Smart, saying she has never accepted full responsibility for the crimes.
Smart, who has earned two master’s degrees behind bars, tutored fellow inmates, been ordained as a minister and is part of an inmate liaison committee, said in her latest petition that she is remorseful and has been rehabilitated. She apologized to Gregory Smart’s family, though relatives said she has failed to take full responsibility.
A cousin of Gregory Smart was glad to hear of the court’s dismissal.
“She has had more than her fair share of being heard,” Val Fryatt said. “It is not easy for us. We are coming up on 33 years without Gregg, and never once has she admitted her part, so I am unsure how she is rehabilitated. Gregg is the true victim in all of this. Pamela needs to admit what she did not only for my family’s sake but for her family’s sake, as well.”
Smart’s longtime attorney, Mark Sisti, argued that the elected council “brushed aside” her chance at freedom, spending no time discussing her voluminous petition — which included many letters of support from inmates, supervisors and others — before rejecting her request.
“We will not stop our attempts to free Pam Smart,” Sisti said in a statement. Smart can refile a petition with the council every two years.
As governor, Chris Sununu brings forth matters for the council to consider, and did put the commutation request on the agenda, argued Laura Lombardi, senior assistant attorney general. She said there is no requirement for the governor and council to create rules regarding the process.
The trial was a media circus and one of America’s first high-profile cases about a sexual affair between a school staff member and a student. Joyce Maynard wrote “To Die For” in 1992, drawing from the Smart case. That inspired a 1995 film of the same name, starring Nicole Kidman and Joaquin Phoenix. The killer, William Flynn, and three other teens cooperated with prosecutors, served shorter sentences and have been released.
In February, several of Smart’s supporters traveled to New Hampshire to hear the court discuss the case, wearing pink T-shirts with the words “Enough is Enough.”
Kelly Harnett, 41, who designed the T-shirts, did time with Smart at the maximum security Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in New York. She said Smart helped her through legal and personal setbacks, and deserves a hearing.
Vanessa Santiago also met Smart in 2003 as a fellow inmate, working with her as a teacher’s aide and participating with her in an arts rehabilitation program. They stayed in touch after Santiago’s release from Bedford in 2020, and she too supports her petition.
“Pamela is like an icon in a sense, meaning, she has life with no parole, and when things are tough, you remember Pamela,” Santiago said.

INDIANAPOLIS — What began as a death investigation Wednesday morning is now being investigated as a homicide, police say.
According to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department, officers were dispatched to the 1000 block of East Washington Street around 8 a.m. Wednesday.
Officers found a man suffering from what appeared to be traumatic injuries, police said. EMS pronounced him dead at the scene.
While IMPD initially called this a death investigation, the Marion County Coroner’s Office later ruled the man’s death a homicide. His name has not yet been released.
Anyone with information should contact Detective Eric Amos at the IMPD Homicide Office at (317) 327-3475 or via email at Eric.Amos@indy.gov.

(NEXSTAR) — There’s Sir Purr with the Carolina Panthers and Sourdough Sam with the San Francisco 49ers. The Baltimore Ravens have Poe and the Indianapolis Colts have Blue. No, these aren’t specialty players you’ve never heard of – they’re mascots.
There are a total of 32 teams in the National Football League. Five are mascot-less as of the 2022 season: the Green Bay Packers, the Los Angeles Chargers, the New York Giants, the New York Jets, and the Washington Commanders.
Here is a look at the current NFL team mascots:
Of the five teams that don’t have a mascot, one is well on his way to adding one. As part of their current rebranding, the Commanders are giving fans a chance to vote on their mascot later this month.
Regardless, here are the five NFL teams that, as of the start of the 2022 season, do not have an official on-field mascot.
Green Bay Packers
The name ‘Packers’ is a nod to the Acme Meat Packing Company, which no longer exists but helped get the team started in the early 1900s.
There isn’t exactly a good mascot to represent the Packers either, though the team has tried. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Packers introduced a sausage-carrying bearded giant known as Packy Packer in the 1980s. He survived just two seasons and the Packers have been without a mascot since.
A Packers spokesperson tells Nexstar that a mascot has never seemed to catch on or naturally align with the team’s “already rich history and tradition.”
“We find that our fans are engaged with our games and excited about the team in their own unique ways.”
While they are without a mascot, the Packers do have cheerleaders.
Los Angeles Chargers
The Chargers did have an unofficial mascot of sorts – Boltman – while they were in San Diego. In 2018, the man behind Boltman, Dan Jauregui, retired from the role after 22 years.
In 2020, the Chargers “acquired” an unofficial furry mascot, Bolt, a puppy on his way to becoming a service dog. The Chargers partnered with Canine Companions for Independence to follow Bolt on his journey. He also appeared at various team practices and games.
Bolt has since graduated and the Chargers have brought on a new pup, Brisket. The team previously had a cheer squad, known as the Charger Girls, but they were reportedly disbanded last year.
The Chargers haven’t responded to Nexstar’s request for comment.
New York Giants
There isn’t really an answer as to why the Giants don’t have a mascot – they just don’t. However, there was a Campbell Soup ad in the early 2010s that featured a woman in a large-headed Giants player costume.
Additionally, the team doesn’t have cheerleaders.
The Giants haven’t responded to Nexstar’s request for comment.
New York Jets
While it may seem easy enough for the Jets to have a mascot, the team doesn’t have one – they even note it on their FAQ page. The team does have cheerleaders, known as the Jets Flight Crew.
The Jets haven’t responded to Nexstar’s request for comment.
Washington Commanders
Of all five teams on this list, the Commanders are the closest to having a mascot. As part of their rebranding, the Commanders recently asked fans to vote on what type of mascot they should have.
