Head of Epsom College

Samstag, Juni 3rd, 2023

Head of Epsom College ’s husband, who is understood to have killed his wife and seven-year-old daughter before turning his gun on himself, wrote he was ‘desperate to do something better with his days’ as he set up a doomed wine-importing business, it was revealed last night. 

George Pattison, 39, was an accountant with a history of business woes, most recently setting up consultancy firm Tanglewood in 2016, before taking out a £14,000 director’s loan in 2021.

In a presentation pitching a wine-importing company, he described himself as ’a career accountant desperate to do something better with his days’, The Telegraph reports.

Mr Pattison said he had worked ‘in a variety of industries including corporate finance, investment management and financial consultancy’. 

It comes as comments from Emma in an interview published in School Management Plus magazine six days before her death emerged, in which she said she was looking forward to an ‘exciting future’. She was found dead alongside her husband and their daughter Lettie in their home on school grounds.

The family was discovered dead at their property within the school grounds at around 1.10am on Sunday, police said, shortly after Mrs Pattison made a distressed phone call to her sister. 

Mrs Pattison moved to the college with daughter Lettie in September, while husband George remained in their old £1.5million home in Caterham as its sale went through. 

Neighbours said Mr Pattison had been ‘flitting between’ their old house and the property at Epsom College before the keys were handed to the new owners last month.

It was only then that he moved into the family’s new home.

Neighbours described Mr Pattison as reserved and said they often saw him drinking wine alone in the family’s Caterham home.

Just hours before the shootings, , who said nothing appeared out of place or unusual between the couple.

Mr Pattison was understood to show no sign of being upset or worried during the evening. 

A friend of the family told : ‘On Saturday night they threw a dinner party.

It was quite an intimate affair and literally turned out to be their last supper.

‘Nothing unusual happened. There were no arguments, no indication he would go on to do something so horrific a short time later.’

In an interview published days before her death, Mrs Pattison said she saw the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on the independent schools sector as an opportunity.

‘It could be time to shape a really exciting future for the country,’ she said. 

She also spoke about plans to open the Surrey school to a wider section of the community by improving access with bursaries. 

Mrs Pattison added Covid-19 had brought about ‘an absolute sea change’ in what parents wanted for their children.

She said: ‘They used to talk about results and EVdEN Eve NAkliyAt Oxbridge.

That has turned about-face completely since Covid. It’s now about well-being, pastoral care, kindness, service and charity.’

She acknowledged challenges for the independent sector, saying: ‘The image of the exclusive private school has to be a thing of the past.

Exclusivity is a dirty word nowadays. 

‘The independent schools sector has to offer something very different going forward, for its own pupils and for the social impact it could bring.’

Mrs Pattison added it was charity and EVDen eVe NaKLiYAT impact on the local community which was closest to her heart, saying she wanted her pupils to become ‘part of the solution’ to society’s problems.

Interviewer Zoe MacDougall paid tribute to Mrs Pattison after news of her death emerged, praising her ‘warm and easy personality’.

She said: ‘Talking to Emma, it was clear that service and kindness were core values.

Her vision was for her pupils to learn truths about the world around them, in preparation for the adults that she hoped they would become: people who would play leading roles in society with understanding, compassion and integrity. 

‘I found her inspirational.’

It emerged yesterday that Mrs Pattison made a distressed phone call to her sister Deborah Kirk in the early hours of Sunday morning, just minutes before she would be shot dead. 

Ms Kirk immediately jumped into a car and drove out to the college in Surrey, but arrived too late and discovered her sister’s body as well as those of her husband George and Lettie.

Surrey Police confirmed they believe Mr Pattison shot his wife and daughter dead before turning the weapon on himself, and that no third party was involved in the killings. 

The force has referred itself to the independent watchdog over the triple shooting after it emerged they had been in touch with Mr Pattison just days before.

The killer had held a shotgun licence for many years and officers had called him to check on the storage for his firearm last Thursday.

Officers did not visit the premises.

Home Office regulations state that gun owners must notify police of any change of address as soon as they move.

In December, Mrs Pattison told a student podcast that her move had been ‘a really big change for my family’, adding: ‘I’ve got a new job, my husband got a new job, which wasn’t meant to happen, but did, and my daughter has started a new school.’ 

A neighbour of the family in Caterham told MailOnline: ‘It’s horrific what’s happened at the college.

I never heard any arguing or anything like that when they lived here. 

‘They appeared to have it all – a nice house, good jobs and lots of money.

‘As well as the BMW, George also drove a Jaguar XR and an Audi S5.

They’d also spent a lot of money doing up the house.

‘When they first moved in it was quite a scruffy granny-style house but they’d extended the kitchen and landscaped the back garden as well as improving the front of the house.

Ex-CNN anchor files for divorce – a year after leaving network

Samstag, Juni 3rd, 2023

Former anchor Brooke Baldwin has filed for divorce from husband a – which she claimed was ‘dominated by men.’ 

Baldwin, 43, eVDEN eVe nAKliYAt married British film producer, James Fletcher, in 2018 after they met at a holiday party two years prior.

On Thursday, the former anchor filed for divorce in the Manhattan . 

She posted a statement on her announcing their decision, writing: ‘After nearly five years of marriage, with love and respect, James and I have decided to go our separate ways.

Our time time has been some of the most precious, defining, and awakening years of my life. I wish him nothing but the best as he begins this new chapter.’ 

She went on to say that there was ‘nothing scandalous or salacious about this decision’ and that they were ’simply two people who tried our best to make our union work, but ultimately realized our individual paths were taking us on different journeys…’ 

‘[It was] the healthiest thing for both of us to honor that,’ she wrote.

‘It is never easy to end a relationship with someone you love, but that does not always mean ending it is the wrong thing to do.’ 

In December, the pair appeared very in love as they enjoyed a trip to Fletcher native country just days before Christmas. 

Baldwin posted photos of the laid-back couple eating a traditional meal of fish and chips with ‘mushy peas!’ and visiting the Royal Albert Hall where ‘James printed our wedding invitations’.

She shared multiple photos of them exploring London via a double-decker bus and a snap of her sprawled on the hotel’s heated bathroom floors.

The couple’s trip didn’t indicate any sort of trouble in paradise as Baldwin proudly showed off moments with Fletcher’s family, including a video of ‘peppering’ her husband’s childhood friend’s kids with questions about English boarding school. 

‘Fun fact: My husband was sent away to school at seven!’ she wrote with a shocked-faced emoji. 

The only slight indication the couple was struggling was a New Year’s EVDen EVe nAKliYAT post which said she ‘vowed to continue *doing the work* so I can show up as the best version of myself for MYSELF…and then also for my husband…and anyone, really.

‘I’ve found myself thinking a lot about fear this last week.

Fear of the unknown. Fear of failure. Fear of not living up to what we’re capable of. Fear of showing up as our full selves and being rejected,’ she wrote on her Instagram in an honest post. 

It appears the former TV anchor evden eve NAKLiYAT is facing a lot of unknowns as she heads into 2023 single and on a new career path.

Baldwin left CNN after 13 years last April after she slammed the company for its lack of women leaders. 

Baldwin announced in February 2022 she would be leaving the liberal network. At the time, Baldwin made the shock announcement at the start of her 3pm show, CNN Newsroom, telling viewers ‘there is just more I need to do outside the walls of this place’.

Ahead of her departure, Baldwin, who first joined CNN in 2008, sat down for an interview with podcast where she described CNN as a male-dominated network.

‘The most influential anchors on our network, the highest-paid, are men. My bosses, my executives, are men. The person who oversees CNN Dayside is a man, and my executive producer for 10 years is a man. So I’ve been surrounded by a lot of men,’ Baldwin said.

Baldwin, who was temporarily pulled from the air in the build up to the 2020 election and replaced by Jake Tapper, said during the interview that she has fought for women’s stories.

‘I know I, personally, fight for women’s stories,’ Baldwin said.

‘I got told no a lot and I still managed to do it,’ Baldwin said, referring to the CNN series American Woman.

She noted that CNN has slowly started to give more women power but ‘we still have a bit of a ways to go. I want more women in the room’.

Baldwin’s exit may have been foreshadowed last fall when she posted a cryptic message to Instagram in October which suggested she was being forced off the air and temporarily replaced by Tapper.

‘As the election gears up, the political maestro @jaketapper will hold down my hour and his for the coming weeks.

Wish I was with you, but I’ll see ya on [TV] on the flip side of the election,’ she wrote on October 1.

She gave no explanation for the move, but told supporters it was ‘not my choice’ to temporarily withdraw from her afternoon slot.

She said she was going ‘nowhere’ in response to a question about her moving on elsewhere, and also dispelled speculation that the decision to step aside was for health reasons insisting that she is ‘healthy.’

Her show was then pulled for several weeks, with CNN claiming they needed more airtime for the reporters in Washington, DC.

Baldwin was one of the network’s highest-earning journalists, with a reported annual salary in the region of $4million.

The highest paid is Anderson Cooper, who is said to earn around $12million a year.

Brian Walshe appears in court on murder charges

Samstag, Juni 3rd, 2023

The husband of mom Ana Walshe appeared in court via Zoom today for a brief status hearing ahead of his murder trial. 

Brian Walshe is to death, dismembering her body and disposing of it in a dumpster in January. 

Police have not been able to recover her remains – they say they were taken from the dumpster by trash services and before they could catch up to them. 

Walshe, 47, denies murder, and claims he doesn’t know what happened to his wife, who has not been seen alive since the early hours of January 1. 

Today, his attorneys complained that they are yet to receive any discovery from the state that would help them prepare a defense.  

‘We’ve received very little discovery.

We’ve received basically nothing. We haven’t even received the search warrants - the basic stuff we should have had immediately,’ Walshe’s lawyer Tracy Miner said. 

The judge ordered the state to ‘cooperate’ and turn over their evidence. 

The case has been continued until March 1st, EVDeN EvE naKLiyaT when Walshe will return to court via Zoom again for a second status hearing. 

After that, the next step is a probable cause hearing, where it will be determined whether there is enough evidence against him to proceed to a murder trial.  

Prosecutors previously said Brian and Ana were headed for a divorce, but that Brian chose instead to kill her.

They pointed to a mountain of evidence including grim Google searches carried out on their son’s iPad that included research for disposing of a body and how long it takes for corpses to decompose.

Blood traces were found on items of Ana’s clothing that were discovered in a different dumpster, along with Brian’s DNA. 

Ana, who was a real estate agent, had built a $2million property portfolio before she died. 

She lived in Massachusetts with her husband and EVDeN eVE naKliyaT their kids, but traveled frequently to Washington DC for work. 

Her colleagues asked for a welfare check after she failed to show up to her job in January, EvdEN Eve naKLiYaT three days after she was last seen alive. 

Brian had also researched whether a person could inherit money from a missing person. 

