Nothing could get John Lewis to compromise his principles or to stop walking . Nothing . Principles and morals are empowered by fidelity in the face of a host of oppositional tactics — brutal violence , hatred and deliberate , spiteful provocations — designed to embitter and distract from a goal . Lewis , the civil rights hero who died Friday of pancreatic cancer , had an unwavering faith in the power of nonviolent resistance in the face of injustice . He had arguably an even stronger faith in the redemptive power of forgiveness and its ultimate power to change the human heart . Both were informed by his deeply held religious convictions . From the time he used to preach to chickens as a child pretending to be a minister in rural Alabama until his death , Lewis never loosened his grip on that faith . It was , to him , much stronger than politics , at which he was adept , or any other force . And that faith bore fruit . Two experiences in his life illustrate the power those convictions have to change the world . In 2009 , Elwin Wilson traveled to Washington to meet with Lewis , who by then was a respected long-time member of Congress . Wilson was a white man who , in 1961 , had been part of a mob of young toughs that beat Lewis and other civil rights protesters who had dared to enter a bus station waiting room designated for whites only . A blog post published by Seton Hall University described the encounter this way : Wilson asked , “ Mr . Lewis , will you forgive me ? Do you accept my apology ? ” He said , “ Yes I forgive you , I accept your apology. ” The man and his son started crying , as did Lewis , who hugged them both . They called Lewis “ brother , ” and he called them the same . The other was in 2012 , when Lewis attended church in Montgomery , Alabama , and a young police officer was at the podium . The officer turned to him and apologized for how Montgomery police had treated him more than 50 years earlier , severely beating him and other freedom riders . Even though the officer hadn ’ t been born when that incident took place , he noted that new police officers today are required to study what happened that day , as well as what happened in Birmingham and Selma . They must study the lives of civil rights leaders such as the Rev . Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. , and Rosa Parks , as well as the philosophy of nonviolence . The officer then gave his police badge to Lewis , who began to weep . To be clear , these experiences late in Lewis ’ life were made possible only by enormous patience , long-suffering and perseverance of the kind that would make many people run in the opposite direction . “ Bloody Sunday , ” when he and other marchers attempted to cross the Edmund Pettus Bridge in support of voting rights , was just one example . A trooper beat Lewis so severely he cracked his skull and nearly killed him . By his own recollection , he was arrested about 40 times in the 1960s , and beaten several times . And yet he kept marching , kept rallying others to his cause and kept true to the principles guiding his life . Great movements throughout history have been guided by faith in a higher power , something worth remembering during a time of year when holidays also point us toward the American revolution and pioneers . As The Associated Press noted , Lewis ’ life was an example of “ activism fueled by religion. ” “ I thought I was going to die a few times , ” he said in 2004 , adding , “ I thought I saw death. ” More importantly , he saw life — a different one than what surrounded him much of the time . It was that faith , patience , vision and dogged determination that made Lewis a man whose legacy will endure and continue the cause to which he was devoted .

