The light heavyweight has lost two straight fights for the second time in his UFC career. Those two two-fight skids are sandwiched around a pair of TKO wins, but memories can be short in this sport when fighters approach three straight on the slide.

Outfest to Honor Producers Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato
The World of Wonder founders' credits include "Becoming Chaz," "Million Dollar Listing," "Tori & Dean" and "RuPaul's Drag Race."
Filmmakers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato will be honored with Outfest’s 15th annual Achievement Award when Los Angeles’s LGBT film festival kicks off July 7 at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles.
Founders of the production company World of Wonder, Fenton and Bailey have had two films that have opened the film festival -- 2000’s documentary The Eyes of Tammy Faye and 2003’s narrative feature Party Monster.
The award is given “in recognition of a body of work that has made a significant contribution to LGBT film and media,” and Kirsten Schaffer, Outfest exec director said, “Few acts can balance mainstream popularity with cult status and maintain their independence, singular vision and relevance -- especially in the mood-shifting LGBT landscape.”
Through their company, the two have produced film, TV and web programming.
Their resume includes The Real Ellen Story, Monica in Black and White and Inside Deep Throat.
They have also produced such TV series as Million Dollar Listing, Tori & Dean and RuPaul’s Drag Race.
They premiered their latest documentary film, Becoming Chaz, at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and in May the film was broadcast on OWN as the first film in the Oprah Winfrey Documentary Club.
In addition to the awards presentation, the festival’s opening night will include a gala screening of Gun Hill Road.

The AMT was never intended to hit middle-income, law-abiding taxpayers. But because Congress failed to index the AMT for inflation, that's exactly what's happening to a rapidly growing number of middle-income families.
The debate in Congress has focused on how to "make up" for the revenues that would have been collected if taxpayers were held liable for this mistake. This assumes the federal government is somehow owed these revenues -- and that America's taxpayers should foot the bill. I think this is wrong. We must change the debate to put taxpayers first -- not the government.
That's why Congressman Campbell and I, together with the Republican Study Committee, have introduced the Taxpayer Choice Act. Instead of simply patching the AMT for a year, as has been done in recent Congresses, it eliminates the AMT altogether. It also takes a big step toward making our ridiculously complicated tax code simpler and more efficient. This will start us on the path toward a 21st century tax system that keeps us competitive in the global economy.

The true novelty of this recording lies more in hearing a younger, greener, less polished Diana Krall than the specific results of her collaboration with trombonist Vince Benedetti. Heartdrops is a 1990 studio recording that occurred after a fortuitous meeting between Benedetti and Krall and a series of dates in between.
What I can hear is that this is not the same Diana Krall who appeared on the CD/DVD Live in Paris. She is still tempering her craft on this recording. Benedetti, for his part, demonstrates his singular genius in composition and arrangement. He provides Krall (and guitarist Martien Oster) a lush, almost Bossa carpet, over which to sing. In the best way possible, these songs sound like lounge musicwhich in itself is not bad, just not the best one can expect by listening prospectively from this recording toward the more contemporary recordings by both artists. As such, this is a unique historical document, illuminating the early talents of the exquisite Ms. Krall.
I love jazz because it is in my blood. It is the only original American art form. It is sacred. The greatest musicians are jazz artists.
I was first exposed to jazz in 1961 listening to my father's records of Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, Count Basie, Nat King Cole, Ben Webster, Coleman Hawkins, Lester Young.
I met Sonny Stitt, Wayne Shorter, Branford Marsalis, Joey Calderazzo, Michael Brecker, Cannonball Adderley, Walter Booker, Dave Liebman, Joe Lovano, George Benson, Mike
Stern, Stanley Turrentine, Billy Harper, Skip Hadden, Charlie Haden.
The best show I ever attended was Joe Lovano with Soundprints at the Wexner Center in Columbus Ohio in 2014.
The first jazz record I bought was Miles Smiles.

- Maruti Suzuki opened a vehicle production unit and battery manufacturing across two states
- The company also wants to launch smaller EVs for the Indian market
- Maruti Suzuki will have plenty of competition in the EV business by 2025
While almost every Indian car maker has launched an electric vehicle in the market, Maruti Suzuki has been left behind, despite the announcement of the Futuro-e concept over two years ago. The company is now taking a crucial first step to rectify this with the setting up of a vehicle production unit in Kharkhoda, Haryana, spending Rs 20,000 crores on its development. More crucially, the manufacturer has also announced a plant to produce batteries in Hansalpur, Gujarat.
On top of these two units, Maruti Suzuki said it will also set up Suzuki R&D Centre India Private Ltd to refine its products. This unit, as per the company, will also assist in the development of new tech for Suzuki’s global markets. Chairman of Maruti Suzuki India Limited (MSIL), RC Bhargava announced the establishment of the Suzuki Foundation.
As GaadiWaadi notes, the battery production facility in Gujarat is part of the MoU(Memorandum of Understanding) signed between the Gujarat State Government and Suzuki Motor Corporation at the Indo-Japanese Summit not too long ago.
First Maruti Suzuki EVs to arrive by 2025
We’re at least three years away from the first Maruti Suzuki-branded EV to reach the Indian market. The first could well be the YY8 electric SUV, albeit with a different name. Moreover, this EV could also spur a Toyota version, with both expected to be sold domestically and overseas.
Although there isn’t a lot of information on the upcoming EVs, it is expected to feature the 40PL skateboard architecture, which is known to be modular, thus allowing the manufacturer to release multiple EV models with the same frame. Suzuki also wants to launch smaller EVs for India, based on the 27PL architecture.
Maruti Suzuki may have a new set of challenges to face when its first EV breaks cover in 2025. Tata Motors has established itself as a popular name in the nascent Indian EV industry. Moreover, Mahindra is expected to launch its first all-electric EV by 2024, so Indian consumers will have plenty of options to choose from.