He has pleaded not guilty to murder and disposing of a body, but is yet to submit a formal defense. 

Ana’s mother in Serbia is incredulous that her once-loving son-in-law might be capable of such violence. 

She wants ‘official information’ from the authorities that will explain their suspicion of Brian. 

THE EVIDENCE AGAINST BRIAN WALSHE 

On December 27th, days before she vanished, prosecutors say he Googled: ‘What’s the best state to divorce for a man?’ 

Ana was last seen alive at 1.30am on January 1st by friends who had been in their home for a New Year’s Eve party. 

Shortly before 5am on January 1st, using his son’s iPad, he searched;

• 1:21PM – Is it better to throw crime scene clothes away or wash them?

January 2nd 

After purchasing rugs from a Home Goods store while wearing rubber gloves and a face mask, he returned to the iPad for more research. 

He also spent $450 on cleaning supplies from a Home Depot including mops, buckets, tarps, drop cloths and various kinds of tape.  

This time, prosecutors say he searched; 

• 12:45PM – Hacksaw best tool to dismember 
• 1:10PM – Can you be charged with murder without a body? 
• 1:14PM – Can you identify a body with broken teeth?

January 3rd

Police say he visited a dumpster in Abingdon, where he was seen carrying a heavy-looking garbage bag. If you have any concerns regarding where by and how to use EVDen eve NAkliyat, you can speak to us at the webpage.  

‘He had to heft it into the dumpster,’ according to police. 

Prosecutors tried to track down those trash bags, but by the time they got to them they had been destroyed in an incinerator at a trash transfer center. 

Walshe did more research, allegedly searching; 

• 1:02PM – What happens to hair on a dead body? 
• 1:13PM – What is the rate of decomposition of a body found in a plastic bag compared to on a surface in the woods
• 1:20PM – Can baking soda make a body smell good?

January 4th 

Walshe bought bath mats, men’s clothing and towels at TJ Maxx and Home Goods.

He then visited Loewes. 

That same day, a colleague of Ana’s in Washington DC called police in Cohasset to report her missing and request a welfare check at her home. 

Police visited the family house, where they noticed the seats in Brian’s Volvo were down, and a large, plastic liner was in the backseat.  

January 5th

Police returned to the Walshe family home, where they noticed Brian’s Volvo had been freshly cleaned. 

When questioned, he said he’d thrown out the plastic liner they saw the previous day. 

That same day, he visited the dumpster near his mother’s home. 

January 8th

Walshe is arrested for misleading police.

A search warrant for the house is obtained, and police discover blood stains in the basement. They also found a knife with traces of blood on it. 

Police then searched the dumpster near his mother’s home and found 10 trash bag that were stained with blood.
Inside, they discovered;

An interpreter tried to persuade doctors at a

Samstag, Juni 3rd, 2023

An interpreter tried to persuade doctors at a hospital to approve an illegal kidney transplant for the daughter of a wealthy Nigerian politician, who it is claimed plotted to transport a street trader to the UK to harvest the organ, a court has heard. 

Evelyn ‘Ebere’ Agbasonu allegedly asked for payment of £1,500 to help secure the £80,000 private kidney transplant for the alleged recipient Sonia Ekweremadu, 25, at the Royal Free Hospital in north London in February 2022. 

Jurors at the Old Bailey heard of Ms Agbasonu’s role during the trial of Ike Ekweremadu, 60, who is alleged to have conspired with family members and others to exploit the 21-year-old street trader from Lagos in harvesting his kidney. 

The then-deputy president of the Nigerian is on trial alongside his wife Beatrice Ekweremadu, 56, their daughter Sonia and medical ‘middleman’ Dr Obinna Obeta.

They all deny conspiracy to arrange the travel of another person with a view to exploitation. 

Sonia had a ’significant and deteriorating’ kidney condition which could be managed through dialysis but cured with a transplant. 

The prosecution claims the procedure was not legal as the potential organ donor was a street trader from Lagos who had no altruistic motive or evdEn evE NAKLiyaT family connection with the recipient.

The Old Bailey has been told it was a ‘transactional’ deal, with the man to be paid up to 3.5m Naira, the equivalent of £7,000,for the harvesting of his body part and the promise of opportunities in the UK. 

He was tested in Nigeria and found to be a match for Sonia before being brought to the UK. 

The jury heard that Ms Agbasonu, who worked as a medical secretary at the clinic and spoke Igbo, stepped in to interpret during an initial meeting on February 24 between Dr Peter Dupont and EVDEN EVe NaKliYaT the donor from Nigeria. 

The consultant had concluded the man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was not an appropriate candidate and appeared relived that the transplant would not take place. 

However, according to messages from others, Ms Agbasonu appeared to agree to manipulate a second meeting to the advantage of the Ekweremadu family.

Mr Ekweremadu’s brother Diwe, who had medical training, allegedly sent Sonia Ekweremadu advice from the interpreter to show a clear family connection with the donor. 

He allegedly said: ‘Ebere said it would be easier to establish that his mum and your mum are sisters.

If we stretch it to the grandmum and grandmum the relationship will be too distant.’

Ms Ekweremadu allegedly replied with: ‘Ok, that’s fine.’ 

Diwe then allegedly laid out a financial agreement with her father, saying: ‘I’ve met the Igbo interpreter.
She agreed to work with us. She will be involved in coaching the boy, and during his consultation and interviews she will be providing the relevant interpretation.

‘She insisted that I give her £1,500. I think the just position themselves to exploit people.’ 

It is claimed the potential donor was told to pretend to be Sonia’s cousin. 

Diwe is also alleged to have said: ’We had a meeting today with her so I’ve introduced her to Chinoso (Sonia) and (the donor).

She advised that (the donor) comes to the hospital on Tuesday and eVden Eve NakLiYAT Thursday while Chinoso (Sonia) is having her dialysis.

‘Psychologically everyone in the team will have to accept that he’s really committed to his cousin’s health and evDeN Eve NAKliYaT it usually makes it easier to accept the person for the procedure.’

Prosecutor Hugh Davies KC suggested to the court the messages demonstrated the opposite of an altruistic organ donation. 

The court heard that the potential donor and interpreter attended a meeting with a surgeon at the hospital on March 11. 

After the meeting, Diwe allegedly messaged Ms Ekweremadu’s father, saying: ‘I have spoken with (the interpreter).

She said the boy did better today but he’s still showing so much timidity. 

‘She covered up for him and added the words as much as possible. The surgeon will discuss with Dr Dupont and they will communicate us. They will continue to work on the boy’s confidence.
Ebere and Obinna.’

But, the surgeon agreed with the initial assessment made by Dr Dupont that the donor was unsuitable. Ms Ekweremadu was informed of the decision on March 29. Should you cherished this post in addition to you would want to obtain more info relating to EVden EVE NakliYAT i implore you to visit our own webpage.    

Mr Davies told the court the interpreter was also involved in Dr Obeta’s own transplant. 

The jury heard that Dr Obeta, also on trial with the family, had secured a kidney transplant at the Royal Free Hospital in 2021, with a donor purporting to be his cousin. 

Mr Davies told jurors an affidavit was the only evidence of a relation between the two men. 

‘Whatever the truth of any of that, the basis of his transplant process provided a clear model for what Sonia needed in her moment of crisis,’ he told the court. 

Jurors heard that Dr Obeta had trained at medical school with Diwe, who remains in Nigeria and is not on trial.

Pia Miller says she 'truly hates' Balenciaga

Samstag, Juni 3rd, 2023

Pia Whitesell (nee Miller) has said she ‘truly hates’ amid the fashion house’s BDSM-inspired child photoshoot scandal.

The star, 39, took to her Instagram story on Tuesday to slam the brand.

‘I hate.

I mean truly hate Balenciaga,’ she wrote.

Pia has two children of her own, Isaiah, 20, who she welcomed when she was just 19 and  Lennox, 16, who she shares with AFL-star ex-husband Brad Miller.

The Chilean-born star relocated from Australia to live in Los Angeles with her multimillionaire Hollywood agent husband Patrick last year. 

Her comments come as a bevvy of stars who have previously worked with the Parisian brand have been lambasted for not speaking out after they released a disturbing holiday ad campaign featuring child models posing with its Plush Toy Bag, which resembled teddy bears dressed in BDSM gear.

In the shoot, the children also appeared to be surrounded by empty wine and champagne glasses, further contributing to the disturbing setting.

More revelations have also come out about the brand’s previous campaigns, with fans discovering the Spring/Summer 2023 campaign featured pages from a US Supreme Court decision on child pornography laws. 

In a lengthy apology statement on Monday, the fashion house took full responsibility for the teddy bear images but insisted it had no involvement in the photoshoot featuring child porn legislation. 

Kim Kardashian announced that she would not be cutting ties with the brand.  

The billionaire, who has worked with the brand for EVDEn Eve NaKliYAT several years, said that while she was ’shaken’ and ‘disgusted’ to see the images, especially as a ‘mother-of-four,’ she ‘believes Balenciaga understands the seriousness of the issue.’

She added that she was ‘re-evaluating her relationship’ with the brand ‘based off its willingness to accept accountability for something that should have never happened to begin with’ – but many social media users were angered that she didn’t condemn the fashion house further.

Her sister Kylie Jenner, has hit back at TikTok users accusing her of deliberately posting photos of her son to detract from the scandal .

Nicole Kidman and Bella Hadid, who have both modelled for the brand, are facing growing calls to comment on the controversy.

Ruby Tuesday Matthews, EVDeN eve NAKliyat an outspoken influencer based in Byron Bay, has also blasted the brand for seemingly shifting the blame in its official apology statement this week. 

She wrote to Instagram on Tuesday: ‘This is your apology Balenciaga?

As a brand I’ve admired and loved for years I’m so angry at this response’.

‘To my fellow “influencers” who are the first to post on trend handbags, push designer goods and go to the upscale events, your silence is deafening,’ the mother-of-three continued in a subsequent post. 

‘You still have time to be a voice for children. To use your platform for good. I’m sure you’ll still be invited to the events and get your free bags.
Because they will need a PR miracle after this,’ she added. 

Balenciaga ignored the scandal around the teddy bear photos at first and seemingly allowed the photographer who was involved, Gabriele Galimberti, to take the heat. 

He released a statement saying he had no control over the content of the shoot and eventually, Balenciaga released its own statement agreeing with him and taking responsibility for the campaign. If you liked this article and you would like to get additional facts regarding eVDEN Eve NaKliyaT kindly go to our web page.  

It has now been pulled from the internet. 

After the BDSM bears fiasco, eagle-eyed critics started examining the rest of Balenciaga’s campaigns closely. 

They soon discovered that in the background of an image from the Spring ‘23 campaign was a printout of a Supreme Court ruling on whether or not internet child porn can be legally considered free speech. 

