- Tech apparel brand transforms the basic T-shirt with CoolLife cooling technology
- Proprietary body temperature regulating fabric provides continuous cooling
- Science merges with design for the ultimate, everyday essential
SUNNYVALE, Calif., April 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LifeLabs, the first textile innovator making meaningful progress in combating the effects of climate change through thermally-efficient textiles, announces the launch of the world's most cooling T-shirt in a range of styles and colors to offer maximum versatility and comfort for everyday wear. LifeLabs' innovative take on the spring / summer wardrobe staple brings science and design together allowing individuals to stay cool without sacrificing style. The classic T-shirt is elevated through CoolLife, the world's first thermally-transparent, Polyethylene fabric that cools your body temperature by nearly 3°F and allows an individual's body heat to escape rapidly, creating a more effective and efficient cooling effect throughout the day unlike any other apparel on the market.
LifeLabs' Everyday Cooling T-shirt incorporates recycled materials and stands apart from other cooling garments since CoolLife tech is the only material that delivers more effective cooling with less environmental impact. The essentials are not only functional but also designed for long-term sustainability. CoolLife items are not only cool to the touch, but by wearing them, individuals experience sustained cooling throughout the day, greater than other brands, allowing them to adjust their thermostat by three degrees Fahrenheit which is estimated to save 400lbs of carbon per household per year. This can decrease global greenhouse gas emissions and water pollution over time, through reducing energy usage on a personal and global level.
"The T-shirt is a quintessential item in every wardrobe so we're taking the simplicity of the basic T-shirt and re-engineering it into something more," said Scott Mellin, CEO of LifeLabs. "As temperatures rise, we've created the only cooling T-shirt on the planet in a number of styles and colors that will provide unparalleled comfort for any occasion. Our apparel is designed with a practical sensibility and by using less materials and reduced energy usage, we're also supporting a more sustainable lifestyle."
For the first time, LifeLabs, known for its minimalist designs in a neutral palette, is introducing colors. Select men's and women's CoolLife T-shirts will be available in shades inspired by nature including altitude (celestial blue), olive (conifer green) and ice (blue glass). LifeLabs collection of cooling T-shirts using recycled materials include:
Men's CoolLife Everyday T-shirts
LifeLabs short and long-sleeved crew tops for men are designed with the fewest seams possible and direct print labels in soft, cool to the touch jersey knits for the highest level of comfort. The CoolLife Everyday men's T-shirts have an instant cool touch value (Qmax) of 0.20 which is 35% cooler than Everlane's men's organic cotton T-shirt, 68% cooler than Vuori's Strato Tech Tee and 50% cooler than Nike DriFIT long-sleeve training T-shirt. LifeLabs men's CoolLife T-shirt collection is available in white, altitude and olive, ranging in price from $49 - $59.
Women's CoolLife Everyday T-shirts
In addition to the classic, short-sleeved crew top, LifeLabs is expanding its women's collection to feature new silhouettes including a blouse that takes a modern spin on the Henley Tee that can be dressed up or down, as well as a tank top. Created with both functionality and style in mind, the neckline of the tank is cut slightly higher in front for sun protection and the shoulder straps are brought inward for a modern, slimming effect. The CoolLife Everyday women's tops have an instant cool touch value (Qmax) of 0.20, which is 66% cooler than Everlane's women's organic cotton crew T-shirt. LifeLabs women's CoolLife T-shirt collection is available in black, white, ice and olive, ranging in price from $39 - $59.
LifeLabs World's Coolest T-shirt Collection is available for purchase now on LifeLabs.Design.

Take You Back Is Available Now On iTunes
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Anthony Bless, a super talented singer and actor, has just released a powerful and conflicting music video for his new hip hop single "Take You Back." Ray Fonseca and Mo Hines are responsible for the direction of the video, which features Pulse Records recording artist Calvin Davis Jr.
The much-anticipated music video sheds light on the tensions and difficulties that are inherent in an unhealthy romantic connection. This catchy and soulful track emphasizes the powerful message of overcoming adversity by drawing attention to itself.
The powerful track is now available on iTunes and was written and produced by Anthony Bless.
"This video holds a special place in my heart. The song's storytelling and narrative serve not only for entertainment but also to tell the story of my own experiences. I'm hoping that this song will encourage and resonate with people who have gone through similar experiences "Anthony revealed. Click here to watch "Take you Back"
This talented Latin artist was born and raised in Queens, New York, from humble beginnings. After his father died after a long battle with cancer, Anthony took over as head of the household. Bless began to develop his craft and found opportunities to perform at major venues and arenas, driven by the need to provide for his family and never losing sight of his father's insistence on self-discipline, focus, and precision.
Bless went on to land major roles on the television shows EAST LOS HIGH and USA's "Shooter," as well as a major recurring role on Tyler Perry's hit series "SISTAS," and was finally cast as a series regular in Tyler Perry's next hit show, "RUTHLESS" as Agent Malcom Green.
Continuing to advance his musical career and philanthropic efforts are just a few of the things Bless is concentrating on. This singer has no plans to slow down as he prepares to release his latest album and promotes his new single.

Comments from the President and CEO
"Strong operational results and completion of Stanley Security acquisition"
We are executing on our strategy to be the leading security solutions partner to our clients with world-leading technology and expertise. We delivered all time high profitability and improved the operating margin to 5.8 percent (5.6) in the second quarter, a level which is significantly higher than the pre-pandemic years.
The good business conditions accelerated in the second quarter with organic sales growth of 6 percent (8), driven by Europe and Ibero-America. As planned, organic sales growth in North America was negative in the second quarter due to the low margin contract terminations from last year and lower extra sales. However, the underlying business in North America is developing very well and we expect organic sales growth to return to positive in the third quarter.
We had great momentum within high-margin security solutions and electronic security sales in the second quarter with 13 percent real sales growth, which represented 23 percent (22) of Group sales.
The operating result for the Group, adjusted for changes in exchange rates, increased by 8 percent in the second quarter. Our operations in North America and Ibero-America delivered strong margin improvement. Europe improved well compared to the first quarter with strong operating result improvement compared to last year, despite continued pressure from costs related to labor shortage and sickness. The inflationary environment is challenging across the Group, but we have successfully managed a positive price and wage balance. Dynamic price increase management is a key priority going forward to ensure quality delivery to our clients.
Our high focus on improving client value and profitability is generating results with higher sales of security solutions and electronic security across all segments together with positive impact from active portfolio management and our transformation programs.
CREATING THE NEW SECURITAS
The transformation program in North America which was finalized in 2021, is delivering value in the day-to-day operations and contributes to the operating margin development. The ongoing business trans-formation programs in Europe and Ibero-America are progressing according to plan and we expect to realize strong financial and operational benefits in the years to come.
In the second quarter, we reached an important sustainability milestone as the first major company in the industry that is committing to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and we are now beginning the process of developing and validating targets to reduce the Group's climate impact.
On July 22 we closed the acquisition of Stanley Security. We are very pleased that the acquisition is formally completed, and I want to welcome all of Stanley Security's clients and employees into Securitas. Our joint integration preparation work has been solid and we now look forward to accelerating our journey together and immediately executing on our value creation plan.
Bringing together our two great companies is an industry-defining event. Combining our talent and expertise sets us up for stronger growth thanks to an outstanding client offering and we expect significant margin enhancement opportunities going forward. Our shared values and high sustainability ambitions enable us to utilize our potential to provide tech-enabled security solutions that create long-term value for our clients, our shareholders and the society at large.
We are looking forward to update you on the strategy and announce new financial targets at the Investor update on August 24. We are welcoming all our shareholders to participate on this exciting journey in the rights issue connected to the transaction which will be launched in September.

CINCINNATI, Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Scripps Howard Foundation is providing a $3.8 million grant to fund the "Disarming Disinformation" project with the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ). The three-year project will empower journalists and journalism students to fight disinformation in the news media.
"Disarming Disinformation" will operate under ICFJ's Pamela Howard Forum for Global Crisis Reporting, which connects journalists in the U.S. and around the world with experts to strengthen their reporting. The forum honors ICFJ vice chair Pamela Howard, a Scripps Howard Foundation trustee emeritus, and her decades of leadership and contributions to journalism.
Thousands of journalists and journalism students, including those from the Howard Centers for Investigative Journalism at the University of Maryland and Arizona State University, will receive training on topics such as fact checking and verification and digital security.
The project will fund research into new tools to combat disinformation and will allow journalists worldwide to collaborate on investigations into misinformation and disinformation campaigns. The goal will be to produce and share resources, including case studies on the solutions revealed by the research and any lessons learned.
"From Russia's war on Ukraine to the global COVID-19 pandemic to assaults on democracy in the United States and elsewhere, we've seen how these lies can have fatal results," said ICFJ President Sharon Moshavi. "Every journalist in the world must become a disinformation reporter, and Disarming Disinformation will help address that urgent need."
"Journalists face an uphill battle with inaccurate and false information spreading at an alarming rate," said Liz Carter, president and CEO of the Scripps Howard Fund and Scripps Howard Foundation. "This approach will not only help journalists detect misinformation and disinformation but will also expose them to practical solutions to combat this issue, which is undermining trust in journalism across the globe."
The initiative will begin with a series of training webinars followed by in-person workshops. The grant from the Scripps Howard Foundation will help fund the project until 2025.
Founded by members of the Scripps and Howard families, the Scripps Howard Foundation was recently joined by the Scripps Howard Fund as the philanthropic organizations of The E.W. Scripps Company.
About the Scripps Howard Fund The Scripps Howard Fund is a public charity that supports philanthropic causes important to The E.W. Scripps Company (NASDAQ: SSP) and the communities it serves, with a special emphasis on journalism education, excellence in journalism and childhood literacy. At the crossroads of the classroom and the newsroom, the Fund is a leader in supporting journalism through scholarships, internships, minority recruitment and development and First Amendment causes. The Scripps Howard Awards stand as one of the industry's top honors for outstanding journalism, and the Fund's annual "If You Give a Child a Book …" childhood literacy campaign has distributed thousands of new books to children in need across the nation. In support of its mission to create a better-informed world, the Fund also partners with Scripps brands to create awareness of local issues and support organizations that help build thriving communities. The Scripps Howard Foundation, an affiliated organization with the Scripps Howard Fund, supports Scripps' charitable efforts through its endowment, key assets and major donations.

TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Thyroid cancer surgeons at the Clayman Thyroid Center and Tampa's new Hospital for Endocrine Surgery celebrated Thyroid Cancer Awareness Month by joining Tampa Bay Business & Wealth (TBBW) magazine to screen women executives for thyroid cancer using state of the art ultrasonography.
Thyroid cancer is the 4th most common cancer in women. Thyroid cancer is the most quickly increasing cancer diagnosis in the United States and it affects women nearly three times as often as men. Despite this, screening for thyroid cancer is not performed anywhere in the world. Breast cancer screening, through mammography, has been routine for decades but, unfortunately, screening for thyroid cancer in the general population does not occur. The dramatic findings in these women aged 30 to 65 suggest that thyroid cancer screening, in select populations, should be done.
The Hospital for Endocrine Surgery's thyroid surgeons teamed up with TBBW magazine for its annual Women's Wellness Retreat, hosted in August at the Salamander Spa at Innisbrook Resort. The event brought together female executives from the Tampa Bay area for a day of networking, relaxing and, most importantly, self-care. The world-renowned ultrasound team from the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery performed free screening on over 70% of the women in attendance. Abnormal findings appeared in 49% of the ultrasounds.
Senior thyroid surgeon Dr. Rashmi Roy led the program and personally reviewed each woman's scans, connecting with those who had significant or abnormal findings to discuss the specifics of their case and suggest next steps.
"These women had no previous history of thyroid masses, nodules, goiters or cancer," stated Dr Roy. "So, this was a true screening program. We found 21 of the 43 women to have abnormal growths or cysts in their thyroid gland, 13 with scans suggested a more detailed workup and, possibly, biopsy was required and another 5 who were very likely to need surgery—possibly having thyroid cancer."
In fact, one of those identified with an abnormal finding was the event's organizer and CEO of TBBW, Bridgette Bello.
"The goal of this event was to really encourage these busy, successful women to take a time out for themselves and to prioritize their own health," said Bello. "So, I was thrilled to have the expert surgeons from the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery on board for their screening program. I didn't expect to have so many women with suspicious findings and I certainly didn't expect myself to be one of them."
The fact is, not only does thyroid cancer disproportionally affect women, but it is also most prevalent in women aged 30 to 50. Thus, while the results of the screening program may appear shocking, at face value, they are fairly typical for a group of women in this age range.
What's next for those who will need additional workups, biopsies and surgery? Dr Nate Walsh, another one of the hospital's surgeons specializing in thyroid cancer, states that an expert evaluation at the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery starts with a high-resolution ultrasound that looks at the thyroid gland and all the lymph nodes with a detection capability as small as 1 millimeter. "If anything look suspicious, an ultrasound guided needle biopsy is immediately performed," Dr Walsh explained. Endocrine pathologists are onsite and will immediately interpret the findings and determine if cancer is present. This process can take several weeks at most centers, but is provided at the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery in about 20 minutes. If surgery is required, it can be scheduled out or performed the same day as the biopsy. This is particularly beneficial for traveling patients who need to streamline and expedite the process.
The screening program was a huge success according to Dr. Gary Clayman, founder and medical director of the Clayman Thyroid Center at the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery. The team plans to perform more free thyroid cancer screenings in Tampa Bay in the near future and will offer this program again at future TBBW events.
"The good news is that we can identify cancers very early with this type of screening program which makes them nearly 100% curable," stated Dr Gary Clayman, director of thyroid surgery at the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery. "When we find thyroid cancer earlier, it allows the robotic scarless approach possible in certain patients. This approach, which leaves no neck scar, whatsoever, is performed here at the Hospital for Endocrine Surgery more than any hospital in the US."
Robotic thyroid surgery is an innovative, new approach which involves using minimally invasive techniques to treat thyroid tumors and small thyroid cancers. The results are a smaller surgery with less pain, an easier recovery and, of course, no visible scar in the neck.
The Hospital for Endocrine Surgery houses Dr. Hyun Suh and the Scarless Thyroid Surgery Center. Dr. Suh is one of the world's leading experts in scarless thyroid surgery, including robotic thyroid surgery, and he performs more robotic thyroid operations than any other surgeon in the US.
"My patients love that they can get right back to work and no one will ask them what happened," said Dr. Suh. "There's no visible scar, so there's nothing to explain. Plus, because the surgery is minimally invasive, it lets them return to work quicker and get back into their daily activities with very little downtime."
Founded by one of the nation's best-known thyroid surgeons, the Clayman Thyroid Center is the highest volume thyroid cancer referral center in the United States. The Center boasts the most experienced thyroid surgeons in the US who provide personalized care allowing the greatest opportunity for cancer cure, wellness and cosmetic, and functional, outcomes via all types of thyroid surgery from minimal incision to scarless thyroid surgery to advanced cancer care.

The Scarless Thyroid Surgery Center is a worldwide destination for the most advanced robotic surgical techniques that allow removal of nearly all thyroid masses and smaller cancers without a scar. With chief surgeon, Dr. Hyun Suh, previously Chief of Endocrine Surgery at Mt Sinai, NYC, the center performs more robotic thyroid surgery operations than any other hospital in the United States.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 17, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Members of Teamsters Joint Council 56 and Teamsters across Kansas are disappointed in Gov. Laura Kelly (D) for signing into law Senate Bill 313, legislation that expands the ability of autonomous vehicles to recklessly operate in the state.
Teamsters have worked for months opposing the measure, calling out the bill's dangerous language that would put future autonomous vehicles on the road without human safety operators present. By signing it into law, Gov. Kelly has allowed Kansas to set a bad precedent that other states could follow.
"This bill was rushed through the legislature over objections from Republicans and Democrats alike," said Daniel Avelyn, Teamsters International Vice President for the Central Region and President of Joint Council 56. "The Teamsters will continue fighting back nationwide against the implementation of any new technology that abandons public safety and destroys good-paying, quality jobs."
Kansas Teamsters built bipartisan opposition to the bill capable of sustaining a gubernatorial veto. The union stressed the need for human safety operators, evidence-based liability dollar amounts, and transparency from autonomous vehicle companies regarding safety and crash data. The Teamsters are urging its bipartisan coalition of Kansas legislators to remain united for public health and good governance in the wake of Gov. Kelly's irresponsible decision.
"We understand that autonomous vehicle technology is progressing, but we are facing a crossroads as a nation," Avelyn said. "This technology can either be implemented responsibly to complement and supplement the work that our members do every day, or it can be done recklessly, risking the lives of our friends and neighbors, and upending the workforce as we know it."

