Skin care essentials to keep in your office desk drawer
Skin care is generally considered part of a morning or nighttime routine, though it should be a daylong effort. After all, even long-lasting products like lotions and moisturizers can wear off during the workday.
For that reason, it’s a good idea to stock up on office-friendly skin care essentials to keep in your desk drawer. While you won’t be able to engage in a full-skin care regimen on the clock, it’s worth investing in products like hand creams, cuticle oil or hydrating facial sprays to tide you over.
What to know before buying skin care products for the office
Why skin care throughout the day matters
Simply put, skin care products applied in the morning are bound to wear off during the day. This is often the result of environmental exposure, friction or touching your face and body.
As expected, reapplication is common, and to some extent, it’s necessary. It’s especially important if you’re managing certain skin care concerns, such as very dry skin or blemishes. When you keep a few essential skin care products in the office, you won’t need to run to your car or wait until you get home to continue managing these concerns.
Consider your co-workers
Before you bring new skin care products to the office, consider your co-workers. Certain lotions and creams have strong scents that others may find overwhelming. Or worse, the scent may trigger allergic reactions or headaches for some people.
Instead, consider investing in unscented or fragrance-free products. Vanicream Moisturizing Skin Cream, for example, is a low-odor option because it’s free of both fragrance and fragrance-masking ingredients.
Be prepared for cleaning
Even skin care products that absorb into the skin quickly may leave residue on your desk, keyboard or mouse. As a result, you’ll need to clean your desk a bit more often — likely on a daily basis — to keep these areas tidy and streak-free.
Multipurpose surface cleaners and cleaning wipes are effective in removing most product residue. However, make sure these products don’t seep between keys and buttons on your keyboard and mouse. Unfortunately, the chemicals may cause permanent damage to devices.
Should you buy travel-size products?
It’s tempting to gravitate toward travel-size products for convenience reasons. While they’re certainly space-savvy, they’re rarely the most cost-effective way of buying skin care products. In fact, it’s often more expensive to buy smaller bottles of products than their regular-size equivalents.
Some people have enough room to store full-size products on their desks or inside drawers. Other professionals may be pressed for space, in which case TSA-approved bottles are a worthy investment. Not only are they refillable and fit easily in bags and desk drawers, but they also come in handy for air travel.
Best skin care essentials to leave at the office
Water mister
If you can’t splash water on your face in the middle of the day, a water mister is the next best thing. Evian Facial Spray delivers an ultrafine mist of pure Evian water that refreshes skin. It’s often used to revive makeup looks or cool down on warmer days.
Cuticle oil
Nails need a little tender loving care throughout the day. It’s a good idea to keep cuticle oil in your desk drawer, such as OPI Nail and Cuticle Oil. A salon-quality formula, this oil nourishes nails and cuticles and helps prevent drying and cracking.
Moisturizing hand cream
After plenty of hand washing and sanitizing, hands often become dry or cracked. Burt’s Bees Ultimate Care Hand Cream is a deep-moisturizing formula that soothes very dry skin with baobab oil. The naturally-derived, unscented formula is free of phthalates, parabens and SLS.
Restorative hand cream
Hands that need repair benefit from using a restorative hand cream, like O’Keefe’s Working Hands Hand Cream. In addition to soothing and smoothing over cracked, dry hands, it forms a protective layer that may boost moisture retention levels long term.
Blemish spot treatment
Sometimes, spots and blemishes pop up in the middle of the workday. It’s easy to get them under control while you type away with Murad Rapid Relief Acne Spot Treatment. Clear and discreet, this salicylic acid spot treatment reduces the appearance of blemishes within a matter of hours.
Tweezers
There’s no need to stress over that stray brow hair when you keep travel tweezers in your desk. The Tweezerman Petite Tweeze Set includes two mini tweezers and a travel case. The tweezers are made with stainless steel, making them durable and easy to clean.
Hydrating facial spray
Working in dry environments can leave your face dry and patchy, which may result in makeup flaking or fading. Refresh your look with Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, which is formulated with herbal extracts that revitalize skin and leave it with a dewy, upbeat radiance.
Unscented body lotion
If your arms and legs feel dry during the day, slather on a little body lotion. Cetaphil Advanced Relief Lotion is suitable for use at work since it has a neutral, low-odor scent. The quick-absorbing lotion, which includes shea butter, locks in moisture for up to 48 hours.
Sunscreen
When you keep sunscreen in your desk drawer, you won’t need to worry about burning at an impromptu outdoor lunch or work event. Neutrogena Beach Defense Sunscreen is a broad-spectrum formula with SPF 70 that is lightweight, oil-free and streak-free.
Protective lip balm
If you struggle with cracked or dry lips, be sure to keep a protective lip balm within arm’s reach. Palmer’s Coconut Oil Formula Lip Balm is known for its creamy, rich formula infused with vitamin E and coconut oil. The SPF 15 lip balm leaves lips with a light, glossy sheen.
Oil-absorbing tool
Control oil throughout the workday with an oil-absorbing tool, such as the Revlon Oil-Absorbing Volcanic Face Roller. It absorbs oil and has a mattifying effect without drying out the skin. As an added bonus, it can be used on a clean face or over makeup.
Makeup remover wipes
Whether you need to touch up makeup or refresh your face, moist towelettes, like Neutrogena Hydro Boost Cleansing Towelettes, are the way to go. Infused with hyaluronic acid, these towelettes gently cleanse skin while boosting hydration.

HOUSTON (AP) — The man who inspired the film “Hotel Rwanda” and was freed by Rwanda last week from a terrorism sentence returned Wednesday to the United States, where he will reunite with his family after being held for more than two years.
Paul Rusesabagina’s arrival back in the United States was announced Wednesday by White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan, who wrote in a tweet, that “we’re glad to have him back on U.S. soil.”
White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby told journalists on Monday that Rusesabagina was in Doha, Qatar and would be making his way back to the U.S. Rusesabagina’s plane touched down in Houston in the afternoon and the 68-year-old will travel next to a military hospital in San Antonio, according to a person familiar with the matter, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal planning. The person said Rusesabagina was on the ground and in a car heading to reunite with his family. “We’re glad to have him back on U.S. soil & reunited with his family & friends who’ve long waited for this day to come,” Sullivan said. “I’m grateful to those we worked closely with in the Rwandan Government to make this possible.”
Rusesabagina, a U.S. legal resident and Belgian citizen, was credited with sheltering more than 1,000 ethnic Tutsis at the hotel he managed during Rwanda’s 1994 genocide in which over 800,000 Tutsis and Hutus who tried to protect them were killed. He received the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom for his efforts.
Rusesabagina disappeared in 2020 during a visit to Dubai in the United Arab Emirates and appeared days later in Rwanda in handcuffs. His family alleged he was kidnapped and taken to Rwanda against his will to stand trial.
In 2021, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison after being convicted in Rwanda on eight charges including membership in a terrorist group, murder and abduction following the widely criticized trial.
Last week, Rwanda’s government commuted his sentence after diplomatic intervention on his behalf by the United States.
Rusesabagina had been accused of supporting the armed wing of his opposition political platform, the Rwandan Movement for Democratic Change. The armed group claimed some responsibility for attacks in 2018 and 2019 in southern Rwanda in which nine Rwandans died.
Rusesabagina testified at trial that he helped to form the armed group to assist refugees but said he never supported violence — and sought to distance himself from its deadly attacks.
Rusesabagina has asserted that his arrest was in response to his criticism of longtime President Paul Kagame over alleged human rights abuses. Kagame’s government has repeatedly denied targeting dissenting voices with arrests and extrajudicial killings.
Rusesabagina became a public critic of Kagame and left Rwanda in 1996, first living in Belgium and then the U.S.
His arrest was a source of friction with the U.S. and others at a time when Rwanda’s government has also been under pressure over tensions with neighboring Congo and Britain’s plan to deport asylum-seekers to the small east African nation.
Rights activists and others had been urging Rwandan authorities to free him, saying his health was failing.
In October, the ailing Rusesabagina signed a letter to Kagame that was posted on the justice ministry’s website, saying that if he was granted pardon and released to live in the U.S., he would hold no personal or political ambitions and “I will leave questions regarding Rwandan politics behind me.”
Last year, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Kagame in Rwanda and discussed the case.
Kirby, the White House National Security Council spokesman, had said Sullivan personally engaged in the case, “really doing the final heavy lifting to get Paul released and to get him on his way home.” ___ Tucker reported from Washington.

- Greenes Fence Cedar Raised Garden Bed
- Miracle-Gro Nature’s Care Raised Bed Soil
- Miracle-Gro Raised Bed Plant Food
Gardening is a rewarding activity that has many health benefits. You burn calories, get exposure to vitamin D, strengthen your bones and get a little cardio in. If you’d like your plants to be as healthy and thriving as you are, consider planting a raised bed garden.
Some believe the idea of a raised garden bed originated in medieval times. Others claim it has been around for over 2,000 years. The important takeaway is this method works. It has distinct advantages, and once you try it, you’ll never go back to in-ground gardening. But you have to know what you’re doing to have success. This article will outline what you need to know to have the perfect raised garden.
What is a raised bed garden?
A raised bed garden sits on top of your existing soil. It can be just a mound or it can have sides that make it look like a box. Some raised bed gardens are just a few inches high, while others are several feet high. The bed should be small enough so you can reach every plant without stepping foot in the garden.
3 benefits of having a raised garden bed
Raised garden beds aren’t popular because they look nicer — even though they do — they are desirable because they benefit your plants and help ensure a bountiful growing season.
- A raised bed garden lets you have ideal growing conditions no matter what your native soil is like. It doesn’t matter if you have sandy soil or clay in your yard because a raised garden bed sits on top of your ground and is filled with specially formulated, nutrient-rich soil. This gives you better water retention or better drainage, depending on your needs.
- You get a longer growing season with a raised bed garden. The soil in a raised bed garden warms more quickly than ground-level soil, which means you can plant earlier in the season.
- A raised bed garden offers protection from weeds, insects and other nuisance animals. You can install a weed barrier beneath a raised bed garden to keep weeds and gophers from entering your garden beds from below. The sides can keep insects and small animals from having easy access. And, if you still have a problem with larger animals and birds, you can add deer fencing or netting to your beds to keep them safe.
Tips for making the perfect raised garden bed
Location matters
A raised garden bed must be placed in a strategic location. You can’t just put it wherever you have room. The space must get a minimum of 6-8 hours of sunlight throughout the day. The garden should not be in a low-lying area that collects water. If possible, plant your garden so the rows run north and south as this provides better sunlight coverage.
Use durable materials
If your raised garden bed has sidewalls, which are recommended but not always necessary, use water-resistant, rot-resistant materials that won’t leach chemicals into your beds. Cedar and redwood are the best options, but you can also use materials such as landscaping blocks or retaining wall blocks.
Keep the size manageable
You need to be able to reach every plant without stepping in the garden and without straining your back. For most people, that means not going over 4 feet wide — if you have access to it from both sides. You can, however, make your garden as long as you’d like, though most keep it manageable at 4, 6 or 8 feet long.
Consider the height/depth
If you will be growing plants with deeper root systems, such as tomatoes or asparagus, make sure your bed is raised enough to accommodate those systems. In some instances, you may need to dig into the ground beneath your raised bed to add a little depth. For most plants, however, 12 inches is sufficient.
Fill with nutrient-rich soil
The point of using a raised garden bed is to have optimum conditions. This typically means the native soil won’t work. The best soil is sandy loam, which is loose and rich in organic matter. It is best to fill your bed with soil that is specifically designed for raised garden beds. Alternatively, you can experiment with combinations of potting soil and garden soil, but you might not find the ideal combination for several seasons.
Start with herbs
If this is your first garden, start easy. Herbs are more tolerant of neglect and poor growing conditions, so your chances of success are greater. Once you get a feel for gardening, then you can try more challenging vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, cucumbers and head lettuce.
Water roots, not leaves
Plants drink through their root system, not their leaves. When you water your raised garden bed, it is best to use a drip irrigation system or a soaker hose that is placed at the base of the plants. In short, the wetter your plant leaves are, the more prone they are to disease.

Feds won’t seek death penalty for El Paso Walmart shooter
(AP) - Federal prosecutors will not seek the death penalty for a man accused of fatally shooting nearly two dozen people in a racist attack at a West Texas Walmart in 2019.
The U.S. Department of Justice disclosed the decision not to pursue capital punishment against Patrick Crusius in a one-sentence notice filed with the federal court in El Paso on Tuesday.
Crusius, 24, is accused of targeting Mexicans during the Aug. 3 massacre that left dozens wounded and killed 23 people. The Dallas-area native is charged with federal hate crimes and firearms violations, as well as capital murder in state court, and has pleaded not guilty.
Federal prosecutors did not explain in their court filing why they won’t to seek the death penalty for Crusius, although he could still face execution if convicted in state court.
The decision not to pursue the death penalty in Crusius’ case could be a defining moment for the Justice Department, which has sent mixed signals on policies regarding the federal death penalty that President Joe Biden pledged to abolish during his presidential campaign. Biden is the first president to openly oppose the death penalty and his election raised the hopes of abolition advocates, who have since been frustrated by a lack of clarity on how the administration might end federal executions or whether that’s the objective.
The decision comes weeks after Jaime Esparza, the former district attorney in El Paso, took over as U.S. attorney for West Texas. Esparza said when he was district attorney that he would pursue the death penalty in Crusius’ case. A spokesman for Esparza’s office referred questions to the Justice Department in Washington, D.C., where another spokesman declined to comment.
Crusius surrendered to police after the attack, saying, “I’m the shooter,” and that he was targeting Mexicans, according to an arrest warrant. Prosecutors have said he published a screed online shortly before the shooting that said it was “in response to the Hispanic invasion of Texas.”
Lawyers for Cruisus did not immediately respond to requests for comment. His case is set for trial in federal court in January 2024.
Although the federal and state cases have progressed along parallel tracks, it is now unclear when Crusius might face trial on state charges.
The district attorney who had been leading the state case, Yvonne Rosales, resigned in November over accusations of incompetence involving hundreds of cases in El Paso and slowing down the case against Crusius. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott last month appointed a new district attorney to “restore confidence” in the local criminal justice system.
Federal prosecutors are still pursuing the death penalty in the case against Sayfullo Saipov, who is accused of using a truck in 2017 to mow down pedestrians and cyclists on a bike path by the Hudson River. Saipov’s federal capital trial began last week.
The decision to seek death in Saipov’s case came under Trump, who during his last six months in office oversaw a historic spree of 13 federal executions. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced a moratorium on carrying out federal executions in 2021, but he allowed U.S. prosecutors to continue to seek the death penalty against Saipov while the department reviews Trump era death penalty procedures.

CHICAGO (AP) — Even as the nation reeled over the massacre of 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, multiple mass shootings happened elsewhere over the Memorial Day weekend in areas both rural and urban. Still, single-death incidents accounted for most gun fatalities.
Gunfire erupted in the predawn hours of Sunday at a festival in the town of Taft, Oklahoma, sending hundreds of revelers scattering and customers inside the nearby Boots Café diving for cover. Eight people ages 9 to 56 were shot, and one of them died.
Six children ages 13 to 15 were wounded Saturday night in a touristy quarter of Chattanooga, Tennessee. Two groups got into an altercation, and two people in one of them pulled guns and started shooting.
And at a club and liquor store in Benton Harbor in southwestern Michigan, a 19-year-old man was killed and six other people were wounded after gunfire rang out among a crowd around 2:30 a.m. Monday. Police found multiple shell casings of various calibers.
Those and others met a common definition of a mass shooting, in which four or more people are shot. Such occurrences have become so regular, news of them is likely to fade fast.
There were at least two incidents in Chicago between late Friday and Monday that qualified as mass shootings, including one near a closed elementary school on the West Side in which the wounded included a 16-year-old girl.
Single-fatality shootings also rocked families and communities: On the South Side, the body of a young man slain at an outdoor birthday party lay on the sidewalk early Sunday, covered by a white sheet. His mother stood nearby, crying.
Overall, Chicago recorded 32 gunfire incidents over the weekend in which 47 people were shot and nine died.
In the wake of the Uvalde shooting, by an 18-year-old who legally purchased an AR-style rifle, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and other Republican opponents of tougher gun laws quickly pointed at Chicago as an example of how such measures don’t work, saying, “more people are shot every weekend (there) than there are in schools in Texas.”
High rates of gun violence in Chicago have made a series of Democratic governments there, including that of current Mayor Lori Lightfoot, vulnerable to criticism, sometimes from within their own party.
But the assertions by Abbott and others are misleading and oversimplify the situation in the country’s third-largest city. Many guns used in the killing of Chicagoans were initially bought in other states with less stringent gun laws, like Indiana and Mississippi. Chicago officials also note that the city records fewer murders per capita than many other smaller U.S. cities.
Police chiefs there and in other cities cancelled days off to boost the numbers of officers over the holiday, hoping it would act as a deterrent. Independent conflict mediators also hit the streets, using social media to identify simmering conflicts with the potential to explode into real-world violence.
In Detroit, Police Chief James White promised to strictly enforce a curfew aimed at youths and teens after three people were wounded during a shooting earlier this month in Greektown, a popular downtown restaurant and entertainment district.
Such strategies may have worked in individual cases, but statistics from several cities didn’t indicate violence was kept at or below levels from previous years. Chicago's Memorial Day weekend death toll was three times last year's.
It's long been a rule of thumb in northern cities that hot weather means more violence. Temperatures in Detroit and Chicago were in the 80s — unseasonably warm — during the three-day weekend, bringing more people outside and increasing the chances of clashes, often between rival gangs. Alcohol at holiday parties can fuel personal beefs, some of which first fester online.
“The seasons may not have much of an impact on shootings in Los Angeles, where the weather is always good,” said Rodney Phillips, a violence prevention worker and former gang member in Chicago. But in his city, Memorial Day weekend typically marks “the start of the killing season,” he said.
Residents like Yvonne Fields, of Detroit, say they are especially cautious when Memorial Day rolls around. She, her children and grandchildren spent time closer to home this weekend.
“The holidays are not like they used to be,” Fields said. “The gangs have taken over. They do drive-by shootings. Everyone is living in fear.”
Police in big cities often say most homicides have some tie-in to gangs, though others point to poverty and the desperation that comes with it as underlying causes.
An organizational shift over the past three decades, from top-down gangs led by identifiable leaders who could assert control to more fragmented, loosely structured groups, has also contributed to the violence.
“These gang factions are getting younger and younger, bolder and more impulsive,” Phillips said. “It’s alarming. It’s often children shooting children these days.
Malik Shabazz, who helps lead neighborhood safety and anti-crime patrols in Detroit, said the Detroit New Black Panther Nation/New Marcus Garvey Movement he founded looks for spikes in crime during the holidays when people gather in groups and have more free time away from work.
“What I see is both the perps and the victims of (shootings and violent crime) are becoming younger and younger, and the crime is becoming more heinous,” said Shabazz, 59. “And people bring their guns and people have beef, ‘now I can shoot you and I can stab you over an issue of respect, not talk it out or ignore it and walk it off.’”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – California lawmakers on Monday approved the nation's first penalty for price gouging at the pump, voting to give regulators the power to punish oil companies for profiting from the type of gas price spikes that plagued the nation's most populous state last summer.
The Democrats in charge of the state Legislature worked quickly to pass the bill on Monday, just one week after it was introduced. It was an unusually fast process for a controversial issue, especially one opposed by the powerful oil industry that has spent millions of dollars to stop it.
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom used his political muscle to pass the bill, which grew out of his call last October for a special legislative session to pass a new tax on oil company profits after the average price of gas in California hit a record high of $6.44 per gallon, according to AAA. Taking on the oil industry has been a major policy priority for Newsom, who is widely viewed as a future presidential candidate.
“When you take on big oil, they usually roll you -- that’s exactly what they’ve been doing to consumers for years and years and years,” Newsom told reporters after the vote. “The Legislature had the courage, conviction and the backbone to stand up to big oil.”
He is expected to sign the bill into law Tuesday.
Legislative leaders rejected his initial call for a new tax because they feared it could discourage supply and lead to higher prices.
Instead, Newsom and lawmakers agreed to let the California Energy Commission decide whether to penalize oil companies for price gouging. But the crux of the bill isn't a potential penalty. Instead, it's the reams of new information oil companies would be required to disclose to state regulators about their pricing.
The companies would report this information, most of it to be kept confidential, to a new state agency empowered to monitor and investigate the petroleum market and subpoena oil company executives. The commission will rely on the work of this agency, plus a panel of experts, to decide whether to impose a penalty on oil company profits and how much that penalty should be.
“If we force folks to turn over this information, I actually don't believe we'll ever need a penalty because the fact that they have to tell us what’s going on will stop them from gouging our consumers," said Assemblymember Rebecca Bauer-Kahan, a Democrat from Orinda.
California's gas prices are always higher than the rest of the country because of the state's taxes and regulations. California has the second-highest gas tax in the country at 54 cents per gallon. And it requires a special blend of gasoline that is better for the environment but more expensive to produce.
But state regulators say those taxes and fees aren't enough to explain last summer, when the average cost of a gallon of gasoline in California was more than $2.60 higher than the national average.
“There's truly no other explanation for these historically high prices other than greed,” said Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo, a Democrat from Chatsworth. “The problem is we don't have the information that we need to prove this, and we don't have the ability to penalize the kind of historic price gouging we saw last year.”
The oil industry recorded massive profits last year, following years of huge losses during the pandemic when more people stayed home and fewer people were on the road.
Eloy Garcia, lobbyist for the Western States Petroleum Association, said California's high gas prices are the result of decades of public policy decisions that have made the state an island in the global petroleum market and driven many oil refiners out of the state. He noted California does not have a pipeline to send oil into the state, meaning it has to ship what it can't produce itself from the ocean, which takes longer and costs more.
“We're not like Texas. We're not like Louisiana. We're not like the Northeast,” Garcia said. “We do not have a fungible fuel supply. We have chosen to do that. We have set ourself up by 30 years of public policy.”
Garcia said Monday's vote “sends a clear signal not to invest in California.”
Lauren Sanchez, senior climate advisor for Gov. Gavin Newsom, said the state has plenty of supply, noting California oil refineries exported 12% of their product to other states last year.
“We're also the third-largest gasoline market in the world for these companies,” she said.