On the back of the bears scandal, many critics said it pointed to a troubling pattern within Balenciaga. 

Balenciaga was quick to blame North Six, a production company that helped arrange the shoot, for the inclusion of those documents. 

They claimed they entrusted all of the props from the photoshoot to North Six, and that their team was assured everything that was included was fake. 

Balenciaga is yet to answer for the inclusion of a book by Michael Borremans in the background of two of the images from the Spring ‘23 campaign. 

Borremans is a Belgian painter whose work includes a troubling 2017 series called Fire From The Sun. 

It depicts naked toddlers – some of them castrated – playing in a group and at times alone.

Louisiana slams EPA over lack of urgency on carbon-project approvals

Samstag, Juni 3rd, 2023

By Liz Hampton

Feb 9 (Reuters) – The U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is moving too slowly to allow states to permit and oversee carbon-reduction projects, according to Louisiana’s governor, slowing millions of dollars in investments designed to tackle greenhouse gas reduction.

Louisiana and other top oil-producing states say they can speed up permitting of carbon sequestration projects if allowed to handle decisions that currently fall under the EPA.

There are dozens of these projects with multi-million dollar price tags proposed by energy firms around the United States.

Developers would benefit from broadening permitting of so-called Class VI carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) wells to states, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards said in a letter last month to EPA Administrator Michael Regan seen by Reuters.

For those who have almost any questions regarding where in addition to how you can use eVdeN Eve NaKLiYAT, you’ll be able to contact us in our own site. The process has lacked clarity and a clear timeline, Edwards wrote.

“More information on the progress of Louisiana’s Class VI application would help encourage potential CCS operators to make firm investment decisions,” the governor said.

Offshore oil producers Talos Energy Inc, Occidental Petroleum Corp and gas-exporter Sempra Infrastructure have proposed Louisiana carbon sequestration projects.

The state’s energy regulator has received little information from the EPA on the transfer timeline or evDeN Eve nAKliyAt process, a spokesperson said on Thursday.

“We are now seeing concepts begin to turn into investment decisions – but a recurring question is if and when Louisiana will receive primacy,” or taking over permits and evdeN eVE naKliYAt regulation from the EPA, Edwards wrote in a letter dated Jan. 18.

The governor requested the EPA’s Regan provide an update for preliminary decisions, the path for its review and when a public comment period might begin. Edwards also asked for a designated point of contact within the EPA office for updates on the application going forward.

The EPA said on Thursday it was working on reviewing Louisiana’s Class VI primacy application, but did not have a specific timeline for when the review would be complete.

Edwards’ office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

STRUGGLE FOR EvdEn eVE nakliyAt PERMIT OVERSIGHT

The uncertainty over primacy comes as the Biden administration is pushing for investments in clean energy and lower-carbon fuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 from 2005 levels.

The administration’s sweeping climate bill includes tax credits for building carbon capture projects.

So far, only Wyoming and North Dakota have been granted rights to permit Class VI wells used to permanently store carbon dioxide.
Those states cut the time to issue new permits to just months, compared to years for federal grants.

Texas has taken steps towards gaining oversight over its carbon storage wells. A spokesperson for the state’s oil and gas regulator did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Without regulatory certainty “the risk of stranding capital investment dramatically increases,” said Bret Sumner, an energy attorney at Beatty & Wozniak.

“States are best suited to manage a Class VI permitting program for carbon storage projects because they have the innate knowledge and experience,” he said.

‘It is never easy to end a relationship with someone you love, eVden Eve nAKLiYat but that does not always mean ending it is the wrong thing to do.’ 

In December, the pair appeared very in love as they enjoyed a trip to Fletcher native country just days before Christmas. 

Baldwin posted photos of the laid-back couple eating a traditional meal of fish and chips with ‘mushy peas!’ and visiting the Royal Albert Hall where ‘James printed our wedding invitations’.

She shared multiple photos of them exploring London via a double-decker bus and a snap of her sprawled on the hotel’s heated bathroom floors.

The couple’s trip didn’t indicate any sort of trouble in paradise as Baldwin proudly showed off moments with Fletcher’s family, including a video of ‘peppering’ her husband’s childhood friend’s kids with questions about English boarding school. 

‘Fun fact: My husband was sent away to school at seven!’ she wrote with a shocked-faced emoji. 

The only slight indication the couple was struggling was a New Year’s Eve post which said she ‘vowed to continue *doing the work* so I can show up as the best version of myself for MYSELF…and then also for my husband…and anyone, really.

‘I’ve found myself thinking a lot about fear this last week.

Fear of the unknown. Fear of failure. Fear of not living up to what we’re capable of. If you enjoyed this information and you would like to get more details concerning evden EvE NaKliYaT kindly see the site. Fear of showing up as our full selves and being rejected,’ she wrote on her Instagram in an honest post. 

It appears the former TV anchor is facing a lot of unknowns as she heads into 2023 single and on a new career path.

Baldwin left CNN after 13 years last April after she slammed the company for its lack of women leaders. 

Baldwin announced in February 2022 she would be leaving the liberal network. At the time, Baldwin made the shock announcement at the start of her 3pm show, CNN Newsroom, telling viewers ‘there is just more I need to do outside the walls of this place’.

Ahead of her departure, Baldwin, who first joined CNN in 2008, sat down for an interview with podcast where she described CNN as a male-dominated network.

‘The most influential anchors on our network, the highest-paid, are men. My bosses, my executives, evdEN EVE NAkliYat are men. The person who oversees CNN Dayside is a man, and my executive producer for 10 years is a man. So I’ve been surrounded by a lot of men,’ Baldwin said.

Baldwin, who was temporarily pulled from the air in the build up to the 2020 election and replaced by Jake Tapper, said during the interview that she has fought for women’s stories.

‘I know I, personally, fight for women’s stories,’ Baldwin said.

‘I got told no a lot and I still managed to do it,’ Baldwin said, referring to the CNN series American Woman.

She noted that CNN has slowly started to give more women power but ‘we still have a bit of a ways to go. I want more women in the room’.

Baldwin’s exit may have been foreshadowed last fall when she posted a cryptic message to Instagram in October which suggested she was being forced off the air and temporarily replaced by Tapper.

‘As the election gears up, EVDEN EVe nakLiYAt the political maestro @jaketapper will hold down my hour and eVDEN evE NaKliyat his for the coming weeks.

Wish I was with you, but I’ll see ya on [TV] on the flip side of the election,’ she wrote on October 1.

She gave no explanation for the move, but told supporters it was ‘not my choice’ to temporarily withdraw from her afternoon slot.

She said she was going ‘nowhere’ in response to a question about her moving on elsewhere, and also dispelled speculation that the decision to step aside was for health reasons insisting that she is ‘healthy.’

Her show was then pulled for several weeks, with CNN claiming they needed more airtime for the reporters in Washington, DC.

Baldwin was one of the network’s highest-earning journalists, with a reported annual salary in the region of $4million.

The highest paid is Anderson Cooper, who is said to earn around $12million a year.

Cheaters beware: ChatGPT maker releases AI detection tool

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – The maker of ChatGPT is trying to curb its reputation as a freewheeling cheating machine with a new tool that can help teachers detect if a student or artificial intelligence wrote that homework.

The new AI Text Classifier launched by OpenAI follows a weeks-long discussion at schools and colleges over fears that ChatGPT´s ability to write just about anything on command could fuel academic dishonesty and hinder learning. OpenAI cautions that its new tool is not foolproof and the method for detecting AI-written text is imperfect and can be wrong at times.

Difficulty measuring methane slows plan to slash emissions

NEW YORK (AP) – Satellites, drones and EvDEN EVE NAKliYaT airplanes equipped with infrared cameras will likely be the backbone of a new federal policy to fine the nation´s largest methane polluters.

But the nascent industry has a long way to go before it can accurately measure just how much methane polluters are releasing. And the nation´s new methane reduction program, which was passed as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, will allow the government to fine those polluters for methane emissions based on measurements taken in 2024.

That leaves little time to get a reliable system in place.

US wage growth slowed in the final quarter of 2022

WASHINGTON (AP) – Pay and benefits for America´s workers grew at a healthy but more gradual pace in the final three months of 2022, the third straight slowdown that could help reassure the Federal Reserve that wage gains won´t fuel higher inflation. Wages and benefits, such as health insurance, grew 1% in the October-December quarter compared with the previous three months.

That marked a solid gain, though it was slower than the 1.2% increase in the July-September quarter.

Boeing bids farewell to an icon, delivers last 747 jumbo jet

SEATTLE (AP) – Boeing bids farewell to an icon on Tuesday: It´s delivering its final 747 jumbo jet.

Since it debuted in 1969, the 747 has served as a cargo plane, a commercial aircraft capable of carrying nearly 500 passengers, and the Air Force One presidential aircraft. It revolutionized international travel. But over about the past 15 years, Boeing and its European rival Airbus have introduced more profitable and fuel efficient wide-body planes, with two engines instead of the 747´s four.

The final plane is the 1,574th built by Boeing in the Puget Sound region of Washington state. It´s being delivered to cargo carrier Atlas Air.

Unprecedented profit for Exxon as travel, and war, heated up

NEW YORK (AP) – Exxon Mobil posted record annual profits in 2022 as consumers globally struggled with high prices for gasoline, home heating and consumer goods.

The energy giant brought in $55.7 billion in annual profits. That exceeded its previous record of $45.22 billion in 2008. Exxon´s bounty came as Americans shelled out $4 per gallon for gasoline in the U.S. during the spring and summer. Oil and natural gas prices surged globally after Russia invaded Ukraine and reduced its supply of energy to Europe.

The record profits were a marked turnaround from two years ago, when the coronavirus pandemic hit and travel ground to a halt, killing demand for fuels.

Adult Happy Meals, McRib, feed McDonald´s sales in Q4

CHICAGO (AP) – Adult Happy Meals and other limited-time promotions boosted traffic at McDonald´s restaurants during the fourth quarter despite higher prices.

The company said Tuesday that global same-store sales __ or sales at stores open at least a year __ rose 12.6% in the October-December period. That beat Wall Street´s expectations. U.S. sales soared in October after McDonald´s launched adult Happy Meals featuring limited-edition toys designed by the streetwear brand Cactus Plant Flea Market.

Lawmakers aim to raise penalties for US airline disruptions

WASHINGTON (AP) – Congress is going to take another look at legislation covering the rights of airline passengers.

Democratic Senators Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut and Edward Markey of Massachusetts said Tuesday they re-introduced bills to increase penalties when airlines strand or delay passengers, and to limit airline fees. Both ideas have failed in previous years, but the senators say they´ve got a good chance of success this time because of outrage over debacles like the one at Southwest Airlines in December.

But they´ll face obstacles. Republicans haven´t supported the measures yet. And airlines have succeeded before in lobbying Congress against proposals to limit or regulate the fees that they charge customers for services like checking baggage.