Voting has now closed, but fans were able to select from one of four categories: dog, hog, historical figure, or superhero.
According to the Commanders’ website, renderings of the highest-voted options will be shared during the team’s September 25 game. Fans in attendance will then have the chance to vote on their favorite design. | https://www.cenlanow.com/national/the-washington-commanders-are-getting-a-mascot-but-these-4-nfl-teams-are-without-one/ | 2022-09-25 17:51:29 | 0 | https://www.cenlanow.com/national/the-washington-commanders-are-getting-a-mascot-but-these-4-nfl-teams-are-without-one/ |
This year’s Hajj is a landmark: the first full pilgrimage after a daunting three-year period when the COVID-19 pandemic sharply reduced the scale of one of Islam’s holiest and most beloved rites.
Millions of Muslims from around the world will start converging next week on Mecca in Saudi Arabia to begin the several days of rituals at holy sites in and around the city. For pilgrims, it is the ultimate spiritual moment of their lives, a chance to seek God’s forgiveness for their sins and walk in the footsteps of revered prophets like Muhammad and Abraham.
It’s a mass, communal experience, with Muslims of many races and classes performing it together as one. But it is also deeply personal; every pilgrim brings their own yearnings and experiences.
The Associated Press spoke to several pilgrims from far-flung places as they prepared for their journey.
GAZA:
It’s been hard, raising 10 children on her own and living in the Gaza Strip, blockaded on all sides and torn by multiple wars. But Huda Zaqqout says her life feels miraculous because she is surrounded by her family, including 30 grandchildren.
And now, at 64, she is finally going on Hajj. It just so happens that now, after an easing of Saudi policy, more women pilgrims can participate without a “mahram,” or a male relative to escort them. It’s serendipitous timing for Zaqqout, who has waited years for this opportunity, and whose sons cannot afford to make the long, arduous trip from Gaza to Mecca.
“Gaza is like a prison. We are locked up from all directions and borders,” she said.
Instead, she will travel with a group of women, all over 60.
It will be a dream come true for Zaqqout, who says her dreams are often premonitions.
There was the dream that predicted her triplets. Or another that promised something good would follow something bad. The bad turned out to be that, after serving 10 years in prison, her husband took a younger, second wife and eventually left Zaqqout. But the good, she says, was that she emerged stronger, blessed by the love of her large family.
In April, she dreamt Prophet Muhammad was standing beside her.
“After I saw the prophet, I just felt I want to be there, in his proximity,” she said. She immediately signed up for an Umrah, the so-called “lesser pilgrimage” to Mecca that can happen any time.
She had registered for Hajj in 2010 but had never been selected to go. After she returned from Umrah, she nervously tuned into the radio broadcast announcing this year’s Hajj pilgrims. She fell to the ground, crying with joy, when her name was announced.
For Gazans, the trip is particularly hard. The tiny Mediterranean coastal territory has been blockaded by Israel and Egypt since 2007, when the militant group Hamas took power. Though pilgrims are allowed to travel, it is a bureaucratic nightmare. Then the arduous bus ride to Cairo Airport takes at least 15 hours and sometimes twice that due to long waits at the border and Egyptian checkpoints in the Sinai.
That hasn’t dampened Zaqqout’s joy. Her neighbors congratulate her. She watches YouTube videos to learn the Hajj rituals and goes to physiotherapy for her feet, which often hurt, knowing she’ll be doing a lot of standing and walking.
At her house in an old section of Gaza City, her grandchildren throng around her. At one point as she told her story, Zaqqout started to cry; the children hugged her and cried with her. When she went shopping for gifts, prayer mats and clothes, one grandson insisted on accompanying her, holding her hand the whole time.
Zaqqout feels Hajj is the last thing on her life’s to-do list. She has no debts, her children are married and have families. “After that, I don’t need anything from life.”
On Mount Arafat, the climactic moment of the Hajj, she said she will pray for peace and love between people. And she'll pray for her family.
“I would like to see my children live a happy life and be proud of their children.”
INDONESIA:
At a rural intersection outside Jakarta, 85-year-old Husin bin Nisan stands guard, his hands nimbly signaling for vehicles to stop or proceed. It’s a blind curve, and approaching traffic can’t see what’s coming. Now and then, a driver thanks him with a few coins that he tucks into his orange vest.
Husin is a “Pak Ogah,” a type of volunteer traffic warden found across Indonesia. Nearly every day for more than 30 years, he has directed traffic in a poor village called Peusar, living off tips equivalent to a few dollars a day.
The whole time, he has put aside coins for his dream. It has been a wait of more than 15 years, but finally Husin is going on the Hajj.
Husin tearfully recounted the prayer he had repeated: “I beg you, God … open the way for me to go to Mecca and Medina. Please give your blessing.”
Indonesia, the world’s most populous Muslim nation, has a staggeringly long line of citizens wanting to go on Hajj; wait times can last decades. It lengthened even more when Saudi Arabia barred foreign pilgrims in 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, when Hajj reopened but with age restrictions, less than half of Indonesia’s quota could attend, said Arsyad Hidayat, director of Hajj Development at the Religious Affairs Ministry.
“The waiting period for the pilgrims was doubled,” he said. “And when it returns to normal to 100% of our quota, the impact of not having the pilgrimage for two years is still there.”
To catch up, Indonesia negotiated with Saudi Arabia and received an additional 8,000 spots this year, reaching an all-time high of 229,000. Authorities are giving special preference to the elderly. Nearly 67,000 of this year’s pilgrims are above 65, including more than 8,200 above 85. The eldest is a 118-year-old woman. The elderly will get extra services, including first-class flights and special accommodations and health care.
