EDT | News | Register-Herald.com – Beckley Register-Herald https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/ap-business-summarybrief-at-633-a-m-edt-news-register-herald-com-beckley-register-herald/ Allies aim for risky Russian oil price cap as winter nears WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials celebrated at the start of September when top allies agreed to back an audacious, never-before-tried plan to clamp down on Vladimir Putin’s access to cash. The countries would pay only cut-rate prices for Russian oil. That would deprive Putin of money to keep prosecuting his war in Ukraine, but also ensure that oil kept gushing out of Russia and kept global prices low. But nearly a month later, the organization made up of some of the world’s leading economies, the Group of Seven, is still figuring out how to execute their plan and gather participants. Rebel violence in eastern Congo causes hunger to soar NYIRAGONGO, Congo (AP) — Humanitarian workers say hunger is now soaring in eastern Congo after months of fighting between M23 rebels and the army. An internal draft assessment by aid groups seen by The Associated Press says nearly 260,000 people are facing extreme food insecurity in Nyiragongo and Rutshuru territories. But only 10% of those targeted by aid groups this year received the full recommended food assistance. That’s because of a lack of funds and security concerns that has restricted access to some areas. Health staff at one hospital said that the number of severely malnourished children had nearly tripled between April to July. Ukraine presses counteroffensive after Russian setback KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia has attacked the Ukrainian president’s hometown with suicide drones and Ukraine pushed ahead with its counteroffensive that has embarrassed the Kremlin. Ukraine took back control of a strategic eastern city, Lyman, which it had been using as a transport and logistics hub. That’s a new blow to the Kremlin as it seeks to escalate the war by illegally annexing four regions of Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said more Ukrainian flags are flying in what was recently Russian-occupied territory. His hometown was among targets of suicide drones in the latest fighting Sunday. UK’s Truss sticks by economic plan as her party worries LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Liz Truss has acknowledged she could have done a better job “laying the ground” for her package of unfunded tax cuts. But she insisted Sunday that she would push on with an economic plan that has caused turmoil on financial markets and weakened the country’s public finances. Truss acknowledged that the U.K. faces “a very turbulent and stormy time” but said her policies would lead to a “high-growth, low-tax economy” in the longer term. The comments are unlikely to calm Truss’s Conservative Party. The party opens its four-day annual conference on Sunday amid plunging poll ratings and growing public discontent. Latvian premier’s party emerges on top in general election HELSINKI (AP) — Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins’ ruling center-right party has won the most votes in Latvia’s general election and centrist parties were runners-up. Pro-Moscow parties crashed in a vote Saturday that was shaped by neighboring Russia’s war in Ukraine and divisions among the Baltic country’s sizable ethnic Russian minority. More than 97% of the votes were counted and initial results showed on Sunday that Karins’ New Unity party had taken 18.9% of votes. Th opposition Greens and Farmers Union was second with 12.8% and the new centrist electoral alliance United List was third with 11%. Ruptured oil pipeline off California approved for repairs LOS ANGELES (AP) — A federal agency has given a Texas oil company approval to repair a pipeline that ruptured a year ago and spilled tens of thousands of gallons of crude off the Southern California coast. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers granted the approval Friday to Amplify Energy Corp. The Houston company pleaded guilty to federal charges last month of negligently discharging oil. The spill in October 2021 closed miles of beaches and shuttered fisheries for months. Environmentalists who want the operation off Huntington Beach shut down criticized the permit and called for quickly phasing out offshore oil drilling. Chinese billionaire Richard Liu settles US rape allegation MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — JD.com founder Richard Liu has agreed to settle a lawsuit from a former University of Minnesota student who alleges he raped her after a night of dinner and drinks in 2018. Attorneys for Richard Liu and the woman, Jingyao Liu, released a joint statement Saturday night saying the case was settled. They did not disclose a settlement amount, but said the incident resulted from a misunderstanding and they agreed to settle their differences. Richard Liu was arrested on suspicion of felony rape in August 2018. Prosecutors never filed charges, saying the case had “profound evidentiary problems.” He stepped down as JD.com’s CEO this year amid increased government scrutiny of China’s technology industry. Nobel season is here: 5 things to know about the prizes COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — The beginning of October means Nobel Prize season. Six days, six prizes, new faces from around the globe added to the world’s most elite roster of scientists, writers, economists and human rights leaders. This year’s Nobel season kicks off Monday with the medicine award, followed by daily announcements: physics on Tuesday, chemistry Wednesday and literature on Thursday. The 2022 Nobel Peace Prize will be announced on Friday and the economics award on Oct. 10. Each prize is worth 10 million kronor (nearly $900,000). 10 torture sites in 1 town: Russia sowed pain, fear in Izium IZIUM, Ukraine (AP) — Russian torture in Izium was arbitrary, widespread and absolutely routine for both civilians and soldiers throughout the city, an AP investigation has found. AP journalists located 10 torture sites in the Ukrainian town, including a deep sunless pit in a residential compound, a clammy underground jail that reeked of urine, a medical clinic, and a kindergarten. AP also spoke to 15 survivors of Russian torture and confirmed the deaths of eight men. All but one were civilians. The AP found a former Ukrainian soldier who was tortured three times hiding in a monastery, and connected him with loved ones. Copyright 2022 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Hutchinson Regional Medical Center’s President Speaks Of Healthy Aging – The Hutchinson News https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/hutchinson-regional-medical-centers-president-speaks-of-healthy-aging-the-hutchinson-news/ Ken Johnson  |  Special to the Hutchinson News September is healthy aging month, an annual observance that is reaffirmation that, regardless of age, no one is getting younger and we are, (hopefully), as the old expression goes, “aging gracefully.” In a recent interview, a 105-year old farmer in Minnesota attributed his longevity to maintaining an active mind and body. For the second year in a row, America’s life expectancy declined to 76.1 years; the lowest since 1996. The two year drop of 2.7 years is the largest decline in 100 years. Factors included in the decline range from COVID-19 to accidental deaths, drug overdoses and an unhealthy lifestyle. On the other hand, 97,000 Americans have achieved the distinction of being centenarians, a term denoting more than 100 years in age, the most of any nation on earth. Men should take note that 85 percent of centenarians are women. As a healthcare professional, I am often asked for an opinion on healthy living. Although some may say genetics is the ultimate factor in our longevity, we can all slow potential medical problems by mere changes in lifestyle. So, if cardiovascular issues are common in your family tree, it should be a warning sign that exercise and healthy eating habits may reduce the chances of that occurring to you. Driving to work early each morning, it is encouraging to observe Hutchinsonians starting their day with a brisk walk. And, in my trips to a local gym, it is apparent that more people are starting their day with a workout. There are days I almost want to say “power to you, and keep it up.” Medical journals are unanimous in stating smart food choices, a good night’s sleep of seven to nine hours, avoidance of tobacco products and no more than a moderate consumption of alcohol are important factors in longevity. Many non-consumption factors that are often overlooked deal with the mind and include everything from adaptability to change, maintaining a sense of humor, determination, optimism, and maintaining social relationships. It is never too late to take control of your health, so let’s all make the commitment to do so today, and by next September we will be reaping the benefits of a healthier and happier life. Ken Johnson, president and CEO of Hutchinson Regional Healthcare System