ISTANBUL (AP) — Finnish officials will arrive in Ankara on Tuesday to discuss their country’s bid to join NATO, Turkey’s state-run news agency reported Saturday.
A delegation from Finland’s Justice Ministry will meet Kasim Cicek, the head of foreign relations at the Turkish Ministry of Justice, Anadolu Agency said. The talks will focus on the extradition of individuals Turkey regards as terrorists, the report added.
Both Finland and its neighbor Sweden applied for membership of the defense alliance in the wake of Russia’s February invasion of Ukraine, abandoning longstanding policies of military nonalignment. Becoming a NATO member requires the unanimous support of all current members, including Turkey.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Thursday that he had also agreed to meet with Sweden’s new prime minister, Ulf Kristersson, in Ankara.
Turkey has threatened to block the process unless Finland and Sweden meet its demands. In particular Ankara wants them to crack down on people it considers terrorists, such as supporters of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, and members of a group said to have orchestrated a failed coup in 2016.
Turkey also has called for the lifting of an arms embargo imposed following its 2018 incursion into northern Syria to combat Kurdish militants. Sweden last month said it would lift the embargo, a step seen as aiming to secure Ankara’s approval.
Only the parliaments of Turkey and Hungary have yet to ratify the accession of Finland and Sweden.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — At least 19 people were killed and 32 injured when a fuel tanker exploded in a tunnel north of the Afghan capital Kabul, a local official said Sunday.
The Salang Tunnel, which is around 80 miles north of Kabul, was originally built in the 1960s to assist the Soviet invasion. It is a key link between the country's north and south.
A spokesman for Parwan province, Said Himatullah Shamim, said Saturday night's tunnel explosion killed at least 19 people, including women and children. He said survivors remain trapped under rubble and that the number of casualties could rise.
It was not immediately clear what caused the incident, which happened at around 8.30 p.m.
Parwan's health department has received 14 dead and 24 injured so far, according to local official Dr. Abdullah Afghan. There are five women and two children among the dead, he said, and the rest are men who are severely burnt and cannot be recognized.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Public Works, Molvi Hamidullah Misbah, said earlier Sunday that the fire was extinguished and that teams were still working to clear the tunnel.

Fox pit reporter Sims a symbol of NASCAR’s diversity goals
By DAN GELSTON
AP Sports Writer
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — When Josh Sims reports on NASCAR this season, the stock car series these days — from the garage to the grandstands to top brass — looks more like him.
Yes, Sims takes pride in the fact that he will become the first Black pit reporter for the Daytona 500 and that his rapid rise at Fox has made him one of the primary faces of the network’s NASCAR coverage.
More than that, Sims sees that NASCAR may finally be running out of unconquered firsts for people of color. For women. For any minority who perhaps has experienced an uneasy relationship with a series founded in the South 75 years ago, a generation before the civil rights era.
Sims’ journey from NASCAR novice through a sports anchor gig in Charlotte, North Carolina, that sparked his passion in the sport had led to his biggest assignment yet: pit reporting as a Black man from one of auto racing’s signature events.
“I never set out to be a first,” the 35-year-old Sims said. “I never set out to make history. I just wanted to be the best at what I was doing, whether it was hosting or reporting. At the same time, I kind of understand the platform and what it means for me to be doing this.”
Sims has a full workload this season. He is the Cup Series pit reporter, teams with Regan Smith as an Xfinity Series reporter and is part of the host rotation for the FS1 show “Race Hub.”
And this season, he wants to share the stories on what he sees at the track beyond the in-race reports and fantastic finishes. Minorities may not necessarily become the dominant demographic for the series, but they can certainly grab a larger share of the marketplace.
“I think if more people out there saw it, saw people that looked them, instead of just driver, crew chief, you might be more inclined to feel like, hey, I feel a little more comfortable going to the track,” Sims said. “Getting that out there might help in terms of more people coming to the track and getting more different faces to the stands. It’s not necessarily about getting more people in, it’s showing what you already have.”
It was, of course, a very low bar but the garage and grid and fans certainly appears to be more diverse now than before 2020 when NASCAR banned the Confederate flag from its tracks and properties. NASCAR is still overwhelmingly white, but NASCAR President Steve Phelps isn’t exaggerating when he says you notice the change when walking through the garage.
“I think the events of 2020 allowed the sport to get younger and more diverse,” he said at his state-of-the sport address in November.
Among the notable achievements: Jusan Hamilton, who last year became the first Black race director in Daytona 500 history, will do it again this season. Amanda Oliver, a Black woman, negotiates high-profile deals as NASCAR’s senior vice president. John Ferguson, a Black man, is the chief human resources officer.
Owners now include Pitbull and Michael Jordan, whose team features Bubba Wallace, the Black driver who prompted the flag ban. Rising stars in the developmental series include Rajah Caruth, a 20-year-old graduate of the “Drive for Diversity” program.
Phelps said NASCAR was committed to strengthening ties to various programs that can attract a broader fan base, from Boys & Girls Clubs to “some of the other areas we have from a partnership standpoint that really speak to what’s happening in the African American community, what’s happening in the Hispanic, Latino community (to) what’s happening in the LGBTQ community.”
While the frequently toxic nature of social media makes it easier for haters to reach Sims and others, he’s a popular personality each weekend at the track.
“I never necessarily felt uncomfortable,” he said. “You get stuff here and there in terms of messages that’s emailed to you or sent to you but that’s par for the course if you’re a minority in the sport, a woman in the sport, even white drivers get stuff like that. But for every one or two of those, I get a lot more stuff from people excited that I’m here. You know, focus on the good.”
Raised in East Brunswick, New Jersey, Sims is a Villanova graduate who followed the Wildcats in NCAA Tournament games in 2009 and remained a fan of most Philly teams.
“I grew up in Jersey, so not exactly NASCAR country,” Sims said. “Growing up, you know the Jimmies and the Dale Seniors and the Tony Stewarts and everybody but it wasn’t something I followed week in and week out.”
His interest in NASCAR picked up in 2015 when he moved to Charlotte and hosted a pre-race show on the local Fox affiliate. Sims covered his first Daytona 500 in 2016 when Denny Hamlin nipped Martin Truex Jr. in the closest finish in race history.
“I was like, I am all in,” Sims said.
Charlotte can feel like a small town for a city and Sims kept bumping into friends and contacts in NASCAR. Fox Sports executives hired Sims in 2021 as a reporter for their slate of NASCAR shows. He also became the first Black pit reporter in any NASCAR series, for Trucks races.
“I kind of hope that young people that look like me, can see me doing it and now recognize that it’s possible,” Sims said. “I hope I can kind of blaze a trail for them to one day say, hey, because Josh Sims did it, I can do it, too. And that’s what’s important.”

NEW YORK, July 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --
WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of NovoCure Limited (NASDAQ: NVCR) between January 5, 2023 and June 5, 2023, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important August 18, 2023 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased NovoCure securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the NovoCure class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=17256 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than August 18, 2023. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants made false and/or misleading statements regarding the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) the Company concealed the true nature of the LUNAR study results—that the overwhelmingly positive way that the Company described them was only a half-truth at best given that the study failed to evaluate the efficacy of the drug against a population of patients that had been receiving standard of care treatment; (2) as a result, the Company's business prospects, effectiveness of its products, and ultimately the likelihood of FDA approval were materially misleading during the Class Period; (3) the foregoing, once revealed, was reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on the Company's financial condition; and (4) as a result, the Company's public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.
To join the NovoCure class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=17256 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email pkim@rosenlegal.com or cases@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action.
No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

AP sources: US Rep. George Santos facing federal charges
WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Rep. George Santos, who faced outrage and mockery over a litany of fabrications about his heritage, education and professional pedigree, has been charged with federal criminal offenses, two people familiar with the matter told The Associated Press.
The charges against Santos, filed in the Eastern District of New York, remain under seal.
The people could not publicly discuss specific details of the case while it remains under seal and spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity.
Reached on Tuesday, Santos said, “This is news to me.”
“You’re the first to call me about this,” he said in a brief phone interview.
The charges were first reported by CNN.
The New York Republican has admitted to lying about having Jewish ancestry, a Wall Street background, college degrees and a history as a star volleyball player. Serious questions about his finances also surfaced — including the source of what he claimed was a quickly amassed fortune despite recent financial problems, including evictions and owing thousands of dollars in back rent.
Santos has resisted calls to resign and recently announced he was running for reelection. He said his lies about his life story, which included telling people he had jobs at several global financial firms and a lavish real estate portfolio, were harmless embellishments of his resume.
Pressure on him to quit, though, has been intense. Reporters and members of the public hounded him. He was mocked on social media and late-night television. Fellow New York Republicans demanded he resign, saying he had betrayed voters and his own party with his lies.
Nassau County prosecutors and the New York attorney general’s office had previously said they were looking into possible violations of the law.
Besides questions about his life story, Santos’ campaign spending stoked scrutiny because of unusual payments for travel, lodging and other items.
The nonpartisan Campaign Legal Center lodged a complaint with the Federal Election Commission and urged regulators to investigate Santos. The “mountain of lies” Santos propagated during the campaign about his life story and qualifications, the center said, should prompt the commission to “thoroughly investigate what appear to be equally brazen lies about how his campaign raised and spent money.”
In his filings with the FEC, Santos initially said he loaned his campaign and related political action committees more than $750,000 — money he claimed came from a family company.
Yet, the wealth necessary to make those loans seems to have emerged from nowhere. In a financial disclosure statement filed with the clerk of the U.S. House in 2020, Santos said he had no assets and an annual income of $55,000.
His company, the Devolder Organization, wasn’t incorporated until spring 2021. Yet last September, Santos filed another financial disclosure form reporting that this new company, incorporated in Florida, had paid him a $750,000 salary in each of the last two years, plus another $1 million to $5 million in dividends. In one interview, Santos described the Devolder Organization as a business that helped rich people buy things like yachts and aircraft.
Court records indicate Santos was the subject of three eviction proceedings in Queens between 2014 and 2017 because of unpaid rent.
Some Republicans, including those in his district, have sharply castigated Santos for his dishonesty. The Nassau County Republican Committee, which had supported his candidacy, said it would not support Santos for reelection.
Santos lost his first race for Congress in 2020 but ran again in 2022 and won in a district that is in the suburbs of Long Island and a sliver of Queens.
A local newspaper, the North Shore Leader, had raised issues about Santos’ background before the election but it was not until a few weeks after the election that the depth of his duplicity became public.
The New York Times reported that companies where Santos claimed to have worked, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs, had no record of him having been an employee. Baruch College, where Santos claimed to have gotten a degree in finance and economics, said he hadn’t been a student.
Beyond his resume, Santos invented a life story that has also come under question, including claims that his grandparents “fled Jewish persecution in Ukraine, settled in Belgium, and again fled persecution during WWII.”
During his campaign, he referred to himself as “a proud American Jew.”
Confronted with questions about that story, Santos, a Roman Catholic, said he never intended to claim Jewish heritage.
The Times also uncovered records in Brazil that show Santos, when he was 19, was the subject of a criminal investigation there in 2008 over allegations he used stolen checks to buy items at a clothing shop in the city of Niteroi, which is near Rio de Janeiro. Brazilian authorities said they have reopened the case.

Several household items which once belonged to Alex and Maggie Murdaugh were placed up for auction on Thursday afternoon.
Once-prominent South Carolina attorney Alex Murdaugh was sentenced to two life terms after a jury convicted him of killing his wife, Maggie, and son, Paul Murdaugh.
The contents of the home Alex and Maggie shared were given to Liberty Auction to sell. The auction house placed many of the items taken from the home up for sale, including a brown leather sofa and a collection of mounted skulls.

Murdaugh was convicted of killing Maggie and Paul at their South Carolina home. The two were shot to death and found near the dog kennels on the family’s 1,770-acre estate in Islandton.
Despite the high-profile nature of the Murdaugh case, Liberty Auction owner Lori Mattingly told CNN via phone that she treated cleaning out the Moselle estate “just like any other job.”
“Their things are not better or nicer than any other things that we pick up from other people’s homes,” Mattingly told CNN. “We go into a lot of very nice, expensive homes … and we’ve had much nicer things than theirs, but their things are nice.”
The auction house did not disclose the number of items it was selling from the Murdaugh property.

New York (CNN) — When you’re using your hard-earned money to pay for goods and services, chances are you’re not in the mood for aggravation, nor in favor of a bait-and-switch routine.
And yet … US consumers encountered plenty of both last year.
The Consumer Federation of America on Wednesday put out its annual list of top complaints filed with city, county and state consumer agencies across the United States. All in, they handled nearly 600,000 complaints in 2022 and recovered more than $740 million for consumers through mediations, court enforcement actions and other means, the CFA said.
While these are the agencies where anyone can file a complaint, they can be especially helpful for people who don’t have the time or the means to resolve or litigate a dispute with a business on their own.
The top complaint in 2022 was …
The No. 1 consumer complaint in 2022 pertained to the sales and repairs of new and used autos. That category has held the top spot for seven years running, the CFA said.
When trying to buy, lease or repair their cars, SUVs and pickups, “consumers filed complaints about add-on products and services, bait and switch pricing, and mechanical condition issues,” the report noted.
One example cited pertained to a person leasing a Kia at a local dealership in Florida. “A consumer reported that they were charged a dealer fee of $995 when purchasing their lease. When they brought it up to a Kia salesman, they were told that it was ‘company policy,’” according to the report.
After the local county consumer affairs office reached out to the dealership to ask what the rationale was for the fee, the dealership responded by refunding the customer’s $995, the CFA said.
Home repairs and renovations take the No. 2 slot
Who doesn’t want to live in a new and improved home — or at least a well-functioning one?
Getting the work done right, however, can extract a pound of flesh, judging from the No. 2 consumer complaint from last year: home repairs and renovations.
“Many consumers complained of shoddy and incomplete home repair work performed by individuals without the proper licensure or expertise,” the CFA report said. “Consumers often pay for services in advance and have trouble obtaining a refund or corrections to the shoddy work when the relationship deteriorates.”
The CFA included as an example a case of a senior citizen who hired a contractor to make a small repair at their home. The contractor convinced the homeowner they needed a major remodel and proceeded to bill them $170,000 for work the homeowner said was poorly done and “grossly overcharged.” Enter the local consumer and business affairs department, which got the contractor to return $125,000 to the homeowner.
No. 3: Consumer debt and credit
In the No. 3 spot were complaints about consumer debt and credit.
Among the stories included in the CFA report is one of a Spanish-speaking credit card holder who had a promotional rate on their card. To avoid being hit with high interest when the promotional rate expired, they had to pay off their whole balance by a given due date. The customer attempted to do just that a couple of days before their promotional plan ended. But the credit card company’s computer system was down for a few days, after which the company charged the customer the interest they would have avoided had the company system been working.
When the card holder contacted the company to explain the situation, they were told they had to pay the interest, which amounted to nearly $2,000, the CFA report said.
The local consumer affairs office, however, reminded the credit card company that in fact “they themselves acknowledged their system error and were allowing consumers an extension if they had a payment due during the outage,” the report noted. End result: The customer got their money back with an apology.

BOSTON — Annabel Rabiyah's morning walk to harvest crops looks much different than most farmers. She has to make her way up a freight elevator and past a series of power generators to harvest crops.
On the roof of Boston Medical Center, Rabiyah is surrounded by rows and rows of fresh produce: lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and corn.
"Since it's such a small space, we do a lot of interplanting," she said. "We're constantly trying to maximize space."
While this might look like a typical urban garden, the 5,000 pounds of produce they grow is bound for patients inside the hospital.
David Maffeo, who oversees the hospital's support services department, helped launch the rooftop garden and food pantry located in the basement.
"If we grow spinach, we'll say to a patient that we just grew that outside your window. They love that," he said.
As the idea took root, it grew into something much larger than anyone planned.
Latchman Hiralall, who oversees the food pantry, spends his days helping to fill prescriptions for patients. Not for antibiotics or ointments, but for fresh vegetables grown on the roof.
"We want to build food-resilient infrastructure in the community we serve," he said.
It only takes five minutes to get food from the roof to the food pantry.
Adding another layer of freshness to the entire concept, the program also has a cooking component, where Olivia Weinstein helps to teach patients about the importance of using fresh produce.
"It's one thing to help recommend dietary changes, it's another to teach," she said.
The entire program recently gained national attention at the White House Food Summit. The hope is to get more funding to better connect resources for patients.
"Across the country, there are a lot of hospitals like ours, and we'd love to help them replicate that," Maffeo said.