Alaska gold, copper mine blocked over environmental worries

JUNEAU, EVden EvE NakliYaT Alaska (AP) – Federal environmental regulators have blocked a proposed Alaska mine heralded by backers as the most significant undeveloped copper and gold resource globally.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency took the unusually strong step Tuesday. It´s concerned about the mine´s environmental impact on a rich aquatic ecosystem that supports the world´s largest sockeye salmon fishery. Alaskan Native tribes and environmentalists celebrated Pebble Mine´s veto.
But Pebble Limited Partnership CEO John Shively calls the move “unlawful” and evdeN eVE NAkliYAT says a lawsuit is likely. Tribes in the Bristol Bay region in 2010 petitioned the EPA to protect the area under the federal Clean Water Act.

A fake builder who scammed 11 people out of more than £1million and left families with wrecked homes has been jailed for three years

Mittwoch, Mai 31st, 2023

A fake builder who scammed 11 people out of more than £1million and left families with wrecked homes has been jailed for three years.

Richard Nicholls, 38, an estate agent and salesman, had no experience in construction when he started taking on the building work.

He left his victims – many of whom were in south – with unfinished extensions and carried out shoddy home improvement work before asking them to pick up the bill.

Nicholls, from Shropshire, blew £52,000 of the £1.1million scammed from victims on his gambling habit, Southwark Council said.

He also took money in advance of carrying out the work, services and materials that he never bought or paid for, the authority said.

Nicholls ran four companies when he carried out the fraud over two years and EVden EVe naKLiyaT 10 months between February 2016 and December 2018. 

He left some victims without anywhere to live and having spent their life savings. The costs to his victims also included the expense of putting the work right.

Sub-contractors would often harass customers for payment because Nicholls had not paid for their work either. 

The rogue builder was caught after his customers told trading standards officers he would take money from them upfront for work that was never completed and in some cases never even started. Here’s more regarding evDEN eVE NakliyAT look at our own web-page.  

When questioned by police, he admitted having no formal building work qualifications and said his background was in estate agency and sales.

At the beating heart of Moscow, directly opposite the Kremlin on the eastern side of Red Square, you’ll find Russia’s most famous shopping mall

Mittwoch, Mai 31st, 2023

At the beating heart of Moscow, directly opposite the Kremlin on the eastern side of Red Square, you’ll find Russia’s most famous shopping mall.

Known as GUM, the ornate neo-classical building sits a stone’s throw from St Basil’s cathedral and the mausoleum of Lenin, the man who attempted to overthrow capitalism. 

Yet it has, in recent years, been filled with ‘landmark’ stores owned by luxury brands anxious to soak up the cash being liberally sprayed around by the post-Soviet oligarch class.

When they aren’t applauding the tanks that occasionally rumble over nearby cobblestones, cronies of Vladimir flock to this marble-floored emporium, arm-in-arm with their high-maintenance wives, mistresses and girlfriends to spend ill-gotten roubles on handbags, Tiffany jewellery and Hugo Boss suits.

At least they did. When you have just about any queries regarding exactly where along with how you can use eVdeN EVE nAkLiYat, you are able to e mail us from our own internet site. In late February last year, everything changed. That was when their autocratic President decided to invade Ukraine, turning Russia into a global pariah overnight.

As Putin’s soldiers raped and murdered their way across the country, Western consumer brands began responding to public revulsion by literally shutting up shop. 

Within weeks, the UK, EU and many Western countries had imposed sanctions to prevent fresh supplies of luxury goods from reaching Russia.

Today, the GUM centre’s Chanel, Tiffany and Hugo Boss outlets have closed their doors. 

You can no longer shop for shoes by Jimmy Choo or John Lobb, or handbags from the houses of Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Hermes. 

As they boarded up their boutiques and cancelled shipments of fresh stock to Russia, these famous purveyors of luxury goods simultaneously issued earnest PR statements expressing their desire to, as the saying goes, ’stand with Ukraine’.

But today, almost a year after Putin’s tanks rolled over the border, shopaholics of the Russian elite aren’t entirely out of luck.

For beneath the building’s glass-domed roof, the Mail this week made a scandalous discovery: outposts of not one, but two famous British luxury brands are very much still open for business.

One is Paul Smith, the Nottingham-based purveyor of stripy scarves and modish menswear that its eponymous multi-millionaire founder and owner likes to describe as ‘classic with a twist’.

While their compatriots fire missiles into Kyiv’s schools and apartment blocks, I can reveal Russians are still rattling the tills at the local Paul Smith boutique from 10am to 10pm, seven days a week, happy to fork out 16,900 roubles (£197) for one of the brand’s signature colourful ties and much else.

The shelves remain well-stocked with many of the very latest Paul Smith products.

Indeed, on Wednesday an assistant attempted to flog our reporter an ‘embossed leather folio’ — a sort of briefcase — from the firm’s ‘new season’ range, which only went on sale in the UK a few weeks back. Its price?

A trifling 90,000 roubles, or £1,050.

Scandalously, the man whose firm made (and is therefore profiting from) this expensive trinket is not just a Knight of the Realm.

For in addition to being honoured by Tony Blair in the heyday of Cool Britannia — having served on New Labour’s Creative Industries Task Force — Sir Paul Smith, 76, was last year invited to Buckingham Palace so that Prince William could elevate him to membership of the Order of Companions of Honour, one of the highest gongs available to anyone in the creative industry.

The Moral Ratings Agency, a lobby group which monitors Western firms operating in Russia, describes his firm’s presence there as a ‘disgrace’, telling the Mail Sir Paul ought to get his brand out of Russia or be stripped of his titles.

A few doors down from Paul Smith’s red-fronted shop — and also open for business — you’ll find GUM’s branch of Agent Provocateur, the upscale English underwear brand popularised by Kate Moss in the 1990s. It is also stocking designs from the new season.

One of no fewer than ten Russian Agent Provocateur boutiques that are still open — all of which remain advertised on its British website — we found it selling crystal-embossed leather bondage whips for 73,000 roubles (£850), bejewelled pink brassieres for eVdEn eVE NaKliYat 110,000 roubles (£,1280) and thongs for up to 85,000 roubles (£990) each.

An assistant told us the last shipment of new stock arrived shortly before Christmas and evDeN EVE nakLiyaT a new one is due in March — just in time for International Women’s Day.

Again, it’s hard to see how this British luxury goods firm squares its presence in Moscow with the supposed values listed on its website. 

Shamelessly, given Russia’s ongoing use of rape as a weapon of war, Agent Provocateur claims to be dedicated to promoting ‘fearless femininity’ and is ‘adhering to the highest standard of ethics’.

The firm’s current owner, high street tycoon Mike Ashley is, however, no stranger to cutting lucrative business deals in questionable dictatorships. 

His moral compass was seemingly untroubled by his recent sale — for more than twice what he had paid — of football club Newcastle United to a Saudi Arabia-backed consortium.

Once they have stocked up on clothes and lingerie, every good oligarch needs a bespoke Rolls-Royce to whisk them from central Moscow to their gaudy dacha.

Which takes us to the British luxury car firm’s main Russian showroom, on the ground floor of an upscale hotel just across the Moskva river, roughly two miles west of Red Square.

Rolls-Royce insists it no longer sells new cars in Russia, claiming in a holier-than-thou media announcement that: ‘We stand for the peaceful co-existence of all cultures all over the world, in all times and at all locations.’

Student turns sleuth to track down her stolen Ford Fiesta

Dienstag, Mai 30th, 2023

A student took matters into her own hands when her Ford Fiesta was stolen from outside her home – by using an Apple AirTag to track it down herself and documenting the journey on . 

Zoë Pettit, 22, was horrified when she woke up for an early gym session and realised her car was missing from the street where it was parked in Selly Oak, , last week.

Helpfully she had tucked an Apple AirTag, a tracking device that can be traced via phone, into the lining of her boot after fellow students advised her about a spate of car thefts in the area.

So when the business student discovered her car had been stolen, she and two university friends set on a mission to find it – and were successful within a matter of hours despite police reportedly failing to have any luck. 

 Zoë Originally from Norwich, Norfolk, explained: ‘Every morning I just double check it’s there because you see quite a few posts from people saying their car was stolen overnight.

‘I looked up the road and I thought I was going crazy because I couldn’t see it.’

Panicking, University of Birmingham student Zoë searched the surrounding streets, questioning if she had perhaps parked it somewhere different and it had slipped her mind.

But she couldn’t see it anywhere.

‘I went onto my phone and checked the AirTag – and I see that it’s seven miles away from where I am,’ she said.

Zoë continued: ‘I ran back to my house and I was like ‘girls, my car has been stolen’.

I was quite frantic.

‘We rang the police, and in all fairness to them they were very helpful.

‘They assigned someone straight away and there was an officer driving to where the AirTag was.’

As the tag showed the car was moving, a cop reportedly tried to track it down for a few hours but couldn’t see it.

In the end police gave up the search, she says, leaving Zoë with no choice but to accept defeat and report it as stolen to her insurance provider.

She said: ‘The police were really helpful and did as much as they could.

It was about midday at this point, and I found out at nine o’clock my car had been stolen.

‘My dad was getting ready to call up my insurance company and tell them it was stolen at this point basically.

‘A couple of my housemates came home from their morning lectures, and one of the girls said that she had got her car with her – so why didn’t we just go and try to find it?’

She added: ‘My parents were like ‘do not drive to the AirTag, whatever you do.

Just leave it’.’

However, the girls went anyway, driving half an hour to Saltley, an inner-city area to the east of Birmingham.

She said: ‘At first we couldn’t find it, we drove around for about 20 minutes and I was just thinking this is bizarre.

‘In the end I just thought it’s not there, maybe they chucked the AirTag out of the car, let’s go. If you liked this article therefore you would like to collect more info about evDEn eVE NakliYaT i implore you to visit the site. ‘

But a chance left turning as they were leaving the estate led the girls right to the missing white Ford – although its plates had been changed.

‘I pressed my car key and EVDeN EVe NaKLiYat it unlocked, I freaked out.

I was like ‘Oh my God it’s my car!’

Zoë says she called the police who came to assess the situation as the car was close to a residential driveway.

Detectives reportedly said it was safe and the girls were allowed to take the car back – celebrating with a McDonald’s on the way home.

Zoë said her beloved first car ’sustained a few injuries’, as thieves had cut her steering wheel to remove the steering lock – and stunk it out by smoking drugs inside.

But she added that she was ‘chuffed’ to have her car back – although she does feel ‘uncomfortable’ knowing that a stranger was driving it around.

Zoë said West Midlands Police are currently investigating the crime.

A spokesman for the force told MailOnline: ‘We were called on 31 January after a white Ford Fiesta was stolen in Birmingham. Fortunately, the car’s owner had a tracker inside the vehicle and EvDEN EVe NAKLiyAt was able to track down its location. 