Lenovo’s ThinkReality VRX Headset Brings The Metaverse To Corporates – Screen Rant https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/lenovos-thinkreality-vrx-headset-brings-the-metaverse-to-corporates-screen-rant/ Lenovo has announced the ThinkReality VRX all-in-one VR headset aimed at corporate users who require immersive experiences in a business setting. Lenovo has released the ThinkReality VRX virtual reality headset with hopes of targeting the business market. With large corporations such as Walmart getting into the metaverse, the AR and VR market has become appealing to businesses in various industries. As AR and VR become more mainstream, many companies are exploring ways to integrate the technology into their marketing strategies and products. Consumer-level AR and VR headsets have steadily been rolling out with more impressive features and relatively lower price points. Supplemental products such as haptic gloves and full-body VR suits are being developed to expand the ways consumers can engage with the metaverse. Since the technology is still in the early stages, some hardware is too expensive to market to the average user. Lenovo‘s new ThinkReality VRX is an all-in-one VR headset and prototyping tool marketed to large and growing businesses. Unlike Lenovo’s Meta Quest 2 rival Legion VR700, the ThinkReality VRX offers premium features for high-end clients. The headset features a pancake lens for optics and four front-mounted cameras for 6DoF tracking. It also features two color pass-through cameras and is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon XR platform. In addition to the impressive VR screen and AR pass-through capabilities, the VRX is also supported by cloud software and security features for enterprise clientele. Limited access to the headset will begin by the end of 2022, with worldwide availability rolling out in early 2023. Pricing will be revealed closer to the release date. There may be a market for premium VR headsets in corporate markets. With many users stepping into the metaverse for the first time, it may not be necessary for everyone to opt for pricier devices. But expensive technology is a byproduct of rapid advancement, and enterprise markets may be the solution to sustaining the continued development of premium devices with higher prices. With several VR and AR devices and products becoming available to businesses and consumers, the metaverse is being established as a promising market for investors. As consumer-level products become accessible, businesses have more incentive to create engaging virtual products. As a result, companies have been finding new ways to make the metaverse more immersive for users. Whether or not corporations will need their own line of advanced VR headsets, many businesses will likely be investing in the metaverse. Each industry will have to navigate its place in this new market and discover the best ways to entice potential customers with the latest virtual reality integrations. Source: Lenovo

O-Zone: Slow The Roll – Jaguars.com https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/o-zone-slow-the-roll-jaguars-com/ JACKSONVILLE – Let’s get to it … Gero from Wenden, Germany Hello, John. If I’m not wrong, we played the two games we won with white jerseys. For Sunday against Philadelphia, the white tops were chosen again. A good omen? Also, the players apparently said in the locker room that they want to get a win for Doug Pederson. I’m not big on uniform-based omens, superstitions or witches’ brews. My father used to keep his glasses in a certain place when we watched Washington games, and we both sort of believed the positioning mattered in the outcome. This system worked well in 1991 when the team was one of the best of the modern era and worked less well the next season when a veteran team suddenly became an aging one. My wife has worn a black shirt with a Jaguars logo the past two Fridays and hasn’t watched the Jaguars play Sunday. She firmly believes if she watches Sunday’s game, the Jaguars will lose. This is silly thinking from a woman typically not given to silliness. If Jaguars players believe they play well in white jerseys, I suppose it could help. Until it doesn’t. And yes … Jaguars players want to get a victory Sunday for Head Coach Doug Pederson, who was the head coach in Philadelphia from 2016-2020. Eagles players also want to get a victory. The Pederson-versus-his-old-team thing is a cool storyline. If the Jaguars win, it will be played up. If they lose, it won’t have mattered much. That’s typically how these things go. JR from The Squatchlands What are the odds the ’72 Dolphins will be popping champagne this weekend? Members of the 1972 Dolphins – the only team in NFL history to finish the regular season and postseason unbeaten – famously “pop” champagne each season when the NFL’s last unbeaten team loses. The Eagles are the NFL’s last unbeaten team this season. I’m bad at odds. I think the Eagles will win because they’re good, healthy and playing at home – and because I expect quarterback Jalen Hurts to strain the Jaguars’ defense in a way the unit hasn’t faced yet. I expect the Jaguars’ offense to not quiiiite be as efficient as last week because it’s difficult for a young team to be consistent enough to get into the 30s on the road against good teams in back-to-back weeks. But while I expect the Eagles to win, the Jaguars are playing well enough that I wouldn’t be surprised if they win. So, I suppose I think there’s a decent chance the ’72 Dolphins will pop champagne Sunday, but I sure wouldn’t guarantee it. Bo from Winter Springs, FL Remember all the preseason chatter about how it was the same old Jags? And how people were saying that in training camp that the Jags’ bad offense against the Jags’ bad defense would be us having high expectations and then disappointment again? And many people getting so upset about the “whole” game instead of focusing on the first quarter where we played better than every team we faced until the backups and guys who are no longer on the team played? Those were fun days. Were they? Bill from Hammock, FL Zone, our first three games have been against fairly immobile quarterbacks. This week we are facing a very mobile one. How big of an issue, if any, do you see? This is a big issue. Hurts indeed is the most versatile quarterback the Jaguars will have faced this season. Teams must account for his running ability and none of the Eagles’ first three opponents really have stopped him or the Eagles’ offense this season. I think the Jaguars have the skill set at linebacker with outside linebackers Travon Walker and Josh Allen and inside linebacker Devin Lloyd to play well against Hurts. I believe they can keep Hurts’ mobility from wrecking the game. But in a close game, I do wonder if Hurts can find a way to make one or two plays that could be the difference. That’s how I could see his mobility being an issue Sunday. Kinney from Westside I know you said be nice and I don’t mean it in a disrespectful kind of way but I am so happy we hired Urban Meyer last year. His lack of talent as an NFL head coach is the reason we were able to land not only our draft picks but the coach of the year. No way we get him last year if we didn’t get Urban. Doubt another coach would have wet the bed the way he did and get fired after less than one year. Your first sentence aside, this was kind of disrespectful. And it certainly was not “nice.” Sean G from Saint Johns City If you look at teams playing back-to-back road games over time, I’d expect that record would be fairly low. This one sets up really good for the Eagles. Back-to-back road games are difficult and – as with most things in the NFL – how difficult depends on the quality of your team. Good teams typically fare OK in back-to-back road games and struggling teams, well … struggle. This game sets up well for the Eagles because they’re playing well and they’re at home. The Jaguars have a decent chance for the same reason they beat the Los Angeles Chargers on the road last week – because they’re confident, healthy and playing well. Charles from Port St Lucie, FL These are the things about the national sports media that really irritate Jags fans. Adam Caplan on drive time this week said our punt game and return teams have been inconsistent. That’s a really dumb take that anyone familiar with the Jags wouldn’t make. I was on Drive Time with Caplan this week, and I admit I missed this “take.” I also admit that when assessing heinous crimes against humanity, I would rank this comparatively low. But what irritates you irritates you, I suppose. Charles from Port St Lucie, FL So … we were at six-to-sevens wins before the season. A win this week … where are you at? I’m probably around eight-to-ten now, up from six-to-seven before the season. If the Jaguars beat the Eagles Sunday, I probably would go up to ten-to-11. I would do so reluctantly, because I am at heart an aging pessimist who like to see things before I believe them, but go I probably would. Bradley from Sparks, NV Considering his age and ceiling, there are only three NFL quarterbacks I would trade Trevor Lawrence for without thinking about it (Lamar Jackson of Baltimore, Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City, Josh Allen of Buffalo and only two more I would strongly consider (Justin Herbert of the Los Angeles Chargers, Joe Burrow of Cincinnati). Thoughts?? I like Mahomes and Allen much better than Jackson, because I still wonder if Jackson will be as effective if injuries/wear and tear hurt his ability to run. While Mahomes and Allen are mobile, they seem to rely less on the threat of the run to dictate defenses. I would put Herbert and Burrow in the same conversation as the above three players. I might take any of the five over Lawrence because all five have proven themselves over a sustained period whereas Lawrence has begun to show consistency over his last three or four games. But if Lawrence is what we have seen the past two games … Richard from Jacksonville Do you think we will see a trick or “gadget” play if the situation arises? Yes. John from Jacksonville Hi KOAGF – Enjoying the success this season so far but sticking with your concept of waiting until about Game 6 to see more of a better sample set. When do you think we’ll see the return of the long ball (both attempts and an actual completion)? The Jaguars will throw long passes – and complete them – in due time. Lawrence, remember, connected on a 49-yard pass to wide receiver Christian Kirk against Washington in Week 1 – a play-action pass set up by two strong runs by running back James Robinson. Deep shots weren’t really part of the Week 2 game plan against an Indianapolis Colts defense designed to consistently allow underneath throws. The offense was working again with throws to the sideline and intermediate routes in a Week 3. We’re three weeks in. Game plans and opponents often dictate this. There’s no reason to believe it won’t happen. Chris from Mandarin If we beat Philly on the road, I’m going to poop my pants John. Please send help. I didn’t see the part about “if we beat Philly on the road” when first reading this email. I thought it would be less disturbing with that part. It was not. Chris from San Diego, CA For the record, the Jags have won exactly one more game than at the same time in 2020 when the team went 1-15. How about we slow down the playoff/Super Bowl talk? Chris is not “all in.”