Husin has spent much of his life awaiting this chance. After two decades working as a Pak Ogah, he managed in 2009 to save the 25 million rupiah ($1,680) needed to register for the pilgrimage. It took four more years before authorities conveyed the date he would go – 2022, nearly a decade in the future.
When 2022 arrived, he couldn’t go because he was over the age limit. It was a blow, but he kept his faith that the pandemic would end and he would make it to Mecca.
A father of four and grandfather of six, Husin still works every day. His wife helps him put on his vest in their small home. Thin, with thick white hair and white beard, he walks to his intersection. He sometimes stands directing traffic for 12 hours a day, taking breaks sitting under a tree by a nearby cemetery.
Earlier this year, he paid off the remaining 26 million rupiah ($1,750) and was confirmed for this year’s Hajj.
In early June, Husin packed his suitcase, including his “ihram,” the white robe that all male pilgrims wear. Then he put on his best clothes and said goodbye to his family and friends. He began his journey.
“Now, I could die in peace at any time because God has answered my prayer,” he said.
LEBANON:
Abbas Bazzi doesn’t fit most people’s image of a religiously observant Muslim. With his long hair pulled back in a bun, he co-owns an organic cafe and grocery in Beirut’s trendy Badaro neighborhood. He sells sugar-free smoothies and vegan shawarma sandwiches. He teaches conscious breathing classes, practices reiki healing and does yoga.
He is now preparing for what he hopes will be his fourth Hajj journey.
Bazzi was born in a Shiite Muslim community in south Lebanon; his parents were secularists who never went to mosque. He took an interest in Islam on his own, beginning to pray at age 9 and to fast at 11. Later, he studied all the major world religions – “a journey from west to east,” he said. But he remained most convinced by Islam.
Bazzi attributes his early interest in religion to the circumstances surrounding his birth. He was born prematurely, at home, in 1981, at the height of Lebanon’s civil war. The newborn was not breathing properly, so a friend of his mother’s – a religiously observant woman – gave him rescue breathing until they could get him to the hospital.
In the first month of his life, Bazzi said, he was so sickly that his parents didn't name him, fearing he would die. Although not a practicing Muslim, his father made a vow: If his son lived, he would name him for Imam Abbas, one of Shiite Islam’s most revered figures. The child lived; his father kept his promise.
As Bazzi grew up, he explored spiritual practices, including meditation and yoga. While others found the blend between those practices and Islam strange, he saw them as complementary.
Some people may think that a Hajj pilgrim should look different or pray more conspicuously, he said, but “I made a decision in my life that all of my life will be in service to the divine project.”
In 2017, at 36, Bazzi applied for the Hajj. But up to the last minute, he hadn’t received his visa. He went to the airport with his group of pilgrims and saw them off, waving goodbye. The next morning, he got a call saying his visa was ready. He scrambled to book a new ticket and followed his friends to Mecca.
“I’ve gotten used to surprises in my life,” he said with a laugh.
In Mecca, he said, “I saw peace. I saw this is the only place where people are gathered from every country in the world, every color … different doctrines. I saw unity, I saw love.”
He returned the next year, and the years after that, feeling he had more to learn. “It’s not possible to reach knowledge of all of (Islam) in a single trip or a single day.”
This year could be another nail-biter. His visa is approved, but his passport has expired. Renewing it was delayed because so many Lebanese are trying to get passports to leave the country since its economy collapsed in 2019.
Time is running short.
“I am praying,” Bazzi said. “God willing, if it’s meant to happen, it will happen.”
UNITED STATES
A wave of emotions washed over Saadiha Khaliq as she reflected on the spiritual significance of her upcoming pilgrimage to Mecca, more than 11,000 kilometers (7,000 miles) from her home in the U.S. state of Tennessee.
“It’s really this invitation and this honor,” said the 41-year-old Pakistani-American engineer, who lives near Nashville. “You just hope that you’re worthy of that honor and that it’s accepted from you.”
Her tears flowed.
Undertaking the pilgrimage has been on Khaliq’s mind for several years; she would read and watch videos about Hajj rituals and ask others who had gone about their experiences.
Her religious quest gained urgency during the coronavirus pandemic.
“The pandemic really put things in perspective,” she said. “Life is short, and you have limited opportunities to do things that you really want to do.”
This year, she applied for places on the Hajj for herself and her parents. While they’ve been to Mecca before, this will be the first Hajj for all three.
“This is kind of a big, lifelong dream and achievement for them,” she said. “And I’m just grateful that I get to be part of the whole experience.”
Khaliq was born in the United Kingdom. In the 1990s, her family moved to the United States and eventually to Tennessee, where her father is a mathematics professor.
As part of her preparations, she’s trying to go in with a clean slate, from clearing financial obligations to working to make amends and seek forgiveness from family members or friends who she might have had issues with.
“It’s very hard to stand there (in Mecca), if there’s negativity in your heart ... if you made space for things that are resentment or anger,” she said. “And I’m still working on cleansing that part of my heart.”
As the date nears, she has experienced an array of emotions, including a sense of going into the unknown.
She marvels at the sense of unity and humility that comes as Muslims of diverse backgrounds from around the world pray next to one another. All of them, she said, are on a journey to God, seeking forgiveness.
“You are now standing before him without any of your social status, your wealth, and you come before him with some good deeds and some bad deeds,” she said. “All you can do, as a Muslim, is hope that at the end of the day, this is pleasing to God.”
IRAQ:
Two years ago, the pandemic wrecked Talal Mundhir’s Hajj plans. So the 52-year-old Iraqi took no chances when he and his wife were confirmed for this year's pilgrimage.
