… Guyana team departs todayKAYSAN Ninvalle, Guyana’s lone gold medallist at last year’s Pre-Cadet and Caribbean Table Tennis Championships, yesterday received sponsorship from Colors Boutique, as he gets set to feature in the 2017 edition of the championship which will be held in Jamaica, August 21-28.One year ago, Ninvalle defeated Jalen Kerr of Trinidad and Tobago 11-8, 9-11, 11-7, 9-11, 11-9 in the Boys U-11 final and now, moving up to the U-13 category, the racquet-wielder believes he can replicate his performance to win gold once again.At a simple presentation ceremony held at the Colors Boutique Robb Street location, Sales Representative Creanna Damon said they were happy with his progress in the sport, noting that her entity is simply fulfilling an obligation made earlier this year.Colors Boutique had signed a two-year deal with Ninvalle to support the sensational player, and as such, Damon believes that with his (Ninvalle) steady growth in the sport, the company is willing to continue its sponsorship.Meanwhile, Ninvalle, who was named Junior Sportsman-of-the-Year for his exploits in 2016, thanked Colors Boutique for the continued support, and said that he’s confident of doing well in Jamaica.According to Ninvalle, he’s prepared for the challenge ahead, pointing out that he’s grown significantly in the sport.Ninvalle is on a full scholarship at Chase’s Academic Foundation and Principal Henry Chase, the school’s proprietor, commended Colors Boutique for its sponsorship. Chase wished Ninvalle the best of luck in Jamaica.The Caribbean Pre- and Mini-Cadet championships engage players between the ages of 11 and 13 years under and is a signature tournament on the regional calendar of events, since it forms the basis for regional table tennis supremacy and the commencement of the journey of many of our young talent into the international arena.Additionally it serves to provide the platform for the technical and tactical development of players in addition to the opportunity for players to win medals, match and assess their skills against Caribbean counterparts and allow the association to lobby for international support among other benefits.In the 2016 edition of the championships, Guyana secured 8 medals with Kaysan Ninvalle winning the Boys 11 years and under singles title. The team also secured medals in the Girls 13 years and under singles – Neveah Clarkston, silver medal Girls doubles – Neveah Clarkston and Abigaile Martin, Isaiah Layne secured silver medal in the Boys’ 13 years and under and silver in the Boys’ and Girls’ 13 years and under.Competition will be among Puerto Rico, Barbados, Aruba, Jamaica, St Lucia Trinidad and Tobago, Dominican Republic and French Guiana and other participating countries.The competition takes on an added dimension with the hosting of a training camp being conducted under the auspices of the Latin American Table Tennis Union for the 11 years and under participants from August 14-19.As our next prospects transition as possible representatives of Guyana at regional and international tournaments, Junior Olympics and Junior Olympic Cycle games in the future, it is therefore critical they are provided with the requisite exposure in view, realising their true potential.Further tournaments such as these charter a pathway players have to take in order to ascend the ranking in the next 4- 6 years.Squad: (11 Years Boys) Dhanesh Persaud, Krystian Sahadeo, Colin Wong, Alexander De Abreu(11 Years Girls) Tatyana Mohamed, Rozeanna Saunders.

