The Angel of the Crows by Katherine Addison, Tor Books, June 2020, $27.99.

In an alternate 1880s London, angels inhabit every public building, and vampires and werewolves walk the streets with human beings in a well-regulated truce. A fantastic utopia, except for a few things: Angels can Fall, and that Fall is like a nuclear bomb in both the physical and metaphysical worlds. And human beings remain human, with all their kindness and greed and passions and murderous intent. Jack the Ripper stalks the streets of this London, too. But this London has an Angel. The Angel of the Crows.

Katherine Addison, author of The Goblin Emperor, delights fans with a new and imaginative retelling of Sherlock Holmes. The story is similar, but far different, from the popular stories you may know. Although many names and details have been changed (Dr. Watson is now Dr. Doyle, etc.), I enjoyed spotting all of the little nods to the original.

I found it fairly easy to follow some of the more fantastical rules of the setting, explained through the straight forward view of Dr. Doyle. One of my favorite parts was how Addison portrayed Crow (Sherlock) as an enthusiastic purveyor of mysteries whose social ineptness comes from being an angel and not a person instead of just being an arrogant and insufferable human being.

Although at times I felt like some things were glossed over, as will happen when you include several cases in one novel, on the whole I enjoyed The Angel of the Crows as a fun change of pace that subverted my expectations.

Catholic police chief helped Camden disband its force, reduce crime – CatholicPhilly.com

Posted on by

By Peter Feuerherd Catholic News Service Posted July 13, 2020

NEW YORK (CNS) In 2013, as police chief of Camden, New Jersey, J. Scott Thomson gave Camden Bishop Dennis J. Sullivan a tour of the city.

That was when Camden was experiencing homicides at a higher rate than Honduras, then known as the murder capital of the world. Camden was competing for the crime capital of America and, by most accounts, was a winner of the dubious title.

Bishop Sullivan reached into his pocket and presented the chief with a rosary blessed by the pope.

You will need this more than I will, Thomson remembers the bishop saying.

Thomson left the Camden force last year and is now an executive fellow with the National Police Foundation and director of security for Holtec International, a supplier of equipment for energy companies.

Amid nationwide protests over the death of George Floyd, which has prompted many to call for a defunding of police, Thompson shared the story of a turnaround in the Camden police force with the National Catholic Reporter, a national newspaper based in Kansas City, Missouri.

Camden went further than defunding police. In 2013, it disbanded its entire force, which had a reputation for corruption, brutality and high absenteeism. The city force was fired, replaced by a county-run operation led by Thomson, a Camden native who was the chief of the old city force. He was joined by about half of the former force who were rehired and supplemented by new recruits. The old police union contract was thrown out.

Because of budget cuts, some 46% of the force had been disbanded in a single day in 2011. Radical action to create a new force, agreed to by local Democratic politicians and New Jerseys then-Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican, didnt materialize immediately. Far from it.

In 2012, Camden hit its nadir, with a murder rate more than 18 times the U.S. average, Thomson wrote in a recent op-ed in The Washington Post daily newspaper. The city had more murders than the states of Hawaii, North Dakota, South Dakota, New Hampshire and Wyoming combined, he noted, citing FBI statistics.

The next year, the chief of the new, embattled force gave new recruits a speech.

You will have an identity that will be more Peace Corps than Special Forces, he said. Recruits attracted to the job by the opportunity to crack heads or bully others would be fired immediately, he told them.

Today, Thomson is a frequently sought-after interview subject to recount the Camden police changes, called on for more than 300 interviews from around the world, including The New York Times, National Public Radio and media outlets as far away as China and New Zealand.

He cautions that the Camden story is not a miracle, but the result of a conscious change in policing strategy intended to make the police more visible while enlisting the support of the embattled citizenry.

For every action, theres a reaction, he told NCR in a recent interview, careful not to overstate Camdens story. Nobody is saying that Camden is a utopia or that the Police Department is without sin. Its not a success. Its progress.

Camden still has a story to tell to a nation torn apart by issues of crime and police violence. Effective crime fighting, said Thomson, involves both community support and police presence. He told his cops to get out into the streets, play ball with the kids, get to know the neighborhoods. Broadway, one of the citys main thoroughfares, was flooded with police, and the most blatant forms of open-air daylight drug dealing were pushed underground.

Meanwhile, the police instituted ice cream trucks and block parties and officers made a point of knocking on doors to introduce themselves.

We pivoted. There are moments to celebrate, said Thomson.

The count of 67 murders in 2012 a figure memorialized at Camdens Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in an annual year-end vigil dropped to 25 last year, according to the Uniform Crime Reports of the New Jersey State Police.

The results are seen not only in the numbers but in the vibe of the city, which is 94% racial minority with more than a third of households living in poverty, according to Data USA.