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 12, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "I wanted to create a way to protect a parked vehicle from serious harm in a flood," said an inventor, from Dittmer, Mo., "so I invented the AUTO FLOOD DEFENSE SYSTEM. My design would prevent the vehicle interior from becoming saturated and it could enhance safety if a vehicle accidentally enters floodwaters."
The invention provides an effective way to protect a vehicle during a flood. In doing so, it prevents rising floodwaters from infiltrating and damaging the vehicle. It also could help to prevent vehicle occupants from drowning. As a result, it provides added peace of mind. The invention features an automatic design that is easy to use so it is ideal for vehicle owners and vehicle dealerships. Additionally, it is producible in design variations.
The original design was submitted to the Kansas City sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

Stokes ready to shoulder burden of England captaincy
By STEVE DOUGLAS
AP Sports Writer
Selecting allrounders to captain England’s test cricket team hasn’t always worked so well in the past but Ben Stokes is sure he can make it work. Stokes accepted the biggest job in English cricket last week and it sparked concerns that the captaincy will weigh heavy on a player of whom so much is asked already. Two of England’s greatest allrounders in Ian Botham and Andrew Flintoff struggled after taking on the role down the years. Stokes is the first allrounder to become captain since Flintoff and has dismissed the relevance of any comparisons. | https://localnews8.com/sports/ap-national-sports/2022/05/03/stokes-ready-to-shoulder-burden-of-england-captaincy/ | 2022-05-03T13:13:31Z |

BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union’s commissioner for health is urging the bloc’s governments to step up their efforts to tackle the expanding monkeypox outbreak in the region, which she says is “the epicenter of detected cases.”
In a letter to the EU’s 27 health ministers obtained by The Associated Press, EU Health Commissioner Stella Kyriakides called Wednesday for a “reinforced, concerted and coordinated action.”
“There is no time for complacency and we need to continue working together to control the outbreak,” she wrote.
Last week, the World Health Organization declared the monkeypox outbreak a global emergency. It is WHO’s highest level of alert but the designation does not necessarily mean a disease is particularly transmissible or lethal. Similar declarations were made for the Zika virus in 2016 in Latin America and the ongoing effort to eradicate polio, in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic and the 2014 Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
Kyriakides said the bloc’s priorities at this stage must include stepping up the identification and reporting of cases and preventing the spread of infection.
The European Commission, the bloc’s executive arm, has secured the purchase of 160,000 doses of vaccines for the disease and Kyriakides said two joint procurement procedures are in preparation for the purchase of further jabs and the antiviral drug Tecovirimat.
Although monkeypox has been established in parts of central and west Africa for decades, it was not known to spark large outbreaks beyond the continent or to spread widely among people until May, when authorities detected dozens of outbreaks in Europe, North America and elsewhere.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 16,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported in 74 countries since about May. To date, monkeypox deaths have only been reported in Africa, where a more dangerous version of the virus is spreading, mainly in Nigeria and Congo.
WHO’s top monkeypox expert, Dr. Rosamund Lewis, said that 99% of all the monkeypox cases beyond Africa were in men and that of those, 98% involved men who have sex with men.
While Kyriakides encouraged EU ministers to intensify their public risk communication with the risk groups, she said the particular group of men that have sex with men “should not be targeted, victimized or marginalized because of the outbreak.” | https://cw33.com/health/ap-health/eu-health-commissioner-urges-reinforced-monkeypox-action/ | 2022-07-28T08:04:27Z |
The US Food and Drug Administration is investigating a potential link between a hepatitis A outbreak and fresh organic strawberries.
The FDA with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Public Health Agency of Canada, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and state and local partners, said the strawberries were branded as FreshKampo and HEB and purchased between March 5 and April 25.
They were distributed nationwide and sold at a number of retailers including Aldi, HEB, Kroger, Safeway, Sprouts Farmers Market, Trader Joe's, Walmart, Weis Markets and WinCo Foods.
The potentially affected strawberries are now past their shelf life, FDA said, but people who froze them for later use should not eat them.
"If you are unsure of what brand you purchased, when you purchased your strawberries, or where you purchased them from prior to freezing them, the strawberries should be thrown away," the FDA cautioned.
Seventeen hepatitis cases have been identified in California, Minnesota and North Dakota, which have led to 12 hospitalizations, FDA said. Traceback investigations show that cases in California, Minnesota and Canada reported having purchased the strawberries. More products may be included as the investigation is ongoing. People became ill between March 28 and April 30.
FDA also recommends that anyone who purchased and ate the strawberries in the last two weeks who hasn't been vaccinated against hepatitis A should consult with a health care professional to determine whether post exposure prophylaxis is needed. Anyone who thinks they may have symptoms after eating the strawberries should contact their health care provider.
According to the CDC, symptoms of hepatitis A usually appear two to seven weeks after infection and typically last less than two months. Not everyone has symptoms, and some people can be ill for as long as six months.
Symptoms can include yellow skin or eyes, not wanting to eat, an upset stomach, vomiting, stomach pain, fever, dark urine or light colored stools, diarrhea, joint pain and feeling tired.
Adults are more likely than children to have symptoms if they are infected.

Previously convicted murderer recorded juvenile in the shower, sheriff says
CADDO PARISH, La. (KSLA/Gray News) – A convicted murderer who served 15 years in prison has been arrested for recording video of a juvenile in the shower, according to officials.
The Caddo Parish Sheriff’s Office said Andrew Campbell, 36, was arrested Friday in Louisiana and charged with video voyeurism targeting a minor under the age of 13.
The sheriff’s office said a detective in the Youth Services Division got a complaint May 31 about a juvenile being recorded while in the shower. Video evidence revealed the Campbell was responsible, detectives said.
The sheriff’s office said Campbell previously served 15 years in prison for murder.
Campbell was booked into the Caddo Parish Correctional Center and is being held without bond.

Takata air bag claims another driver’s life, 19th US death
Published: Aug. 4, 2022 at 12:45 PM CDT|Updated: 15 minutes ago
DETROIT (AP) — The death toll from exploding air bag inflators made by Takata Corp. has risen to 19 in the U.S. and 28 worldwide.
Authorities say the driver of a 2006 Ford Ranger pickup truck was killed in what should have been a minor crash last month near Pensacola, Florida.
But the driver’s air bag inflator exploded, spewing shrapnel that hit the unidentified driver, a 23-year-old man.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says Thursday it is working to confirm details of the crash before deciding if more action is needed.

LONDON (AP) — Truck drivers and travelers seeking to cross from the U.K. into France faced major disruptions and long waiting times for a third day Sunday on the weekend that kicks off the summer holidays for many British families.
Huge lines have formed since Friday at both the Port of Dover for those taking car ferries across the English Channel and in nearby Folkestone on roads leading to the Eurotunnel that goes under the Channel to France.
Eurotunnel said drivers were still facing a wait of at least 90 minutes to check-in for the railway shuttle on Sunday.
Still, congestion at the port had eased somewhat compared to the last two days, when it took several hours to clear a miles-long backlog of traffic as tens of thousands of people went on vacation along with a large amount of cargo trucks.
Since Britain left the European Union in 2020, U.K. travelers face stricter border checks when traveling to the continent. At Dover they are performed on the English side of the channel by French staff.
British officials and politicians have blamed the chaos on staffing shortages at French border posts, an accusation denied by the French.
The Port of Dover said the checkpoints were “fully manned” on Sunday and as of Sunday morning, 72,000 passengers had been processed over the long weekend.
The port’s chief executive Doug Bannister said he was grateful to “everyone who has turned this situation around,” including both French and British authorities. He added it had been an “incredibly challenging” few days and thanked both passengers and the local community for their patience.
Angie Emrys-Jones said she and her family spent 11 hours Saturday in the queue for the Eurotunnel, joining the line at 5:30 a.m. and boarding at 4:15 p.m. She said there were “rows and rows of standstill traffic as far as we could see.”
Natalie Chapman of the trade group Logistics UK said some truck drivers had endured waits “in excess of 18 hours” on Saturday.
“You used to, prior to Brexit, just wave your passport and they may or may not be looked at. But now everyone is checked and stamped,” Chapman said.
U.K. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said she had a “good talk” on the travel backlog with her counterpart Catherine Colonna on Saturday. Colonna said there was a need to improve the border facilities at Dover. | https://cw33.com/news/international/ap-international/painful-weekend-of-border-delays-from-uk-into-france/ | 2022-07-24T19:32:23Z |
NEW YORK, June 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Global (NYSE: SPGI) is suspending financial guidance for the full year 2022. Macroeconomic conditions have deteriorated since S&P Global Inc. ("the Company") last provided financial guidance on May 3, 2022, negatively impacting the Company's expectations for GDP growth and debt issuance volumes. Given the volatility and uncertainty in the issuance environment, the Company cannot affirm its previously issued guidance and expects to reintroduce formal financial guidance in conjunction with its second quarter 2022 earnings results.
Debt issuance volumes have been extraordinarily weak year-to-date. Should similar trends continue through the end of 2022, market issuance could see year-over-year declines in the high teens. Rated, or billed, issuance could be approximately 30-35% lower than the previous year, and leveraged loan volumes could be approximately 40% lower. In such a scenario, Ratings revenue could be negatively impacted by as much as $600 million relative to previous revenue guidance and the Company would expect Ratings adjusted operating margin in the high 50s range.
At this point, the Company does not expect a change to its previously stated capital return targets.
Forward-Looking Statements: This press release contains "forward-looking statements," as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements, including statements about COVID-19 and the merger (the "Merger") between a subsidiary of the Company and IHS Markit Ltd.

- the health of debt and equity markets, including credit quality and spreads, the level of liquidity and future debt issuances, demand for investment products that track indices and assessments and trading volumes of certain exchange-traded derivatives;

- the continuously evolving regulatory environment, in Europe, the United States and elsewhere around the globe, affecting S&P Global Ratings, S&P Global Commodities Insights, S&P Dow Jones Indices, S&P Global Market Intelligence, and the products those business divisions offer including our ESG products, and the Company's compliance therewith;
- the Company's ability to make acquisitions and dispositions and successfully integrate the businesses we acquire;

Trump loses appeal, must testify in New York civil probe
NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump must answer questions under oath in New York state’s civil investigation into his business practices, a state appeals court ruled Thursday.
A four-judge panel in the appellate division of the state’s trial court upheld Manhattan Judge Arthur Engoron’s Feb. 17 ruling enforcing subpoenas for Trump and his two eldest children to give deposition testimony in Attorney General Letitia James’ probe.
Trump had appealed, seeking to overturn the ruling. His lawyers argued that ordering the Trumps to testify violated their constitutional rights because their answers could be used in a parallel criminal investigation.
“The existence of a criminal investigation does not preclude civil discovery of related facts, at which a party may exercise the privilege against self-incrimination,” the four-judge panel wrote, citing the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination.
Message seeking comment were left with lawyers for the Trumps and with James’ office. The Trumps could still appeal the ruling to the state’s highest court, the Court of Appeals.
James, a Democrat, has said her investigation has uncovered evidence Trump’s company, the Trump Organization, used “fraudulent or misleading” valuations of assets like golf courses and skyscrapers to get loans and tax benefits.
Thursday’s ruling could mean a tough decision for Trump about whether to answer questions, or stay silent, citing his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. Anything Trump says in a civil deposition could be used against him in the criminal probe being overseen by the Manhattan district attorney’s office.
At a hearing prior to Engoron’s Feb. 17 ruling, Trump’s lawyers argued that having him sit for a civil deposition is an improper attempt to get around a state law barring prosecutors from calling someone to testify before a criminal grand jury without giving them immunity.
A lawyer for the attorney general’s office told Engoron that it wasn’t unusual to have civil and criminal investigations proceeding at the same time, and Engoron rejected a request from lawyers for the Trumps to pause the civil probe until the criminal matter is over.
Last summer, spurred by evidence uncovered in James’ civil investigation, the Manhattan district attorney’s office charged the Trump Organization and its longtime finance chief, Allen Weisselberg, with tax fraud, alleging he collected more than $1.7 million in off-the-books compensation. Weisselberg and the company have pleaded not guilty.

In addition, RŌMR has initiated an ambassador program in which they're currently recruiting "Roamers'' to help promote the brand with key constituents.

Student mental health bill signed into law
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (KXII) - Schools will be better able to address the mental health needs of their students beginning this coming academic year following the signing of Senate Bill 626.
The measure, by Sen. David Bullard, R-Durant, and Rep. Randy Randleman, R-Eufaula, requires mental health facilities providing inpatient mental health care services for minors to share with parents the importance of informing their school about their students’ struggles and care received.
Bullard, a 15-year teacher, said the new law will help teachers and faculty be better prepared to meet the special needs of students in mental crisis and provide a safe and healthy environment for their success in the classroom.
“I am thrilled to get this much-needed piece of legislation across the finish line,” Bullard said. “For too long, we have thrown kids with mental struggles aside without a plan to provide them with the best educational environment possible to meet their special needs. This is a positive step in the right direction to ensure everyone, from the parents to the teachers to the student, is on the same page and has a plan to help that student in their transition back to the classroom and school.”
Prior to enrollment, SB 626 will allow a student’s parent or legal guardian to disclose if their child has received inpatient or emergency outpatient mental health services from a mental health facility in the last 24 months.
If such health information is disclosed, designated school personnel will meet with the parent and representatives from the mental health facility to decide if any accommodations are needed. These meetings can be conducted in person or via teleconference or videoconference.
All disclosures and subsequent handling of student personal health information or other related records must comply with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
“I know from firsthand experience that our public schools often struggle to help children who have mental health needs, in part because the schools may be completely unaware of any concerns,” said Randleman, a clinical psychologist with over 30 years’ experience working with students across Oklahoma. “This bill will give schools more flexibility to work with the student and their parents to meet the student’s needs, so they can remain in school. I know Senate Bill 626 will make a significant difference in students’ lives.”
The new law will go into effect July 1.

Nursing home owner whose residents suffered in Ida arrested
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The owner of seven Louisiana nursing homes whose residents suffered in squalid conditions after being evacuated to a warehouse as Hurricane Ida approached last year was arrested on Wednesday, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry announced.
Bob Glynn Dean Jr., 68, faces multiple counts of cruelty to persons with infirmities, Medicaid fraud, and obstruction of justice, the attorney general said in a news release.
In the days after Ida hit, last Aug. 29, the state reported the deaths of seven people who had been evacuated to the warehouse in the town of Independence. Five were classified as storm-related deaths. State and federal officials described miserable conditions at the warehouse, with some bedridden residents on floor mattresses crying for help and some with full diapers.
Online booking records show that Dean was in custody Wednesday afternoon in Tangipahoa Parish. His attorney did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
In the news release, Landry said Dean billed Medicaid for dates his residents were not receiving proper care at the warehouse “and engaged in conduct intended to intimidate or obstruct public health officials and law enforcement.”
Dean had already lost the state licenses for his seven facilities after moving hundreds of residents to a poorly equipped warehouse as Ida approached. In May, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced it was prohibiting Dean from receiving federal funding, including Medicare.
Ida blasted ashore last August as one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the U.S., knocking out power to all of New Orleans, blowing roofs off buildings and reversing the flow of the Mississippi River as it rushed from the Louisiana coast into a major industrial corridor.

