The specialized resource offers patients with rare mutations or fusions in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their caregivers access to treatment information, informative webinars, the latest scientific news, and a supportive community
WASHINGTON, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- LUNGevity Foundation, the nation's leading lung cancer-focused nonprofit organization, has launched the Rare Mutations and Fusions Lung Cancer Patient Gateway. This new resource joins a suite of Patient Gateways for lung cancer survivors that present relevant information tailored to their specific subtype. The Rare Mutations and Fusions Patient Gateway will allow survivors with non-small cell lung cancer who have gene mutations or fusions such as ROS1, MET, RET, NTRK, BRAF, and others to locate specialists and resources more easily. The Patient Gateway also features information on treatment options and the ability to connect with a community of fellow survivors and their caregivers.
Targeted therapies exist for nine DNA-based alterations, or biomarkers, in non-small cell lung cancer. Of those nine mutations, ROS1, MET, RET, NTRK, and BRAF are considered rare, with an occurrence rate of 4% or less in patients with NSCLC. "Thanks to research in non-small cell lung cancer, more biomarkers and targeted therapies to treat them have been discovered," said Amy Moore, PhD, vice president, global engagement and patient partnerships at LUNGevity Foundation. "You often hear about the more common NSCLC biomarkers, such as ALK, EGFR, or KRAS. Our Rare Mutations and Fusions Lung Cancer Patient Gateway caters to patients living with cancer driven by lesser-known mutations. It is important to give these patients and their caregivers a dedicated space to learn about treatment options and access information related to their specific cancer type."
The Rare Mutations and Fusions Patient Gateway is a user-friendly and easily accessible information portal that offers the latest medical updates and practical resources for patients and their caregivers. The Gateway, available at rare-mutations.lungevity.org, provides visitors with information about biomarker testing and the targeted therapies available for each mutation type. Visitors can also find a specialist based on individualized search criteria, join a variety of patient and caregiver communities, explore clinical trial options, and read up-to-the-minute, curated news and trends. Each individual Gateway features expert webinars and blogs, patient and caregiver stories, and quarterly newsletters.
The Rare Mutations and Fusions Patient Gateway joins the EGFR, KRAS, ALK, and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) platforms on gateway.lungevity.org. A Gateway dedicated to small cell lung cancer is launching later this year.
The Rare Mutations and Fusions Patient Gateway is supported by a generous sponsorship from AstraZeneca, Bayer Healthcare, Blueprint, Janssen, Lilly, Novartis, and Takeda Oncology.
LUNGevity Foundation is the nation's leading lung cancer organization focused on improving outcomes for people with lung cancer through research, education, policy initiatives, and support and engagement for patients, survivors, and caregivers. LUNGevity seeks to make an immediate impact on quality of life and survivorship for everyone touched by the disease—while promoting health equity by addressing disparities throughout the care continuum. LUNGevity works tirelessly to advance research into early detection and more effective treatments, provide information and educational tools to empower patients and their caregivers, promote impactful public policy initiatives, and amplify the patient voice through research and engagement. The organization provides an active community for patients and survivors—and those who help them live better and longer lives.
Comprehensive resources include a medically vetted and patient-centric website, a toll-free HELPLine for support, the International Lung Cancer Survivorship Conference, and an easy-to-use Clinical Trial Finder, among other tools. All of these programs are to achieve our vision—a world where no one dies of lung cancer. LUNGevity Foundation is proud to be a four-star Charity Navigator organization.
About Lung Cancer in the US
- About 1 in 17 Americans will be diagnosed with lung cancer in their lifetime.
- More than 236,000 people in the US will be diagnosed with lung cancer this year.
- About 60%-65% of all new lung cancer diagnoses are among people who have never smoked or are former smokers.
- Lung cancer takes more lives in the United States than the next two deadliest cancers (colorectal and pancreatic) combined.
- Only about 23% of all people diagnosed with lung cancer in the United States will survive 5 years or more, BUT if it is caught before it spreads, the chance of 5-year survival improves dramatically.

BERLIN (AP) — Negotiations between scientists and governments over a key United Nations climate report were going down to the wire Sunday, as officials from major emerging economies insisted that it should recognize their right to development.
The latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a U.N.-backed science body, is meant to show the paths by which the world can stay within the temperature limits agreed in the 2015 Paris accord.
The agreement aims to cap global warming at 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 Fahrenheit) this century. But with temperatures already more than 1.1C higher than the pre-industrial baseline, many experts say that’s only possible with drastic cuts to greenhouse gas emissions.
The closed-doors meeting was meant to wrap up Friday so that the report could be presented to the public on Monday.
But several observers, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because of the confidential nature of the proceedings, told The Associated Press that the talks were still far from finished with less than 24 hours to go before the publication deadline.
One senior climate scientist said about 70% of the text had so far been agreed and there was still hope the negotiations might finish Sunday.
India has emerged as a key voice pushing for recognition in the report that developing countries have contributed a far smaller share of the carbon dioxide emissions already in the atmosphere than industrialized nations and should therefore not need to make the same steep cuts. India, which remains heavily dependent on coal, also wants poor countries to receive significantly more financial support to cope with climate change and make the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Others, such as oil exporter Saudi Arabia, argue that fossil fuels will still be needed for decades to come and phasing them out too quickly could hurt the world’s poorest.
The text being negotiated is a summary for policymakers that will serve as the basis for government talks at international climate meetings such as the upcoming U.N. summit in Egypt this fall. The underlying science report outlining the world’s progress in cutting emissions is not subject to negotiation, but it cannot be published until the summary is agreed.
A previous instalment last year warned that there is no doubt the rapid climate change seen in recent decades is caused by humans and some effects of global warming are already inevitable. Last month, the science panel outlined how further temperature increases will multiply the risk of floods, storms, drought and heat waves worldwide.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tamika Farr, CEO of Pathways LA issued the following statement on The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022
Upon review of the Inflation Reduction Act, I support the transformative investment in environmental protection and healthcare measures that the latest reconciliation package outlines. The Inflation Reduction Act allocates nearly $400 billion in transformational climate change proposals that will help reduce carbon emissions by approximately 40% by 2030 and includes enhancements in healthcare subsidies to the most vulnerable in our community. By any measure, the Inflation Reduction Act represents the most ambitious action taken by the federal government to combat climate change and mitigates the exorbitant cost of healthcare access. I applaud the monumental impact that these measures aim to achieve.
However, I am disheartened that our federal leaders have neglected to support child care providers and the millions of young children for whom they care for. Over the past 18 months, Congress and President Biden have deliberated on several iterations of a reconciliation package that promised to address the fractured child care sector and aid the countless families on the brink of poverty. Although Congress passed a Child Tax Credit provision in the American Rescue Plan ACT (ARPA) - a measure that temporarily lifted millions of children out of poverty – child care was omitted in this legislation by a handful of Congressional votes. As a result, a path forward - to build on similar regulations to support families and early care educators who cannot keep up with rampant inflation and the high prices for basic necessities - was obstructed. Despite the shortcomings on Early Childhood Education (ECE) policies, I commend President Biden and the supporting members of Congress for their unwavering convictions to support legislation that will help tackle our nation's most intractable economic challenges and position the country to lead in critical global policy initiatives.
Put simply, the ECE field faces a precarious fate without proper investments to help mitigate a ruptured infrastructure caused by decades of flawed policy-making across all sectors of government. Providers are indispensable to our nation's economy at large and to the families they provide care for; therefore, it's time all our leaders recognized them by implementing substantive investments for the ECE sector.
To this end, legislation akin to the ARPA bill is what the ECE sector and families across the country need. ARPA ensured that all children received adequate funds for day-to-day expenses and established child care stabilization grants. The Biden administration delivered key initiatives that benefited all American families and invested in the child care sector which is essential for a thriving U.S. economy. I'm hopeful the President will continue to prioritize these measures and ensure quality child care for all children and secure livable wages for all ECE workers.
I look forward to seeing subsequent proposals from Congress and the Biden Administration.

NEW YORK, July 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Pomerantz LLP is investigating claims on behalf of investors of HUMBL, Inc. ("HUMBL" or the "Company") (OTCMKTS: HMBL). Such investors are advised to contact Robert S. Willoughby at newaction@pomlaw.com or 888-476-6529, ext. 7980.
The investigation concerns whether HUMBL and certain of its officers and/or directors have engaged in securities fraud or other unlawful business practices.
HUMBL began trading publicly on November 12, 2020, after a reverse merger with Tesoro Enterprises, Inc. HUMBL failed to disclose that the HUMBL Pay App did not have the basic functionality promised to investors and that several of the Company's hyped international business partnerships had a very low chance of contributing material revenues to the Company's bottom line. The Company also sold a series of highly speculative unregistered securities called BLOCK Exchange Traded Index ("ETX") products. These products purported to "simplify digital asset investing" for customers seeking exposure to cryptocurrency investments. In reality, these were unregistered securities that were collateralized by a variety of highly speculative and risky digital assets. On April 25, 2022, the price of HUMBL common stock hit a low of $0.11 per share, down from a price high of $6.84 during the Class Period. Likewise, the price of BLOCK ETX has dropped over 87% from its height during the Class Period and has not recovered.
Pomerantz LLP, with offices in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Paris, and Tel Aviv, is acknowledged as one of the premier firms in the areas of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation. Founded by the late Abraham L. Pomerantz, known as the dean of the class action bar, Pomerantz pioneered the field of securities class actions. Today, more than 85 years later, Pomerantz continues in the tradition he established, fighting for the rights of the victims of securities fraud, breaches of fiduciary duty, and corporate misconduct. The Firm has recovered numerous multimillion-dollar damages awards on behalf of class members. See www.pomlaw.com

New sell-side offering fundamentally improves the way first-party addressable audience data is segmented, controlled, and transacted by publishers to lift eCPMs and programmatic sales results
NEW YORK, Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- ArcSpan Technologies (www.arcspan.com), a New York-based, real-time audience data monetization and optimization company announced the launch of ArcSpan's Contextual APP™ (referring to the integrated data functions "Analyze", "Process" and "Push"), a new solution within ArcSpan's Audience Engine™ platform that significantly empowers publishers to structure and monetize their contextual first-party audience data. Contextual APP provides an efficient, consumer privacy-forward data processing solution that offers leading publishers greater data control, insights, and access to monetization pathways. Different from legacy providers, this advanced contextual solution incorporates text, image, and video components.
ArcSpan's next-gen audience monetization platform, Audience Engine strengthens publishers' and retailers' media revenue strategies as the digital advertising industry transitions away from the use of third-party cookies. Through ArcSpan's suite of audience data solutions, publishers can better organize, segment, scale, transact and optimize their media sales initiatives and achieve greater alignment with buy-side demand and other tech partners. ArcSpan's data science incorporates deterministic signals and artificial intelligence to improve publishers' abilities to define their audiences and deliver higher-value, targeted ad impressions in real-time across multiple data taxonomies. ArcSpan works across desktop, video, and mobile programmatic channels with additional support for CTV and other digital channels in development.
"I have used ArcSpan's Contextual APP on my owned and operated site, Sportsnaut, and it proves there is opportunity for classification and taxonomy for specific content across the web," said Jeff Misenti, Co-founder of The Publisher Desk. "As someone who manages multiple websites with vastly different content, I am always looking for automated technology to make things easier for publishers. ArcSpan is arming publishers with the right tools to bring robust contextual data insights and transparent trusted activation to better position their clients for growth."
"We're receiving positive feedback for Contextual APP because it offers more integrated, transparent and scalable data solutions and controls purely focused on driving revenue and ROI for the sell-side," said Chris Guenther, ArcSpan COO and former global head of programmatic at NewsCorp. "Publishers know their content and audience engagement levels the best. Contextual APP enables greater first-party data visibility, quality segmentation, quantifiable results and actionable sales insights gleaned from that content, which addresses significant publisher pain points with programmatic media."
According to Guenther, the three core operating components of Contextual APP include:
a. Data Analyze: ArcSpan's proprietary and integrated data measurement and sales lift benchmarking tools assess opportunities to increase the quality and quantity of a publisher's addressable audience data set
b. Data Process: ArcSpan's real-time data processor configures publisher contextual data according to IAB and other industry contextual data taxonomies. ArcSpan's processor complements a publisher's existing ad server, DMP and CDP partners
c. Data Push: ArcSpan enables delivery and tracking of data sales across multiple transaction pathways, including Prebid, SSP and DSP revenue operations to optimize across channels and evolving demand sources
ArcSpan's enhanced system design is based on the company's deep programmatic expertise gained working across rapidly changing sell-side, buy-side and adtech platform solutions over the past ten-plus years. This announcement marks an important advancement for publishers to start monetizing underutilized first-party data directly with buyers in the programmatic environment. Through Contextual APP, programmatic sellers can better align with buyers seeking access to trusted, unique, and scalable targeted audience segments.
Garret Vreeland, CCO and co-founder said, "We're addressing two major challenges for publishers. First, we are helping to boost the value of sometimes 70%-80% of a publisher's audience data that is sub optimally organized and being sold at eCPMs lower than they deserve. Second, we understand many publishers are concerned about their current 2022 sales outlook and need to unlock better tactics to improve their Q3 and Q4 sales potential. ArcSpan's Contextual APP is well-positioned to deliver incremental sales quickly for a light lift."
"The overall ArcSpan Audience Engine™ Platform approach represents a series of coordinated enhancements to make first-party audience data selling more automated, integrated and scalable for publisher revenue teams. We look to generate an estimated 30% to over 100% lift in addressable audience data sales for publishers in a dynamic market environment," said Art Muldoon, CEO and co-founder. "ArcSpan serves as a trusted partner to help publishers quickly retool and deliver first-party, cookieless addressable audiences that is both cost effective and tech agnostic."
ArcSpan Technologies is an exciting first-party data monetization company that is building a best-in-class addressable audience segmentation and revenue optimization platform for leading digital publishers and retail brands to navigate the "Identity Revolution." As publishers seek to adapt to a first-party addressable audience marketplace, ArcSpan's Audience Engine boosts customer revenue by enhancing the quality and quantity of real-time targetable audiences while tracking and optimizing to sales KPIs across digital channels. ArcSpan's enterprise technology product suite and data solutions drive on-site and off-site monetization success.
Established by digital industry leaders from Accordant Media, dentsu, NewsCorp, and Beeswax, ArcSpan prioritizes consumer data privacy and fosters industry transparency. The company is headquartered in New York City. www.arcspan.com

Britney Spears shared a birthday message for her estranged sons.
On Tuesday, Spears posted photos of her with her sons on her verified Instagram account.
"Happy birthday Preston and Jayden!!!," the caption read. "Love you both so much!!! These photos are from last year!!!"
Sean and Jayden turned 17 and 16 this week. She shares them with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline.
The posting came days after Spears shared a now-deleted series of audio files in which she talked about their estrangement.
"All I know is my love for my children is more than anything, and I'm sorry if I hurt you guys in any way," Spears said in the recording.
Earlier this month she posted an open letter to her children after Federline and Jayden gave an interview for a British ITV documentary.
The youngster said he and his brother had chosen not to see their mother for the past few months.
"I love you a lot," Jayden Federline said of his mother. "I hope for the best for you. Maybe one day we can sit down like this and talk again."

Why don’t you be like me? Why don’t you hate who I hate, kill who I kill to be free?
— The Monkees
I had a flashback the other day when I read a squawk sent by one of this newspaper’s readers inviting me to leave here for California because I don’t think like the squawker.
(Said squawker, by the way, offered to kick in on the cost of my travel. ... I’ll do a little checking on ticket prices and get back with you on that. All contributions will be gratefully accepted.)
The flashback that this kind offer dredged up was one from decades ago, when I was in my early days as Sports Editor of The Daily Tifton Gazette.
I was not, at that time, much of a college football fan. I’d watch the rare weekend highlight shows when they ran just to see the big plays from the previous week’s games, but that was about it. I knew very little — almost nothing, actually — about the NCAA, its mythical national championship, the SEC or the history of the University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, Auburn, Alabama ...
(I should explain: We were a family of sports fans, but TV in rural Irwin County at that time was one channel only, so there were no weekly games to watch since that one channel did not broadcast college games. Also, since neither of my parents even finished high school, college loyalty was nonexistent.)
Anyway, while working at the Tifton paper, I was doing some weekend work around our house (oh, for days off!) one fall Saturday. I knew by that time that the Georgia vs. Auburn game was a pretty big deal in the chase for SEC and NCAA bragging rights, so I turned on the radio to listen to the broadcast. What I didn’t know at that time was how much of a big deal UGA broadcaster Larry Munson was.
As a matter of fact, I’d never heard of him.
As the game started winding down toward what would be an exciting conclusion, Munson became apoplectic as, I would learn, was his style.
I’ll never forget his words — and my dumbfounded reaction to them — as he declared things like, “The whole conference is down on their knees praying against the Dawgs.”
Frankly, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, so I wrote a column about it, offering my honest opinion that Munson was maybe just a little bit crazy. The sh--storm that followed was one of the largest I’ve ever been a part of.
Danny Carter was editor of The Gazette at that time, and he fielded most of the calls from outraged Georgia fans. Thankfully Carter — who is a big UGA fan, I should note — didn’t give in to the dozens of calls insisting that my head be served up on a platter.
I got my share of calls from outraged fans, too, but that wasn’t all. I came into my office to find, on different days, Larry Munson posters tacked to my door, a Munson T-shirt (in my size, which I wore proudly until it got too holey even for me), and news articles from other publications singing the praises of the UGA broadcaster.
In all honesty, I was stunned by the reaction.
But the coolest thing I got in the aftermath of the Munson column was an actual, honest-to-God one-way bus ticket to Lake City, Fla. — “the first stop outside the state of Georgia,” a note attached to the gift said. And my would-be benefactors were serious; this was a real ticket. (I know this because I cashed it in ... got $34 for it, a windfall for me at that time. It bought my gas for the next couple of months.)
I bring that long-ago bit of personal history up for a couple of reasons. 1) If you’re serious about chipping in on that fund to get rid of me, come real. Show me the money. I’m not going to uproot my life on the word of someone who can’t abide anyone with the nerve to have thoughts counter to their own. Makes me a little wary. You can send me your donation — cash, cashier’s check or money order only — in care of this newspaper.
Secondly, you’re not alone, Squawker, in your disdain, so I’m not singling you out. There are a lot of folks who seem to think having an opinion contrary to theirs is a sin. But I got to thinking that if my having an opinion that you didn’t agree with is so odious, maybe you should take your ass to a more pleasing locale. May I suggest applying for a job at Mar-a-Lago?