People in Camden didnt want to eliminate police, they wanted to change them. What they wanted was not fewer police, but they wanted us to behave differently, Thompson said.

The newly formed Camden police were told not to focus on arrests or tickets. Instead, they were asked to be a visible presence in the neighborhoods.

Thomson said the approach reinforced the presence of people in the community who were more willing to venture out into the streets. In turn, they became the eyes and ears of the police, willing to talk to officers they knew.

Gone were massive dragnets of young men when a violent incident occurred, actions that often generated resentment and standoffishness toward the authorities.

Thomson described it as fishing with a spear rather than a net. Murders in Camden were once resolved at a 16% rate, he said, and they now are resolved over 60% of the time. The people were telling us things. That made us much smarter.

Much of the drug trade was moved underground. For Thomson, curbing the open-air drug dealing may be the most police can be expected to achieve.

A visit from President Barack Obama in 2015 highlighted Camdens successes. Now there is massive international media attention, attracted by the hope that the citys police have unlocked the key to curtailing crime while earning the communitys respect.

Amid all this attention, Thomson said he keeps in mind the role of his Catholic faith. Police work, he said, is his vocation, a helping profession. When he worked for the police department, he often consulted with chaplain Msgr. Michael Mannion.

The spirituality aspect of the work was extremely important to keep a reminder of why you do what you do every day, he said.

Thomson combined community policing with his own faith, once acting as a godfather for a Camden boy blinded after a shootout between drug dealers.

He is the product of Catholic schools from elementary school to college and said his faith is an essential part of his police vocation.

The work is stressful, he said, adding: You fail more than you succeed. When you see little kids murdered, it will take a toll on you if you dont have a strong faith to rely on.

A national police study he contributed to included a main principle right out of Catholic social teaching on the sanctity of human life, he said.

Msgr. Michael Doyle, the longtime pastor of Sacred Heart Church in Camden, is proud to note that the former chief still has a picture of his kindergarten graduation at the parish school, a picture the two reenacted 40 years later.

The priest came to Sacred Heart in 1968, an era when he was active in civil rights and anti-war efforts. He listened as Robert Kennedy campaigned there in part to highlight the plight of troubled urban centers. Msgr. Doyle has been identified with Camden ever since being profiled for his ministry for an early edition of televisions 60 Minutes.

Thomson offered a breath of fresh air to the city, said Msgr. Doyle. He changed the whole tone of police behavior, he said, noting that Camden police began creating an ethos of respect for others that helped cut the citys crime rate.

For Thomson, the proof of success is in the small things. Parents being able to sit on the stoops of their houses watching their children play, is a big victory. And the fact that Camden has remained relatively calm during the current period of unrest is also testimony to improved police-community relations.

No one would say that battered Camden is a verdant utopia. Thomson keeps his papal rosary handy. But change is worth celebrating, he said.

My month in the garden: it’s time to think about plant protection and a good supply of veg for winter – Telegraph.co.uk

Posted on by

Late last summer, I took my mother, who was sadly in the last stages of a terminal illness, to The Pig Hotel, near Bath. We had both wanted to see their gardens. We ate al fresco, enjoying magnificent views on a fabulously sunny day. The place waspacked.

The head gardener kindly took us on a tour of the gardens, which thankfully are wheelchair-friendly. The magnificent walled kitchen garden was brimming with a good range of vegetables and in a small greenhouse I spied a 3m tall herb with small scented white flowers. The gardener did not know what it was but said it made a highly popular, most flavoursome herbal tea, similar to the better known Aloysia triphylla (lemon verbena) butfar superior. She kindly let me have some cuttings, which rooted fairly quickly.

I finally managed to track down its correct name, with the help of the renowned botanist, Jamie Compton. It is Aloysia polystachya, from Argentina, widely grown there to make T de Burro, or donkeys tea. In Argentina it is well known for its antidepressant and relaxing qualities, perhaps the perfect lockdown tea? No wonder there was so much bonhomie that day! It appears hardy to -7C (19F), but Ill keep some inside over winter just in case. Jekkas now sells this (jekkas.com).

I always enjoy going back to visit gardens we have worked on, and last week it was a real treat to visit MaryBerry in her new garden. Westarted to help Mary with the designin early2017, when she had herprevious, much larger garden at what had been the family home for many years.

I spent a day with her and husband Paul and sketched out possibilities. Mary and Paul have now been bedded down in their new garden for about a year. Everyone I work with who downsizes and leaves a garden that they have developed and cherished for years, always takes on their new plot with relish. I think the idea of refining all your gardening knowledge and ideas into a new Utopia must be hugely satisfying, and Mary is noexception.

Twitter hack hits Elon Musk, Obama, Kanye West, Bill Gates and more in Bitcoin scam – CNET

Posted on by

The Bitcoin scam as it appeared on Elon Musk's Twitter feed.