is still facing a hearing after testing positive for meldonium, despite recent World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) pronouncements.The drug was added to WADA’s banned list at the start of the year and five-time Grand Slam championSharapova tested positive at the Australian Open. However, WADA issued new guidance earlier this week which said that athletes who tested positive for meldonium beforeMarch 1 could have bans overturned, as the agency was unable to establish how quickly the drug cleared the human body.The statement appeared to offer a lifeline to Sharapova, who is currently serving a provisional ban, but the ITF saidon Thursday that the Russian still faces a hearing and possible sanctions.The ITF statement read: “In light of the recent notice from WADA regarding the process for dealing with cases involving meldonium, the ITF can confirm that the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme case involving Maria Sharapova will proceed to a hearing in accordance with WADA’s recommendations. “The ITF does not intend to make any further statement until completion of this process due to the confidentiality of the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme.“The Tennis Anti-Doping Programme is a comprehensive and internationally recognised drug-testing programme that applies to all players competing at Grand Slam tournaments and events sanctioned by the ITF, ATP, and WTA.“Players are tested for substances prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency and, upon a finding that an Anti-Doping rule violation has been committed, sanctions are imposed in accordance with the requirements of the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme and World Anti-Doping Code.”Share this:FacebookRedditTwitterPrintPinterestEmailWhatsAppSkypeLinkedInTumblrPocketTelegram
As people stood in lines for hours to see President Barack Obama at the “Moving America Forward” rally on Friday, some said they were uphappy and inconvenienced by the event.Check the box · Students from USC and other schools held up signs encouraging people to vote in the upcoming midterm elections on Nov. 2. – Dan Doperalski | Daily Trojan The rally, which featured Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown, Sen. Barbara Boxer, actor Jamie Foxx and band Ozomatli, brought 32,500 people to Alumni Park and 5,000 people who overflowed into McCarthy Quad.Logistics, many said, were the main issue.Volunteers working at the rally said they felt the event was disorganized and they would have appreciated more instruction from volunteer coordinators.“I understand that it’s really tough to coordinate something that is so huge, [but] there were definitely parts that could have been improved,” said David Luo, a junior majoring in neuroscience who volunteered on Friday.Luo also said he was one of many volunteers who were unable to control where people stood based on their ticket color — yellow, green or blue. Discrepancies over the tickets and what they signified caused major confusion among attendees Friday.“The most unfair thing was the ticketing system,” Luo said. “After a while, there were just too many people rushing through and we couldn’t enforce anything.”From the safety standpoint, officials said the event ran smoothly. The event required the Secret Service, the Department of Public Safety, the Los Angeles Police Department and the Los Angeles Fire Department to work together to ensure safety for the politicians and attendees, said DPS Capt. David Carlisle.“That planning paid off for what ended up being a safe appearance by the president,” Carlisle said. “We didn’t have any major incidents, and I attribute that to all the planning. … It went extraordinarily well.”Several people at the rally, however, were treated for minor incidents, such as dehydration and fainting, Carlisle said.“We had multiple medical calls where we would have to respond EMTs. Most all of them were minor in nature,” said Carlisle, who also said these incidents are not surprising at an outdoor event where attendees are required to stand for many hours.One attendee who drove from San Diego to see Obama said she noticed several people whom paramedics rolled out of the crowd on stretchers.“There was a large crowd gathered on the balcony behind the pharmacy [on the steps,]” said Margaret Hokkanen, 50, a real estate agent. “After they cleared the balcony, people were taken one by one on stretchers.”Hokkanen said she saw one person receiving oxygen while on the stretcher,Students who did not attend the rally also said they felt inconvenienced by the entire event, making it difficult to get to class and walk through campus.Lyn Stephenson, a first-year graduate student studying writing for screen and television, said she attended class at a nearby coffee shop because of the chaos on campus.“As a commuter who takes the train, the shuttle unfortunately dropped me off near the growing lines in the morning. As I walked toward my class, I had to deal with crowds, the event organizers and news reporters,” Stephenson wrote in an e-mail.Stephenson said the shuttles were running late and were crowded with non-USC students, which made her miss her train while trying to leave campus to go home.“[The rally] should have been held at a different time. Even a few hours later would [have been] much more convenient, as the majority of classes would’ve been over,” Stephenson said. “If Obama is dedicated to our education, he shouldn’t have interrupted it.”