In Thailand , Pope condemns exploitation of women , children for sex By Philip Pullella and Kay Johnson BANGKOK ( Reuters ) - Pope Francis condemned on Thursday the exploitation of women and children for prostitution in Thailand , which is notorious for its sex tourism , saying the violence , abuse and enslavement they suffer are evils that must be uprooted . Francis , on the first full day of his visit to mainly Buddhist Thailand , led a Mass in Bangkok 's National Stadium for tens of thousands of exuberant Roman Catholics in a country where they make up less than one percent of the population . `` For us , it is as if God himself is here , '' said Nutaporn Kwanmuang , 27 , who attended the Mass , the largest gathering of Catholics since Pope John Paul II visited in 1984 . Tens of thousands of others watched on screens in an adjacent stadium . In his homily , Francis mentioned the exploitation of women and children and the plight of refugees and migrants for the second time in one day . `` Here I think of children and women who are victims of prostitution and human trafficking , humiliated in their essential human dignity , '' said the 82-year-old pope , who looked tired at the end of a long day . Thailand , which attracts some 35 million tourists a year , has sought to shed its reputation for sex tourism . But repeated crackdowns have not rid Bangkok and other tourist hubs of go-go bars and massage parlors that often offer sex . There are around 123,530 sex workers in Thailand , according to a 2014 UNAIDS report . Earlier , in his first address on Thursday , Francis expressed appreciation for the Thai government ’ s efforts `` to extirpate this scourge , and for all those private individuals and organizations working to uproot this evil and to provide ways to restore their ( victims ' ) dignity '' . At both venues , he defended migrants and refugees and condemned human trafficking . The number of human trafficking victims rescued in Thailand is set to hit a record high this year . Demand for cheap labor in neighboring Malaysia has caused a jump in the illegal trade , according to government data . INTER-FAITH DIALOGUE Thailand is home to some of Asia ’ s oldest refugee camps . About 100,000 refugees from Myanmar have been living in nine camps along the border for decades , many since the early 1980s . More recently , Thailand has been a major venue for human smugglers and traffickers of tens of thousands of Muslim Rohingya who have fled crackdowns in Myanmar . In a gesture of inter-religious dialogue , Francis on Thursday morning visited the gilded Wat Ratchabophit Sathit Maha Simaram Temple to pay his respects to Thailand 's Supreme Buddhist Patriarch , the 91-year-old Somdet Phra Maha Muniwong . Thailand 's Catholics number around 380,000 in a country of more than 65 million , but the small community has thrived and relations with the Buddhists are generally good . Francis , who is accused by ultra-conservative Catholics of being too accommodating to other religions , praised the effects he said Buddhism has had on Thais . `` The majority of Thais have drunk deeply from the sources of Buddhism , which have imbued their way of venerating life and their ancestors , and leading a sober lifestyle based on contemplation , detachment , hard work and discipline , '' Francis told the patriarch . Francis leaves for Japan on Saturday . ( This story fixes verb tense in paragraph 9 ) ( Writing by Philip Pullella and Kay Johnson ; editing by Simon Cameron-Moore and Gareth Jones )

After police told a go-kart track in Gambrills it had to close on Monday because of coronavirus regulations and the business complied , an Anne Arundel County delegate told the owner to flout law enforcement and the governor ’ s executive order . Anne Arundel County police officers were patrolling along Crain Highway on Memorial Day when they noticed Crofton Go-Kart Raceway was open , despite such businesses having not yet been tapped for reopening by Gov . Larry Hogan or County Executive Steuart Pittman , said Sgt . Jacklyn Davis , police spokeswoman . An officer and a supervising sergeant talked to the business and told them to close . The business complied right away , Davis said . “ There ’ s nothing in the notes that indicates any resistance at all. ” Del . Sid Saab , R-Crownsville , aired his frustrations of hearing about the raceway being asked to comply with regulations instituted by Hogan to curb COVID-19 in a Facebook post Monday night . As of Thursday morning , the virus had infected almost 50,000 Marylanders and taken the lives of at least 2,300 more . After tailing off for much of May , hospitalizations began climbing again Tuesday . “ I told the business owner that he should ignore them and stay open , ” Saab wrote . “ This is his private property , he pays taxes and he ’ s a job creator. ” “ I don ’ t believe that the interpretation of the executive order is remotely fair to all businesses , '' Saab said in a phone interview . “ Because how can you rent a golf cart but you can ’ t rent a go-kart ? It ’ s the same exact thing. ” Golf courses were allowed to open under the first wave of reopening ordered by Hogan . The largest outdoor track in Maryland is temporarily closed , according to its website . A phone call to the business went directly to a voicemail message which explained the track was temporarily closed because of Hogan ’ s order : “ We look forward to reopening soon . '' A message requesting comment was not immediately returned . Saab wrote the business was following guidance of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention , including maintaining social distancing and “ thoroughly cleaning every ( cart ) after each use. ” He called the orders of the Republican governor and Democratic county executive “ irrational ” and accused them