Famed US Extreme Skier Gets Traditional Nepalese Funeral – The Washington Post https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/famed-us-extreme-skier-gets-traditional-nepalese-funeral-the-washington-post/ KATHMANDU, Nepal — A famed extreme skier from the United States who was killed after falling from one of the world’s tallest mountains was on Sunday given a traditional funeral at a Sherpa cremation ground as Buddhist monks officiated over a ceremony attended by family, friends and government officials. Hilaree Nelson, 49, fell off the 8,163-meter (26,775-foot) summit of the world’s eighth-highest mountain. Mount Manaslu, last week while skiing down with her partner, Jim Morrison. Nelson’s body was taken to the Sherpa cremation grounds in Kathmandu from a hospital morgue on the back of a open truck, which was decorated a poster of her and bedecked with garlands of flowers. Family, friends, mountaineers and government officials gathered at the funeral ground, offering flowers and scarfs that were place on her remains, which were then rested on a stack of wood. Buddhists monks lit the pyre as they played musical instruments and chanted prayers while mourners lit incense. Nelson’s family members had flown to Kathmandu for the funeral. She disappeared on Sept. 26 and rescuers searching by helicopter located her body two days later and it was flown to Kathmandu. Bad weather had hampered the initial search. Climbers om Mount Manaslu have been struggling with bad weather conditions and repeated avalanches. On the same day Nelson fell, an avalanche at a lower elevation on the same mountain killed a Nepalese man and injured several other climbers. Hundreds of climbers and their local guides have attempted to reach the mountain’s summit during Nepal’s autumn climbing season. Nelson, from Telluride, Colorado, and Morrison, from Tahoe, California, are extreme skiers who reached the summit of Mount Lhotse, the world’s fourth-highest mountain, in 2018. Nepal’s government has issued permits to 504 climbers during this year’s autumn climbing season. Most are climbing Mount Manaslu.

Thanks to the metaphor, it is possible to reach aspects of human nature”, explains Aguado, who is inspired by Athena, goddess of wisdom and warTo The Oracle, and Hebe, the creator of the elixir of youth, to The Alchemist. Oracle, the value of experience “Who Oracle I wanted to be a symbol of the generation of the 20th century, in which, although institutional culture predominated, what provided the most knowledge was experience, not academic degrees. For this reason, although next to the character appears a supercomputer in the shape of an architectural ruin that predicts the best probability for any given question, in the end it is experience that provides the information to solve it. Alchemist, Elixir for the Planet In the case of the AlchemistThe character is no longer looking for a personal youth elixir, but for the planet, as the climate crisis is one of the main problems IE students will face, which has always been advocated research and environmental protection, Plus, unlike The Oracle, he does it with internet guides or YouTube videos,” explains the artist. “Technology is the fruit of culture and, at the same time, it is a tool that produces culture.” Technology, the key to both pictures Despite these references to classical culture, the pieces have been created using Latest Technology in 3D Illustration and generative animation. “Technology is the fruit of culture and, at the same time, it is a tool that produces culture,” says Aguado, who proposes a new way of enjoying a work of art. “In the Alchemist I’ve got flowers to fade and bloom seasonally and, in Oracle, the tree will grow during the next five years, the circle of students entering IE. Paintings are sensitive to temperature and, if the maximum limit is exceeded on the same day of the previous year, the paint melts, creating a hypnotic effect and reflecting it. climate crisis,

To Get To Iconic Pilchuck Lookout, Hikers Must Brave ‘hell On Wheels’ | HeraldNet.com – The Daily Herald https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/to-get-to-iconic-pilchuck-lookout-hikers-must-brave-hell-on-wheels-heraldnet-com-the-daily-herald/ GRANITE FALLS — To get to the trailheads for two of the most beloved hikes in Snohomish County, make sure your car’s bumper is secure and your tires have enough tread. U.S. Forest Service Road 42 leads to the Heather Lake (at 1.4 miles) and Mount Pilchuck trailheads (at 6.9 miles). For many years, the muddy gravel road off Mountain Loop Highway has been notorious for its poor conditions. Deep potholes and loose ground have historically made the road impassible for drivers who either lack a high-clearance vehicle or the will to risk damaging their cars by bottoming out. When hikers mention Pilchuck, what is perhaps Snohomish County’s most iconic hike, Forest Service ranger Justin Sundstrom always asks what type of vehicle they plan to take. “We get a lot of complaints on this road,” Sundstrom said. A recent survey estimated the Heather Lake trail sees 30,000 visitors each year. It’s a relatively flat walk, 2.3 miles each way. The steeper Mount Pilchuck trail is estimated to see more than 10,000 visitors annually. It’s 2.2 miles to the summit, gaining about 1,000 feet with each mile. In local hiking circles, the forest road is a frequent topic of scorn: “hell on wheels,” as one Facebook comment put it last summer. Keeping up with road maintenance in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest keeps rangers busy. A lot of funding for road repairs comes from grants and federal funding, ranger Colton Whitworth said. That cash can be spread pretty thin. “The amount of money that’s needed to maintain these Forest Service roads is steeper than many other areas in the nation,” Whitworth said. “Just the amount of rain that we get in this area.” Road 42 is on rangers’ radar, and there will be funding to repair it eventually. “It’s just a matter of time at this point,” Whitworth said, adding that wildfire response has taken priority the past month. On a hazy September morning, it took a Daily Herald reporter about 45 minutes to make it to the end of the road in a 2013 Toyota Corolla S Special Edition. She bottomed out a few times, but made it to the top with her car’s bumper mostly intact, though her patience was thin. Bastiam Smith had just parked at the Mount Pilchuck trailhead and was preparing to hike up the mountain. The Everett resident said he had driven the road and hiked the mountain at least 20 times in his life. Smith had seen the road in worse condition in the past and gotten his car stuck on it, he said, adding “it’s been like this for a long time.” The views on the hike are worth navigating the rough road, he said. “I like how you go through the wildflowers, then the boulders,” he said. “And of course the fire lookout. I love how you get all the different views, going through the woods first.” There will be money to pay for repairing Mount Pilchuck Road — eventually, say U.S. Forest Service rangers. (Kevin Clark / The Herald) ‘Exposed to the elements’ As the sun rose one summer morning, a thick haze of wildfire smoke obscured what would have been a panoramic view from the summit of Mount Pilchuck. In the name of journalism, a Herald reporter hiked up the mountain when she heard crews would be renovating the restored fire lookout on top. The sound of helicopter blades slicing the air echoed through a valley below. A white Huey chopper emerged from the smog. Dozens of feet below, hung from a rope, heavy white boards swung from a rope. “There’s our shutters,” said Washington State Parks ranger Kevin Lease with a smile as he stood on the catwalk of the Pilchuck fire lookout. Lease was among a group of workers who hiked up the mountain to replace the 14-foot-long wooden shutters on the cabin in the sky. It would be a tall order to haul the shutters up the mountain, scrambling up steep trails and through a boulder field. Thankfully, the Snohomish County Helicopter Rescue Team offered their services. “Every year, we’re doing a lot of exterior panting and looking for structural damage,” he said. “It takes a beating. It needs more maintenance than the typical building at a lower level — being exposed to the elements, temperatures and wind.” The original fire lookout on the summit was built and first staffed in 1921 by the Forest Service — well before the age of helicopters. It was remodeled in 1938. Forest Service employees scanned valleys below for signs of smoke until the 1960s. From 1957 to 1979, Mount Pilchuck was home to a ski resort. Some longtime locals remember looking up and seeing the lights from the old resort twinkling on the mountain, Lease said. A lack of consistent snow led to the closure of the ski resort. Though some remnants of the lift remain along the trail, all buildings associated with the resort were removed in the early 1980s. Around that time, Scott Chalfant was assigned as a park ranger at Mount Pilchuck State Park. One of his fondest memories, he wrote, was hiking the trail up the mountains while the ski lift towers were being removed. “The whole process was done with a large military style helicopter,” he wrote. “Welders used cutting torches at the base of each ski lift tower, and they would cut them in coordination with the helicopter, to chopper them off the mountain … the process was fascinating, though a little bit sad.” Chalfant was a ranger at the park until 1981. He drove a Polaris snowmobile to make it up the road to the trail in the winter. A big part of his job was keeping watch of the resort buildings to make sure they were free of vandalism before they were removed. In 1989, volunteers from Everett’s chapter of The Mountaineers restored the cabin in the sky. After thousands of hours, the structure was restored as an L-4 style cabin. Taken in 1921, this photo of the original Pilchuck fire lookout is displayed inside the restored structure. (Photo provided) A story written by former Herald writer Mark Funk about the restoration ran in an October 1989 edition of the newspaper: “From a mile in the sky,” the story begins, “the October fog that hunkered down in the Stillaguamish and Skykomish river valleys this weekend looked like an inland sea. Above it all Saturday were a band of men and women who worked and dreamed in the brilliant autumn sun. After several hours of labor in the rarefied air 5,324 feet above sea level, they paused to admire their handiwork. ‘I think we saved the poor old thing,’ said Don Foley, an Everett Mountaineers member who estimates he has reached the top of Mount Pilchuck at least 20 times.” Thirteen lookouts remain of more than 80 that once stood in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. And of the 656 lookouts constructed in Washington state over the years, less than 100 still exist. Many historic photos and sites can be found on willhiteweb.com, the personal website of an avid mountaineer from Washington. As far as payoff for effort, Pilchuck is one of the best bargains in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest.