ROME, Italy — Pope Francis briefly went to a hospital on Tuesday for tests and returned to the Vatican, witnesses and news reports said, two months after he was hospitalized with an acute case of bronchitis.
The ANSA news agency said Francis went to Rome's Gemelli hospital Tuesday morning for tests. Witnesses at the Vatican's Perugino gate, one of the main entrances to the city state, told The Associated Press that Francis returned to the Vatican a short while later, and greeted guards as he usually does.
Francis, 86, spent three days at Rome’s Gemelli hospital in late March. Initially, the Vatican said he had gone in for scheduled tests, but the pontiff later revealed he had felt pain in his chest and was rushed to the hospital where bronchitis was diagnosed. He was put on intravenous antibiotics and was released April 1, quipping that he was “still alive.”
The Argentine pope had part of one lung removed when he was a young man. He also suffers from sciatica nerve pain and has been using a wheelchair and walker for more than a year because of strained ligaments in his knee.
Francis has had a packed schedule of late, with multiple audiences each day. The Vatican has recently confirmed a travel-filled August, when the Holy See and Italy are usually on vacation, with a four-day visit to Portugal the first week of August and a similarly long trip to Mongolia starting Aug. 31.
In a sign that the trips were very much on, the Vatican on Tuesday released the planned itinerary for Francis' visit to Portugal for World Youth Day events from Aug. 2-6. The itinerary confirms a typically busy schedule that includes all the protocol meetings of an official state visit plus multiple events with young people and a day trip to the Marian shrine at Fatima.
Francis' next public appointment, if confirmed, would be his weekly general audience on Wednesday in St. Peter's Square.

The mission of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation is to accelerate the development of new treatments and ultimately a cure for pulmonary fibrosis. Until this goal is achieved, the PFF is committed to advancing improved care of patients with PF and providing unequaled support and education resources for patients, caregivers, family members, and health care providers.

Planned Strategic Transaction for Enterprise Apps Business Line Valued at $69 Million Progressing
Conference Call to be Held Today at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time
PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Inpixon® (Nasdaq: INPX), the Indoor Intelligence® company, today provided a business update and reported its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2022.
"We took a number of actions in the third quarter in furtherance of our objective to unlock value for our shareholders," commented Nadir Ali, CEO of Inpixon. "We implemented initiatives to streamline our operations and reduce our operating costs. We also signed a definitive agreement for the spinoff and sale of our enterprise apps business segment with KINS Technology Group Inc. in a transaction valued at approximately $69 million, which we believe is a significant win for our shareholders. We continue to see strong demand for expansions within our existing customer base across both business lines within our Indoor Intelligence segment. Although overall macroeconomic market conditions have resulted in some challenges, we still achieved revenue growth of approximately 30% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to the same period last year. We believe the activities we are undertaking will have a meaningful impact in accelerating the path to profitability and positioning our Indoor Intelligence business lines for continued growth and long-term success."
Financial Results
Revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 were $4.2 million and $14.1 million, respectively, compared to $4.5 million and $10.9 million for the comparable periods in the prior year for a decrease of approximately 6% and an increase of approximately 30%, respectively. This decrease during the third quarter of 2022 is primarily attributable to delayed shipments in the IIoT product line of our Indoor Intelligence segment and lower sales for the SAVES product line. The increase in sales for the nine-month period, is primarily attributable to the addition of the CXApp product line in our Indoor Intelligence segment during the second quarter of 2021 and the addition of the Intranav product line in the fourth quarter of 2021. Gross profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $2.9 million and $10.1 million, respectively, compared to $3.3 million and $7.9 million for the 2021 respective periods, representing a decrease of approximately 10% and an increase of 28%, respectively. The gross profit margin for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, was 70% and 71%, compared to 73% and 73% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. This decrease in margin is primarily due to the sales mix during the periods.
Net loss attributable to stockholders of Inpixon for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was $17.6 million and $48.7 million, respectively, compared to $33.6 million and $31.4 million, respectively, for the comparable periods in the prior year. This increase in loss was primarily attributable lower gross profit, a $7.6 million goodwill impairment and other non-cash items including an unrealized net loss on equity securities, offset by decreased operating expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, was a loss of $8.2 million and $26.9 million, respectively, compared to a loss of $6.7 million and $18.5 million for the prior year periods, respectively. Non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income or loss before interest, provision for income taxes, depreciation and amortization plus adjustments for other income or expense items, non-recurring items and non-cash items including stock-based compensation.
Proforma non-GAAP net loss per basic and diluted common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 was a loss of $3.96 and $13.44, respectively, compared to a loss of $3.77 and $13.68 for the prior year periods. Non-GAAP net loss per share is defined as net loss per basic and diluted share adjusted for non-cash items including stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and one-time charges and other adjustments including impairment of goodwill, provision for valuation allowance on notes, and acquisition costs.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management believes that certain financial measures not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") are useful measures of operations. EBIDTA, Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma net loss per share are non-GAAP measures. Inpixon defines "EBITDA" as net income (loss) before interest, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a metric for which it manages the business, and Inpixon defines "Adjusted EBITDA" as EBITDA plus adjustments for other income or expense items, non-recurring items and non-cash items. Inpixon defines "pro forma net loss per share" as GAAP net loss per share adjusted for stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and one-time charges including impairment of goodwill and provision for valuation allowances.
Management provides Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma net loss per share measures so that investors will have the same financial information that management uses, which may assist investors in assessing Inpixon's performance on a period-over-period basis. Adjusted EBITDA or pro forma net loss per share is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or any other measure of performance under GAAP, or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows or as a measure of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA and pro forma net loss per share have limitations as analytical tools and should not be considered either in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Inpixon's results as reported under GAAP.
For more information on our non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP measures, please see the "Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures" table accompanying this press release.
Important Information and Where to Find It
In connection with the proposed business combination of Inpixon's enterprise apps business segment, which will be held by CXApp Holding Corp. ("CXApp"), with KINS (the "Business Combination") and the distribution of CXApp common stock to Inpixon securityholders, CXApp has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1 (the "Form S-1"), which includes a preliminary prospectus registering shares of CXApp common stock and KINS has filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 (the "Form S-4"), which includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus in connection with the KINS stockholder vote required in connection with the Business Combination and the registration of shares of KINS common stock, warrants and certain equity awards.

It is not intended to form the basis of any investment decision or any other decision in respect to the Business Combination. KINS's stockholders and Inpixon's stockholders and other interested persons are advised to read, when available, the preliminary and definitive registration statements, and documents incorporated by reference therein, as these materials will contain important information about KINS, CXApp and the Business Combination.

Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include, but are not limited to: the risk that the transactions may not be completed in a timely manner or at all, which may adversely affect the price of Inpixon's or KINS's securities; the risk that KINS stockholder approval of the Business Combination is not obtained; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, the amount of funds available in KINS's trust account following any redemptions by KINS's stockholders; the failure to receive certain governmental and regulatory approvals; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic or the conflict between Russia and Ukraine; the outcome of litigation related to or arising out of the Business Combination, or any adverse developments therein or delays or costs resulting therefrom; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the transactions on Inpixon's, CXApp's or KINS's business relationships, operating results, and businesses generally; the fluctuation of economic conditions; the impact of COVID-19, global conflicts, inflation and other global events on Inpixon's results of operations and global supply chain constraints; Inpixon's ability to integrate the products and business from acquisitions into its existing business; the performance of management and employees; the regulatory landscape as it relates to privacy regulations and their applicability to Inpixon's technology; Inpixon's ability to maintain compliance with Nasdaq's continued listing requirements; the ability to obtain financing if needed; competition; general economic conditions; the ability to continue to meet Nasdaq's listing standards following the consummation of the Business Combination; costs related to the Business Combination; that the price of KINS's or Inpixon's securities may be volatile due to a variety of factors, including Inpixon's, KINS's or CXApp's inability to implement their business plans or meet or exceed their financial projections and changes in the combined capital structure; the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the Business Combination, and identify and realize additional opportunities; and the ability of CXApp to implement its strategic initiatives.
The foregoing list of factors is not exhaustive. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the "Risk Factors" section of Inpixon's most recent annual report on Form 10-K, KINS's registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-249177) and the Form S-4, the Form S-1, the proxy statement/prospectus and certain other documents filed or that may be filed by Inpixon, KINS or CXApp from time to time with the SEC following the date hereof. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements, and Inpixon, CXApp and KINS assume no obligation and do not intend to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
None of Inpixon, CXApp or KINS gives any assurance that Inpixon, CXApp or KINS will achieve their expectations.

Unity Shoppe has been selected as a charity partner for Albertsons’ annual Nourishing Neighbors campaign, helping ensure every child has access to a healthy breakfast.
During September, all donations made at the Vons and Albertsons stores in Goleta will be used to provide breakfast foods to low-income households throughout the Santa Barbara area.
“Success in school and overall health is enhanced with a well balanced breakfast,” Tom Reed, executive director of Unity Shoppe, said in a news release. “Offering more breakfast food items will enable our client families to better provide for their children.
“Unity Shoppe serves approximately 7,500 children in Santa Barbara County each year,” Mr. Reed noted. “This partnership with the Albertsons Foundation will ensure that food shelves can remain stocked with nourishing breakfast items for our neighbors in need.”
Nourishing Neighbors aims to fight hunger by helping to keep food banks stocked, supporting meal distribution programs at schools, and supporting programs that provide food to seniors. As a program of the Albertson’s Foundation, it is working to eradicate childhood hunger in America.
With as many as one in four children in America at risk of hunger, the funds raised in September will be dedicated to local efforts that ensure every child has access to a healthy breakfast, according to a news release.
The deadline for donations is Sept. 30. To donate food, stop at these Goleta locations: Vons, 163 S. Turnpike; Albertsons, 5801 Calle Real; and Albertsons, 7127 Hollister Ave.

On Election Day next Tuesday, Nov. 8, among elections for New York Governor, Attorney General and Mayor of Ithaca, Ithaca voters will find two referendums on their ballots — one to create a city manager position and another state-wide referendum on the Environmental Bond Act.
The city manager referendum proposes to create a new position in Ithaca, which has generated some conversation among local politicians. If the referendum is approved, Ithaca’s Common Council would appoint and supervise a city manager, who would take office in 2024.
Acting Mayor Laura Lewis strongly supports the creation of the city manager role. She believes the shift in government structure will allow for more transparency between elected officials and voters.
“In the organization of city government that we are proposing through this referendum, the mayor would have a full vote on Common Council,” Lewis said. “That increases the transparency and the accountability for the public, with the mayor not only proposing policy, but then having to vote on such matters as come before Common Council.”
Lewis added that this position would streamline city government processes.
“A city manager would be hired for management experience and qualifications, and would be hired by and report to the Common Council rather than to one individual, being the mayor,” Lewis said. “It has greater sustainability, accountability and transparency.”

Ithaca’s city manager would work closely with the Common Council, providing management experience and building the budget. Coordinating with department heads, the city manager would also facilitate the needs of various departments across Ithaca’s government.
Kenneth Mix, the acting city manager of Watertown, NY, has similar responsibilities within the Watertown city government.
“I have oversight of all the departments, and all department heads report to me,” Mix said. “Since we’ve got such a variety of departments, each day could be completely different from the last day.”

Watertown appointed its first city manager in 1920, and Mix has worked in the city manager’s office for over 30 years. Mix thinks that the city manager government structure benefits smaller communities like Watertown. Many other nearby cities, including Auburn and Corning, have adopted a similar style of government.
However, some local politicians are skeptical of Ithaca’s need for a city manager. Katie Sims ’20, an independent candidate for mayor, explained why she does not support the city manager referendum.
“To say that drafting the budget is an administrative task and not a political one I think is misleading,” Sims said. “I think voters should very carefully consider whether they want to give up their choice of who drafts the budget.”
Because the city manager is an appointed role rather than an elected one, Sims worries that decisions made by the city manager would not best reflect the interests of voters. Sims makes a similar case for police reform and sidewalk snow removal, decisions that she believes are better left to the public. Ultimately, Sims is glad that the city manager proposal has been left to the public vote and is excited to see the results.
The other referendum on the ballot is the Environmental Bond Act, which would invest $4.2 billion of state bonds in environmental protection, natural restoration, resiliency and clean energy projects across New York state. The Environmental Bond Act also requires that 35 to 45 percent of all funds go towards projects in disadvantaged communities.
Sims, an advocate for climate justice, explained why she will be voting ‘yes’ on the Environmental Bond Act.
“Clean water, clean air, good green jobs, mitigating climate change, investing in climate adaptation — these are all really, really key public goods, and it makes sense to me to invest really strongly in them,” Sims said.
Sims also mentioned that with Ithaca’s increasing flood risk and recent Green New Deal, state-level funding would allow Ithaca to complete more expensive projects to achieve the sustainability goals of the city.
“Now is really the time to make these investments,” Sims said. “I don’t think that it makes sense to take on an austerity stance now when we have the opportunity to mitigate the effects of climate change now, and we have the chance to adapt to climate change disasters before they happen.”

BOSTON (AP) — Cal Calamia waited extra long to run the Boston Marathon. Being able to enter as a nonbinary athlete made it worth the delay.
“To be able to do it in this way, in this category, makes it so much more special,” said Calamia, who had hoped to run in 2020, when the race was canceled because of COVID-19, and in 2021, when Calamia was sidelined by a soccer injury. “Knowing how much work has gone into getting this category – in a way, that was already a win.”
Calamia, 26, of San Francisco, advocated for the new division and ran with a transgender flag patch on their singlet. Twenty-seven runners registered as nonbinary; Calamia was second to Kae Ravichandran of Vermont, who finished in 02:38:57.
Spectators who recognized Calamia from pre-race news coverage shouted encouragement.
“All over the place," they said. "I heard people shouting my name and I didn’t even know who they were.”
The next goal, Calamia said: prize money for the nonbinary division. The men's and women's winners — Evans Chebet and Hellen Obiri — received $150,000 apiece; wheelchair, masters and para divisions also receive payouts.
“It doesn’t have to be, like, Evans Chebet money,” they said.
The Chicago Marathon added a nonbinary division in the fall. So has the London Marathon, which is Sunday.
“I just hope it grows,” Calamia said. “We’re here. Trans people are here. We’re not going anywhere. I hope other races continue to add this category.”

The New York Republican who toppled the House Democrats’ campaign chairman this week is calling for the GOP to move beyond former President Trump.
Mike Lawler, a state assemblyman who upset Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney (D-N.Y.) on Tuesday, said he’d “like to see the party move forward” after the midterm elections, where Republicans failed to deliver the victories they’d promised in a cycle they were expected to own.
“Anytime you are focused on the future, you can’t so much go to the past,” Lawler said in an interview with CNN. “And I think people are really excited about the opportunity to address the challenges that we’re facing as a country. And I think more focus needs to be on the issues and the substance of those issues than on personalities.”
Lawler, 36, was a rare bright spot for the underperforming Republicans in Tuesday’s midterms, defeating Maloney, a 10-year veteran and leader of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, in a Hudson Valley district that was considered safe for the incumbent Democrat just a few months earlier.
Elsewhere, Democrats were able to defend dozens of threatened seats in battleground districts, defying expectations in a year when President Biden is unpopular and voter anxieties about crime and the economy were expected to produce big gains for the GOP. Instead, two days after voters went to the polls, both the House and Senate remain too close to call.
The results have frustrated Republicans of all stripes, who are pointing plenty of fingers this week about where the blame should fall. Increasingly, that blame seems to be landing on Trump, who had endorsed scores of GOP candidates nationwide, a number of them controversial figures who had promoted the former president’s spurious claims about a “stolen” 2020 election.
That list includes Mehmet Oz, who lost a close Senate contest in Pennsylvania; Tudor Dixon, who lost a governor’s race in Michigan; and Don Bolduc, a Senate candidate who was defeated in New Hampshire.
Additionally, in two outstanding Senate races in Arizona and Georgia, both of the Trump-backed Republicans — Blake Masters and Herschel Walker, respectively — are trailing the Democratic incumbents.
The struggles facing Trump’s candidates have helped to vindicate Maloney, who had come under fire from Democrats this year for using Democrat campaign dollars to boost conspiracy-minded conservatives in GOP primaries. The most high-profile of those candidates, John Gibbs, was defeated soundly on Tuesday in Michigan, flipping a seat currently held by a Republican.
Among Republicans, however, the string of defeats has dented Trump’s image as a GOP kingmaker and consummate political “winner.” And Lawler this week was joined by a long and growing list of Republicans who are hoping to put Trump in the rearview mirror.
Also appearing on CNN on Thursday, Geoff Duncan, Georgia’s Republican lieutenant governor, said Trump has hobbled the party’s chances in a state where a neck-and-neck Senate race could decide which party controls the upper chamber next year.
“In Georgia, the drag factor is tangible,” Duncan said. “The Trump drag factor is real.”
In Wisconsin, former House Speaker Paul Ryan (R) echoed that message, warning Republicans that Trump is more a liability than an asset.
“I think Donald Trump gives us problems, politically. We lost the House, the Senate and the White House in two years when Trump was on the ballot, or in office,” Ryan told WISN 12 News, a local news outlet. “I think we just have some Trump hangover. I think he’s a drag on our office, on our races.”
The GOP’s post-election soul searching has highlighted the delicate relationship Republicans have maintained with Trump since he came roaring onto the political scene in 2015.
Republicans rallied behind the political outsider, particularly after his stunning upset of Hillary Clinton, even as he bucked conservative traditions to reject free trade, support entitlement spending and oppose a hawkish U.S. presence overseas.
But Trump’s refusal to accept the 2020 election results — and his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol that followed — has eroded his support among Republicans, polarizing the party even more than it was during his tumultuous presidency. And his aggressive involvement in a disappointing midterm cycle has only heightened those internal tensions.
Trump, for his part, has rejected the conventional assessments about the midterm landscape. He’s pointing to several big victories he scored this week, including J.D. Vance’s win in Ohio’s tight Senate race. And on his Truth Social Account, he characterized Tuesday as a “GREAT EVENING.”
Still, behind the scenes, the former president is reportedly fuming over the results. And he’s now weighing whether to delay Tuesday’s expected launch of his 2024 presidential campaign, according to The Washington Post.
Lawler, for one, appears ready to see him go.
“I think moving in a different direction as we move forward is a good thing, not a bad thing,” he told CNN. “But ultimately, look, the voters will decide what they want to do, and the former president will decide what he wants to do.”