Today, we sent a letter to Dr. Kenneth Southwick, Interim Superintendent of the Shawnee Mission School District on behalf of the parent of a former Shawnee Mission South High School (SMS) student regarding a complaint that her son, and other minority student-athletes at the school, experienced racial harassment by basketball coach Brett McFall.
In August 2017, two former SMS basketball players submitted written complaints to the school district alleging that Coach McFall routinely made disparaging remarks about their race and ethnicity. An investigation into the matter was conducted by SMS Principal Dr. Todd Dain. After claiming to have interviewed all students and staff who would have been present to witness all the alleged statements and conduct, Dr. Dain closed the case on September 13 and found that "discriminatory actions did not occur."
In his investigation, however, Dr. Dain failed to interview several students who were listed as witnesses to the incidents and were able to corroborate their teammates' complaints. Those students also offered additional instances in which they experienced or witnessed racial harassment from Coach McFall. When the students attempted to share their accounts with Dr. Dain, he declined to interview them.
In our letter to Dr. Southwick, we asked that the Shawnee Mission School District appoint an independent investigator with no ties to the school or Coach McFall to conduct a thorough and exhaustive investigation into the harassment allegations against the coach.

Despite laws on the books already barring gay marriage, legislators in at least nine states are pushing for new, more sweeping measures in hopes of preventing any ripple effect from laws and court rulings elsewhere.
In most cases, Republican lawmakers in states with existing Defense of Marriage acts seek to go a step further by amending their constitutions to specify that marriage must be heterosexual. State Rep. Bill Graves, a bill sponsor in Oklahoma, wants to stipulate that same-sex unions are "repugnant to the public policy" of the state.
Supporters say the constitutional amendments are necessary to ensure that legislation and court judgments in other states - such as the recent ruling in favor of gay marriage by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court - will not compel recognition of same-sex unions in their own states.
Disallowing gay marriages -- as in religious sacraments -- is one thing. But I see no reason to discriminate against gay couple in civil unions. Religions can (and should be able to) do as they see fit. But the state should not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation, bestowing rights and benefits on straight couples that are denied to gays. The issues are distinct, and too many people don't separate them. Or at least that's my opinion. Details from the AP here via Findlaw.com.

text: Guam 'Port Dawgs,' Patriot Express mission is win-win situation Published March 10, 2020 By Tech. Sgt. Tricia Topasna 624th Regional Support Group ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam -- ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam --Air Force Reserve Airmen from the 44th Aerial Port Squadron here worked with the active duty's 734th Air Mobility Squadron here March 7 to support the first Patriot Express mission to land in Guam. The chartered Patriot Express “rotator” aircraft, which provides a significant cost savings to the military community, flew from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, Washington, with a brief servicing stopover in Anchorage, Alaska, before arriving. According to 44th APS leadership, when news the Patriot Express mission was coming to Guam was received, the first thought that came to mind was “Yes!” Patriot Express translates to a unique savings for the island’s military community to travel without incurring the high cost of commercial airline fares and other fees. It also provides an opportunity for 44th APS members to augment with the 734th AMS on a real-world mission improving mission readiness and showcasing their skills. Aerial porters from the 44th APS and 734th AMS began executing integrated ground operations once the Patriot Express mission landed. “This 100-plus passenger and various cargo movement lends itself to our Airmen’s capabilities,” said Lt. Col. Carla Lugo, 44th Aerial Port Squadron commander. “It speaks to the ability of my team to excel in their job proficiency as they work side-by-side with the 734th AMS. With Patriot Express now online, the next six months will provide us another great opportunity to continue building a strong working relationship with AMS.” The globally-contracted commercial airline acts as a bridge connecting the Pacific forces with the U.S. mainland. The added travel option allows for Department of Defense members and their families, as well as eligible "Space Available" travelers, to move between theaters. Pet accommodation was another concern which prompted DOD to start service into Guam. Dependent upon the aircraft’s cargo configuration, families on authorized Permanent Change of Station travel can now book with the Transportation Management Office up to two domestic pets, cat and dogs, once all requirements are met. Based on an initial six-month “proof of principle” starting this month, the Patriot Express’ twice-per-month service is scheduled at Andersen AFB every other Saturday morning at 7:00 a.m. local, and will depart on the same day at 9:50 p.m. ChST. Booking is available 90 days prior to your desired departure dates through the local Transportation Management Office. Scheduled Patriot Express dates include March 21, April 4 and 18, May 2, 16 and 30, June 13 and 27, July 11 and 25, and Aug. 8 and 11. “This is the first time I’ve flown as a dependent and it was a lot of fun,” said Catlyn Marcuri, a Saint Louis, Missouri, traveler on the Patriot Express flight. “I really enjoyed it.” The 44th APS, which is part of the 624th Regional Support Group with units in Hawaii and Guam, deploys qualified personnel to provide air terminal operations worldwide in support of contingency operations, exercises, unit moves, and foreign humanitarian relief or disaster operations.