Look east, and the silhouette of Glacier Peak carves its way into a glowing cotton candy horizon. To the north, Mount Baker towers at 10,781 feet of elevation. If you turn around, you’ll see Mount Rainier to the south. And to the west, island cutouts weave through Puget Sound. A mural inside the lookout gives a panoramic diagram of that jagged skyline, if you want to double-check what mountain you’re looking at. “Mount Pilchuck is such an iconic mountain for our region,” park ranger Lease said. “Anywhere you go in the county, if you look up on a clear day, you’ll see it. It’s certainly not the highest, but most people know it. I encourage anyone who’s able to hike up to it to do so in their lifetime. Getting up to a lookout is spectacular, and this one is really special.” Ellen Dennis: 425-339-3486; ellen.dennis@heraldnet.com; Twitter: @reporterellen.

How To Design The Perfect Vacation Rental, According To An Airbnb Stylist – Travel + Leisure India https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/how-to-design-the-perfect-vacation-rental-according-to-an-airbnb-stylist-travel-leisure-india/ With Airbnb’s active listings climbing to 6 million worldwide in 2022, becoming a successful Airbnb host has never been more dependent on having a soulful and memorable aesthetic. Guests who choose to rent a home for their vacation are not just looking for a well-appointed hotel room; they want to feel inspired and have their imagination engaged. Your property has to be a destination in itself. By Emilie Gabella A listed property has only a few seconds to grab a viewer’s attention. As an avid boutique traveller and self-taught interior stylist, I understand what it takes to stand out online. I’ve narrowed down some of these key design elements for a vacation rental based on my work helping boutique properties around the world elevate their aesthetic, generate more bookings, and increase their revenue. Top five tips to design a vacation rental of everyone’s dreams 1. Mix and Match Decor To create a unique aesthetic, start with mixing and matching furniture and accessories. Take items you’ve bought while travelling or scouring antique markets and thrift shops, or even family heirlooms, and combine them with more sleek, high-end pieces. A vintage piece of furniture provides a focal point, and for additional flair, add opulent fabrics such as velvety accent cushions, thick woollen throws, or plush carpets. 2. Use Accent Colors Image Credit: Bulgac/Getty Images Whether your interior uses neutral or vibrant hues, an accent colour is very important because it creates contrast and allows you to personalise your interior. There are various ways to add accent colours: painting a single wall, highlighting the structural elements of a room such as the ceiling beams, adding accent furniture, or even opting for a coloured floor. The key is to pick a colour that will complement the entirety of your interior. For example, if your overall colour palette is more earthy, natural, and modernist, an olive-green accent wall in your bedroom could look amazing. 3. Bring (More) Light Lighting is an essential element of a well-designed interior, if not the most important one. Bad lighting can strongly depreciate the look and feel of a property. Integrating light fixtures into key areas will immediately change the vibe, adding either warmth and cosiness or sophistication and flamboyance. To ensure you place those fixtures in the ideal spots, look at where natural light comes from and pinpoint which areas would benefit from an extra source of light. From candleholders and freestanding fixtures to wall-mounted and hanging options, the idea is to bring in as much light as possible for poorly exposed rooms and to tastefully dim rooms that are over-exposed. 4. Stage Artwork while designing your vacation rental Adding artwork to your interior is essential for two main reasons: Art pieces such as paintings, prints, and sculptures will provide personality to any room. Plus, one of the main reasons guests book an Airbnb is to feel immersed in the area they stay in. Featuring art made by local artists is a great way to add this regional flair. Be sure to choose pieces that complement your interior’s colour palette as well as the atmosphere. If your space has a more vintage, eclectic vibe, I recommend picking colourful artwork. On the other hand, for a boho, earthy and organic vibe, black and white modernist pieces are perfect. 5. Add greenery and simple flower arrangements One of the easiest and more budget-friendly ways to add personality to a room is to incorporate greenery. Potted or hanging, tall, medium or small, plants create a welcoming atmosphere. Even adding a simple fresh flower bouquet will do the trick, especially if you do not have a green thumb. You can add greenery to any room, even the bathroom. Never use fake, plastic plants, however — they could cheapen your interior. Avoid overloading your space with too many plants at the risk of transforming it into a garden centre.

IMF Loan Support Programme: No Need To Panic – Economist – Ghana Business News https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/imf-loan-support-programme-no-need-to-panic-economist-ghana-business-news/ Dr Patrick Asuming Dr Patrick Asuming, an Economist, has asked Ghanaians not to engage in “unexpected cash withdrawals” (panic withdrawals) as the Government prepares for debt restructuring. He also urged domestic investors to continue to repose confidence in the economy because the International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan support for Ghana’s homegrown economic programme would restore macroeconomic stability to make them thrive. Debt restructuring refers to a situation where someone who owes (in this case, the Government of Ghana) comes to the realisation that it will not be able to pay the debt as originally agreed, therefore, negotiates with the lender for help. In such a situation, the debtor (the Government) negotiates with the lender (financial institutions) to either extend the time of payment or agree to reduce the amount that is supposed to be paid back by the lender (which is referred to as a haircut). Dr Asuming, who is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana, told the Ghana News Agency that the Government would go for domestic debt restructuring as part of the negotiations for an IMF loan support programme. He said the Government would avoid external debt restructuring because it would affect the country’s reputation on the external capital market and its ability to quickly return to the market – which is currently closed to Ghana. “When you have a treasury, and you want to liquidate before the maturity, you’re going to lose some money. But this should not be a situation where anyone would act in panic and say they’re going to take their money from any financial institution,” Dr Asuming said. “The Government is really between a rock and hard place, but it’s more likely to have a domestic debt restructuring. The Government has been borrowing a lot and our interest costs have been rising, with Treasury Bills at upwards of 30. Therefore, it’s expensive to pay the debt,” he noted. The Senior Lecturer said the Government would have to negotiate with domestic financial institutions for either an extension to pay its debt or reduce the amount to pay back – be it the principal or interest payment. He noted that: “Whether the debt restructuring is going to be a delay in payment or reduction, it’s going to affect their (the banks) bottom line – profit, and hamper domestic investors,” the Economist said, but cautioned against panic withdrawals. He explained that it was important for the Government to put out information to avoid speculations and said: “The Government must communicate and assure the citizens that people are not going to lose their money.” The Economist said once the implementation of the IMF programme starts, times would be tough in Ghana with citizens having to endure some hardship for about three years. He said: “An IMF programme would only help us restore macroeconomic stability. We must have a complete reset and change in mentality that we can depend on foreigners to finance our development.” “Ultimately, we must look to generate more domestic revenue and build a more financially sustainable public finance system that is rooted in a structurally more diverse economy. We must do more domestic production,” he encouraged. At a press briefing in Accra on Wednesday, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta, the Finance Minister, said the Government was yet to conclude processes for debt restructuring with the IMF. He said, “We simply have not reached any agreement with the Fund on the parameters of any debt operations as we are in the process of completing the debt sustainability analysis.” The Minister noted that the Government was still working with the IMF Team to update the country’s medium-term macro-fiscal framework to inform the designing of the programme. Ghana is negotiating with the IMF for an expected $3 billion loan facility for its homegrown economic programme, which is to help the country navigate through the current economic hardship and improve its fiscal balances sustainably.