Bitcoin scammers targeted the Twitter accounts of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Kanye West, Barack Obama and other famous tech executives, entertainers and politicians on Wednesday in what appears to be a large-scale hack. Apple, Uber and other businesses were also caught up in the sprawling hack, which Twitter later attributed to a social engineering attack on its employees.

Twitter accounts with millions of followers seemed to have been compromised, raising concerns about whether the company is doing enough to protect the security of its users. While cryptocurrency scams aren't a new problem for Twitter, the size of Wednesday's attack is unusual.

Stay in the know. Get the latest tech stories from CNET News every weekday.

"I'm feeling generous because of Covid-19," a now-deleted tweet from Musk's account reads. "I'll double any BTC payment sent to my BTC address for the next hour. Good luck, and stay safe out there!"

Similar tweets were sent through the Twitter account belonging to Gates, the billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder. "I am doubling all payments sent to my BTC address for the next 30 minutes. You send $1,000, I send you back $2,000," the tweet, which was deleted, read.

This is the scam tweet sent from Bill Gates' account. (The Bitcoin address has been removed from this screenshot.)

The scam tweets would periodically vanish, only to reappear minutes later.

A spokesperson for Gates confirmed the tweet wasn't sent by the billionaire.

"We can confirm that this tweet was not sent by Bill Gates. This appears to be part of a larger issue that Twitter is facing. Twitter is aware and working to restore the account," the spokesperson said in a statement.

Obama's account tweeted a message similar to the one shared by the Musk and Gates accounts. In a tweet sent to his 120 million followers, Obama's account tweeted that the former president was giving back because of the novel coronavirus and that he would double all bitcoins sent to his address for the next 30 minutes.

It wasn't immediately clear how the hack was conducted or how many accounts were impacted, although Twitter did provide an update late Wednesday, indicating that while its investigation into the hack was ongoing, the company had determined it to be the result of a "coordinated social engineering attack."

"We detected what we believe to be a coordinated social engineering attack by people who successfully targeted some of our employees with access to internal systems and tools," Twitter said in a tweet. (For tips on how to secure your Twitter account, see this CNET story.)

But for the hack's first two hours, Twitter didn't have a handle on the incident. In a tweet, the company said some users might not be able to tweet or reset their password as they reviewed and tackled the problem. Twitter also began removing tweets of screenshots showing internal tools that were possibly used in the attack.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted Wednesday evening that it was "a tough day for us at Twitter" and promised to share the company's findings when it completed its diagnosis of the hack.

Some users who tried to tweet got an error message, saying this appeared to apply only to verified users with "blue checks."

"This request looks like it might be automated. To protect our users from spam and other malicious activity, we can't complete this action now. Please try again later," the message read. Twitter didn't respond to questions about whether only verified accounts couldn't tweet.

Twitter has now removed this restriction. Users with verified accounts are now able to tweet again, but Twitter Support stated that functionality may "come and go."

"We're working to get things back to normal as quickly as possible," the tweet read.

The scam tweets end with a link pointing to where unsuspecting readers can send bitcoin. As of Wednesday afternoon, a spot check of the BTC address from the tweets shows a total received of 12.30776555 BTC, or roughly $113,572.

The Wednesday hack isn't the first time that Twitter accounts have been compromised by scammers. In 2018, hackerstook control of the verified Twitter accounts of Target and Google's G Suite. In that attack, hackers exploited a third-party marketing service, not its own system, according to the company.

Even Dorsey hasn't been immune from hacking. In 2019, Dorsey's account was compromised and the hackers tweeted out sexist, racist and anti-Semitic comments. Twitter said there was a security issue with Dorsey's mobile provider that allowed the hackers to compose and send tweets from his account via text message. In a tactic known as SIM swapping, a hacker bribes an employee of a mobile provider to get them to switch the numbers tied to the SIM card. That allows them to bypass security measures such as two-factor authentication.

Politicians urged others not to fall for the Bitcoin scam, and some reached out to Dorsey for answers. Shortly after the hack occurred, Sen. Josh Hawley, a Republican from Missouri, asked Dorsey in a letter to respond to questions such as whether the attack threatened the security of President Donald Trump's account and its impact on the security of other users.

"I am concerned that this event may represent not merely a coordinated set of separate hacking incidents but rather a successful attack on the security of Twitter itself," he said in the letter. "A successful attack on your system's servers represents a threat to all of your users' privacy and data security."

On Thursday, Sen. Edward Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, called on Twitter to explain how the hack happened.

"While this scheme appears financially motivated and, as a result, presents a threat to Twitter users, imagine if these bad actors had a different intent to use powerful voices to spread disinformation to potentially interfere with our elections, disrupt the stock market, or upset our international relations," Markey said in a statement. "That is why Twitter must fully disclose what happened and what it is doing to ensure this never happens again."