Tom Molzahn knows he has one last chance to qualify for the NCAA Championships. Although he has waited for this opportunity for four years, he’s never been more confident in his ability to do just that.Having hung around so long already, waiting another day to get a crack at it shouldn’t be too much of an issue for the lone senior on the UW men’s swimming team. The Badgers were flying through Minneapolis en route to Columbus to the Big Ten Championships this weekend. However, they were stranded in Minnesota along with the Golden Gophers’ team when their flight was cancelled out of the Minneapolis/St. Paul airport due to severe weather problems in the Midwest, according to a statement by the Big Ten Conference office.So instead of having the conference meet begin on Thursday with finals on Saturday, the entire event was pushed back a day. “We were supposed to get in Tuesday, but there’s no real adjustment, just move it back a day,” Molzahn said in a telephone interview from Columbus, after the team arrived Wednesday afternoon.The UW and UM teams were able to practice Tuesday in Minnesota, and according to UW coach Eric Hansen, things went pretty smoothly considering the circumstances.”We’ve been here with Minnesota; it’s familiar place to us,” Hansen said Thursday from Columbus. “The people here at the university were great to us. It really was not a big thing.”With their travel troubles behind them, the Badgers now turn their attention to qualifying as many men as they can for the national meet. When looking at the competition in the conference — six Big Ten teams rank inside the top 20, including top favorites No. 6 Northwestern and No. 10 Minnesota — Hansen said his team isn’t as concerned with the team scores as with individual results.”We’re young. With just one senior, the majority of our team are freshmen and sophomores,” Hansen said. “It becomes a matter of trying to get as many people and as many relays to qualify as (we) can.””There are gold medal winners on some of these teams; this is a very competitive conference,” Molzahn added. “We’re racing with some of the best in the country, so we’re not as concerned with where we place.”Molzahn said earlier this season he placed a higher importance on watching his young teammates grow than on his own success this senior year, but now that his career is winding down, he has placed added emphasis on this weekend. In the past, Molzahn has been dangerously close to qualifying for that national meet — missing marks by tenths of a second and beating times from previous years that no longer qualify that year — and knows he has the ability to make it happen in his final chance.”The past couple years, I’ve come so close and missed it by a couple spots here and there,” Molzahn said. “It’s been so close that right now I actually have more confidence.”Molzahn, primarily an anchor on the relays and not an individual competitor, can’t do it alone. Sophomores Mike Desautels and Scott Rice are expected to compete alongside Molzahn at some point, and other Badgers; Phil Davies, Kyle Sorenson and Mike Swanson, could play into the mix as well.”If I don’t make it, it’s not the end of the world,” Molzahn said. “But the other three guys on the relay have improved so much. I really feel this is the year to do it; I think we’re going to turn out a good meet.””He’s going to be a significant player in all our relays,” Hansen, who will not release his relay lineups until just before the meet begins, said. “He’s obviously got the most experience on our team, and we look to him for a lot of our success.”Rice expressed confidence in Molzahn and believes UW’s leader can accomplish the goal he’s aspired to reach for so long.”He’s really excited about it; he was really close to being accepted last year,” Rice said from Columbus. “Some of his meets have been a little off this year, but he’s been training really well.””At the end, I think he’ll swim really fast and have a good chance to make it.”True to form, Molzahn was just as concerned with making sure his teammates perform well at the conference championships on top of his own goals for the weekend.”For us right now, the pressure’s on,” Molzahn said. “We have to kind of jack ourselves even more just because we realize that this is our chance to get to the national meet, a little bit of added importance to this meet.”
Warren Poh | Daily TrojanAfter kicking off the season with 27-3 and 24-3 victories over the Labor Day weekend, the second-ranked men’s water polo team is already looking ahead to taking on No. 3 Stanford at home on Friday.While the weekend games allowed the Trojans’ new freshmen and redshirts to get their first touches during a collegiate game, the team knows that it must be prepared to take on a full-strength Stanford team.“I think this weekend was kind of a confidence builder,” said sophomore 2-meter Matt Maier, who was named the MPSF Newcomer of the Year in 2016. “It kind of built that we are a good team, so I think that will help us this year and going into the Stanford game.”The Trojans have won five straight games against the Cardinal, and they have been looking forward to taking on their Pac-12 rivals again. But the team also knows that it must stay within the system that head coach Jovan Vacic has created, which has kept USC a powerhouse program for so many years.“We always approach it one game at a time,” senior driver Blake Edwards said. “You know, we have a very long winning history and culture at this program, but it all comes down to treating each opponent we have with the same level of respect, studying our opponents and [making sure] that we are well-prepared going into every game.”After the Trojans’ disappointing finish last season — an overtime loss to Cal in the NCAA Championship — the squad is ready to prove it can take the final step and bring home the program’s 10th national title, which would tie Stanford and UCLA for the second most all-time. “We didn’t really lose much from last year,” Maier said. “I think we are a much better team from last year, so I think we will be able to show a lot of people that we are going to be a really good team.”USC has already kicked off its season, but Stanford’s visit will mark the Trojans’ home opener. Playing at the Uytengsu Aquatics Center means the comfort of a home crowd and pool, and the team is looking forward to playing for fans, friends and family.“We love playing at home, especially in front of the band and in front of our crowds,” Edwards said, “But Stanford games always bring in really big numbers, so everyone is just really excited for the support.”Even with the support of a home crowd, the Trojans must be wary of a surging Cardinal team. Stanford is off to a perfect, 4-0 start to the season, and it already boasts three wins over ranked opposition — including a 21-5 drubbing of No. 10 Harvard, a 2016 NCAA semifinalist. In three games against top-25 teams, the Cardinal have outscored their opponents by a combined score of 61-10.Last weekend may have been a good confidence booster, but the Trojans know that each game presents its own challenges, and they are locked in on being prepared for each one as they come.“I just think we have to really focus on our systems and play in our style of play,” Edwards said. “I think if we can put that together, then we should get the result we are after. We know if we play our best water polo, no one can stop us this season.”USC takes on Stanford at 5 p.m. at the Uytengsu Aquatics Center.