– Interim Analysis Revealed Unexpected High Placebo Rate; Two Active Arms Did Not Separate From Placebo –
– No New Safety Signals Observed for IMU-935 in this Trial –
– Company Expects to Continue IMU-935 Development in Psoriasis –
NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Immunic, Inc. (Nasdaq: IMUX), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing a pipeline of selective oral immunology therapies focused on treating chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, today announced the outcome of a pre-planned interim group-level data analysis of its phase 1b clinical trial of IMU-935 in patients with moderate-to-severe psoriasis. The overall trial is ongoing and remains blinded. The pre-planned interim analysis revealed that the group averages for Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) reductions in the two active arms did not separate from placebo at four weeks. Although the active arms performed in line with prior expectations, the trial experienced a greater decrease than expected in PASI in the placebo arm based on similarly designed trials.
The trial, conducted in Australia, New Zealand and Bulgaria, was structured as a 28-day, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. A total of 41 patients were enrolled and the trial evaluated IMU-935 at doses of 150 mg once-daily and 150 mg twice-daily versus placebo (randomized 3:1). The primary objective was the evaluation of the safety and tolerability of IMU-935 in moderate-to-severe psoriasis patients.
At this point, the company only has access to very limited information. The interim analysis only revealed mean values at group-level up to the end of the four-week treatment period. Immunic does not yet have access to unblinded individual patient data. Moreover, pharmacodynamic, biomarker – including skin punches and IL-17 levels in serum – or pharmacokinetic data, at either an individual or group-level, are not yet available. Based on the already available preclinical and clinical safety and tolerability data, Immunic has the flexibility to consider additional higher-dose or longer treatment cohorts. Supported by the broad availability of activity data from in vitro and in vivo studies in various disease models and settings, the company continues to believe in IMU-935's potential therapeutic activity.
Finally, although the safety data remains blinded, administration of IMU-935 and placebo in this trial were demonstrated to be safe and well-tolerated, and no new safety signals were observed.
"Although we did not see the desired activity signal over placebo in this group-level interim analysis, we retain a high degree of conviction on IMU-935's potential promise in psoriasis and beyond," stated Daniel Vitt, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer and President of Immunic. "Given the proven binding of IMU-935 to the molecular target RORγt, potent target inhibition as measured by transcription inhibition and secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-17A, IL-17F and IFNγ from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), proven inhibition of Th17 cell differentiation, and consistent activity in different animal models, including psoriasis, multiple sclerosis and graft-versus-host disease, we believe IMU-935 holds the potential to provide a safe, efficacious and meaningful treatment option to patients with psoriasis. That said, we look forward to a full and final analysis of data from this trial which hopefully allows us to better understand these early observations to determine the best next steps for this exciting program."
"The unexpected high placebo rates observed in this interim analysis are disappointing and confound the evaluation of activity in the investigated active treatment arms. This requires further investigation throughout the coming weeks and months," stated Andreas Muehler, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Immunic. "These were the first two dose levels tested in patients. Based on IMU-935's very favorable pharmacokinetic, safety and tolerability profile, to date, including absence of any dose-limiting toxicities in humans at doses exceeding those in this trial, and the preclinical safety and tolerability data, we have significant flexibility to explore higher dosing and longer treatment periods of this promising molecule. Availability of the full, unblinded individual patient data, and in particular the quantitative immunological markers, should help us to further guide the optimal development path for IMU-935."
The company reiterates its prior guidance that current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities are expected to fund operating and capital expenditures into the fourth quarter of 2024. Regarding the company's upcoming clinical milestones, as previously announced, data from the interim analysis of the phase 2 CALLIPER trial of vidofludimus calcium in progressive multiple sclerosis are expected to be available in the second half of 2023 and top-line data at the end of 2024. Moreover, the read-out of the first of the phase 3 ENSURE trials of vidofludimus calcium in relapsing multiple sclerosis is targeted for end of 2025. Finally, initial clinical efficacy data of the Part C portion of the ongoing phase 1 clinical trial of IMU-856 in celiac disease patients are expected in 2023.
About IMU-935
IMU-935 is a highly potent and selective inverse agonist of RORγ/RORγt (retinoic acid receptor-related orphan nuclear receptor gamma / truncated). The nuclear receptor RORγt is believed to be the main driver for the differentiation of Th17 cells and the release of cytokines involved in various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. This target is believed to be an attractive alternative to approved antibodies for targets, such as IL-23, the IL-17 receptor and IL-17 itself. IMU-935 showed strong cytokine inhibition targeting both Th1 and Th17 responses in preclinical testing, as well as indications of activity in animal models for psoriasis, graft-versus-host disease, multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel disease. Preclinical experiments indicated that, while leading to a potent inhibition of Th17 differentiation and cytokine secretion, IMU-935 did not affect thymocyte maturation. A phase 1 clinical trial evaluating single and multiple ascending doses in healthy human subjects showed a favorable safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetic profile of IMU-935. IMU-935 is an investigational drug product that has not been approved in any jurisdiction.

WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) – In just a few weeks, the Biden administration says borrowers will be able to apply for student loan forgiveness. With the cost of college still high, many lawmakers and advocates say there’s more to do on this issue.
Millions of people will soon see a drop in their student debt balance after President Joe Biden announced a plan to forgive up to $20,000 dollars for borrowers. It also caps regular loan payments at 5% of someone’s income and wipes out loans for some after 10 years of repayment.
Carmel Martin with the White House Domestic Policy Council says the application for forgiveness should be available sometime in October.
“The Department of Education is working around the clock to stand up the program,” Martin said.
Even with these steps, advocates are looking ahead. Melissa Byrne, with the group “We the 45M,” hopes this is just the beginning.
“Renew the fight for free college, renew the fight to get more debt canceled,” Byrne said.
Education Secretary Miguel Cardona says he recognizes loan forgiveness alone isn’t enough.
“Everybody has some work to do to make sure that college is more affordable, including our colleagues in higher education,” Cardona said.
Many lawmakers agree that there’s more to do on this issue, and they have some ideas.
Rep. Bobby Scott, D-Va., introduced a bill that would double the size of Pell grants and lower interest rates for loans.
“The student loan crisis isn’t the fault of the students,” Scott said.
He believes his LOAN Act can build on the President’s actions.
“We should be making college accessible to everyone,” Scott said. “Everyone should have the opportunity to move up in society and a college education is the quickest route to do that.”
Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., also has a pitch on college affordability. He introduced legislation that would make colleges pay half the balance of any student loan that’s fallen into default.
“The colleges ought to be the ones who are on the hook for the loans. That’s, I think, the way to really get at the issue here, which is that these colleges are getting rich by taking the money from students and giving them worthless degrees,” Hawley said.
Neither plan will move forward unless Democrats and Republicans find some common ground.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. — A Pennsylvania man faces federal criminal charges after he checked in a suitcase with an explosive device hidden in the lining on a flight to Florida, authorities said Wednesday.
Marc Muffley, 40, is charged with possessing an explosive in an airport and possessing or attempting to place an explosive or incendiary device on an aircraft, according to a criminal complaint.
Prosecutors allege that the material was found in a suitcase Muffley had checked in Monday at Lehigh Valley International Airport to Allegiant Air Flight 201, which was bound for Orlando Sanford International Airport in Florida.
After an alert during security screening, the bag was examined and found hidden in the lining was a "circular compound" about three inches in diameter encased in a wax-like paper and clear plastic wrap.
An FBI bomb technician X-rayed the compound and concluded that it contained a granular powder consistent with a "commercial grade firework" and "suspected to be a mixture of flash powder and the dark granulars that are used in commercial grade fireworks."
Attached to it was a "quick fuse" similar to a candle wick — apparently part of the original manufacture of the compound — as well as a "hobby fuse" that burns more slowly and appeared to have been added after the manufacture, authorities said.
Authorities said they concluded that both the black powder and flash powder "are susceptible to ignite from heat and friction and posed a significant risk to the aircraft and passengers," according to the criminal complaint.
The baggage also contained "a can of butane, a lighter, a pipe with white powder residue, a wireless drill with cordless batteries, and two GFCI outlets taped together with black tape," authorities said.
GFCI outlets are a type of circuit breaker.
Authorities said Muffley was paged over the airport's public address system and shortly thereafter he was seen leaving the airport. He was traced to a Lansford address where he was arrested by the FBI late Monday night.
Officials said he remains in custody pending a probable cause hearing and detention hearing Thursday at 1:30 p.m. in Allentown, with Muffley attending via videoconference. A message was left Wednesday for Muffley's federal public defender, Timothy Wright.

- Qcells plans to bring nearly 500 additional jobs to Whitfield County as part of its long-haul commitment to the U.S. solar market
- The investment marks Qcells' latest efforts to rebuild the U.S. solar supply chain and help meet growing demand for decarbonized energy sources
SEOUL, South Korea, May 26, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Qcells, the world's leading clean energy solutions provider, announces today that its new solar panel manufacturing facility will be located in Dalton, Georgia. The $171 million investment will boost production of advanced photovoltaic modules that will help the U.S. achieve its goals of decarbonizing the electric grid and creating good-paying manufacturing jobs.
"Our additional investment in Dalton will help Qcells better serve the needs of U.S. customers with increased local manufacturing capacity," said Qcells CEO Justin Lee. "Georgia has become the clean energy manufacturing heart of America, and we are proud to contribute to the state's advanced manufacturing economy."
The new facility will produce 1.4 gigawatts of solar modules per year made with Qcells' next generation photovoltaic cells, a high efficiency tunnel oxide passivated contact technology, better known as TOPCon. Located near the company's existing 1.7-gigawatt factory in Dalton, the expansion will bring Qcells' total capacity in the U.S. to 3.1 gigawatts, equivalent to one-third of the country's solar module manufacturing capacity.
"We are excited to see Qcells continue to expand in Georgia. The state of Georgia and Korea have enjoyed an outstanding partnership for decades, supported by a dedication to relationship building. We have been focused on bringing jobs and opportunities to hardworking Georgians across the state," said Georgia Governor Brian Kemp.
Qcells' expansion in Dalton is expected to bring 470 new jobs to Whitfield County. With more than 750 staff employed at the existing factory, total local employees will exceed 1,000 when the expansion is complete. Groundbreaking is planned for fall 2022 and operation is expected to commence within the first half of 2023.
The investment marks Qcells' latest efforts to rebuild the U.S. solar supply chain. In March, Qcells' parent company Hanwha Solutions became the largest shareholder of U.S. polysilicon manufacturer REC Silicon to secure reliable supply of the raw material crucial to solar panel manufacturing.
"I appreciate Qcells' sustained and growing investment in Georgia and the working relationship we've built to create more jobs and opportunities for Georgians. I will continue working to make Georgia a world leader in renewable energy innovation and manufacturing," said Senator Jon Ossoff.
Qcells retains the largest market share in the U.S. commercial and residential markets. According to the Wood Mackenzie Q1 2022 U.S. PV Leaderboard report, Qcells obtained 24.1 and 20.6 percent market shares in the residential and commercial sectors, respectively, in 2021. Qcells is also a leading supplier to the utility solar sector.
"I'm thrilled that Qcells has decided to expand its presence in Dalton, and I commend the company's smart investments in Georgia," said Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock. "I'll continue working closely with Qcells to incentivize solar production and encourage additional economic investments that create good-paying jobs, in North Georgia, and every corner of our state."
By working with partners in the U.S. and elsewhere, Qcells aspires to realize its vision of being a "completely clean energy solutions provider." From low-carbon solar products to smart energy solutions, Qcells' intends to help accelerate the energy transition and build a sustainable future for the next generations to come.

With investment grade credit rating from Moody's, attained investment grade ratings from all three major ratings agencies
Signed or awarded 1.1 GW of PPAs for new renewable energy projects in the first quarter of 2022, increasing the backlog to 10.3 GW
Construction on schedule for more than 2 GW of renewable energy projects expected to come online in 2022, with solar panels secured for all projects in the US
Q1 2022 Financial Highlights
Diluted EPS of $0.16, compared to ($0.22) in Q1 2021
Adjusted EPS1 of $0.21, compared to $0.28 in Q1 2021
Financial Position and Outlook
Reaffirming 2022 Adjusted EPS1 guidance range of $1.55 to $1.65
Reaffirming 7% to 9% annualized growth target through 2025, off a base year of 2020
ARLINGTON, Va., May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES) today reported financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.
"So far this year, we have attained a third investment grade rating and maintained our strategic momentum from last year by growing our backlog of contracted projects to 10.3 GW. We expect to complete all of these projects through 2025 and they will be a key contributor to our expected annualized growth of 7% to 9%," said Andrés Gluski, AES President and Chief Executive Officer. "In spite of supply chain issues impacting many sectors, we have secured solar panels for all of our projects in the US this year and currently expect no delays in their planned commissionings."
"Our resilient business model, which is centered around long-term contracted generation and utilities, continues to insulate us from macroeconomic headwinds such as inflation and interest rate fluctuations," said Stephen Coughlin, AES Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. "As in prior years, we expect the bulk of our earnings will be generated in the second half of the year and we remain on track to achieve our full year Adjusted EPS guidance of $1.55 to $1.65."
Q1 2022 Financial Results
First quarter 2022 Diluted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations (Diluted EPS) was $0.16, an increase of $0.38 compared to first quarter 2021, primarily reflecting lower impairments, partially offset by net gains in 2021 from early contract terminations at Angamos, higher income tax expense, the impact of realized gains on de-designated interest rate swaps in 2021, and the gain on remeasurement of the Company's interest in sPower's development platform in 2021.
First quarter 2022 Adjusted Earnings Per Share1 (Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure) was $0.21, a decrease of $0.07 compared to first quarter 2021, primarily reflecting the impact of realized gains on de-designated interest rate swaps in 2021 and lower contributions from the Company's Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean (MCAC) Strategic Business Unit (SBU), partially offset by higher contributions from the South America SBU.
Strategic Accomplishments
In the first quarter of 2022, the Company signed or was awarded 1,087 MW of renewables and energy storage under long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPA), primarily including 1,019 MW of solar and energy storage in the US.
The Company's backlog is now 10,307 MW expected to be completed through 2025, including:
Guidance and Expectations1
The Company is reaffirming its 2022 Adjusted EPS1 guidance of $1.55 to $1.65 and its 7% to 9% annualized growth rate target through 2025, from a base year of 2020.

THE AES CORPORATION NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Unaudited) RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED PRE-TAX CONTRIBUTION (PTC) AND ADJUSTED EPS
Adjusted PTC is defined as pre-tax income from continuing operations attributable to The AES Corporation excluding gains or losses of the consolidated entity due to (a) unrealized gains or losses related to derivative transactions and equity securities; (b) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses; (c) gains, losses, benefits and costs associated with dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, including early plant closures, and gains and losses recognized at commencement of sales-type leases; (d) losses due to impairments; (e) gains, losses and costs due to the early retirement of debt; and (f) net gains at Angamos, one of our businesses in the South America SBU, associated with the early contract terminations with Minera Escondida and Minera Spence. Adjusted PTC also includes net equity in earnings of affiliates on an after-tax basis adjusted for the same gains or losses excluded from consolidated entities.
Adjusted EPS is defined as diluted earnings per share from continuing operations excluding gains or losses of both consolidated entities and entities accounted for under the equity method due to (a) unrealized gains or losses related to derivative transactions and equity securities; (b) unrealized foreign currency gains or losses; (c) gains, losses, benefits and costs associated with dispositions and acquisitions of business interests, including early plant closures, and the tax impact from the repatriation of sales proceeds, and gains and losses recognized at commencement of sales-type leases; (d) losses due to impairments; (e) gains, losses and costs due to the early retirement of debt; (f) net gains at Angamos, one of our businesses in the South America SBU, associated with the early contract terminations with Minera Escondida and Minera Spence; and (g) tax benefit or expense related to the enactment effects of 2017 U.S. tax law reform and related regulations and any subsequent period adjustments related to enactment effects, including the 2021 tax benefit on reversal of uncertain tax positions effectively settled upon the closure of the Company's U.S. tax return exam.
The GAAP measure most comparable to Adjusted PTC is income from continuing operations attributable to AES. The GAAP measure most comparable to Adjusted EPS is diluted earnings per share from continuing operations. We believe that Adjusted PTC and Adjusted EPS better reflect the underlying business performance of the Company and are considered in the Company's internal evaluation of financial performance. Factors in this determination include the variability due to unrealized gains or losses related to derivative transactions or equity securities remeasurement, unrealized foreign currency gains or losses, losses due to impairments, strategic decisions to dispose of or acquire business interests or retire debt, and the non-recurring nature of the impact of the early contract terminations at Angamos, which affect results in a given period or periods. In addition, for Adjusted PTC, earnings before tax represents the business performance of the Company before the application of statutory income tax rates and tax adjustments, including the effects of tax planning, corresponding to the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Adjusted PTC and Adjusted EPS should not be construed as alternatives to income from continuing operations attributable to AES and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations, which are determined in accordance with GAAP.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP)Lamar Jackson’s injury may put even more pressure on the Baltimore Ravens’ defense.
Lately, that unit has been up to the challenge.
Jackson missed practice Wednesday – no surprise following his knee injury in last week’s win over Denver – and it looks more and more like the Ravens will have to rely on backup quarterback Tyler Huntley for at least their game at Pittsburgh on Sunday. However, Baltimore has held two of its last three opponents without a touchdown. If that keeps up, the Ravens can still win despite their offensive concerns.
”Those guys get paid too over there, to score, so when you keep them from scoring, which is the objective of the game, it feels good for us,” safety Chuck Clark said. ”We feel like we did something, but at the end of the day, we know we’ve got to keep stacking those.”
The Ravens rank 13th in the NFL in total defense, but the advanced stats tell a more promising story. They’re ninth on that side of the ball in Football Outsiders’ DVOA stat – sixth against the run and 11th against the pass.
Baltimore has come a long way since Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins scored 28 points in the fourth quarter to beat the Ravens 42-38 in Week 2. The Ravens have added players like Roquan Smith and Jason Pierre-Paul and welcomed back Tyus Bowser from an injury. In its past nine games, Baltimore has allowed an average of just 288 yards.
”We’re very confident with our team and with our defense, and we’re coming together,” said Bowser, who missed the first eight games because of an Achilles tendon injury. ”We’re developing that chemistry, and we’re very confident in our defense and what we can do.”
The Ravens signed Pierre-Paul in late September, but the biggest move came about a month later when Smith arrived in a trade from Chicago. Baltimore’s linebacking corps suddenly looked much different when the Ravens beat New Orleans 27-13 on Nov. 7. That was Bowser’s first game back and Smith’s debut with his new team.
Since then, the Ravens have a 13-3 win over Carolina, a 28-27 loss at Jacksonville and a 10-9 victory over Denver. A poor fourth quarter against the Jaguars is all that prevented this from being a truly exceptional stretch for the defense.
The quality of the competition hasn’t been great, but Baltimore isn’t about to be picky about where the wins come. The next four teams on the schedule are all under .500, and for however long Jackson isn’t playing, the defense will try to pick up the slack. The offense was already in a bit of a rut even before Jackson was hurt.
Smith is one of three defensive players in the league with at least 100 tackles and three sacks this season.
”Roquan has played at a very high level,” coach John Harbaugh said. ”All the guys have played at a high level on defense of late. He’s obviously been a little bit of a spark for us, too, I think you could say that for sure. I love him. I love the fact that he’s here and love his attitude and everything.”
There are other elements of Baltimore’s defense that have come on strong lately. The Ravens have 37 sacks, ranking fifth in the NFL, and linebacker Patrick Queen has made big strides in his third season.
Queen was limited in practice Wednesday because of a bruised thigh, but the fact that he was out there at all was a good sign after he was carted off in Sunday’s game.
”I could barely walk that day, but every day has been a step forward,” Queen said. ”I’m just still getting treatment right now, still hoping to get back out there.”
NOTES: OL Patrick Mekari (toe), G Kevin Zeitler (knee) and cornerback Daryl Worley (hamstring) missed practice. C/G Trystan Colon was out because of a personal matter. T Ronnie Stanley (ankle) was a full participant. … Clark was announced as the Ravens’ nominee for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year award.