Musk and Gates weren't the only high-profile accounts that appear to have been compromised. Scammy tweets were seen in the feeds for fast food chain Wendy's, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, philanthropist Warren Buffett, musician Wiz Khalifa, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and celebrity Kim Kardashian. Scammers also appear to have targeted athletes, such as former professional boxer Floyd Mayweather, and even a popular parody account for God, along with cryptocurrency businesses.

"ALL MAJOR CRYPTO TWITTER ACCOUNTS HAVE BEEN COMPROMISED," tweeted Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of the Gemini cryptocurrency exchange. "We are investigating and hope to have more information shortly."

"WARNING: @Gemini's twitter account, along with a number of other crypto twitter accounts, has been hacked," added Tyler Winklevoss, echoing his twin brother and Gemini co-founder's concern. "This has resulted in @Gemini, @coinbase, @binance, and @CoinDesk, tweeting about a scam partnership with CryptoForHealth. DO NOT CLICK THE LINK! These tweets are SCAMS."

Tesla didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. In the US, #hacked was trending along with Bitcoin and #twitterhacked.

Fans to return to TMS on Sunday for NASCAR race – Jacksonville Daily Progress

Posted on by

FORT WORTH The massive grandstands at Texas Motor Speedway are 2/3 of a mile long and were empty for the last race there.

On Sunday, the NASCAR Cup Series race becomes the first major sporting event in Texas in more than four months to allow spectators. It could be one of the largest gatherings of any kind in the state since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.

Just how many show up on a hot day with the virus still raging is another question.

It can absorb a lot of people and you never cross paths with another soul, track president Eddie Gossage said of the facility 20 miles north of downtown Fort Worth.

In Tennessee, Bristol was allowed to sell up to 30,000 tickets, about 20% of its capacity of 140,000-plus, and appeared to have at least 20,000 spectators for NASCARs All-Star race Wednesday night. Speedway Motorsports, which owns Bristol and Texas, is a private company like NASCAR, and does not release official attendance numbers.

Texas has about 135,000 seats and under plans approved by the state could allow as much as 50% capacity. But there isnt expected to be anywhere close to the possible 67,500 or so spectators. The crowd Sunday will more likely be similar to the one seen Wednesday night at its sister track.

To be perfectly honest, I think the place is going to look mostly empty, Gossage said, without giving or confirming any specific numbers. Were a different configuration than Bristol, and so they wont stand out as much as they did at Bristol, even if we have the same number of people.

Frontstretch seating at the 1 1/2-mile Texas track alone is longer than the entire length of Bristols half-mile track, where The Last Great Colosseum is shaped as a massive bowl.

Texas hosted the IndyCar season opener June 6 without any spectators, then submitted and received approval by Texas Gov. Greg Abbotts office to have fans at the NASCAR race. Since then, spikes in new coronavirus cases and a surge in hospitalizations have led to new limits for the public and sports is far from normal.

Aliens are living in underground tunnels on Mars formed by lava billions of years ago, experts suspect – The Sun

ALIENS are living in underground tunnels on Mars formed by lava billions of years ago, experts suspect.

They could be hiding out in them to escape the planets inhospitable surface, it is claimed.

There are more than 1,000 caves on the planet and researchers are calling on Nasa to send a robot to explore them.

Mars is about 33million miles away and cosmic radiation makes its surface inhospitable, which is why aliens may have delved underground.

In a lecture delivered to the third interplanetary conference in Texas, US in February, a team of stargazing academics set out their mission concept.

US scientist Charity Phillips-Lander said: If life exists there it will probably be best maintained in the sub-surface.

Her team of boffins want Nasa to explore whether there are any signs of past or present life inside the lava tubes.

They suggest sending either a rock climbing robot, two-wheeled robot or an unmanned drone to explore the caverns.

The boffins anticipate technological advancements will make the mission possible within the next decade.

On Eve of Bankruptcy, US Firms Shower Execs With Bonuses – Voice of America

Posted on by

Nearly a third of more than 40 large companies seeking U.S. bankruptcy protection during the coronavirus pandemic awarded bonuses to executives within a month of filing their cases, according to a Reuters analysis of securities filings and court records.

Under a 2005 bankruptcy law, companies are banned, with few exceptions, from paying executives retention bonuses while in bankruptcy. But the firms seized on a loophole by granting payouts before filing.

Six of the 14 companies that approved bonuses within a month of their filings cited business challenges executives faced during the pandemic in justifying the compensation.

Even more firms paid bonuses in the half-year period before their bankruptcies. Thirty-two of the 45 companies Reuters examined approved or paid bonuses within six months of filing. Nearly half authorized payouts within two months.