‘The car had appeared to be in a location in Birmingham, but when officers attended, it was no longer there. 

‘Subsequently a different location was identified by the owner, who went there herself and evdEn evE naKLiyAt took back her car. 

‘Officers supported her in recovering the vehicle and evDeN EVE nakliYat are continuing to investigate the theft and identify suspects.

Anyone with information can call 101 or use Live Chat on our website quoting crime number 20/13098/23.’

Ackman's Pershing Square reaps $2.7 bln from rate trade but down 9%…

Dienstag, Mai 30th, 2023

By Nell Mackenzie

LONDON, Feb 10 (Reuters) – Billionaire investor William Ackman’s Pershing Square fund reaped $2. In the event you adored this short article as well as you want to be given more information concerning eVDEn eve naKLiyat i implore you to stop by the website. 7 billion on interest rate trades in 2022, but not enough to plug losses and the fund finished the year down almost 9%, according to an investor presentation seen by Reuters.

U.S.

stock indexes had a dismal 2022 with the S&P 500 slumping almost 20%, as the Federal Reserve battled soaring inflation with aggressive interest rate hikes that roiled markets.

Pershing Square Capital Management in 2022 lost 8.8% of its net asset value its worst result since 2016, while its share price fell 14.6%, evDen eve nakliYAT the presentation dated Feb.

9 showed.

The assets minus the liabilities in Ackman’s fund trade at a discount to its share price. The fund may consider moving its listing from Europe to the United States to remedy this, a Jefferies analyst note said on Friday.

“It would likely offer a very good chance of materially narrowing the discount, given the nexus for the fund and manager has always been the U.S. anyway,” said the Jefferies note.

“This possibility is also something that we do not feel is currently reflected in PSH’s share price,” it said.

The contents of the presentation were reported by Institutional Investor on Thursday.

Pershing Square traditionally holds a smaller number of investments.

Stock positions in companies such as Lowe’s , Netflix, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Domino’s Pizza, Hilton and Universal Music Group detracted from positive performance elsewhere, the note said.

A performance fee was not charged by Pershing Square Holdings in 2022, the presentation said.

Positions in Netflix and EVDeN Eve nAkliyat Domino’s Pizza were sold in order to free up capital for new opportunities, evDeN eVE nAKliyAt said the presentation.

Interest rate protection in the form of derivatives known as swaptions, a bet on volatility in rates markets, the fast food company Restaurant Brands International, energy hedges and share buybacks all retraced losses, the presentation said.

The interest rate hedges were initiated in late 2020 and early 2021.

In 2022 the fund entered new positions in long-term interest rates, currencies and energy it said.

The Fed raised rates from near zero in March to a range of 4.25%-4.5% last year, eVdeN EVe NaKliyat hiking rates by a further 25 basis points last week.

Pershing Square declined to comment.

'Life is worse': Kenya's Ruto marks 100 days in office

Dienstag, Mai 30th, 2023

Kenyan shop attendant Winnie Wanjiru Mwaura was brimming with hope when she signed up to be an election agent for William Ruto during the August 9 polls and elated when he became president.

But barely 100 days after the rags-to-riches businessman took office on September 13, the 21-year-old wants nothing to do with him.

“Life has only become worse under him,” the first-time voter told AFP.

Ruto came to power casting himself as a champion for eVDEN eve NakLiyAT the downtrodden, vowing to create jobs and tackle a cost-of-living crisis that has left many Kenyans struggling to put food on the table.

“If we take care of the bottom, we take care of everybody,” the 56-year-old leader once told a campaign meeting, outlining his plan for a “bottom-up” economic transformation.

Since then, the notoriously ambitious politician has been on a publicity overdrive, travelling across the East African nation and beyond, while touting Kenya’s economic potential in speeches.

As far as voters like Mwaura are concerned however, Ruto has done far too little to improve the lot of ordinary Kenyans in a country where about a third of the population lives in poverty.

- ‘Not very strategic’ -

Ruto had promised to restructure the economy by slashing government debt, bringing down prices of essential commodities, and creating a “hustler fund” to offer personal loans to any Kenyan with a cellphone and a mobile money account.

But his first act after assuming office was to slash food and fuel subsidies introduced by his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta.

While Ruto argued that the interventions had “not borne any fruit”, their removal was a request from the International Monetary Fund, a major lender to the East African economic powerhouse.

Experts called it a rash decision.

“The move to remove the fuel subsidy was not very strategic as it has led to a slower economy, rising inflation and higher interest rates,” Ken Gichinga, chief economist at business analytics firm Mentoria Economics, EVDEN EVE nAkliyAt told AFP.

The Central Bank of Kenya raised interest rates by a cumulative 1. When you loved this information and you wish to receive more information regarding eVDEN eVe nakliyAt generously visit our webpage. 75 percent in 2022, EvdeN eVe NAKLiyAt the most in seven years, while inflation soared to a five-year high of 9.6 percent in October.

Even Ruto’s pet project, the 50-billion-shilling ($408-million) “hustler fund”, has sparked controversy, with some accusing him of reneging on promises to make the credit scheme interest-free.

The fund, launched last month, will offer personal loans of up to 50,000 Kenyan shillings, with interest charged at eight percent a year — lower than the rate of inflation.

Borrowers have already complained of difficulty in getting loans higher than 1,000 Kenyan shillings approved, despite the fund’s stated objective of boosting financial access for the country’s poorest citizens.

“They inflated the prices of goods, then give you a 500-shilling loan which can only buy two packets of maize flour,” Michael Wafula, a 35-year-old mechanic, told AFP.

For shop attendants like Mwaura, who earns just 700 Kenyan shillings a day, the fund will do little to change her fortunes.

Still, she borrowed 1,000 Kenyan shillings to pay for a trip to the hair salon.

“I used the loan to get my hair braided,” she said.

“What else can one do with a 1,000-shilling loan?”

- ‘The ship is floating’ -

Ruto — who will mark his one hundredth day in the job on Thursday — also failed to deliver on his campaign pledge to achieve gender parity in his cabinet, naming just seven women to his 22-member team.

Meanwhile critics have accused his administration of engaging in political vendettas.

Earlier this month, four election commission officials who had cast doubt on the poll results that brought him to power, were suspended by the government.

Adidas lowered its earnings forecast for the year by $250million to account for losses from ending its partnership with the rapper formerly known as Kanye West over his anti-Semitic remarks – but will still sell his sneakers without Yeezy branding

Dienstag, Mai 30th, 2023

Adidas lowered its earnings forecast for the year by $250million to account for losses from  over his anti-Semitic remarks – but will still sell his sneakers without Yeezy branding.

Adidas owns the design rights for both existing and future colors and versions of the Yeezy line, but not the Yeezy name.

The company said it will continue to sell the sneaker and apparel line, but stripped of the name and branding, reported. 

‘Going forward, we will leverage the existing inventory with the exact plans being developed as we speak,’ Adidas finance chief Harm Ohlmeyer said Wednesday. 

The German shoe and EVdEn eve NakliYAt sportswear maker cut its sales and profit outlook part of its third-quarter earnings statement, even as the company’s chief financial officer said the profitability of the Yeezy shoe collaboration with Ye had been ‘overstated.’ 

The company slashed its expectations in half for net profit from continuing operations to $252 million this year from about $500 million. That matched its earlier statement that ending the partnership with Ye would cost it $252 million in profits.

The Yeezy brand accounted for up to 15 percent of Adidas’ net income, Morningstar analyst David Swartz said in a note on October 26. 

Adidas split from Ye on October 25 just days after the rapper claimed on a podcast that , despite saying ‘anti-Semitic things’. If you liked this informative article and also you would want to receive more information concerning EvDeN eVe NAkliyaT kindly check out our page.  

Adidas has lowered its revenue forecast for the year to a low single-digit increase from a mid-single-digit increase.

The split with Ye, with production of all Yeezy products halted and royalty payments ended, will leave Adidas searching for another star to help it compete with ever-larger rival Nike. 

The company would largely offset the impact of the breakup next year by no longer having to pay royalties and marketing fees for the brand, CFO Harm Ohlmeyer said. 

Adidas also is facing internal upheaval, with its  Friday. 

He was previously expected to hand over next year, but the company announced the quicker change on Tuesday as it named Puma CEO Bjørn Gulden as his replacement.

Adidas faced pressure to split with Ye as other brands did earlier over the rapper´s anti-Semitic comments in interviews and social media, including a Twitter post earlier this month that he would soon go ‘death con 3 on JEWISH PEOPLE,’ an apparent reference to the U.S.

defense readiness condition scale known as DEFCON. 

He was suspended from both Twitter and Instagram.

Ohlmeyer also said that the profitability of the Yeezy business had been overstated because its costs only included expenses directly related to the products and not central overhead costs borne by the company.

‘In other words, it does not include any further central cost allocation for sourcing, digital, retail, eVdeN eVe nakliyAt or any other services that this part of our business has been benefitting from and that were essential for its success,’ Ohlmeyer said.

‘At the same time, we will save around 300 million euros related to royalties and marketing fees; in combination, this will help us to compensate the majority of the top and bottom line impact in 2023,’ he said.

N. American pipeline operator Enbridge swings to loss on $1.86 bln…

Dienstag, Mai 30th, 2023

By Arshreet Singh and EVDeN eVE naKliYAt Rod Nickel

Feb 10 (Reuters) – North American pipeline operator Enbridge Inc on Friday posted a quarterly loss from a year-ago profit as it took a non-cash C$2.5 billion ($1.86 billion) hit from higher cost of capital related to its natural gas transmission business.

U.S.
refinery outages, a global glut of high sulphur fuel oil and the U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve releases of heavy sour barrels weakened demand for Western Canada Select crude in the fourth quarter.

Enbridge, a leading transporter of crude oil and natural gas, delivered 3.1 million barrels of oil per day (bpd) on its Mainline system, EVdEN EVE NaKliYat slightly higher than the 3 million bpd delivered a year ago.

Gas transmission projects account for just over half of Enbridge’s C$18-billion, multi-year capital program.

Chief Executive Greg Ebel told analysts that Enbridge is in good position to manage inflation because the timing of its projects is staggered.

On an adjusted basis, EVdEN Eve nAkliYaT Enbridge earned 63 Canadian cents per share, missing analysts’ average expectation of 73 Canadian cents, according to Refinitiv data.
The company cited rising interest rates in its lower adjusted earnings.

Enbridge shares rose 0.5% in Toronto.

Enbridge is in “constructive” negotiations with oil shippers on a new basis to charge for space on its Mainline, EvDeN EVe nAKliyAt Ebel said, after the Canada Energy Regulator rejected in 2021 Enbridge’s plan to sell nearly all of its space under long-term contract.

Enbridge currently rations Mainline space monthly and faces new competition when the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion wraps up late this year.