TORONTO (AP) — Canada announced Monday it is banning TikTok from all government-issued mobile devices, reflecting widening worries from Western officials over the Chinese-owned video sharing app.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it might be a first step to further action or that it might be it.
“I suspect that as government takes the significant step of telling all federal employees that they can no longer use TikTok on their work phones many Canadians from business to private individuals will reflect on the security of their own data and perhaps make choices,” Trudeau said.
“I’m always a fan of giving Canadians the information for them to make the right decisions for them,” he added.
The European Union’s executive branch said last week it has temporarily banned TikTok from phones used by employees as a cybersecurity measure.
The EU’s action follows similar moves in the U.S., where more than half of the states and Congress have banned TikTok from official government devices.
Last week, Canada’s federal privacy watchdog and its provincial counterparts in British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec announced an investigation to delve into whether the app complies with Canadian privacy legislation.
TikTok is wildly popular with young people, but its Chinese ownership has raised fears that Beijing could use it to collect data on Western users or push pro-China narratives and misinformation. TikTok is owned by ByteDance, a Chinese company that moved its headquarters to Singapore in 2020
TikTok faces intensifying scrutiny from Europe and America over security and data privacy amid worries that the app could be used to promote pro-Beijing views or sweep up users’ information. It comes as China and the West are locked in a wider tug of war over technology ranging from spy balloons to computer chips.
Canadian Treasury Board President Mona Fortier said the federal government will also block the app from being downloaded on official devices in the future.
Fortier said in statement the Chief Information Officer of Canada determined that it “presents an unacceptable level of risk to privacy and security.”
The app will be removed from Canadian government issued phones on Tuesday.
“On a mobile device, TikTok’s data collection methods provide considerable access to the contents of the phone,” Fortier said.
“While the risks of using this application are clear, we have no evidence at this point that government information has been compromised.”
Recent media reports have also raised concerns about potential Chinese interference in recent Canadian elections, prompting opposition parties to call for a public inquiry into alleged foreign election interference.
“It’s curious that the Government of Canada has moved to block TikTok on government-issued devices—without citing any specific security concern or contacting us with questions—only after similar bans were introduced in the EU and the US,” a TikTok spokesperson said in a email.
The company is always available to discuss the privacy and security of Canadians, the statement said. “Singling out TikTok in this way does nothing to achieve that shared goal,” the email said. “All it does is prevent officials from reaching the public on a platform loved by millions of Canadians.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Friday’s game between the Nashville Predators and the Colorado Avalanche has been postponed due to a water main break that has soaked the downtown arena.
The NHL said the water main break has "significantly impacted the event level" of Bridgestone Arena. Team locker rooms and the ice surface are on the event level.
Video posted by a WTVF-TV reporter shows the water puddled up on the main floor’s concourse area and the team store.
A makeup date will be announced later.
Also, a decision on whether to postpone the Predators’ home game Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets will be made later.

Police are looking for three people who placed credit card skimmers on self-checkouts in a Cumberland County Walmart in January.
Lower Allen Township Police are looking for Alin Velcu, Catalin Velcu and Ion Velcu on charges of access device fraud and use of unlawful devices in relation to the placement of the skimmers on Jan. 7, 2023.
Security footage showed the three men enter a self-checkout line in Walmart and place two credit card skimmers, according to Lower Allen Township Police.
The skimmer devices collected credit card information that then allowed them to charge the cards. Eleven people had their cards charged in Maryland, Florida, Arizona, Texas and Virginia for thousands of dollars by multiple people, police said.
Police are also looking for Madalina Iordache Ciuciu, who police said is one of the people who used the stolen credit card information to make purchased.

(NEXSTAR) – Sheryl Crow has become the latest to share her thoughts on Jason Aldean’s controversial song “Try That in a Small Town,” calling it “just lame.”
Aldean released the song in May, but it has been heavily criticized since the song’s music video debuted last week. The video — filmed in front of a courthouse in Columbia, Tennessee, the site of the 1946 Columbia race riot and the 1927 mob lynching of an 18-year-old Black teenager named Henry Choate — was removed from Country Music Television (CMT) earlier this week.
During the video, images from protests, criminal acts, and demonstrations that took place during the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020 are projected onto the courthouse.
The video has received fervent criticism online, with some claiming the visual is a “dog whistle” and others labeling it “pro-lynching.”
Sheryl Crow took to Twitter Tuesday night, calling the song “not American or small town-like.”
“I’m from a small town,” Crow tweeted to Aldean. “Even people in small towns are sick of violence. There’s nothing small-town or American about promoting violence. You should know that better than anyone having survived a mass shooting.”
In 2017, Aldean was on stage at the Route 91 Festival in Las Vegas during the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The Nashville resident noted that in a tweet Tuesday as he defended the song, and made mention of the mass shooting at a Nashville school earlier this year that killed three students and three staff members.
“NO ONE, including me, wants to continue to see senseless headlines or families ripped apart,” he wrote.
“Try That In A Small Town, for me, refers to the feeling of a community that I had growing up, where we took care of our neighbors, regardless of differences of background or belief,” Aldean continued. “Because they were our neighbors, and that was above any differences.”
The video and its subsequent removal from CMT quickly blew up into one of the periodic culture war clashes, with several conservative figures speaking out in favor of Aldean — including Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders, South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem and Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert.
“It’s too easy to get guns, first and foremost,” Aldean told The Associated Press after the Las Vegas shooting. “When you can walk in somewhere and you can get one in 5 minutes, do a background check that takes 5 minutes, like how in-depth is that background check? Those are the issues I have. It’s not necessarily the guns themselves or that I don’t think people should have guns. I have a lot of them.”
This isn’t the first time Aldean has been at the center of controversy. In 2015, he made headlines for dressing as rapper Lil Wayne as a Halloween costume, wearing blackface makeup and a wig with dreadlocks.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The District of Columbia has requested National Guard assistance to help stem a “growing humanitarian crisis” prompted by thousands of migrants that have been sent to Washington by a pair of southern states.
Mayor Muriel Bowser formally asked the White House last week for an open-ended deployment of 150 National Guard members per day as well as “suitable federal location” for a mass housing and processing center, mentioning the D.C. Armory as a logical candidate. She met on July 21 with Liz Sherwood-Randall, assistant to the president for homeland security, and Julie Chavez Rodriguez, director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs.
The crisis began in spring when Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey announced plans to send busloads of migrants to Washington, D.C., in response to President Joe Biden’s decision to lift a pandemic-era emergency health order that restricted migrant entry numbers.
Since then the city estimates that nearly 200 buses have arrived, delivering more than 4,000 migrants to Union Station, often with no resources and no clue what to do next.
A coalition of local charitable groups has been working to feed and shelter the migrants, aided by a $1 million grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. But organizers have been warning that both their resources and personnel were nearing exhaustion.
“This reliance on NGOs is not working and is unsustainable — they are overwhelmed and underfunded,” Bowser said in her letter. She has repeatedly stated that the influx was stressing her government’s ability to care for its own homeless residents and required intervention from Biden’s government.
“We know we have a federal issue that demands a federal response,” Bowser said at a July 18 press conference.
In her letter, Bowser harshly criticizes Abbott and Ducey, accusing them of “cruel political gamesmanship” and saying the pair had “decided to use desperate people to score political points.”
Bowser does not have the authority to personally order a National Guard deployment, an issue that has become emotionally charged in recent years as a symbol of the district’s entrenched status as less than a state.
Her limited authority played a role in the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the Capitol building by supporters of former President Donald Trump. When it became clear that the U.S. Capitol Police were overmatched by the crowds, Bowser couldn’t immediately deploy the district guard. Instead, crucial time was lost while the request was considered inside the Pentagon, and protesters rampaged through the building.

SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. – The family of actor Julian Sands has released its first statement five months after he disappeared while hiking in California.
“We continue to hold Julian in our hearts with bright memories of him as a wonderful father, husband, explorer, lover of the natural world and the arts, and as an original and collaborative performer," the statement said.
Sands, the 65-year-old British-born actor best known for his role in the 1985 film “A Room With a View,” has been married for more than three decades to journalist Evgenia Citkowitz, and has three adult children.
They said they were “deeply grateful to the search teams and coordinators who have worked tirelessly to find Julian.”
A June 17 search for Sands on Southern California's Mount Baldy, the eighth organized search since his disappearance, was unsuccessful, authorities said. But the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department said the case remains active.
Sands, a longtime avid hiker and mountaineer, was reported missing January 13 after setting out to hike on the massive mountain, which rises more than 10,000 feet (3,048 meters) east of Los Angeles and was pounded by severe storms during winter.
Authorities said that while warmer weather made the latest search possible, parts of the mountain remain inaccessible due to dangerous conditions.

BEIJING, June 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- An interview with Sun Wanlu, editor of China.org.cn, on the international cooperation on Pandas:
Yaya, China's friendship envoy panda that traversed the Pacific to America 20 years ago, recently came back to China. Along with her return, pandas have once again become a viral hit around the world. In the past few decades, every panda that has lived outside China has captured the attention of countless people. These envoy pandas are a carrier of love for the animal from people all over the globe, and also lay witness to the communication and cooperation between China and other countries.
Just right here in the Dujiangyan Base of China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Panda (the Center), many pandas live their own stories.
In 1996, Baiyun and her male companion Shishi left for San Diego Zoo in the U.S. They were among the first batch of pandas that China sent to other countries for science and research cooperation. Back then, the two countries carried out many cases of interesting and cutting-edge research based on the programs China launched, supported by America's experience in animal nutrition and animal behavior studies. For example, in some online video clips, we can sometimes hear pandas baaing like sheep or chirping like birds, meaning they are rutting — that's just an example of one takeaway from the two countries' cooperation back then.
There is also gossip about Baiyun. It is said, when Baiyun was younger, she had a fiery temper. One time when she was in rutting season, her male companion Shishi was totally frigid, sitting there idly eating his food. So Baiyun went right on and gave Shishi a punch… Fortunately, later on, some Chinese experts went to America with artificial insemination techniques for pandas which enabled Baiyun gave birth to her cub Huamei.
Huamei is the first giant panda that survived her birth in America, as well as the first panda born outside China that returned to her home country later. Her name Huamei, meaning China and America, bears the goodwill of China-U.S. cooperation.
In these years, research staff from China have conquered "the trinity" of challenges for captivated pandas, namely challenges for rutting, for mating and conception, and for cub survival. Techniques to tackle these problems were introduced to other countries, and further integrated with local studies and techniques, enabling considerably more pandas to breed outside China.
We just mentioned that Baiyun wasn't satisfied with Shishi, so in 2003, the Center selected another Mr. Right for Baiyun and sent him to America, and that is Gaogao. The couple ended up breeding five cubs in America, all by spontaneous mating.
Every year or two, a new zoo would appear on the list of zoos that partnered with China on the conservation and research of giant pandas. Currently, China is working with 22 zoos in 19 countries. Dialogue and collaboration in behavioral studies, breeding and deliveries, and rearing management are all important elements in giant panda conservation.
Six years ago, I talked about the giant pandas' special contribution to China's diplomacy in a previous episode. Today, I learned more about cooperation on pandas' conservation and research, offering me a peek into the changes and developments in cooperation on pandas between China and other countries. For both China and the receiver countries, giant pandas are beyond a symbol of friendship — it is more of an icon of rare species, and a kaleidoscope that epitomizes humanity's joint efforts for protecting the ecological environment and building a community of life for man and nature.

KERNERSVILLE, N.C. — Monday WFMY News 2 heard from a family friend of a mother shot by her own son.
Kernersville Police said Thomas Gillie also shot and killed his mother's boyfriend and an innocent bystander.
Greensboro Police said that all happened after Gillie allegedly shot and killed his Father.
His mother who survived the shooting is being supported by family and friends.
Justin Mabe is apart of that support system. He's the son of Lori's best friend of 30 years.
He said Lori just got out of the hospital Monday.
She spent nearly two weeks there and underwent brain surgery after her son shot her in the head.
"She was as happy as she could be given the incident," Mabe said. "She was able to recount the event that happened and tell us."
All gruesome memories anyone would rather forget.
During the early morning hours of June 29, Kernersville police were called to Lori Darby and her boyfriend Kevin Smith's Kernersville apartment.
Police said when they got there Lori's son Thomas Gillie began shooting at them.
He surrendered a short time after.
Officers found Lori and her boyfriend of 6 years shot inside their home.
Lori survived but her boyfriend died.
"They were together for a long time he would do anything for them he was there to protect her," Mabe said.
Mabe also said Kevin did his best to protect Lori that night telling her to hide in the bathroom While her son fired off shots from outside through the window and breezeway.
"The way I found out everything happened I had left my grandmothers and I drove by where Thomas had lived and I saw it was a crime scene set out," Mabe said.
Police said Nathaniel Bart an innocent bystander was also shot and killed.
Mabe said Bart was getting ready for work when a bullet ricocheted into his home.
The question no one has an answer to is why Gille went on this rampage.
"I do know that he had some mental problems going on and they were trying to help him out we're not sure what triggered this tragedy to happen," Mabe said.
Greensboro Police said Gillie also killed his father in Greensboro that night, prior to attempting to kill his mother.
" It was unbelievable that that had happened because seeing Thomas talking to him and everything that happened it's just unbelievable for everyone," Mabe said.
Mabe said he and his mother's number one priority is helping Lori recover.
"I'm just trying to do anything I can," Mabe said. "I set up the GoFundMe I'm just trying to help where I can. I told my mom to tell her I'm there if she needs me."
Gillie is facing two counts of murder and attempted murder for the death of Bart and Smith.
He's currently not facing any charges in Greensboro for the death of his father, but GPD says he is the suspect in that death.

DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Ford Motor Co. is recalling over 634,000 SUVs worldwide because a cracked fuel injector can spill fuel or leak vapors onto a hot engine and cause fires.
The recall covers Bronco Sport and Escape SUVs from the 2020 through 2023 model years. All have 1.5-liter, three-cylinder engines.
The Dearborn, Michigan, automaker said Thursday it’s not recommending that owners stop driving the vehicles or park them outdoors because fires are rare and generally don’t happen when the engines are off.
But Ford said it has received 20 reports of fires, including three that ignited nearby structures. The company also said it has four claims of fires that were noticed less than five minutes after the engines were turned off. Ford also has four injury claims not involving burns, and 43 legal claims attributed to the problem.
Repairs aren’t yeta available, but once they are, owners should schedule service with a preferred dealer, Jim Azzouz, executive director of customer experience, said in a statement. Owners will be notified by letter starting Dec. 19.
Owners can take their SUVs to the dealer and get a free loaner, or they can get free pickup and delivery.
Dealers will inspect the injectors and replace them if necessary. Ford also says it’s extending warranties to cover cracked fuel injectors for up to 15 years.
Dealers will update the vehicles’ engine-control software so it detects a cracked injector. Drivers will get a dashboard message to get service. Also, if there’s a pressure drop in the injectors, engine power will be cut to minimize risk and let drivers get to a safe location to stop and call for service, Ford said.
They’ll also install a tube to drain fuel from the cylinder head and away from hot surfaces.
Ford said it’s not replacing the injectors because the failure rate that causes leaks is low, an estimated 0.38% for 2020 models and 0.22% for 2021 to 2022 models. The rate is for 15 years or 150,000 miles (240,000 kilometers).

‘Fleurish’ living up to its name in Olton, shipping to shoppers nationwide
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - A small business in Olton is growing outside its walls, shipping from the small town to customers across the nation.
Olton natives Kailey Harriss and Andrew Rejino took over the flower and gift shop in 2012. Flourish, which means to grow in a vigorous way, was planted in the shop’s name, Fleurish, as a play on words.
“We liked the word flourish and what it means, and then the word fleur in French means flowers. So, we kind of just mashed the two together and came up with Fleurish. So, it’s kind of a weird thing to spell for people,” Rejino said.
Harriss says she loves using her creativity to design bouquets for people in their hardest and happiest moments. She says Fleurish often creates arrangements for the funeral home in town and for events going on at the school.
“We are both self-taught florists and so that was kind of fun and interesting. And I feel like even being open for 10 plus years now, we learn something new every single day,” Harriss said.
Harriss and Rejino had worked together at the shop, under a different name, before they took ownership. When they took over, they expanded into clothing and online sales.
“I know personally being in high school and you needed a last-minute outfit for a banquet or something that was coming up, you would either have to go to Lubbock or you would have to go to Plainview. And this is such a fun jewel because the girls and kids and adults can just run down here and grab an outfit,” Harriss said.
Across the nation, shoppers are finding joy in the pink packages coming from Fleurish in the mail.
“As of recently, we’re getting orders from New York, Virginia. Florida is, honestly, weirdly, one of our top states that we ship to,” Rejino said.
Back inside the store, conversations with neighbors keep the store flourishing.
“We can talk to people, and I feel like we get to know people even more and kind of touch their lives in a different way that’s different from just them buying an outfit from us. But maybe they just need to talk to somebody or need a little bit of help. I know, we know, we do that personally sometimes,” Harriss said.
“We definitely say we always get therapy sessions from customers and we give therapy sessions. So, it’s always fun,” Rejino said.