of “ continuing to pick winners and losers. ” The delegate said the business closed out of fear of being criminally cited . Indeed , violating the governor ’ s orders is punishable with a fine of up to $ 1,000 or a jail sentence not to exceed one year , or both . But county police have been approaching enforcement with an education-first approach , and have despite hundreds of calls for potential violations not yet charged a single person exclusively for violating the executive orders . Breaking News Alerts “ I am asking again that Gov . Larry Hogan and County Executive Steuart Pittman lift all restrictions immediately on all businesses that can follow the same guideline like Target , Home Depot and Walmart etc. , ” Saab wrote . Saab ’ s comments preceded by about 48 hours Hogan ’ s announcing that he would further ease coronavirus-related restrictions , while still allowing county leaders the authority to proceed more slowly if they saw fit . Pittman said he would consult with public health officials before deciding if Anne Arundel would follow the same timeline outlined by Hogan Wednesday . The county executive is expected to announce Thursday further reopening measures in the county . “ Things are looking better in the county , '' he said on a video call with reporters , touting increased testing capacity . “ This added testing capacity has allowed us to isolate the virus. ” Beginning at 5 p.m. Friday , Hogan ’ s latest order allows for restaurants and social organizations to begin to offer outdoor dining , green lights outdoor pools , youth day camps and low contact outdoor youth sports practices . His order required all businesses that would open further to follow a range of social distancing and safety measures . The latest loosening of restrictions did not seem to apply to race tracks . When Hogan announced the first wave of reopening , dubbed Phase 1 , earlier this month , Pittman said the county would open more slowly , along with neighboring populous counties that have been hard hit by the coronavirus . Some who disagreed with Pittman ’ s stance posted veiled threats in a closed Facebook group , comments that have since been denounced by organizers and politicians who disagree with him . “ Some people believe that we ’ re moving too slowly . Some people believe that we ’ re moving too quickly , ” Hogan said at a press conference Wednesday . “ We have a plan , which was put together with a coronavirus recovery team made up of some of the smartest doctors and scientists we have in the state and America , and they believe that we are going about it the right way . ”

Good Morning Britain viewers are pleading for the return of presenter Piers Morgan after Jeremy Kyle filled in for him on Monday morning 's show . Fans of the ITV breakfast programme were met with a surprise when the talk show host , who usually takes over the channel later in the day , appeared in the studio next to Kate Garraway . As he spoke to guests with the fierce tones he reserves for cheating spouses and careless parents on The Jeremy Kyle Show , viewers took to Twitter to say they preferred to hear Morgan 's controversial comments . Chris Chater posted : `` Jeremy Kyle almost makes Piers seem likeable # GMB , '' while Ann Burnip wrote : `` Just when I thought it was safe to return to @ GMB as Piers is away , Jeremy Kyle turns up . '' Other viewers said Kyle was a welcome change for the show 's usual line-up , with some calling for him to permanently join the team . Kyle last featured on Good Morning Britain just over a year ago .

Fraudster Sentenced to Five Years in Prison for $ 2 Million Ponzi Scheme A Honduran man who conned investors out of roughly $ 2 million has been sentenced to five years in federal prison , announced Acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas Prerak Shah . Jose Anibal Linares , 42 , pleaded guilty to one count of mail fraud in October 2020 . He was sentenced today to 60 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge David C. Godbey , who also ordered him to pay more than $ 2.3 million in restitution . A Honduran citizen in the U.S. formerly on Temporary Protected Status , Mr. Linares may be subject to removal from the U.S. after serving his sentence . According to plea papers , Mr. Linares admitted to running a Ponzi-type scheme , luring investors into handing over “ principal ” that he later deposited in bank accounts at Wells Fargo , Bank of America , and Legacy Texas , then paying them “ interest ” from other investors ’ principal payments . Mr. Linares , who operated JC Loans Finance and Inversiones JC Dallas , admitted he falsely told investors their funds were “ insured by the FDIC ” and promised monthly returns based on investments in commercial and residential real estate , including a water resort and shopping centers in Honduras . He then mailed investors letters thanking them for joining the JC “ family. ” Instead of investing their money , however , Mr. Linares admits he spent substantial amounts of investor funds on personal expenditures , and even wired some of the money to family members in Honduras . In the meantime , he made lulling payments to investors by withdrawing large sums from his Bank of America and Wells Fargo accounts , generally using funds that had been deposited immediately beforehand from other investors . On some occasions , he even took investors ’ cash payments from one set of investors in his office , then turned the cash over to other investors waiting in his lobby for their monthly disbursements . By summer 2017 , Mr. Linares admits , he had ceased all monthly payments and did not return investors ’ principal investments . The Federal Bureau of Investigation ’ s Dallas Field Office conducted the investigation . Assistant U.S. Attorney Katherine Miller is prosecuting the case .