Mat Latos’ sneeze injury sounds odd. Russell Branyan’s toe injury sounds downright fishy:
Wakamatsu said a table fell on Branyan’s left foot this morning in
his hotel room, cutting and bruising a toe. “He went to close the curtains this morning at 5,” Wakamatsu said.
“He knocked over the table and it landed on his foot.”
You ever knock over a table? It’s not that easy. You really have to smash into the damn thing. I mean, it’s a table; it’s designed to stay upright.
My guess: he was trying to move the table to make more room on the impromptu dance floor he and the 16 flight attendants he had brought back to his room were using. Branyan parties really get going at about 5AM.
Clayton Kershaw had nothing left to prove when he exited the mound during his last Cactus League start on Friday. He finished camp with a 0.00 ERA, made all the more impressive after he extended his scoreless streak to 21 1/3 innings following 6 2/3 frames of one-hit ball against the Royals.
In six spring training starts this year, the Dodgers southpaw racked up 12 hits, four walks and 23 strikeouts. His velocity appeared to fluctuate between the high-80s and low-90s from start to start, but manager Dave Roberts told reporters that he expects Kershaw to get back up to the 93 m.p.h. range next week. Kershaw is tabbed for his eighth consecutive Opening Day start on Thursday.
The 30-year-old lefty is poised to enter his 11th season with the club in 2018. He went 18-4 in 27 starts last year and turned in a 2.31 ERA, 1.5 BB/9 and 10.4 SO/9 over 175 innings. He suffered his fair share of bumps and bruises along the way, including a lower back strain that required a five-week stay on the disabled list.
The Dodgers will open their season against the Giants on Thursday, March 29 at 7:08 PM ET. Given the sudden rash of injuries that hit the Giants’ rotation earlier today, Kershaw’s Opening Day opponent has not yet been announced.

The official draw for the tournament was held at the Theater of the Centro de las Artes 660 in Santiago de Chile today.
Speaking after the draw Joeys head coach Tony Vidmar was under no illusions about the challenge that Australia will now face.
“We’re coming up against three powerhouse countries in world football but that is what you expect at the World Cup,” Vidmar said.
“Australia is not going to get any better exposure, or a better chance to test ourselves against the best in the game, than this.
“Our preparation for these games steps up from now and we will work hard to ensure we represent Australia with pride.”
Australia begins its FIFA U-17 World Cup Chile campaign against Germany on October 18, before taking on Mexico, and finishing with Argentina.
All of the Joeys’ group stage matches will be at the Estadio Municipal Nelson Oyarzún Arenas, Chillán, 400km south of Santiago.
Vidmar said playing all group stage matches in one city would be a positive for the Joeys.
“There’s a few groups where they have to move around the country, so it’s handy to have all our games in the same city,” Vidmar said.
24 nations have qualified for the FIFA U17 World Cup Chile 2015 which will be held at seven (7) venues throughout Chile from 17 October to 8 November.
The top two teams in all six groups will automatically advance to the Round of 16, and they’ll be joined by the four best-placing teams across the six groups.