More than 1,000 people killed after magnitude 5.9 earthquake hits eastern Afghanistan
Afghanistan was rocked by its deadliest earthquake in decades on Wednesday when a magnitude 5.9 earthquake struck the country’s east, killing more than 1,000 people and wounding many more, according to a regional official.
The humanitarian disaster comes at a difficult time for the Taliban-ruled country, currently in the throes of hunger and economic crises.
The shocks hit at 1:24 a.m. local time on Wednesday (4:54 p.m. ET on Tuesday) around 46 kilometers (28.5 miles) southwest of the city of Khost, which lies close to the country’s border with Pakistan, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS).
The quake registered at a depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), according to USGS, which designated it at yellow alert level — indicating a relatively localized impact.
Most of the deaths were in Paktika province, in the districts of Giyan, Nika, Barmal and Zirok, according to the State Ministry for Disaster Management.
The death toll stands at more than 1,000 and at least 1,500 people have been injured “in Gayan and Barmal districts of Paktika province alone,” Mohammad Amin Hozaifa, head of Paktika province’s information and culture department, told CNN in a phone call Wednesday.
The official expects the number of casualties to rise as search and effort missions continue.
Photos from Paktika province, just south of Khost province, show houses turned to rubble with only a wall or two still standing amid the rubble, and broken roof beams.
Najibullah Sadid, an Afghan water resources management expert, said the earthquake had coincided with heavy monsoon rain in the region — making traditional houses, many made of mud and other natural materials, particularly vulnerable to damage.
China sends dozens of warplanes into skies near Taiwan
A total of 29 Chinese warplanes entered Taiwan’s self-declared air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on Tuesday, according to the island’s Defense Ministry.
The Defense Ministry said the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force planes were a mix of fighter jets, early warning and control aircraft, electronic warfare aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, electronic intelligence aircraft, and aerial refueling aircraft.
It was the third-highest daily number of Chinese jets entering Taiwan’s ADIZ since the start of the year and comes less than a month after China sent 30 warplanes on a similar mission.
In response, the Taiwanese military scrambled combat aircraft to warn the Chinese jets away, issued radio warnings and deployed air defense missile systems to monitor the activities, the Defense Ministry added.

Man inhales drill bit into lung while at dentist
KENOSHA, Wis. (WISN) - What began as a routine dental visit landed an Illinois man in the hospital after he inhaled the dentist’s drill bit. A rare medical procedure was needed to remove it from his lung.
Tom Jozsi, a 60-year-old maintenance worker, says he was at the dentist getting a tooth filled when he swallowed an inch-long drill bit.
“I didn’t really even feel it going down. All I felt was a cough,” he said.
Doctors believe that inhaling just before he coughed sent the metal object deep into Jozsi’s airways. The bit ended up so deep that normal scopes couldn’t reach it, according to pulmonary expert Dr. Abdul Alraiyes.
“When I saw the CAT scan and where that object is sitting, it was really far down on the right lower lobe of the lung,” Alraiyes said.
“What happens if he can’t get it out? And really, the answer was part of my lung was going to have to get removed,” Jozsi said.
That’s when Alraiyes and the team at Aurora Medical Center-Kenosha decided to try a newer device, one not designed for removing foreign objects but instead for early detection of cancer.
Video of the scan shows the medical team was able to navigate the narrow airways, reach the drill piece and pull it out without any harm to the patient.
“I was never so happy in my life when I opened my eyes and I saw him with a smile under that mask, shaking a little plastic container that had the tool in it,” Jozsi said.
Joszi now keeps the drill bit on a shelf at home. It was in his lung for four days.
Alraiyes says he has heard from colleagues in both Michigan and Ohio who report seeing cases nearly identical to this one.

(The Hill) – Democrats are growing increasingly frustrated by what they say is a flat-footed White House that is slow to catch up on solving a seemingly never-ending cascade of problems in the face of an unrelenting news cycle.
They point to the recent baby formula shortage as the latest example of how President Biden has failed to get ahead of the story, allowing Republicans to set the narrative as yet another failure for the White House. But they also highlighted Biden’s lag on other issues at the top of voter’s minds: inflation and gas prices.
Democrats were also miffed when the White House was caught off guard when a federal judge in Florida lifted the mask mandate on airlines in April and also when a leaked draft of the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was made public, even though both were events that surprised Washington more broadly — not just the White House.
“It’s really simple: ‘Be the f—ing president!,” said one Democratic strategist frustrated by the administration. “I realize it’s tough and you’re drinking out of a fire hose every single day, but there are things you can do to control the public perception and they haven’t done any of that.”
Democratic strategist Christy Setzer said the White House has shown some naivete in recent months in trying to control the message.
“It may come down to not understanding what they’re up against — both the media environment and today’s GOP,” Setzer said. “Biden did speak out on guns, on baby formula, on inflation … but the traditional tactics aren’t breaking through, and it doesn’t seem as though they’re taking in that information, re-trenching, and trying new approaches when it’s falling flat.”
The White House routinely defends Biden and the administration’s response to the baby formula shortage, highlighting his invoking of the Defense Production Act to have baby formula flown into the U.S. at least five times in recent weeks.
“The President has led with urgency and solutions needed to deliver for American families due to Abbott’s recall,” a White House official said.
Speaking to reporters during a briefing last week, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre acknowledged that Biden is juggling “multiple crises” at one time.
Biden’s polling numbers began to fall last August, around the time he withdrew the last military forces out of Afghanistan after 20 years of war. The chaotic and deadly U.S. exit, marked by the Taliban’s swift and sudden takeover of Kabul, was labeled by both Democrats and Republicans as poorly executed. It was compounded by a terrorist bombing that took the lives of 13 American service members.
Biden hasn’t recovered since.
Most polls have Biden’s approval rating stuck in the low 40s. A Reuters-Ipsos poll released last week showed that Biden’s approval rating had jumped up 6 points to 42 percent from a record low the previous week.
After Biden delivered his prime-time address calling for congressional action on an assault weapons ban and other reforms following the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, Democrats — who praised the tone and tenor of the speech — criticized the timing.
“It should have been done sooner,” one strategist said. “It felt like it was too late by the time he’d delivered the speech. The moment was already passing.”
Biden did deliver a speech the night of the shooting after returning from the White House from a multiday trip to Asia, but it was less focused on pushing for specific legislative actions and more about pleading with the public to find an end to mass shootings devastating the country.
The Biden White House is no stranger to crises. The president came into office with the primary goal of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, a response that has broadly been commended by health experts, particularly when it came to effectively distributing the vaccine to the general public.
Larry Gostin, a public health law professor at Georgetown University, said the White House’s recent hiring of Ashish Jha as Biden’s new COVID-19 coordinator was a “really smart move” and credited him with his ability to speak to the public.
But other problems have piled up on Biden’s desk since his first day in office, many of them as difficult as inflation and gun violence, over which the president has limited control.
The nationwide baby formula shortage stemming from the February closure of an Abbott Nutrition factory is the latest acute crisis to test the White House. In response, Biden has invoked the Defense Production Act to boost domestic production of formula and authorize military flights to transport formula from overseas.
But Biden himself took attention off those moves when he acknowledged last week in an exchange with reporters that he wasn’t aware of the severity of the baby formula shortage until early April — weeks after the Abbott plant in Michigan was shuttered due to safety concerns and after Americans were already facing empty store shelves.
“My jaw really dropped,” said William Galston, chairman of the governance studies program at the Brookings Institution. “It was someone’s job to warn him, and not some low-level flunky.”
The first Democratic strategist said Biden’s admission that he only found out about the baby formula shortage in April “seems like bad staff work.”
“You should be able to see what’s coming down the pike,” the strategist said.
Still, the White House highlights that officials at the Food and Drug Administration and elsewhere have been working since the plant closed in February to address the issue.
A memo released by the White House earlier this week showed that in-stock rates for formula started to decline in early March from about 90 percent and now stand at about 74 percent. The memo also said infant formula sales have actually increased this year compared to last year, rising about 24 percent than average sales in 2021.
The administration, however, has garnered some praise, particularly for its handling of Russia’s war in Ukraine, the way in which officials have used intelligence, and the fact that Biden has unified allies behind a common approach to punishing the Kremlin.
Galston, a former domestic policy aide in the Clinton White House, noted that the Biden administration has been “consistently ahead of the curve” when it comes to the conflict in Ukraine, something he said has served Biden well.
“Part of competence and good management is setting up a system that to the greatest extent possible — it’s never perfect — to the greatest extent possible enables you to get ahead of events,” Galston said. “The name of the game is to avoid unforced errors.”
The first Democratic strategist suggested Biden needs to “stop trying to put out 20 fires.”
“Pick four or five and do them really well,” the strategist said. “Dive in on baby formula, dive in on gas prices.”
To be sure, the White House is trying to get ahead of other challenges, including the impending Supreme Court ruling expected to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that said abortion rights were protected by the Constitution.
The White House has been holding listening sessions with state lawmakers, advocacy organizations and other stakeholders to better understand abortion laws on the ground ahead of the decision, which is expected later this month.
And in a sign that the baby formula shortage is likely to ease, Abbott reopened its plant in Michigan over the weekend.
Rodell Mollineau, the Democratic strategist who served as an aide to the late Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said there aren’t “quick fix solutions” to many of the issues Biden faces.
But Mollineau said Biden should be doing what he does best to help drive his message. Mollineau advised that Biden should be hitting the road more to speak directly to the public, something the president has tried to do more of since the start of the year.
“The more he’s out there, the more he’s talking to people, the more he’s visiting real Americans and sharing in their pain and frustration and being Scranton Joe, the better off it is,” Mollineau said. “It’ll remind people again why they voted for him in the first place. It plays to his strengths.”

Texas venture provides homeowners an affordable luxury upgrade by cooling outdoor spaces and keeping bugs away
PLANO, Texas, June 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With the rising prices for gas and airline tickets, seven out of 10 Americans are altering their summer travel plans, according to a recent survey from Bankrate. Of those respondents, 28% plan to have a staycation. This summer, new venture aerMist is helping non-traveling vacationers create an at-home oasis on a budget with innovative misting systems that cool any outdoor space up to 20 degrees. This means favorite activities such as getting fresh air with a favorite book, sipping a glass of wine on the patio, or having dinner al fresco with friends can be enjoyed comfortably no matter how hot the day gets. And you can experience cooler temperatures without ever packing a suitcase.
The high-pressure misters offer a luxurious-feeling home upgrade at an affordable price. Also, with a sleek design that can be easily concealed in any space, aerMist does not detract from the décor when the system is not in use. Uniquely, aerMist is tailored to a homeowner's outdoor space, so there are no unnecessary expenses for unused pieces or parts. All aerMist systems are made to last with high-quality materials, providing value for many summers and staycations to come.
With a user-friendly app, aerMist allows homeowners the ability to control up to four aerMist systems at a time without anyone having to get up and leave a relaxing spot. In addition, the high-pressure misters can cool a space without soaking clothes and furniture and create a bug-free zone without any chemicals.
"Dorothy was right all along—there is no place like home," says Boris Medica, co-founder of aerMist. "People invest in their homes and backyards. Our aerMist systems keep those outdoor spaces cool so they can be enjoyed for longer periods of time on warm days."
aerMist high-pressure misters are quieter and use less water than other misters on the market, which adds up to a stress-free staycation. The aerMist systems, offered in stainless steel and plastic tubing kits, start at $935 and can be purchased through the company's website.
aerMist is the first high-pressure cooling system for homes and restaurants that offers user-friendly technology to lower the temperature of outdoor spaces up to 20 degrees. The company was founded in 2021 by Boris and Jelena Medic and is based in Plano, Texas. The misting systems provide the best cooling at the lowest cost. In addition, aerMist systems are eco-friendly, minimizing water use with a sleek design that maximizes space. To learn more about aerMist, visit https://aermist.com/.

For many, age is just a number, but it’s the body that can end up slowing you down rather than the brain or the way you feel on the inside.
BestReviews’ fitness expert Judd NeSmith, NASM-CPT, PES, is a skilled personal trainer and the founder of Serious Fitness. In 2020, he created an online program containing strength and conditioning workouts for people ages 50-plus.
NeSmith is here to give the lowdown on exercises that can reduce pain caused by aging.
Exercises for neck and shoulder pain
Scapular wall slides
“The neck and shoulders of the cervical spine area is a really common area where people experience a lot of pain as they get older,” says NeSmith. He recommends scapular wall slides to help people with neck and shoulder pain. It’s a simple exercise you can do anywhere with access to a wall.
- Start by standing with your back against a wall and your knees slightly bent.
- Put your arms against the wall and imagine you’re making a W with your elbows close to your waist.
- Slide your arms against the wall above your head to make a Y.
- Repeat 10 times.
“This strengthens a very notoriously weak muscle called the lower trapezius muscle. It also stretches the front part of your shoulders and area called your pectoralis minor,” NeSmith explains.
Chin tucks
NeSmith recommends chin tucks for anyone who suffers from neck or shoulder pain. He says, “I do these daily. I do them in the shower — I do them while I shave — I do them in the gym — because I’m that guy who had a lot of neck and shoulder problems from playing football.”
- Sit in a chair or stand with your arms hanging by your side.
- Turn your palms forward to open up your shoulders. Bring your shoulders down and try to push your chin back as far as possible. Imagine you’re trying to press the back of your head into an invisible wall behind you. The name “chin tuck” can be misleading because you’re not tucking your chin down into your chest.
- Now bring your chin forward and repeat 10 times.
Exercises for lower back pain
Dead bugs
Pain in the lower back is a common complaint as people age. NeSmith recommends an exercise called dead bugs. He says it can “re-educate somebody on how to properly recruit their core muscles to stabilize their spine. It also will correct what is called an anterior pelvic tilt, because a lot of us sit for a living and we get notoriously tight in our hip flexors.”
- Lay on your back with your knees bent over your hips and feet off the ground. Hold your arms straight up, pointing towards the ceiling.
- Draw your belly button in so your lower back touches the floor.
- Hold this posture in your back while simultaneously straightening and lowering your right leg towards the ground and lowering your left arm straight behind your head.
- Alternate with the left leg straight towards the ground and the right arm straight behind you.
- Do that for eight reps on each side for a total of three sets.
Side-lying thoracic spine rotation
Side-lying thoracic spine rotation is an exercise that strengthens the middle back, which in turn can address lower back pain. The exercise strengthens the area of the back called the thoracic spine. NeSmith explains, “It’s the only area of our spine that needs a lot of mobility. Your lower back does not need much mobility at all. So when someone gets tight in their middle back, the body then seeks mobility from the lower back.” This can cause lower back pain.
- Lie on your left side with your head on a yoga block or pillow to keep your neck aligned with your spine. Bend your knees so that the tops of your thighs are at a 90-degree angle to your torso.
- Straighten your arms in front of you, then take your right arm and move it over your body, above your head and behind your back, reaching it as far toward your back pocket as you can, keeping your arm straight the whole time. Reverse the exercise to bring your arm back round to the front.
- Now switch to lying on your right side and repeat the exercise.
Exercise for knee pain
Pigeon pose
According to NeSmith, “The good old-fashioned pigeon pose would be a great stretch to help someone restore flexibility.” This is a yoga pose, but you don’t need any yoga experience to pull it off.
- Kneel on a yoga mat and extend one leg behind you. Press the top of the foot into the mat, with the sole of the foot facing the ceiling.
- Bring your other leg in front of you with your knee bent inward and in line with your hip. Place your palms or fingertips on the mat on each side of you for support.
- Lean your body forward so your torso is over your front leg and your arms come to rest on the mat. Relax in this position for as long as you like.
- Sit up before repeating the exercise with your legs in opposite positions, so what was your front leg is now your back leg and what was your back leg is now your front leg.
Other ways to reduce pain caused by aging
In addition to exercises, NeSmith suggests using a massage gun on low intensity on muscles that are tight or stiff, particularly the quadratus lumborum muscles in the back and the levator scapula muscles on the tops of your shoulders and sides of your neck.
He also says using a foam roller on the quadriceps at the front of your thigh can open up the hip flexors and reduce lower back pain.
Fitness equipment that can help reduce pain from aging
BalanceFrom GoYoga+ Yoga Mat and Knee Pad
It’s nice to have a yoga mat for any exercises you do on the floor. This one is thick but dense for increased stability and comes with a knee pad. Sold by Amazon
Medcursor Handheld Percussion Massage Gun
If you want to try a massage gun for dealing with aches and pains, this is a popular yet highly affordable model. Sold by Amazon

CHICAGO, Aug. 19, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Old Republic International Corporation (NYSE: ORI) – today announced its Board of Directors has authorized a $450 million share repurchase program and a special, one-time cash dividend of $1.00 per share. This special dividend is payable on September 15, 2022 to shareholders of record on September 1, 2022. With 309 million shares outstanding at June 30, 2022, the return of capital authorized by the Board through these actions totals approximately $760 million.
Under the share repurchase program, Old Republic may purchase shares on a discretionary basis from time to time through open market purchases, private negotiated transactions or other means. The timing and amount of any transactions will be conducted subject to the discretion of Old Republic based upon valuation, market conditions and other considerations. Old Republic may also from time to time repurchase shares pursuant to written, pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plans, which will be established and conducted in accordance with applicable regulations. The repurchase program is intended to comply with Rule 10b-18 and has no expiration date, does not require the purchase of any minimum number of shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.
In reaching its decision to authorize the share repurchase program and the special cash dividend, the Board of Directors evaluated such factors as the current and foreseeable liquidity and capital needs of the parent holding company and its insurance company subsidiaries.
Craig R. Smiddy, President and CEO, commented, "Old Republic continues to perform at a high level, a testament to our talented associates executing on our specialty, diversified business strategy.