He stopped playing soccer, one of his favorite pastimes, fearing he might get injured and be unable to go.
A resident of the central Iraqi city of Tikrit, Mundhir tried to go on Hajj several times over the past two decades, but never made the draw. Finally, he was accepted -- in 2021, when no foreigners could go because of COVID-19.
It was a close call this year as well, since Mundhir is unemployed amid Iraq’s economic crisis. But he and his siblings recently sold a property they inherited from their father. His portion of the proceeds covered the Hajj expenses.
Last week, Mundhir and his wife set off with their group for Mecca for an early arrival before the pilgrimage’s official start on June 26. It was 36 grueling hours on a bus across the desert.
But he said all the exhaustion from the road vanished once he and his wife visited the Haram, the mosque in Mecca that houses the Kaaba, Islam’s holiest site. Millions of pilgrims will walk seven times around the cube-shaped Kaaba to kick off their Hajj.
“I can’t describe the feeling,” Mundhir wrote in a text message from Mecca. “I felt such mental ease, but at the same time, tears. I don’t know if they were tears of joy or of humility.”

CHARLESTON, WV (WOWK) — As the Fourth of July approaches, many places in the area are preparing their firework shows.
While fireworks are an American tradition to celebrate Independence Day, some with sensitive ears, such as pets or veterans, can experience high anxiety during the blasts.
To help with this anxiety, 13 News has compiled a list of ways to assist pets, dementia patients and veterans during firework celebrations.
Pets
Health communications agency Curation says loud firework noises can cause fear and anxiety in dogs, causing them to run away or hide. When a dog does this, they are experiencing noise aversion, which causes symptoms similar to a panic attack.
With this in mind, it is important to keep an eye on unusual behavior from your dog that is triggered by loud noises. During Fourth of July celebrations, there are several ways to help your dog cope with stress from firework shows.
- Keep pets secured in a quiet room during the displays.
- Talk to your veterinarian about products and medications that may help.
- Prescription medications such as Trazodone, Valium, Zoloft and more.
- Calming supplements such as CBD, homeopathic medicines and aromatherapy.
- Physical comforters such as anxiety vests or calming caps.
- Make sure your pet is microchipped in case they bolt and escape during the noise.
People with dementia and Alzheimers
According to the Alzheimers Foundation of America (AFA), firework noise can create challenges for families affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia-related illnesses.
The AFA says fireworks can be distressing for someone with dementia, especially if they are a veteran. Even when the person is inside, the noise from firework explosions can cause anxiety or agitation. Large crowds can also be overwhelming for people with dementia.
To prepare for Independence Day, the AFA has provided tips to make the holiday “dementia-friendly.”
- Consider keeping the person indoors at times when fireworks will go off.
- Adapt the fireworks tradition by watching a filmed display on TV.
- Explain to your loved one in advance that there may be loud noises and continue telling them this at different intervals.
- Put on soothing background sounds such as a white noise machine or an air conditioner.
- Have comfort items on hand like a blanket or an article of clothing.
- Occasionally check in with your loved one during the night if they live with you. If they live alone, stay overnight with them or ask a trusted friend, relative or caregiver to do so.
- Keep gatherings small and give guests name tags to help the person with dementia recall who is who.
- Host celebrations during daylight to prevent confusion as the sun sets.
- Keep the person’s routines as normal as possible, including mealtimes, naptimes and bedtimes while incorporating favorite activities throughout the day.
- Get your loved one in the Independence Day spirit with activities like creating decorations, playing patriotic music, baking holiday-themed desserts, or making a photo album with Fourth of July memories.
- Families with questions or concerns can talk to a licensed social worker by calling AFA’s Helpline at (866) 232-8484 or visiting the AFA’s website. The helpline is open seven days a week.
Veterans
According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), a major part of helping veterans during Independence Day is to plan ahead. Recognizing triggers in advance can prevent potential problems.
Some common triggers for veterans during the holiday include:
- Light sensitivity to fireworks and sparklers, especially at night;
- Strong reactions to sounds like fireworks, ceremonial guns and cannon fire;
- Anxiety in crowds;
- Flashbacks triggered by sounds or smell;
- Feeling distant from family during celebrations;
- Risky behaviors like excessive alcohol consumption.
Other helpful tips include:
- If throwing a celebration, ask guests in advance if they experience difficulties during fireworks;
- Use quieter alternatives to fireworks such as sparklers;
- Consider excluding alcohol or other intoxicating substances from Independence Day celebrations;
- Practice a few self-help tips or relaxation exercises;
- Find more resources for Veterans and their families on the Make The Connection website. | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/tips-for-helping-sensitive-ears-cope-with-fourth-of-july-firework-blasts/ | 2022-07-04 13:06:51 | 1 | https://www.binghamtonhomepage.com/news/tips-for-helping-sensitive-ears-cope-with-fourth-of-july-firework-blasts/ |

CHICO — In its final year of disbursements for Camp Fire relief, the Butte Strong Fund is dedicating $1.1 million to local organizations clearing trees and brush in the burn scar.
The five grants, announced Tuesday by the North Valley Community Foundation, focus on a priority set by the fund’s citizens committee to create defensible space in the fire’s footprint. The fund also awarded $165,000 in small grants to four community groups, bringing the total to $59 million since the 2018 wildfire. Another cycle will start next month as the fund, managed by the community foundation, allocates its final $5 million.
“We really wanted to be strategic about it and really make some larger-impact grants in certain areas that align with our priorities — one of those being housing,” Jovanni Tricerri, NVCF’s vice president of programs, told this newspaper. “This is to augment some of the programs that are already there. We already have the county and the town (of Paradise) trying to clear those trees, but realize trees have an impact on housing affordability.”