The Lakers are taking a gamble that the second era of Dwight Howard goes better than the first.According to a person with knowledge of the team’s intentions, the Lakers are preparing to sign Howard, 33, once the eight-time All-Star is officially bought out by the Memphis Grizzlies and clears waivers over the weekend.Howard, who played for the Lakers for an underwhelming 2012-2013 campaign before departing in free agency, is expected to provide depth at center. The team took an unexpected hit at the position last week when DeMarcus Cousins tore his left ACL during an offseason workout, possibly ending his season.The Lakers reportedly worked out Howard and Joakim Noah for an open roster spot on Thursday then brought in journeyman Marreese Speights on Friday. ESPN reported that several Lakers players were involved in the decision to sign Howard. A source confirmed that Howard is expected to have a non-guaranteed contract. Trail Blazers beat Grizzlies in play-in, earn first-round series with the Lakers The three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year has still been productive when able to play – he spent last season recovering from surgery on his lower back and played in just nine games for the Wizards – but locker room chemistry has been an issue for Howard with several teams. That includes the Lakers, where he and Kobe Bryant had a rift that played a role in his departure for Houston in free agency in 2013 after the team traded for him the previous offseason.Howard’s lone season with the Lakers came with enormous expectations, but it ended with a 45-37 regular-season record and a first-round playoff sweep at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs. Howard turned down a $118 million deal to stay with the Lakers and joined Houston for significantly less.Howard averaged 16.6 points and 12.5 rebounds in his last healthy season for the Hornets, playing 81 games during the 2017-18 year.

Miles to Washington in exchange for the injured center. The plan all along was for Memphis to waive Howard, and the Lakers emerging as a possible destination might have helped the franchise work out preferable buyout terms with Howard’s camp.

Howard gives the Lakers a full 15 players on their roster.Times have been rocky for both Howard and the Lakers since their split. After three years in Houston, Howard has had his rights owned by five different teams in three seasons, suiting up for the Atlanta Hawks, Charlotte Bobcats and Washington Wizards in that time. He never played for the Brooklyn Nets or Memphis Grizzlies.Related Articles

Pearce has become the undisputable go-to man for the Roosters in 2017, with the Blues halfback-in-waiting scoring all four of his tries this season in the final 20 minutes of games. His willingness to take the line on has been an inspiration to his teammates, while his lengthy field goal drought was broken with back-to-back one-pointers in rounds eight and nine. “I feel like he’s had his best ever year in the last 20 minutes of games; it’s the simplest way I can explain it,” Roosters coach Trent Robinson said after the 24-18 win over the Bulldogs. “I don’t know if you’ve noticed but there have probably been more tries. I think he’s scored some tries at the backend of games as well. He took them on pretty early as well [today]. “Toughness has never been an issue for ‘Ju’ but he’s actually showing it more and more in the way that he’s running the ball and he’s happy to do that. “I guess the bits people are talking about are not just passing it to someone else; it’s him taking the line on and trying to score tries and him kicking field goals, so there’s a lot of choice around him. There’s a long way to go in that, but he’s made a big step forward in that. “People as they get older start thinking more long-term, and in footy terms, some people never get there. Some guys like (Johnathan) Thurston and (Cooper) Cronk got there at an early age, and now ‘Pearcey’ is at that point where I feel he’s getting there.”