Pet Food Express to use marketing channels to highlight dogs in need, encourage public to take action to support California's overcrowded animal shelters as a birthday gift to shelter population
OAKLAND, Calif., August 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today marks DOGust Day, the universal birthday for rescue pets who don't have a known date of birth. To celebrate and honor the thousands of California dogs in need of new forever homes, Pet Food Express is leveraging its digital marketing channels to raise public awareness on how to help and share ideas of how to celebrate the special day. Pet lovers will also meet dogs available for adoption and fostering, and get a behind-the-scenes look at a shelter in need of support. The Summer season brings the highest influx of cats and dogs at rescues and shelters statewide, but the lowest number of adoptions, fosters and volunteers.
"DOGust Day comes at a critical time; adoptions slow significantly during the summer season as people are busy and taking vacations," said Melissa Bacelar, founder of Wagmor Pets in Studio City. "What we're seeing is more dogs and less homes, including foster homes, which makes the need for adoptions dire. We hope DOGust Day will inspire the public to adopt a pet or get involved by volunteering at their local shelter or fostering."
"While rescue pets don't realize it's their birthday, we know they are grateful year-round for their pet owner's love and support. This year, Pet Food Express plans on not only celebrating pets' birthdays, but also to motivate people to save more lives through adoptions and volunteerism," said Mike Murray, Director of Community Outreach for Pet Food Express. "Our hope is for DOGust Day to become the single biggest adoption day each year!"
Ways to get involved to honor DOGust Day include:
- Throw a party for your own pup or for shelter pups
- Make a donation to a local rescue or shelter
- Adopt an animal giving them a forever home
- Call a rescue or shelter to ask how you can help
- Sign up to be a dog walker
- Become a foster parent
"Consistent with animal shelters across California, Oakland Animal Services is very full right now, especially with big dogs and kittens. As is typical in summer, we are seeing the highest intake of incoming animals and the lowest number of adoptions. If you are considering fostering or adopting, now is the time to do it!" shared Ann Dun, Oakland Animal Services Director.
Three California animal shelters held DOGust birthday parties in partnership with Pet Food Express to celebrate and bring awareness to rescued pups in need of new homes. Dogs attending the parties received gifts including the classic Kong Rubber Dog Toy, Earth Animal's Peanut Butter Dog Chews, Pawsitively Gourmet Birthday Cookies and "Happy Birthday" Tuff Balls.
All three party hosts have dogs, and cats, available for adoption. These include:
- Oakland Animal Services of Oakland - https://www.oaklandanimalservices.org/
- Family Dog Rescue of San Francisco - https://ilovefamilydog.org/
- Berkeley Animal Services of Berkeley - https://www.friendsofbacs.org/
Animal-advocates interested in taking action in honor of DOGust Day can find shelters to support and pets to adopt by following Pet Food Express' social platforms - Facebook, Instagram and Twitter - as well as by stopping in or calling any of the 64 California stores as referral sources for foster and adoption inquiries.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – Monkeypox is spreading quickly in the U.S. and health leaders are trying to contain the outbreak. The White House announced a plan this week to target the disease.
The news about the contagious outbreak may feel like Deja vu after the COVID pandemic. However, Dr. Richard Kennedy with the Mayo Clinic says there are notable distinctions.
“There are some very important differences. Monkeypox does not spread nearly as easily as COVID-19,” Kennedy said.
Monkeypox is generally spread through close or intimate contact and is rarely deadly.
What is similar is how the disease is handled – through containment, testing and vaccines. That’s what Assistant Press Secretary Kevin Munoz says the White House is doing.
“We are well prepared for this moment for the tests and the treatments that we need,” Munoz said.
The White House announced a plan to try to control monkeypox in the U.S., including working with major lab companies to increase testing and sending out tens of thousands of stockpiled vaccine doses with priority for high-risk areas.
“Our focus is on making sure communities and jurisdictions know they have those resources so we can stop the spread as quickly as possible,” Munoz said.
The CDC is now recommending the vaccine for anyone who may have had close contact with someone infected with monkeypox.
Right now health officials believe the disease is mostly circulating among men who have sex with men.
“For most people the risk of encountering this virus right now is really, really low,” Kennedy said.
While the case count is currently low, Dr. Kennedy says the White House is right to act now.
“There’s going to be a lag time as we get these procedures and processes in place. So we will see more cases, we will see it spread. But I do think at this point we can get a handle on it and we can control it,” Kennedy said.
The Biden administration feels their proactive steps put the U.S. in a good position.
“We’re not going to put our feet off the gas. We know that we want to stop the spread and we want to avoid any severe outcomes,” Munoz said. | https://cw33.com/news/washington-dc-bureau/monkeypox-how-the-white-house-plans-to-control-outbreak/ | 2022-06-30T03:15:30Z |

- Patients successfully self-managed PSVT episodes with etripamil which reduced need for ED intervention -
- As in other studies, etripamil was well tolerated by patients -
- Data to be featured during late breaking session at Heart Rhythm 2022 -
MONTREAL and CHARLOTTE, N.C., April 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Milestone Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: MIST), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative cardiovascular medicines, today announced data from NODE-302, its Phase 3 open-label extension study of etripamil nasal spray, the Company's novel, investigational, calcium channel blocker in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT). The presentation, titled "Etripamil Nasal Spray Is Effective and Safe for Conversion of Repeated Spontaneous Episodes of Paroxysmal Supraventricular Tachycardia During Long-term Follow-up: Results From the NODE-302 Study," will be featured during a late-breaking clinical trial session at the Heart Rhythm Society's Heart Rhythm 2022 meeting being held April 29-May 1, 2022 in San Francisco.
"PSVT is a highly disruptive condition that places a heavy burden on patients because of the unpredictable and sudden onset of symptoms that can require visits to the emergency department (ED) for treatment," said James Ip, M.D., Associate Professor and Director of Cardiac Pacing and Implantable Devices, Division of Cardiology, Weill Cornell Medicine, New York Presbyterian Hospital, and the study's lead author. "Results from the NODE-302 trial support the potential role of etripamil intranasal spray for patients to safely and effectively self-treat recurrent PSVT episodes without direct medical supervision and reduce their need for ED visits."
"These data, which show that 85% of the eligible patients chose to enter the NODE-302 extension study after experiencing etripamil administration in the prior study, are very encouraging as we progress in our mission of helping patients suffering from tachycardias," said Joseph Oliveto, President and Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Pharmaceuticals. "I would like to thank Dr. Ip and all the NODE-302 study investigators, study personnel, and our Milestone team members for generating these data, and the patients for putting their trust in our program."
NODE-302 was a single-arm, open-label extension study of the Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled NODE-301 study. The primary objective of the NODE-302 study was to assess the safety of patients dosing 70 mg of etripamil over multiple episodes. Patients were eligible to participate in NODE-302 if they dosed themselves for a perceived episode of PSVT in NODE-301. In NODE-302, patients self-administered 70 mg of etripamil nasal spray in response to a perceived PSVT episode after a failed attempt at a vagal maneuver and were monitored for five hours using an ambulatory cardiac monitoring system. The study allowed patients to treat up to 11 unique episodes.
Of 198 eligible NODE-301 patients, 169 (85%) enrolled in NODE-302 and 105 (62%) experienced a perceived episode of PSVT, self-administered etripamil, and were included in the safety population. The calculated median (mean) number of treated episodes extrapolated over the course of one year was 3.7 (6.0). Of the 105 patients who treated themselves for a perceived episode, 92 (88%) had a positively adjudicated PSVT episode. There was a total of 188 positively adjudicated PSVT episodes (range 1-10 episodes per patient) over a median of 7.4 months follow-up. Overall, the PSVT conversion rate at 30 minutes following etripamil administration was 60.2%, with a median time to conversion of 15.5 minutes (95% CI, 11.3-22.1 minutes). Among 40 patients who self-treated two consecutive episodes, 21 of 26 (81%) who converted on their first episode were also successfully converted on their second. Moreover, the need for ED intervention to terminate a PSVT episode was low (13% of patients and 8.5% of positively adjudicated PSVT episodes). Etripamil was generally well-tolerated, with adverse events consistent with those observed in previous trials; the majority of adverse events related to treatment were localized to the nasopharynx administration site, and were mild and brief.
A copy of the presentation will be available on the Publications section of the Milestone Pharmaceuticals website.
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) is a condition characterized by intermittent episodes of rapid heartbeat that start and stop suddenly and without warning that Milestone Pharmaceuticals estimates affects approximately two million Americans. Episodes of PSVT are often associated with symptoms including palpitations, sweating, chest pressure or pain, shortness of breath, sudden onset of fatigue, lightheadedness or dizziness, fainting, and anxiety. Certain intravenous medications, including adenosine, beta-blockers, and calcium channel blockers, have long been used for the acute treatment of PSVT. However, these medications must be administered under medical supervision, usually in an emergency department or other acute care setting.
Etripamil, Milestone's lead investigational product, is a calcium channel blocker designed to be a rapid-response therapy for episodic cardiovascular conditions. As a nasal spray that is self-administered by the patient, etripamil has the potential to shift the current treatment experience for many patients from the emergency department to a medically-unsupervised setting. Milestone is conducting a comprehensive development program for etripamil, with Phase 3 trials ongoing in PSVT and a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial underway in patients with atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular rate (AFib-RVR).
Milestone Pharmaceuticals Inc. (Nasdaq: MIST), is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative cardiovascular medicines. Milestone's lead product candidate etripamil is currently in a Phase 3 clinical-stage program for the treatment of PSVT and in a Phase 2 proof-of-concept trial for the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation with AFib-RVR. Milestone Pharmaceuticals operates in Canada and the United States. For more information, visit www.milestonepharma.com and follow the Company on Twitter at @MilestonePharma.

“Sonic the Hedgehog 2” sped to the top of the charts in its opening weekend, earning an impressive $71 million according to studio estimates Sunday. Paramount’s PG-rated sequel easily bested the weekend’s other major newcomer, Michael Bay’s “Ambulance,” which faltered in theaters.
“Sonic 2,” which brings back the first film’s director, writers and cast, including James Marsden, Jim Carrey and Ben Schwartz, who voices the blue video game character, opened in 4,234 locations and actually surpassed its predecessor’s opening weekend. The first “Sonic the Hedgehog” opened over the Presidents Day holiday weekend in February 2020, earning $58 million in its first three days.
“The normal pattern domestically is that sequels slide a little bit,” said Chris Aronson, the president of domestic distribution for Paramount. “But we certainly bucked that trend.”
For a sequel to open 22% above the first, Aronson added, is “quite remarkable.”
“Sonic 2” got mixed to positive reviews from critics and audiences were even more enthusiastic. They gave the CG/live-action hybrid a strong “A” CinemaScore.
“The filmmakers did a great job of being in service of not only the general audience but Sonic fans themselves,” Aronson said. “Many feel it’s a bigger, better film than the first one.”
It’s an important weekend not just for the “Sonic” franchise, but for PG-rated family films too. Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian said that one of the big questions of the pandemic was whether families would return to movie theaters with seemingly limitless viewing options available at home. According to exit polls, families made up 58% of the “Sonic 2” audience.
“There’s been some indication that they wanted to go back with movies like ‘Sing 2,’ but it’s moved in fits and starts,” said Dergarabedian. “This says once and for all that families want to go back. It’s a really good indicator of things to come for family films in 2022 with ‘Lightyear’ and the next ‘Minions’ movie.”
“Sonic 2” is also the latest in a string of theatrical hits for Paramount in 2022, including “Scream,” “Jackass Forever” and “The Lost City,” which is still in the top five.
“A lot of credit goes to our marketing and distribution teams,” Aronson said. “We’ve been judicious about picking our dates and knowing who our audience was for each.”
And their next release could be their biggest yet. “Top Gun: Maverick” opens on May 27.
Meanwhile, “Ambulance” got off to a bumpy start in its first weekend. With an estimated $8.7 million in grosses, it opened behind Sony’s “Morbius,” down 74% in weekend two, and “The Lost City.” Bay’s nail-biter about a botched bank robbery was released by Universal and stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Eiza González.
Its tepid launch proved a head-scratcher for many. Reviews weren’t terrible (it’s at a 69% on Rotten Tomatoes versus “Sonic 2’s” 67%) and on paper “Ambulance” appears to be the kind of throwback, big screen blockbuster spectacle that would draw significant crowds to the theaters.
“This is a filmmaker who will forever be looked at as a blockbuster director, whether you like his movies or not. The bar is always raised for someone like that,” Dergarabedian said. “But this is a different kind of movie and I think that’s why we’re seeing these numbers. It’s not trying to be ‘Transformers.’ If Bay’s name wasn’t on it, expectations wouldn’t be as high.”
“Sonic 2” wasn’t the only success of the weekend. A24’s critical darling “Everything Everywhere All At Once” expanded nationwide in its third weekend in theaters and earned $6.1 million from only 1,250 screens.
“A24 has done a spectacular job of rolling it out on a platform release and building buzz,” Dergarabedian said.
The film, directed by the Daniels and starring Michelle Yeoh, will expand to more theaters in the coming weeks.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. “Sonic the Hedgehog 2,” $71 million.
2. “Morbius,” $10.2 million.
3. “The Lost City,” $9.2 million.
4. “Ambulance,” $8.7 million.
5. “The Batman,” $6.5 million.
6. “Everything Everywhere All At Once,” $6.1 million.
7. “Uncharted,” $2.7 million.
8. “Jujutsu Kaisen 0,” $825,000.
9. “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” $625,000.
10. “RRR,” $570,000.

Clean Electricity Creator VGrid Energy Systems Passes Comprehensive Certification Process
CAMARILLO, Calif., Aug. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- VGrid Energy Systems, a leader in innovative renewable energy and premium biochar production, has been certified to supply the carbon markets with CO2 Removal Certificates (CORC) by Puro.earth, the world's first B2B marketplace, standard, and registry focused solely on carbon removal. This approval comes after VGrid successfully completed a comprehensive certification process, which included a detailed audit to verify compliance with Puro Standard CO2 removal biochar methodologies.
"Simply stopping our climate-damaging practices is not enough," said Greg Campbell, CEO of VGrid. "We must look to innovative approaches to reverse some of the effects of our actions and strive for carbon negative solutions. As a CO2 removal supplier with Puro.earth, we can accomplish just that: removing carbon from our atmosphere and working towards a better earth."
Focusing solely on verified net-negative technologies that can remove and store carbon at an industrial scale, Puro.earth seeks to create a world where any company can help reverse climate change by removing its carbon emissions. Puro.earth's suppliers, including VGrid, develop carbon net-negative products and/or processes and sell CORCs to climate conscious organizations and businesses who want to neutralize emissions and reach carbon net zero.
Each CORC represents one metric ton of CO2 removed from the atmosphere. Using its propriety Bioserver—a biomass gasification system that is paired with a micro-generator—VGrid creates clean, low-cost, renewable electricity and biochar from agricultural waste, specifically pistachio shells. The resulting biochar sequesters 2.94 tons of equivalent CO2 per ton of biochar produced, has a high fixed carbon percentage, and low ash content. It also offers greater porosity and resulting surface area maximizing the biochar's filtration and water-holding properties. The biochar is land applied to help increase crop yields, improve soil health, conserve water, and reduce chemical fertilization, thus further extending its positive environmental impact.
"We're proud to partner with Puro.earth, the leading marketplace, standard, and registry committed to carbon removals and mobilizing the world's economy to rewarding carbon net-negative emissions," Campbell remarked. "This certification is a major achievement for VGrid."
VGrid's Bioserver is offered in a mobile unit this is highly scalable, faster to deploy, and easily optimized for local feedstocks and market conditions. For more information on VGrid, visit VGridEnergy.com.
About VGrid
VGrid Energy Systems, Inc. focuses on innovating carbon negative solutions in renewable energy. The company creates clean electricity and beneficial co-products, such as biochar and wood vinegar, from waste biomass which would otherwise be directed to a landfill. VGrid's mobile, high-temperature, gasification units have been operating in the Central Valley of California since 2019. Based on years of field data, the technology has proven its reliability, predictability, and scalability.
About Puro.earth
Puro.earth is the world's first B2B marketplace, standard and registry focused solely on carbon removal. Aiming at climate and economic impact, our mission is to mobilize the world's economy to reward carbon net-negative emissions. We provide voluntary corporate buyers long-term carbon removal procurement portfolios to fulfill net zero pledges, by identifying suppliers, verifying their negative emissions and issuing CO2 Removal Certificates (CORCs) with the Puro Standard, the first carbon standard for engineered carbon removal. Trusted by leading organizations, Puro.earth is driving forward a market of carbon negative industries, enabling a new revenue stream for carbon removal suppliers to accelerate their growth. In 2021, Nasdaq acquired a majority stake in Puro.earth.