KING - West Stokes got exactly the mid-season boost they were looking for with a 28-14 Mid-State 2A Conference victory over Morehead at the Wildcats Homecoming celebration Thursday night.
Entering the game after losing three-straight, and their lofty preseason ambitions in danger of slipping away, West Stokes head coach Chris Johnson said this was one his team had to have in order to have a shot at making the playoffs.
“We were down two games in conference play and couldn’t afford to go down three. Yes, it was a must-win situation for us,” Johnson said.
Morehead’s defense played well on West Stokes’ opening possession, but a pair of costly 15 yard penalties kept the Wildcats moving, and eventually, senior running back Dillon Stanley concluded the seven play drive with a 6 yard touchdown run to give his team the 7-0 lead with 8:31 to go in the first quarter.
People are also reading…
After trading possessions heading down the stretch of the opening frame, Morehead strung together a lengthy 14-play drive that culminated with a 1 yard touchdown plunge by junior quarterback Brittyn Barnes to tie the score at 7-7 in the opening minutes of the second quarter.
But the Wildcats responded right away on their next possession. Stanly broke the line on an off-tackle run, then instinctively bounced to the left and raced down the sideline for a 34 yard TD to increase the lead to 14-7 with 8:09 to go in the second period.
The West Stokes defense did their part as they forced a pair of punts and held Morehead scoreless by halftime to maintain the one-score advantage.
The Panthers seemed poised to answer in the early minute of the third period however, as they advanced the ball past the 50 with a fresh set of downs. But a MHS fumble gave West Stokes the ball back, and after another big run by Stanly, the Wildcats were in the red zone once again.
Two plays later, senior Dakota Barker scored from 3 yards out to increase the advantage to 21-7 with 9:03 to go in the third quarter.
The West Stokes defense made another stand, forcing a three-and-out and the Wildcats wasted little time breaking the game open on yet another score. This time, senior quarterback Mason Cain hit wide receiver Jasir Gaye on a sideline route. After hauling in the pass, the sophomore made a cut, then turned on the jets and ran virtually untouched for a 63 yard touchdown to increase the lead to 28-7 with 7:45 to go in the third period.
In the fourth quarter, Morehead junior Ca’Vontae Spencer came up with a fumble recovery, but the Panthers couldn’t capitalize offensively initially. The MHS defense kept things interesting, forcing three-consecutive punts that extended into the final frame. Mixing the run and the pass, the Panthers strung together an impressive 14-play drive and finally scored on a 12 yard pass from Barnes to junior Jacob Lunsford for a touchdown in the back of the end zone near the goal post to cut the lead to 28-14 with 5:28 to go in the game.
MHS went for the onside kick in an attempt to make a late run, but they couldn’t come up with the ball as the Wildcats ran out the clock to lock up the win.
“We just weren’t ready to play. We started to do some uncharacteristic things, and at the end of the day, that all falls on me. We’ve got to go back to the drawing board and correct those things,” Morehead head coach Maurice Torain said.
With just four Mid-State 2A Conference games remaining, two versus a pair of teams tied for first place in the league race in McMichael and Reidsville, Torain said his guys have to know there is still a lot to play for if the Panthers hope to earn a playoff bid.
“That’s what we’ve got to understand, the conference as a whole has improved, so it’s going to come down to who wants it more at the end. We played bad tonight, shot ourselves in the foot, but our season is not over by no means and that’s our focus,” said Torain.
Stanley was the key difference-maker for the Wildcats on a night where he scored a pair of rushing touchdowns.
Although Thursday’s win was definitely a step in the right direction, Johnson said his team is going to need more of that attack-style, take-no-prisoners mentality heading down the stretch to earn a post season spot as well.
“Absolutely, we did play with a chip on our shoulder. We feel like we haven’t performed our best and we have no one to blame but ourselves for being in that 0-2 hole and the only way to get yourself out of that is just to come together and fight together as one and I felt like we did that tonight,” said Johnson.
UP NEXT: Morehead (1-1, 3-3) hosts cross-county rival McMichael (2-0, 5-1) and West Stokes (1-2, 3-3) will hit the road to take on T.W. Andrews (1-2, 4-3) Oct. 7.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) and Incyte (NASDAQ:INCY) announced today that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved OLUMIANT® (baricitinib), a once-daily pill, as a first-in-disease systemic treatment for adults with severe alopecia areata (AA), available as 4-mg, 2-mg and 1-mg tablets.1 The recommended dose is OLUMIANT 2-mg/day, with an increase to 4-mg/day if treatment response is inadequate. For patients with nearly complete or complete scalp hair loss, with or without substantial eyelash or eyebrow hair loss, consider treating with 4-mg/day. Once an adequate response is achieved on 4-mg/day, the dosage is to be decreased to 2-mg/day.1 OLUMIANT is not recommended for use in combination with other JAK inhibitors, biologic immunomodulators, cyclosporine or other potent immunosuppressants.1
"People with alopecia areata, dermatologists and other healthcare providers have been looking forward to this day when there is an FDA-approved systemic medicine for this often-devastating disease. Alopecia areata causes unpredictable hair loss that can be patchy or complete, and it affects people of all ages and ethnicities," 2-4 said Brett King, M.D., Ph.D., F.A.A.D., associate professor of dermatology at Yale School of Medicine and lead investigator of the BRAVE-AA program. "I am so happy that adults with severe alopecia areata can now take OLUMIANT, a once-daily pill. The results of clinical trials are remarkable, as one in five adults taking OLUMIANT 2-mg/day and one in three taking OLUMIANT 4-mg/day achieved significant hair regrowth resulting in 80% or more scalp coverage, and eyebrow and eyelash improvements were also achieved for patients taking OLUMIANT 4-mg/day with substantial eyebrow or eyelash hair loss."1
The approval was based on Lilly's BRAVE-AA1 and BRAVE-AA2 trials, the largest Phase 3 AA clinical trial program completed to date,5-7 evaluating the efficacy and safety of OLUMIANT in 1,200 adult patients with severe AA (≥50% scalp hair loss as defined by a Severity of Alopecia Tool (SALT) score ≥50).1 Across the studies at 36 weeks, 17-22% of patients taking OLUMIANT 2-mg/day and 32-35% of patients taking OLUMIANT 4-mg/day achieved 80% or more scalp hair coverage, compared to 3-5% taking placebo.1 Additionally, 11-13% of patients taking OLUMIANT 2-mg/day and 24-26% of patients taking OLUMIANT 4-mg/day achieved 90% or more hair coverage, compared to 1-4% of patients taking placebo; results for OLUMIANT 2-mg/day were not statistically significant under the multiplicity control plan for BRAVE-AA2.1
Among patients with substantial eyebrow and eyelash hair loss at baseline, improvements in eyebrow and eyelash coverage were seen for patients taking OLUMIANT 4-mg daily at 36 weeks.1
The BRAVE-AA clinical program evaluated the safety profile of OLUMIANT.1 Few patients discontinued treatment due to adverse events (average of 2.2% across both studies) in the 36-week placebo-controlled period and the majority of treatment-emergent adverse events were mild or moderate in severity.8 The most commonly reported adverse reactions (≥1%) were upper respiratory tract infections, headache, acne, high cholesterol levels, increases in blood markers related to the muscle, urinary tract infections, elevated liver enzyme levels, inflammation of hair follicles, fatigue, lower respiratory tract infections, nausea, genital yeast infection, low red blood cell counts, low white blood cell counts, abdominal pain, shingles and weight increase.1 The U.S. FDA-approved labeling for OLUMIANT includes a boxed warning for risk of serious infections, mortality, malignancy, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and thrombosis.1 See below for full Important Safety Information.
"Today marks a milestone with the first-ever FDA-approved systemic treatment for alopecia areata patients, who face significant challenges every day including limited public knowledge about the disease, a lack of treatment options and social stigma,"9 said Nicole Friedland, president and chief executive officer, National Alopecia Areata Foundation (NAAF). "The approval of OLUMIANT can spark hope for many patients and encourage new treatment conversations with their doctors. NAAF wants more choices for our patient community and with the approval of OLUMIANT, there are now new treatment expectations being established in alopecia areata care."
Lilly is committed to ensuring patients have access to much-needed medicines and is working with insurers to do so. Through the OLUMIANT TogetherTM support program, Lilly offers a savings card for eligible commercially insured patients* to help with out-of-pocket costs where they pay as little as $5/month if covered by their insurance provider or $25/month if not covered by their plan. The savings card is available at specialty pharmacies, and in the coming days will be available for download on OLUMIANT.com.
"There is a significant unmet medical need for people with alopecia areata given there has never been an FDA-approved systemic medicine. In fact, a study published in 2017 of 1,083 people with AA showed that nearly 80 percent were unsatisfied with their treatment options,"10 said Patrik Jonsson, Lilly senior vice president, president of Lilly Immunology and Lilly USA, and chief customer officer. "Our mission is to make life better for people living with debilitating immune-mediated diseases. OLUMIANT's approval is a historic moment, and we're delighted about what it can mean for adults with severe alopecia areata."

OLUMIANT is a once-daily, oral JAK inhibitor discovered by Incyte and licensed to Lilly and is available through specialty pharmacies nationwide. Lilly also expects regulatory decisions for OLUMIANT in AA in the European Union and Japan in 2022.
About BRAVE-AA1 and BRAVE-AA2
In these double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 trials, 1,200 patients with severe AA were randomized to receive once-daily OLUMIANT 2-mg, OLUMIANT 4-mg or placebo.
- The primary endpoint was the proportion of patients achieving SALT ≤20 (i.e., 80% or more scalp hair coverage) at Week 36.1 Across both studies, 17-22% of patients taking OLUMIANT 2-mg/day (BRAVE-AA1=22% [n=40/184]; BRAVE-AA2=17% [n=27/156]) and 32-35% of patients treated with OLUMIANT 4-mg/day (BRAVE-AA1=35% [n=99/281]; BRAVE-AA2=32% [n=76/234]) achieved 80% or more scalp hair coverage, compared to 5% (n=10/189) and 3% (n=4/156) of patients taking placebo in BRAVE-AA1 and BRAVE-AA2, respectively (p≤0.001 for all comparisons to placebo).
- Additionally, 11-13% of patients taking OLUMIANT 2-mg/day (BRAVE-AA1=13% [n=23/184]; BRAVE-AA2=11% [n=17/156]) and 24-26% of patients taking OLUMIANT 4-mg/day (BRAVE-AA1=26% [n=73/281]; BRAVE-AA2=24% [n=55/234]) achieved 90% or more hair coverage, compared to 4% (n=7/189) and 1% (n=1/156) of patients taking placebo in BRAVE-AA1 and BRAVE-AA2, respectively (p<=0.001 for OLUMIANT 4-mg/day comparisons to placebo; p<=0.01 for OLUMIANT 2-mg/day comparison to placebo in BRAVE-AA1).1,8 SALT 10 (90% hair coverage) results for OLUMIANT 2-mg/day were not statistically significant under the multiplicity control plan for BRAVE-AA2.8

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR OLUMIANT (baricitinib) tablets
WARNING: SERIOUS INFECTIONS, MORTALITY, MALIGNANCY, MAJOR ADVERSE CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS, AND THROMBOSIS
SERIOUS INFECTIONS
Patients treated with Olumiant are at risk for developing serious infections that may lead to hospitalization or death. Most patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who developed these infections were taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate or corticosteroids. If a serious infection develops, interrupt Olumiant until the infection is controlled. Reported infections include:
- Active tuberculosis (TB), which may present with pulmonary or extrapulmonary disease. Olumiant should not be given to patients with active tuberculosis. Test patients, except those with COVID-19, for latent TB before initiating Olumiant and during therapy. If positive, start treatment for latent infection prior to Olumiant use.
- Invasive fungal infections, including candidiasis and pneumocystosis. Patients with invasive fungal infections may present with disseminated, rather than localized, disease.
- Bacterial, viral, and other infections due to opportunistic pathogens.
Carefully consider the risks and benefits of Olumiant prior to initiating therapy in patients with chronic or recurrent infection.
Closely monitor patients for the development of signs and symptoms of infection during and after treatment with Olumiant including the possible development of TB in patients who tested negative for latent TB infection prior to initiating therapy.
The most common serious infections reported with Olumiant included pneumonia, herpes zoster, and urinary tract infection. Among opportunistic infections, tuberculosis, multidermatomal herpes zoster, esophageal candidiasis, pneumocystosis, acute histoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, cytomegalovirus, and BK virus were reported with Olumiant. Some patients have presented with disseminated rather than localized disease, and were often taking concomitant immunosuppressants such as methotrexate or corticosteroids.
Avoid use of Olumiant in patients with an active, serious infection, including localized infections. Consider the risks and benefits of treatment prior to initiating Olumiant in patients: with chronic or recurrent infection; who have been exposed to TB; with a history of a serious or an opportunistic infection; who have resided or traveled in areas of endemic tuberculosis or endemic mycoses; or with underlying conditions that may predispose them to infection.
The risks and benefits of treatment with Olumiant in COVID-19 patients with other concurrent infections should be considered.
Consider anti-TB therapy prior to initiation of Olumiant in patients with a history of latent or active TB in whom an adequate course of treatment cannot be confirmed, and for patients with a negative test for latent TB but who have risk factors for TB infection.
Viral reactivation, including cases of herpes virus reactivation (e.g., herpes zoster), were reported in clinical studies with Olumiant. If a patient develops herpes zoster, interrupt Olumiant treatment until the episode resolves. The impact of Olumiant on chronic viral hepatitis reactivation is unknown. Screen for viral hepatitis in accordance with clinical guidelines before initiating Olumiant.
MORTALITY
In a large, randomized, postmarketing safety study in RA patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor comparing another Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers, a higher rate of all-cause mortality, including sudden cardiovascular death, was observed with the JAK inhibitor.
Consider the benefits and risks for the individual patient prior to initiating or continuing therapy with Olumiant.
MALIGNANCIES
Lymphoma and other malignancies have been observed in patients treated with Olumiant. In RA patients treated with another JAK inhibitor, a higher rate of malignancies (excluding non-melanoma skin cancer [NMSC]) was observed when compared with TNF blockers. Patients who are current or past smokers are at additional increased risk. A higher rate of lymphomas was observed in patients treated with the JAK inhibitor compared to those treated with TNF blockers. A higher rate of lung cancers and an additional increased risk of overall malignancies were observed in current or past smokers treated with the JAK inhibitor compared to those treated with TNF blockers.
Consider the benefits and risks for the individual patient prior to initiating or continuing therapy with Olumiant, particularly in patients with a known malignancy (other than successfully treated NMSC), patients who develop a malignancy, and patients who are current or past smokers.
NMSCs have been reported in patients treated with Olumiant. Periodic skin examination is recommended for patients who are at increased risk for skin cancer.
MAJOR ADVERSE CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS
In RA patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor treated with another JAK inhibitor, a higher rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (defined as cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction [MI], and stroke) was observed when compared with TNF blockers. Patients who are current or past smokers are at additional increased risk. Discontinue Olumiant in patients that have experienced a myocardial infarction or stroke.
Consider the benefits and risks for the individual patient prior to initiating or continuing therapy with Olumiant, particularly in patients who are current or past smokers and patients with other cardiovascular risk factors. Inform patients about the symptoms of serious cardiovascular events and the steps to take if they occur.
THROMBOSIS
Thrombosis, including deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), has been observed at an increased incidence in patients treated with Olumiant compared to placebo. In addition, there were cases of arterial thrombosis. Many of these adverse events were serious and some resulted in death. In RA patients 50 years of age and older with at least one cardiovascular risk factor treated with another JAK inhibitor, a higher rate of thrombosis was observed when compared with TNF blockers. Avoid Olumiant in patients at risk. Discontinue Olumiant and promptly evaluate patients with symptoms of thrombosis.
HYPERSENSITIVITY
Reactions such as angioedema, urticaria, and rash that may reflect drug hypersensitivity have been observed in patients receiving Olumiant, including serious reactions. If a serious hypersensitivity reaction occurs, promptly discontinue Olumiant while evaluating the potential causes of the reaction.
GASTROINTESTINAL PERFORATIONS
Gastrointestinal perforations have been reported in Olumiant clinical studies. Monitor Olumiant-treated patients who may be at increased risk for gastrointestinal perforation (e.g., patients with a history of diverticulitis). Promptly evaluate patients who present with new onset abdominal symptoms for early identification of gastrointestinal perforation.
LABORATORY ABNORMALITIES
Neutropenia – Olumiant treatment was associated with an increased incidence of neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC] <1000 cells/mm3) compared to placebo. Evaluate at baseline and thereafter according to routine patient management.
In patients with RA or alopecia areata (AA), avoid initiation or interrupt Olumiant treatment in patients with an ANC <1000 cells/mm3. In patients with COVID-19, avoid initiation or interrupt Olumiant treatment in patients with an ANC <500 cells/mm3.
Lymphopenia – Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) <500 cells/mm3 were reported in Olumiant clinical trials. Lymphocyte counts less than the lower limit of normal were associated with infection in patients treated with Olumiant, but not placebo. Evaluate at baseline and thereafter according to routine patient management.
In patients with RA or AA, avoid initiation or interrupt Olumiant treatment in patients with an ALC <500 cells/mm3. In patients with COVID-19, avoid initiation or interrupt Olumiant treatment in patients with an ALC <200 cells/mm3.
Anemia – Decreases in hemoglobin levels to <8 g/dL were reported in Olumiant clinical trials. Evaluate at baseline and thereafter according to routine patient management.
In patients with RA or AA, avoid initiation or interrupt Olumiant treatment in patients with hemoglobin <8 g/dL. In patients with COVID-19, there is limited information regarding use of Olumiant in patients with hemoglobin less than 8 g/dL.
Liver Enzyme Elevations – Olumiant treatment was associated with increased incidence of liver enzyme elevation compared to placebo. Increases of alanine transaminase (ALT) ≥5x upper limit of normal (ULN) and increases of aspartate transaminase (AST) ≥10x ULN were observed in patients in Olumiant clinical trials.
Evaluate at baseline and thereafter according to routine patient management. Promptly investigate the cause of liver enzyme elevation to identify potential cases of drug-induced liver injury. If increases in ALT or AST are observed and drug-induced liver injury is suspected, interrupt Olumiant until this diagnosis is excluded.
Lipid Elevations – Treatment with Olumiant was associated with increases in lipid parameters, including total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Assess lipid parameters approximately 12 weeks following Olumiant initiation in patients with RA or AA. Manage patients according to clinical guidelines for the management of hyperlipidemia.
VACCINATIONS
Avoid use of live vaccines with Olumiant. Update immunizations in patients with RA or AA prior to initiating Olumiant therapy in agreement with current immunization guidelines.
ADVERSE REACTIONS
In RA trials, the most common adverse reactions (≥1%) reported with Olumiant were: upper respiratory tract infections, nausea, herpes simplex, and herpes zoster.
In COVID-19 trials, the most common adverse reactions (≥1%) reported with Olumiant were: ALT ≥3x ULN, AST ≥3x ULN, thrombocytosis (platelets >600,000 cells/mm3), creatine phosphokinase >5x ULN, neutropenia (ANC <1000 cells/mm3), DVT, PE, and urinary tract infection.
In AA trials, the most common adverse reactions (≥1%) reported with Olumiant were: upper respiratory tract infections, headache, acne, hyperlipidemia, creatine phosphokinase increase, urinary tract infections, liver enzyme elevations, folliculitis, fatigue, lower respiratory tract infections, nausea, genital Candida infections, anemia, neutropenia, abdominal pain, herpes zoster, and weight increase.
PREGNANCY AND LACTATION
Based on animal studies, Olumiant may cause fetal harm when administered during pregnancy. Advise pregnant women and women of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Consider pregnancy planning and prevention for women of reproductive potential. Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment with Olumiant and for 4 days after the last dose.
HEPATIC AND RENAL IMPAIRMENT
Olumiant is not recommended in patients with RA or AA and severe hepatic impairment or severe renal impairment (estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] <30 mL/min/1.73m2).
Olumiant should only be used in patients with COVID-19 and severe hepatic impairment if the potential benefit outweighs the potential risk. Olumiant is not recommended in patients with COVID-19 who are on dialysis, have end-stage renal disease, or with eGFR <15 mL/min/1.73m2.