An Egyptian civilian court ordered the army on Tuesday to end forced virginity tests on female detainees in military prisons . The decision comes after one of the abused women filed two suits against the practice , which has caused an uproar among activists and rights groups . One demanded it be banned and the other suit accused an officer of sexual assault . The virginity test allegations first surfaced after a March 9 rally in Cairo 's Tahrir Square that turned violent when men in plainclothes attacked protesters and the army forcefully cleared the square . Human Rights Watch said seven women were subjected to the tests . An army official was quoted in May as saying the tests were carried out so that the military would not later be accused of having raped the detainees . A military judicial official said last week that cases of reported forced virginity tests had been transferred to the Supreme Military Court and that military personnel accused of taking part in violent clashes and human rights violations against protesters would be prosecuted . `` We demand that those who committed this act be held accountable , '' said Basma Zahran , a lawyer from El-Nadim Center for Rehabilitation of Victims of Violence . The military rulers who replaced deposed President Hosni Mubarak in February have come under mounting pressure from activists who criticize them for mismanaging the transition to civilian rule and violating the human rights of protesters . It is the second case in a week where civilian activists have obtained a favorable ruling in cases involving the army . On Sunday , another civilian judge ordered the release of a prominent blogger whom the army had detained in October on charges of `` inciting violence and sabotage '' during a protest by Christians .

Story highlights - Muslim women take to Westminster Bridge Sunday to publicly show horror over the attack - 12th person arrested Sunday , Metropolitan Police say ( CNN ) Muslim women linked arms along Westminster Bridge Sunday in a show of solidarity with the victims of last week 's London terror attack . The women , many of whom wore blue to symbolize peace , were joined by supporters who stood in silence for five minutes as Big Ben struck 4 p.m. Four days prior , lone attacker Khalid Masood rammed a car into pedestrians on the bridge , killing three and leaving dozens injured . He crashed the vehicle before later stabbing an on-duty police officer in the grounds of Parliament . Masood was shot dead by police at the scene . A fourth victim died later in the week , when his life support was withdrawn . The vigil , which was organized by the Women 's March on London , came after a photo of a woman wearing an Islamic head covering crossing the bridge in the aftermath of the attack went viral on social media . Some commentators criticized what they perceived to be the woman 's indifference to an injured victim in the image . 'Sadness , fear and concern ' The woman in the photograph released a statement Friday to set the record straight . `` Not only have I been devastated by witnessing the aftermath of a shocking and numbing terror attack , I 've also had to deal with the shock of finding my picture plastered all over social media by those who could not look beyond my attire , who draw conclusions based on hate and xenophobia , '' she told Tell MAMA , a UK-based organization which monitors anti-Muslim attacks . `` My thoughts at that moment were one of sadness , fear , and concern , '' the unnamed woman said in a statement . Full coverage - Police name London attacker - London unites against terror - A city stilled , shocked , enraged - Opinion : Attack was long overdue - Analysis : Do n't bet on lone wolf - Challenge of low-tech terror - Politician rushes to victim 's aid `` What the image does not show is that I had talked to other witnesses to try and find out what was happening , to see if I could be of any help ... My thoughts go out to all the victims and their families . '' The photographer who took the photo has spoken out in the woman 's defense . `` The people who took on that picture are being rather selective , '' freelance photographer Jamie Lorriman told Australian broadcaster ABC . `` In the other picture in the sequence , she looks truly distraught ... personally I think she looks distressed in both pictures . '' Another arrest made In all , twelve people were arrested in relation to the attack . The latest was a 30-year old man who was detained Sunday in Birmingham `` on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts '' under the TACT or Terrorism Act 2000 , Metropolitan Police said . Nine people who had been arrested earlier have been released `` with no further action . '' A 58-year-old man who was arrested Thursday in Birmingham remains in custody . A 32-year-old woman , arrested in Manchester , is out on bail , pending further inquiries . Investigators : No direct ISIS link Investigators do not currently see a direct ISIS hand in the attack , a British counterterrorism official said earlier in the weekend . Khalid Masood was active on the encryption messaging service WhatsApp two minutes before he started his attack on Westminster Bridge , but no evidence has emerged to show he was communicating with ISIS at any point , the official told CNN . Investigators are looking into communications he had with individuals leading up to the attack , the official added . But investigators currently believe Masood was more likely inspired by ISIS rather than directed by the terrorist group , the official told CNN . Investigators are still assessing whether the attacker plotted alone or acted as part of a broader conspiracy . They 're continuing to probe his contacts in radical circles in Birmingham , Luton and London , the official told CNN . Investigation underway Authorities are also investigating how Masood , who used multiple aliases , became radicalized . He was born Adrian Russell Ajao but also used the name Adrian Elms , police said Friday . Born in Kent , Masood had previous convictions , including some for violent offenses , but none for terrorism , police said . His most recent conviction was in 2003 for possession of a knife . Attack victims In addition to four deaths , last week 's attack wounded at least 50 others , 31 of whom needed hospital treatment , Rowley said . American tourist Kurt Cochran and college administrator Aysha Frade , a British citizen with Spanish roots , died Wednesday along with police constable Keith Palmer . A fourth victim , Leslie Rhodes , 75 , from Streatham in south London , died Thursday night after his life support was withdrawn , according to the Metropolitan Police . Cochran and his wife , Melissa , from Utah , were visiting London to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary when they were hit by the car on the bridge . Melissa suffered a broken leg , a broken rib and a cut to her head . The couple ran a recording studio in West Bountiful , near Salt Lake City . The Metropolitan Police issued a statement from their family Monday in which they said Melissa 's health is improving . `` So many people have been so kind , and we are deeply touched by their goodness and generosity . Your notes , prayers , donations and love have helped us so much , '' they said . `` The most difficult part of all of this is that Kurt is no longer with us , and we miss him terribly . He was an amazing individual who loved everyone and tried to make the world a better place . He left a legacy of generosity and service that continues to inspire us . `` We are deeply saddened to lose him but are grateful that the world is coming to know him and be inspired by him . ''

Advertisement FOLLOW ON A much-loved statue of a short-in-stature sailor – believed to have been stolen in a university prank – has been returned to his home . One of Nova Scotia ’ s most photographed fishermen , Shorty has been a popular attraction in picturesque Peggy ’ s Cove since he took up residence there last summer . Peter Richardson , owner of Peggy 's Cove Lobsters , bought the beloved wood carving for $ 1,000 to draw customers to his lobster roll food truck . Richardson was devastated when the pipe-smoking , sou ’ wester- wearing sailor vanished last week . But Saturday saw a group of Dalhousie University students contact Richardson saying they had ‘ rescued ’ Shorty from a house , after seeing a CTV report that he was missing . “ We just wanted to ensure that Shorty could go back to his rightful owners and to Peggy ’ s Cove for all the tourists , ” one of the students told CTV Atlantic . “ We think it was a prank gone wrong , ” another added . Richardson travelled to Halifax on Saturday night to collect Shorty . He said the students told him they had heard a rumour that a group of guys had taken the carving , so they went to the men 's house while they were away and removed it . Steps have been taken to secure Shorty and plans are underway to have a Mrs. Shorty carved to keep him company . “ I just got off the phone with the girl that carved Shorty and I was commissioning her to carve a Mrs. Shorty , so when Shorty came back , he would have somebody to watch , keep an eye on him so he would n't wander off , ” Richardson said . Richardson had posted an appeal for Shorty ’ s return on Facebook and even offered a $ 200 reward . -- - With files from The Canadian Press

WELLINGTON , NEW ZEALAND -- The island nation of Tonga on Friday reported its first-ever case of COVID-19 after a traveller from New Zealand tested positive . Tonga is among the few remaining nations in the world that have avoided outbreaks of the virus . Like many of its neighbors , Tonga 's isolation has helped keep it safe but it faces big challenges should the virus take hold due to its under-resourced health system . The nearby nation of Fiji avoided significant outbreaks until April , when the Delta variant ripped through the island chain , infecting more than 50,000 people and killing at least 673 . Tonga 's Prime Minister Pohiva Tu ' i'onetoa said in a radio address that the traveler was among 215 passengers who had arrived on a flight from the New Zealand city of Christchurch on Wednesday and had been isolating at a quarantine hotel . The prime minister planned on Monday to make an announcement about any future lockdowns , according to news website Matangi Tonga . Christchurch had been free from the virus for months until this week , when four community cases were reported after a returning resident caught the virus while in Auckland , where an outbreak has been growing since August . New Zealand health officials said the traveller to Tonga was fully vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine and had returned a negative test before leaving for Tonga . The officials said they would be working with their Tongan counterparts to confirm the case and provide more details in the coming days . Tongan Health Ministry chief executive Dr. Siale 'Akau'ola said it was unfortunate the plane had already left Christchurch before the news came of the community cases there , Matangi Tonga reported . 'Akau'ola said all frontline workers including health staff , police officers and airport staff who were on duty when the plane arrived had also been put into quarantine after the positive case was confirmed . He added that all those working near the flight had been vaccinated . Located northeast of New Zealand , Tonga is home to about 106,000 people . About 31 % of Tongans are fully vaccinated and 48 % have had at least one dose , according to research group Our World in Data .