Swedish defense and aerospace company Saab has set its eye on an old customer for marketing its new Gripen E/F multi-role aircraft.
As the Czech Air Force’s lease for the Saab Gripen C/D is about to end in 2027, it has now taken the opportunity to offer its new Gripen E/F with an advanced engine and enhanced capability to the East European nation.
If the Czech government shows interest, Saab could offer to replace the older Gripens with the new ones by the end of this decade.
“If the East European country decides not to extend the lease for 14 Gripen C/Ds that are set to expire in 2027 (extendable to 2029), the Gripen E/F would be the logical decision, a representative for the Swedish firm told Janes on November 12”, making a pitch for its new aircraft.
Saab is already set to deliver Gripen E/F fighters to the Brazilian and Swedish Air Force starting early next year, as previously reported by EurAsian Times. It is being speculated that Saab is in talks with the Finnish government to replace its aging fleet of F/A-18 Hornets, for which other firms like Lockheed, Dassault, Boeing, and Eurofighter are also in the fray.
The Saab JAS 39 Gripen serves in half a dozen countries and competes with some of the advanced jets in the world. It already has its presence in the Czech Republic, Hungary, South Africa, Thailand, and the United Kingdom and remains in talks with many other countries to market its latest entrant -JAS 39 Gripen E/F, popularly called the Gripen E series.
Gripen E Series
The Saab Gripen E is an upgraded version of the Gripen C/D multi-role aircraft propelled by the GE F414G turbofan engine. It has a maximum payload capacity of 16,500 kg and a speed of Mach 2.
It has a new AESA-radar, InfraRed Search and Track System (IRST) to track threats at longer ranges, highly advanced electronic warfare and communication systems as well as superior situational awareness, according to Saab.
As described by its manufacturer, “The E-series redefines airpower for the 21st century by extending operational capabilities.”
A mainstay of the Gripen E series is its Human-Machine Collaboration (HMC) feature integrating tactical systems that offer only the relevant information to the pilot by filtering all other overly technical and incomprehensible information, according to Saab. This allows the pilot to save time and act almost immediately in times of crisis.
Gripen is non-stealth but still remains of interest to many countries due to Saab’s acceptability of offset conditions and collaboration with indigenous industries. “Gripen may be the world’s best fighter jet,” according to Business Insider.
In war games held in the year 2015, the older Saab Gripens C/D with the Thailand Air Force had ripped the Chinese J-11 fighters apart, as Eurasian Times earlier reported.
This fourth-generation fighter was originally developed in the 1980s to serve as a relatively cheaper, easy-to-maintain aircraft capable of fighting off any potential threat. This has resulted in the jet primarily catering to nations that need an affordable, yet lethal warplane, according to a previous report.
Czech Govt Bid For Gripen E/F
Under a 10-year leasing arrangement signed in 2004, the Czech Air Force employs 14 Gripen fighters, including 12 single-seat JAS 39C and two twin-seat JAS 39D fighters. In 2014, the Czech government called on Saab to extend the lease of the 14 Gripen C/Ds till at least 2027.
Under the terms of the government-to-government agreement, Saab serves as a supplier to Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV), which in turn provides the aircraft to the Czech Republic, according to Air Force Technology. With the lease now ending in about 6 years, Gripen has made the bid to supply its latest Gripen E to the Czech Air Force.
A spokesperson of the Swedish manufacturer was quoted as saying that “countries using Gripen C/D today can in the future undergo a seamless transition to Gripen E, reusing part of the ground support equipment and support system”.
The Gripen E-series is a fighter that adapts quickly to changing technology breakthroughs while remaining operationally relevant over time. With a smart avionics design, existing algorithms can be replaced with new ones without affecting the aircraft’s high availability. The architecture also allows for rapid hardware and weapons updates, as well as a high level of customization for each customer country, according to Saab.
This is the argument that it makes to prove its viability. The Gripen E allows an easy upgrade as well as a smooth replacement making it the logical choice for the Czech Republic.
The Saab Gripen E/F offer has been made a few days after it was reported by Janes that the Czech Republic was looking for long-term fighter plans with Lockheed Martin having responded to RFI for its F-35A Lightning II. It has been said that Czech has been planning to come to a type selection by the year 2025, ahead of the 2027 lease expiry.


The 6.2 liter LS3 V8 engine is currently produced by Chevrolet Performance as a crate engine, offering a peak output of 430 horsepower at 5900 RPM. Between 2007 and 2017, the LS3 was used in high-performance vehicles, such as the Camaro and Corvette, among others.
How much HP does a 6.2 LS have?
The LS3 6.2L is the 430-hp standard engine in the Chevrolet Camaro SS and the all new RWD Chevy SS. It is a fantastic combination of high technology and uncompromising performance.
How much power can you get out of a 6.2 LS?
The LS3 and L99 are both Gen IV, 6.2L, aluminum block, car engines which came under the hoods of GM performance cars between 2008 and 2017. Both the LS3 and L99 engine blocks can be pushed to 850 to 1,000 horsepower. Both engines use rectangle port cylinder heads and have a common 4.065-inch bore diameter.
How much horsepower does a 6 2 have?
The engine is rated at a peak 420 horsepower and 460 lb-ft of torque, which are relatively high output ratings for a naturally aspirated engine that displaces 376 cubic inches.
Which is better LS2 or LS3?
But, the most obvious difference between the two is the displacement. The LS2 has 6.0L of displacement, and is technically was the first Gen IV Chevrolet engine. The LS3, on the other hand, has 6.2L of displacement and is also Gen IV Chevrolet engine. … To no one’s surprise, the LS3 heads are better than the LS2 heads.
How much horsepower can a LS4 handle?
The LS4 has an aluminum block and unique, low-profile front-end accessory system, including a “flattened” water pump, to accommodate the transverse mounting position within the Impala and Grand Prix. It is rated at 303 horsepower and 323 lb-ft of torque. A legend in its own time.
Is 5.3 or 6.2 engine better?
The 6.2 is hands down a more fun motor and will tow significantly better than any of the 5.3 motors, but the 5.3 is no slouch. I don’t have issues with it towing at all. I use the two/haul mode and run it in regular drive.