(NEXSTAR) – It’s probably fair to say that the average American has eaten an Oreo cookie or two in their lifetime.
It’s also probably fair to say that the average American has no idea where the name “Oreo” actually came from.
The company that owns the Oreo brand — Mondelez International — does not appear keen on confirming the origins of the “Oreo” name, despite numerous opportunities for its media team and public relations department to do so. Fans, therefore, have only been able to speculate on the etymology.
The most popular theories, as reported by such outlets as Tasting Table and Thought Co., include the idea that Oreo takes its name from the French word for gold (“or”), and was chosen because Oreo Biscuits originally came in a gold-colored tin. Others hypothesize that the word “Oreo” is somewhat of a visual representation of the sandwich cookie itself, with both O letters representing the top and bottom biscuits, and the “re” being an abbreviation of “cream” (as in OcREamO). A claim has also been made that “Oreo” is a play on the Greek word for mountain (“oros”), “since the cookie as originally conceived was to have a peaked, mountain-like top,” according to professor and researcher Charles Panati.
Mondelez International, however, has never verified any of these possible explanations. Why?
According to another theory put forth by Stella Parks, a Culinary Institute of America-trained pastry chef and the award-winning author of “BraveTart,” it might be because the origin of the name “Oreo” could be considered controversial.
In a 2019 article for Serious Eats, Parks asserts that the National Biscuit Company (more commonly known as Nabisco) chose the name “Oreo” in reference to a similar cookie that debuted several years before the Oreo: The Hydrox.
Hydrox, a brand name of a sandwich cookie introduced in 1908 by the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company (later Sunshine Baking Company), was nearly identical to the Oreo cookie introduced by Nabisco in 1912, in that both cookies were made by sandwiching a crème filling between two round, chocolate biscuits. But one of the main differences, at least to the naked eye, was that Hydrox cookies were embossed with images of a flower — specifically mountain laurel, as Parks believes.
As Parks wrote in her Serious Eats piece, the National Biscuit Company had previously marketed several biscuits named after different types of flowers. And she believes the Oreo — which, again, came four years after the debut of the Hydrox — takes its name from the flowers embossed on Sunshine’s competing Hydrox biscuits.
“Someone at Nabisco clearly had a thing for botany, and to understand Oreo, you don’t have to look any further than the mountain laurel on every Hydrox — Oreodaphne,” wrote Parks, with oreodaphne being the name of a flowering plant belonging to the laurel family. (Parks herself was not available to comment on her findings; those who contact her via her official website currently get Rickrolled.)
A representative for Leaf Brands, the company that currently owns Hydrox, was unable to confirm Parks’ claim — nor which flower variety was depicted on each biscuit. But Parks isn’t the only one who identified those flowers as laurels.
Alexa Lim, a producer on NPR’s “Science Diction” podcast, referred to the Hydrox design as a “pattern of laurel leaves and flowers” in a 2020 episode focusing on the origin of the Hydrox cookie. The podcast’s host, Johanna Mayer, also noted that the Oreo’s original design included a “laurel wreath” — a design that can be seen in Nabisco’s early ads for the Oreo.
Parks, also a guest on that episode of the “Science Diction” podcast, further explained that Nabisco was eventually able to overtake sales of Hydrox by first dropping the prices of Oreo Biscuits to allow the cookie to catch on. Nabisco then spiked the price, Mayer noted, to make it seem like Oreo cookies were the premium of the two brands.
A representative for Mondelez International, nor any representatives for the Oreo public relations team at the Weber Shandwick media company, have responded to repeated requests for clarity on the Oreo name.
The meaning of the name Hydrox, on the other hand, is more openly acknowledged. It’s a combination of “hydrogen” and “oxygen” — two words chosen to evoke a sense of purity.
Ellia Kassoff, the current owner of the Hydrox brand and a fan of the cookie since childhood, told NPR’s “Science Diction” that he probably would have considered “Munchie” or “Sandwichos” instead, had he been consulted back in 1908.
“Who knows what was in their mind,” Kassoff said of the Loose-Wiles Biscuit Company executives who named Hydrox. “But hey, the name sticks.”

Districts relaxed requirements at the start of the pandemic, but experts say the effects of COVID-19 disruption are showing up in student’s lives.
An estimated 7 percent of people who get COVID-19 may not get better, and past trends suggest Black people could be among those hardest hit.
Black people continue to be among the communities hit hardest by COVID-19. But with more research on Long COVID coming to the surface, experts say the nature of the pandemic is changing.
Dr. Carol Oladele, director of research at Yale’s Equity Research and Innovation Center, says while experts don’t have all the answers about the long-term COVID condition, studies are underway and past trends suggest the Black community could be heavily affected.
“All the studies are all trying to figure out what are the factors that cause people to continue to have symptoms beyond four weeks after infection. People thought that Black Americans would be most affected by Long COVID because they were disproportionately affected by COVID,” she says.
“The State of Black America and COVID-19, ” a report released by the Black Coalition Against COVID in March details how Black families were impacted by primary infections during the pandemic.
For example, 1 in 310 Black children experienced the loss of a parent or caregiver compared to 1 in 738 white children between April 2020 and June 2021, according to the report.
But once the acute phase of the virus — with its accompanying fever, sore throat, body aches and other symptoms — has passed, too many Americans aren’t getting better.
“The evidence so far shows that Black Americans and folks who are Hispanic are more likely to experience symptoms that are characterized as Long COVD,” says Oladele, who contributed to the Black Coalition Against COVID’s two-year assessment.
People with Long COVID are dealing with fatigue, shortness of breath, and headaches — among other symptoms — for weeks or months after contracting the virus. The report from Nature shows Black people are more likely than other demographics to experience acute kidney injury, diabetes, chest pain, and cough.
Oladele says in January, a time when there appeared to be an overall reduction in cases, Black Americans were still seeking care, seeing the highest rates of COVID-associated hospitalizations since the pandemic started.
“It was sort of masking the continued burden that Black Americans were continuing to experience in a negative way,” she says. “The hospitalization rates were high, meaning people were sick enough to need the hospitalization.”

South Bend, In. (WJHL) — One of the best athletes to ever play football in the Tri-Cities has now entered his name into the transfer portal.
Prince Kollie, the former 4-star out of David Crockett High School, never could really get onto the field at Notre Dame. But, it seemed like he was going to play a larger role this year after tallying 19 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 4 games during the 2022 season.
He also returned a blocked punt for a touchdown against the Clemson Tigers. Kollie was very quiet during the spring practice season and did not play in the annual Blue-Gold spring game. Injuries seemed to be a big factor this spring — especially with him reportedly dealing with concussions.

ROME (AP) — Rescue teams were searching Sunday for two skiers who were caught in an avalanche near Mont Blanc on Italy’s northern border with France, local authorities said.
Two surviving off-piste skiers sounded the alarm shortly after the 1 p.m. avalanche on Val Veny, above Courmayeur, but low-lying clouds prevented helicopters from reaching the scene, Courmayeur Mayor Roberto Rota told Sky TG24.
Rescuers were getting to the site by snowmobile, but Rota said the chances of finding the skiers alive was slim given the amount of time that had passed.
Rota suggested the four skiers were amateurs who hadn’t gone up with a guide or proper avalanche safety equipment, though he added that avalanche airbags would have only been useful if rescuers were nearby and had gotten to the scene within the first 15-20 minutes.
“Unfortunately, it’s 99% that those involved won’t make it,” he said.
The avalanche risk Sunday for the area was a level-three “considerable” danger on a scale of five risk levels — low, moderate, considerable, high and very high — used by the European Avalanche Warning Services, Rota said.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) — Officials say two sheriff’s deputies fatally shot a man outside a Target store in central Florida’s busy tourist district.
One person suffered a minor shrapnel injury to the hand and two others were injured when they fell while trying to run away from the area Wednesday night in Kissimmee.
The shooting happened in a tourist district near Walt Disney World.
Osceola County Sheriff Marco Lopez offered few details during a late-night news conference. He says the deputies weren't injured.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement will investigate the shooting.
Authorities haven't released the name of the man who was killed.

The U.S. defense industry is “not adequately prepared” for “a protracted conventional war” with an enemy such as China, according to a think tank study published Monday.
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) ran a war games simulation that found that the U.S. would likely be depleted of some of its munitions, including long-range, precision-guided ones, in less than a week of war with China in the Taiwan Strait.
The U.S.’s use of weapons would exceed the Department of Defense’s stockpile, which would make sustaining a long-term war conflict “difficult,” especially as China is investing in munitions and other weapons systems five to six times faster than the U.S., according to the study.
The Russia-Ukraine war exposed the shortfalls of the U.S.’s defense industry, CSIS said, with the study finding that the nation’s inventories of some weapons, including Javelin anti-armor systems and Stinger anti-aircraft systems, are running low as the U.S. committed to sending more of these systems to Ukraine. The U.S. committed to sending more than 8,500 Javelin systems and more than 1,600 Stinger systems to Ukraine, leaving its own inventory low, according to the report.
The study said that the number of Javelin systems sent to Ukraine is about equal to the total number built for non-U.S. customers over the last 20 years. The study emphasized that the problem was not the U.S. assistance to Ukraine but the current incapacity of the defense industry to supply enough weapons for long-term conflicts.
“The main problem is that the U.S. defense industrial base — including the munitions industrial base — is not currently equipped to support a protracted conventional war,” the study stated.
The study also said that the U.S.’s foreign military sales (FMS) take too long because they need to be initiated by the Department of State and then executed by the Department of Defense and ultimately approved by Congress. Foreign sales have benefits, including supporting the U.S. defense industry, strengthening ally relations and preventing the sale of adversary systems to other countries, the study said.
“The U.S. FMS system is not optimal for today’s competitive environment — an environment where such countries as China are building significant military capabilities and increasingly looking to sell them overseas,” the study stated.
If the U.S. streamlined its FMS process by making it more efficient, the study said, it could “help establish predictable, efficient production rates” in the defense industry, which could help boost U.S. production levels.
“The bottom line is the defense industrial base, in my judgment, is not prepared for the security environment that now exists,” CSIS’s Seth Jones, author of the study, told The Wall Street Journal.
This study follows a separate one published by CSIS earlier this month that found if China invaded Taiwan, there would be “heavy” losses on all sides, including the U.S.
“How do you effectively deter if you don’t have sufficient stockpiles of the kinds of munitions you’re going to need for a China-Taiwan Strait kind of scenario?” Jones asked.

Raleigh neighbors describe Thursday night's mass shooting that killed 5 people
Raleigh neighbors described the moment after Thursday night's mass shooting that killed five people.
INVESTIGATION:
Five people were killed, including an off-duty officer, in the attack at about 5 p.m. It happened in the area of the Hedingham neighborhood and the Neuse River Greenway, near Osprey Cove Drive and Bay Harbor Drive.
Police said they have identified the victims as Nicole Connors, 52; Mary Marshall, 35; Susan Karnatz, 49; James Thompson, 16; and Officer Gabriel Torres, 29.
Police identified the suspect as a white male juvenile during a news conference on Thursday. It took four hours to get the suspect in custody, police said.
On Friday, they announced he was 15 years old and in critical condition.
"The nightmare of every community has come to Raleigh," North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper said. "This is senseless, horrific and infuriating act of violence."
On Friday morning, Raleigh's police Chief Estella D. Patterson said the off-duty officer who was killed, Torres, was on his way to work.
Two others were injured in the shooting, including RPD Senior Officer Casey Clark, 33, who has been released from the hospital. The other injured victim, a 59-year-old, remains in critical condition.
“We mourn and share the loss of not only our officer but all the victims of the senseless gun crime," said Patterson.
NEIGHBORS:
WXII 12 News talked with several neighbors who lived near where the shooting took place.
One man said he and his wife returned home about an hour after the suspect began shooting.
Another neighbor, Michelle Jeffreys, said she was home with her one-year-old son when she heard the gunshots.
"It was so so scary, honestly. Just being home with me and my son. My husband was working," she said.
She said she hid with her son inside their house.
"Just be as quiet as possible," she said. "That truly what was worrying me because my son is one. He’s chatty. He likes to screech and make noises and play. He doesn’t know what’s going on. So I was just afraid if this person is wandering around, they’re going to hear him."
She said the area is a "good sense of community. I really being enjoy a part of it."
Her neighbor up the street, William Rouse, said he learned about the gunshots when his nextdoor neighbor checked on him.
He said the shooting shocked him.
"We haven’t had this issue in this area at all since I’ve been here. It’s been pretty peaceful. Seldom have any issues," Rouse said.

BERLIN (AP) — Germany on Tuesday ordered Chad’s ambassador to leave the country, responding to the central African nation’s expulsion last week of the German ambassador.
Chad’s government on Friday gave German Ambassador Gordon Kricke 48 hours to leave, citing his “discourteous attitude” and accusing him of failing to respect diplomatic customs. A brief statement from the Chadian government gave no further details about the reason for his removal.
Kricke arrived in Germany on Sunday after having been seen off at the airport in N’Djamena, the Chadian capital, by several colleagues from allied countries, German news agency dpa reported.
Germany retaliated on Tuesday against what it called “the unfounded expulsion of our ambassador.” Chad’s ambassador in Berlin, Mariam Ali Moussa, was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and given 48 hours to leave Germany.
“We regret that it had to come to this,” the ministry said in a tweet. “Ambassador Kricke carried out his job in N’Djamena in an exemplary manner and advocated for human rights and the quick transition to a civilian government in Chad.”
It said that Germany’s embassy in Chad would continue this work “together with our partners on the ground.” Germany still has lower-ranking diplomats in N’Djamena.
Media reports have pointed to criticism of Chad’s transitional government as a likely motivation for the German ambassador’s expulsion.
Hours after the death of Chad’s longtime President Idriss Deby Itno in 2021, the military named his son, Mahamat Idriss Deby, as the country’s interim leader for what was intended to be an 18-month period.
However, last year the government announced it was extending the transition for two more years, which led to protests across the country.

10 states that make the most tax revenue from commercial betting

10 states that make the most tax revenue from commercial betting
Close up shot of someone’s hands making bets using an app on phone.
Without federal laws for sports wagering, states are left to experiment and set their own tax-revenue structures. Some states tax sportsbooks as high as 50% and others as low as 6%, according to the American Action Forum.
States with authorized sports wagering tend to hover in the 10-15% range, with nuances added from there. Some states deduct promotional bets, while others require disclosure, per Bloomberg Tax.
OLBG compiled a list of the 10 states that collected the most tax revenue from commercial gambling during 2021 and how that revenue compares to 2020. Data comes from the American Gaming Association and various news media outlets, with the tax total reflecting specific state and local taxes applied directly to gaming revenue. Data does not include billions of dollars paid annually by the industry via income, sales, other corporate taxes, or payroll taxes paid by gaming operators and suppliers.
In seven of the 10 states featured on the forthcoming list, sports gambling is legal in some capacity. Every jurisdiction in the U.S. with commercial casino or sports betting operations reported an increase in gaming revenue between 2020 and 2021; 23 of 43 jurisdictions saw record annual commercial gaming revenue in 2021, according to the AGA.
The biggest gains in gaming revenue alone were documented in Tennessee and Michigan, each of which reported the first full year of sports betting revenue. Eight of the 10 states that gained the most tax revenue from commercial gambling overall in 2021 are located in the East or Midwest.
The Supreme Court in 2018 found the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act unconstitutional, effectively eliminating the federal law that had halted authorized sports wagering across the country and leaving it up to individual states to determine rules for sports betting.
Fast-forward to 2021, when commercial gaming revenue in the United States topped $53 billion. Gambling generated nearly $11.7 billion in tax revenue for the 33 states (and Washington D.C.) with some form of legalized sports betting, according to data from the American Gaming Association.
Twenty-four states and Washington, D.C., allow mobile sports betting activity, as of March 2023. Florida took legal online sports bets from November to December 2021, until a federal judge struck down the agreement. The state has halted legal sports gaming for now. Maine, Massachusetts, and Nebraska are some of the states that recently legalized sports betting in some way. Those states are expected to roll out plans, projects, or further regulatory actions in 2023.

– 2021 tax revenue: $458.8 million
– 2020 tax revenue: $309.3 million
– Year-over-year change: 48.3%
Despite introducing a few sports betting bills, Missouri has stalled legalizing sports betting at the state legislature level. Video lottery terminals and tax rates are some of the reasons various bills have failed. Supporters hope a bill can pass this year.
Sports gambling is legal in all the states surrounding Missouri. Neighboring Kansas rolled out legal betting in 2022. Missouri residents and Chiefs fans in Kansas City, Missouri, can simply cross a river to bet in Kansas. However, Kansas has not generated as much tax revenue from sports gambling as expected, per the Kansas City Star.

The home of the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia sports markets holds the #1 spot for tax revenue from sports betting.

Pennsylvania also has one of the highest tax rates, at 36%.
Online sports gaming came to the state in 2019, a year after retail sportsbooks opened. Many of the top online sportsbooks have a presence in the state. There are few restrictions on sports gambling, but it is not legal to place specific prop bets on individual players’ statistics. Users must be 21.

A slow start to the NASCAR Cup Series season — two crashes and an engine failure through six races — has Bubba Wallace looking internally for the steadiness he needs to pull himself out of this early slump.
It was his mother who encouraged Wallace to do some self-reflection.
“It’s day by day, right? Just got to be a better version of myself,” Wallace told The Associated Press this week. “My mom had said to me, ‘You know, if you want things to change, you got to change yourself.’ So I’m just trying to change myself and be more active, working out, eating better, and just trying to have a better mindset so Richmond should be good for us.”
Yes, Wallace and NASCAR head next to Richmond Raceway for a Sunday short track race at a venue that has not been one of Wallace’s stronger tracks. His career-best finish at Richmond was 12th in 2019 when he drove for Richard Petty. He was 13th last fall in his new 23XI Racing ride.
But this weekend represents more to Wallace than a chance to show how far 23XI has come since its 2021 launch. The two-car team celebrated its first win of the season last week with Tyler Reddick at Circuit of the Americas and qualified three cars for the season-opening Daytona 500.
Wallace will use Richmond, a rare NASCAR stop at a facility located in a fairly urban area, for his second annual “Bubba’s Block Party.” The free Friday night event is a community-focused NASCAR initiative aimed at bringing awareness, access and engagement to the sport within the Black community.
The food truck village will feature Black-owned businesses, and there will be live entertainment including iRacing, video games and a live pit stop demonstration by Wallace’s Toyota crew. Wallace will host a “fireside chat” to discuss both his career and his attention on promoting diversity and inclusion across the sport.
Wallace, who is from Alabama, in 2020 successfully called on NASCAR to ban the Confederate flag at its events. He is the only full-time Black driver at NASCAR’s top level.
“Richmond is in the heart of a minority market, a diverse market, and I feel like a lot of those people don’t show up at the racetrack,” Wallace said. “I wanted to provide an environment that’s a Friday night cookout-type style vibes at a racetrack, and get them out and encourage them to come out and cheer on their favorite driver — don’t even have to be me.
“I think just getting them to feel welcome to walk in their own shoe, be comfortable in their own skin and have a great time just like they could go to NBA games, an NFL game, I think that’s important. We have to make our markets feel just as welcoming as others.”
Bubba’s Block Party was born after the national social justice reckoning in 2020 that thrust Wallace into the spotlight on issues he was still only just beginning to understand. He’s not been shy to use his platform, but it’s come with detractors and scrutiny, including a noose found in his Talladega Superspeedway garage stall after his call for the banning of the Confederate flag.
The FBI ruled the garage pull was indeed fashioned as a noose but that it was a coincidence it was in Wallace’s stall and he was not the victim of a hate crime. Detractors, including then-President Donald Trump, falsely accused Wallace of orchestrating the event.
But it was that year that sparked an urge in Wallace to demand change in a predominately white, Southern sport.
“Our sport change has changed for the better. We removed the Confederate flag, and I felt like a lot of people from a diverse background, minority background, started tuning in,” Wallace said. “They tune in enough to where they actually come out. And I’ve had numerous people in the last two years now say, ‘Hey, man, I’m here because of what you’ve done.’ And that’s powerful.
“I think being able to show face and give back to the community that have stood up and supported me is super important.”
After the party, it’s back to focusing on racing, where Wallace is coming off back-to-back disappointments.
He spun without contact from anyone else two weeks ago at Atlanta on the 10th lap, hit the wall and finished 27th. At COTA, he showed early speed but was involved in an early crash and a 37th-place finish. Wallace seemed defeated in his post-incident interview.
“Trying my hardest not to go down that slippery slope of self-doubt here. Two weeks in a row making rookie mistakes. Six years in Cup, need to be replaced,” he said.
His mom gave him encouragement to stop wallowing in self-doubt, and the block party sends him to Richmond with a mission bigger than anything he does on track. Asked by the AP how his confidence was headed to Richmond, Wallace was expressionless: “Find out,” was all he said.