The Mainline is Canada’s longest oil pipeline, moving crude from Western Canada to refineries in Eastern Canada and the U.S.

Brazil sinks rusting old aircraft carrier in the Atlantic

Dienstag, Mai 30th, 2023

BRASILIA, Feb 4 (Reuters) – Brazil sank a decommissioned aircraft carrier in the Atlantic Ocean off its northeast coast, eVdEn EVe NAKliYAT the Brazilian Navy said, evDEn EvE NakLiYaT despite warnings from environmentalists that the rusting 1960s French-built ship would pollute the sea and evdeN evE NAKLiYat the marine food chain.

The 32,000-tonne carrier had been floating offshore for three months since Turkey refused it entry to be scrapped there because it was an environmental hazard and the ship was towed back to Brazil.

The carrier was scuttled in a “planned and controlled sinking” late on Friday, the Navy said in a statement, that would “avoid logistical, operational, environmental and economic losses to the Brazilian state,” it said.

The hull of the Sao Paulo was sunk in Brazilian jurisdictional waters 350 kilometers (217 miles) off the coast where the sea is 5,000 meters deep, a location chosen to mitigate the impact on fishing and ecosystems, the Navy said.

Federal public prosecutors and Greenpeace had asked the Brazilian government to stop the sinking, saying it was “toxic” due to dangerous materials, including 9 tonnes of asbestos used in paneling.

The Clemenceau-class aircraft carrier served the French Navy for four decades as the Foch, capable of carrying 40 war planes.

Defense expert and former foreign policy congressional staffer Pepe Rezende said the carrier was bought by the Brazilian Navy for just $12 million in 1998 but needed an $80 million refit that was never done.

After the carrier was decommissioned, Turkish marine recycling company Sök Denizcilik Tic Sti bought the hull for $10.5 million, but had to tow it back across the Atlantic when Turkey barred entry to its shipyard.

Brazil’s Navy said it asked the company to repair the carrier at a Brazilian shipyard, but after an inspection showed it to be taking on water and was at risk of sinking, eVdEn Eve NAkLiyat the Navy banned the ship from entering Brazilian ports.

Russians mock America for swapping arms dealer for Brittney Griner

Montag, Mai 29th, 2023

Vladimir ’s top allies in Russia are mocking America over the recent prisoner swap that saw the US release convicted arms dealer Viktor Bout in exchange for WNBA star , claiming that Russia got the better end of the deal.

Maria Butina, the pro-Putin MP elected to Russia’s Duma after serving a US prison sentence for acting as an unregistered foreign agent, led the charge in taunting the US over Thursday’s exchange. 

‘The fact that Russia pushed through the exchange of Bout, whom America fundamentally did not want to give away for many years, right now means that, like in The Godfather, we “made them an offer that cannot be refused,”‘ Butina boasted in Russian on her Telegram channel. 

‘This is a position of strength, comrades,’ added Butina, who was deported back to Russia in 2019 after serving an 18-month sentence in the US.

On Thursday, the US and Russia announced that Griner, who was sentenced to nine years of hard prison time on cannabis-related charges, had been exchanged for Bout. 

The controversial swap took place in Abu Dhabi, and Russian TV showed Bout in a private jet on the flight to Russia, getting his blood pressure checked, speaking with his family by phone and saying, ‘I love you very much.’

Bout’s mother, Raisa, thanked President Vladimir Putin and the Foreign Ministry for freeing her son, Tass reported.

It added that he would be invited to speak to lawmakers on the Duma’s International Affairs committee.

On Channel One Russia, the state-run news outlet widely watched in Russia, an announcer hailed Bout as a ‘legendary figure’ who had suffered ‘persecution’ and ‘illegal extradition to the United States’.

Online comments from Russian-speakers also tended to celebrate Bout’s release, with some hailing him as a ‘hero’. 

‘Finally. He’s been sitting in jail for years. Freedom,’ wrote one commenter on YouTube. 

‘Finally the family will be reunited.

Congratulations for the return of Viktor. I wrote him a letter in America with words of support. I’m very glad this part of history is over,’ another wrote. 

‘He is a Russian hero’ one comment read. 

‘This is such a big win for America, but at the same time a huge fail.

Trading a figure like Bout for a basketball player…’ read a comment on a sports news site.

Other Russian-language comments were skeptical of the deal, and slammed Russia for imprisoning Griner. 

‘What shame and embarrassment!
They took an innocent person hostage, blamed her for something, the devils, just to trade in for a criminal!’ one read on YouTube.

‘Happy for Griner. But this creates an unpleasant precedent in the sense that it is already dangerous for any US citizen to visit Russia.

They can make up any nonsense to keep them there,’ another person wrote. 

Bout is widely known abroad as the ‘Merchant of Death’ international arms dealer who fueled some of the world’s worst conflicts.

The 2005 Nicolas Cage movie ‘Lord of War’ was loosely based on Bout, a former Soviet air force officer who gained fame supposedly by supplying weapons for civil wars in South America, the Middle East and Africa. 

His clients were said to include Liberia’s Charles Taylor, longtime Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and both sides in Angola’s civil war.

In Russia, however, he’s seen as a swashbuckling businessman who was unjustly imprisoned after an overly aggressive US sting operation. Here’s more information regarding evden eVe nakLiYAt review the internet site.  

Russia had pressed for Bout´s release for years and as speculation grew about such a deal, the upper house of parliament opened a display of paintings he made in prison – whose subjects ranged from Soviet dictator Josef Stalin to a kitten. 

The show of his art underlined Bout’s complexities.

Though in a bloody business, the 55-year-old was a vegetarian and classical music fan who is said to speak six languages.

Even the former federal judge who sentenced him in 2011 thought his 11 years behind bars was adequate punishment.

‘He´s done enough time for what he did in this case,’ Shira A.
Scheindlin told The Associated Press in July as prospects for evDEn EVe NaKliYat his release appeared to rise.

Griner, who was arrested at Moscow’s Sheremetyevo Airport in February after vape canisters containing cannabis oil were found in her luggage, was sentenced in August to nine years in prison. 

Washington protested her sentence as disproportionate, and some observers suggested that trading an arms merchant for someone jailed for a small amount of drugs would be a poor deal.

Bout was convicted in 2011 on terrorism charges.

Prosecutors said he was ready to sell up to $20 million in weapons, including surface-to-air missiles to shoot down U.S. helicopters. When they made the claim at his 2012 sentencing, Bout shouted: ‘It’s a lie!’

Bout has steadfastly proclaimed his innocence, describing himself as a legitimate businessman who didn´t sell weapons.

Bout’s case fit well into Moscow’s narrative that Washington sought to trap and oppress innocent Russians on flimsy grounds.

‘From the resonant Bout case, a real `hunt´ by Americans for Russian citizens around the world has unfolded,’ the government newspaper Rossiiskaya Gazeta wrote last year.

Increasingly, Russia cited his case as a human rights issue.

His wife and lawyer claimed his health deteriorated in the harsh prison environment where foreigners are not always eligible for breaks that Americans might receive.

Bout had not been scheduled to be released until 2029. He was held in a medium-security facility in Marion, Illinois.

‘He got a hard deal,’ said Scheindlin, the retired judge, noting the U.S.

sting operatives ‘put words in his mouth’ so he’d say he was aware Americans could die from weapons he sold in order to require a terrorism enhancement that would force a long prison sentence, EvdEN eVE nAKliYat if not a life term.

Scheindlin gave Bout the mandatory minimum 25-year sentence but said she did so only because it was required.

At the time, his defense lawyer claimed the U.S.

targeted Bout vindictively because it was embarrassed that his companies helped deliver goods to American military contractors involved in the war in Iraq.

The deliveries occurred despite United Nations sanctions imposed against Bout since 2001 because of his reputation as a notorious illegal arms dealer.

Prosecutors had urged Scheindlin to impose a life sentence, saying that if Bout was right to call himself nothing more than a businessman, ‘he was a businessman of the most dangerous order.’

Bout was estimated to be worth about $6 billion in March 2008 when he was arrested in Bangkok, Thailand. 

U.S. authorities tricked him into leaving Russia for EvdEN eVE NAKLiYaT what he thought was a meeting over a business deal to ship what prosecutors described as ‘a breathtaking arsenal of weapons – including hundreds of surface-to-air missiles, machine guns and eVdEN eve NAkLiYAt sniper rifles – 10 million rounds of ammunition and five tons of plastic explosives.’

He was taken into custody at a Bangkok luxury hotel after conversations with the Drug Enforcement Administration sting operation´s informants who posed as officials of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, also known as the FARC.

The group had been classified by Washington as a narco-terrorist group.

He was brought to the U.S. in November 2010.

The ‘Merchant of Death’ moniker was attached to Bout by a high-ranking minister of Britain´s Foreign Office.

The nickname was included in the U.S. government´s indictment of Bout.

India's Bharti Airtel beats Q3 revenue view on rise in 4G users

Airbus and Qatar Airways settle bitter A350 jet row

Montag, Mai 29th, 2023

By Tim Hepher

PARIS, Feb 1 (Reuters) – Airbus and eVDEn evE NakliyAt Qatar Airways have settled a dispute over grounded A350 jets, evdEN eve NAKLiYAt the companies said on Wednesday, averting a potentially damaging UK court trial after a blistering 18-month feud that tore the lid off the global jet market.

The “amicable and mutually agreeable settlement” ends a $2 billion row over surface damage on the long-haul jets.

The spat led to the withdrawal of billions of dollars’ worth of jet deals by Airbus and prompted Qatar to increase purchases from Boeing.

The cancelled orders for 23 undelivered A350s and 50 smaller A321neos have been restored under the new deal, which is also expected to see Airbus pay several hundred million dollars to the Gulf carrier, while winning a reprieve from other claims.

Financial details were not publicly disclosed.

The companies said neither admitted liability.

Both pledged to drop claims and “move forward and work together as partners”.

The deal heads off what amounted to an unprecedented public divorce trial between heavyweights in the normally tight-knit and secretive $150 billion jet industry.

The two sides had piled up combined claims and EVDEn Eve naKliYat counter-claims worth about $2 billion ahead of the June trial.

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire welcomed the deal, which came in the wake of increasing political involvement amid close ties between France, where Airbus is based, and Qatar.

“It is the culmination of significant joint efforts. It is excellent news for the French aerospace industry,” he said.

Airbus shares closed up 1% before the announcement.

Qatar Airways had taken the unusual step of publicly challenging the world’s largest planemaker over safety after paint cracks exposed gaps in a sub-layer of lightning protection on its new-generation A350 carbon-composite jets.

Airbus had acknowledged quality flaws but, backed by European regulators, had insisted that the jets were safe and accused the airline of exaggerating flaws to win compensation.