The “toxic ship” crossed Canary waters, a few kilometers from Fuerteventura as “Pere per casa seva”
Since last Friday he has been wandering along the international corridor existing between two of the largest islands of the Archipelago such as Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, and now, as the Efe agency testifies, it is not known what his destination will be, given that the Ottoman country, doesn’t want to know anything about a similar environmental problem either.
NGOs from countries such as Belgium and the USA warn of the radioactive waste that the ship retains through the cadmium paint that was intended to protect it from these nuclear tests, not to mention the considerable tons of asbestos that are also still on the ship in question , as well as heavy materials that, in practice, violate all kinds of anti-pollution treaties regarding maritime transport, reports Diario de Avisos.
According to the AIS maritime traffic system (which yesterday detailed how the vessel, towed by a Dutch flag tug called ALP Centre, was still sailing near Lanzarote yesterday), the official destination of such a controversial vessel was the Turkish port of ‘Aliaga, but this country has annulled the permission previously granted for the Brazilian aircraft carrier Sao Paulo to be scrapped in Turkish shipyards after not receiving the mandatory reports on the presence of toxic materials, the Turkish Government has informed. “The decision has been taken to cancel the conditional permit granted to the ship NAE Sao Paulo. By virtue of this decision, permission will not be given for it to enter Turkish waters”, says a statement released by the Turkish Environment Minister, Murat Kurum.
Helplessness in the Canary Islands
Government sources acknowledged yesterday in Diario de Avisos that the Spanish authorities, tied hand and foot because the Canary waters remain unprotected without having the proper protection of a state given the rules set on this by the Convention of Montego Bay (Jamaica) celebrated in 1982 and which entered into force a decade later.
Of course, the monitoring of the passage of the old French aircraft carrier returned to Brazil and today out of use that plows this weekend in Canary waters towed by a Dutch-flagged ship contracted for this purpose and that does not comply with any environmental regulations on maritime transport international is constant by the Spanish port authorities in the Canaries, however little consolation it supposes in the event that any incident takes place.
What is clear is that the ship is heading for the Mediterranean Sea, and unofficial sources point to the Greek Island of Chios. This, if the international regulations on this are not met before, of course.
The ship’s transport is now challenging a court order from Brazil’s Federal District Court and, according to multiple activist groups, it has been exported in violation of the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal, as well as the Barcelona Convention for the Protection of the Marine Environment and Coastal Region of the Mediterranean
According to environmental organizations, the movement of São Paulo from Brazil to Turkey is also illegal, since violates the Izmir Protocol of 1996 on transboundary movements of hazardous waste and the Barcelona Convention, which does not allow the entry of this waste into the Mediterranean Sea unless it is destined for an EU country for recycling or disposal.
The export of the ship also violates the Basel Convention, as Brazil did not recognize the Izmir Protocol, which imposes a ban on Turkey, and did not notify or receive the consent of the possible states it will encounter during the voyage, these they are Spain, Morocco and the United Kingdom (through the Strait of Gibraltar). In addition, NGOs claim that the IHM (Hazardous Materials Inventory) is suspected to be underestimated.

Jobs Number Spooks Traders-Dow Erases Gains for the Year
Large cap biotechnology and MO growth stocks are taking a big hit today as hedgies take profits. Many of these stocks are still up YTD but profits are quickly eroding. Stocks to watch in technology, retail and biotechnology are :Intuitive Surgical ISRG ($507) down 3%,Lululemon LULU ($70) down 3.5%, Medivation (MDVN $81.56) and Regeneron (REGN ( $124.70) down 8%. Even AAPL($566.70) is taking a 1.9% hit. The market is severely oversold after a nasty May with the S&P (SPY $128.90) down 8.38% over 30 days.But who could imagine the constellation of bad news over one month:
- Facebook (FB $28.17) IPO debacle
- JPMorgan (JPM $32.20) $2B blown bond derivatives trade
- Weak jobs number
- Slowdown in India and China
- Ongoing crisis in Europe
Gold ($1612) finally caught bids today up $52 after testing lows down near the 1520 level.
Biotechnology has been unusually resilient as it has largely ignored the Euro crisis withe the IBB ($119.55) hitting new highs but correcting 5% lately off recent highs of $126.90. Many hedge funds and traders are positioned for ASCO news next week to drive cancer stocks so be alert to sell on the news which may have begun early. The QQQ has both biotech and tech growth stocks and is down 2% as of 12N EDT. Our mid-cap biopharmaceutical index is down 2.9%.
The 10 year TSY bond is now at 1.47% so deflation “lite” may be around the corner.

Seven people were injured, with three in critical condition, after a shooting on a bus in Jerusalem, Al Jazeera reported on Sunday.
The attackers shot at a bus and opened fire in a car park near the historic Western Wall at 01:24 local time (22:24 GMT), emergency officials said.
Police have launched a search for the gunmen, who fled after the attacks.
A police spokesperson told local media that the incident is being treated as a suspected terror attack.
The ambulance service, Magen David Adom (MDA), said it was treating several people, including two who were in a critical condition.
The victims – six men and one woman – have been taken to hospitals in Jerusalem, MDA added.
It remains unclear as to how many shooters were involved, however Hebrew media has reported that police are searching for at least two suspects.
Video on social media showed heavily armed police at the scene and local media reported that worshippers had been briefly prevented from leaving the Western Wall compound.
A police spokesperson said officers have “begun securing the area, investigating the case and searching for the suspects, who fled”.
The Times of Israel reported that at least one attacker had waited for the bus to arrive at a stop, before opening fire as passengers boarded.
“The bus was full, jam-packed,” driver Daniel Kanievsky told local media. “I stopped at a bus stop at King David’s Tomb and then I heard gunfire, people started yelling, people were hurt inside the bus.”
In a statement to the BBC, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said security forces were “working to apprehend the terrorist” and pledged that anyone involved in the attack would “pay a price for any harm to our civilians”.
The Western Wall is one of the holiest sites in Judaism and thousands of worshippers go on a pilgrimage there every year to pray.
The attack comes a week after 44 people were killed in the Gaza strip during the most serious flare-up since an 11-day conflict in May 2021.
Three days of violence saw Israeli forces targeting the leaders of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and militants firing rockets into Israel.