Eight companies, including J.C. Penney Co. Inc. and Hertz Global Holdings Inc., approved bonuses as little as five days before seeking bankruptcy protection. Hi-Crush Inc., a supplier of sand for oil-and-gas fracking, paid executive bonuses two days before its July 12 filing.

$10 million in payouts

J.C. Penney forced to temporarily close its 846 department stores and furlough about 78,000 of its 85,000 employees as the pandemic spread approved nearly $10 million in payouts just before its May 15 filing. On Wednesday, the company said it would permanently close 152 stores and lay off 1,000 employees.

The company declined to comment for this story but said in an earlier statement that the bonuses aimed to retain a talented management team that had made progress on a turnaround before the pandemic.

The other companies declined to comment or did not respond. In filings, many said economic turmoil had rendered traditional compensation plans obsolete or that executives getting bonuses had forfeited other compensation.

Luxury retailer Neiman Marcus Group in March temporarily closed all of its 67 stores and in April furloughed more than 11,000 employees. The company paid $4 million in bonuses to Chairman and Chief Executive Geoffroy van Raemdonck in February and more than $4 million to other executives in the weeks before its May 7 bankruptcy filing, court records show.

Neiman Marcus drew scrutiny this week on a plan it proposed after filing for bankruptcy to pay additional bonuses to executives. The company declined to comment.

Hertz which recently terminated more than 14,000 workers paid senior executives bonuses of $1.5 million days before its May 22 bankruptcy, in part to recognize the uncertainty they faced from the pandemics impact on travel, the company said in a filing.

Whiting Petroleum Corp. bestowed $14.6 million in extra compensation to executives days before its April 1 bankruptcy. Shale pioneer Chesapeake Energy Corp. awarded $25 million to executives and lower-level employees in May, about eight weeks before filing for bankruptcy. Both cited fallout from the pandemic and a Saudi-Russian oil price war, which they said rendered their incentive plans ineffective.

Objections

Reuters reviewed financial disclosures and court records from 45 companies that filed for bankruptcy between March 11, the day the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and July 15. Using a database provided by BankruptcyData, a division of New Generation Research Inc., Reuters reviewed companies with publicly traded stock or debt and more than $50 million in liabilities.

Such bonuses have long spurred objections that companies are enriching executives while cutting jobs, stiffing creditors and wiping out investors. In March, creditors sued former Toys 'R' Us executives and directors, accusing them of misdeeds that included paying management bonuses days before its 2017 bankruptcy. The retailer liquidated in 2018, terminating more than 31,000 people.

A lawyer for the executives and directors said the bonuses were justified, given the extra work and stress on management, and that Toys 'R' Us had hoped to remain in business after restructuring.

In June, congressional Democrats responded to the pandemic-induced wave of bankruptcies by introducing legislation that would strengthen creditors rights to claw back bonuses. The bill the latest iteration of a proposal that has long failed to gain traction faces slim prospects in a Republican-controlled Senate, a Democratic aide said.

Firms paying pre-bankruptcy bonuses know they would face scrutiny in court on compensation proposed after their filings, said Clifford J. White III, director of the U.S. Trustee Program, a Justice Department division charged with monitoring bankruptcy proceedings. But the trustees have no power to halt bonuses paid even days before a companys bankruptcy filing, he said, allowing firms to escape the transparency and court review.

Dodging bonus restrictions

The 2005 bankruptcy legislation required executives and other corporate insiders to have a competing job offer in hand before receiving retention bonuses during bankruptcy, among other restrictions. That forced failing firms to devise new ways to pay the bonuses, according to some restructuring experts.

After the 2008 financial crisis, companies often proposed bonuses in bankruptcy court, casting them as incentive plans with goals executives must meet. Judges mostly approved the plans, ruling that the performance benchmarks put the compensation beyond the purview of the restrictions on retention bonuses. The plans, however, sparked objections from Justice Department monitors who called them retention bonuses in disguise, often with easy milestones.

Eventually, companies found they could avoid scrutiny altogether by approving bonuses before bankruptcy filings. Dozens of companies have approved such payouts in the last five years, said Brian Cumberland, an executive compensation expert at consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal who advises companies undergoing financial restructurings.

Companies argue the bonuses are crucial to retaining executives whose departures could torpedo their businesses, ultimately leaving less money for creditors and employees. Now, some companies are bolstering those arguments by contending that their business would not have cratered without the economic turmoil of the pandemic.

The pre-bankruptcy payouts are needed, companies say, because potential stock awards are worthless and it would be impossible for executives to meet business targets that were crafted before the economic crisis. The bonuses ensure stability in leadership that is needed to hold faltering operations together, the firms contend.

Some specialists argue the bonuses are hard to justify for executives who may have few better job options in an economic crisis.

With double-digit unemployment, its a strange time to be paying out retention bonuses, said Adam Levitin, a professor specializing in bankruptcy at Georgetown Universitys law school.