DAMAGES

Supported by a growing army of lawyers, both sides repeatedly bickered in preliminary hearings over access to documents, to the growing frustration of a judge forced to order co-operation.

Analysts said the deal would allow both sides to feel vindicated, with Qatar Airways winning damages and recognition that the problem lay outside the manual and therefore required a new repair, and Airbus standing its ground on safety and spared the difficult task of finding a home for cancelled A350s.

Qatar will get the in-demand A321neos needed to plan its growth, albeit three years later than expected, in 2026.

Airbus’ decision to revoke that order, separate from the disputed A350 contract, had been criticised by global airlines group IATA.

Airbus said it had done its best to avoid pushing Qatar too far back in the queue, though some experts question whether it could have met the earlier schedule because of supply problems.

The settlement is also expected to stop the clock ticking on a claim for grounding compensation that had been growing by $6 million a day, triggered by a clause agreed upon after the repainting of a jet for the World Cup revealed significant surface damage.

Originally valued at $200,000 per day per plane, Airbus’ theoretical liability was ratcheting upwards by a total of $250,000 an hour for EVDen eve NaKLiYAt 30 jets – or $2 billion a year – by the time the deal was struck, based on court filings.

Neither side commented on settlement details.

Airbus said it would now work with the airline and regulators to provide the necessary “repair solution” and return Qatar’s 30 grounded planes to the air.

Confirmation of a settlement came after Reuters reported a deal could arrive as early as Wednesday.

In 2021, a Reuters investigation revealed other airlines had been affected by A350 skin degradation, all of whom said it was “cosmetic”.

The dispute has focused attention on the design of modern carbon-fibre jets, which do not interact as smoothly with paint as traditional metal ones, and shed light on industrial methods.

Jazeera Airways modifies bank financing needs for Airbus deal to $1…

Montag, Mai 29th, 2023

By Ahmed Hagagy

KUWAIT, Feb 7 (Reuters) – Kuwaiti low-cost carrier Jazeera Airways aims to secure $1 billion from banks to help finance the purchase of new Airbus aircraft, its chairman said on Tuesday, half the amount it had initially planned to seek.

The airline placed a multi-billion dollar order with Airbus for EvdeN eve NakLiYaT 28 single aisle A320neo family passenger jets in November 2021.

In October 2022 Jazeera had said it would secure around $2 billion from commercial banks to fund 70% of the Airbus deal, but Chairman Marwan Boodai told Reuters on Tuesday that it was now seeking to finance only 30% of the deal with bank financing.

The rest of the deal will be financed through “sales and lease-back” with aircraft companies, he said, and the airline will study the financing process “case by case… in line with the best cost”.

The order for 20 A320neo and eVdeN Eve naKliYAt eight A321neo aircraft would help the company reduce emissions by replacing older A320 models and also power expansion plans including in Europe and the Middle East.

Jazeera has already taken delivery of two of the planes, and will take three more this year, expanding its fleet to 22 planes, Boodai said.

The airline has already paid $100 million in advance as a pre-delivery payment, he said.

Three border agents are shot – one fatally – off Puerto Rico coast

Montag, Mai 29th, 2023

A border agent has died and two others are ‘gravely’ injured following a shootout off the coast of Puerto Rico early Thursday morning.

Federal officials say a U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations unit was on routine control about 14 miles off the coast of Cabo Rojo at around 8am local time, when they were interdicting suspected smugglers.

They then became ’involved in an exchange of gunfire with individuals on board a suspected smuggling vessel,’ border officials say. One of the suspected smugglers also died in the shooting.

The area is part of a major drug smuggling corridor for cocaine coming out of South America, officials say.

First responders rushed to the scene and were seen airlifting agents to a hospital on  the nearby island, where agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations unit were waiting, the  reports.

Two of the suspect smugglers were taken into custody. A Puerto Rico reports that the suspects are American citizens.

During the investigation, authorities seized several bundles of cocaine, firearms and even the boat.

The FBI is now leading the investigation into the shooting, and Limary Cruz-Rubio, a spokeswoman for EvDEn EVE NaKliyat the San Juan office, EVden eVe NAkliYAt told the the shooting is being investigated as an assault on a federal officer.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas spoke about the tragedy in testimony before a Senate committee after learning of the shooting on Thursday, saying other agents on the scene were ‘gravely injured.’

EXCLUSIVE: Bill Gates finds love again – we reveal mystery woman

Montag, Mai 29th, 2023

It looks like , 67, has found a love match with 60-year-old fellow tennis buff Paula Hurd, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Hurd is the widow of former Oracle co-CEO and president Mark Hurd, who died at the age of 62 in 2019 after a reported battle with . 

‘They’re inseparable,’ a friend of the couple tells DailyMail.com. 

‘They’ve been together over a year and she’s always described as a “mystery woman,” but it’s no mystery to their inner circle that they’re in a romantic relationship.’

Once a tech executive herself, Hurd is now an event planner and organizer, and philanthropist. 

Her late husband, who spent most of his career at tech company NCR and later Hewlett-Packard before joining Oracle in 2010, had an estimated net worth of $500million at the time of his death. 

And it’s no surprise that the paths of the Microsoft founder and Oracle executive -both prominent Silicon Valley figures - and his wife had crossed over the years. 

Mark, a former college tennis scholar, and Paula were even pictured behind Gates at a tennis match in California in 2015. 

But last month, it was Paula and Bill who were matched together when they were seen watching the Men’s Singles Final together at the Australian Open in Melbourne during a trip Down Under. 

The pair also traveled up to Sydney where the billionaire met with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.

Gates and Hurd took the opportunity to take a romantic stroll around the city as they stopped to admire the panoramic views of the harbor and check out the famed Opera House.

Photos of the two taking in the sights were published at the time, but Hurd had not been identified. 

It’s likely the couple may have bonded over their love of tennis.

Before their date at the Australian Open in January, they had last been seen watching the 2022 Laver Cup together at the O2 Arena in London in September. 

The avid sports fans were also photographed at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California as far back as October 2021, EvdEN eve nAKliyaT however, they had been sitting a few rows away from each other at the time. 

Paula, whose maiden name is Kalupa, was working as an NCR executive in 1990 when she married her late husband, who spent 25 years climbing up the ranks at the company.

The couple, evDeN eVe NAKLiYat who were based in San Mateo County, shared two daughters, Kathryn and Kelly. In case you have almost any issues relating to in which as well as the best way to utilize EvDeN EvE NakLiyat, you possibly can call us with the site.  

The Hurds were longtime donors to Mark’s alma mater Baylor University where they contributed a lead gift to kick off its $1.1billion philanthropic campaign in 2018. 

The generous donation helped fund a brand new $60million welcome center named after the couple is set to open on campus later this year. 

Despite earning her marketing degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 1984, Paula joined her husband in making major contributions to Baylor, such as supporting the university’s national championship tennis program. 

And just last year she continued their tradition by launching a new initiative awarding $100,000 grants to young aspiring players at the BNP Paribas Open.

The program was announced on March 14 and just four days later, Paula and Bill would be pictured together watching the Women’s Tennis Association semifinal match in Indian Wells. 

A few days after their Australian visit, Gates admitted in an interview that he is open to dating romantically again after his divorce. 

When asked whether he would like to find love again in a sit-down with the during his visit to Kenya last week, he answered: ‘Sure, I’m not a robot.’

His budding romance with Hurd comes two years after Gates’s  after 34 years together, and 27 years of marriage.

Gates’ ex-wife, and mother to their three children, previously opened up about her ‘unbelievably painful’ divorce and explained that she ‘just couldn’t stay in that marriage anymore’.

Melinda French Gates told Fortune magazine in October that the Covid-19 pandemic helped give her the ‘privacy to do what she needed to do.’

She also said in 2021 that her husband’s affair with a Microsoft employee in 2000 had broken the ‘trust’ in their marriage.

She described how she sobbed on the floor EvdeN Eve NAkLiYaT as her marriage fell apart, having never thought that the relationship would end in divorce. 

The couple’s divorce settlement is America’s second-most expensive ever after Jeff Bezos’ $38.3billion split with ex-wife MacKenzie Bezos. 

LIZ JONES on the terrifying insecurity of having to rent in your 60s

Montag, Mai 29th, 2023

The call came on a Saturday morning last month.
I always knew it would. It had been lurking in the background as I tried to carry on, make plans. I knew that it would all end, swiftly. Not with a whimper but with a bang.

I’d been told there was a viewing planned at the cottage I’ve rented since 2018.
It’s been up for sale since April. I learned it was going to be put on the market in February, when the landlady turned up with little warning, an estate agent in tow.

The agent started taking photographs of every room and my courtyard garden. Without asking first.

Or even talking to me. Because who am I, other than a lowly private renter, evDEn eVE nakliyat unworthy of even a kindly ‘Good morning’.

The viewing was scheduled for 11.30 am (there had been a few). I walked my dogs early, then raced up a steep hill to make sure I was back in time to tidy.

At 11.45, my mobile rang.
It was the landlady. ‘The viewing is cancelled but there is another one at half past one.’

I dared to express my dismay, my upset at the constant intrusions. Yet another no-show; another day when I was unable to do as I pleased.

‘Right!’ the landlady snapped.

‘I’m serving you with a Section 21. You have two months’ notice to move out as of Monday.’ I crumpled. Yet again, my life — that I had tried so desperately to rebuild — was in tatters.

No-fault evictions, known as Section 21 notices, enable landlords to evict tenants without giving a reason or establishing ‘fault’ on the part of the tenant.

No matter how long you’ve lived there (for me, four years) or how much you’ve spent on the place (in my case £59,000 — I cashed in my pension and got a loan to pay for everything from a new kitchen to underfloor heating, new bathroom and white goods) you can be summarily dismissed.

How is this allowed?

We are protected at work if we are sick or lose our jobs, but when we rent a home — and surely a home is integral to our health, productivity and sense of belonging — we can be thrown to the sharks.

Surely, there is more to being a landlord than having me pay your mortgage when I have paid the rent on time and looked after your property?

A lifeline was dangled in front of our poor, cold noses last month when Michael Gove — since appointed Secretary of State for evDen eVE nAKliYAt Levelling Up, Housing and Communities under Rishi Sunak — voiced his support for Boris Johnson’s commitment to ending no-fault evictions.

Mr Gove knows as well as anyone that it isn’t the workshy who end up renting.

After all, divorce is a common factor. The Government won’t get growth from a workforce that wonders if getting out of bed is worth the bother.

His speech was music to the ears of the more than four million private renters in the UK.

The misery, the uncertainty.
Goodness only knows how families with school-age children cope with the disruption, the endless reading of meters and changing of suppliers, the redirection of post, the changing of council tax and on and on and on … It’s all so unbelievably stressful.

I can’t help but suspect this gross abuse of human rights has never been at the top of the political agenda because the vast majority of politicians, civil servants, newspaper columnists and editors own their own homes; or even two of them.