Earlier this year, there was a lot of hype around the beauty box subscription business. In January, we saw Australia-based bellabox closing an A$1.3 million (US$1.2 million) Series A round. Indonesia’s Lolabox was also launched by former Rocket Internet executives, with the backing of GRUPARA, one of Indonesia’s most active private equity fund.
Around the same time, Taiwan’s online beauty industry has also seen some activities. Japanese venture capital firm CyberAgent Ventures has put their skin in the game by investing in Taiwan based Fashionguide, a beauty and cosmetics social networking platform. Beauty sampling platform VanityTrove also commenced its consolidation in the Southeast Asia market with its acquisition of Rocket Internet’s Glossybox in Taiwan.
While we haven’t heard much since then, a recent beauty box subscription business based in Malaysia caught our attention. The Lilac Box, which sends boxes of premium beauty products to its users, has been receiving a lot of love from its subscribers. The company launched their first box back in January, and it was sold out in three days. Two months later, the first 100 of the second box were sold in two hours. The third Lilac Box was sold out in under 36 hours since it was launched. While there are no public information about how many actual boxes were sold, Lilacbox’s Facebook page shared that the first 400 boxes were sold in the first 27 hours, hinting that the total number of boxes could be between 500 to 600 boxes. Earlier last week, the company has just delivered their fourth Lilac box, and it was received with great reviews, as shown in their Facebook photo comments.
Each Lilac Box cost MYR49.90 (US$15.20), including delivery, and is only available in the Western Peninsular Malaysia.
If there’s one problem that the company is facing now, it is that the team is unable to keep up with the demand of the market, a clear sign that the company is investment ready. If you missed out any of the previous boxes, the only way for you to get your hands on The Lilac Box is to sign up and wait for the next box.
While The Lilac Box is not the first company to attempt a similar model in Malaysia, it is definitely one of the first few to prove that the model might actually work there. Earlier last year, a similar company, Fabulous Find, which claims to be the first beauty box subscription company in Malaysia, launches only to be closed few months later.
Consumers are always on the look out for better ways of discovering new products, and beauty boxes definitely provide them with a cheap way to experiment with new brands. Adding on the surprise element and the brand devotion to only great quality brands, The Lilac Box has definitely found the soft spot of female consumers.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal has taken notice of the artwork of local comic book illustrator, Dean Zachary. Though known for a variety of work, TFN readers may know of his illustrations from Knights of the Old Republic #38. Click here for the feature on Zachary and see below for an excerpt:
"Zachary even got to do something in that issue that will likely stir envy in Star Wars fans: he created the look for a character named Toki Tollivar, a Sith assassin resembling an evil cat.
"I sent this (design) to Dark Horse, and they sent it to Lucasfilm. They loved it," Zachary said. "I actually got to contribute to the Star Wars universe. That's cool."
While nothing has been finalized yet, both Zachary and Marshall are hoping he gets another chance to play with those Star Wars worlds."

This new “plastic” understanding has major practical implications for how we treat brain problems and maintain brain health. And it has led to some surprising discoveries.
Consider dementia, which in some form affects some 15% of people in the U.S. over age 70 and advances rapidly as we age. A brain with Alzheimer’s, the most common form of dementia, turns out, by various measures, to be a brain that is losing its overall plasticity. It shrinks and loses connections. But a growing body of research has found that exercise, both mental and physical, can lower the risk of experiencing dementia.
Last year, Peter Elwood and a team from the Cochrane Institute of Primary Care and Public Health at Cardiff University in the U.K. released results from the most detailed study ever done on the effect of lifestyle and exercise on the risk of getting dementia. The researchers followed 2,235 men—almost all the male inhabitants of Caerphilly, Wales, with initial ages between 45 and 59 years old—for 30 years.
They found that men who consistently did a few things reduced their risk for cognitive decline and dementia by a staggering 60%. These activities included eating a healthy diet (at least three to four servings of fruits and vegetables a day); maintaining a normal weight, with a body-mass index of 18 and 25; limiting alcohol to about a glass of wine a day; and not smoking.


SEVERAL readers have written to us adding their own examples of what Colum Clarke called “apposite adjacents” at the top of the pages of dictionaries (7 October). Among our favourites are two that Jonathan Ormond found in his Reader’s Digest Reverse Dictionary (1989 edition). “Armpit Art”, he suggests, sounds like a plausible future winner of the Turner Prize or some other award for contemporary art, while his favourite pairing is “something I would never want to hear in any religious service”: a “Kazoo Kyrie Eleison”.
Other readers have expanded the field to include encyclopedias. Glyn Williams remembers the spine of volume IV of an encyclopedia he once saw – he thinks it might have been Arthur Mee’s Children’s Encyclopedia – which announced that it was “Fun to Hug”. And John Shortridge recalls a volume of the first edition of The Australian Encyclopedia that was labelled “Marsupials to Parliament”, which seems to us a worthy aim.
AN EMAIL we recently received begins: “Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to offer you this great new book, Scamorama.