Closed stores, big bonuses

J.C. Penney has not posted an annual profit since 2010 as it has struggled to grapple with the shift to online shopping and competition from discount retailers. The 118-year-old chain, at various points, employed more than 200,000 people and operated 1,600 stores, figures that have since been cut more than half.

On May 10, J.C. Penneys board approved compensation changes that paid top executives, including CEO Jill Soltau, nearly $10 million. On May 13, Soltau received a $1.7 million long-term incentive payment and a $4.5 million retention bonus, court filings show.

The annual pay of the companys median employee, a part-time hourly worker, was $11,482 in 2019, a company filing shows.

J.C. Penney filed for bankruptcy two days after paying Soltaus bonuses. At a hearing the next day, a lawyer for creditors argued the payouts were designed to thwart court review. The payouts were timed so that they didnt have to put it in front of you, said the lawyer, Kristopher Hansen, addressing U.S. Bankruptcy Judge David Jones.

Jones who is also overseeing the Whiting Petroleum, Chesapeake Energy and Neiman Marcus cases told Reuters that such bonuses are always a concern in bankruptcy cases. That said, the adversarial process demands that parties put the issue before me before I can take action, he added, emphasizing he was speaking of general dynamics applicable to any case. A comment made in passing by a lawyer is not sufficient.

In its statement earlier this year, J.C. Penney said the bonuses were among a series of tough, prudent decisions taken to safeguard the firms future.

Dennis Marten, a shareholder who said he once worked at a J.C. Penney store, disagrees. He has appeared at court hearings pleading for an investigation of the companys leadership.

Shame on her for having the gall to get that money, he said of Soltau.

Neiman Marcus is marketing store leases as part of its bankruptcy reorganization – The Dallas Morning News

Posted on by

Neiman Marcus may close four of its namesake stores as part of its bankruptcy reorganization, but none in Texas.

The Dallas-based luxury retailer is in the process of closing almost all of its Last Call stores and now could add full-line stores to its permanent store closing list. The stores under consideration are:

A&G Real Estate Partners is marketing the properties, pitching them as good locations for office, residential, hotel and retail uses.

We continue to assess our store footprint to ensure it is optimal to enhance revenues, overall profitability and our omnichannel strategy. This assessment may include marketing of leases for certain locations, said Amber Seikaly, Neiman Marcus spokeswoman.

This is not necessarily an indication that were closing a particular store, but rather a way to monetize the value of the leases at these properties, she said. Funds generated would be used to make investments that drive profitable and sustainable growth.

If the leases arent sold, Seikaly said, those stores continue to be part of our footprint assessment.

Retailers can reject leases in bankruptcy without penalties in Chapter 11 bankruptcy filings. While the companys main reason for seeking court protection was its $5 billion in debt from two leveraged buyouts in less than 10 years, Neiman Marcus was also expected to close some of its namesake stores.

The company was rumored to be closing its Hudson Yards store in Manhattan, which is its newest, but the retailer hasnt made an announcement yet, instead saying that its assessing all of its real estate.

These are long-term leases, with remaining terms ranging from 2026 for Palm Beach to 2040 for Bellevue and options to extend contracts out even further. The lease on Walnut Creek has the option to extend into the next century 2112.

Some Local Businesses on the Brink of Bankruptcy During Pandemic – YourErie

Posted on by

On the brink of bankruptcy, as even more restrictions hit restaurants, some might not last if there is another round of closings during the pandemic.

John Buchna with the Erie Downtown Partnership said people need to be responsible to keep the area in the green phase and that it will keep businesses open with many restaurants staying afloat for now, but they might not get hit hard until the end of the year.

There are organizations like ours and many others that are looking to find ways to help, but in this case from a retail standpoint, the best things we can do is, other than practice our safety, is supporting that business, said Buchna.

Buchna said many downtown businesses rely on the people that live there most.

A lot of the downtown businesses are build around the density of a downtown, communities across the nation, its just how it is built. When you dont have the large employers or you dont have the large density of population, from a safety standpoint you dont really have the big customer base, he added.

The owner of Dominicks said his business was on the brink of bankruptcy and may close down for good if there is another round of closings.

Its horrible we were on that brink, we were right there, probably a week or so from shutting down the doors for good and we felt that we owed our customers that due diligence of letting them know where we were at, said Dominicks Diner Owner Tony Ferraro.

Ferraro said that happened a month before the county went green and so far they have not received any funds or loans.

Buchna said some businesses are actually benefiting during the pandemic such as big shopping stores like Walmart.

He added their issue is a lack of inventory, not customers.

Robert Limoges: Non-maskers a threat to life, liberty – The Bethel Citizen

Posted on by

In the Declaration of Independence, the very first right is life, followed by liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There is a reason for that order. When people dont wear a mask in a public place, they are threatening my life and those of others while holding liberty (freedom) at a higher level.