4 Indian Ingredients To Include In The Diet Of Children To Ensure Growth And Health – NDTV Food https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/4-indian-ingredients-to-include-in-the-diet-of-children-to-ensure-growth-and-health-ndtv-food/ Include these ingredients in their regular diet and see your little one bloom into a healthy young adult.Unsplash Getting children to eat a balanced and healthy diet is a challenge for most parents. From limited food preferences, developing tastes and tantrums to being plain restless, there are several reasons why children struggle to finish a plate of healthy food. While the basics of a healthy diet remain the same for all age groups – eat mostly fruits and vegetables, followed by carbohydrates such as whole grains, then dairy and fats – children need more calcium for their growing bones, protein for increasing muscle mass and antioxidants to enhance their immunity. Children grow about 2.5 inches (6 to 7 centimetres) each year and gain about 2-3 kg per year until puberty starts, which means they need plenty of nutrition. Also Read: 11 Best Healthy Recipes | Easy Healthy Recipes Prakriti Poddar, spokesperson, RoundGlass Living, recommends four Indian ingredients that can give your child the extra edge to grow and live with health and happiness. As a mother of three young children, she is more than familiar with the challenges of getting children to eat healthy and how their diet can be optimized to provide adequate nutrition. Include these ingredients in their regular diet and see your little one bloom into a healthy young adult. 1. Kokum This bright-coloured sour fruit grows mainly in the Western Ghats, and is a rich source of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients with anti-inflammatory properties and even anti-cancer activity. The fruit is packed with anthocyanins, antioxidants that give it its rich colour and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps in boosting the immunity of children and keeps their gut healthy. How to use: Consume it in form of a juice prepared by soaking kokum overnight and then extracting its juice. Add kokum to curries and dals for a dash of sourness and health. 2. Mango Ginger This unique ingredient looks like ginger, tastes like raw mango and belongs to the turmeric family. It is a rich source of antioxidants and nutrients and is used in traditional medicinal systems as an appetizer, anti-pyretic, emollient, expectorant and laxative. This means it can help with common health challenges faced by growing children, such as frequent coughs and colds as well as constipation. Called aamba haldi in Hindi, mango ginger also has anti-inflammatory properties that help in healing skin injuries and skin diseases. How to use: Mango ginger is mostly used as a pickle. Its juliennes can be added to soups and salads or used to prepare the salad dressing. Or prepare a chutney using mango ginger and other complimentary ingredients. 3. Tulsi or Holy Basil This flowering plant from the mint family is an integral part of Indian culture and holds religious and culinary significance for many communities. But its nutritional properties make it an essential ingredient to include in the diet of children. For instance, tulsi contains powerful nutrients like vitamin C that help boost the immune system of children. Eugenol, an antioxidant, helps fight skin disorders such as acne that frequently affect adolescents. It also helps in reducing cold and congestion in the chest. Its anti-inflammatory properties make it a soothing ingredient for the seasonal fevers that commonly afflict children. How to use: Add some leaves to boiling water to make herbal tea and offer it to your child daily to help maintain immunity. Rub tulsi oil on the skin of your child to keep her safe from mosquito bites when she goes out to play. 4. Anantamul or Indian Sarsaparilla This relatively less-known root grows in the Himalayan region, as well as in coastal areas. It has many skin-healing properties that can be handy for managing teen acne and other skin disorders. It has blood-purifying properties that can prevent the appearance of pimples. In addition, it could potentially also be used to manage blood sugar in children with co-morbidities. How to use: Dried roots can be brewed in hot water to make herbal tea which can be consumed as per requirement. Your child may initially find its herb.

Perfume In The Metaverse? Beauty Brands Are Now Getting In The Game – The Star Online https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/perfume-in-the-metaverse-beauty-brands-are-now-getting-in-the-game-the-star-online/ Will we one day be able to wear perfume in the metaverse? It might seem impossible, but that’s not stopping brands from presenting their new scents in these parallel worlds. In fact, Armani Beauty is doing just that by teaming up with Fortnite to promote its new fragrance. A field of all possibilities, the metaverse now allows people to buy virtual fashion and accessories, to see exhibitions or to attend concerts. Read more: Vanity Fare: Fresh, radiant and bold fragrances to lift your mood But these new worlds at the frontier of reality are above all favoured by brands seeking to gain visibility among their prime target, the Gen-Z, which masters these worlds like no other – even if only a minority have actually set foot in them. As a result, some brands have decided to go big, pulling out all the stops to stage initiatives in places where consumers are actually present – that is, in the world of gaming, a form of metaverse that is enjoyed by billions of people around the world. Armani Beauty has now partnered with one of the most popular games, Fortnite, to promote its new men’s fragrance “Code”. Evidently, it’s not a question of testing the new fragrance online, which is impossible for now. Here, it’s about encouraging users to take part in an immersive experience called “Rewrite the Code” as a means of discovering the scent – in turn making as many people as possible want to try it – and buy it. “In a world where time flows backwards, players race through maze-like speed runs to collect the numbers needed to unlock the Armani Code building and the Armani Code Parfum bottle, in order to harness its magnetic power to put the world forwards again,” explains the brand on its Instagram account. Through this game, players have the opportunity to get acquainted with the bottle, the ingredients, and especially the scent’s wider universe. Creating their own world, or a themed space in the metaverse allows brands to present their new products, while also building customer loyalty, and even creating a community.

Binance has been extremely busy in 2022, even amid a crash in cryptocurrency prices and macroeconomic uncertainty. The company has continued to diversify its offerings and scour for new markets. In recent months, the company’s stateside entity Binance.US earned new investment as it strives to topple incumbents like Coinbase. Competitors have also been taking notice. And while Binance sits comfortably atop the market for crypto exchanges, rising competitors like FTX are looking to find new opportunities to increase their market share, pursuing bold M&A strategies and scaling venture investments. The exchange’s breakneck growth has attracted the attention of regulators as well, particularly in the United States. This summer, Bloomberg reported that the SEC was investigating Binance’s 2017 coin offering of their BNB token.

U.S. Ambassador To The Philippines Meets With Filipino Community In Honolulu – Hawaii News Now https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/u-s-ambassador-to-the-philippines-meets-with-filipino-community-in-honolulu-hawaii-news-now/ HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) – America’s top diplomatic official to the Philippines is in Honolulu this week for high level security meetings. U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines MaryKay Carlson joined top Philippine military officials in meetings with U.S. defense secretary Lloyd Austin and Indo Pacific Command’s top brass. But defense isn’t the only priority. Carlson met with a few members of the Filipino community on Saturday for some food diplomacy at Terry’s Place in Chinatown. A career diplomat, Carlson is just a few months into her stint as the U.S. Ambassador to the Philippines — but she’s hit the ground running. “I had the honor to to participate in that meeting, and to see firsthand the significance of our alliance, and to see that it is a an evolving and enduring partnership between our two militaries, that benefits our peoples, because the security, you can’t have economic development, or education or anything without that security cooperation,” she said. Economic development is top of mind for many Hawaii Filipino entrepreneurs, young professionals and politicians, who met with Carlson for a roundtable lunch. Melody Calisay runs an import business — she wants to know what the U,S, is doing about China’s growing influence in the region and potential impact on trade. “I was able to share with her my future concerns especially I’m a businesswoman. And I know what the what is going on on the shipping problems in the Philippines. So she gave me a very good perspective on what to expect,” Calisay said. But military interests aren’t the only reason the United States and the Philippines have maintained strong ties for more than 75 years, despite some bumps during the prior administration. “I’m so excited to be part of reinvigorating the partnership as we come out of primarily two years of a pandemic experience, where all relationships of all types were constrained,” Carlson said. Carlson said the U.S. is working to improve access to veterans services and expedite visa processing and other consular issues. “We are working very diligently to to increase our operations again. But it’s not like turning on a switch. I wish it work. But we are committed to improving our services and reducing the wait times,” Carlson said. Some believe bringing in overseas workers could be one solution to the labor shortage crisis. “Whether it’s in teachers or nurses or, or folks who do landscaping, that we can do what we can to make sure that under the constraints of the laws of both of our countries, that we facilitate immigration and travel to the greatest extent possible,” Carlson said. Just as the early waves of Filipino workers helped grow Hawaii’s economy, some believe a new wave can help with post-pandemic recovery. Copyright 2022 Hawaii News Now. All rights reserved.