R. Kelly’s sister refuses to acknowledge his victims, claiming racism played a role in the embattled singer’s sex trafficking conviction.
After he was convicted of sex trafficking crimes,R. Kelly‘s sisters have come to his defense in a new interview with Good Morning Britain. Cassandra, Lisa, and Theresa offered their opinions on the outcome of the trial during the interview, claiming that racism played a significant role in the singer’s conviction.
Michael Loccisano/Getty Images
,”African Americans have always been treated unfairly. And so I think that has a lot to do with [R. Kelly’s sentence] as well as other factors,” said Cassandra. The host, Noel Phillips, pressed her about whether she believes her brother has had sexual relations with underage women. Cassandra called the victims “bitter,” before seemingly denying that he has ever engaged in sexual acts with minors.
“I can say he may have been with younger women, but as far as underage girls, no—and I stress underage girls. Who has seen that? I believe a lot of the alleged victims are bitter,” she added.
Phillips pushed back against this claim, asking if they would “acknowledge the victims.” However, she stated that she wouldn’t “acknowledge something I don’t have proof of.”
“He is not a monster, he is not a pedophile,” Lisa Kelly said. “The only victim I’ve seen that’s been stolen from, lied on, is Robert.”
She added, “I don’t care about what a lot of people [say], I can only go by what I see, what I know, what I’ve experienced.”
GMB later obtained a statement from one of the alleged victims, which Phillips read on air. “R. Kelly‘s sisters should be supporting us women of color for bravely speaking out. He deserves to spend the rest of his life in jail,” the victim said.

The way a neighborhood looks and feels when you walk or drive around it, from its setting, its buildings, and its flavor, can make all the difference. This neighborhood has some really cool things about the way it looks and feels as revealed by NeighborhoodScout's exclusive research. This might include anything from the housing stock to the types of households living here to how people get around.
It used to be that most Americans lived on the farm, or otherwise made their living from the land, the forests, or the sea. With global trade and an economy increasingly based on providing services to one another, fewer people farm, fish or harvest timber now than at any time in American history. But according to NeighborhoodScout's leading analysis, the neighborhood stands apart from most American neighborhood due to the proportion of its residents still working in these fields. With 4.9% of the workforce so employed, this neighborhood has a greater concentration of such workers than 96.6% of U.S. neighborhoods.
Significantly, 1.0% of its residents five years old and above primarily speak Japanese at home. While this may seem like a small percentage, it is higher than 97.4% of the neighborhoods in America.
How wealthy a neighborhood is, from very wealthy, to middle income, to low income is very formative with regard to the personality and character of a neighborhood. Equally important is the rate of people, particularly children, who live below the federal poverty line. In some wealthy gated communities, the areas immediately surrounding can have high rates of childhood poverty, which indicates other social issues. NeighborhoodScout's analysis reveals both aspects of income and poverty for this neighborhood.
The neighbors in the neighborhood in Ault - Pierce are middle-income, making it a moderate income neighborhood. NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis reveals that this neighborhood has a higher income than 55.9% of the neighborhoods in America. In addition, 6.2% of the children seventeen and under living in this neighborhood are living below the federal poverty line, which is a lower rate of childhood poverty than is found in 61.6% of America's neighborhoods.
The old saying "you are what you eat" is true. But it is also true that you are what you do for a living. The types of occupations your neighbors have shape their character, and together as a group, their collective occupations shape the culture of a place.
In the neighborhood, 33.5% of the working population is employed in executive, management, and professional occupations. The second most important occupational group in this neighborhood is manufacturing and laborer occupations, with 30.2% of the residents employed. Other residents here are employed in sales and service jobs, from major sales accounts, to working in fast food restaurants (20.5%), and 10.9% in clerical, assistant, and tech support occupations.
The most common language spoken in the neighborhood is English, spoken by 86.2% of households. Some people also speak Spanish (11.7%).
Culture is the shared learned behavior of peoples. Undeniably, different ethnicities and ancestries have different cultural traditions, and as a result, neighborhoods with concentrations of residents of one or another ethnicities or ancestries will express those cultures. It is what makes the North End in Boston so fun to visit for the Italian restaurants, bakeries, culture, and charm, and similarly, why people enjoy visiting Chinatown in San Francisco.
In the neighborhood in Ault - Pierce, CO, residents most commonly identify their ethnicity or ancestry as German (26.8%).

Even if your neighborhood is walkable, you may still have to drive to your place of work. Some neighborhoods are located where many can get to work in just a few minutes, while others are located such that most residents have a long and arduous commute. The greatest number of commuters in neighborhood spend between 15 and 30 minutes commuting one-way to work (33.2% of working residents), which is shorter than the time spent commuting to work for most Americans.
Here most residents (77.8%) drive alone in a private automobile to get to work. In addition, quite a number also carpool with coworkers, friends, or neighbors to get to work (9.1%) . In a neighborhood like this, as in most of the nation, many residents find owning a car useful for getting to work.