Veteran biotech and pharmaceutical executive will help company increase its growth and international impact
SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Standigm Inc. ("Standigm"), the leading workflow artificial intelligence (AI) drug discovery company, today announced the appointment of Chief Business Officer Carl Foster. Based in our U.S. office, Foster will be responsible for expanding strategic partnerships for novel drug target discoveries and first-in-class lead candidate identifications.

Foster began his career with Merck and Co., Inc. where he had spent nine years in business development, marketing, and sales. Most recently, he was executive vice president, business development for Cempra Pharmaceuticals. Prior to that, he was CEO of Jurilab, a European-based genomics company. Foster has also held vice president-level positions at Nanogen, King Pharmaceuticals, Oxford GlycoSciences and Praecis Pharmaceuticals. In addition, he was general manager of Intracel BV, a Netherlands-based immunology company and managing director of Ferghana Partners, a New York-based investment banking group.

Clinton Lake turns bright green, is being tested
DOUGLAS COUNTY, Kan. (KCTV) - Clinton Lake has turned bright green and further testing is going to be done in order to make sure the change in color isn’t due to harmful algae blooms.
According to an official Facebook page for the lake, reports have been received that there may be harmful algae blooms in the lake.
However, “the blooms are small and inconsistent” with harmful ones. That being said, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment is going to do further testing and help determine what should be done.
In the meantime, people are being asked to exercise caution and learn how to identify harmful algae blooms so they can avoid them. Information you can use to educate yourself is available here.
Exposure to harmful algae blooms is dangerous for humans and dogs.
Clinton Lake is just to the west of Lawrence, Kansas.

WASHINGTON, May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Fannie Mae (OTCQB: FNMA) announced today that it has executed its fifth Credit Insurance Risk Transfer™ (CIRT™) transaction of 2022. As part of Fannie Mae's ongoing effort to reduce taxpayer risk by increasing the role of private capital in the mortgage market, CIRT 2022-5 transferred $733.3 million of mortgage credit risk to private insurers and reinsurers. Since inception to date, Fannie Mae has acquired approximately $19.2 billion of insurance coverage on $656.6 billion of single-family loans through the CIRT program, measured at the time of issuance for both post-acquisition (bulk) and front-end transactions.
"We appreciate our continued partnership with the 22 insurers and reinsurers that have committed to write coverage for this deal," said Rob Schaefer, Fannie Mae Vice President for Capital Markets.
The covered loan pool for CIRT 2022-5 consists of approximately 67,700 single-family mortgage loans with an outstanding unpaid principal balance of approximately $21 billion. The covered pool includes collateral with loan-to-value ratios of 80.01 percent to 97.00 percent acquired between October 2021 and December 2021. The loans included in this transaction are fixed-rate, generally 30-year term, fully amortizing mortgages and were underwritten using rigorous credit standards and enhanced risk controls.
With CIRT 2022-5, which became effective April 1, 2022, Fannie Mae will retain risk for the first 65 basis points of loss on the $21 billion covered loan pool. If the $136.2 million retention layer is exhausted, 22 insurers and reinsurers will cover the next 350 basis points of loss on the pool, up to a maximum coverage of $733.3 million.
Coverage for this deal is provided based upon actual losses for a term of 12.5 years. Depending on the paydown of the insured pool and the principal amount of insured loans that become seriously delinquent, the aggregate coverage amount may be reduced at the one-year anniversary and each month thereafter. The coverage on this deal may be canceled by Fannie Mae at any time on or after the five-year anniversary of the effective date by paying a cancellation fee.
As of March 31, 2022, approximately $906 billion in outstanding UPB of loans in our single-family conventional guaranty book of business were included in a reference pool for a credit risk transfer transaction.
To promote transparency and to help insurers and reinsurers evaluate the CIRT program, Fannie Mae provides ongoing, robust disclosure data, as well as access to news, resources, and analytics through its credit risk transfer webpages. This includes Fannie Mae's innovative Data Dynamics® tool that enables market participants to interact with and analyze both CIRT deals that are currently outstanding in the market and Fannie Mae's historical loan dataset. For more information on individual CIRT transactions, including pricing, please visit our Credit Insurance Risk Transfer webpage.

PARIS (AP) — French President Emmanuel Macron proposed Wednesday to “legislate in a different way” based on compromises between diverse political forces, three days after he suffered a major political blow when his party lost its parliamentary majority.
Macron spoke in a national televised address after two days of back-to-back meetings with the leaders of rival parties, in an effort to show he is open to dialogue. But those rivals appeared determined to remain in opposition to Macron and not keen to cooperate with him. Macron was re-elected to the presidency in April.
“We must collectively learn to govern and legislate in a different way,” Macron said in his TV address, offering to “build some new compromises with the political movements composing the new assembly.”
“It must not mean (political) standstill. It must mean deals,” he added.
These was his first public comments after his centrist Together! alliance won the most seats — 245 — but still fell 44 lawmakers short of a majority in France’s most powerful house of parliament. His government retains the ability to rule, but only by bargaining with legislators.
The main opposition force is the leftist Nupes coalition created by hard-left firebrand Jean-Luc Melenchon, with 131 seats.
Far-right leader Marine Le Pen made a grand entrance Wednesday into the National Assembly with scores of lawmakers from her National Rally party, which obtained a historic score of 89 seats.
Such a political situation is highly unusual in France.
Macron said the National Assembly’s composition echoes “fractures, deep divisions across our country.”
“I believe it’s possible … to find a broader and clearer majority to take action,” he said.
He then listed a series of measures included in his own political platform, suggesting he does not intend to radically change his policies. His campaign promises include measures to boost purchasing power, tax cuts and raising the minimum retirement age from 62 to 65.
Macron urged political parties to say within the next two days whether they would be ready to form a government coalition or commit to vote some bills on a case-by-case basis.
Leaders from key parties, including the leftist coalition, the conservatives and the far-right, have already suggested a governmental coalition is not an option.
Macron ruled out the idea of a “national union” that would include all political forces in the government as “not justified to this day.”
The president retains control over foreign policy. Macron heads Thursday to a series of global summits expected to focus on the war in Ukraine. | https://cw33.com/news/international/ap-international/frances-macron-offers-to-compromise-after-parliament-loss/ | 2022-06-23T00:11:02Z |

North Canton company launches website connecting career seekers with trade schools
NORTH CANTON – The founder of a website developed to help people find entry level jobs has created a new site with links and information about trade schools.
The site is best-trade-school.net. Visitors can link to an area of interest then use their ZIP code to find trade schools close to them that offer training. The site offers information about the potential career and contact information for schools.
Doug Crawford launched Job-Applications.com in 2010 with the goal to help young, inexperienced workers find entry-level or part-time jobs. He's applying that formula to the website for trade schools.
The site averages between 30,000 and 40,000 visits per month, Crawford said. Visitors can link to or print job applications, hear interview tips, and listen to folks who have landed a job and started a career using the site.
Crawford said high schools tend to prepare students for college careers, but not everyone wants to attend college. Trade schools are a place where people can get started in a job that leads to a good-paying career.
Recent graduates and people looking for a career change have been moving to trade schools where they can learn new skills.
The coronavirus pandemic prompted a number of people to consider changing, Crawford said. Restaurant workers who found themselves unemployed because of shutdowns started looking at other options. Crawford said there are estimates that a quarter of the people who worked in restaurants have opted to seek other jobs.
He has spent the past two years developing the website. It has taken time to build, and to gain traction with trade schools around the country, he said.
Training might be offered through schools, as well as union apprenticeship programs, Crawford said.
As with Job-Applications.com, Crawford is offering a $1,000 "New Journeys" scholarship contest to help people cover the cost for trade school. Since 2013, the Job-Applications.com site has presented more than $40,000 worth of scholarships.
The site helps visitors connect with 20 different career options. Half are related to health care professions, for example dental, pharmacy or phlebotomy technicians. Site visitors also can research careers as welders, mechanics or electricians.
Crawford hopes the site can help people looking for a new start.
"Now that it's ready, hopefully it will help some people as they prepare for a new journey," he said.

VANCOUVER, BC, May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - B2Gold Corp. (TSX: BTO), (NYSE AMERICAN: BTG), (NSX: B2G) ("B2Gold") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive Scheme Implementation Agreement ("Agreement") with Oklo Resources Limited (ASX: OKU) ("Oklo") pursuant to which B2Gold has agreed to acquire 100% of the fully paid ordinary shares of Oklo (the "Oklo Shares") in consideration for 0.0206 of a common share of B2Gold (each whole share, a "B2Gold Share") and A$0.0525 in cash for each Oklo Share held ("Scheme Consideration"). The Scheme Consideration represents a purchase price of approximately A$0.1725 for each Oklo Share and values the transaction at approximately A$91.3 million (including up to approximately A$27.4 million cash consideration). The transaction as contemplated by the Agreement (the "Transaction") will be implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement pursuant to Part 5.1 of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ("Scheme"). Upon implementation of the Scheme, in addition to the cash consideration, B2Gold expects to issue up to 10,754,284 B2Gold Shares to Oklo shareholders, representing approximately 1% of the B2Gold Shares on an undiluted basis.
The acquisition of Oklo is expected to provide B2Gold with an additional landholding of 1,405 km2 covering highly prospective greenstone belts in Mali, West Africa, including Oklo's flagship Dandoko Project (550 km2). The Oklo properties are located on a subparallel, north-trending structure east of the prolific Senegal-Mali Shear Zone, approximately 25 kilometres from the Fekola Mine and approximately 25 kilometres from the Anaconda area, where B2Gold is currently conducting a 2022 Mali drill program of approximately 225,000 metres of drilling with a budget of US$35.5 million.
In March 2021, Oklo delivered an initial JORC 2012 compliant Measured and Indicated mineral resource estimate of 8.70 million tonnes at 1.88 grams per tonne ("g/t") for 528,000 ounces of gold and an Inferred mineral resource estimate of 2.63 million tonnes at 1.67 g/t for 141,000 ounces of gold. The mineral resources are distributed across the Seko, Koko, Disse and Diabarou deposits, which all remain open and are expected to grow with ongoing exploration drilling both along strike and at depth. Significantly, B2Gold believes that approximately 65% of the resource is contained in soft oxidized material, which would be amenable to processing at B2Gold's Fekola mill.
The Board of Directors of B2Gold has unanimously approved the Transaction, including, without limitation, the Scheme Consideration.
The Board of Directors of Oklo considers the Scheme to be in the best interests of Oklo shareholders and has unanimously recommended the Scheme to Oklo Shareholder and recommends that all Oklo shareholders vote in favour of the proposed Scheme at the Scheme Meeting (as defined below), in both cases in the absence of a superior proposal or the independent expert appointed by Oklo (the "Independent Expert") concluding that the Scheme is not in the best interests of Oklo shareholders. Subject to those same qualifications, each director of Oklo intends to vote (or cause to be voted) all Oklo Shares in which he or she has a Relevant Interest (as defined in the Agreement) in favour of the Scheme, representing approximately 3% of the issued and outstanding Oklo Shares, and any other scheme related matters at the meeting of the shareholders of Oklo (the "Scheme Meeting").
Pursuant to the Agreement, B2Gold has agreed to acquire all the fully paid Oklo Shares by way of the Scheme pursuant to which Oklo shareholders will receive 0.0206 B2Gold Shares and A$0.0525 in cash for each Oklo Share held. In addition, under the terms of the Agreement, Oklo is required to procure that all unvested Oklo options automatically vest, in accordance with their terms upon the Supreme Court of Western Australia (the "Court") approving the Scheme. Oklo optionholders who exercise their Oklo options prior to the Scheme record date will be entitled to participate in the Scheme. Additionally, Oklo has entered into option cancellation deeds with certain Oklo optionholders pursuant to which their unexercised options will be cancelled with effect on implementation of the Scheme.
The Transaction, including without limitation, the Scheme, is subject to approval by the Court, the Oklo shareholders at the Scheme Meeting, together with other customary closing conditions. The Scheme is also conditional on, among other things, approval from the Malian Minister of Mines of the indirect transfer of ownership of certain mineral rights, and approval from the TSX and NYSE American, including in respect of the issuance and listing of new B2Gold Shares issuable pursuant to the Scheme.
A Scheme Booklet setting out the key terms of the Transaction, including the Scheme, the Independent Expert's report and the reasons for the Oklo directors' recommendation will be sent to all Oklo shareholders in due course. The Scheme Meeting to consider the Scheme is expected to be held in August 2022 and the Scheme is expected to be implemented in September 2022, subject to satisfaction of all conditions and receipt of all necessary approvals. The Scheme is conditional, among other things, upon approval by at least 75% of the number of votes cast, and more than 50% of the number of Oklo shareholders present and voting, at the Scheme Meeting.
The Agreement also contains customary deal protection mechanisms, including no shop and no talk provisions, matching and notification rights for B2Gold in the event of a competing proposal and a reimbursement fee payable by Oklo in specified circumstances.
Tom Garagan, Senior Vice President of Exploration at B2Gold, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the information contained in this news release.
B2Gold is a low-cost international senior gold producer headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. Founded in 2007, today, B2Gold has operating gold mines in Mali, Namibia and the Philippines and numerous exploration and development projects in various countries including Mali, Colombia, Finland and Uzbekistan.