Those impacts include the expense of insurance and keeping vegetation away from structures. Tricerri said the funding addresses the issue “on a wide scale, making sure our community is resilient.”
Beneficiaries
For these grants, the Butte Strong Fund selected the Fuel Reduction Assistance Program operated by Paradise Alliance Church ($245,286), the Yankee Hill Fire Safe Council ($250,000), From the Ground Up Farms ($186,000), the Butte County Fire Safe Council ($249,583) and All Hands and Hearts ($200,000). From the Ground Up Farms clears properties in Concow; All Hands and Hearts organizes volunteers nationwide to create defensible space.
“The reason we chose (fire-prevention projects) now is we have all this rain, and we know in the spring that vegetation is going to explode,” Tricerri said. “We’ve got to get ahead of it, this year in particular.”
In addition to fuels management, the Butte Strong Fund also awarded grants to the Paradise Ridge Chamber of Commerce ($50,000 to attract residents and businesses), the Butte-Glenn Community College District ($50,000 to address wildfire trauma), Tiny Pine Foundation ($45,589 to retrofit tiny homes) and Mindful Littles ($15,000 to provide farm experiences to nine schools).
The next round will emphasize housing — notably, acquisition of properties to foster multi-family units and “self help” groups such as Habitat for Humanity and Community Housing Improvement Program — and hubs for health and wellness. The latter, Tricerri explained, encompass “collaboratives that provide resources to Camp Fire survivors, everything from basic needs like food and clothing to home goods to make sure they can furnish their homes.
“We’re excited to keep on going,” he added. “For this year, as we’re ending, we want to be really mindful of the type of projects that have long-term impact and are able to demonstrate that they have some long-term sustainability.”
The Butte Strong Fund unites NVCF, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. and the Aaron Rodgers NorCal Fire Recovery Fund.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- RealWork Labs, a revolution in Field Software, has announced the launch of the world's first Neighborhood Brand Platform (NBP), Crux, designed to empower Home Service Businesses to establish a stronger brand identity at the local level. The platform combines job descriptions, multimedia, customer reviews, and location data, providing HSBs with the necessary tools to build trust, establish a neighborhood brand voice, and increase revenue opportunities in their local communities.
Current marketing solutions like online ads, SEO agencies, and lead generation platforms struggle to effectively replicate the power of word-of-mouth referrals between neighbors, which are highly relevant and trusted in the HSB industry. However, by leveraging content and consumer feedback derived from their quality work in customers' neighborhoods, HSBs can bring their local brands online and create an authentic online presence that resonates with potential customers and drives engagement.
Crux emphasizes that great work should be the driving factor for success rather than the amount spent on marketing campaigns. The platform enables HSBs to showcase their work to their neighbors who value quality and rely on word-of-mouth referrals, establishing a unique and powerful solution for embracing the future of digital marketing.
"Homeowners always prefer a referral to a contractor, and 90% of contractors' businesses are powered by referrals. This is a fact the internet of today and websites have brushed off for far too long- people want a real contractor they can trust based on the work they've done nearby, not where their office is located. Neighborhood Branding just makes common sense to us. Neighbors want to trust what they are seeing is real and nearby, and contractors want to let their quality work and customers do their selling for them, and until now, that's just never happened online. When you connect the dots like a Google review, photos of the job you did, and where it happened, you drive more meaning. It's exactly why we named the platform after the constellation Crux, constellations are immensely meaningful, but really just a bunch of points tied together." - Pierce Birkhold CEO/ co-founder.
The process begins with jobs posted to an interactive map widget on HSBs' websites, which combines multimedia and customer reviews. This widget provides potential customers with an easy way to see visible proof of work done in their neighborhood, building the trust and relevance necessary for converting homeowners into actual customers.
"We're excited about the value this release brings to our current and future customers. With a redesigned mobile app and customer dashboard, we've streamlined the approach to capture and manage project work, request reviews, post to Google and track the return on investment in ways not previously seen for HSB's." - Rusty Fincke CEO/ co-founder.
Crux is committed to continued evolution and growth, adding more customer value as it does. This year, Crux will roll out in stages. The Crux Mobile and Desktop app will launch first, followed by integrating Crux platform features with other systems businesses use. This integration will lead to 80%-100% of the system becoming automated, saving businesses time and effort. Later this year, Crux will introduce new automated features for requesting reviews and video testimonials.
Crux is a force amplifier for a business's web presence, setting it apart from the competition in its neighborhood. Join the revolution and experience the benefits of the world's first Neighborhood Brand Platform - Crux.

BISMARCK, N.D., Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As the air begins to cool and acres of colorful leaves start to blanket the valleys of the badlands, rivers and lakes, autumn is a magical time to visit North Dakota. In addition to the picturesque palette of colors created by the state's unique fall foliage, North Dakota Tourism invites visitors to explore its scenic landscapes and partake in breathtaking outdoor adventures and enchanting fall festivals.
North Dakota's wildlife refuges and wooded areas turn into a sea of red, yellow and orange making the state a perfect, under the radar destination to leaf peep. North Dakota Tourism publishes a Fall Foliage Guide with incredible locations to see the leaves change beginning in mid-September through mid-October.
While North Dakota is home to some astonishing forests, the intensity of the fall colors tends to shine through in the northern part of the state. Set on the North Dakota/Canadian border, the Pembina Gorge encompasses one of the largest uninterrupted woodlands in the state. With over 2,800 acres and more than 30 miles of trails, the Pembina Gorge is an ideal place to admire the changing of the leaves.