Next-Generation Fiber Network to Reach Over 50,000 Potential Customers in Indiana by End of 2023
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 30, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Brightspeed today announced details for its planned fiber optics network build in the state of Indiana. By the end of 2023, the company will deliver over 50,000 new fiber passings in portions of 20 counties during the first phase of construction in the state. Brightspeed plans an additional 70,000 fiber passings in subsequent years of its build plan, for a total of more than 120,000 fiber-enabled locations across its Indiana footprint.
The Indiana fiber build is the latest in a series of announcements that Brightspeed has made over the last several months outlining the company's fiber network plans for its multistate territory. In total, Brightspeed intends to invest at least $2 billion in its fiber optics transformation, which is expected to reach up to 3 million homes and businesses over the next five years in mainly rural and suburban settings where fiber and advanced technology have not historically been deployed.
Brightspeed will initially be comprised of incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) assets and associated operations of Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN), which are the subject of a pending acquisition by Apollo-managed funds (NYSE: APO). The company has secured FCC approval and all necessary regulatory approvals in the 20 states in its operating footprint, and plans to close the transaction early in the fourth quarter.
"We are excited to share our fiber network upgrade plans for Indiana and are thrilled that we will be reaching so many communities during our initial build phase," said Tom Maguire, chief operating officer of Brightspeed. "Our Brightspeed team has been busy completing the design and construction preparations necessary to hit the ground running on day one of operations. We cannot wait to start delivering our ultra-fast, reliable internet connections, with an awesome, best-in-class customer experience that the people and businesses of Indiana need and deserve."
Brightspeed's 2022-23 build plan for Indiana will bring faster, more reliable internet and Wi-Fi to over 50,000 residential and business locations in markets within Adams, Carroll, Dearborn, Elkhart, Henry, Jasper, Johnson, Kosciusko, LaGrange, Madison, Marshall, Newton, Ohio, Pulaski, Randolph, St. Joseph, Starke, Switzerland, White, and Whitley counties.
"Beyond our own extensive network build in Indiana, we are looking forward to working with key state and local stakeholders, including the Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA), to pursue opportunities to further expand fiber-based broadband availability in Indiana," added Maguire.
"There are several rural counties in Indiana that are poised for growth in the next few years, but it comes down to quality of life in these rural areas," said Indiana Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch. "Access to quality education and healthcare are keys to this growth, but neither can happen without affordable and reliable connectivity. Brightspeed's investment in Indiana in the next two years will bring reliable connectivity to an estimated 50,000 businesses and households. This is what Hoosiers need!"
Brightspeed's unique next-generation FTTP architecture, supported by a portfolio of blue-chip technology partners, is engineered to help the company accelerate deployment and market availability. The company's planned XGS-PON network will be capable of delivering download and upload speeds in excess of 1Gbps, with service reliability vital to helping today's households and businesses connect, grow, and thrive.

Bengals’ Burrow wasted no time getting over Super Bowl loss
By MITCH STACY
AP Sports Writer
CINCINNATI (AP) — Joe Burrow said he didn’t spend any time second-guessing himself or pondering what might have been after the Bengals’ Super Bowl loss. The 25-year-old quarterback says he watched video of the game once and then mentally filed it away. He is not one to dwell on the past and besides, he’s confident the Bengals will return to the Super Bowl during his tenure. Burrow was in his second year in the NFL and still recovering from major knee surgery in 2021 as he led the Bengals to an AFC North title and their first Super Bowl appearance in 33 years.

Ashton helps active-duty military with paperback books
ASHTON, Idaho (KIFI) - Jennifer Cecil of Ashton was looking for a way to serve members of her community when she came across Operation Paperback.
Cecil said the more she read about the project, the more it felt right.
"I come from a military background with military family members," Cecil said, adding she's an avid reader. "What they do is collect gently used paperback books from all 50 states. They then mail them all over the world. "Overseas, military members in the United States, to VA hospitals, and to the Wounded Warrior Project."
Cecil said while e-books are great and soldiers have access to them, there's just something about a physical book.
"I think it's more of a comfort thing. I read every day, and I couldn't imagine being away from home in a different land doing something scary and not having my books," Cecil said, adding that for many, having something physical to hold can help them feel connected to their family back home.
Cecil says when she first signed up, she had one goal in mind.
"I made a goal to collect 500 books by the end of April and to start shipping them over the beginning of May," Cecil said. "(I have) probably 300-400. The community response has been fantastic. I'm getting calls every other day for people who need them picked up, so it's going really well so far."
Cecil said if people want to help, but don't have books, monetary donations are welcome as well.
Those funds will then be used to "provide specific titles the military members asked for specifically."
"If I don't get them in a donation, then I'll go out and purchase those and send them over," Cecil said. "But as of now, everything can be dropped off at Shoppe on Main in Ashton. Or I can pick up anywhere between Island Park and Idaho Falls."
Cecil says the Operation Paperback website has a list of specific titles active-duty soldiers and families are requesting, or you can donate any book you wish. If you wish to donate any books, you can reach Jennifer Cecil at (208) 403-5448

New Hampshire couple found shot to death in wooded area
By Rebekah Riess and Jennifer Henderson, CNN
The bodies of a New Hampshire couple were found shot to death in a wooded area in Concord, police say.
Djeswende Reid, 66, and Stephen Reid, 67, had been shot multiple times, according to Deputy Chief Medical Examiner Mitchell Weinberg.
They had left their apartment to go for a walk around 2:22 p.m. Monday, and family and friends didn’t see or hear from them after that, authorities said.
Concord Police are asking people to report suspicious behavior and to share any surveillance video of the area.
Residents are also encouraged to be “vigilant and take normal precautions as they go about their daily lives,” a release from the state Attorney General’s Office said.
“This is a very peaceful neighborhood and they’re talking about murder,” resident Doug Ponusky told affiliate WFXT.
“It just seems random. That’s the scariest part,” Ron Biavaschi told the station. “You got some nut on the loose, you know.”

BERKELEY, Calif., Sept. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Arize AI, a leader in machine learning observability, announced today that it has raised $38 million in Series B funding. TCV led the round with participation from existing investors Battery Ventures, Foundation Capital, and Swift Ventures.
The investment is the largest-ever in a machine learning observability platform and comes at an important inflection point for the industry. Machine learning models are now being deployed in nearly every sector of the economy, with companies investing billions to turn artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) into a competitive advantage. Despite a decade of investment in data infrastructure and the pre-production ML toolchain, most companies still lack visibility into how their ML models are performing in production and run the risk of models impacting earnings or acting in unfair ways. This is especially true as the industry embraces computer vision and natural language processing models that are notoriously difficult to troubleshoot since they rely on unstructured data and manual labeling by humans.
Launched in 2020, Arize's ML observability platform is already counted on by a growing list of enterprises and disruptive technology companies – including Uber, Spotify, Ebay, Instacart, Chime, Neustar, Nextdoor, New York Life, Stitch Fix, and more – to track hundreds of billions of predictions per month. Arize is beloved by ML engineering teams because it enables them to streamline troubleshooting efforts with purpose-built workflows and analytics for model performance management, drift detection, data quality checks, and model validation. Arize also enables users to log models with both structured and unstructured data to the platform for monitoring.
"Michaelangelo is Uber's end-to-end ML platform that powers 100% business-critical ML use cases at Uber to deliver a consistent user experience across billions of rides and deliveries," says Kai Wang, Product Lead, Uber AI Platform. "Given the vital role ML plays in this process, it's critical to have tools that build on Michalangelo's core capabilities and help us stay ahead of potential production ML problems. We're excited to work with Arize AI to enhance platform ML observability capabilities and make it easier to detect and resolve model performance issues."
"Arize's platform finally makes it easy for ML engineers to scalably detect data and drift issues, troubleshoot what happened, and improve overall model performance" says Morgan Gerlak, Partner at TCV. "Like other areas of observability, the end user really matters — and we were impressed by Arize's ability to build a practical solution that ML engineers love."
"As the pace of innovation in AI accelerates, it's more important than ever for organizations to have machine learning observability in place to surface potential problems and improve ML models in production," says Dharmesh Thakker, a general partner with Battery Ventures. "In the past year, Arize has emerged as one of the highest-profile companies in this space -- the platform of choice for many prominent ML teams. We're proud to expand our investment and partnership with Arize as it pushes into new frontiers."
"Speaking of observability, I've been watching Arize grow since its inception," says Ashu Garg, general partner at Foundation Capital, "and I'm thrilled at how far the company has come. Its product is far ahead of the competition and is being deployed by best-in-class AI enterprises, which all acknowledge the seriousness of the problem. In two short years, Arize has become the breakout company in its category."
"The reality is that if you're not injecting AI into every major business decision, you are going to be left behind," notes Brett Wilson, Co-Founder and General Partner at Swift Ventures. "Having machine learning observability in place to monitor models and get ahead of potential problems is table stakes, especially in a challenging economic environment. Arize is the category leader in this space and is pushing it to new frontiers."
Arize AI is a machine learning observability platform that helps ML teams deliver and maintain more successful AI in production. Arize's automated model monitoring and observability platform allows ML teams to quickly detect issues when they emerge, troubleshoot why they happened, and improve overall model performance across both structured and unstructured data. Arize is a remote first company with headquarters in Berkeley, CA. Sign up for a free account or book a demo for your team at Arize.com.

Supreme Court sides with coach who sought to pray after game
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday sided with a football coach from Washington state who sought to kneel and pray on the field after games.
The court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines for the coach. The justices said the coach’s prayer was protected by the First Amendment.
“The Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religious and nonreligious views alike,” wrote Justice Neil Gorsuch for the majority.
The case forced the justices to wrestle with how to balance the religious and free speech rights of teachers and coaches with the rights of students not to feel pressured into participating in religious practices. The outcome could strengthen the acceptability of some religious practices in the public school setting.
The decision is also the latest in a line of Supreme Court rulings for religious plaintiffs.

Big Question for Candidates: "What do you think the state should do with the growing surplus?"
PHOENIX, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Following the successful launch of the education issues important to voters earlier this week, Center for the Future of Arizona (CFA) today released its economic and inflation findings as part of their ongoing reveal of the Arizona Voters' Agenda, which identifies what likely voters in the general election want to hear about from candidates as they campaign for their votes.
The survey findings demonstrate that voters care the most about supporting Arizona's long-term economic growth, increasing job creation and business investment, and addressing inflation.They also believe that our relative tax burden is low and would prefer to invest surplus money rather than cutting taxes.
"Education and our long-term economic growth are inextricably linked.So, it was only natural to release our economic findings the same week as our education results," explained Dr. Sybil Francis, President & CEO of CFA. "Our research shows that voters care about our long-term economic growth and understand the relationship between robust funding for education and our state's future prosperity – not only do they want to invest in education, but they would also prefer increased investment over cutting taxes."
In all, 82% of likely voters agreed with the following statement, "Economists forecast Arizona will have a $4 billion budget surplus over the next three years. Instead of continuing to cut taxes, we should be increasing funding for education, public safety, roads, and other critical investments that will boost our long-term economic growth." Support included 70% of Republicans, 93% of independent/unaffiliated voters, and 95% of Democrats.
A sizable 84% of the electorate also believes, "When you compare Arizona to other states across the country, our tax burden is relatively low. Everyone should pay their fair share of taxes to ensure that the state can continue to meet its core obligations."This statement is supported by 78% of Republicans, 90% of independent/unaffiliated voters, and 92% of Democrats.
"When it comes to the future of Arizona's economy, voters prioritize investment in education, public safety, and other essential needs while ensuring taxpayers are contributing their fair share," said Dr. Francis.

NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) — The European Union has asked Turkish Cypriot authorities in the breakaway north of ethnically divided Cyprus to toughen up measures aimed at reducing the rising number of migrants seeking asylum in the island nation’s internationally recognized south.
An EU official said Friday that the bloc “explained its concerns” about the issue and that Turkish Cypriot authorities “must do what’s necessary” to curb migrant arrivals. The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition anonymity because he’s not allowed to speak about the issue publicly.
Cyprus was split along ethnic lines in 1974 when Turkey invaded following a coup aimed at union with Greece. Only Turkey recognizes a Turkish Cypriot declaration of independence. Cypriot government authorities say the overwhelming majority of migrant arrivals occurs via Turkey and the Turkish Cypriot north through a loosely regulated student visa system.
The Cypriot Interior Ministry on Friday again accused Turkey of “systematically instrumentalizing economic migrants from sub-Saharan Africa.”
The EU wants Turkish Cypriot authorities to tighten up vetting procedures for issuing such visas to prevent applicants from using them to reach northern Cyprus, cross a porous U.N.-controlled buffer zone and then seek asylum in the Greek Cypriot south. Although Turkish Cypriots receive EU funding, only the south enjoys full membership benefits.
The EU is also helping Cypriot authorities bolster monitoring and surveillance of the buffer zone to deter crossings in a way that is compatible with EU law, since the 180-kilometer (120-mile) long area isn’t a formal border.
Cyprus’ interior ministry says the number of asylum-seekers in the first half of this year amounted to 12,000 – equal to the number for all of last year. It says asylum-seekers make up an EU high of 5% of Cyprus’ 915,000 people in the south.
Meanwhile, Turkish Cypriot leader Ersin Tatar said Friday that he has proposed setting up a joint, U.N.-facilitated committee of officials from either side tasked with finding ways of curbing irregular migration as well as “strengthening security and surveillance along the buffer zone and increasing patrolling by the coast guards.”
Tatar has insisted that the only way to move forward on a peace deal in Cyprus is for Turkish Cypriots to attain equal sovereign status with the Cypriot government and agree on a two-state accord.
The EU and the U.N. Security Council say that goes against the agreed-upon settlement framework of reunifying the island as a federation composed of Greek and Turkish Cypriot zones. Greek Cypriots reject any deal that would formalize the island’s partition.

State-of-the-Art Fiber Network to Reach up to 24,000 Potential Customers by End of 2023
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Brightspeed today announced that it will build portions of its planned fiber optics network in Illinois and Michigan, bringing faster, more reliable internet and Wi-Fi to residential and business locations across its operating territory in each state.
In Illinois, Brightspeed will deliver, by end of 2023, up to 14,000 new fiber passings in Knox County during the first phase of network construction. The company plans to add 31,000 fiber passings in the state in subsequent years of the build, for a total of up to 45,000 fiber-enabled locations.
In Michigan, Brightspeed will achieve, by end of 2023, over 10,000 new fiber passings in markets within Chippewa, Monroe, Saginaw, Sanilac, Schoolcraft, and Tuscola counties. The company plans to add 14,000 passings in future years of the build, for a total of over 24,000 fiber-enabled locations.
"As our economy, education systems, healthcare platforms, and entertainment options increasingly move online, there is greater urgency for the broadband infrastructure to keep pace, especially in rural and suburban communities," said Sherry Hessenthaler, operations strategy lead for Brightspeed. "We are eager to begin our ambitious fiber deployment in Illinois and Michigan. We believe customers will welcome a new competitive choice for internet and Wi-Fi. We can't wait to introduce our high-quality products and customer experience to the cities, towns, and neighborhoods we are privileged to serve."
Brightspeed has outlined many of its state-specific build plans over the last several months and is well underway with network design and construction groundwork across its multistate territory as it continues preparations for day one operations. In total, Brightspeed intends to invest at least $2 billion in its fiber optics transformation, which is expected to reach up to 3 million homes and businesses over the next five years, including in many locations where fiber and advanced technology have not historically been deployed.
The company will initially be comprised of incumbent local exchange carrier (ILEC) assets and associated operations of Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN), which are the subject of a pending acquisition by Apollo-managed funds (NYSE: APO). The company has secured FCC approval and all necessary regulatory approvals in the 20 states in its operating footprint, and plans to close the transaction early in the fourth quarter.
Brightspeed will leverage technology innovations and a unique distributed FTTP architecture designed for faster implementation and market availability of XGSPON-based internet services with symmetrical speeds that exceed 1Gbps.
"Beyond our investment in Illinois and Michigan, we will evaluate areas for consideration for state and federal broadband grant programs as they arise," added Hessenthaler. "We are excited for the potential to expand fiber-based internet to even more communities in our serving area and look forward to working with key policymakers and stakeholders including the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, and the Michigan High-Speed Internet Office."
Brightspeed plans to announce further state-specific fiber build plans in the coming weeks.