Actually, it shows people just dont care and they fall back on freedom as an excuse.

Gov. Mills is holding the public accountable to the highest principles of this country by requiring masks. I guess she needs to since the no-maskers wont.

Those who strongly support the Second Amendment and believe in liberty/right/freedom to have guns still have rules imposed by the state that a person cant indiscriminately wave a gun around in a crowd with a finger on the trigger. Thats pretty much what people are doing right now when they dont wear a mask. They are spraying droplets into the air that potentially contain the coronavirus.

There are new rules for a reason: to protect peoples lives so they can have liberty and the right to pursue happiness.

Those who think not wearing a mask is a political statement should pay attention to the Declaration of Independence.

Wearing a mask is just common sense. Those who think the world revolves around them might not believe that.

Anyone who sees someone not wearing a mask, even for a legitimate health reason, in a public place, should keep their distance. Theyve got their finger on the trigger.

State OKs standards for beach fill projects, other coastal development rules – Carolinacoastonline

Posted on by

MOREHEAD CITY State standards for beach fill projects remain unchanged, with state officials Thursday readopting technical standards for such efforts.

The N.C. Coastal Resources Commission met for a special meeting via teleconference Thursday to take action on three rules. N.C. Division of Coastal Management Deputy Director Mike Lopazanski, who was present for the meeting, said the three rules were due for their 10-year reassessment under state statute.

The CRC is the state rulemaking body which creates regulations for coastal development, while the DCM is the agency which enforces those rules and conducts research and studies for the CRC.

Mr. Lopazanski said a public comment period was held from May 15 through Tuesday for the reassessed rules. No comments were received and no changes were proposed.

The commission unanimously readopted the technical standards for beach fill projects during Thursdays meeting. The projects include beach nourishment, dredged material disposal, habitat restoration, storm protection and erosion control projects.

The readopted standards set the criteria for conducting beach fill projects, including how to characterize recipient beaches, how to characterize the sediment placed on the beach or beaches in question, the criteria for determining sediment compatibility and excavation and placement criteria.

The CRC also unanimously readopted rules for coastal development project periods, commencement and continuation, including rules for commencing or continuing development in an ocean hazard area of environmental concern.

The CRC also unanimously readopted rules for extending coastal development project periods. The rule allows extending minor Coastal Area Management Act permits for beach bulldozing one time by 30 days.

It also allows extending CAMA permit for up to two years for a project that hasnt begun yet. Projects with substantial development begun and ongoing may be granted as many two-year extensions as necessary to complete the initial development.

Market Restraint

Supply Chain Disruptions Caused by the COVID-19 Outbreak to Stall Market Growth

The rocket and missile market growth is likely to get hampered throughout 2020 by the outbreak of the COVID-19 contagion. The pandemic has led to unforeseen shocks to supply chains worldwide, crippling defense manufacturing activities around the globe. For instance, the Italian shipbuilding company, Fincantieri, was forced to halt its operations in March 2020 as the coronavirus spread like wildfire around the world. Accentuating these disruptions is the suspension of business development activities in the defense sector.

For example, planned expos such as the EUROSATORY 2020, where procurement contracts are finalized, now face an uncertain future, further affecting this industry. Moreover, major players in rockets and missiles domain are also witnessing a sharp fall in their stock prices. For instance, between February and March, stock value of the Thales Group fell by 33%, while Leonardos declined by 55%. The cascading effect of the coronavirus pandemic is, therefore, expected to negative on this growth in the immediate future.

Toyota, Japan space agency to design, build rover with living space for NASAs moon mission – The Financial Express

Posted on by

It was in March last year when Toyota Motor Corporation and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) announced their agreement to explore the development of a pressurised rover powered by fuel cell electric technology. And now, NASA has joined efforts with JAXA for a moon mission. The American space agency is set to send the first women and more men to the moon in 2024 and has also revealed that it plans to accommodate its astronauts in the rover itself, hence ditching the need for inflatable tents or underground bases.

JAXA has been designing a six-wheeled, self-driving rover by Toyota which gives a key role to Japan in the Artemis program. The RV-like vehicle will be good for two people for up to 14 days, providing a space to live and work, and also to travel about on the lunar surface.

Toyota says that such technologies are deemed necessary for Moon surface exploration by a manned vehicle. The manufacturer further explains that even with a limited amount of energy that can be transported to the Moon, the rover will be capable of cruising about 10,000 km on the lunar surface. More details on the RV rover here

NASA will however continue to also work on its own unpressurised rover as JAXA-Toyota rover will not be ready before 2029. Although the JAXA rover could be the first habitat for lunar astronauts of the Artemis mission a date for launch has not been announced yet.