Mass Resignations Hit Chinhoyi University Of Technology – Bulawayo24 News https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/mass-resignations-hit-chinhoyi-university-of-technology-bulawayo24-news/ THERE is high attrition of academic staff at Chinhoyi University of Technology (CUT) due to poor salaries and other conditions of service. The resignations of senior staffers, including professors, leaving for other better rewarding higher and tertiary institutions, locally and abroad, is threatening excellent education delivery at the institution. Speaking during CUT’s graduation ceremony in Chinhoyi Friday, Vice Chancellor, David Jambgwa Simbi said the brain drain had negatively impacted on the institution’s capacity to deliver on its mandate of being the citadel of technological innovations. “The issue of brain drain that nearly destroyed higher education between 2006 and 2009 is resurfacing. Since January 2022, nineteen (19) academics have resigned from CUT, of which 14 were PhDs and professors,” said Simbi. “This is a disturbing statistic as it flies in the face of efforts by the executive in championing innovation and industrialisation pillars. “Most academics are, however, leaving to introduce the same concepts at universities that they are going to.” Simbi hinted that those who left CUT would regret as better days were coming. “I, however, have a message for those who are leaving that the sun is rising,” he said. The vice chancellor lamented that the university had recorded a low uptake of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) programmes at postgraduate level due to a shortage of tutors and resources. Meanwhile, CUT Chancellor, President Emmerson Mnangagwa challenged graduates to demonstrate acquired education by making products and services and should desist from bragging about having useless paper qualifications. “Paper qualification can be futile if you cannot produce something tangible. We must celebrate producing something tangible. “We must have a high performance and results culture within the higher and tertiary education ecosystem,” Mnangagwa said. He made the remarks while addressing guests the institution’s farm where he commissioned Industrial Cattle Fattening Pens and Medicinal Feed Factory, which are part of several initiatives and innovations by the institution. “We must no longer celebrate because you now have a paper qualification, but that you have been moulded in a practical way that enables you to produce goods and services.” Mnangagwa emphasised that the education system should adequately empower a graduate to self-sustain and contribute to national development to dovetail with the national thrust of modernisation and industrialisation to ensure attainment of an upper middle income society by 2030.

Turkish Tourists Prefer Balkan Countries For Vacation – Hurriyet Daily News https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/turkish-tourists-prefer-balkan-countries-for-vacation-hurriyet-daily-news/ ISTANBUL – Demirören News Agency Balkan countries are the foremost choice of Turks for holidaying thanks to visa liberalization, geographical proximity, cultural partnership, affordability and low exchange rates. class=’cf’ “The Balkans are very attractive to Turkish tourists as they offer visa-free travel, are affordable, and are close to Türkiye,” said Muhammet Ali Köprü, the head of a tour operator company, Malitur. He noted that while tourism has been one of the most affected sectors by the pandemic, the demands have reached high levels with the normalization. Underlining that the Balkans is a popular destination in all seasons, Köprü said: “Turkish citizens prefer countries that do not require visas for an easier holiday. The Balkans is the optimum choice for historical and cultural travels, rather than the classic beach vacation.” Köprü also pointed out that it is very possible to come across many Ottoman artifacts in cities such as Sarajevo, Skopje, Ohrid and Pristina. “The Balkans is a ‘geography connected to our hearts.’ We have many similarities culturally and gastronomically, which is very suitable for the Turks’ taste.” “There are both air and road alternatives in the Balkan tours, which save time compared to long and tiring travels,” Köprü said, noting that there are direct flights from both international airports in Istanbul. class=’cf’ Amid the euro’s upward trend, the Turkish Lira maintains its strength against the currencies of the Balkan countries, Köprü informed. “Turkish Lira is still valuable against Serbia’s dinar, Romania’s Leu, Albania’s lek and North Macedonia’s dinar. Therefore, tour prices are also cheaper,” he explained. Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Kosovo and Albania stand out in travel preferences as they grant visa liberalization to Turkish citizens. Recently, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced that citizens of Türkiye and Serbia are now able to visit the two countries with their identity cards, thanks to a deal made during his visit to Serbia. “Our excellent relations are improving day by day. The protocol signed on travel with identity will take our relations to a new level,” he stated. Some 300,000 tourists visited Türkiye from Serbia in 2022, and traveling with identity will increase this number, along with providing the businessmen to carry out their mutual travels much more easily, Erdoğan said. Additionally, Türkiye and Bosnia also decided to pave the way for their citizens to travel between the two countries with identity cards. class=’cf’ “In a new step, we have decided to make round trips between Bosnia and Herzegovina-Türkiye with identity cards,” Erdoğan stated. Türkiye keeps its connection strong with the Balkans as the country has deep-rooted historical, human, and cultural ties in the region and tries to avoid tensions, the president said.

Chinese Billionaire Richard Liu Settles US Rape Allegation – 69News WFMZ-TV https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/chinese-billionaire-richard-liu-settles-us-rape-allegation-69news-wfmz-tv/ MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Chinese billionaire and JD.com founder Richard Liu agreed to settle a lawsuit filed by a former University of Minnesota student who alleged he raped her in her Minneapolis apartment after a night of dinner and drinks with wealthy Chinese executives in 2018, attorneys for both sides announced late Saturday. A settlement amount was not disclosed. Richard Liu, who stepped down as the CEO of Beijing-based e-commerce company JD.com this year amid increased government scrutiny of China’s technology industry, has denied raping the woman, Jingyao Liu, and prosecutors never filed criminal charges. A joint statement from attorneys for both sides called the encounter “a misunderstanding.” “The incident between Ms. Jingyao Liu and Mr. Richard Liu in Minnesota in 2018 resulted in a misunderstanding that has consumed substantial public attention and brought profound suffering to the parties and their families,” the joint statement said. “Today, the parties agreed to set aside their differences, and settle their legal dispute in order to avoid further pain and suffering caused by the lawsuit.” The settlement was announced just two days before the civil trial was set to begin Monday in a Minneapolis courtroom. On Friday, a jury of seven men and five women were picked to hear the case. Richard Liu is a celebrity in China, part of a generation of entrepreneurs who created the country’s internet, e-commerce, mobile phone and other technology industries since the late 1990s. Forbes estimated his wealth at $10.9 billion on Saturday. Jingyao Liu alleges the attack happened in 2018 while Richard Liu was in Minneapolis for a weeklong residency in the University of Minnesota’s doctor of business administration China program, geared toward high-level executives in China. Jingyao Liu, a Chinese citizen, was at the university on a student visa and was a volunteer in the program at the time. The Associated Press does not generally name people alleging sexual assault, but Jingyao Liu has agreed to be identified publicly. Jingyao Liu was 21 and Richard Liu was in his mid-40s at the time, the lawsuit said. They are not related. Richard Liu, also known as Liu Qiangdong, was arrested on suspicion of felony rape in August 2018, but prosecutors said the case had “profound evidentiary problems” and declined to file criminal charges. Jingyao Liu sued Richard Liu and JD.com in 2019, alleging sexual assault and battery, along with false imprisonment. The case drew widespread attention at a time when the #MeToo movement was gaining traction in China. Richard Liu’s supporters and opponents waged an aggressive public relations campaigns on Chinese social media; censors shut down some accounts that supported Jingyao Liu for “violating regulations.” Jingyao Liu said in her lawsuit that she had to withdraw from classes in fall 2018 and seek counseling and treatment. Her attorney said she has since graduated but has post-traumatic stress disorder. She sought compensatory as well as punitive damages from Richard Liu. Her lawsuit said she was seeking more than $50,000, a standard figure that must be listed in Minnesota if a plaintiff intends to seek any larger amount. She was expected to ask a jury to award much more. On the night of the alleged attack, according to the lawsuit, Richard Liu and other executives went to a Japanese restaurant in Minneapolis and one of the men invited Jingyao Liu at Richard Liu’s request. She felt coerced to drink as the powerful men toasted her, and Richard Liu said she would dishonor him if she did not join in, her lawsuit claimed. According to text messages reviewed by The Associated Press and Jingyao Liu’s interviews with police, she said that after the dinner Richard Liu pulled her into a limousine and groped her despite her protests. She said he raped her at her apartment. At one point, she texted a friend: “I begged him don’t. But he didn’t listen.” Her friend notified police, who went to her apartment. Jingyao Liu told one officer, “I was raped but not that kind of rape,” according to police. When asked to explain, she changed the subject and said Richard Liu was famous and she was afraid. She told the officer that the sex was “spontaneous” and she did not want police to get involved. Police said they released Richard Liu because “it was unclear if a crime had actually taken place.” In a later interview with an investigator, Richard Liu said the sex was consensual and the woman “enjoyed the whole process very much.” Jingyao Liu told a police sergeant that she wanted to talk with Richard Liu’s attorney and threatened to go to the media if she did not, according to police. Richard Liu’s former attorney recorded the phone call, in which Jingyao Liu said she didn’t want the case to be in the newspaper and “I just need payment money and apologize and that’s all.” A recording of the phone call was expected to be played as evidence at trial. Surveillance videos from the restaurant, the restaurant’s exterior and the halls of the woman’s apartment complex were also expected to be played for jurors. Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