The initiative is considered to be a pioneer among the state public banks of Brazil and aims to monitor market changes and help meet consumer needs to support financial inclusion in the country.
MIAMI, June 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Banese Group introduces a new digital bank, Desty, to the Brazilian market. This launch was made possible with the support of Technisys, a strategic technology partner that provides a proven, next-gen digital banking platform. With this latest development, the Banese Group offers new financial products and services to a targeted market segment that does not have ready access to mainstream financial services.
Desty is designed to help Brazilian consumers within classes C and D, as well as small-medium business entrepreneurs - providing educational services that enable financial wellness, whether to manage the family budget, realize a retirement goal or boost business growth.
Among Brazil's five-state public banks, the Banese Group is the first to launch a digital bank in the market. Desty's digital DNA delivers a humanized and inclusive customer experience, while providing financial support to those who do not have easy access to traditional banks. "Our new digital platform expands financial inclusion. We are digital, but not impersonal, and we want to reflect this DNA of human warmth and inclusion with the new digital bank," says Jumara Mendonça, the Superintendent of Digital Business at Banese.
With more than 60 years of solid performance in the Sergipe market (the state of Brazil, located in the Northeast region), Banese has always sought to break traditional concepts and proactively meet market growth. Partnering with Technisys was important for building a robust, modular, scalable, and secure digital ecosystem.
Desty features a mobile-based platform - inspired by social networks and based on leading-edge iOS (Apple) and Android (Google) capabilities - to deliver a consistent and reliable mobile experience. The newly formed digital bank offers customers an intuitive, practical, easy-to-navigate, and secure digital experience. Banese currently serves more than 800,000 customers in Sergipe state and is expected to expand to other Brazilian states and expects to reach 5 million users within the next five years.
"The purpose of the new digital bank is to add, not replace, current Banese's services, supporting the bank's growth and geographic expansion. I believe that we will have a stronger institution that can create more job openings and income for the country," said Luciano Passo, the Director of Strategic Management and Technology at Banese.
Desty's project implementation started in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic. Regardless, the Banese Group and Technisys teams successfully managed an aggressive schedule, even as teams worked entirely remotely. In addition, during the project, it was necessary to work on new business requirements, such as the adaptation to regulatory demands and emergency credit programs due to the pandemic.
"Cyberbank - the banking platform implemented in Banese - is designed to align technology with the specific needs of each business line with agility and scalability. We are a cloud-native, API-centric platform with open banking capabilities, enabling financial institutions to develop robust, digital-first applications and services - in real-time - to meet ever-changing market needs," added German Pugliese-Bassi, Co-Founder and CMO of Technisys.
With Desty, the Banese Group is able to deliver tailored digital experiences, establishing itself as one of the most innovative government financial institutions in Brazil.
Technisys is a leading next-gen digital and core banking platform that redefines the customer experience. As a best-in-class technology platform, Technisys uniquely delivers differentiation in two keyways. By empowering financial institutions to dynamically create tailored financial products at the speed of commerce, and by empowering them to offer meaningful recommendations to customers at point of need. Technisys uses data-driven insights and integrate them with its unique technology that enables structural flexibility. A flexibility that allows financial institutions to create and tailor any financial product – in real time – to deliver a seamless digital experience at every customer touchpoint whether online, on the phone, or at a branch. Giving banks and fintechs the agility to tailor [offerings/products/] that become integral to a customer's lifestyle in new and profound ways, down to the segment of one.
Banese is a publicly traded, mixed economy company controlled by the State of Sergipe, a catalyst for the economic growth of Sergipe society through the provision of banking services. They form the economic conglomerate with Sergipe Administradora de Cartão e Serviços S.A. (SEAC). Also, part of the brand are Banese Corretora e Administradora de Seguros, Instituto Banese de Seguridade Social (SERGUS), Caixa de Assistência dos Empregados do Banese (CASSE) and Instituto Banese, the latter responsible for managing socio-environmental responsibility and support for cultural events.

Anytime there was a major life event at her synagogue, Jacki Sundheim was on top of it.
The 63-year-old meticulously planned virtually every bar mitzvah, bat mitzvah, wedding and funeral at North Shore Congregation Israel in Glencoe, Illinois.
"I learned a lot from her," said fellow congregant Jamie Greenebaum. "She was very, very smart. She was very, very -- as they say, genuine. I would say honest."
Then suddenly this week, the woman beloved for her candor and compassion was gone: gunned down, along with six others, at a Fourth of July parade in nearby Highland Park.
At first, her grief-stricken congregation didn't know who would take the reins and plan Sundheim's synagogue funeral with the same tenacity and care she always bestowed on others.
Then Greenebaum, a funeral director in a nearby city, reached out to the rabbi.
"I'm here if you need me," she told the faith leader, who connected her with Sundheim's family.
While Greenebaum has experience working with bereaved families, "it's a lot harder when you know the person," she said.
"I just never thought I would have to do it for her."
Sundheim's funeral, at 11 a.m. CT Friday, will be open to the public except the news media. Greenebaum is preparing for countless mourners -- perhaps close to a thousand.
Beyond that, she has been making plans for shiva, a weeklong mourning period in Judaism.
The enormous task has been so challenging that Greenebaum almost tried to call Sundheim for help.
"My immediate thought was, 'It's a shiva at the synagogue. I have to call Jacki,'" Greenebaum said.
"And then I took a second and realized that I couldn't."
'Seven entire worlds were completely destroyed'
Sundheim's impact on her community was evident by the hundreds of mourners who gathered at the synagogue Tuesday night for "A Service of Comfort and Consolation."
They grieved not just the loss of a cherished leader but also the deaths of the other victims senselessly killed.
"Seven entire worlds were completely destroyed," said Wendi Geffen, senior rabbi at North Shore Congregation Israel.
"We are here this evening united in profound horror, immense sadness and anger."
Rabbis Lisa Greene and Ryan Daniels openly asked some of the most difficult questions surrounding the sort of tragedy too many American communities have faced -- and gave comfort to the bereaved.
"Another mass shooting -- too many dead, and too many wounded. And we are left to mourn the dead, to heal the wounded, to wonder why -- in the world which you, God, created?" Greene asked.
"Is this part of your plan? That death and destruction emerges from the free will you entrusted to us? That automatic gunfire rains down unceasingly? That people kill people, using weapons we designed and created with the minds you accorded us?"
"Give us strength to move forward," Daniels said. "Not by forgetting this horror. Not by explaining it away. Not by blaming the easy target. But first by having the courage to mourn the dead, heal the victims, bless the first responders, lead with love."

SHANGHAI, May 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Dizal (SSE: 688192) will present the data from an ongoing phase I/II study of golidocitnib, a selective JAK1 inhibitor, in refractory or relapsed peripheral T cell lymphoma (r/r PTCL) in oral session at the 27th European Hematology Association 2022 (EHA2022) Hybrid Congress in Vienna, Austria, 12 June 2022.
PTCL is a heterogeneous group of clinically aggressive diseases associated with poor outcome. Currently there is no consensus on the standard treatment for r/r PTCL. Patients with PTCL face an extremely high risk of disease relapse even if they achieved tumor remission following 1L conventional therapy. And the response rates to commonly used 2L agents are below 30%. Hence, there is an urgent unmet need for patients diagnosed with r/r PTCL.
A couple of years ago, Dizal first identified that JAK/STAT may mediate the pathogenesis of PTCL and launched clinical studies to test the hypothesis. Golidocitnib is an orally available, potent JAK1 inhibitor with > 200 – 400-fold selectivity over other JAK family members. The agent is currently being studied in the global pivotal clinical trial for the treatment of r/r PTCL.
Key data (cutoff date: 31 May 2021) to be presented at EHA2022 include:
- 49 patients completed at least one post-treatment Lugano assessment, of whom 21 have achieved tumor response.
- The median duration of treatment (DoR) was not reached, and the longest DoR was >14months.
- 20 patients (39.2%) experienced grade 3 treatment emergence adverse events (TEAEs) possibly related to the drug. The majority of TEAEs were reversible or clinically manageable with dose modification.
The clinical data from the ongoing phase I/II study of golidocitnib shows good safety and promising anti-tumor efficacy in patients with r/r PTCL, providing an exciting potential treatment option for these patients. Golidocitnib received FDA Fast Track Designation for the treatment of r/r PTCL in February 2022.
Earlier results of this study were first presented on 22 June 2021 during an oral session at the 2021 International Conference on Malignant Lymphoma (ICML) Annual Meeting.
"We are thrilled to share the updated results from the phase I/II study of golidocitnib in patients with r/r PTCL at 2022EHA." said Dr. Xiaolin Zhang, Chief Executive Officer of Dizal. "This, along with FDA's recent decision to grant Fast Track designation, strengthens our belief that golidocitnib has enormous potential for PTCL patients."
Details of the oral presentations are as follows:
Title: A phase I/II study of golidocitinib, a selective JAK1 inhibitor, in refractory or relapsed peripheral T cell lymphoma
Session Title: Aggressive Lymphoma – Novel agents
Session date and time: Sunday, June 12 11:30 – 12:45 (CEST)
Session room: Hall C1

Senior Indian officials began talks Thursday with Sri Lankan leaders on economic assistance, a day after Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe announced the country’s economy had “collapsed.”
Sri Lankans have endured months of shortages of food, fuel and other necessities due to the country’s dwindling foreign exchange reserves and mounting debt, worsened by the pandemic and other longer term troubles.
India’s foreign secretary and the chief government economic adviser met with President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and Wickremesinghe and were later scheduled to meet other top officials.
Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said the delegation said India was ready to help Sri Lanka achieve a “quick economic recovery through promoting investments, connectivity and strengthening economic linkages.” There was no immediate comment from the Sri Lankan side.
Wickremesinghe’s gloomy comments to Parliament on Wednesday appeared aimed at fending off criticism over a deteriorating situation long in the making. Economists and other Sri Lankans said they were hoping the government would find ways to revive the economy.
“What the prime minister should do is not to make announcements. He has to come up with a plan to reactivate the system,” said W.A Wijewardena, an economist and former deputy governor of Sri Lanka’s Central Bank.
Ordinary Sri Lankans have grown disillusioned as they skimp on meals and go without other necessities, seeing their quality of life crumble due to forces beyond their control.
At midnight Wednesday, retired government employee Dharmasena Perera leaned on his motorbike at a fuel station on the outskirts of the capital Colombo, trying to catch some sleep after spending nearly 15 hours waiting in line to buy fuel. He said he joined the line at 6 in the morning and went without lunch and dinner. At midnight, he was still waiting for his turn.
“He (the PM) always says things are getting bad and difficult. It seems he also does not have solutions,” Perera said.
At another fuel station in Gampaha, a town about 30 kilometers (18 miles) northeast of Colombo, salesman Nuwan Pradeep likewise said people were well enough aware of the crisis, but the government appeared to have no solutions.
“There is no point in just explaining the same problem to us all the time,” said Pradeep.
India has supported Sri Lanka with a $4 billion credit line to help it buy fuel and other essentials.
Sri Lanka also is negotiating with the International Monetary Fund on a bailout after it stopped payments on its debts.

Rossville boil water advisory rescinded by KDHE
ROSSVILLE, Kan. (WIBW) - The Kansas Department of Health and Environment has rescinded a boil water advisory for the City of Rossville.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment says on Tuesday, April 26, it rescinded a boil water advisory for the City of Rossville public water supply system in Shawnee Co.
The advisory was issued on Monday, April 25.
KDHE said the advisory was issued due to a loss in pressure in the distribution system. It said inadequate pressure could result in a loss of chlorine residuals and bacterial contamination.
The Department noted that public water suppliers in Kansas take all necessary measures to notify residents quickly after a system failure or shutdown. Regardless of whether the supplier or the department announces an advisory, it said it is the only entity that can rescind the order after testing at a certified lab.
KDHE said lab testing samples collected from the City of Rossville show no evidence of bacteriological contamination and all other conditions which placed the system at risk have been deemed resolved by officials.

BIO-CAPSULE™ and MICROBILIZE™ Protect and Position Microbes to Maximize Impact
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Sept. 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Meristem announced here today the commercial launch of two patent-pending biological delivery systems – BIO-CAPSULE™ and MICROBILIZE™ – building on their effort to bring real productivity gains to farmers. Both innovative technology systems result from work with leading industry partners and are designed to work seamlessly with farming operations to dramatically increase the performance of a broad range of biologicals.
"A very important piece of our mission at Meristem is opening up a faster pathway to more farmers for new innovative technology," said Mitch Eviston, Meristem Founder and CEO in unveiling the two new patent-pending systems. "We're out to clear any hurdle to using these new beneficial biologicals and with BIO-CAPSULE™ and MICROBILIZE™ we take two more giant steps. This is all about creating greater productivity for American farmers."
The BIO-CAPSULE TECHNOLOGY™ Planter Box Delivery System, is a revolutionary packaging system designed to carry, protect, and dispense a multitude of biologicals into a seed lubricant blend plus micronutrients. It will be launched commercially in crop-year 2023 as part the REVLINE HOPPER THROTTLE™ product evolution.
"REVLINE HOPPER THROTTLE Corn, now powered by BIO-CAPSULE, is truly a game changer because the new technology allows for so many proven ingredients to work together effectively as a single product," said Joe Gednalske, Meristem Product Development Lead, who already holds 41 patents on crop inputs and application technology. For crop year 2023, said Gednalske, one of Bio-Capsules will be charged with Terrasym®, an industry leading proprietary bio-stimulant developed by NewLeaf Symbiotics that helps plants increase nutrient uptake to develop a massive root structure. Another BIO-CAPSULE will be charged with a microbial team proven to fix nitrogen and solubilize nutrients. In the base is an 80/20 talc blend with iron and manganese, plus 1.35 pounds of a specially-formulated zinc.
"The BIO-CAPSULE TECHNOLOGY enables these microbes to stay separated from talc and zinc to keep their full strength all the way to when they are deployed at planting," explains Gednalske. "That means more vigor and vitality in the furrow."
NewLeaf Technical Product Director, Dr. Allison Jack, says the BIO-CAPSULE system is key to what's next because it delivers live microbes in powder formulation directly to the seed in a way that ensures they only become active during seed germination. "The microbes are protected until they are ready to use. The BIO-CAPSULE will give us the opportunity to show what our new corn rootworm biological can do," she said. "We've just gotten the green light from the EPA and are excited to work with Meristem on demonstrating its efficacy and its convenience, pending state approvals."
MICROBILIZE™ Microbe Technology Delivery System, the second patent-pending product announced, covers a liquid formulation technology that enhances microbe health, increases vigor, and speeds reproduction at the target. MICROBILIZE uses a surfactant system, fulvic acid and other ingredients to increase the shelf life and performance of microbes. The first commercial launch for MICROBILIZE is a new improvement of Meristem's industry leading residue management and nutrient release product --- EXCAVATOR™.
"With MICROBILIZE, the surfactant package penetrates the cuticle for faster breakdown of the residue," said Gednalske. "We've seen a dramatic increase in microbe survivability and productivity." Gednalske worked with researchers at DPH Biologicals™ and others to measure the impact of MICROBILIZE™. Meristem will license the technology to other providers of biologicals with the tagline "Powered by MICROBILIZE Microbe Technology Delivery System." Meristem's EXCAVATOR™ carries a unique collection of six different residue-eating microbes, reaching a total of 700 billion total colony-forming units (CFUs) per gallon.
"As biologicals become more mainstream, it is important for these products to consistently perform to earn grower trust," said Mick Messman, president and CEO of DPH Biologicals. He added that innovations like the MICROBILIZE™ delivery technology paired with DPH Bio's unique biological platform play an important role in generating a new level of consistent performance that will drive rapid adoption. "Trusted biologicals are proving their ROI (return on investment) and we have seen significant growth with our portfolio over the past year. We look forward to continued collaborations with Meristem to develop and introduce new innovative biological solutions."
John Gertz, Meristem's COO, said combining EXCAVATOR™ and REVLINE HOPPER THROTTLE™ can truly be considered the starter system for the next generation. "That's why we focused on getting these new delivery systems right – to bring more real productivity to American farmers." He said BIO-CAPSULE is a step-change innovation enabling a bolt-on of new formulations without the expense of re-registration, which reduces waste. "Simply put, we can help farmers add more bushels and keep more of what they earn from each one."
"We serve farmers best when we can bring them innovation that helps them produce more output for every unit of input," summarizes Rob McClelland, Meristem President and CMO. "But we must make it convenient for them at field-level. And that's what these new delivery systems are about – safeguarding the product and making it easier for farmers to improve crop health, yields and ROI. We're excited for the opportunity this brings our dealer-partners to be market leaders."
Meristem Crop Performance Group, LLC (www.meristemag.com) is one of the fastest-growing crop input companies in America. Meristem sources, formulates, licenses, and delivers high- quality crop inputs to farmers at the highest possible value, at substantial savings. Meristem is focused on building a highly efficient channel to bring crop inputs to market so farm businesses can make the most of their infrastructure and intellectual property investments and better compete in the global agricultural market. Meristem's team of experienced ag professionals also works to create real productivity gains for farm businesses through novel biological delivery systems and accelerated access to farm-ready innovations.