The Belton City Council approved a zoning change on Tuesday that designated approximately 97.4 acres in South Belton as a single family-3 residential district.
The conceptual plan for the site — generally located east of Interstate 35 on the north side of East Avenue H and south of Nolan Creek — sets the stage for 224 new homes in a city that has been designated by many as a region of “fast growth.”
“The applicant proposes a single family detached residential subdivision,” Tina Moore, a planner with the city of Belton, said during a meeting on Tuesday. “The property is mostly vacant with one existing detached home. Lots … are approximately 6,000 square feet each, with a width of 50 feet and depth of 120 feet. This is a density of 2.3 dwellings units per acre.”
Although Austin-based Bowman Consulting — the civil-engineering firm that is developing the site — previously proposed East Avenue H as a public access point to the site and Shady Lane as an emergency access point, it will need further connections before a plat is approved by Belton City Council.
“The conceptual site plan … does not address the requirements of the thoroughfare plan or the subdivision ordinance,” Moore said. “The subdivision ordinance requires a minimum of three points of egress and ingress to the development since it proposes more than 101 units.”
However, four potential access points are now in discussion after a traffic impact analysis was provided by the applicant per the city’s request.
“The first is East Avenue H; a second is an extension of Elm Grove Road that would implement a portion of the Thoroughfare Plan; a third is a public street extension of Shady Lane to Holland Road outside the Belle Oaks property; and the fourth is relocation of the Central/Spring Avenue with construction of a new bridge proposed by the city,” Moore said. “We’re looking for public roads that the community can use to get in and out of there for circulation.”
Nicholas Kehl, a branch manager at Bowman Consulting, said he is confident that the issue surrounding the number of access points will be resolved.
“I just wanted to state for the record that we are in the process of working with city staff to meet all of the city ordinances for the three points of connection and we’re going to work with city staff to make sure that it meets all of the code requirements,” he said during the meeting on Tuesday.
Although more needs to be done before a plat is approved for construction, Place 2 Councilman Dan Kirkley is excited.
“I think it’s a very good addition to our community,” he said.
Zonda Demographics recently discussed some of the residential and multi-family housing developments happening within city limits during a Belton ISD school board meeting last March.
Per their data, there are currently at least four multi-family housing developments in the works: phase two of Colonial Crossing Apartments, 132 future units; Ridge at Belle Meadows, 48 units under construction; Royal Heights Townhomes, 55 units under construction; and Heart of Texas RV Resort, 100 future units.
These projects are contributing to a 3% to 4% growth in student enrollment each year in Belton ISD — a district that is expected to exceed 14,000 students by 2025.

BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — A Mali prosecutor says the 49 Ivory Coast soldiers held in Mali since July on accusations of being mercenaries have now been charged with undermining state security.
Mali’s prosecutor in the counterterrorism unit gave the update on the soldiers’ situation. Ivory Coast has been demanding the release of the soldiers since their detention on July 10.
The soldiers are charged with “criminal association, attack and conspiracy against the government, undermining the external security of the state, possession, carrying and transportation of weapons of war and complicity in these crimes,” the specialized prosecutor Samba Sissoko said in a statement released Sunday. “Investigations will be carried out in order to establish the truth, identify all possible perpetrators, co-perpetrators and accomplices.”
The Ivorian soldiers were detained upon their arrival in Mali at the airport in Bamako, the capital. They were sent to Mali to secure a building belonging to an airline company that was carrying out a contract with the German contingent of peacekeepers with the United Nations mission in Mali. However, Mali’s ruling junta considers the Ivorian soldiers to be “mercenaries” because they are not directly employed by the U.N. mission and therefore are not “national support elements.”
Tensions between Mali and Ivory Coast have increased since the soldiers were arrested.

Election preview: Alliance Schools seek permanent levy for buildings
ALLIANCE – Residents in Alliance City School District will face a general improvement levy during the May 3 primary election.
The 2.7-mill permanent levy would generate roughly $842,000 for the school district annually.
Alliance City Schools Superintendent Rob Gress said the issue will not create extra costs for taxpayers.
Gress said the district this year will finish paying off bonds from 1999 that funded the construction of the new elementary, intermediate and middle schools, as well as renovations at Parkway and the Early Learning School.
The new levy would cost taxpayers $7.88 per month per $100,000 of evaluation, the same amount they have paid over the last 23 years for the bonds.
Gress said the funds would pay for maintenance and repairs to various aspects of the school buildings, including roofs, floors, fences, doors, HVAC systems, security cameras and parking lots.
The buildings are still in good condition, Gress said, and the money would allow the school district to maintain them. He added that because the buildings are roughly the same age, many of these types of repairs will need to be handled concurrently.
Gress said that the continuous levy could not be used for any other purposes, such as salaries or human resources matters.
District residents renewed a separate, 2-mill levy to help maintain buildings across the district's facilities in November.
For additional information, contact the levy committee at ACSlevycom22@gmail.com.
Ohio's primary election remains muddled, because of a failure to produce maps to set up state House and Senate districts. According to state elections officials, it's not possible to conduct state-level races in the May election. According to Ohio elections rules, early voting is to start Tuesday, after Monday's deadline to register to vote in the May primary.

DURHAM, N.C., Aug. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Children gained weight at a faster rate during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to previous years, according to a new study funded by the Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Program at the National Institutes of Health.
Childhood obesity is a serious health condition that can affect long-term health and quality of life. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, health experts were concerned that the closure of schools and recreational facilities could cause an increase in childhood obesity due to a reduction in physical activity and dietary changes.
ECHO researchers analyzed changes in children's body mass index (BMI) before and during the pandemic and investigated whether changes in BMI varied based on race, ethnicity, pre-pandemic BMI, or household income. In general, children gained weight at an increased rate during the pandemic but children in higher income households were at a lower risk of excess weight gain.
"This study highlights the need for interventions to mitigate the physical and mental health consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic," said Emily Knapp, PhD. "The conditions faced by families during the COVID-19 pandemic may have led to an acceleration of weight gain in children. This study highlights the need to support less resourced families, who have borne the worst consequences of the pandemic."
Dr. Knapp and Aruna Chandran, MD, ECHO Program investigators at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, led this collaborative research effort published in Pediatrics.

Vogelbach’s go-ahead homer leads Pirates past Dodgers 5-3
By WILL GRAVES
AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Daniel Vogelbach hit a go-ahead homer in the seventh and the Pittsburgh Pirates took a series from the Los Angeles Dodgers for the first time in nearly five years with a 5-3 victory. Vogelbach lined a shot to the seats in right field off Daniel Hudson, putting the Pirates back in front after they squandered a three-run lead in the top of the seventh. Edwin Rios hit a three-run double for Los Angeles.

Quin Snyder guided the Utah Jazz to six consecutive playoff appearances, was an NBA coach of the year finalist just last season and won nearly 60% of his games with the franchise.
And he’s decided that was enough.
Snyder resigned Sunday as coach of the Jazz, ending an eight-year run of regular-season success but with the team never getting past the second round of the playoffs in his tenure.
Snyder released a statement through the team, part of it simply saying “it is time.”
“At the core, and what drives me every day is our players and their passion for the game, their desire to constantly work to improve and their dedication to the team and the Jazz,” Snyder said. “I strongly feel they need a new voice to continue to evolve. That’s it. No philosophical differences, no other reason. After eight years, I just feel it is time to move onward. I needed to take time to detach after the season and make sure this was the right decision.”
He went 372-264 with the Jazz, his winning percentage of .585 ranking as 18th-best among NBA coaches who have worked for at least that long. He’s one of only two coaches to have a winning record with the Jazz, Jerry Sloan being the other.
His decision means the Jazz will have a fourth coach in the span of 33 years when next season begins. Sloan was followed by Tyrone Corbin, who was followed by Snyder.
“Quin Snyder has embodied what Jazz basketball is for the last eight years,” Jazz owner Ryan Smith said. “The tireless work ethic and attention to detail Quin displayed each day is a testament to the professional he is. I have nothing but admiration for Quin and respect his decision.”
Snyder was a four-time coach of the month, the most recent of those awards coming this past February. The Jazz had the best record in the NBA in the 2020-21 season, but couldn’t get past the Western Conference semifinals — part of a run where the team has dropped five of its last six playoff series.
And this season simply collapsed: Utah looked the part of a title contender for some of the season, getting off to a 7-1 start and standing at 26-9 when the calendar flipped to 2022. It all changed somewhere along the way; the Jazz had three separate losing streaks of at least four games, and in games played after Jan. 1 wound up going only 25-28.
The first-round ouster continued a troubling trend in Utah of regular-season success never translating to the playoffs. The Jazz were 21-30 in postseason games under Snyder, losing in the first round three times and losing in the second round in their other three playoff appearances during his tenure.
Utah becomes the second team in the league with a current coaching opening, Charlotte being the other. And that makes Snyder’s immediate future unclear.
He was mentioned as a possible candidates for some jobs that were open — the Los Angeles Lakers, for example, a position that wound up going to longtime assistant Darvin Ham. Snyder has even been considered a potential future candidate for a job that hasn’t been open for more than a quarter-century, that being in the one in San Antonio held by NBA wins leader Gregg Popovich.
“I loved my time with Quin,” Jazz center Rudy Gobert when this season ended. “There’s always going to be talk about a lot of things, especially when you have disappointing endings like we had this season.”
Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell offered even more effusive praise for Snyder.
“Love Quin. I love Quin. Love Quin,” Mitchell said after Utah’s first-round ouster. “He’s a guy that gave me an opportunity when I first got here and trusted in me, believed in me. He’s a guy that I think has had so much talked about and he’s been headstrong, he’s been steady with it throughout the year.”
The coaching change could be the first step in an offseason of major change for the Jazz.
Gobert is owed $85 million over the next two years, plus holds a $46.6 million player option for the 2025-26 season. Mitchell is owed $67.5 million for the next two seasons, followed by a $37 million player option. Their relationship has been strained at times, going back to at least the start of the pandemic, when Gobert was the first NBA player to test positive for COVID-19 and Mitchell tested positive a day later. And speculation has been rampant since about whether a dynamic scorer like Mitchell and a dominant defender like Gobert can be the sort of 1-2 punch that leads a championship team.
Both will figure to have interest if the Jazz choose to make them available on the trade market — and it’s not outside the realm of possibility that either or both players might ask for a move as well.
“There’s things that could change,” Mitchell acknowledged when the season ended. “I’m not ready to discuss that, to be honest with you right now. Mentally, I’m just not in that headspace to be completely honest with you. I’m really not. For me, this sucks.”
The first change has come. Snyder has left.
“Thank you to our always supportive and passionate fans,” Snyder said. “We only want the best for you and to see you raise a championship banner.”

BEIJING, June 25, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday offered his answers to the questions of the times at a keynote speech in virtual format at the opening ceremony of the BRICS Business Forum in Beijing and called for joint efforts to seek and safeguard peace.
He also urged efforts to strengthen global economic governance and increase the representation and voices of emerging markets and developing countries, and experts said this has pointed out the correct directions to solve current challenges that are threatening global development and recovery.
Xi will also host the 14th BRICS Summit on June 23 and the High-level Dialogue on Global Development on June 24. Experts said it is significant and necessary for China and other major emerging economies as well as developing countries in the BRICS Plus, that represent the majority of the international community to voice their joint stance over the current global challenges and crisis, and to boost unity to find a correct direction to realize recovery.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro attended the opening ceremony and delivered speeches virtually on Wednesday, while the offline ceremony was held at Beijing Diaoyutai State Guest House.
The attendees also called to boost economic globalization and integration while opposing sanctions and decoupling, as this is the key to realizing global recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic.
The BRICS mechanism provides a stage for the voices of developing countries to be heard, said Zhu Xufeng, executive director of the Institute for Sustainable Development Goals, Tsinghua University. Amid a shifting international landscape and global pandemic, the five countries have become a ballast for global economic development, Zhu noted.
"China is the biggest economy in the BRICS, and in order to promote the BRICS mechanism to play more effective role, China has provided the platform for fair communication and also offered public goods to the world for joint development," like the Belt and Road Initiative, and it will continually work with other partners under the BRICS and BRICS Plus mechanism to contribute more positive energy to the world in turbulence, Zhu noted.
Key for recovery
Xi said that "The BRICS mechanism is an important cooperation platform for emerging markets and developing countries. The business community is a dynamic force driving BRICS' effective cooperation."
"BRICS cooperation has now entered a new stage of high-quality development. I hope that you business leaders will continue to act with tenacity and in a pioneering spirit, and champion open, innovative and shared development so as to add new impetus to BRICS cooperation."
Xi also said China will continue to enhance opening-up and foster a business environment that is based on market principles, governed by law and up to international standards. He also encouraged businesses to invest and develop in China, enhance trade and economic cooperation, and share development opportunities.
Attendees from business circles worldwide echoed the call and said the inter-connectivity and integration is key to recovery.
Open trade is an important element of a connected world, Busi Mabuza, Chairperson of the Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa, said on Wednesday at the BRICS Business Forum.
"Trade and market openness have historically gone hand-in-hand with better economic performance in countries at all levels of development, creating new opportunities for workers, consumers, and firms around the globe and helping to lift millions out of poverty," Mabuza said.
"Integration is a golden thread of the world economy. Digitization has accelerated international integration enabling the increased flow of trade, capital, money, direct investment, technology, people, information and ideas across national boundaries. Therefore, the global economic recovery after the COVID-19 pandemic will rely on how we leverage the integration," Mabuza said.
Yousef Al-Benyan, vice Chairman and CEO of Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), said on Wednesday that "The world economy is seriously ill. Its lifeblood - international trade - has become weak, sluggish and congested. After rebounding to double-digits in 2021, the annual growth rate of trade volume is now expected to dwindle down to low single-digit rates."
"If I, who comes from outside the BRICS countries, can exemplify the increased openness that our world sorely needs, then I would be extremely satisfied with my participation here today," said Al-Benyan. Much of the world's future investment in petrochemicals is expected to end up in China. And a good portion of that will have to come from foreign direct investments (FDI), he noted.

BEIJING, Aug. 4, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- iQIYI, an innovative market-leading online entertainment service in China, is excited to dedicate a rich selection of online content and offline activities to the "Qixi" Festival, the Chinese Valentine's Day. iQIYI remains committed to delivering users with creative entertainment experiences that break the boundary between on- and offline entertainment.
A rich content ecosystem with high-quality romantic content
The latest addition to iQIYI's already rich content library, Almost Love, an iQIYI-produced romantic film that chronicles the touching romantic journey of a young couple, is set to hit cinemas nationwide on Aug. 4. Before its official premiere, Almost Love has been screened in close-door events in nearly 100 cities across China and received raving reviews. Viewers noted the heart-pricking plotline and nuanced storytelling of the film, commenting that the realistic yet thought-provoking film far exceeded their expectations.
Also to celebrate this Qixi Festival, iQIYI has set up a Qixi-themed section on the platform to feature romance-themed content such as Love The Way You Are, Forever and Ever, Moonlight, Sweet Teeth, and Love Under The Full Moon. In addition to Love The Way You Are, iQIYI's romance-themed Sweet On Theater has also announced in May the upcoming release of four additional romantic dramas—Love Between Fairy and Devil, See You Again, Mr. Bad, and Love In Time—further enriching iQIYI's already strong offering of romantic content.
Leveraging content ecology to deliver innovative entertainment experience
iQIYI's commitment to providing users with quality entertainment goes beyond the creation of premium content. The company actively explores the options afforded by the latest technology innovation as it seeks new ways to connect between the viewers and the content. On this Qixi, the Sweet On Theater makes its first appearance on Baidu's metaverse platform XiRang. With the chance to win special awards such as an iQIYI annual membership, users of the XiRang app are invited to participate in a "treasure hunt" where they could find clues connected to different Sweet On programs.
Other iQIYI-curated Qixi celebrations likewise showcase iQIYI's dedication to delivering entertainment experiences that break the online-offline boundary. For instance, the original iQIYI variety show The Rap of China 2022 and iQIYI's Sweet On Theater are hosting a contest for romantic phrases that rhyme.
iQIYI is also hosting offline activities across China to celebrate Qixi. For example, an event in Chongqing city invites couples to embrace and celebrate love as it shows the classic scenes from the Sweet On Theatre. Several shopping malls in the cities of Jiangmen of Guangdong province and Yantai of Shandong province will also feature exhibitions co-launched between the Sweet On Theater and the Hong Kong jewelry brand 3DG Jewelry. Lastly, as murder mystery games have become increasingly popular in China, users can obtain a discount for NINES, a murder mystery game shop in China, after they bookmark the Sweet On Theater on the iQIYI app.
With these online and offline activities, iQIYI is committed to providing an integrated and romantic entertainment experience for users during Qixi.