About 130 miles east of the Pembina Gorge, Lake Metigoshe State Park boasts some of the state's most vibrant autumn hues. Nestled in the Turtle Mountains this area is filled with rolling hills and aspen trees for almost 1,500 acres.
With thousands of miles of trails to explore the breathtaking scenery, fall is a prime time to grab some hiking boots or a bike and get outside and explore. North Dakota Tourism has a compiled list of 13 Fantastic Trails that range in levels of difficulty.
Hikers can stroll the paved Cannonball Trail in Mott or choose something a little more challenging like the Pipestem Creek Trail in Jamestown. Bikers can also slowly pedal along several recreational routes or turn it up a notch and climb some of the steep grades in the Badlands on the Maah Daah Hey Trail. With 144 miles of rugged single-track trail that follows alongside all three units of Theodore Roosevelt National Park, this nationally recognized trail is worthy of its own stop for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike.
Theodore Roosevelt National Park is also home to the annual Dakota Nights Astronomy Festival that takes place every September. Astronomy experts to stargazing amateurs flock to this three-day festival featuring education, storytelling from NASA missions and viewing of the spectacular night skies. This year's event, taking place September 16 -18, 2022, has a full schedule of activities that can be found online.
Several cities in North Dakota embrace the changing season and host lively fall festivals and events to celebrate.
Norsk Høstfest, the largest four-day celebration of Scandinavian culture in the United States, takes place at the North Dakota State Fairgrounds in Minot. With world-class entertainment, Scandinavian cuisine, handcrafted Norsk merchandise, Miss Norsk Høstfest competition, live music, and of course Vikings, this event has activities for visitors of all ages. A full schedule for the 2022 event, beginning September 28 and ending October 1, can be found online.
If you can't make it to Norsk Høstfest, North Dakota has several other events to celebrate all season. This year Papa's Pumpkin Patch in Bismarck welcomes guests for its fall season through October 22.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Laws banning most abortions at the point of the “first detectable heartbeat” are beginning to take effect across the country, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision Friday to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized the procedure in 1973.
Such laws, often referred to as “fetal heartbeat bills,” ban abortions once cardiac activity is detected, which can happen around six weeks into pregnancy, although a timeframe typically isn’t specified in the measures.
Swift court actions in states including Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee revived laws stalled under Roe in the decision’s wake. That has left some people who were planning abortions — and the clinics lined up to provide them — scrambling.
Here’s a look at what has happened following the ruling, where that leaves residents of affected states, and what may come next:
WHERE ARE THE LAWS IN EFFECT?
Stalled laws were reimposed in Ohio, South Carolina and Tennessee within days of the Supreme Court ruling. In September, Texas became the first state to successfully impose such a law, with the dozen or so other states seeing theirs placed on hold under Roe. Similar laws are the subject of court action in at least four other states.
Ohio was able to reimpose its “fetal heartbeat” law, which had twice been vetoed because of constitutional considerations under Roe, within hours of that case’s reversal. At the request of Republican Attorney General Dave Yost, a federal judge lifted the stay that had prevented enforcement since the law was signed in 2019. The American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood sued in the Ohio Supreme Court on behalf of a group of abortion providers Wednesday, arguing the law also violates the state constitution.
South Carolina’s “heartbeat” law went into effect Monday, after an injunction blocking the law was removed. Tennessee’s took effect Wednesday. In Georgia, where a federal judge declared the “heartbeat restriction” unconstitutional in 2020, a federal appeals court Friday has given parties three weeks to file briefs addressing the effect the Supreme Court ruling on the state’s appeal of the lower court ruling.
Q: IS ABORTION STILL LEGAL IN THESE STATES?
A: Yes, but only until cardiac activity is detected. That can happen around six weeks of gestational age, which is before many women even know they are pregnant.
Further, abortion rights groups, clinics and some faith groups are making available resources to people who still want abortions, including financial help and transportation to other states.
Meanwhile, abortion opponents, including Ohio’s governor, are ramping up resources for families, in hopes that the new restrictions prompt more people to carry their pregnancies to term. Republican legislative leaders in Ohio and South Carolina have raised the possibility of further tightening their states’ abortion restrictions to full bans later this year.
Tennessee’s other abortion ban, known as the so-called trigger ban, is set to restrict abortion in that state almost entirely in less than a month.
WHAT DO THE LAWS PROHIBIT, EXACTLY?
The laws generally prohibit abortions of “an unborn human individual whose fetal heartbeat has been detected.” That terminology — used widely in anti-abortion legislation across the country — does not easily translate to medical science.
That’s because at the point where advanced technology can detect that first visual flutter, as early as six weeks into pregnancy, the embryo isn’t yet a fetus, and it doesn’t have a heart. An embryo is termed a fetus eight weeks after fertilization, according to medical experts.
Abortion rights advocates, civil rights attorneys and some abortion foes favor calling the laws “six-week abortion bans.” That, too, is misleading. Most “heartbeat” laws make no mention of a particular gestational age after which abortion is illegal.
What they ban are most abortions after the point when a state-sanctioned detection method administered in good faith by a medical professional can detect cardiac activity.
If no cardiac activity is found, an abortion can go forward. Under Ohio’s law, women must wait 24 hours, then get a second ultrasound to again assure no flutter is present before the procedure can move forward.
ARE THERE ANY EXCEPTIONS?
Yes, but it depends on the state. The Ohio and Tennessee laws make exceptions for the life of the mother or for risk of “substantial and irreversible impairment of a major bodily function.” This could include preeclampsia, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, premature rupture of membranes or inevitable miscarriage. Neither makes exceptions for incest or rape, including rape of a child. Both laws also specify that a woman’s mental health does not qualify for an exemption.