The American Gaming Association (AGA) recently commissioned a new Nielsen Sports study involving the National Football League (NFL) and sports betting. The study has found that the annual revenue of the NFL could be increased as much as $2.3 billion due to legalized sports betting in the United States.
Analyzing Potential Revenue Streams:
The study analyzed potential revenue streams for the NFL involving sports betting and how more money could be generated for the league. Revenues were considered via betting operators on advertising connected to the NFL, sponsorship and data, along with revenues that would be generated from an increase in media as well as product purchases.
Nielson Sports reported that an increase in viewership and fan engagement could increase the total annual revenue involving ticket sales, merchandise sales, sponsorships and media rights by just over 13%. This would create around $1.75 billion in additional revenues, just from products alone.
An additional $573 million could be generated by the NFL due to spending by operators of sports betting services along with data providers. Gaming operators will be spending money on advertising, of which the study suggests as much as $451 million would be generated. Sponsorship revenues have been estimated at around $92 million a year.
According to SBCAmericas…
American Gaming Association Senior Vice President of Public Affairs commented: “Legal, regulated sports betting will create huge new revenue opportunities for sports leagues—and the NFL could be the biggest winner of all. Once legal sports betting expands across the country, the NFL could take in more than $2 billion a year, reinforcing how much sports leagues stand to gain from increased viewership and private partnerships with sports betting operators.”
Surveying Sports Fans:
To be able to determine the value of the legalized sports betting market to the National Football League, Nielson Sports decided to survey over 1,000 adult sports fans. The goal was to determine the habits of fans who are non-bettors as well as those who wager casually and on a regular basis to see how the betting patterns would result in an increase of revenues.

Keisuke Honda admits he has failed to live up to expectations at AC Milan and is not sure if the club will want to keep him this summer.
Reported Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United target Keisuke Honda has admitted, via ESPN, that he is unsure as to whether AC Milan will be interested in keeping him this summer due to his underwhelming form.
When the Japanese international left CSKA Moscow to move to the San Siro in January 2014 he was billed as one of the most exciting midfield prospects in Europe, but his time in Italy has been disappointing.
The 29-year-old scored just a single goal in 30 Serie A appearances this season, and speculation that he could be set to leave Milan in the summer began to surface midway through the campaign.
It was claimed earlier this season that Honda had been offered to Premier League sides Spurs and West Ham in the January transfer window but that the midfielder had been determined to stay and fight to turn his Milan career around.
Then, in the final months of the season, a report from Italy emerged claiming that the Italian side were set on moving Honda on and that both London clubs were keen on a move for the man who has won 80 caps for his country.
Now, Honda himself has spoken out over his future, and his comments are likely to pique the interest of Spurs and the Hammers as he admitted that he is far from confident of being a Milan player when next season kicks off in two months' time.
The midfielder said, as quoted by ESPN: "I've been playing for AC Milan for two years. I'm not very satisfied with my performance, this is what I acknowledge about myself.
"Therefore I am not sure if my team will want to keep me, And I am not sure about the future of my career, so right now I can't tell you about what will happen next."
Honda is currently undergoing rehabilitation after picking up an injury at the end of the season, but would be fit to start the Premier League season if any concrete interest came in from either Tottenham or West Ham.
Though he has stuttered in recent years, Honda is undoubtedly still a fine technical player, and perhaps the Olympic Stadium would be a more likely destination that White Hart Lane as the Hammers continue their quest to raise their profile on and off the pitch.

A lighthearted feel good movie about the immigrant experience and the process of letting go, Japanese-Polish filmmaker Mariko Bobrik’s first feature The Taste of Pho comes by its drama and humour naturally and honestly.
Long (Thang Long Do), a Vietnamese father and chef living in Warsaw, is still getting used to raising his 10-year-old daughter, Maja (Lena Nguyen), as a single parent, following the death of his Polish wife. Long gets through the day via a rigid routine that’s shattered when the previously all-Vietnamese restaurant he works at is purchased by a white owner and turned into an upscale Asian Fusion joint. Already thrown off by these new developments and still not acknowledging the depth of his grief, Long’s situation is compounded by the fact that Maja has grown to love Warsaw and is happily forming an identity of her own; one that’s growing increasingly tired of having her father’s routine forced upon her.
The father-daughter relationship at the heart of The Taste of Pho is strongly realized, and even if this tale of pushing past loss feels somewhat familiar on a surface level, Do and Nguyen have the perfect chemistry to keep some of Bobrik’s more predictable story elements engaging and believable.
Where The Taste of Pho excels most is in the way it both lovingly and painfully illustrates loss – both of a loved one and a sense of community – through the immigrant experience. While the story predominantly has its heart in Poland and Vietnam, the multicultural cast of characters help to give Bobrik’s material a more global perspective. It’s the sort of film where even minor side characters have their own concerns and issues worthy of being addressed in fine detail. It helps to make The Taste of Pho as warm, complex, and comforting as its titular dish.
The Taste of Pho screens online as part of the 2020 Reel Asian Film Festival from Thursday, November 12 to Thursday, November 19. All online 2020 Reel Asian screenings are geolocked to Canada. A live Q&A with the filmmaker will happen on Sunday, November 15 at 4:00pm EST.