MIDVALE — Even in the face of a month of unprecedented turbulence for Utah e-commerce platform Overstock.com , the company ’ s blockchain technology-focused investment subsidiary Medici Ventures appears to be moving full steam ahead and on Thursday announced a $ 2 million investment in Salt Lake-based identity security startup Evernym . Overstock ’ s market value has reeled since mercurial figurehead and longtime CEO Patrick Byrne resigned in late August following news stories , and statements from Byrne , that detailed his alleged involvement in covert , international government investigations . Last week , Byrne divested almost 5 million shares of stock in the company he remade in the 1990s , and then Overstock Chief Financial Officer Greg Iverson resigned . After hitting a three month low of $ 11.19 on Sept. 18 , the day after Iverson announced his departure , the stock has recovered slightly and was trading at $ 12.53 at the end of regular trading Thursday , a price that falls below the company ’ s 2002 IPO per share value . Medici , however , remains bullish on the downstream potential of companies putting blockchain technology to practical use . Its investment in Evernym , by way of convertible , simple agreement for future equity ( SAFE ) certificates , appears as further evidence of an ongoing mission the company says is driven by the goal to “ democratize capital , eliminate middlemen and rehumanize commerce. ” Jonathan Johnson , Medici president and now the official Overstock CEO following his interim appointment after Byrne ’ s exit , said Evernym is innovating new , blockchain-based tools to allow individuals to assert control over their personal identity information . “ Evernym is bridging the gap between the siloed approach to identity and true self-sovereign identity , ” Johnson said in a statement . “ Evernym ’ s platform allows every person , organization and connected thing to have an independent identity . Evernym fills out Medici Ventures ’ identity pillar within our keiretsu and will help advance our government-as-a-service technology stack for civilization. ” Evernym President Steve Havas told the Deseret News the personal identity protections his company is innovating , which run off a decentralized , distributed ledger blockchain platform , are already being adopted by some consumer-facing financial institutions looking to bolster identity security . “ At Evernym , we ’ re adding a layer of trust to the Internet , ” Havas said in a statement . “ Our self-sovereign identity platform allows organizations to issue verified digital credentials to their customers , which those consumers can then use to prove who they are to anyone , anywhere . “ As a result , businesses can foster more trusted digital relationships with their customers , while offering a more secure , seamless and privacy-protecting experience. ” While issues with cryptocurrencies based on distributed ledger platforms have , perhaps , become the most visible touchstone for the general public ’ s familiarity with blockchain , a recent Forbes report by Jefferson Nunn noted the utility of decentralized systems has much broader potential uses . Nunn notes that since the 2017 Equifax breach that leaked data on as many as 143 million Americans , another 29 major breaches have exposed the personal data of 1 billion people worldwide . “ Bitcoin and blockchain have been attacked by pundits solely because of the price action , ” Nunn wrote . “ A closer look by enterprising professionals could reveal a treasure trove of improved security and reliability around personal data and to reduce the threat of attacks . Companies of all types , including insurance companies , could save billions by taking the proper action to secure the data. ” In a Deseret News interview last month , Johnson said over $ 200 million has flowed into the Medici investments and he expects that moving forward , the growth of the blockchain-based product innovations will outpace what ’ s happening in an e-commerce realm that has a lot more competitors now than when Overstock launched in 1999 as an inventory liquidator . “ I see strong growth on both sides , but the potential for exponential growth is in the blockchain companies , ” Johnson said . “ Many of the ( 18 currently ) companies in the portfolio now have products in , or nearing , production. ” Industry watchers generally viewed Byrne ’ s separation from the company , both as an executive and later as a stockholder , as a net win for Overstock , particularly in