Source Digital To Introduce Seamless Video/Metaverse Experience In Europe – PR Newswire https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/source-digital-to-introduce-seamless-video-metaverse-experience-in-europe-pr-newswire/ A recently-awarded European patent further solidifies Source as a Web3 Network of Networks. Deploying interactive content within coordinates values across any video and metaverse network. , /PRNewswire/ — Source Digital, Inc. announces the awarding of a European patent that further cements the company’s dominance in interactive video as well as in monetizable aspects of the metaverse. The patent not only covers functionality for activating visual content in video, but at any coordinate in any metaverse Source can enable interactivity for end users, empowering a more personalized, seamless video-metaverse (cross-verse) experience. Source Digital Source Digital already has the technology and IP that is agnostic to audio, video or metaverse – to facilitate personalized SAM’s (Source Activated Moments) designed for user engagement and interactivity around information, socialization, shopping, contextually targeted brands, advertising, and virtually any other extension of interactivity against moments in time. This patent further extends the company’s capability to deploy SAM’s directly correlated to any on-screen visual location in video (2D), metaverse (3D), or augmented reality (3D). Each SAM “coordinate” effectively creates a mapping system allowing end users to touch/click any digital location/object and get an interactive return of information – even buy or share it! Users can also re-experience or cross-link the precise metaverse moment when they originally found it. (Imagine clicking on a shirt and immediately accessing information about the brand, adding it to your cart, and buying or sharing it with a friend; then, jumping right back to the original moment when the item was found.) This patent also provides the ability to match the physical location of an end user (on earth) or digital object (in the metaverse) and identify its real-world coordinates. In all cases, these intersections can trigger additional digital interactive events (similar to the description above). As a bonus feature, the patent also extends the synchronization of metaverse experiences to traditional video. Users can watch a favorite movie and synchronize an in-world experience from that movie. They can also watch a favorite live concert, jumping back and forth from a lean-back physical world to a lean-in immersive virtual world. “We’re thrilled to expand our reach into European markets, with a greater capacity to optimize the user experience for creators, merchants, and advertisers,” shares Source Digital, Inc. Co-Founder/Chief Executive Officer Hank Frecon. “This opportunity enables us to join our advanced technology with the most cutting-edge online capabilities, bringing the metaverse and video alive like never before.” With 9 US patents already secured, Source Digital has established itself as the foremost innovator in the next generation of advertising and e-commerce. In 2022 alone, the visionary tech company pioneered groundbreaking partnerships with both the National Hockey League and key tourism departments across the nation. Implementing its next-generation ad tech solutions, consumers discovered an entirely customized viewer or visitor experience while brands found new ways to expand their audience. The July announcement of Source Digital’s partnership with Metaverse Investments Ltd. further solidified the company’s leadership in the rapidly expanding Web3 industry. Now, the awarding of an 11th patent allows this forward-thinking tech team to provide an even more personalized experience to the European market. Source Digital’s advanced technology systems will be able to sync a SAM to a piece of content/object within the metaverse at a specific moment in time, enabling the company to identify and synchronize all data points. This way, users can ascertain their location within both the metaverse and video. While Source Digital is pursuing similar patents in the US and elsewhere, this initial European grant will allow for further development of future iterations. Learn more at SourceDigital.net. About Source: (SourceDigital.net) Source Digital, Inc. is a disruptive monetization platform that delivers a new era of social engagement through video and the metaverse.

Mind Your ZZZs… More So If You Are A Night Owl – DTNEXT https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/mind-your-zzzs-more-so-if-you-are-a-night-owl-dtnext/ Sleep deprivation in long run leads to Alzheimer’s: Expert Scientific research on Alzheimer’s patients has shown that sound sleep for seven to eight hours every day is absolutely essential. Sleep is the time for the restorative activity for the body and mind; the brain cleanses itself of the abnormal proteins beta-amyloid and tau that are created due to high metabolic activity. Sleep deprivation in the long run accumulates and is detrimental to brain health leading to Alzheimer’s, says Dr Naresh Purohit, executive member of the Indian Academy of Neurosciences. Sharing his concern on the rise in Alzheimer’s cases in the country, Dr Purohit, Principal Investigator for the Association of Studies for Mental Care, said at a recent event that India is on the cusp of a dementia epidemic with dementia patients projected to spike from the 44 lakh at present to over one crore by 2050. Incidentally, this surge can be ascribed to the growth in our geriatric population as India moves closer to becoming the world’s most populous country, surpassing even China. He said Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the neuro-degenerative diseases and accounts for sixty to seventy per cent of cases of dementia. Usually, the disease starts slowly and turns worse in due course of time. “One of the most common symptoms is memory loss, even about the recent events. This is known as shortterm memory loss syndrome. With the advancement of the problem, symptoms of trouble with the loss of motivation, language, mood swing, easily getting lost, issues with behaviour and taking self-care etc are seen among the affected persons,” he added. Dr Purohit, also Advisor for National Mental Health Programme, averred that in Alzheimer’s patients the ability to switch from a state of wandering mind to attentiveness breaks down leading to memory lapses and disorientation. He cautions, that there is no cure or medicine to date for this ailment and therefore it is important to take steps to delay the onset of the disease. He pointed out that medical research has established conclusively that smoking and excess sugar is harmful to the body but it is a big risk factor for developing dementia as well. Interestingly, factors that are linked to the onset of diabetes such as obesity and stress are also the factors that are likely to lead to Alzheimer’s and dementia, he added. Experts explained that a healthy diet is another indispensable factor in how to delay the onset of neurological age-related conditions like Alzheimer’s. They suggest following a Mediterranean diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds. Seafood and eating eggs thrice a week while avoiding red meat, processed foods, and white flour, help not only in preventing dementia but also heart disease. Experts revealed that focussed activity such as practising meditation for a sustained period changes the brain structures and helps patients with memory-related disorders. “People need to do something that will challenge their brain and make one feel wanted,” experts said. They emphasised that half an hour of physical exercise every day, whether it be Yoga or even walking is non-negotiable. Such activities help to maintain the fitness of not just the body but also the mind. They averred that keeping the mind active be it through problem-solving, crossword or even learning languages helps immensely. Social interactions, taking part in clubs and associations and doing charity work especially to keep the mind engaged after retirement are crucial. Experts clarified that WhatsApping or even being on Instagram is not social interaction.