5 dead after severe thunderstorms in Ontario and Quebec; hundreds of thousands without power
By Raja Razek, CNN
Five people are reported dead after severe thunderstorms raced through parts of Canada on Saturday, according to Environment Canada.
“There were five fatalities reported and a few others injured as a result of the strong winds with this line of thunderstorms,” read a weather summary for Ontario and the National Capital Region. “There was also extensive damage to trees, power lines and buildings. There were also overturned cars reported as well as widespread power outages.”
The line of thunderstorms developed near Sarnia, a city in Ontario, late Saturday morning and tracked over southern Ontario towards Ottawa Saturday afternoon, according to Environment Canada.
The storm left more than 350,000 customers without power, and “many power outages continue today,” the agency said Sunday.
Storms also swept through central Quebec on Saturday, resulting in broken tree limbs, uprooted trees, damage to buildings and “more than 500,000 homes without power,” Environment Canada said.
Hydro Quebec said on its website that restoration of service progressed overnight and Sunday morning, and close to 500 crews were mobilized on Sunday.
“Severe thunderstorms that moved across Quebec on Saturday night caused many power outages, mainly in the Laurentians, Outaouais and Lanaudière. At the height of the event, approximately 550,000 customers were without power,” Hydro Quebec said on its website.
Currently, Hydro One is reporting that more than 200,000 customers are without power in Ontario.

CORAL GABLES, Fla., Sept. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- MasTec, Inc. (NYSE: MTZ) (the "Company") today announced its amendment of the terms of its private exchange offer to certain Eligible Holders (as defined herein) (the "Exchange Offer") for any and all outstanding 6.625% Senior Notes due August 15, 2029 (the "IEA Existing Notes") issued by IEA Energy Services LLC (the "IEA Issuer"), a subsidiary of Infrastructure and Energy Alternatives, Inc. ("IEA"), for up to an aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 of new 6.625% MasTec Senior Notes due August 15, 2029 issued by the Company (the "MTZ Exchange Notes"). The Company has amended the Exchange Offer (i) to extend the Consent Deadline (as defined herein) and (ii) to extend the Early Tender Date (as defined herein). Except as otherwise described in this press release, the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer set forth in the Offering Memorandum (as defined herein) remain unchanged.
The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation are being conducted in connection with, and are conditioned upon the completion of, the previously announced merger in which IEA would become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger"), which is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, subject to customary closing conditions, regulatory approvals and approval by the stockholders of IEA.
As part of the Exchange Offer, the Company is soliciting consents (the "Consent Solicitation") with respect to the IEA Existing Notes, to eliminate or modify certain of the covenants, restrictive provisions and events of default (the "Proposed Amendments") in the indenture, dated as of August 17, 2021, governing the IEA Existing Notes. The Proposed Amendments require the valid consent of the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of IEA Existing Notes, excluding IEA Existing Notes held by certain affiliated holders of IEA (the "Requisite Consents").
The Company has amended the Early Tender Date to be 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 9, 2022 (such date and time, as the same may be further extended, the "Early Tender Date"). In addition, the Company has amended the Consent Deadline to be the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September 9, 2022 and (ii) 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date the Requisite Consents are obtained (such date and time, as the same may be further extended, the "Consent Deadline").
Subject to applicable law, the Company expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to amend the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation in any respect, including to (i) extend the Early Tender Date without extending the Consent Deadline, (ii) extend the Consent Deadline or (iii) provide that the Early Tender Premium (as defined in the Offering Memorandum) will be payable only to Eligible Holders who validly tender and do not validly withdraw IEA Existing Notes at or prior to the Consent Deadline.
At any time before the Expiration Date (as defined herein), if the Company receives the Requisite Consents, the IEA Issuer has agreed that the IEA Issuer, IEA and the trustee of the IEA Existing Notes will execute and deliver a supplemental indenture relating to the Proposed Amendments, which will be effective upon execution on the date the Requisite Consents are obtained but will only become operative upon the settlement date of the Exchange Offer. An Eligible Holder that validly tenders (and does not validly withdraw) its IEA Existing Notes and validly delivers a consent prior to the Consent Deadline, but validly withdraws such IEA Existing Notes after the Consent Deadline but prior to the Expiration Date, will receive the Consent Payment (as defined in the Offering Memorandum), even if such Eligible Holder is no longer the beneficial owner of such IEA Existing Notes at the Expiration Date, but will not receive the Early Tender Premium or the Exchange Consideration (as defined in the Offering Memorandum).
The Company, at its option, may complete the Exchange Offer even if the Requisite Consents are not received. Any amendment or waiver of the terms of or conditions with respect to the Exchange Offer by the Company will automatically amend or waive such terms or conditions with respect to the Consent Solicitation unless expressly stated otherwise.
The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation are being made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offering memorandum, dated August 8, 2022, as amended by the Offering Memorandum Supplement, dated August 22, 2022 (as so amended, the "Offering Memorandum"), as such terms and conditions are amended by this press release, and are conditioned upon the closing of the Merger, which condition may not be waived by the Company, and certain other conditions that may be waived by the Company.

DURHAM, N.C., July 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Amid a year of agency growth, new client signings (Blue Diamond Almonds) and a new practice opening (McKinney Health), McKinney is promoting two key executives: Suz Keen and Lyle Yetman. Both have been promoted from Group Creative Director to Executive Creative Director (ECD), previously unfilled roles at the full service agency. Suz and Lyle will be responsible for developing talent, growing the business, and elevating the agency's work in Durham, New York, Los Angeles and Dallas. The move is spurred by the agency's continued expansion during this busy year.
Chief Creative Officer, Jonathan Cude, said of the newly minted ECDs, "Lyle and Suz are among the most talented creative leaders in advertising today. Having both of them at McKinney is an embarrassment of riches. They bring a lot to the table and will work well together as a team to help lead the agency going forward. It's a proud day for McKinney."
Suz started at McKinney in October 2021 and in her new role, she will work to inspire and provide clarity to the people she interacts with everyday as well as the agency's client partners. Suz will oversee the LA office, which leads the newly-signed Blue Diamond Almonds account as well as Columbia Sportswear, plus clients across entertainment, home services and tech. Suz will also oversee work out of the Dallas office, which leads the agency's Samsung business. She was recently selected to be on the 2022 Cannes Young Lions jury and the 2022 Effies jury. Suz is a powerful voice in support of women in the advertising industry, especially those in creative and tech, and she's passionate about diversifying the industry. Previously, Suz worked at TBWA, which took her to their Australian offices. She has also freelanced extensively working on brands from Adidas to Amazon, and State Farm to Stripe, including the award winning Adidas campaign for the 2014 FIFA World Cup™ in Brazil.
"I am beyond thrilled to be stepping into this new role at McKinney and continuing my journey with the agency," said Suz Keen. "I am hoping to inspire the team through curiosity, empathy and fun as well as utilize my experience and network of talent that I've cultivated throughout my career."
Lyle joined McKinney in 2015 and has created award-winning work across multiple accounts. He was instrumental in helping McKinney land the Little Caesars business; Lyle and his teams have gone on to create Cannes-winning Super Bowl work for the brand, as well taking Little Caesars beyond TV into unique experiential ideas, including last years "Unlock Pretzel Crust" and the award winning social campaign "Stuffed People." Under his watch Little Caesars has become the most followed pizza brand on TikTok. In his new role, Yetman will be overseeing all the creative in both Durham and New York, pushing the level of the work as well as supporting creative directors in their day-to-day running of accounts. Lyle previously worked at BSSP on Converse, including launching Dwayne Wade's first sneaker, and he was responsible for creating the Priceline Negotiator campaign as well as running MINI Cooper. Lyle is passionate about the work. His scrappy underdog mentality has produced incredible results for his clients, including ESPN and Cannes winner, Carmax.
"McKinney has felt like home since the first minute I walked through the door, and I'm excited to keep growing here," said Lyle Yetman. "My expertise lies in pushing creative work which is ultimately how we're measured in this industry and how I measure myself. I hope to continue to push myself and inspire the team to do the same as executive creative director."
Suz and Lyle will work in partnership, with Suz focused on LA and Dallas and Lyle focused on Durham and New York. McKinney has a collaborative cross office model, accounts have a lead office but are serviced by team members across all four locations. In this model Suz and Lyle's partnership is integral to McKinney's success and has contributed to the agency's growth and strong 2022.
"Suz is really gifted as a creative and as a leader, I know that partnering together is going to bring out the best in each of us and the agency,' said Yetman. "In short, she kicks ass."
"Working with Lyle is like winning the jackpot. His wit comes with ease and I've always admired his work," say Keen. "I'm thrilled to start this chapter with him as a partner."

Teen among 4 killed in Florida murder-suicide
CASSELBERRY, Fla. (WKMG) - Four people are dead after an apparent murder-suicide in Florida on Tuesday and among the dead is a 15-year-old boy who called 911 saying he had been shot.
Casselberry Chief of Police Larry Krantz says his officers were first called to the teen’s apartment in the Carrington Park Community last Thursday, just five days before a man killed his wife, mother-in-law and stepson.
“We don’t see a history of violence involving these individuals. So, through the investigative efforts thus far, we’re trying to determine why? What led to this particular incident occurring?” Krantz said.
Brittany Young lives in a unit nearby.
“It was just a whole bunch of police cars coming nonstop. They had their guns drawn and they were banging down the door. I mean, it was just like something out of a movie,” Young said.
Another neighbor says she heard the gunshots and the community is heartbroken after learning about the tragedy.
“It is disturbing. My heart goes out to the families,” neighbor David McIntosh said.
While police say there was no history of violence between the victims and suspect, they were told about two unreported incidents of possible domestic violence by witnesses.

Dear Annie: I recently met someone on a business trip at our company’s office in Arizona. I’m located in the Southeast office.
Although we work for the same company, we are not in the same department, so there is no real need for work interaction.
We did seem to hit it off really well during my visit, and I have already reached out with pleasantries such as, “It was nice to meet you” and received a pleasant response.
But where do I go from here? I don’t know if the attraction is mutual or not, but I’d like to get to know him and see if anything can develop.
How can I do this without looking desperate or being intrusive? Any suggestions?
— Lady With a Crush
Dear Lady With a Crush: My suggestion would be to go for it. Reach out to him again and see if he is responsive. You will have a good idea pretty quickly, but you will never know until you try.
Even if it doesn’t work out, it will be OK because you won’t have invested much. But if you fail to reach out, you might regret it for your entire life.

Windward's Maritime AI™ platform is driving digital transformation in the commodity trading industry by mitigating trade and sanctions compliance risk
LONDON, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Windward (LSE: WNWD), the leading Maritime AI™ company, announced today that it has signed agreements with three Swiss commodity trading companies. The companies, involved in the trading of oil and gas, petrochemicals, bulk products, fertilizers, and soft commodities, will use Windward's platform to enhance due diligence and vessel screening processes, and to mitigate trade and sanctions compliance risk.
The ongoing conflict in Ukraine has brought turbulence to the commodity trading industry with sanctions against Russia evolving on a regular basis. New regulations set by the US, EU, and G7 will create even further complications with price caps set on crude oil starting in December 2022 and oil products in February 2023. These regulations identify and list deceptive shipping practices which are being increasingly used by vessels to evade sanctions.
Since the beginning of the conflict, there has been a drastic increase in Russian vessels engaging in dark activity and using ship-to-ship transfers to transport goods including allegedly stolen Ukrainian grain, making it even more difficult for businesses to ascertain legitimate and 'clean-conscious' deals. In light of the new sanctions, all service providers involved in maritime trade ranging from traders to insurers now need a comprehensive awareness of risk related to all entities they do business with.
The three Swiss commodity traders will use Windward's platform to enhance their due diligence and screening processes to mitigate all maritime related risks including sanctions risk, compliance risk, and risk associated with third parties including customers, vendors, employees, contractors, and others. Windward's platform analyzes numerous factors including vessel behaviors, ownership structures, company risks, and others, predicting in real-time which companies and vessels are likely to be high risk, and which are safe to conduct business with.
"No matter where in the world a company trades, it's increasingly becoming more complex and the risks involved are becoming greater," said Ami Daniel, Co-founder and CEO of Windward. "The upcoming cap on Russian oil prices complicates the process even further, adding more risk factors that traders must look out for including new companies in high risk regimes and abnormal patterns. As sanctions continuously evolve and geopolitical tensions turn into real-life trade issues, companies need the help of advanced technology and AI to efficiently monitor, screen, and vet their business partners to successfully mitigate risk."
Windward's Maritime AI™ solution is powered by advanced machine learning and behavioral analytics models, empowering its clients across the government, finance, shipping, energy sectors, and beyond to optimize business practices and efficiently navigate all aspects of maritime risk in real-time.
About Windward
Windward (LSE: WNWD), a publicly traded company on the London Stock Exchange, is the leading Maritime AI™ company, enabling organizations to achieve business and operational readiness. Windward's AI-powered solution allows stakeholders including banks, commodity traders, insurers, and major energy and shipping companies to make real time, predictive intelligence-driven decisions, providing a 360° view of the maritime ecosystem and its broader impact on safety, security, finance, and business.

WASHINGTON, April 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- While drug overdose deaths reached an all-time high in 2021, opioid prescribing by physicians and clinicians dropped significantly in emergency departments that prioritized personalized feedback between peers, according to a new analysis in Annals of Emergency Medicine.
From January 2019 to July 2021, opioid prescribing dropped 35% among physicians and 41% among nurse practitioners and physician assistants, according to the analysis of care teams from one physician group spanning 102 emergency departments in 17 states.
"The impact of peer-to-peer feedback on opioid prescribing was immediate and profound," said Jesse Pines, MD, MBA, FACEP, national director of clinical innovation at US Acute Care Solutions, professor of emergency medicine at Drexel University and the study's senior author. "Emergency physicians are leading efforts to evolve the culture of prescribing. Sometimes, all it takes to bring about meaningful change is a data-driven conversation that details the evidence behind the many non-opioid options that can achieve similar or even better pain control."
The study, "Opioid Prescription Reduction After Implementation of a Feedback Program in a National Subset of Emergency Departments," appearing in the May edition of Annals of Emergency Medicine is the largest known analysis of emergency clinician prescribing interventions to date. The authors assessed the impact of conversations between clinicians and site directors about prescribing rationale and patterns, education on using alternatives to opioids whenever feasible, and the use of a prescription drug management program. Each conversation was personalized and informed by national data gathered by the participating clinicians' staffing group.
Decreases in opioid prescribing were evident across the most common diagnoses, according to the study. Opioid prescribing for injury or poisoning decreased 15% while prescribing for symptoms of illness dropped 25%, as did prescribing for respiratory disease (40%), infection or parasite (54%), blood circulation issues (36%), and endocrine or nutritional issues (28%).
Although emergency departments are not a significant source of opioid prescriptions overall, emergency physicians continue to lead programs that reduce opioid prescribing and can be adapted by other health care professionals.
"This research gives clinicians and administrators a promising model for limiting opioid prescribing in a variety of different ED settings," said the study's lead author Jonathan Oskvarek, MD, MBA, emergency physician and innovation fellow at US Acute Care Solutions. "Emergency physicians are setting a strong example for prescribers by prioritizing alternatives to opioids when appropriate, a choice that goes a long way toward preventing opioid overdoses."
Annals of Emergency Medicine is one of the peer-reviewed scientific journals for the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), the national medical society representing emergency medicine. Annals of Emergency Medicine is the largest and most frequently cited circulation peer-reviewed journal in emergency medicine and publishes original research, clinical reports, opinion, and educational information related to the practice, teaching, and research of emergency medicine.

WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — Ever wondered how many times you’ve blinked since you were born or how many breaths you have taken? Now, there’s a way to know!
Life Stats is a website that will give you a rough estimate of some of the smallest actions that have happened in your life.
Neal Agarwal, a developer with a passion for coding, is the creator of Life Stats and 23 other fun and interactive websites.
Neal said he started making different websites when he would get bored in his college classes.
“Coding was always a means of creative expression for me, and so when lectures started to get dry I would start working on my own projects,” Neal said.
He continued on and explained that a feeling of nostalgia for “old web” is where his motivation to start working on such projects came from.
“I grew up at a time when [Adobe] Flash was dominant and the web was more fun. I’m trying to capture that same feeling in my projects,” Neal said.
Another captivating project Neal created helps visualize how many actions or things are happening around the world every single second of the day. From about how many liters of rainfall to how many hamburgers are sold from McDonald’s, his website will generate the numbers by the second.
If you get lost in time exploring the many works that Neal has created, make sure to check out The Deep Sea, which is his favorite project to date! He said the page is currently being used in schools and museums to teach about the ocean. | https://cw33.com/news/ever-wondered-how-many-times-youve-blinked-since-you-were-born-website-breaks-it-down/ | 2022-07-22T21:19:24Z |

Study Designed to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy with PL8177 Oral Colon Delivery in Adult Subjects with Active Ulcerative Colitis
Oral PL8177 May Provide a Safe and Tolerable Treatment Option for Ulcerative Colitis Patients
CRANBURY, N.J., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Palatin Technologies, Inc. (NYSE American: PTN), a biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on molecules that modulate the activity of the melanocortin receptor system, today announced the initiation of a Phase 2 clinical study of PL8177, a potent melanocortin-1 receptor agonist, in ulcerative colitis (UC). The study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, and biomarkers of orally administered PL8177 in adult patients with active UC. Clinical sites participating in the study have been activated, with screening and recruitment of potential patients underway.
"We are excited to advance oral PL8177, a potent, selective melanocortin-1 receptor agonist, into a Phase 2 clinical trial in patients with UC, an inflammatory bowel disease that affects an estimated one million people in the United States," stated Carl Spana, Ph.D., President and CEO of Palatin. "The melanocortin system plays an important role in the resolution of inflammation. The oral formulation of PL8177 is targeting melanocortin-1 receptors on the luminal surface of colon epithelial cells. In a prior phase 1 clinical study, the oral formulation successfully demonstrated sustained delivery of PL8177 to the lumen of the colon with no systemic exposure. Our goal is to establish PL8177 as a safe and tolerable treatment for patients eliminating or delaying immunosuppressive treatments that have safety and tolerability concerns."
The Phase 2 study is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, adaptive design, parallel group of PL8177, with once daily (QD) oral dosing in adult UC subjects. The study is designed to enroll up to 28 adult subjects with active UC from approximately 22 sites. All subjects who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomized to receive either placebo or oral PL8177.
"The initiation of Palatin's second clinical program evaluating a melanocortin based therapeutic in an inflammatory indication is an exciting milestone. We continue to compile compelling data that strengthens our belief in the potential for melanocortin therapeutics as safe and effective treatments for inflammatory and autoimmune diseases," concluded Spana.
The study uses an adaptive design with an interim assessment by an independent data monitoring committee after the initial 16 subjects have completed the 8-week evaluation visit. The efficacy evaluations and endpoints are in line with the latest FDA Draft Guidance for Industry: Ulcerative Colitis: Developing Drugs for Treatment (April 2022), including the primary efficacy endpoint the Mayo Endoscopic Subscore, which evaluates the level of disease in the colon mucosa.
The PL8177-205 interim assessment is expected to occur in the first quarter of calendar year 2023, with final topline data anticipated in the second quarter of calendar year 2023. Additional trial information, including inclusion and exclusion criteria, can be found at https://clinicaltrials.gov/ via the identifier NCT05466890.
PL8177 is a synthetic cyclic heptapeptide with demonstrated efficacy in multiple animal inflammatory bowel disease models. PL8177 is a potent, selective agonist at the human melanocortin receptor-1 (MC1r), with sub-nanomolar affinity binding and EC50 functional values. Palatin data demonstrates that the oral formulation of PL8177 was protected from degradation in the stomach and small intestine and delivered to the large intestine and colon over an extended period. In addition, orally administered PL8177 had a significant effect on resolving inflammation in a rat bowel inflammation model.
PL8177 in oral formulations has demonstrated repeated, robust efficacy in ulcerative colitis disease models. MC1r is found on epithelial cells and resident macrophages of the colon which are accessible from the lumen of the colon. Orally administered PL8177 is not systemically absorbed. PL8177 has the potential for excellent efficacy without safety concerns.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic disease of the large intestine (colon), with inflammation and ulcerations that can cause significant abdominal pain, persistent diarrhea, loss of appetite and other symptoms. An estimated 1 million individuals in the United States are affected by ulcerative colitis, with over 350,000 diagnosed with moderate-to-severe disease. Existing treatments are not effective in a substantial portion of patients with moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis, with certain severe cases resulting in surgical removal of the colon.
The melanocortin receptor ("MCr") system has effects on inflammation, immune system responses, metabolism, food intake, and sexual function. There are five melanocortin receptors, MC1r through MC5r. Modulation of these receptors, through use of receptor-specific agonists, which activate receptor function, or receptor-specific antagonists, which block receptor function, can have medically significant pharmacological effects.
Many tissues and immune cells located in the eye (and other places, for example the gut and kidney) express melanocortin receptors, empowering our opportunity to directly activate natural pathways to resolve disease inflammation.
Palatin is a biopharmaceutical company developing first-in-class medicines based on molecules that modulate the activity of the melanocortin receptor systems, with targeted, receptor-specific product candidates for the treatment of diseases with significant unmet medical need and commercial potential. Palatin's strategy is to develop products and then form marketing collaborations with industry leaders to maximize their commercial potential.

Gloria Ray Moore
Gloria Ray Moore, loving mother, devoted sister, and loyal friend, passed away at the age of 76 on Monday, June 6, 2022.
The youngest of Thomas and Nodia Ray’s six children, Gloria was born on February 23, 1946 in Academy, Texas. After losing her mother at age 11, Gloria was primarily raised by her older siblings. She was forever grateful for the sacrifices they made to provide for her every need, including sending her to college. Gloria initially attended Temple Junior College where she starred on the basketball team before transferring to Mary Hardin Baylor to complete her undergraduate degree in 1968.
After a few years working in North Texas, a short trip back home led to a chance encounter with her high school boyfriend, Jack Miller Moore. Gloria and Jack married at the county courthouse in Sherman, Texas the following year in December 1971. They spent the first years of their marriage living in Dallas where their eldest son, Josh, was born in 1974. Zack joined the family in 1977 after a move to Belton brought them back to central Texas. Their third son, Jake, was born in the same week of 1979 that they moved into their Temple home. A daughter, Carrie, arrived in 1982 to complete their family. The loving home Gloria and Jack created for their family of six was one of her proudest achievements. It remained a special place to her long after Jack’s passing in 2004, after nearly 33 years of marriage.
An avid collector of both mementos and memories, Gloria was equally excited by a good find at the junk store or by an adventure on a trip abroad. She found joy and solace in life’s quiet moments; reading a book, working in the yard, or aimlessly driving down country backroads. But Gloria was often happiest in the boisterous company of her children and granddaughters. She possessed a quick wit that she often used to devastating effect during a game of cards or at the bowling alley. Spending time in her company was precious to not only her children but also to their friends and significant others. Gathering around the campfire with Gloria for drinks and music was the highlight of fall trips home for many.
Gloria was strong willed and determined almost to a fault, never wanting to ask for help or impose herself on others. She lived her life as she saw fit, and was blessed to maintain her independence until the end. Gloria’s grace and strength of spirit, the way she held her unquestioned place as the head of the family, will forever be missed.
Gloria was preceded in death by her brothers Bill and Donald Ray, her sister Mary Lynn Richards, and her husband, Jack Moore. She is survived by sisters Phyllis Palmer, Karen Ray, and Beverly Northen; her children Josh and Kelly Moore, Zack Moore and Risa Berkower, Jake Moore, and Carrie Moore; and her beloved granddaughters, Evan Moore and Isabella Williamson.
At Gloria’s request there will not be a formal service. The family will host a celebration of her life at the end of the summer. In lieu of flowers, please consider honoring Gloria’s memory with donations made to either St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital or to Shriners Children’s Hospital.

4 people found shot dead in North Dakota wheat field
TOWNER COUNTY, N.D. (KVLY/Gray News) – Four bodies were discovered in a North Dakota wheat field Monday.
The Towner County Sheriff’s Department said deputies were called to the field for a report of unresponsive people.
When deputies arrived, they found four people shot dead. They said they also found a gun on one of the bodies.
Early investigation points to an apparent murder-suicide, the sheriff’s office said.
Family members and neighbors on the scene tell KVLY an argument occurred, and a man shot and killed his brother, his son, and his boss before turning the gun on himself.
Authorities have identified one of the victims as Doug Dulmage. The identities of the three related men will be released later this week.
Friends describe Dulmage as a devoted farmer, an avid hunter, a loving husband and a father of two.
“He was a pillar of the community; it’s a total devastating loss. Everybody loved Doug Dulmage,” said Pat Traynor, a friend of nearly two decades. “Everybody, Doug didn’t have enemies. Everybody loved, loved Doug. Just a tremendous role model for all of us.”
The Towner County Sheriff’s Department and the North Dakota Bureau of Criminal Investigation are working the case.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Biden administration on Thursday slapped sanctions on dozens of Russian and Ukrainian officials and a number of Russian companies for human rights abuses and the theft of Ukrainian grain.
The State Department said it had imposed sanctions on at least 23 officials and 31 Russian government agencies and firms for their roles in supporting Russia’s war in Ukraine. Some, but not all, of those penalized were already subject to U.S. sanctions, which include asset freezes and a ban on Americans conducting business with them.
“Those designated today — from perpetrators of violence to an official facilitating the purposeful removal of children from Ukraine — provide examples of the behavior that has become synonymous with the Government of Russia’s unprovoked war,” Secretary of State Antony Blinken said.
“The United States will continue to take actions against those who support Russia’s defense-industrial base, its violation of human rights, and its attempts to legitimize its occupation of Ukrainian territory, wherever they may be,” he said in a statement.
Among those targeted on Thursday include 17 Russian and Ukrainian officials who were said to be working for, or on behalf of, the Russian government to destabilize Ukraine. Another five people were sanctioned for participating in the alleged theft of Ukrainian grain. Many of them were appointed by Russia to local leadership positions in parts of Russian-occupied Ukraine.
Among the government agencies and companies hit with sanctions were Russia’s Main Intelligence Directorate, or GRU, which has been subject to U.S. penalties since 2016, but has since been accused of running so-called “filtration” camps through which Ukrainians have been forcibly deported.
Other companies include high-tech firms involved in Russia’s space and satellite sectors and computer companies that produce micro-processors and semiconductors used by the Russian armed forces. | https://cw33.com/news/politics/ap-politics/ap-us-hits-more-russians-with-sanctions-over-ukraine/ | 2022-09-16T15:08:58Z |
What do you want people to remember you by?
An ideology, because those can always change? Or through your actions and beliefs? Which can change too.
Pandora’s box has been opened and all most of us have left is hope. The hope to pay the bills, make the world better, raise our children right and maybe hope that the world will become better.
Just know that maybe the lucky few will see a different world than the one they were born into. Hopefully for the better. But in the end all the bickering and righteousness, self-importance means nothing. The next generation will find their way. With or without a indoctrination.
So instead of selfish wants in the now, prepare them for the future. One without us. Without what we grew up with. A world without.
Too much is put on who’s more patriotic than the other. Or one side is the perfect side. There is no perfect. But you can hope that the next after can hope for better just like all parents do. Hope for change, for better inclusion, to get out of tribal tendencies.
Those who try to make you fear something are weak. Powerless. And they know it. Fear and mistrust are the weapons they use. To seed strife amongst the people to keep them blind. The extremists are getting bold to the points of riots in the streets or armed insurrections.
But there at the bottom was always hope. I hope that we can leave the world a little less jacked up than it is now.

Dozens of Native American remains found on University of North Dakota campus
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (KVLY/Gray News) - The University of North Dakota’s President Andrew Armacost said the university found Native American remains in a closet on campus earlier this year.
Armacost said on Wednesday the discovery was made while looking for a missing sacred item on campus. He estimated that there are dozens of remains.
Including other sacred artifacts, the university has found more than 250 boxes with Native American belongings on the university campus, KVLY reported.
“Coming on the heels of other recent revelations about historic wrongs inflicted on Indigenous people in the United States and Canada, members of our tribal communities in the region will undoubtedly be deeply affected by this news from UND. While I cannot take away their pain, I can apologize on behalf of UND for our mistakes,” Armacost said.
He said the school immediately reached out to representatives from area tribes, collaborating with them and seeking advice for more than four months to “... make certain this work is done correctly.” In a recent visit to the campus, tribal leaders blessed spaces where the ancestors and sacred items were stored and found.
Armacost said the response from each tribal representative has been common: “Anger, sadness, acceptance of our apologies and appreciation that we are involving them from the outset of this work.”
They said their goal is to work diligently until all ancestors and sacred objects are returned home, no matter how long it takes. University officials are now working to connect ancestors and artifacts with their places of origin and are hiring experts to help.
Armacost said the sacred items will be returned in a manner consistent with the Native American Grave and Repatriation Act, involving tribal nations, as well as federal and state agencies.
Students on the campus were taken aback at the finding.
“That’s the craziest part is that remains were found. It wasn’t just objects found, and that’s just wild to think about,” said Haiden Huschka, a freshman.
Another freshman, Riley Schreiner added, “We’re just finding out about them now, and you have no clue who that could be or the significance of that person back in their time.”
“I never would have expected it to happen. I’m not Indigenous, but I imagine for those Indigenous folk it’s more unsettling than for others,” stated sophomore Max Taylor.
Some Indigenous faculty and students gathered together to watch the virtual presser. While they declined to comment, the emotion could be felt in the room.
Wednesday’s announcement brought shock, with many sharing hopes that the artifacts and ancestral remains are returned to their respective tribes.
Professor Doug McDonald runs the university’s Indians into Psychology Doctoral Education program, and he and his team are available with counseling services in support of Native American students, faculty and staff. The University Counseling Center is also providing support to students.
The university has launched a repatriation webpage that explains its repatriation process to date. It also includes an email address, UND.inforequest@UND.edu, for repatriation-related questions.
North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum released a statement Wednesday, saying in part: “We are heartbroken by the deeply insensitive treatment of these Indigenous ancestral remains and artifacts and extend our deepest apologies to the sovereign tribal nations in North Dakota and beyond. This dark chapter, while extremely hurtful, also presents an opportunity to enhance our understanding and respect for Indigenous cultures and to become a model for the nation by conducting this process with the utmost deference to the wishes, customs and traditions of tribal nations.”

A 3-year-old boy died Sunday after being left in a hot car for nearly three hours in southern Georgia, a coroner's office said, bringing the number of recorded heat-related deaths of children in a vehicle this year to at least six.
At least three such deaths have happened in June, according to the National Safety Council, as temperatures have soared with summer's arrival and parts of the country have endured harsh heat waves. And the tally may be greater: It does not count Tuesday's accidental death of an 18-month-old boy in Virginia who'd been left in a car -- a case in which the cause has not yet been released.
On average, 38 children younger than 15 die from heatstroke each year after being left in a car, the council says.
In the Georgia case, the boy, Kendrick Engram Jr., had arrived home in an SUV in Columbus with his grandmother and other children around 5:30 p.m. Sunday, following an afternoon of attending church and running errands, according to a Muscogee County Coroner's Office report on the child's death.
The grandmother told investigators she believed all the children got out of her SUV when they made it home, the coroner's report reads, and she then went to her bedroom. Kendrick's mother was at work at the time and had met with the group at a nearby Walmart earlier during her lunch break, the report said.
Nearly three hours later at around 8:15 p.m., Kendrick's uncle used the SUV to drive to a Wendy's restaurant and was unaware the boy was in the back seat, according to the report. He parked the vehicle and went inside, where he later got a phone call from Kendrick's grandmother asking if he had seen him.
The uncle found Kendrick in the car with "foam and blood coming from his mouth" and called for emergency medical assistance, which arrived two minutes after the call, the report said.
Kendrick was described as "extremely hot to the touch" at the scene, the report said, and showed no signs of life.
The preliminary cause of death is asphyxiation, Muscogee County Coroner Buddy Bryan told CNN. Temperatures Sunday in the Columbus area reached as high as 96 degrees Fahrenheit, according to the National Weather Service.
Due to the circumstances of the child's death, his body would be sent to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation for an autopsy, the coroner's office said. Autopsy results may take up to five months to complete, Bryan said.
CNN has reached out to the Columbus Police Department.
Toddler left in a car died, police said
In the Virginia case, an 18-month-old boy died after he was accidentally left in an unattended vehicle for several hours, Chesterfield County police said Tuesday. Police did not specify his cause of death, but the high temperature in Midlothian, about 20 miles west of Richmond, was around 81 degrees Fahrenheit that day.
And last week in Texas, a 5-year-old died after he was left inside a car outside the family's Houston home. Meanwhile, four children were among 16 people rushed to San Antonio-area hospitals after they were found Monday in a sweltering semitruck packed with migrants in which 51 people died; the ages of those who perished have not been released yet.
The majority of pediatric hot-car deaths occur because the child is forgotten by a caregiver, according to data compiled by Jan Null, a lecturer at San Jose State University's Department of Meteorology and Climate Science.
While the hottest months see the most deaths, hot-car deaths in children are a persistent problem across all months, and almost every state has reported an incident since 1998, according to the data.
The tragedies often draw national attention, as well sometimes as criminal repercussions. However, Georgia's highest court this month overturned the murder conviction of a father sentenced to life without parole for the 2014 hot-car death of his 22-month-old son.
The Georgia Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that evidence submitted by prosecutors of Justin Ross Harris' extramarital sexual relationships -- which the state portrayed as the motivation behind his decision to kill his son, Cooper -- had unfair prejudicial impact on the jury.
Defense attorneys had argued Cooper's death was a tragic accident caused by his father's lapse in memory.

Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons if actual results differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Key Metrics
To supplement our consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP, we use certain non-GAAP financial measures, as described below, to understand and evaluate our core operating performance. These non-GAAP financial measures, which may be different than similarly-titled measures used by other companies, are presented to enhance investors' overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP.
We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about our financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of our past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to important metrics used by our management for financial and operational decision-making. We present these non-GAAP measures to assist investors in seeing our financial performance using a management view, and because we believe that these measures provide an additional tool for investors to use in comparing our core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in our industry. However, these non-GAAP measures are not intended to be considered in isolation from, a substitute for, or superior to our GAAP results.
Non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP gross margin, non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP operating margin, non-GAAP net income and non-GAAP net income per share: We define these non-GAAP financial measures as the respective GAAP measures, excluding expenses related to stock-based compensation, employer payroll tax on employee stock transactions, amortization of acquisition-related intangibles, amortization of debt discount and issuance costs, fair value adjustments to strategic investments, and, as applicable, other special items. The amount of employer payroll tax-related items on employee stock transactions is dependent on our stock price and other factors that are beyond our control and do not correlate to the operation of the business. When evaluating the performance of our business and making operating plans, we do not consider these items (for example, when considering the impact of equity award grants, we place a greater emphasis on overall stockholder dilution rather than the accounting charges associated with such grants). We believe it is useful to exclude these expenses in order to better understand the long-term performance of our core business and to facilitate comparison of our results to those of peer companies and over multiple periods. In addition to these exclusions, we subtract an assumed provision for income taxes to calculate non-GAAP net income. We utilize a fixed long-term projected tax rate in our computation of the non-GAAP income tax provision to provide better consistency across the reporting periods. For fiscal 2023, we determined the projected non-GAAP tax rate to be 20% tax rate.
Free cash flow: We define free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. We believe free cash flow is an important liquidity measure of the cash that is available (if any), after purchases of property and equipment, for operational expenses, investment in our business, and to make acquisitions. Free cash flow is useful to investors as a liquidity measure because it measures our ability to generate or use cash in excess of our capital investments in property and equipment. Once our business needs and obligations are met, cash can be used to maintain a strong balance sheet and invest in future growth.
Billings: We define billings as total revenues plus the change in our contract liabilities and refund liability less contract assets and unbilled accounts receivable in a given period. Billings reflects sales to new customers plus subscription renewals and additional sales to existing customers. Only amounts invoiced to a customer in a given period are included in billings. We believe billings is a key metric to measure our periodic performance. Given that most of our customers pay in annual installments one year in advance, but we typically recognize a majority of the related revenue ratably over time, we use billings to measure and monitor our ability to provide our business with the working capital generated by upfront payments from our customers.
For a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below.

Ashley Biden tests positive for COVID-19, sources say
(Gray News) - First daughter Ashley Biden has tested positive for COVID-19 and will no longer be traveling with the first lady to Central and South America, media sources say.
She was scheduled to depart for Ecuador Wednesday.
The first daughter is not considered a close contact to the president and first lady, the first lady’s press secretary, Michael LaRosa, told CNN.
Ashley Biden was supposed to have gone with first lady Dr. Jill Biden on an earlier trip to Europe, but she had to cancel when she was exposed to COVID-19 by a close contact.
The first daughter is the latest person in President Joe Biden’s circle to test positive. Both Vice President Kamala Harris and her husband tested positive and have since recovered.

Tony Siragusa, the charismatic defensive tackle who was part of one of the most celebrated defenses in NFL history with the Baltimore Ravens, died Wednesday. He was 55.
Siragusa’s broadcast agent, Jim Ornstein, confirmed the death. The cause of death was not immediately available.
“This is a really sad day,” he said. “Tony was way more than my client, he was family. My heart goes out to Tony’s loved ones.”
Siragusa, known as “Goose,” played seven seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and five with the Ravens. Baltimore’s 2000 team won the Super Bowl behind a stout defense that included Siragusa, Ray Lewis and Sam Adams.
Siragusa was popular with fans because of his fun-loving attitude, which also helped him transition quickly to broadcasting after his playing career.
“There was no one like Goose — a warrior on the field and a team unifier with a giving, generous heart who helped teammates and the community more than most people know,” said Brian Billick, the coach of that 2000 team. “We would not have won the Super Bowl without him. This is such stunning, sad news.”
Siragusa came to Baltimore as a free agent in 1997 and teamed up with Adams to form an imposing defensive tackle tandem. He finished his career with 22 sacks.
“I love Goose like a brother. From the first day we met, I knew that life was different. I knew he was someone who would change my life forever,” Lewis said. “He was a one-of-a-kind person who made you feel important and special. You can never replace a man like that.”
The news of Siragusa’s death came on what was already a tragic day for the Ravens. The death of Jaylon Ferguson, a linebacker for Baltimore, at age 26 was announced earlier in the day.
“This is a tremendously sad day for the Baltimore Ravens,” owner Steve Bisciotti said. “We appreciate everyone who has expressed an outpouring of support for our players, coaches and staff.”
Siragusa was a star football player and wrestler at David Brearley High School in New Jersey. He then played collegiately at Pittsburgh, where he had a reputation for wisecracks well before his NFL career.
“If I wanted to learn a school song, I would’ve gone to Notre Dame or Penn State,” he once said. “I want to kill people on the football field. That’s why I came to Pitt.”
Siragusa went undrafted before signing with Indianapolis, but he turned out to be a championship-winning force in the NFL. Then he took his personality to the airwaves, working for Fox’s NFL coverage.
“His incomparable passion for football established him as one of the most charismatic personalities ever to set foot on the gridiron or in front of a camera,” Fox Sports said in a statement. “Goose was a natural in his ability to relate the sport and its players to fans everywhere.”
Siragusa also had a role on HBO’s “The Sopranos” and hosted shows on the Discovery Channel and DIY Network.
“Tony truly was bigger than life, on and off the field,” said Pat Narduzzi, Pitt’s current football coach. “He played the game passionately and relentlessly. Despite not being drafted, he thrived in the NFL for 12 years. His post-football life took him so many places but he never forgot Pitt. We could always count on him to send the best recorded pep talks to our guys before our biggest games.”

NEW YORK, May 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Versor Investments, a quantitative investment management firm focused on alternative investment strategies, announced today the release of a newly published white paper titled "Has Trend Gone Flat? Return Convexity in Trend Following." The paper is co-authored by Versor Founding Partners Deepak Gurnani and Ludger Hentschel who have over 50 years of combined experience in quantitative investing and research.
Investors looking for positive convexity and positive returns during volatile times were previously attracted to "trend-following" or CTA hedge funds. Versor's new paper documents that, over time, these funds have lost some of both of their appealing characteristics - an unusual and attractive combination of high average returns and positive convexity. An investment strategy provides positive convexity if it provides strong downside protection in deep market drawdowns, as well as some gains in up markets.
This change in the performance of CTAs is in large part due to portfolio construction that favors longer-term trend following signals, which continue to lose return convexity. The Versor paper shows how to enhance the performance characteristics of trend-following portfolios with newer signals not based on past trends, and demonstrates that such portfolios have been able to improve upon the positive return convexity previously associated with CTA strategies.
Among the paper's key findings are:
- Relying on long-term trend signals in the most liquid asset classes, like equities and fixed income, is likely to lead to investor disappointment during periods of weak equity markets. Yet, those appear to be the most important signals for the very large CTA funds that make up the SG Trend index.
- While it is generally accepted that CTA hedge fund returns are driven by trend-following strategies, many investors underestimate how central these strategies are to CTA funds. More than 90 percent of return variation for CTA funds can be explained by a blend of short, medium, and long-term trend-following signals.
- CTA strategies striving for positive convexity must allocate material risk to shorter-term trend signals and non-trend signals.
"The largest CTA hedge funds in the world are using trend signals that have lost some of their positive convexity over time. In order to continue generating attractive risk-adjusted returns in the future, such funds will need to construct their portfolios to combine trend-following signals with effective non-trend signals. Our paper demonstrates many such avenues funds can take to produce superior returns and convexity with newer, shorter-term trading signals to enhance a traditional trend-following portfolio," said Mr. Gurnani. He further added, "While some have interpreted the positive performance of trend-following strategies in 2021 and 2022 as a revival of trend-following strategies, we caution that this performance likely was driven by material exposures to the least convex strategy components, which had exceptionally good performance in 2021 and 2022."
Versor Investments, well known for quantitative research, has published over 30 white papers available to investors via the Athenaeum library section of its website. Topics range from tactical asset allocation to enhancing hedge fund portfolio returns. The Convexity paper is available here.

Buffalo shooting suspect expected in court for felony hearing today
By Eric Levenson, CNN
The 18-year-old White man suspected of carrying out a racist mass shooting Saturday in a Buffalo, New York, supermarket is expected to appear in court Thursday morning for a felony hearing that could provide new details on the massacre.
Payton S. Gendron is accused of driving nearly 200 miles to kill 10 people and wound three others in a shooting that took aim at a community hub in a predominantly Black neighborhood. He has pleaded not guilty to a charge of first-degree murder, officials said, and other charges are expected.
In court Thursday, a judge is expected to determine whether there’s sufficient evidence to continue jailing him on that charge. The judge is also to hear from the defense and prosecutors, who may present new evidence.
Authorities are investigating the shooting as a hate crime and an act of racially motivated violent extremism. Of the 13 victims shot, 11 were Black.
In online posts by Gendron on the chat app Discord and in a 180-page document investigators believe he wrote, he described himself as a White supremacist, fascist and anti-Semite. He wrote he targeted the Buffalo supermarket because it had the highest concentration of Black people in upstate New York and said he subscribed to “replacement theory,” a conspiracy theory that claims a cabal of elites are trying to replace White people with non-White immigrants.
The suspect’s social media posts have become central to the investigation because they offer details about how he planned his attack and his motives.
In posts first shared on Discord, then more widely on the hate-filled online forum 4Chan, Gendron said he visited the grocery store multiple times on March 8 to learn its layout. He noted how many Black and White people shopped during his visits and drew a map of the store’s interior, according to his posts.
The suspect also livestreamed the shooting on the website Twitch. The company said it took down the video within minutes, but social media companies were struggling to contain its spread.
Officials digging into red flag laws, social media sites
While the suspect is behind bars, New York officials have called for further examination of how he was able to get guns and how he communicated his plans online.
In June, Gendron showed a warning sign of potential violence when he made a school project about murder-suicides when he was a student at Susquehanna Valley Central High School in Conklin, New York, officials said.
Police were called to the school, and he was taken for a mental health evaluation and later released. At the time, police didn’t seek a “red flag” order of protection against Gendron.
The red flag law, also known as the Extreme Risk Protection Order law, is designed to prevent anyone who shows signs of being a threat to themselves or others from purchasing a firearm, New York’s website states.
But because the evaluation was not an involuntary commitment, it did not prevent the suspected shooter from purchasing or possessing a gun under federal law, said New York State Police spokesperson Beau Duffy.
Since the shooting, Gov. Kathy Hochul has proposed a gun laws package, as well as other changes to law enforcement protocol when a person shows they may be harmful to themselves or others.
On Wednesday, Hochul said she would sign an executive order requiring state police to file an “extreme risk order of protection” under the red flag law when they believe that an individual is a threat to himself, herself or others.
The gun laws package would aim to close loopholes around specific types of guns that fall outside current regulations, including high-powered, concealable guns and those that can be modified to hold high-capacity magazines, she said.
The proposed legislation would remedy “just one of those enormous loopholes that you can drive a truck through,” she said.
In addition, New York Attorney General Letitia James launched an investigation into the social media platforms allegedly used by the suspect.
The probe, disclosed Wednesday by James’ office, focuses on Twitch, Discord and the websites 4chan and 8chan (now known as 8kun). Other as yet unnamed companies could also be drawn into the investigation, James said.
The investigation is expected to focus on companies that “the Buffalo shooter used to plan, promote, and stream his terror attack,” James announced in a tweet.

Truitt House, located in downtown Suffolk's Historic District just off Main Street, goes to the auction block Friday August 19 at 11 am.
NAPLES, Fla., Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ELITE AUCTIONS, a leader in luxury real estate auctions and marketing, announced the latest addition to its lineup of luxury residential, commercial, and undeveloped real estate listings selling at auction without reserve.
Going to the auction block August 19 is the Truitt House, an 8,500 sq-ft mansion built in 1909 for wealthy lumber businessman George W. Truitt and restored over a decade ago by its current owner who recently converted it into a bed and breakfast.
In the late eighties, 204 Bank St was registered as a Historic Site on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places.
The residence was recently listed at $1.2 million according to publicly-accessible real estate data sources.
Some of the more notable features of the home include its nine fireplaces, four of which are marble, a large ballroom on the third floor that was converted into a massive owner's suite, an octagonal study, crystal chandeliers, an upstairs musician's mezzanine, and a butler's pantry that boasts 200+ year-old cypress countertops.
The mansion's over-built, bank-like construction was a rarity among private residences of the time and make it unique among others in Suffolk's Historic District: Steel beams in the basement and elsewhere, along with walls of brick, four bricks thick.
Commenting on the announcement, Randy Haddaway, founder and CEO of Elite Auctions said, "This incredible home is known to the people of Suffolk and to people that come to stay here at the bed-and-breakfast from far and wide as a very special place. It was built for a special person, one of the town's first millionaires, in fact, and it was built to withstand just about anything life could throw at it."
Tara McLean, Elite's president and project manager for the upcoming auction says the massive estate was clearly built to make and to leave a lasting impression on everyone who sees it.
"And the home still does that today, and it will continue to do so long into the future. The Truitt House deserves the place of prominence it has occupied for more than a century, both geographically speaking, as well as in the hearts and minds of the people of Suffolk."
Truitt House, at 204 Bank St, is available for public and private tours weekends from 1 pm until 4 pm beginning Saturday, August 6 through Sunday, August 14. To pre-register to bid, or to schedule a tour, call 844-94-ELITE or email bid@eliteauctions.com.
The auction will be held on-site at the property, Friday, August 19, 2022, at 11 am EDT, with registration beginning at 9 am. Remote bids will be accepted by phone. Broker participation is encouraged.
ELITE AUCTIONS has marketed more than $2 billion of high-value property and luxury yachts for auction with no reserve, accelerating the sale of more than $450 million in luxury assets. Its luxury home auction team is dedicated to helping sellers achieve the best value for their property and secure a sale quickly.