JAXA Vice President Koichi Wakata explains: Lunar gravity is one-sixth of that on Earth.

The moon has a complex terrain with craters, cliffs, and hills. Moreover, it is exposed to radiation and temperature conditions that are much harsher than those on Earth, as well as an ultra-high vacuum environment.

How personalized medicine is revolutionizing healthcare in Florida and beyond – Florida Trend

Posted on by

The future of healthcare just landed in Florida. This is a story about the ingenuity of Israeli technology and a partnership with the premier active adult community on planet earth. The combination is turning the central Florida heartland into a world-class medical destination and adding energy to the local economy.

People are living longer and as we age its normal to suffer from more and more ailments. That in turn affects quality of life and places an increasing burden on the healthcare ecosystem.

Why does it have to be that way?

Goldie Hawn, Academy Award winning actress and workout enthusiast, whos in her 70s said, There is no turning back the clock. So, the question in life becomes: What are you going to do while youre here?

Helping people get the most out of their life requires new tools and ways of thinking. Thats exactly whats happening at the Center for Advanced Healthcare at Brownwood in The Villages, located in Wildwood.

Were delivering strategic solutions for patient-centered care, designed to improve the aging process by increasing cognitive and physical performance said Dr. Shai Efrati, MD, founder and research director at the Sagol Center in Israel, part of a leading teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Tel Aviv, and now associated with The Villages Health. The realization of his vision is Aviv Clinic, the worlds largest hyperbaric oxygen therapy center.

Dr. Efrati had an idea while still in medical school. He believed that there isnt enough actionable information for doctors on the front lines. And for patients, their medical records are just too hard to figure out. A new way to approach healthcare was needed; open source sharing of practical data on a massive scale, while keeping personal information confidential along with a complete holistic program using the latest research, technology, and education all conceived and built around patients.

Fast forward to today. Located smack in the center of rolling hills, giant oak trees, and lots of agriculture, Aviv is offering a multi-faceted treatment program. Their therapies are designed to improve the aging process by increasing cognitive and physical performance.

Aviv has chosen the ideal setting. The Villages is home to more than 130,000 people and 75,000 golf carts spread across parts of three counties Sumter, Lake and Marion about 50 miles northwest of Orlando and 80 miles north of the Tampa Bay area.

Villagers are very active and have long taken a proactive approach to their healthcare. This is the perfect place to open our first clinic in the US., said Dave Globig, CEO. We want to change the world by giving people the opportunity to be the best version of themselves. Our goal is to help people live healthier lives by improving their aging experience

Thats a bold goal! How are they doing that?

Dana Nemenyi, Head of Marketing and Sales at Aviv Clinic, gave me a tour of their new 30,000 square foot facility, which blew me away! Theres a medical lab, physical and brain testing labs, classrooms for education, and even a waiting area with a caf.

Nemenyi told me that she joined Aviv to be a part of bringing cutting-edge healthcare to the US. I love helping people and believe the total client-for-life philosophy will change lives. She explained that Dr. Efrati created the concept of a personally and individually tailored protocol to enhance performance in the aging brain and body.

The heart of the program is evidence-based hyperbaric oxygen therapy coupled with a tech-enabled healthcare program. Clients go through an extensive health assessment, including comprehensive cognitive, physical and nutritional testing along with genetic sequencing to create a baseline and personalized plan.

Dive sessions come next. Aviv has state-of-the-art hyperbaric oxygen therapy suites designed to be pressurized to two atmospheres, causing oxygen levels in the bodys tissues to rise to 10-15 times over that of what we normally experience. This is a well-established treatment for a variety of medical conditions affecting brain and physical health.

There are four suites, each seating fourteen people. Stepping inside reminded me of a first-class cabin on a sleek jet filled with innovative technology, and customizable seating. Plus, an iPad provides personalized cognitive training and interactive entertainment options too. Clients go through sixty sessions, or dives, of two hours each over twelve weeks.

Also, each client is fitted with a customized Aviv wearable device, worn throughout the day to collect millions of data points and connected to an Aviv mobile app. This allows Aviv to monitor vital stats and provide feedback real-time. At any time, clients can view assessment results and track progress using the app, as well as communicate with the Aviv healthcare team or schedule appointments.

If all of this wasnt enough, Aviv clients are part of their family for a lifetime. They have access to physicians and other healthcare professionals as well as certified coaches such as registered dietitians.

Whats happening in The Villages, smack in the center of Florida, is nothing short of amazing. The multi-specialty Center for Advanced Healthcare facility that Aviv is part of is already attracting patients from all across Florida and beyond.

The innovation thats occurring here even is remarkable. The coupling of health tech, big data, wireless telecom, custom wearables, and analytics is improving lives and leading to reduced healthcare costs. The result more resilient lifestyles and increased life spans.