MIAMI (AP) — The premier of the British Virgin Islands, whom U.S. prosecutors described as “corrupt to the core,” was given a $500,000 bond that could see him released from prison as he awaits trial on charges tied to a U.S. narcotics sting.
In a surprise decision, federal court Judge Alicia Otazo-Reyes rejected prosecutors’ argument that Andrew Fahie may flee the U.S. and possibly engage in criminal activity if he is freed.
Instead, she said he could remain in Miami, confined to the rented apartment of his two college-age daughters, if he and his family surrender their passports and he wears an ankle bracelet monitor in addition to paying the sizable corporate surety bond.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Frederic Shadley said the government would appeal the decision, meaning it’s unclear when and if Fahie would be released.
Fahie, 51, was arrested last week at a Miami airport during a U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration sting after being given what looked like $700,000 in cash, but what was in reality fake bill notes, that were to be flown back on a private jet to the British Virgin Islands on Fahie’s behalf. Also arrested was his ports director, Oleanvine Maynard.
Fahie stood handcuffed shaking his head in disagreement as Shadley described in court how the politician had bragged in recorded conversations with a DEA informant that he had 15-20 years of criminal activity under his belt.
“Oh, no no no, not my first rodeo at all, NOT, MY FIRST RODEO, AT ALL,” Fahie can be heard laughing in the recording, according to a government filing prior to Wednesday’s bond hearing.
Posing as a member of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel, a DEA informant met on several occasions with Fahie, Maynard and Maynard’s son to discuss a deal that would send thousands of kilograms of cocaine from Colombia through the British Virgin Islands and on to Puerto Rico, Miami and New York, according to the complaint.
In exchange for bribes and 10% — or about $7.8 million — for each 3,000-kilogram (6,600-pound) load of cocaine sold in Miami, Fahie and his co-defendants allegedly agreed to provide safe passage for the drug shipments and create a network of shell companies to launder the proceeds.
“So, this is the full seven?” Fahie allegedly asked the DEA informant who accompanied him to the Miami airport where he was arrested.
According to the criminal complaint, Fahie told the DEA informant that he was close to a known drug smuggler on the Caribbean island as well as an unidentified political associate from Senegal whom he agreed to approach about smuggling firearms. In the course of those conversations, he asked the DEA informant to pay upward of $100,000 to settle a debt with the Senegalese man, the complaint says.
“He’s shown in this case that he’s corrupt to the core and believes he’s above the law,” Shadley said. “He was a public servant sworn to uphold those laws but he broke them over and over again.”
Fahie’s attorney, Theresa Van Vliet, disputed that characterization and said her client would plead not guilty when he’s arraigned later this month.
She asserted that because the British Virgin Islands are a British overseas territory, U.S. courts have no jurisdiction over Fahie.
To back up the assertion, she entered as evidence what she called a “diplomatic note,” signed by an unidentified official from the premier’s office in Road Town requesting his “immediate and unconditional release.” The request was sent to the Justice Department’s office of international affairs.
Fahie’s former allies appear to have disavowed the letter, however.
In a brief announcement Wednesday, acting Premier Natalio Wheatley said the letter was sent erroneously by a “rogue” official, and did not reflect the government’s position.
Van Vliet also presented copies of correspondence showing that the premier’s office had asked Miami International Airport to provide protocolar assistance to Fahie and his wife when they traveled to the U.S. on April 24 for “official business.”
Prior to arriving in Miami, Fahie was scheduled to travel to Barbados to attend a banking conference alongside Rep. Maxine Waters, chairwoman of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee, and other unidentified members of Congress, according to the correspondence.
While Judge Otazo-Reyes sidestepped the immunity issue, she seemed convinced by Van Vliet’s argument that Fahie’s continued detention would make it impossible for him to carry out his official duties at a critical juncture for the islands, as officials weigh suspending the territory’s constitution in an attempt to clean up rampant corruption.
“These are the most serious of duties that he could and should be performing,” said Van Vliet, the former head of the Justice Department’s narcotics division in Washington.
Even before his arrest, Fahie was under pressure from a special United Kingdom-led commission of inquiry investigating corruption on the string of islands east of Puerto Rico home to about 35,000 people.
Gov. John Rankin, who is Queen Elizabeth II’s representative to the islands and its ultimate executive authority, said the arrests prompted him to release — earlier than originally intended — the commission’s report, which concluded that officials, including allies of the premier, fraudulently spent millions of dollars on projects of no public benefit.
In a bid to clean up the government, the commission recommended suspending the islands’ constitution for two years and returning the territory to home rule by officials in London.
In an address over the weekend, Wheatley said he wants to avoid direct rule by Britain but supports working swiftly with Rankin and opposition lawmakers in the islands to address concerns about good governance.
“Direct rule is not an acceptable option to us,” Wheatley said. He said it “would undermine all the progress that our people have made over generations” since 1950, when a local legislative body was launched.
If convicted, Fahie faces a minimum of nearly 20 years in prison.

The legacy of Chief Justice John Robert’s Supreme Court has been tossed into the trash bin of history.
The leaked document indicates that five justices decided to overturn the precedent right of women to choose abortions. The term that several of the justices used during their confirmation hearings was “stare decisis” — “standing by things decided.”
Neil Gorsuch flatly stated in his hearing that Roe is settled precedent that was reaffirmed by the court several times. Beer drinker Brett Kavanaugh said in his hearing, “Senator, I said that it is settled as a precedent of the Supreme Court … and one of the important things to keep in mind about Roe v. Wade is that it has been reaffirmed many times over the past 45 years.”
During his hearing, Justice Samuel Alito said, “I think that when a decision is challenged, and it is reaffirmed that strengthens its value as stare decisis.”
At his hearing, Clarence Thomas said he never gave much thought to Roe v. Wade. Just months after his confirmation, he was suddenly an anti-abortionist.
Amy Coney Barrett, who was rushed through confirmation even though she never tried a case, was only in private practice for 2 years, and was a judge for only 5 years. During her hearing, she remained non-committal while continuously deflecting questions on Roe. These justices all raised their hands and swore to tell the truth and some of them lied under oath.
The majority have decided to implement shariah law over precedent. This court no longer deserves any respect.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- NATSO, representing truckstops and travel centers, along with SIGMA: America's Leading Fuel Marketers and the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS), urged the U.S. Department of Transportation to incentivize the nation's existing refueling locations to incorporate EV charging into their suite of fueling options as it implements the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula grant program.
The organizations representing more than 150,000 refueling locations nationwide urged the Department of Transportation to implement the NEVI grant program in a manner that does not simply invest public funds but drives policies that will positively shape the future of vehicle fast-charging markets. If federal investments are made without any effort to drive necessary policy and market reforms, or with unnecessary strings attached, the NEVI grant program will result in charging stations being placed in undesirable locations, limiting consumer interest in purchasing EVs and minimizing private companies' desire to invest in charging stations, NATSO, NACS and SIGMA said in comments filed with the U.S. DOT and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
"Retail fuel companies are capable of single-handedly eliminating range anxiety," said NATSO Executive Vice President of Government Affairs David Fialkov. "All they need is a level playing field and an opportunity to generate a modest return. EV charging availability at existing retail fuel locations will mean drivers do not need to change their refueling habits if they choose not to. They can refuel on-the-go with the same safe, reliable service and amenities that they enjoy today."
"Bringing private investment to EV charging will lead to more of the infrastructure that drivers need," said NACS General Counsel Doug Kantor. "To do that, the NEVI Program should move the country toward a competitive EV charging market with a multitude of retail businesses in all parts of the country having the opportunity to invest and earn a profit. Encouraging private investment will mean state-of-the-art chargers in convenient locations with competitive low prices alongside the types of amenities that drivers have come to expect while they refuel."
"If NEVI investments are made without any effort to drive necessary policy and market reforms, the program will result in charging stations being placed in undesirable locations and likely operated by site hosts with limited incentive to provide consumers with a positive charging experience," said SIGMA Chairman of the Board Richard Guttman. "This ultimately will dampen consumer interest in purchasing EVs as well as charging station innovation."
- Flexibly administer the requirement that states locate electric vehicle charging stations every 50 miles along designated corridors. Rather than forcing states to meet an arbitrary 50-mile requirement where it isn't feasible, U.S. DOT should ensure that states can administer the program in accordance with their specific needs, especially in rural states, working with the private sector as required by law.
- Refrain from regulating or capping revenue earned from private sector operation of a NEVI-subsidized EV charging station. Regulated utilities should be precluded from imposing exorbitant rate hikes on their monthly customers to underwrite NEVI-funded charging station investments that the private sector is willing to make.
- Establish a transparent and uniform pricing structure across the charging station network, requiring NEVI-funded charging operators to display and base the price of electrical charge in dollars per kilowatt hour. A uniform, transparent pricing structure would allow consumers to compare offerings throughout the country.
- Encourage states to allow EV charging station operators to sell electricity to EV drivers without being regulated as a utility. In many states, utilities are opposing efforts by prospective charging station operators to generate their own electricity to power their charging stations. This opposition reflects an effort by regulated utilities to undermine the case for private investment in charging stations and inhibits EV penetration.
- Require states to consider driver safety and convenience by locating chargers at sites that have on-site employees to call emergency personnel when needed and offer amenities that attract other highway travelers. Co-locating charging stations with 24/7 amenities will invariably make consumers more comfortable purchasing an EV without concern for undue safety risks when refueling.
- Avoid bureaucratic hurdles that would inadvertently depress the market for electric vehicle charging. The "Buy America" provision, for example, requires charging station equipment to be manufactured in the United States yet virtually no equipment on the market today meets the "Buy America standards." Such requirements would significantly delay charging projects.
NATSO is the trade association of America's travel plaza and truckstop industry. Founded in 1960, NATSO represents the industry on legislative and regulatory matters; serves as the official source of information on the diverse travel plaza and truckstop industry; provides education to its members; conducts an annual convention and trade show; and supports efforts to generally improve the business climate in which its members operate.

NACS has 1,900 retailer and 1,800 supplier members from more than 50 countries.
SIGMA is the national trade association representing the most successful, progressive, and innovative fuel marketers and chain retailers in the United States and Canada.

TIRANA, Albania (AP) — The European Union is working hard to convince Bulgaria and North Macedonia to end their dispute and open the way for EU membership talks for North Macedonia and Albania, a senior EU official said Thursday.
Oliver Varhelyi, the EU ’s enlargement commissioner, was visiting Tirana, the Albanian capital, on Thursday after trips to neighboring North Macedonia and Bulgaria. He said Brussels’ delay in launching EU membership negotiations with the governments in Tirana and Skopje was compromising its security and trust.
Bulgaria, which joined the EU in 2007, has blocked those talks from starting, arguing that North Macedonia has failed to honor parts of a 2017 friendship deal between the two neighboring countries.
Bulgaria wants North Macedonia to recognize an ethnic Bulgarian minority in its constitution but disputes that a Macedonian minority exists in Bulgaria.
“EU’s security is getting compromised and that is why we should do that (talks launch) now and our trust is being questioned,” said Varhelyi at a news conference with Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Hastening the process of admitting new members has taken on more urgency for the 27-nation EU following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
EU leaders gave Albania and North Macedonia the green light in 2020 to begin accession talks, although no date was set. Since the two countries’ bids are linked and launching accession talks requires unanimous approval from EU nations, the Bulgarian veto has prevented both from moving forward.
Rama has said Albania may go it alone in its efforts to launch EU membership talks.
But on Thursday Rama said his nation would wait until June before “changing our course and not wait for Bulgaria infinitely.”
The EU membership is seen as an incentive driving democratic, political and economic reforms in the volatile Balkans.
Six Western Balkan countries — Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia — are at different stages in their quest to join the EU.

Polk County fire captain faces child porn charges
LAKE WALES, Fla. (WWSB) - A Polk County fire captain as been arrested for downloading child pornography on a fire station computer, authorities said.
Polk County Sheriff’s Office detectives arrested Capt. Brian Steger, 40, and charged him with 25 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of promotion of child pornography.
Detectives got a tip Aug. 7 and responded to a fire station in Lake Wales, where Steger was on duty, a news release said. When confronted, Steger resigned rather than being fired, the release said.
Steger, who had been a firefighter since 2003, allegedly told detectives he had set up an internet account in his name at the fire station for his personal use. When detectives found the computer, it was actively downloading pornographic files, deputies said.
Detectives found 25 files depicting children as young as 5 years old being sexually battered, the sheriff’s office said.
All of his electronic devices were seized by investigators. Steger is currently in the Polk County Jail and has no bond.

Dupixent is the first and only biologic that significantly improved skin clearance, and reduced itch and overall disease severity in children as young as 6 months old in a Phase 3 trial
Published results reinforce well-established efficacy and safety profile of Dupixent across age groups
TARRYTOWN, N.Y. and PARIS, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REGN) and Sanofi today announced that The Lancet has published positive results from a Phase 3 Dupixent® (dupilumab) trial in children aged 6 months to 5 years with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. These data were the basis for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of Dupixent in June 2022 and for a regulatory submission currently under review by the European Medicines Agency.
"The Lancet's publication of these Phase 3 results is a testament to the significance of the data showing dupilumab can alleviate the multidimensional burden that moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis places on infants, toddlers and their families," said Amy S. Paller, M.D., Walter J. Hamlin Professor and Chair of Dermatology and Professor of Pediatrics at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, and principal investigator of the trial. "By addressing the key inflammatory pathway driving atopic dermatitis, the trial demonstrated that dupilumab not only addressed debilitating symptoms like persistent itch and skin lesions, but also meaningfully improved sleep and reduced pain – two aspects of daily life that are critical for any child's development and well-being."
Data from this trial showed that adding Dupixent to low-potency topical corticosteroids (TCS) significantly improved skin clearance and reduced overall disease severity and itch compared to TCS alone (placebo) at 16 weeks. Additionally, Dupixent patients experienced significant improvement in measures of sleep quality and skin pain, as well as patient- or caregiver-reported outcomes and health-related quality of life. A substantially lower proportion of Dupixent patients needed rescue medications, compared to those on placebo.
Safety results through 16 weeks were similar to the safety profile in patients 6 years and older with atopic dermatitis. Adverse events that were more commonly observed with Dupixent (≥5%) included conjunctivitis (5% Dupixent, 0% placebo), herpes viral infections (6% Dupixent, 5% placebo), molluscum contagiosum (5% Dupixent, 3% placebo), rhinorrhea (5% Dupixent, 1% placebo) and dental caries (5% Dupixent, 0% placebo).
The safety and efficacy of Dupixent in children 6 months to 5 years of age with uncontrolled atopic dermatitis has not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority outside the U.S.
About Atopic Dermatitis
Atopic dermatitis is a chronic type 2 inflammatory skin disease. Eighty-five to ninety percent of patients first develop symptoms before 5 years of age, which can often continue through adulthood. Symptoms include intense, persistent itch and skin lesions that cover much of the body, resulting in skin dryness, cracking, pain, redness or darkening, and crusting and oozing. In the U.S., more than 75,000 children aged 5 years and younger have uncontrolled moderate-to-severe disease and are most in need of new treatment options. Moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis may also significantly impact the quality of life of a young child and their caregivers. Current treatment options in this age group are primarily topical steroids, which can be associated with safety risks and may impair growth when used long-term.
About the Dupixent Trial
The Phase 3 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of Dupixent added to standard-of-care low-potency TCS compared to low-potency TCS alone in 162 children aged 6 months to 5 years with uncontrolled moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis. Patients treated with Dupixent received either 200 mg or 300 mg (based on weight) every four weeks.
The primary endpoints assessed the proportion of patients achieving an Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) and at least a 75% improvement in Eczema Area and Severity Index (EASI-75) at week 16.
Secondary endpoints further assessed disease measures and quality of life. Disease measures included additional EASI outcomes, itch reduction, percent of body surface area affected, skin pain, disease severity as measured by the Patient Oriented Eczema Measure, as well as SCORing Atopic Dermatitis measuring a combined assessment of disease area and severity, itch and sleep. Quality of life measures were assessed for children (by Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index for children aged 4 to 17 years and Infants' Dermatitis Quality of Life Index for children less than 4 years of age) and families (by the Dermatitis Family Impact questionnaire), as well as sleep quality.
Children who completed the trial were eligible to enroll in an open-label extension to assess the safety and efficacy of long-term treatment with Dupixent in this age group.
About Dupixent
Dupixent, which was invented using Regeneron's proprietary VelocImmune® technology, is a fully human monoclonal antibody that inhibits the signaling of the interleukin-4 (IL-4) and interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathways and is not an immunosuppressant. The Dupixent development program has shown significant clinical benefit and a decrease in type 2 inflammation in Phase 3 trials, establishing that IL-4 and IL-13 are key and central drivers of the type 2 inflammation that plays a major role in multiple related and often co-morbid diseases. These diseases include approved indications for Dupixent such as asthma, atopic dermatitis, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) and eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), as well as investigational diseases such as prurigo nodularis.
Dupixent has received regulatory approvals around the world for use in certain patients with atopic dermatitis, asthma, CRSwNP or EoE in different age populations. Dupixent is currently approved across these indications in the U.S. and for one or more of these indications in more than 60 countries, including in the European Union and Japan. More than 500,000 patients have been treated with Dupixent globally.
About Regeneron's VelocImmune Technology
Regeneron's VelocImmune technology utilizes a proprietary genetically engineered mouse platform endowed with a genetically humanized immune system to produce optimized fully human antibodies. When Regeneron's co-Founder, President and Chief Scientific Officer George D. Yancopoulos was a graduate student with his mentor Frederick W. Alt in 1985, they were the first to envision making such a genetically humanized mouse, and Regeneron has spent decades inventing and developing VelocImmune and related VelociSuite® technologies. Dr. Yancopoulos and his team have used VelocImmune technology to create approximately one in five of all original, FDA-approved or authorized fully human monoclonal antibodies. This includes REGEN-COV® (casirivimab and imdevimab), Dupixent, Libtayo® (cemiplimab-rwlc), Praluent® (alirocumab), Kevzara® (sarilumab), Evkeeza® (evinacumab-dgnb) and Inmazeb™ (atoltivimab, maftivimab and odesivimab-ebgn).
Dupilumab Development Program
Dupilumab is being jointly developed by Regeneron and Sanofi under a global collaboration agreement. To date, dupilumab has been studied across more than 60 clinical trials involving more than 10,000 patients with various chronic diseases driven in part by type 2 inflammation.
In addition to the currently approved indications, Regeneron and Sanofi are studying dupilumab in a broad range of diseases driven by type 2 inflammation or other allergic processes in Phase 3 trials, including prurigo nodularis, pediatric eosinophilic esophagitis, hand and foot atopic dermatitis, chronic inducible urticaria-cold, chronic spontaneous urticaria, chronic pruritis of unknown origin, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with evidence of type 2 inflammation, chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis and bullous pemphigoid. These potential uses of dupilumab are currently under clinical investigation, and the safety and efficacy in these conditions have not been fully evaluated by any regulatory authority.
U.S. Indications
DUPIXENT is a prescription medicine used:
- to treat adults and children 6 months of age and older with moderate-to-severe atopic dermatitis (eczema) that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin (topical), or who cannot use topical therapies. DUPIXENT can be used with or without topical corticosteroids. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with atopic dermatitis under 6 months of age.
- with other asthma medicines for the maintenance treatment of moderate-to-severe eosinophilic or oral steroid dependent asthma in adults and children 6 years of age and older whose asthma is not controlled with their current asthma medicines. DUPIXENT helps prevent severe asthma attacks (exacerbations) and can improve your breathing. DUPIXENT may also help reduce the amount of oral corticosteroids you need while preventing severe asthma attacks and improving your breathing. DUPIXENT is not used to treat sudden breathing problems. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with asthma under 6 years of age.
- with other medicines for the maintenance treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) in adults whose disease is not controlled. It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis under 18 years of age.
- to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older, who weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg), with eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). It is not known if DUPIXENT is safe and effective in children with eosinophilic esophagitis under 12 years of age and who weigh at least 88 pounds (40 kg).
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Do not use if you are allergic to dupilumab or to any of the ingredients in DUPIXENT®.
Before using DUPIXENT, tell your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:
- have eye problems.
- have a parasitic (helminth) infection.
- are scheduled to receive any vaccinations. You should not receive a "live vaccine" right before and during treatment with DUPIXENT.
- are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not known whether DUPIXENT will harm your unborn baby.
- are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known whether DUPIXENT passes into your breast milk.
Tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the- counter medicines, vitamins and herbal supplements.
Especially tell your healthcare provider if you are taking oral, topical, or inhaled corticosteroid medicines; have asthma and use an asthma medicine; or have atopic dermatitis CRSwNP, or EoE, and also have asthma. Do not change or stop your corticosteroid medicine or other asthma medicine without talking to your healthcare provider. This may cause other symptoms that were controlled by the corticosteroid medicine or other asthma medicine to come back.
DUPIXENT can cause serious side effects, including:
- Allergic reactions. DUPIXENT can cause allergic reactions that can sometimes be severe. Stop using DUPIXENT and tell your healthcare provider or get emergency help right away if you get any of the following signs or symptoms: breathing problems or wheezing, swelling of the face, lips, mouth, tongue or throat, fainting, dizziness, feeling lightheaded, fast pulse, fever, hives, joint pain, general ill feeling, itching, skin rash, swollen lymph nodes, nausea or vomiting, or cramps in your stomach-area.
- Eye problems. Tell your healthcare provider if you have any new or worsening eye problems, including eye pain or changes in vision, such as blurred vision. Your healthcare provider may send you to an ophthalmologist for an exam if needed.
- Inflammation of your blood vessels. Rarely, this can happen in people with asthma who receive DUPIXENT. This may happen in people who also take a steroid medicine by mouth that is being stopped or the dose is being lowered. It is not known whether this is caused by DUPIXENT. Tell your healthcare provider right away if you have: rash, chest pain, worsening shortness of breath, a feeling of pins and needles or numbness of your arms or legs, or persistent fever.
- Joint aches and pain. Some people who use DUPIXENT have had trouble walking or moving due to their joint symptoms, and in some cases needed to be hospitalized. Tell your healthcare provider about any new or worsening joint symptoms. Your healthcare provider may stop DUPIXENT if you develop joint symptoms.
The most common side effects include:
- Atopic dermatitis: injection site reactions, eye and eyelid inflammation, including redness, swelling, and itching, sometimes with blurred vision, cold sores in your mouth or on your lips, and high count of a certain white blood cell (eosinophilia).
- Asthma: injection site reactions, pain in the throat (oropharyngeal pain), high count of a certain white blood cell (eosinophilia), and parasitic (helminth) infections.
- Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis: injection site reactions, eye and eyelid inflammation, including redness, swelling, and itching, sometimes with blurred vision, high count of a certain white blood cell (eosinophilia), trouble sleeping (insomnia), toothache, gastritis, and joint pain (arthralgia).
- Eosinophilic esophagitis: injection site reactions, upper respiratory tract infections, cold sores in your mouth or on your lips, and joint pain (arthralgia).
Tell your healthcare provider if you have any side effect that bothers you or that does not go away.
These are not all the possible side effects of DUPIXENT. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit www.fda.gov/medwatch, or call 1-800-FDA-1088.
Use DUPIXENT exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It's an injection given under the skin (subcutaneous injection). Your healthcare provider will decide if you or your caregiver can inject DUPIXENT. Do not try to prepare and inject DUPIXENT until you or your caregiver have been trained by your healthcare provider. In children 12 years of age and older, it's recommended DUPIXENT be administered by or under supervision of an adult. In children under 12 years of age, DUPIXENT should be given by a caregiver.