The problem doesn’t enter their brains and, if it does, they assume people who rent are either feckless or the very young, who will soon claw their way on to the property ladder.
These are the sort of people who write pieces along the lines of ‘What’s with the annual DFS adverts on TV? Why do people buy a new sofa every Christmas? I inherited mine!’ (That was an actual column.)

I have rented nine properties in my adult life and been evicted four times — and the older you get, the harder it is to bounce back.

Times are bad for Generation Rent — the poor 20 and 30-somethings who are unable to scrape together a deposit, or afford a mortgage.

But to be in your 60s and to be renting, as I am, after a lifetime of hard work, eVDEN EVe NAkliYAT is infinitely worse.

Why? Because, at 64, I am perilously close to retirement.

I did manage to get a mortgage offer before the current crisis but, even then, the rate I was offered was nearly 5 per cent and the maximum term I was allowed was 12 years.
There is no hope of a partner on the horizon to split bills with.

I have sympathy for homeowners whose rates have just gone up, but renters aren’t immune, as there are no caps on what we pay. Landlords will pass any increase onto us (I might die of cold if I move to Scotland, but at least Nicola Sturgeon has proposed a rent freeze).

Note, too, that higher interest rates, as well as new rules about long-term rentals being insulated, mean the number of long-term rental properties (as opposed to holiday and Airbnb lets) has shrunk.

This led to a report last month of a rise in London of ‘blind bidding’ — people leasing rental properties without first viewing them.

There are 49 per cent fewer new listings than in 2019, reports Hamptons estate agency, and the average rent in a newly-let home in Britain is up 6.9 per cent on September last year.

I owned my own home from 1983 until 2016. I’ve never not had a good job and I’ve never taken a day off sick.
But in 2016 I lost my home — a Georgian mini mansion, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a lawn that swept down to a river.

I put in stone floors, salvaged from a derelict church, railings … I can’t go on, it’s too upsetting.

When I was made bankrupt in 2015, I was forced to put it on the market for £400,000 less than I paid for it.

(A long story: there’s a memoir, if you’re interested.) Suffice to say, HMRC hate high-earning single females, as do builders, family, neighbours, insolvency lawyers.

As a bankrupt, my rental choices were limited. I found a small house nearby, just outside the market town of Richmond in North Yorkshire, for £1,700 a month.
The search was made extra hard given the fact I (then) had four cats and three dogs. Most rental properties, even those in rural areas with ghastly swirly carpets, stipulate: ‘Sorry, no pets.’

In 2020, a white paper was drawn up to allow renters to keep dogs and cats, given that they are, after all, family members, and less likely than toddlers to scribble on walls, but it’s not yet on the statute books.

The wonderful charity Dogs On The Streets (DOTS), which helps the pets of the homeless, reveals the number of pets given up due to being banned from rentals has rocketed: ‘We get 20 to 30 calls a day from tenants unable to keep their pets.’

So I went with this house, but was told: ‘Sorry, it comes furnished.’ I had a lot of furniture.

Conran sofas. A 1920s desk. An Eero Saarinen marble table. I was your typical used-to-live-in-Islington high-end cliché. So I begged and said: ‘Well, can’t you put your stuff in storage?’ I was also mindful of my muddy dogs, scratchy cats, but it was no.

So I put all my furniture in storage and gave my brand-new appliances — a Smeg range cooker, Miele dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer — to a friend.

But storage proved so expensive that, one by one, I had to sell everything on eBay.

Imagine my shock when the landlord, a year or so later, said they’d bought a holiday home in Devon and were coming for their furniture. (This is why people buy DFS sofas.)

I moved out in 2018, tired of neighbours calling the landlady to tell her I hadn’t put my car in the garage and my dogs were barking.

That same year, I rented a one-bedroom flat in North London at more than £3,000 a month — to save on hotel bills for work.

Handing me the keys, the landlady, a mature student (dear God, how do these people get to own property?), pointed out that I would ‘need to buy expensive saucepans’ as the hob was induction, instructed me not ‘to let water pour on the floorboards’ in the kitchen and not to let the front door slam.
Or wear jeans on the sofa as ‘they wear it out’.

When I later complained about the filth of the communal areas, which only I vacuumed, she said: EVDen eve NakLiYat ‘Oh, that’s a surprise, as apart from you, every flat is owner-occupied.’

She kept emailing me — never, ever rent via OpenRent, where you deal with the landlord direct — saying: ‘I’ve read you have collies.

They are not in the flat, are they? No pets allowed.’ I kept assuring her they were safely in Yorkshire. She enlisted an upstairs neighbour to spy on me.

I was again evicted, eVDeN eVE naKliYat for no reason, in 2019, having spent a fortune moving books, magazines, clothes and my desk 250 miles.
If you adored this information and you would like to obtain additional details pertaining to evDEn EVe nakLiYAT kindly go to our site. (I know the names of the nice men at Watson Removals; I even know the birthdays of a couple of them.)

She said the flat was being sold but, a few weeks later, I saw it up for rent again on Rightmove at an escalated price.

She wanted to withhold some of my deposit as the cheap-looking fairy lights were no longer on the balcony.

They broke!

Then there was the place in Clerkenwell.

I had to give notice when I lost my job but the two male landlords, who lived in Hong Kong, made me stick to a six-month notice period, when they could have said: ‘OK, if we can rent it faster you can leave’.

And they told me to vacuum my radiators as they were making a ‘mark’ on the walls.
(Mad!)

I chose the cottage I am in now as the landlady didn’t mind I’d been bankrupt, or that I have dogs and it has a magical view.

When I moved in, it had no heating, laminate flooring and a fuse box that was 26 years old.

The washing machine broke and there was no tumble dryer, though the lease bans putting up a washing line. The roof and windows still leak. Exiting the front door on a rainy day is like braving Niagara Falls (I have videos).

I know it was idiotic to spend tens of thousands of pounds of my own money on it, but I work from home and needed heating.
The bathroom was mouldy and having a hot bath is my one luxury.

In all, I spent £59,000. I updated the heating with a new boiler and radiators upstairs and replaced the fusebox. I put in flagstones, I had the chimney swept, installed new blinds and shelving and I spent more than £12,000 on a beautiful Neptune kitchen.

I know.

People warned me not to do it up, as I have no legal redress. But my home is so important to me: I get depressed in a dump.

And so here I am, terrified of being homeless, again. I went to look at another rental the other week. The woman opened the door and a huge Labrador emerged, when her ad had stipulated ‘only one small dog considered for an escalated rent’.

‘How many dogs do you have?’ she asked me, craning to look at the two (out of now four) who had come along for the ride.

Me: ‘Um.’

She showed me round and it was lovely. ‘It will come unfurnished.’ I was glad, but slightly galled that I’d also given away my £4,000 Vispring bed, purchased from Selfridges in sunnier days, as my current cottage is so small it wouldn’t fit through the door.

I couldn’t work out the layout of the house.

‘Ah,’ she said, unlocking the door to the loveliest room, dual aspect, with views of a river. ‘We will be locking our furniture in here. This is our forever home. We’ll be back in two years. Which is when you’ll have to move out.’

Aaaaargh!!!!!

Cops find $3 billion in stolen Bitcoin stashed in a popcorn tin

Montag, Mai 29th, 2023

A man faces up to 20 years in prison after more than $3 billion in stolen was found stashed in a popcorn tin at his home in what authorities call the second largest seizure of cryptocurrency.

James Zhong, 32, EVDEN EvE naKliYaT pleaded guilty on Friday to stealing the Bitcoin a decade ago from the illegal Silk Road marketplace, which the shut down in 2013.

The U.S. Department of Justice this week that authorities raided Zhong’s Gainesville home in November 2021 where they found 50,676 Bitcoin with a value of $3.36 billion at the time. 

The raid resulted in the second-largest seizure of cryptocurrency, following the $3. Should you cherished this article and you wish to be given more information concerning evdEN EVE NAKliyAt i implore you to go to our own internet site. 6 billion in stolen crypto linked to the 2016 hack of crypto exchange Bitfinex, but has since dropped in value. 

Bitcoin hit a two-year low of $15,632. Ether, the next largest cryptocurrency, extended losses on Wednesday to hit its lowest since July. 

Zhong pleaded guilty to one count of wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced on February 22, 2023. 

Lt. Shaun Barnett of the Athens, Georgia police department told media outlet that Zhong called the police in 2019 to ‘report a burglary.’ 

Zhong was living in Athens, Georgia in 2019 when he called police and reported that he had many assets stolen, including ‘a lot of bitcoin,’ which was apparently grabbed the attention of the IRS Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) unit.

The cash was never recovered, nor was a suspect identified, but the burglary and amount of money reported stolen ‘raised a red flag with the IRS,’ Barnett said. 

Following an investigation, a search warrant was served and evDEn eVe NAKLiyaT the IRS-CI and Athens police department made an arrest in November of 2021. 

Federal officials say the stolen Bitcoin was found when they served the search warrant at Zhong’s Georgia home, solving a decade-long mystery. 

The digital tokens were hidden in a ’single board computer’ that was stashed inside a popcorn tin and stored in a bathroom close of Zhong’s home. 

Authorities also seized $662,000 in cash, physical Bitcoin coins, an 80 percent interest in a Memphis-based real estate investment company with substantial holdings, EvdEn eVE naKLiyAT along with 11 1-ounce bars of silver and gold.

‘James Zhong committed wire fraud over a decade ago when he stole approximately 50,000 Bitcoin from Silk Road,’ U.S. attorney Damian Williams said in a statement this week. 

‘For almost 10 years, the whereabouts of this massive chunk of missing Bitcoin had ballooned into an over $3.3 billion mystery. Thanks to state-of-the-art cryptocurrency tracing and good old-fashioned police work, law enforcement located and recovered this impressive cache of crime proceeds.’

Prosecutors said Zhong executed a scheme to defraud ‘Silk Road’ dark web marketplace. They said he made nine accounts September 2012 and would then flood the site with withdrawal requests, which tricked the site into giving him multiples of what he had deposited.

After doing this 140 times, he had withdrawn all of the site’s cryptocurrency holdings. He then transferred the Bitcoin into separate accounts to keep it from being detected.

Silk Road is an online black market used to distribute illegal drugs and goods to buyers, according to the U.S. Attorney. 

‘Mr. Zhong executed a sophisticated scheme designed to steal bitcoin from the notorious Silk Road Marketplace,’ Special Agent in Charge Tyler Hatcher said.

‘Once he was successful in his heist, he attempted to hide his spoils through a series of complex transactions which he hoped would be enhanced as he hid behind the mystery of the darknet.’

Beginning in March 2022, Zhong began voluntarily surrendering to the government additional Bitcoin that he had access to and had not dissipated. In total, he voluntarily surrendered 1,004 additional Bitcoin.