In early April, the Japanese government announced plans to drop the Covid-19 border control measures starting on Monday May 8. However, the government brought forward these plans to Saturday April 29, just in time for the start of the Golden Week holidays.
As reported by Kyodo News, the decision was brought forward in anticipation of more tourists during Golden Week, which also began on April 29. Under this change, travellers entering Japan are no longer required to present proof of three Covid-19 vaccinations or a negative test taken 72 hours before departure.
Starting Monday May 8, Covid-19's legal status will be downgraded to the same as common diseases like the seasonal flu. Additionally, Kyodo News also reports that Japan will start a new surveillance programme at Haneda, Narita and three other major airports in the country, where entrants with symptoms will be asked to undergo a voluntary test to detect new diseases.

Expands BPO Service Offerings in Energy, Telecom, Nonprofit and Financial Services
WILLOW GROVE, Pa., May 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AnswerNet, a full-service provider of inbound, outbound, automated, and global BPO contact center services, announces the completion of 11 call center-related company acquisitions between March 2021 – February 2022.
At the onset of the pandemic in 2020 while many businesses faced stoppages or closures, AnswerNet was called upon to offer various Covid19-related services, including support and assistance with contact tracing, Emergency Rental Assistance Programs (ERAP), state unemployment claims, and others. As the vaccine was introduced, scheduling and other vaccine-related work expanded AnswerNet's Covid/BPO service portfolio further.
As this Covid-related work began to dissipate in 2021, several well-respected companies with strong operations and steady cash flows approached AnswerNet looking to sell their businesses. In the words of Founder & CEO, Gary Pudles, "The time came to make a choice; do we downsize or do we reinvest in the company? We chose the latter, and here we are."
The 11 Acquisitions:
- A spinoff of a large Canadian contact center operator in Halifax, NS
- FineLine: Winnipeg, MB (nonprofit donor services including "keying and caging" operations)
- Mathews Answering Service: Great Falls, MT
- TPV.com (aka Data Exchange): Tulsa OK –first of four third-party verification (TPV) companies
- TrainNow.net, Seattle-based learning management system (LMS)
- Ansercomm Telephone Answering Service: Hackensack, NJ, Maple Shade NJ, and N. Fort Lauderdale, FL
- Action 1 Answering Service: Mountain Top, PA
- VoiceLog: San Antonio, TX (TPV)
- Quality Contact Solutions: Aurora, NE (large dedicated BPO & telemarketing provider)
- TrustedTPV: Severn, MD
- Calibrus: Tempe, AZ (TPV & BPO)
Becoming a Leader in Third-Party Verification and Nonprofit Donor Services
With the purchase of these four leading TPV providers (Calibrus, TPV.com, TrustedTPV, VoiceLog), AnswerNet acquired businesses that have completed 115 million+ verifications and is now the largest provider of third-party verification services in North America.
With the FineLine acquisition, AnswerNet now supports 50+ internationally known nonprofits, including American & Canadian Red Cross, Salvation Army, Humane Society, Habitat for Humanity, and Doctors without Borders.
Pudles adds, "These acquisitions help us further our story that we started in 1998 as a single-location telephone answering service with roots back to 1929, and have emerged as a global BPO provider who continues to lead by delivering all forms of world-class telecommunications and technology services."

Weather forecasters are warning of the potential for strong thunderstorms and tornadoes across a wide swath of the South Wednesday morning, including in parts of Mississippi, Georgia and the Florida Panhandle.
The weather service said there was a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms and "a tornado or two" as storms move east into Georgia and parts of Florida. Large cities including New Orleans, Atlanta, Montgomery and Mobile are in the area at risk on Wednesday.
The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center called it "a particularly dangerous situation." Larger cities at risk include Jackson, Greenville, Tupelo, Vicksburg and Clinton in Mississippi.
A tornado watch was issued for parts of Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
"This needs to be taken seriously and have plans to move to your safe place if necessary," the Jackson, Miss., office of the National Weather Service said. "Continue to monitor info as it becomes available."
A tornado was confirmed near Vaiden, Miss., in the center of the state on Tuesday afternoon. Forecasters warned of a regional tornado outbreak being possible from northern Louisiana into north-central Mississippi and western Alabama.
Hail stones hit the windows of City Hall in the small town of Tchula, Miss., on Tuesday, The Associated Press reported, with residents taking cover.
"It was hitting against the window, and you could tell that it was nice-sized balls of it," Mayor Ann Polk told the AP after the storm passed through.
Storms in central Mississippi were intensifying, the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center said on Tuesday afternoon, and would move northeast to impact north-central Alabama.
"Scattered damaging winds should be the primary severe threat this morning," the National Weather Service said.
Wind gusts are expected to reach 70 mph, and could be accompanied by very large hail.
The U.S. has the most tornadoes in the world, with about 1,200 a year.

Firm publishes Impact Playbook to guide companies in measuring and managing the impact of their products or services
CHICAGO, May 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- S2G Ventures ("S2G"), a leading multi-stage investment firm focused on the food, agriculture, ocean, and clean energy markets, has announced its approach to Impact Measurement & Management (IMM). S2G's IMM approach centers around generating information about the impact of a company's products and services, as well as its business operations to inform management decisions.
S2G has been steadily developing its IMM approach over the past two years and views it as core to providing value for its portfolio companies. The purpose of this approach is to leverage information about the impact of the firm's work to improve decision-making and engage with others around creating long-lasting, positive, and meaningful change for people and the planet.
S2G is advancing three core IMM practices that are applicable regardless of sector or stage of company:
- Design & plan for impact: identifying impact aims, key learning questions and IMM plans
- Measure & evaluate impact: collect, document and interpret information to measure and understand impact
- Learn from impact: use data and insights to inform decision-making and influence others
As S2G works with new and existing portfolio companies, it will increase its use of IMM in order to be more intentional about supporting its portfolio in measuring and reporting their impact. Underlying this commitment is the premise that measuring and managing a company's impact on people and planet will enhance its success in the market and deepen its long-term social and environmental outcomes.
"We believe our strategy, our portfolio, and our stakeholders need to be in the vanguard of shifting Impact Measurement and Management from a lagging indicator of performance or compliance to a critical driver of competitive advantage and increased market share," said Sanjeev Krishnan, senior managing director and chief investment officer at S2G Ventures. "This shift will take new thinking and potentially new innovation."
The approach directly reflects S2G's strategy to be more holistic in its ability to underwrite and deliver value as markets continue to evolve and as volatility becomes the new normal. As a result, S2G will be regularly measuring and assessing the positive and negative impacts of its portfolio to better understand how it can unlock greater returns and drive systemic change. S2G has aligned its approach to IMM with leading principles and standards in the investment industry, including the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Operating Principles for Impact Management, SASB Standards, Principles for Responsible Investing and more.
In alignment with this approach, S2G has developed and introduced to its portfolio community an Impact Playbook to help companies think through and plan for how to measure and manage the impact of their products/services and the factors that are most relevant to their operations. S2G is now making this Playbook publicly available to benefit companies and investors outside of the S2G community.
"S2G strongly believes that measuring and managing a company's impact on people and planet will enhance its success in the market and deepen its long-term social and environmental outcomes," said Joanna Cohen, head of Impact Measurement & Management at Builders Vision. "Impact measurement creates the most business value when it is directly embedded in the decision-making cycles of an organization. For S2G, this means integrating these practices into the investment process using a cross-team approach along the way."
Through ongoing industry engagement, S2G aims to contribute to emerging and evolving standards in the IMM space. Most recently, S2G was announced as a founding member of the Venture Climate Alliance (VCA), a group of leading investment firms committed to achieving a rapid, global transition to net zero or negative greenhouse emissions by 2050 or earlier. S2G's IMM team is actively contributing to VCA's Methodology Working Group to develop a rigorous, consensus-based framework and toolkit for use by member firms and others.
S2G team members are also active in other industry-leading membership organizations that are working to bring more authenticity and integrity to IMM, including the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), Impact Capital Managers, Impact Frontiers, 1000 Ocean Startups and the Food, Nutrition and Health Investor Coalition.
As a value-add investor, S2G is committed to continually strengthening and refining its internal IMM capabilities in service of supporting its portfolio and pursuing its vision for a humane and healthy planet. The firm will evolve its IMM approach as it collects feedback from S2G staff, portfolio companies and peers, and will continue to share the learnings out publicly.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel on Sunday sealed the home of an east Jerusalem man who killed seven people outside a synagogue, in a preliminary step ahead of the expected demolition of the building, as two Palestinian men died from Israeli fire.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Cabinet approved an order to seal the home of a second Palestinian shooter — a 13-year-old boy who wounded two Israeli men in east Jerusalem on Saturday. His Cabinet also took steps toward approving other punitive measures against the families of Palestinian attackers, including potentially stripping them of citizenship rights and deporting them.
The moves by Israel, along with escalating violence, further raised tensions as U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken landed in the region. Blinken’s high-wire diplomatic act, focused largely on restoring calm, begins Monday after he completes a brief visit to Egypt.
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli police sealed up the east Jerusalem home of a 21-year-old Palestinian attacker who killed seven people and wounded three outside a synagogue on Friday night during the Jewish sabbath. The attacker was shot and killed by police.
“We sealed the home of the terrorist who carried out the horrendous attack in Jerusalem, and his home will be demolished,” Netanyahu told his Cabinet.
“We are not seeking an escalation, but we are prepared for any scenario. Our answer to terrorism is a heavy hand and a strong, swift and precise response,” he said.
The planned home demolition is among a series of punitive steps, including plans to “strengthen” its West Bank settlements, announced by Israel in the wake of the twin shootings.
Palestinians, meanwhile, reported dozens of attacks by Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank. The most serious took place in the Palestinian town of Turmus Ayya, where the official Wafa news agency quoted residents as saying that settlers torched a car and set a home on fire.
Lt. Col. Richard Hecht, a military spokesman, called the incident “disgraceful” and said the military was taking it “very seriously” as it investigated.
Later Sunday, Netanyahu’s office said the Cabinet would seal the family home of the 13-year-old shooter as well. Israel typically demolishes attackers’ homes only in deadly attacks. The boy’s victims were both badly wounded but survived Saturday’s shooting.
His office also said the Cabinet was pushing ahead with plans that could strip residency and citizenship rights of the families of Palestinian attackers, and potentially deport them to the occupied West Bank. Such moves have been condemned by human rights groups as collective punishment.
Israeli police released footage of Israeli army engineers welding metal plates over the windows of the home of the first shooter and welding the front door shut.
Police said the attacker, identified as 21-year-old Khairy Alqam, was killed in a shootout with officers Friday night after fleeing the scene in the predominantly ultra-Orthodox east Jerusalem settlement of Neve Yaakov.
Relatives said Alqam’s grandfather was killed in a 1998 stabbing in Jerusalem. The killing remains unsolved, but a Jewish extremist was arrested in 2010 in connection with a string of attacks on Palestinians. He was released and charges were not pressed.
Musa Alqam, the gunman’s father, said he had no idea if his son had been motivated by revenge. “I don’t know how he planned what he did,” he said.
The suspect in the 2010 arrest was assisted by Itamar Ben-Gvir, who is now Israel’s national security minister. At the time, Ben-Gvir was a far-right activist who accompanied the suspect to court.
More funerals for the victims in Friday’s shooting, the deadliest attack on Israelis since 2008, were scheduled to take place Sunday.
Israeli media identified one of the dead as a Ukrainian healthcare worker, Irina Korlova. The Ukrainian Embassy confirmed that one of the victims of the shooting was a Ukrainian citizen.
The weekend shootings followed a deadly Israeli raid in the West Bank on Thursday that killed 10 Palestinians, most of them militants. In response, Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip fired a barrage of rockets into Israel, triggering a series of Israeli airstrikes in response.
The deaths of two more Palestinians on Sunday raised the Palestinian death toll from fighting this month to 34.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said an 18-year-old Palestinian man who was shot by a security guard next to the West Bank settlement of Kedumim died Sunday. The Israeli military said that a settlement security guard had identified a man armed with a pistol outside the settlement and shot him.
The ministry also confirmed the death of a 24-year-old Palestinian man who was wounded in last week’s military raid in the West Bank town of Jenin. There was no immediate claim of his affiliation with a militant group.
Netanyahu on Sunday repeated his vow to “strengthen the settlements” in the occupied West Bank. He said that doing so was aimed at “sending a message to the terrorists that seek to uproot us from our land that we are here to stay.”
Israel captured the West Bank, along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 Mideast war. It has built dozens of settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, now home to more than 700,000 Jewish settlers, in the decades since.
Most of the international community, including the United States, considers the settlements an obstacle to peace with the Palestinians, who seek the West Bank as the heartland of a future independent state. A settlement announcement could lead to a tense visit with Blinken.
In Cairo, Blinken opened his Mideast tour, speaking with students at the American University in the city before holding talks with Egyptian officials on Monday. He was then scheduled to travel to Israel for the most critical leg of the visit for talks with Israeli and Palestinian officials.

Belarus leader claims Wagner chief is in Russia, adding uncertainty about his fate after revolt
MINSK, Belarus (AP) — The mercenary leader who led a short-lived mutiny against the Kremlin is in Russia and his Wagner troops are in their field camps, the president of Belarus said Thursday, raising new questions about the deal that ended the extraordinary challenge to President Vladimir Putin’s rule.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s claim could not be independently verified, and the Kremlin refused to comment on Yevgeny Prigozhin’s whereabouts. It was not clear if traveling to Russia would violate the deal, which allowed the Wagner chief to move to Belarus in exchange for ending the rebellion and a promise of amnesty for him and his troops.
Few details of the agreement brokered by Lukashenko have emerged. Last week, Lukashenko said the mercenary leader was in Belarus. Russian media later reported he was seen at his offices in St. Petersburg, a sign that the deal may have allowed him to finalize his affairs in Russia.
On Thursday, Lukashenko told international reporters that the mercenary leader was in St. Petersburg and Wagner’s troops were in their camps. He did not specify the location of the camps, but Prigozhin’s mercenaries fought alongside Russian forces in eastern Ukraine before their revolt and also have bases on the Russian territory.
Asked about where Prigozhin is, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to comment, but reaffirmed that the deal that ended the mutiny envisaged his move to Belarus.
Lukashenko said his government offered Wagner, a private military contractor that has sent troops around the world to fight for Russia’s interests, the use of Belarusian military camps but the company had not made a final decision.
He also said that Prigozhin has been given back the cash and weapons that were confiscated by Russian authorities.
Russian online newspaper Fontanka posted videos and photos of Prigozhin’s opulent mansion in Russia’s second-largest city and some personal items. It also published a collection of selfies that showed him posing in various wigs and foreign uniforms, an apparent reflection of Wagner’s deployments to Syria and several African countries.
Asked if Prigozhin and his mercenaries would eventually move to Belarus, Lukashenko answered evasively that it would depend on the decisions of the Wagner chief and the Russian government. The Belarusian leader said he doesn’t think the mercenaries’ presence in Belarus would lead to the destabilization of his country and said any Wagner troops there would be required to sign a contract with Belarusian authorities that would outline conditions and limitations of their actions.
He dismissed the suggestions that the mercenaries could attack Ukraine from Belarusian territory, which Russian troops used as a staging ground ahead of their invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Moscow has also maintained a military presence in Belarus.
During their short revolt, Prigozhin’s mercenaries quickly swept through the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don and captured the military headquarters there before marching to within about 200 kilometers (125 miles) of the Russian capital. Prigozhin described it as a “march of justice” to oust the Russian defense minister and the General Staff chief.
The Wagner fighters faced little resistance, smashing occasional roadblocks and downing at least six helicopters and a command post aircraft, killing at least 10 airmen.
When the deal was struck, the Wagner chief ordered his troops to return to their camps.
The abortive rebellion represented the biggest threat to Putin in his more than two decades in power, exposing his weakness and eroding the Kremlin’s authority.
Lukashenko said he warned Prigozhin that he and his troops would be destroyed if they failed to make a deal to end their mutiny and that Belarus would send a brigade to help protect Moscow.
“It was necessary to nip it in the bud. It was very dangerous, as history shows,” Lukashenko said.
Asked about the deployment of Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons to Belarus, Lukashenko said they are intended to deter any aggression against the country. Putin and Lukashenko both have said that some of them already have been moved to Belarus.
“These weapons serve strictly defensive purposes,” he said, adding that if Belarus faces an aggression, “the answer will come instantly.”

Which dog bicycle leash is best?
If you have a high-energy dog, you’re constantly thinking of ways to keep it entertained. These types of dogs need consistent structure, exercise and training. A good way to exercise your dog is to lead it with a bicycle leash. You can travel farther to properly exercise your dog so it will be better behaved later.
If you are looking for a simple, easy-to-use dog bicycle leash, the Walky Dog Hands-Free Bicycle Leash is the top choice.
What to know before you buy a dog bicycle leash
What is a dog bicycle leash?
This style of leash attaches directly to your bicycle. It looks like a small metal rod with a flexible attachment and clip on one end. Once attached, it protrudes from the bike to keep your dog at a safe distance. The flexible end clips to your dog to let it run alongside your bike.
What materials are used in a dog bicycle leash?
The best ones are made with metal. This provides the strength and durability you need for a leash of this style. It attaches with a metal clamp to your bike that secures it into place. On the other end, the one that clips on to your dog, there is a more flexible material. It may be metal that can move or a nylon/elastic combo strong enough to hold but able to absorb shock.
How long should a dog bicycle leash be?
The dog bicycle leash you choose should be long enough to keep your dog at a safe distance from your bicycle when in motion. Some leashes come with extendable parts that let you keep your dog closer or farther away. Other leashes may need adjustments made or leash extensions added on.
What’s your dog’s exercise level? What’s yours?
Before taking your dog out with a bicycle leash, make sure they can handle the trip. High-energy dogs can greatly benefit from this style of exercise because they have enough pep to keep up, but not every dog falls into this category. It also may be easier for you to keep up with your dog’s needs by using a bicycle to exercise them.
What to look for in a quality dog bicycle leash
Safety
Quality bicycle leashes should keep your dog attached to your bike without putting either of you in danger. This means it does not wrap up in the tires and is not so rigid that there is no give when going over a bump or during your dog’s regular running motion.
Don’t attach your dog to a bike leash with a neck collar, especially when you’re both learning how to ride together.
Durability
A dog bicycle leash should be strong and durable enough to hold your dog during any kind of weather. It should not be easily damaged by temperature, moisture or dirt from riding with your dog outside. It should also let your dog pull without breaking or the dog coming loose. Many can withstand at least over 100 pounds of pull.
Flexibility
It is important for your leash to be flexible. Your dog needs space to be able to move with you at a safe distance from your wheels. You don’t want the leash to extend too far, but there should be some room for shock absorption.
Easy installation and removal
Your leash may come with its own instructions for installation, but many use a metal clamp to attach to your bicycle. This can also be detached by reversing the process. Remove the bicycle leash when not in use so that it’s not damaged by anything else running into it.
How much you can expect to spend on dog bicycle leash
They have a wide range of prices and can cost anywhere from $30-$150.
Dog bicycle leash FAQ
How do I train my dog to walk next to my bike?
A. Take the training slowly. Let your dog get used to the pull of the bike with you walking alongside before you ride it attached to each other.
Where do you put a leash on a bike?
A. Attach the leash underneath your seat. This is the safest, most central place, and most bicycle leashes are designed to attach here.