Crews locate bodies of 2 men who tried to save Milwaukee boy
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The bodies of two men who went into a rain-swollen drainage ditch in Milwaukee to try to save a 10-year-old boy have been recovered.
They were found Thursday, three days after the three people were swept into a tunnel that runs under a road. It happened shortly after a storm dropped heavy rainfall.
The body of the boy, identified as Mohammed Roshidulcah, of Milwaukee, was recovered Tuesday about a mile and a half downstream from the tunnel’s exit. Police say he ran into the ravine chasing after a soccer ball, police said.
The bodies of the child’s father and a family friend, both of whom followed the boy into the drainage ditch, were discovered several miles downstream of the tunnel.

BEIJING, Aug. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Maoyan Entertainment ("Maoyan" or the "Company", 1896.HK), a leading platform providing innovative Internet empowered entertainment services in China, today announced its audited consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

- Gross profit was RMB622.4 million, compared with RMB1,045.5 million in the first half year of 2021.

- Adjusted net profit[1] was RMB233.7 million, compared with RMB484.2 million in the first half of 2021.
BUSINESS REVIEW
In the first half of 2022, the entertainment industry faced immense difficulties and challenges due to the resurgence of COVID-19 pandemic. We continued to refine our operations to deliver high-quality products and services and achieved industry-leading performance in both the number of and box office of the movies in which we participated in the first half of 2022. In addition to our abundant content reserves in our pipeline, many movies in which we participated are expected to be released within 2022. Besides, our online entertainment ticketing services remained stable, while our other business lines are maturing. We have enhanced our business resilience and further demonstrated our profitability capability.
Entertainment Content Services
In the first half of 2022, the total box office for the China's movie market decreased by 37.68% to RMB17.18 billion, compared with the same period last year, resulting from the severe impact brought by the pandemic. In particular, from March to May, with the average operating rate of movie cinemas nationwide once dropping to below 50%, the gross box office suffered a year-over-year drop of about 80%. At the same time, certain movies slated for screening had to be rescheduled or postponed.
Despite the headwinds, we made continuous efforts in cultivating movie content and improving our operational capabilities, and we achieved industry-leading performances in both the number of and box office sales for the movies that Maoyan produced/distributed. During the reporting period, Maoyan participated in the production/distribution of 15 movies, including 6 of which the Company acted as a lead distributor. The percentage of the total gross of our participated movies to China's movie box office in first half of this year has recovered to almost the same level in the same period of 2019. In addition, we continued to enhance our involvement in the top-tier movies released during major seasons. For example, we participated in Embrace Again (穿過寒冬擁抱你) and G Storm (反貪風暴 5:最終章), which ranked first and second, respectively, at the box office during the New Year's Day season. Moreover, we participated in 3 movies among the top 5 in terms of the box office in the Spring Festival season. Among which, "Too Cool To Kill (這個殺手不太冷靜)", for which we acted as both the producer and lead distributor, achieved total box office sales of RMB2.63 billion.
Since June 2022, the pandemic has stabilized, and the operating rate of movie theatres has gradually recovered to over 80%. Maoyan is well positioned to proceed with all our participated projects with abundant reserves of rich and diverse content. For example, movies where Maoyan has served as the producer/distributor, such as My Blue Summer (暗戀•橘生淮南), Lighting Up The Stars (人生大事), Moon Man (獨行月球) and Warriors of Future (明日戰記), have already been released in succession. Others include Belle (雀斑公主), Give Me Five (哥,你好), The Procurator (檢察風雲), Post Truth (保你平安), Too Beautiful To Lie (請別相信她), Journey to the West (宇宙探索編輯部), High Forces (危機航線), The Tipping Point (掃黑行動), Better Man (絕望主夫), Victimes (被害人), Who's the Suspect (拯救嫌疑人) and Full River Red (滿江紅) have either been scheduled for release or are in the process of being scheduled.
During the reporting period, we also produced a number of premier TV series and online movies. For example, Out of Court (庭外), our self-produced legal drama TV series, was released exclusively on Youku in July 2022 and achieved excellent reputation. We also participated in Hello, The Sharpshooter (你好,神槍手), Leverage (槓桿) and Babel (通天塔), which have been broadcast on different platforms, and all performed very well. In addition, The King of Hot GUO (火鍋之王), another online movie, for which we participated in the production, will be scheduled to be released soon.
Furthermore, leveraging our considerable and professional experience in promotion and distribution and our fine-tuned service matrix, many of our products and tools have been widely recognized by industry partners and increased in popularity. For example, during the reporting period, the projects served by our promotion and distribution products, such as "Cloud Block Booking" (雲包場) and "Lead Appreciation" (助力主創), maintained an encouraging growth momentum. In particular, "Cloud Block Booking" (雲包場) has been used by almost all domestic movies grossing over RMB100 million in box office. Furthermore, our promotion and distribution products further demonstrated their impressive commercial value. Deeply cooperating with hundreds of influential creators and thousands of incubated Key Opinion Consumers (KOC), our content marketing team provided quality marketing services to nearly 80% of the movies with over RMB100 million in box office during the reporting period. We also launched a variety of innovative promotion and distribution tools, such as "Box Office Estimates by Media" (第三方媒體超前票房預測) and "Same-period Performance Comparison" (同檔期對比), aiming to actively help improve the industry's level of refinement and efficiency of distribution.
Online Entertainment Ticketing Services
During the reporting period, we continued to enhance our platform's service capacity and further optimized the ticketing system; combined with our reasonable cost and expense control initiatives, we successfully maintained our industry-leading position. Meanwhile, we have proactively tracked the industry's needs, striving to provide all-round assistance and support for the development and recovery of the industry. We helped more than 70% of the movie cinemas nationwide improve their customer acquisition efficiency through our services, including membership promotions and package sales. Besides, acting as an exclusive ticketing provider for the 12th Beijing International Film Festival (第十二屆北京國際電影節), we offer the audiences with premier ticketing services. Since June, as the movie market has been gradually recovering, our movie ticketing business has been picking up accordingly. Moving forward, with constant effort on the operation and service capability cultivation, we are committed to continuously upgrading audiences' experience and consumption vitality while providing our industry partners with better services.
As an important market player, we made steady progress in our live entertainment business, expanding the offering categories and refining operation efficiency. Especially, we focused on cultivation in the emerging local entertainment categories, including talk shows, cross talks, immersive theaters, exhibitions, family shows, music festivals. During the reporting period, the GMV of our live entertainment business recovered to over 80% for the same period last year. In addition, we achieved breakthrough growth in some verticals, such as talk shows, family shows and immersive theaters. Among these, the GMV of our talk shows tripled compared with the same period last year. Furthermore, we have actively been exploring new forms of entertainment catering to the young generation and achieved steady progress in many projects we engaged as a producer. For example, we developed a series of shows, including "The Grand Theater" (玩味放映廳), "The Grand Museum" (玩味博物館) and "The Grand Music" (玩味音律)", following our success of "The Grand Expedition" (玩味探險家), an immersive food interactive drama, which achieved excellent performance in both box office and market reputation. Besides that, we have completed the initial preparation for a new Maoyan-produced immersive gaming drama "Dream Cruise" (明珠傳奇), and it will debut at an appropriate time.
Advertisement Services and Others
During the reporting period, we constantly improved our operational capability and efficiency, and continued to enhance our commercialization ability. Considering the distinct characters of different movies and the changing market conditions, we launched a variety of rich and innovative promotion campaigns. Meanwhile, we enhanced our distribution capability by further expanding our promotion and distribution channels. Currently, we have established deep cooperations with many high-quality platforms, such as Weibo, Douban and Xiaohongshu. The total users of Maoyan mini-program ecosystem, covering WeChat, Weibo, Douyin, Baidu and Kuaishou, etc., have exceeded 600 million. Moving forward, we will continue to leverage our capabilities of the full-channel marketing and industry's leading platform, and provide matrixed and customized services for the promotion and marketing of film and TV projects.
Our Maoyan Research Institute continued to improve the data service capabilities and conducted extensive research on various themes. We also extended our research services to IP studies, including adaption, development and testing of IP. In addition, through profound analysis on market conditions and successful movies during the pandemic, we released various in-depth research reports, including pandemic-related reports, which provided our industry partners with valuable market information and insights into industry development trends.
OUTLOOK
Benefiting from the effective control of the pandemic in China, business resumption across all fields is progressing steadily. The operating rate of movie theatres in China has recovered to more than 80% in early June. As of the date of this announcement, the summer-holiday box office has reached about RMB7.9 billion, which exceeded the same-period box office in last year. We maintain our full confidence in the market's recovery.
In a complex and changing market environment, we will continue to grow and develop within the pan-entertainment industry with the firm execution of our core strategy of "technology + pan-entertainment". Through mining and producing high quality content with a positive social value proposition, combined with enhanced infrastructure and service capability, we expect to further unlock Maoyan's value in the industry. Meanwhile, we will constantly explore new initiatives, develop diverse growth drivers and optimize our layout of pan-entertainment industrial chain. Furthermore, by further enhancing and utilizing the synergy among our business lines, we will be able to maintain risk resistance capabilities and capture the market growth opportunities following the industry's recovery, further enhancing our competitive advantages.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Walgreens can be held responsible for contributing to San Francisco’s opioid crisis for over-dispensing highly addictive drugs for years without proper oversight and failing to identify and report suspicious orders as required by law.
San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu said the pharmacy chain “continually violated what they were required to do under the federal Controlled Substances Act,” failing to track opioid prescriptions, preventing pharmacists from vetting prescriptions and “nor did they see the many red flags of physicians and others who were dramatically over-prescribing.”
“Pharmacists were pressured to fill, fill, fill,” he said, “and as a result, Walgreens filled our streets with opioids.”
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer wrote in his decision that from 2006 to 2020, “Walgreens pharmacies in San Francisco dispensed hundreds of thousands of red flag opioid prescriptions without performing adequate due diligence. Tens of thousands of these prescriptions were written by doctors with suspect prescribing patterns. The evidence showed that Walgreens did not provide its pharmacists with sufficient time, staffing, or resources to perform due diligence on these prescriptions.”
He said the large volume of illegitimate opioid prescriptions contributed to the city’s hospitals being overwhelmed with opioid patients, libraries being forced to close because of syringe-clogged toilets, and syringes littering children’s playgrounds in San Francisco.
A Walgreens spokesman said the chain is disappointed in the outcome, which he said is not supported by the facts and the law.
“As we have said throughout this process, we never manufactured or marketed opioids, nor did we distribute them to the ‘pill mills’ and internet pharmacies that fueled this crisis,” spokesman Fraser Engerman said in a statement. “The plaintiff’s attempt to resolve the opioid crisis with an unprecedented expansion of public nuisance law is misguided and unsustainable. We look forward to the opportunity to address these issues on appeal.”
San Francisco in 2018 sued Walgreens and drug manufacturers and distributors over the city’s worsening opioid epidemic, saying they created a “public nuisance” by flooding the city with prescription opioids. All the other defendants previously settled with the city for a total of $114 million, including $54 million that opioid makers Allergan and Teva agreed to pay on the eve of closing arguments in the trial, leaving Walgreens as the sole defendant.
Wednesday’s ruling did not include a ruling on monetary damages, which will be determined in a future trial.
The opioid epidemic has been linked to more than 500,000 deaths in the U.S. over the past two decades, counting those from prescription painkillers such as OxyContin and generic oxycodone as well as illicit drugs such as heroin and illegally produced fentanyl.
The surge in deaths has led to more than 3,000 lawsuits filed by state and local governments, Native American tribes, unions, hospitals and other entities in state and federal courts over the toll of opioids. In San Francisco, Mayor London Breed declared a state of emergency last year in the Tenderloin neighborhood, saying something had to be done about the high concentration of drug dealers and people consuming drugs in public.
The city attorney’s office says San Francisco saw a nearly 500% increase in opioid-related overdose deaths between 2015 and 2020 and that on a typical day, roughly a quarter of visits at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital Emergency Department are opioid-related.
In 2020, 712 people died of drug overdoses, compared with 257 people who died of COVID-19, according to the city health department.
A high percentage of an estimated 7,800 homeless people in San Francisco — many of whom pitch tents in the Tenderloin — are struggling with chronic addiction or severe mental illness, often both. Some people rant in the streets, nude and in need of medical help.
Pharmacy chains have been sued less often than opioid makers or wholesalers that distribute pharmaceuticals more broadly. In one groundbreaking case, a federal jury in Ohio last year found CVS, Walgreens and Walmart recklessly distributed massive amounts of pain pills in two Ohio counties.
In May, Walgreens reached a $683 million settlement with the state of Florida in a lawsuit accusing the company of improperly dispensing millions of painkillers that contributed to the opioid crisis. Walgreens did not admit wrongdoing in its agreement with Florida and will make payments to the state over 18 years.
The company also faces litigation in Alabama, Michigan and New Mexico, among other states.
Deerfield, Illinois-based Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. runs a network of around 9,000 drugstores in the United States. Walgreens and other prescription drug distributors have faced a slew of lawsuits over the opioid crisis.