South Carolina’s law requires an attempt to detect a “fetal heartbeat” once a doctor thinks a pregnant woman is at least eight weeks along. The state allows exceptions for when the woman’s life is in danger, or if the pregnancy is the result of rape or incest.
Georgia’s law makes exceptions in the case of rape and incest, if the woman files a police report first. It also allows for abortions when the life of the mother is at risk or when a pregnancy is deemed “medically futile,” generally due to a serious medical condition in the fetus.
WHAT ARE THE PENALTIES FOR VIOLATORS?
A person who performs an abortion in violation of the ban in Ohio could be charged with a fifth-degree felony, which carries a penalty of probation or six to 12 months in prison and a fine of up to $2,500.
Under the law, a doctor invoking one of the law’s exceptions also must specify in writing the medical condition invoked, place a record of that decision in the patient’s file and maintain it for seven years. Failing to keep proper paperwork is subject to a penalty of up to $20,000 for each instance.
Under Tennessee’s law, performing an abortion when cardiac activity is present is a felony, subjecting doctors to up to 15 years in prison. A doctor guilty of violating South Carolina’s abortion law faces a felony conviction carrying a penalty of $20,000 and up to two years in prison, or both.
Pregnant people are not held liable under any of the laws, and they are given the option to bring civil action for wrongful death if their pregnancy is terminated without an attempt to detect a “fetal heartbeat.” | https://phl17.com/health/ap-health/explainer-abortion-landscape-under-state-heartbeat-laws/ | 2022-06-30 20:16:35 | 1 | https://phl17.com/health/ap-health/explainer-abortion-landscape-under-state-heartbeat-laws/ |

LAGUNA BEACH, Calif., Aug. 9, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- CNC Broach Tool™ LLC has created a Broach G-Code Generator which can reduce your programming time from hours down to minutes. Programming a broaching cycle for your CNC Lathe or Mill is now as easy as entering 7-10 inputs and pressing a button. The web application will export up to 2000 lines of g-code program which the user can then copy and paste into their CNC program.
Programming a broach tool to cut in a CNC machine can be time consuming. This is because linear broaching in a CNC requires multiple passes which take small amounts of material, usually between .0006" - .0020", per pass. A keyway which has a radial depth of .400" and a depth of cut of .001" per pass, for example, would require 400 passes. When creating a long hand Lathe or Mill program, each pass requires a minimum of 4 lines of G-code. The general layout for each complete pass is as follows:
- Position/Reposition on X,Y, Z
- Feed in on Z axis
- Retract out on X axis
- Retract out on Z axis
The example above which has 400 passes would require 1600 lines of g-code. Sometimes the length of the program can be condensed by using a sub-program with incremental moves and multiple calls. This generally works unless you have limited clearance behind the tool. For example: Let's say you have a Ø.750 bore and are using our T6MML tool which fits a Ø.745 min bore. An incremental program with a .150" retract for every pass, will crash after the first pass when it retracts out of the cut on X. In this case, you will need to write a long hand program and set your retract point for each pass to an absolute position of Ø.745 instead of using an incremental position.
To use The CNC Broach Tool Program Generator:
- Choose your machine type: Lathe or Mill.
- Select the type of program you want to export: Long format or Sub Program
- Select which tool you'd like to use
- Enter the Bore Diameter, Keyway Width, Radial Depth, Z axis start & end points, Depth of Cut, & IPM
- For milling machines enter the feed axis and feed direction
- Accept the Terms & Conditions
- Copy the code (Ctrl C) and paste (Ctrl P) it into your program

California man arrested in the killings of 3 women in Tijuana
LOS ANGELES (AP) - U.S. authorities have arrested a California man accused of killing three women in the Mexican border city of Tijuana and crossing back and forth across the border after each of the deaths that occurred over the course of nearly a year starting in 2021.
According to U.S. court records, 30-year-old Bryant Rivera, a resident of Los Angeles suburb Downey, was arrested July 6 on a femicide charge in the strangulation death of Angela Carolina Acosta Flores, whose body was found in a hotel room in Tijuana on Jan. 25, 2022.
Mexico plans to request his extradition in order to present evidence to add charges for the deaths of two more women in Tijuana, according to court filings. Ricardo Ivan Carpio, the attorney general of the state of Baja California, said they will include new evidence found when Rivera was arrested in California. It was not immediately known if Rivera had retained an attorney.
Rivera appeared in federal court Monday, where U.S. Magistrate Judge Karen L. Stevenson ordered him to remain detained at the federal Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles for the duration of his extradition proceedings, according to Ciaran McEvoy, spokesperson for the U.S. attorney’s office. Mexico has 60 days to file a formal extradition request.

Acosta’s mother told Mexican authorities that her daughter worked next door to the Tijuana hotel, where her body was found, at a strip bar called the Hong Kong Gentlemen’s Club, and occasionally as a sex worker. The mother told authorities she last heard from her daughter on Jan. 24, 2022, when she texted her that she would be taking one of her clients into room 404 at the Las Cascadas Hotel for 30 minutes at around 10:15 p.m., according to court records. At 10:45 p.m., her mother said she started texting her daughter but never heard from her.
Court records show Acosta’s boyfriend went to the club at 3 a.m. and was told by a worker there that Acosta had left with a customer who was a "gringo" named Bryant Rivera. After her daughter’s body was found in room 404, Acosta’s mother tracked her daughter’s cell phone to an address in Riverside, California.