light of the nature of his claims as being some sort of “ deep state ” operative . But Iverson ’ s exit appeared to touch off investor worries . In the meantime , Overstock has appointed a veteran financial officer , Robert Hughes , as acting chief financial officer and begun a search for a permanent replacement . Johnson said having someone with Hughes ’ background and experience overseeing Overstock finances while the search for a permanent replacement plays out will ensure the company “ does not miss a beat. ” “ Rob was the company ’ s ( senior vice president ) of finance and risk management for five years and v.p . and controller for four years . He is intimately familiar with Overstock ’ s businesses and financial systems , ” Johnson said in a statement . “ Under his guidance , Overstock had steady and positive financial results and reporting . I ’ ve worked closely with Rob for many years , and he is a great person to oversee our finance department while we look for a permanent CFO . I appreciate his willingness to step in during the transition. ” Overstock declined a Deseret News request for comment on Byrne ’ s stock liquidation , instead referencing a statement distributed by the company in a press release Monday . “ Since his departure on Aug. 22 , Byrne has not held any management or board responsibility , ” the statement reads . “ Byrne continues to be a public figure , and the views he expresses and actions he takes are his own . ”

Tougher public health restrictions come into effect Monday in many parts of Canada as some regions are dealing with concerning COVID-19 case counts and rising hospitalizations . In Quebec , the province announced 4,571 COVID-19 infections -- a new single day record . Bars , restaurants , retail stores , places of worship and entertainment activities in the province must now operate at half capacity , while all sports tournaments and competitions are suspended until further notice . The government also backtracked on increasing the maximum number of people allowed at indoor gatherings to 20 over Christmas . It has kept the limit at 10 people . New capacity restrictions are also in place in British Columbia and Newfoundland and Labrador to help curb the spread of COVID-19 and the Omicron variant . B.C . has capped capacity for bars and restaurants at 50 per cent , while Newfoundland and Labrador has limited bars to 50 per cent capacity and restaurants to 75 per cent with physical distancing . Dr. Bonnie Henry , B.C . 's provincial health officer , said the restrictions will last for the next six weeks . Ontario implemented its new public health orders Sunday , which see restaurants , retailers , gyms and other indoor settings operating at 50 per cent capacity . While theatres are allowed to keep their doors open , some production companies in Ontario are cancelling shows to contend with the rise in COVID-19 cases driven by the Omicron variant . In Ottawa , plans to bring the acclaimed `` Hamilton '' musical to the National Arts Centre 's Southam Hall next month have been postponed until July . Plans to premiere the eagerly anticipated Tom Stoppard play `` Leopoldstadt '' in North America in early 2022 have been cancelled . Theatre producer David Mirvish issued a statement saying the `` sudden arrival '' of the variant made it impossible to move forward . `` I 'm not giving up on 'Leopoldstadt . ' I 'm determined to present this magnificent play in Toronto sometime in the future when it is safe to do so , '' he said . Meanwhile , adults in Ontario who want to book a COVID-19 vaccine booster may have to wait more than a week for an appointment as many health regions say bookings were snapped up Monday morning . The province has expanded eligibility for booster shots to those ages 18 and older , as long as it has been at least three months since their second shot , due to rising case numbers and the threat of the Omicron variant . Health Minister Christine Elliott 's office said more than 125,000 third-dose appointments had been booked through the province 's online portal as of 10 a.m. , but that number does n't include shots booked through pharmacies , local public health units and other channels . `` We are pleased to see so many people embrace the opportunity to ensure strong protection against the Omicron variant , '' said Alexandra Hilkene , a spokeswoman for Elliott . The province reported 3,784 new daily infections and no additional deaths from the virus . This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 20 , 2021 .