New software system Smart Response is powered by Anomaly's breakthrough claim prediction engine, which predicts actionable denials with greater than 97% precision
NEW YORK, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Anomaly, a precision payments company streamlining healthcare billing and payments for providers and payers, today announced its new offering Anomaly Smart Response.
Smart Response uses AI to enable providers and payers to reduce avoidable claim denials and rework and increase payment transparency, top priorities for healthcare stakeholders. The product gives providers a real-time response predicting actionable denials and payment amounts—so providers can correct and avoid denials before they occur. Smart Response operates directly within providers' native workflows by integrating with payers, practice management software and claims clearinghouses.
Smart Response is powered by Anomaly's breakthrough AI claim prediction engine. The engine analyzes thousands of parameters and billions of claims to learn payer-specific rules and nuances for each provider. By continuously analyzing data in real-time, Smart Response stays up-to-date and automatically adapts to changing trends and new payer rules. Smart Response accurately predicts claim line denials and reasons with over 97% precision, based on an analysis of over $100 billion of billed charges through June 2022. The engine is focused on actionable denial scenarios, and is able to achieve this best-in-class level of precision for up to half of total denials (recall) across thousands of payers, all 50 states, and all lines of business (Commercial, Medicare, and Medicaid). Anomaly plans to extend its engine to predict final payment amounts (real-time adjudication) and patient responsibilities, which will further increase transparency in the payment process for all stakeholders.
Industry reports and Anomaly's analysis have found that more than 10% of claims are typically denied, a growing problem tied to increasing billing complexity alongside value-based care and disruptions such as COVID-19. Denials and associated rework cause payment delays and contribute to burnout amongst overstretched providers and staff. At the same time, the issue of denials and appeals drives unnecessary administrative costs for payers and abrasion with their provider network and members—especially for the significant percentage of denied claims that eventually get paid. Ultimately patients are often caught in the middle, causing added stress from denial notices or even balance bills.
"Smart Response is a natural extension of Anomaly's predictive AI engine and fits within our core mission to bring unprecedented precision and transparency to healthcare payments," said Jacob Shiff, co-founder and CEO of Anomaly. "Using AI to analyze information from billions of claims, Smart Response provides real-time, actionable insights so providers and payers can avoid unnecessary cost and abrasion from denials and rework, and patients can get the care they deserve."
Smart Response complements Anomaly's planned suite of products powered by its AI claim prediction engine, including overpayment prediction, which enables payers to predict and prevent overpayments by learning from previously overpaid claims, and instant payments, which will enable providers to immediately get paid upon claim submission.
Anomaly recently raised $17 million to grow its team, invest further in product development, and expand its market presence.
Anomaly is a billing and payments platform that uses artificial intelligence to enable fast, accurate healthcare payments—reducing costs and complexity. Founded in 2020 and led by a team of top engineers, billing and payment integrity experts and healthcare industry veterans, Anomaly reduces friction between payers and providers by ensuring precise payments and seamless claims adjudication. The company is headquartered in New York City, and is backed by Redesign Health and leading investors RRE, Link Ventures, Madrona, and Declaration Partners.

GRAPHIC: Woman suffers shark bite during family vacation: ‘There was a shark on my arm’
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WPDE) - A Pennsylvania woman is recovering after suffering a shark bite while vacationing in South Carolina.
The Sites family said they were just starting their vacation in Myrtle Beach when their trip took a shocking turn.
“I felt something bite me. I looked down and there was a shark on my arm,” Karen Sites said. “I was only in the water up to my waist, and I kept pushing at it until it let go.”
Karen Sites’ grandson, 8-year-old Brian Sites, said he was nearby when the shark bite happened.
“I couldn’t even see the shark coming up; it jumped up,” Brian Sites said. “I saw the movement of its tail and then it went back into the water.”
Karen Sites said she was taken to a hospital and underwent surgery before receiving hundreds of stitches.
“It’s very clearly a shark bite when you look at the arc of the tooth marks and the damage,” said Daniel Abel, professor of marine science at Coastal Carolina University. “My sympathies to the victim. That’s a horrendous thing to go through.”
Abel said shark bites are rare, but shark sightings are not uncommon this time of year and beachgoers should take some precautions.
“Don’t swim at dawn or dusk. There are not many people in the water and some sharks are closer to the shoreline for feeding,” Abel said. “Don’t swim where there are schools of small fish or near where people are fishing.”
Sites said her shark encounter would not keep her from enjoying the beach in the future as she continues her recovery.

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. inflation is showing signs of entering a more stubborn phase that will likely require drastic action by the Federal Reserve, a shift that has panicked financial markets and heightens the risks of a recession.
Some of the longtime drivers of higher inflation — spiking gas prices, supply chain snarls, soaring used-car prices — are fading. Yet underlying measures of inflation are actually worsening.
The ongoing evolution of the forces behind an inflation rate that’s near a four-decade high has made it harder for the Fed to wrestle it under control. Prices are no longer rising because a few categories have skyrocketed in cost. Instead, inflation has now spread more widely through the economy, fueled by a strong job market that is boosting paychecks, forcing companies to raise prices to cover higher labor costs and giving more consumers the wherewithal to spend.
On Tuesday, the government said inflation ticked up 0.1% from July to August and 8.3% from a year ago, which was down from June’s four-decade high of 9.1%
But excluding the volatile categories of food and energy, so-called core prices jumped by an unexpectedly sharp 0.6% from July to August, after a milder 0.3% rise the previous month. The Fed monitors core prices closely, and the latest figures heightened fears of an even more aggressive Fed and sent stocks plunging, with the Dow Jones collapsing more than 1,200 points.
The core price figures solidified worries that inflation has now spread into all corners of the economy.
“One of the most remarkable things is how broad-based the price gains are,” said Matthew Luzzetti, chief U.S. economist at Deutsche Bank. “The underlying trend in inflation certainly has not shown any progress toward moderating so far. And that should be a worry to the Fed because the price gains have become increasingly demand-driven, and therefore likely to be more persistent.”
Demand-driven inflation is one way to say that consumers, who account for nearly 70% of economic growth, keep spending, even if they resent having to pay more. In part, that is because of widespread income gains and in part because many Americans still have more savings than they did before the pandemic, after having postponed spending on vacations, entertainment, and restaurants.
When inflation is driven mainly by demand, it can require more drastic action from the Fed than when it’s driven mainly by supply shocks, such as an oil supply disruption, which can often resolve on their own.
Economists fear that the only way for the Fed to slow robust consumer demand is to raise interest rates so high as to sharply increase unemployment and potentially cause a recession. Typically, as fear of layoffs rises, not only do the jobless reduce spending. So, too, do the many people who fear losing their jobs.
Some economists now think the Fed will have to raise its benchmark short-term rate much higher, to 4.5% or above, by early next year, more than previous estimates of 4%. (The Fed’s key rate is now in a range of 2.25% to 2.5%.) Higher rates from the Fed would, in turn, lead to higher costs for mortgages, auto loans and business loans.
The Fed is widely expected to raise its benchmark short-term rate by a substantial three-quarters of a point next week for a third consecutive time. Tuesday’s inflation report even led some analysts to speculate that the central bank could announce a full percentage point hike. If it did, that would amount to the largest increase since the Fed began using short-term rates in the early 1990s to guide consumer and business borrowing.
Even though headline inflation barely rose last month, underlying inflation, which reflects broader economic trends, worsened. A measure that the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland uses to track median inflation, which essentially ignores categories with the biggest price swings, rose 0.7% in August. That was the biggest monthly increase since records began in 1983.
Higher prices have yet to cause much of what economists call “demand destruction” — a pullback in spending that could quell inflation. Though higher gas prices have caused Americans to drive less, there isn’t much evidence of significant cutbacks elsewhere.
Restaurant prices, for example, jumped 0.9% in August and have risen 8% in the past year. But that hasn’t noticeably discouraged people from going out. Restaurant traffic has surpassed pre-pandemic levels on Open Table, an app that tracks reservations, and was still increasing into September.
Overall, consumers have largely kept up their spending, even with rampant inflation, though perhaps through gritted teeth. In July, spending rose 0.2% after adjusting for higher prices.
The spread of inflation into services, such as rental costs and health care, largely reflects the impact of higher wages. Hospitals and doctors’ offices have to pay more for nurses and other staff. And as more Americans find jobs or get raises, they’re able to move out from family homes or split from roommates. Rental costs have increased 6.7% in the past year, the most since 1986.
Wages and salaries jumped 6.7% in August from a year earlier, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta’s wage tracker, the biggest increase in nearly 40 years. And Luzzetti noted that the same data shows a record wage premium for people who switch jobs, compared with those who stay put. That means employers are still offering big raises to try to fill jobs.
Economists had hoped that rising services prices would be offset by falling costs for goods such as new and used cars, furniture, and clothing, after those items spiked in the pandemic. As supply chain backups improved, a better flow of such goods were expected to bring prices down.
Yet so far, that hasn’t happened.
“We’ve seen shipping costs come down, we’ve seen supply chain congestion ease a little bit, production has improved and inventories have risen,” said Laura Rosner-Warburton, senior economist at MacroPolicy Perspectives. “So all of that suggests some supply side improvement. And yet companies are still putting through large price increases for those goods, and that’s problematic.”
Such trends could renew the debate over how much corporations’ ability to raise prices has been fueled by a lack of competition, a phenomenon referred to as “greedflation.” But most economists attribute the ability of companies to still charge more to consumers’ willingness to pay.
“It appears that retailers are now raising prices because they can, not because they have to. Consumer demand is still too strong,” said Aneta Markowska, chief economist at Jefferies, an investment bank, in a research note.

New Original Web Series Features Relatable Conversations with Influencer Parents and Social Media Stars About Their Newborn Sleep Journeys
PITTSBURGH, June 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- No baby's sleep journey is the same – the only thing they have in common is lots of twists, turns, and bumps along the way! Parents often feel guilty or that they're failing when it comes to sleep, which is why 4moms created Sleepversity – a free, online web series that highlights the diversity of parents' newborn sleep experiences to help educate, support, and empower other parents navigating the same early months of their baby's life.
4moms Sleepversity Web Series
Sleepversity is an original web series hosted by Carolynne J. Harvey, certified pediatric sleep coach and founder of Dream Baby Sleep®. In each 15-minute episode, Carolynne will sit down with a new parent influencer for an open dialogue about their sleep journey and related questions. The series will tackle a variety of sleep-related topics – from postpartum anxiety and ways to ensure safe sleep, to handling sleep deprivation while recovering from delivery, to preparing for sleep regressions, and using the latest sleep tools and products – and will feature influencers with incredible stories including:
- Bryan and Chris Lambillotte: working gay dads with newborn twins
- Wendy Nguyen: a well-known NYC fashion blogger and first-time mother
- Chelsea Neubauer: a first-time mom with "twiblings" two months apart (via IVF and surrogacy)
- Bailey Daughenbaugh: a TikTok-famous mother of four who just welcomed her first girl
- Johnetta Lafond: a mom who was told she would never be able to have children and recently gave birth to her sixth
The series will launch on June 27, 2022, with new episodes premiering through the end of October on 4moms' YouTube channel.
You're Invited to 4moms' Sleep Club
Each episode will premiere via a live Zoom "Sleep Club" virtual event, co-hosted by Carolynne, 4moms, and each featured influencer. Viewers can watch the new episode, play trivia, and get their own sleep related questions answered by 4moms' panel of experts. The first 50 viewers to register for each Sleep Club will also receive an amazing parenting & sleep-themed swag bag.
In celebration of Pride month and Father's Day, 4moms will premiere its first Sleepversity episode, featuring Bryan and Chris Lambillotte's (@itsbryanandchris on TikTok) journey with surrogacy and their newborn twins on Monday, June 27 at 7pm EST. Viewers can register for the first Sleep Club event at bit.ly/sleepversityBC.
"Understanding baby's sleep is a complex but crucial skill, allowing new parents to truly enjoy the early months of their babies' lives and help them thrive. But, something we often hear from parents is that overly prescriptive, rigid methods often don't serve their needs and actually makes parents doubt themselves and feel more alone," said Debbie Lee, CMO at 4moms. "We designed this series to illustrate that there are many approaches to newborn sleep, and to help parents – from first-timers to experienced and everything in between – feel supported and empowered."
4moms MamaRoo Sleep Bassinet
Knowing that there's no one-size-fits-all solution for newborn sleep, 4moms designed the MamaRoo® Sleep Bassinet as a customizable tool for their baby's sleep journey, helping lead to restful nights and napping success. Sleepversity will also shed light on how parents can use the bassinet throughout their own unique journeys.
The award-winning bassinet is a parent-activated sleep tool that integrates the proven motions of the MamaRoo® Multi-Motion Baby Swing, which has helped calm and soothe more than a million babies, into a safe, flat sleeping environment. The bassinet's gentle, natural swaying motions mimic a parent's movement to help their baby fall – and stay – asleep longer. It features five unique motions (car ride, wave, kangaroo, tree swing, and rock-a-bye), and five speed options. It also includes four, built-in white noises (rain, ocean, fan and a shush). Parents can easily control all of these functions via the 4moms app on their phone.

(The Hill) – Media personality Joe Rogan said that he has passed on multiple opportunities to have former President Trump on his popular podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
During an appearance on the “Lex Fridman Podcast” released on Monday, Rogan told host Lex Fridman that he wasn’t a supporter of the former president, adding that he refused to help him expand his platform.
“By the way, I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form. I’ve had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once — I’ve said no, every time. I don’t want to help him,” Rogan said on the podcast episode, according to Mediaite. “I’m not interested in helping him.”
Rogan also told Fridman that he believes the Trump era will “be one of the weirder times.”
“When people look back historically about the division in this country, he’s such a polarizing figure that so many people felt like they could abandon their own ethics and morals and principles just to attack him and anybody who supports him because he is an existential threat to democracy itself,” Rogan said.
This comes as the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol is holding a series of public hearings in which it is making the case that Trump was at the center of an effort to retain power that led directly to the attack.
In a surprise hearing last week, former Trump White House aide Cassidy Hutchison gave explosive testimony detailing several incidents involving Trump surrounding the Jan. 6 riot. In one incident she described, she said the president knew members of the crowd at his rally at the Ellipse that day were carrying weapons but pushed to do away with magnetometer screening because it was affecting his crowd size. Trump has denied those allegations.
Rogan also said he believes Trump will run for another term as president, saying that he’ll run against a “dead man,” referring to President Biden.
“Well, he’s running against a dead man, you know? I mean, (Joe) Biden, shakes hands with people that aren’t even there when he gets off stage,” Rogan told Fridman. “I think he’s seeing ghosts”

RALEIGH, N.C., Sept. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --Real Magic, the company behind the Levitate Client Happiness Platform that powers over 3,500 relationship-based businesses, is announcing the launch of its second product, Coffee. Born out of an internal need for more efficient sales prospecting, it promises to be a ground-breaking tool for sales teams across the country.
"As the Levitate product scaled, we realized that our sales team was wasting a lot of effort trying to find the right leads to call at the right time," says Jesse Lipson, CEO & founder of Coffee and Levitate. "I looked for an existing solution that would take the guesswork out of prospecting and let our reps spend less time clicking around the CRM and more time engaging with prospects but didn't find anything that was exactly what we needed. So, I decided we would build it ourselves on the Levitate API platform."
After implementing Coffee within the Levitate team and seeing how much more efficient and effective they had gotten, Lipson knew it could change the game for sales teams elsewhere.
The tool itself – which integrates with HubSpot – is intelligent and intuitive, simplifying the prospecting process by automatically serving leads based on time zones and other key factors. With all the information reps need on one screen, it even serves follow-up and demo confirmation calls at the designated time. Built-in gamification, a real-time leaderboard, and customizable memes throughout make cold calling fun, engaging, and motivating for sales reps – differentiating Coffee even further from other prospecting tools.
But Coffee doesn't only help sales reps; it also helps sales managers and revenue operations teams. The tool makes blitzes and sales plays simple by allowing any manager to turn them on and off with the click of a button, and its account-based configuration alleviates the need for lead shuffling. This is especially helpful for smaller sales teams that don't have a full revenue operations team.
"I love that Coffee saves me time because I don't have to manage and shuffle lead ownership," says Jimmy Critcher, Sales Operations at REVGEN. "It's also great for easily seeing where we are on the day's goals without pulling a report."
With the launch of Coffee, Real Magic now offers a full suite of tools for both client engagement (Levitate) and prospect engagement (Coffee). To support its continued growth, Levitate is also announcing a $6M funding round co-led by Bull City Venture Partners, Tippet Venture Partners, and Lipson himself.
Coffee is an intelligent, efficient, and fun prospecting platform that keeps your sales team energized. Gamification and memes motivate teams, while AI makes using Coffee a breeze by serving the right leads to the right reps at the right times. Daily goals and reporting are readily available, allowing for easy performance tracking on-the-fly. To learn more about what's brewing at Coffee, visit coffee.inc.