India Freezes More Crypto Including Bitcoin And Tether As Investigation Involving Binance And Wazirx Deepens – Regulation Bitcoin News – Bitcoin News https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/india-freezes-more-crypto-including-bitcoin-and-tether-as-investigation-involving-binance-and-wazirx-deepens-regulation-bitcoin-news-bitcoin-news/ India’s Directorate of Enforcement (ED) says it has frozen more cryptocurrencies, including bitcoin, tether, and the Wazirx token. The action is part of its investigation of the mobile gaming app E-nuggets. In its latest announcement, the ED revealed that nearly 86 bitcoins found at crypto exchange Binance were frozen. Indian Authority Freezes More Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Tether, Wazirx Token India’s Directorate of Enforcement (ED) announced Friday that it has frozen two more cryptocurrencies under the country’s Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The ED is the Indian government’s law enforcement and economic intelligence agency. The announcement details: Directorate of Enforcement (ED) has freezed the crypto currencies WRX (utility token of Wazirx) and USDT (tether, an Ethereum token that is pegged to the value of a U.S. dollar) equivalent to Rs 47.64 lakhs. The ED initiated a money laundering investigation of Aamir Khan and others relating to E-nuggets on the basis of an FIR dated Feb. 15, 2021. Aamir Khan, S/o Nesar Ahmed Khan launched E-Nuggets, “which was designed for the purpose of defrauding public,” the Indian authority said. “Further, after collecting handsome amount from the public, all of the sudden, the withdrawal from the said app, was stopped, on the pretext of one and other excuses.” The agency explained that its investigations have revealed that the accused transferred the amount earned through the E-nuggets gaming app using a cryptocurrency exchange, elaborating: Amount equivalent to Rs 47.64 lakh was found in the wallet of Wazirx (crypto exchange) belonging to Aamir khan and its associates and the same has been freezed under PMLA. In addition, the ED noted that during searches conducted earlier against Amir Khan, Rs 17.32 crore cash was found and seized from the residential premises. Indian Authority Freezes More Bitcoin at Binance The latest announcement by the ED states: 85.91870554 bitcoins equivalent to USD $1,674,255.7 (equivalent to Rs 13.56 Cr approx. as per market exchange rate) found in balance in Binance exchange was freezed. In an earlier announcement, the ED said it had frozen 77.62710139 bitcoins on Binance. That means the ED froze 8.29160415 more BTC. Binance was believed to have acquired Wazirx in 2019. However, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) recently said that the acquisition “was never completed,” emphasizing that “Binance has never — at any point — owned any shares of Zanmai Labs, the entity operating Wazirx.” The ED froze the bank assets of Wazirx worth more than $8 million in August. However, earlier this month, Wazirx said that its bank accounts have been unfrozen. Following Wazirx, the ED froze crypto and bank assets worth $46 million of Vauld, a crypto platform backed by Peter Thiel. In August, the agency searched crypto exchange Coinswitch Kuber. However, the exchange’s CEO said that it was not related to money laundering investigations. What do you think about the Indian authority freezing more cryptocurrencies amid money-laundering investigations? Let us know in the comments section below.

Elite U.S. Coast Guard Team Navigates Difficult Rescues After Ian – NBC 6 South Florida https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/elite-u-s-coast-guard-team-navigates-difficult-rescues-after-ian-nbc-6-south-florida/ A highly trained team, navigating canals in hard hit areas like Pine and Sanibel Island, rescued residents Saturday from communities cut off by the devastation of Hurricane Ian. “These are 15-foot rubber inflatable boats. they’re very capable in smaller sea conditions,” Lt. Joshua Welsh, a member of the National Strike Force with the U.S. Coast Guard said. The critical flood response team is made up of members from around the country and has been assisting in lifesaving rescues since before Hurricane Ian hit. “We’ve been going through the canals and going to places that are hard to reach because our boats are more capable of going into shallow areas,” Welsh, who leads leading the multi-missioned crew said. So far the team has assisted in 50 rescues. “They have wheels that can flip down on the back of them and they are also transportable,” he said. Navigating areas where other agencies can’t, Welch said the rescues are difficult but rewarding. Local “It’s exhausting but fulfilling. Even just talking to someone and they have that relief that we’re out there and we’re there if they need us,” he said. “It’s very gratifying.” In coming days, the National Strike Force will transition its focus to recovery. “Checking for oil spills, checking for any kind of pollution, status of the ports,” Welch said. On top of 50 rescues Saturday, the team did 45 wellness checks on Sanibel and Pine Islands. It is just one of many agencies out here trying to reach those stranded and cut off from the mainland.

St. Francis Opens Home Slate With Emphatic Win Over Central Connecticut State – TribDem.com https://clarkcountynewsnow.com/st-francis-opens-home-slate-with-emphatic-win-over-central-connecticut-state-tribdem-com/ LORETTO – St. Francis University football fans finally got to see what all the buzz was about concerning Makai Jackson, and, on one play at the beginning of the second quarter, the 6-foot, 190-pound freshman wide receiver introduced himself. The routine pass over the middle that Jackson turned into a 29-yard touchdown highlighted St. Francis’ 19-point flurry to begin the game as the Red Flash – playing the first of three home games this season – moved above .500 with a 39-13 Northeast Conference win against visiting Central Connecticut State at a rainy DeGol Field on Saturday afternoon. “This is a good steppingstone of where we’re at and what we have yet to go up against,” Red Flash redshirt sophomore receiver Dawson Snyder said after making his home debut as a starter before about 30 friends and family from Somerset County. St. Francis snapped a four-game losing skid against the Blue Devils. The Red Flash are on their first three-game winning streak since 2016. “We needed this. We needed this,” St. Francis coach Chris Villarrial said. “I think it’s a testament to the coaching staff and the leadership. Last year, we got humbled and the guys didn’t like it, and they’re fighting. The leadership’s been great.” The Red Flash (3-2, 2-0 NEC) were leading 5-0 in the opening minute of the second quarter when Cole Doyle found Jackson on a seemingly innocent crossing pattern on second-and-12. Jackson, however, with malicious intent, broke a tackle at the sticks to convert the first down and kept going. Jackson then skated past the rest of the Central Connecticut State secondary and knifed into the end zone for his fifth touchdown of the year. “See, I thought was going to get leveled,” Jackson said. “I thought someone was going to drop me, but I stayed up.” Other than the electrifying touchdown, it was a modest day for the true freshman from Harry S. Truman High School just outside Philadelphia: four receptions and a 6-yard run. For the season, Jackson has 28 receptions and has won three NEC rookie of the week awards. The Red Flash were his only scholarship offer, so the young man whose motto is “stick to the plan” didn’t have any big expectations for this fall. “I didn’t expect to see much of the field, maybe get redshirted and develop more. I wasn’t expecting this much. Just keep your head down, grinding and keep the faith,” Jackson said. Another true freshman Red Flash wideout, Elijah Sarratt also came up big, catching four passes for 50 yards, including a 6-yard touchdown from Doyle in the fourth quarter. He also returned free kick 33 yards. Berlin’s Snyder, who went to Shanksville-Stonycreek and played scholastic football at Shade, had a memorable first home start, setting up the Alex Schmoke 34-yard field goal that opened the scoring 4:03 into the contest after coming back and leaping for a 28-yard catch from Justin Sliwoski. “It felt good. I wish the weather was a little bit nicer but it was a great atmosphere. We stuck to the game plan and did everything (we needed),” Snyder said. The St. Francis defense turned in its second strong performance in three weeks by holding Central Connecticut State (0-5, 0-2 NEC) to one offensive touchdown. The Red Flash came up with three takeaways, limiting the Blue Devils to 266 yards. “We’re getting better every week,” said end Donnell Brown, who made two tackles for loss and also registered two quarterback hurries. “It’s a new era. We have to stick to our principles. We can’t get too high. I know winning feels good, but losing doesn’t feel good. We’ve got to keep that pedal pushing.” The most impressive drive of the first half came in the middle of the second quarter and put the Red Flash up 19-0, going 74 yards on eight plays after holding Central Connecticut State on downs.