Security camera footage from the hotel captured a man matching Rivera’s description and the victim entering room 404, according to court records.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection records show Rivera entered the United States on foot through the San Ysidro port of entry shortly after midnight on Jan. 25, 2022. | https://www.fox5ny.com/news/california-man-arrested-in-the-killings-of-3-women-in-tijuana | 2023-07-13 11:46:08 | 1 | https://www.fox5ny.com/news/california-man-arrested-in-the-killings-of-3-women-in-tijuana |
Georgia detention officer arrested after allegedly beating inmate
Reynard Trotman was fired and arrested on multiple charges
A Georgia detention officer was fired and arrested on multiple charges after allegedly assaulting an inmate, according to officials.
Reynard Trotman faces several charges, including seven counts of violation of oath by a public officer, two counts of aggravated assault, two counts of battery, reckless conduct, cruelty to an inmate and conspiracy to commit a felony.
The Fulton County Sheriff's Office announced that Trotman was arrested on Thursday. In the press release he is accused of "aiding and abetting during the commission of a crime, and of failing to render aid or protecting an inmate from physical harm."
Sheriff Patrick Labat told WXIA that an investigation was launched after a detainee at the Fulton County jail was spotted with lacerations and puncture wounds. The inmate survived the injuries, but their condition led officials to check surveillance footage.
Multiple other detainees who attacked the inmate will also be charged, Labat said.
"The acts of this detention officer do not reflect the mission of the Fulton CountySheriff’s Office," Labat said in a statement. "Any officer who violates their sworn oath not only brings discredit upon themselves but also exacerbates the critical staffing challenges that law enforcement agencies around the country are working to overcome. As Sheriff of Fulton County, I am committed to transparency and to holding each and every employee accountable to protect and serve every member of our community, including those in our custody."

The charges against Trotman led to his termination. He had worked for the sheriff's office since July.
"Being a detention officer is an incredibly difficult job, but there is no excuse for the behavior that led to this arrest," the sheriff's statement continued. "The actions of this one individual are certainly not a reflection of the men and women of the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office who show up to work each and every day and conduct their duties with professionalism, respect and integrity." | https://www.foxnews.com/us/georgia-detention-officer-arrested-after-allegedly-beating-inmate | 2023-02-11 07:33:07 | 0 | https://www.foxnews.com/us/georgia-detention-officer-arrested-after-allegedly-beating-inmate |

CASPER, Wyo. (AP) — Facial hair enthusiasts claimed to have set a new world record for longest beard chain during an event in Wyoming on Friday, the Casper Star-Tribune reports.
Participants gathered at Gaslight Social, a bar in Casper, where they stood side by side and clipped their beards together to create a hairy chain that was measured at 150 feet long, according to the newspaper. That’s more than double the Guinness World Record of 62 feet, 6 inches, set in Germany in 2007.
To participate, people needed to sport a beard at least 8 inches long, according to the Star-Tribune.
The event occurred on the sidelines of the National Beard and Moustache Championships, which took place Saturday at the city’s Ford Wyoming Center. | https://www.wane.com/news/weird/ap-claim-of-new-world-record-for-longest-beard-chain-in-wyoming/ | 2022-11-13 15:20:39 | 1 | https://www.wane.com/news/weird/ap-claim-of-new-world-record-for-longest-beard-chain-in-wyoming/ |
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — So close.
The Princeton men’s basketball team’s comeback from a 20-point halftime deficit came up short when Matt Allocco missed a contested long 3-pointer at the buzzer as Navy held on for a 74-73 victory in the nightcap of the ninth annual Veterans Classic here at Alumni Hall.
Allocco scored 19 points, including two late 3s to keep the Tigers (0-2) alive, and after the Midshipmen (2-0) missed a pair of free throws with 3.6 seconds remaining, he raced down the court and hoisted up a 3 as he felt contact from the defender.
But the whistles didn’t blow and Navy celebrated a victory on hits home court.
Sean Yoder scored 20 points and Tyler Nelson added 17 for the Midshipen.
Keeshawn Kellman continued his strong start to the season with a team-high 20 points and Tosan Evbuomwan scored 15 for Princeton.
Allocco and Kellman willed the Tigers back into the game after they got behind by 20 during a woeful first half in which they allowed Navy to shoot 72.5% from the floor. Allocco had 14 of his 19 points in the second half and Kellman put in 13 after intermission.
Princeton got as close as one on two occasions – 68-67 after Ryan Langborg hit a 3 and then again at 74-73 after Allocco drained a trey – but it never got over the hump.
Perfect 10
Kellman scored the game’s first two points on a dunk to give him 10 straight made field goals to start the season.
The senior was 9-for-9 in the opener against Hofstra, which made him just one of two players in program history to make that many field goals in a game without a miss. Barnes Hauptfurer was 11-for-11 on Dec. 7, 1974 against Notre Dame.
Kellman misfired for the first time on his next shot.
Court Concerns
No. 3 Houston looked every bit the part in an 81-55 romp over Saint Joseph’s, but the bigger issue was the court.
The unseasonably warm November temperatures combined with the rainy weather created a slick playing surface. At one point near the end of the first game, officials huddled with both coaches and seemed to discuss stopping the game early.
They ended up finishing the final three and half minutes without incident.
Paying Homage
The Tigers took a tour of the Naval Academy and met with former Navy football captain and Navy Seal Clint Bruce on Thursday.
“Thank you to all of our Veterans,” coach Mitch Henderson tweeted out ahead of Friday’s game against the Midshipmen. “It is such an honor for us to participate in the Veterans Classic, to compete against Navy, and to be the guests of the United States Naval Academy!”
Grateful For The Opportunity.
Tremendously thankful to have had the opportunity to tour the Naval Academy today, it was truly an honor to spend time at this special place filled with such incredible leaders. pic.twitter.com/xRtIukzBGS