AUCKLAND, New Zealand, June 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ports of Auckland are today welcoming an exciting addition to their fleet, with the highly-anticipated arrival of the world's first full size, ship-handling electric tug. Affectionately named Sparky, as voted by New Zealanders in a public vote in 2020, the e-tug is part of an innovative project that no other port globally has previously embarked on.
Sparky marks the beginning of a new era for the Auckland Port, who are anticipating saving approximately 465 tonnes of CO2 in diesel emissions annually from the e-tug addition alone. Roger Gray, CEO of Ports of Auckland said, "Welcoming Sparky is an exciting day for us at the Ports of Auckland. Her arrival marks a big step towards the ports' decarbonisation of operations and towards our long-term emissions reduction goals."
The expected cost of operating Sparky is less than a third of the cost of running a diesel tug. Battery operated, the e-tug has a recharge time of approximately two hours and can run up to four shipping moves on one charge. For Allan D'Souza, GM Marine and Multi Cargo at Ports of Auckland and lead on the e-tug project, the arrival of Sparky has been six years in the making. "Back in 2016 when we first pitched the idea for a fully electric tug, we were told we were dreaming. To finally welcome her to Tāmaki Makaurau now is incredible."
"You'll be able to spot Sparky on the water as her superstructure is painted bright green, unlike our diesel tugs" says D'Souza. "What you won't notice is noise or smoke; being electric she's a lot quieter, and cleaner, than our current diesel tugs."
There will be approximately six weeks of testing in Auckland before Sparky is fully commissioned and operational. "E-tugs are the future for ship handling and Ports of Auckland are proud to have led the way," says Gray.
Additional Sparky Notes
Sparky is the first Damen RSD-E Tug 2513. She has a 6-metre draft, is 24.73 length and has two azimuth thrusters with 3-metre diameter propellers.
Sparky has a 70-tonne bollard pull (the same as the port's strongest diesel tug, Hauraki).
There are 80 battery racks holding 2,240 batteries, totalling 2,784 kWh of power.
To ensure absolute safety – of utmost importance in shipping – Sparky also has two 1000kW back-up generator sets which will only be used in cases of emergency or some fault that is not part of business as usual. We expect to use them at most, once or twice a year.
About Ports of Auckland
Ports of Auckland Ltd, Tāmaki Herenga Waka, plays a key role in Auckland and Pacific Island trade. As the port for New Zealand's largest city, it has played a vital role in the Auckland economy for over 180 years.
Ports of Auckland is 100% owned by Auckland Council and serves Auckland's growth through the efficient delivery of freight and being the country's main port for car and container imports as well as the main cruise hub. The port has a rich history and takes pride in being the kaitaki – guardians – of the legacy.
Ports of Auckland aim to be emissions free by 2040.

DALLAS (KDAF) — Sunday for Dallas sports fanatics was one of the most exciting and gut-wrenching days thanks to two Game 7’s from the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars. The two massive win-or-go-home playoff games had different outcomes.
For starters, the Dallas Mavs led by superstar Luka Doncic alongside stellar play from guards Spencer Dinwiddie and Jalen Brunson was able to douse the Phoenix Suns and demolish any thought they had of advancing to the Western Conference Finals.
The final score was 123 to 90 with Doncic scoring 35 while grabbing 10 boards. It wasn’t even close to a dramatic Game 7.
However, the script was flipped for the Dallas Stars, as their Game 7 against the Calgary Flames was a nailbiter until the bitter end. The Stars were able to tie up the series in Game 6 before falling to the Flames in overtime 3-2.
Those who stayed up late to watch were able to witness the greatness of goalie Jake Oettinger’s 64-save game that unfortunately ended in a loss.
This prompted Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson to sympathize with those who gave their all as fans watching the two franchises battle to the last buzzer for North Texas, “You can be a few minutes late to work tomorrow morning if you’re watching the @DallasStars. Consider this your permission slip from the @DallasMayor.”

Man arrested after woman, 75, found taped up in closet, police say
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WBRC/Gray News) – Troopers with Kentucky State Police arrested a man accused of kidnapping a 75-year-old woman and leaving her tied up in a closet.
Calhoun County Sheriff Matthew Wade told WBRC that Tony White, 47, was caught in Richmond, Kentucky, around 7:45 p.m. Tuesday, one day after the woman was rescued.
Betty Cobb, 75, was found taped up in a closet around 7:15 p.m. on Monday. Wade said Cobb was located within six hours of her being reported missing.
Authorities said they believe White followed Cobb home from the grocery store and kidnapped her. They say she was stuffed inside a car trunk and attacked with a knife before being tied up.
Investigators said they used security footage from stores she had visited to determine a suspect vehicle, which led authorities to investigate several residences connected to the suspect.
According to Wade, Cobb was a well-known volunteer firefighter and drove an ambulance in the community. He said she is kind and has a big heart.
“She would take the shirt off her back and hand it to you,” Assistant Fire Chief Jason Austin said. “That is just the type of lady she is.”
Austin said Cobb was a fighter and believes that’s what kept her alive.
“Whatever he did or however he did what he did to her, it wasn’t easy. She fought. Without a doubt, she’ll fight till the end, and that is why she is still here today. She didn’t give in. She fought till the end,” Austin said.
Wade said they believe White randomly targeted Cobb because she is elderly.
They believe he targets this age group specifically and may even be linked to two other kidnapping cases from 2012 and 2013. They now plan to run his DNA in those cases.
He is now in a Kentucky jail awaiting trial for extradition back to Alabama.

Home touring activity in June moved closer to 2019 levels as the formerly red-hot housing market cools
- Home showing activity is down across the U.S., with June seeing an 18.7% year-over-year decline in home tours – though showing activity is still well above pre-pandemic levels.
- Markets averaging double-digit home tours per listing fell from March's record high of 121 markets to three in June.
- The West region again saw the largest decline in showing activity, with buyer traffic down 44.1% year-over-year.
CHICAGO , Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In what may be a welcome change for home shoppers used to abnormal market activity, the latest data from the ShowingTime Showing Index® found home showings declined again year-over-year in June – though home touring activity is still above pre-pandemic levels. ShowingTime is one of the residential real estate industry's leading technology providers of showing management and market statistics.
The decline in home showings across the country is another indicator that the housing market may be moving toward rebalancing, as inventory improves and competition among home buyers eases. The Northeast saw the smallest drop in June, with a 10.9% dip in showings. The Midwest followed with a 16.7% drop, while the South's 25.9% decline and West's 44.1% downturn rounded out the regions. The U.S. overall had an 18.7% fall in buyer traffic compared to this time last year.
Burlington, Vt., led all markets in showings per listing in June with an average of 13.58, marking the second consecutive month in which it claimed the top spot. Notably, Burlington is also one of the few markets where showings per listing are up significantly year over year – in other markets analyzed, showings stayed flat or declined.
Rochester, N.Y. and Cleveland also saw double-digit showings per listing, rounding out the three markets to reach that distinction. The dwindling number of markets to see double-digit showings per listing represents a turnaround from the spring, when that number reached triple digits from February through April.
"Most markets are experiencing a slowdown in buyer activity, especially compared to the historically high traffic seen last year," said ShowingTime Vice President and General Manager Michael Lane. "While summer is a slower time of year for real estate compared to spring, the dip we're seeing compared to last June suggests this slowing is more about a rebalancing of an overheated market than just marking the end of the home shopping season."
About ShowingTime
ShowingTime is an industry leader in home touring technology and a proud affiliate of Zillow Group, Inc. ShowingTime's technology and services simplify the tour scheduling process for buyers, sellers and agents across the industry. ShowingTime products are used in hundreds of MLSs representing more than one million real estate professionals across the U.S. and Canada.

AI enables OrthoFX's new Rescue Aligners to save 65% of patients from treatment delays and OrthoFX's Bright Aligners give patients a reason to smile.
FREMONT, Calif., May 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- OrthoFX, the first all-in-one clear aligner platform, announced their launch to US Orthodontists at the American Association of Orthodontists Annual Meeting in Miami. As a part of the launch, OrthoFX announced the commercial availability of Rescue™ and Bright Aligners™, two breakthrough polymer innovations that are designed to eliminate treatment breakdowns while providing instant gratification to orthodontic patients.
About Rescue Aligners: Most patients do not wear their aligners as prescribed - 22 hours daily. This results in treatments going off-track. Today, the only way to remedy this deviation is through additional Doctor visits and a treatment restart. The current recovery process can result in 8+ weeks of delay and requires multiple, unplanned office visits.
Rescue aligners work in conjunction with OrthoFX's proprietary, AI driven remote monitoring solution - FXOnTrack™ - creating a closed loop system for the proactive detection and elimination of aligner failure. When FXOnTrack reports that a case is off-track, Doctors can trigger the production of a rescue aligner which is shipped directly to the patient's home. This unique aligner provides the required flexibility and consistent forces to correct up to one month of deviation from plan with no office visits.
Loc Phan, Co-founder and Head of Material Engineering said, "With the launch of rescue aligners, we are eliminating a vexing problem that has plagued the clear aligner industry for the past 25 years"
About Bright Aligners: Since the advent of Orthodontics over 150 years ago, patients have disliked how long It takes to see any meaningful straightening results. This has resulted in lower patient uptake of available solutions and a general sense of dissatisfaction with the category. To further exacerbate this problem consumers today expect instant gratification from the products they use. OrthoFX is addressing this timely need with a new proprietary aligner, called OrthoFX Bright, which is designed to make teeth appear whiter and straighter from day one of wear.
"The exciting launch of OrthoFX's Rescue and Bright Aligners supports their commitment to revolutionizing clear aligner therapy. We are developing an intelligent, continuous care system to advance the standard of care in the industry," said Ren Menon, Co-founder, and CEO of OrthoFX.
Rescue and Bright Aligners will be available starting May 22nd included for OrthoFX partner practices. For more information visit (Rescue Aligners) https://www.orthofx.com/rescue-aligners/ and (Bright Aligners) https://www.orthofx.com/orthofx-bright-aligners/ .
About OrthoFX: Founded by a team of industry experts who played a critical role in building and scaling the clear aligner category. OrthoFX is pioneering next generation advancements in orthodontics and dental treatments through innovations in polymers, software and services.

Independent social impact organization, formerly known as Creating IT Futures and founded by CompTIA, will offer an innovative online tech learning hub to middle school students
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- With a new, exclusive focus on youth programming and a single-purpose commitment to helping young people unlock their potential through technology, Creating IT Futures has changed its name to CompTIA Spark, the social impact nonprofit organization announced today.
CompTIA Spark will focus on delivering high-quality tech education and resources to middle schoolers through an innovative online learning hub. Building on the success of TechGirlz, a program that provides tech-centered learning opportunities for girls ages 11-14, CompTIA Spark aims to make technology engaging, accessible and inclusive for middle school students who are at a critical age to explore their interests.
"Our mission is to spark an interest in tech because in today's digitally driven world, tech fluency is just as important to future success as reading, writing, and math," said Charles Eaton, chief executive officer of CompTIA Spark. "Young people have their sights set on big and varied dreams, but what's clear is that whatever path or passion a young person chooses, technology education will play a critical part in their journey."
The CompTIA Spark middle school program, scheduled to be piloted during the 2022-23 school year, will be delivered through an online learning hub that can be accessed from anywhere, anytime. The hub is designed as a one-stop shop for students and teachers to access a range of fun, inspiring tech-related courses and resources, spanning topics from artificial intelligence and cybersecurity to mobile app development, podcasting, graphic design and more. Programs serve a diverse range of learning preferences and interests and can be taught by any adult who wants to bring high-quality tech education to their students or community, whether they have tech experience or not.
A unique feature of the learning hub allows content to be mapped to students' existing interests and curated across different "careers clusters" — from finance to manufacturing and marketing to the arts. Students can discover career paths and future learning opportunities that align with their passions, strengths, and growing capabilities and confidence.
"Nearly every career is a tech career in today's digital world. There are so many great job opportunities out there that require tech knowledge and not enough skilled people to fill those roles. Thousands of rewarding, well-paying jobs will go unfilled unless an expanded pipeline of new, diverse talent is created," said Eaton. "That's why CompTIA Spark's middle school programming will have a big impact on thousands of young people's lives regardless of whether they ultimately choose a career in the tech industry. We want to show students that tech is for everyone — and about so much more than just coding or computer engineering."
Alongside the middle school program, CompTIA Spark will continue to support other programs with a focus on youth, including TechGirlz, acquired by CompTIA in 2019, CyberPrep Explore and CyberPrep ITF+.
While an independent nonprofit, CompTIA Spark operates as the social innovation and impact arm of CompTIA — the leading nonprofit association for the IT industry and workforce— which founded the organization. This unique connection to CompTIA means CompTIA Spark is plugged in to developments in the industry, keeping pace with its constant evolution. Additionally, its curriculum has ties to real certifications, helping to provide clear future pathways for students who want to take their interest to the next level.
CompTIA Spark is a social impact organization that works to unlock people's potential though technology. It aims to bringing high quality tech education to youth — whatever their background — making tech exciting, accessible and inclusive, and building skills and confidence for life. The organization was founded in 1998 by CompTIA, the nonprofit association for the IT industry and workforce. Formerly known as Creating IT Futures, CompTIA Spark is a registered 501 (c)(3) nonprofit. Learn more at comptiaspark.org.

Kansas State Fair kicks off in Hutchinson
HUTCHINSON, Kan. (KWCH) - The 109th Annual Kansas State Fair is underway in Hutchinson. The 10-day annual event kicked off late Friday morning featuring a mix of new and traditional experiences.
Organizers are hoping to get back to a typical attendance of 325,00 to 350,000 people. Due in large part to the pandemic, last year’s total attendance for the state fair was down to about 281,000. The fair includes 10 days of activities throughout the state fairgrounds and concerts in the evenings.
“Kicking off day one, we’ve got 10 days that are fantastic, loaded with entertainment, education (and) livestock,” said Kansas State Fair General Manager Bryan Schulz. “We’ve got over 3,600 animals coming in this weekend (and) over 1,000 kids for our grand drive that will extend through the whole week. There’s so many things to do we hope to come out and enjoy.”
On Thursday, a day ahead of the fair, officials held a ribbon cutting for the brand new Lake Talbott stage area.
The fair invested about $115,000 to rebuild the stage. While it’s not much bigger than the old one, fair officials say it’s much more durable and allows them to hook up sound and lights.
Members of the Eyewitness News team will be there every day! Find daily details on what’s happening at the fair here: https://www.kansasstatefair.com/

Reports of Johnny Depp’s return to ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ not accurate, agent says
Published: Jun. 28, 2022 at 11:54 AM EDT|Updated: 38 minutes ago
(CNN) - Will Johnny Depp be coming back as Jack Sparrow? Don’t hold your breath.
There have been reports Depp would be back as Jack, but his representative said that’s made up.
Not only that, Jerry Bruckheimer, who produced the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, said they haven’t decided on whether the actor will reprise the role.
All eyes have been on Depp recently, but not on the big screen.
He and his ex-wife Amber Heard were battling it out in court with dueling defamation suits, which wrapped up earlier this month.

VANCOUVER, BC, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Orea Mining Corp. ("Orea") (TSX: OREA) (OTCQX: OREAF) (FSE: 3CG) announces a private placement to fund an action plan, that Orea management and its advisors have initiated, in response to the sanctions imposed by the United States on Nord Gold plc ("Nordgold"), Orea's joint-venture partner (see press release of June 7, 2022). The joint venture (Orea 44.99%, Nordgold 55.01%) holds a 100% interest in the 5 million ounce Montagne d'Or Gold mine development* project in French Guiana. More information will be provided in the near-term.
The non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") is for gross proceeds of up to CAD$1,000,000, consisting of up to 20,000,000 units at a price of CAD$0.05 per unit. Each unit is comprised of one common share of Orea (a "Share"), and a full warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder, on exercise, to purchase one Share at a price of CAD$0.10 for a period of 18 months from the closing date of the Private Placement. Finders' fees of 8% may be payable in accordance with the policies of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX"). The Private Placement is subject to approval by the TSX.
Orea is awaiting a decision by the Supreme Court of France regarding the renewal of the Montagne d'Or mining titles (see press release of May 10, 2022). Montagne d'Or is a permitting-stage open pit gold deposit that hosts Measured Mineral Resources of 10.3 Mt at 1.804 g/t gold (600,000 oz), Indicated Mineral Resources of 74.8 Mt at 1.350 g/t gold (3.25 Moz) and additional Inferred Mineral Resources of 20.2 Mt at 1.48 g/t gold (960,000 oz), prepared in accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). The Mineral Resources are confined within a pit shell defined by a gold price of US$1,300/oz and a cut-off grade of 0.4 g/t gold. Mineral Reserves have also been defined with Proven Mineral Reserves of 8.25 Mt at 1.99 g/t gold (530,000 oz) and Probable Mineral Reserves of 45.87 Mt at 1.50 g/t gold (2.2 M oz). The Proven and Probable Mineral Reserves were estimated using a gold price of US$1,200 per ounce at varied cut-off grades from 0.552 to 0.665 g/t gold, dependent on lithological rock types, economics and estimated metallurgical recovery. Montagne d'Or ore can be readily processed to recover the contained gold and silver values using unit operations considered standard to the industry.
Rock Lefrançois, President & Chief Executive Officer of Orea and Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed this news release and is responsible for the technical information reported herein, including verification of the data disclosed.

These statements, however, are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements.