Calabar’s De’Jour Russell had a successful opening to his 2017 athletics campaign at yesterday’s Youngster Goldsmith Classic inside the National Stadium. Competing for the first time in the Class One 110m hurdles, Russell destroyed his opponents to win the event in a fast 13.45 seconds, getting the better of his teammate, Orlando Bernard, who was second in 14.00, with Kingston College ‘s Phillip Beckford taking third in 14.2. Russell, a fourth-place finisher in the event at the IAAF World Under-20 Championships in Poland last year, was happy with his winning time. “I am very pleased with my win and I am not surprised that I won so easily, as despite this being my first race this season, I have been training very hard,” said Russell. There were also some impressive times among the female hurdlers as well. Vere Technical’s Britany Anderson, despite this being her first year in Class Two, ran a blinder in winning the girls’ 100m hurdles in an astonishing 13.18 seconds – the fastest time ever by a Class Two athlete in the event. Donna Ray Lee of Hydel was second in 13.51 seconds, with third going to St Jago’s Rosalee Cooper in 13.74 seconds. There was a close finish in the girls’ Class One equivalent between Edwin Allen’s Gabrielle McDonald and Vere Technical’s Amoi Brown, who were inseparable after both touching the line together in 13.55 seconds. Hydel’s Trishana Hemmings got third in 13.86 seconds. Edwin Allen also took home the Class Three 80m hurdles, as Lisandra Brown won in 11.27 seconds, ahead of Gabrielle Matthew of Hydel second in 11.37 seconds, with Excelsior’s Ackera Nugent finishing third in 11.40 seconds.

In Lincoln, the number of people claiming the key out of work benefits has fallen by 1293 - a 45 per cent drop – since 2010.
As well as the employment rate continuing to run at a record high, today’s figures show that wages are continuing to rise strongly. Youth unemployment is down by almost 350,000 since 2010, the number of disabled people in work has increased by 590,000 in the past three years, and the proportion of women in work is at a joint record high. Over 70 per cent of the rise in employment since 2010 has been from full time work.
Lincoln’s Member of Parliament, Karl McCartney JP MP, said: “We have seen another set of strong figures, with employment continuing to run at a record high and unemployment falling to a 11-year low.
“The number of people in Lincoln relying on the key out of work benefits has fallen by 1293 since 2010 – a 45 percent drop. Growth is being fuelled by full-time professional jobs while wages are continuing to grow strongly, which underlines the resilience of the UK labour market.
“The measures we have taken have put our economy in a position of strength, and we will work to ensure more people can benefit from these opportunities as we build a Country that works for everyone.”

LEAKING METAL ROOF?
Let Euro Polymers talk you through how we can best serve you. Call us today!
THE BENEFITS OF our plastisol & metal roof repair system
With the use of our premium product manufactured and installed by us, we offer the best in plastisol and metal roof repairs nationwide
Speedy application and hand over
Colour change a building
Spray or roller applied
Any RAL or BS colour available
Cost effective sheeting repair
Changing a building’s façade, roofline and walls is a relatively simple and cost-effective way to define a brand. Moving from darker shades to light is slightly more difficult due to possible shading (sometimes an extra coat is required) but moving from light to dark is very simple. Not only do our systems look better, but unlike paint which will need re-coating every few years, our system lasts and we offer up to 20 year guarantees.
We can. Normal rental contracts often state that the tenant, upon leaving, must restore the building to the same condition as at the start of the rental. These dilapidation clauses are often a sting in the tail for some people moving premises. Our system is the most cost-effective solution that offers the 10-year guarantee period usually needed upon exit.
As a rule, once these systems are installed the building looks exactly like a new building. This can offer a greater rental yield that can cover the cost of works in between 3 and 4 years.
As we manufacture the products and install them, we can produce any RAL or British standard colour. In addition, for a nominal fee we can even colour match with some of our systems.
We have a cut edge corrosion system designed for coating rusted metals which is used alongside this system to offer a perfect result, even on rusted panels.
Feel free to give us a call to see how any of the above services might service your commercial property needs.

Penneys could be set to open Irish stores after Primark in the UK announced it will open all 153 of its UK stores on June 15.
The announcement brings fresh hope for shoppers that the low-price fashion retailer could reopen Irish stores at the end of the month.
The retail giant has yet to confirm when it will reopen its doors in Ireland.
However, it’s understood that Penneys could reopen some of its shops here in the third phase of the government’s exit roadmap on June 29.
A source told the Irish Mirror that it’s likely the retail giant can reopen shops that have access to an on-street entrance and exit.
This will allow for social distancing outside stores for queues.
Penneys shut their doors across Ireland back in March as the government announced lockdown measures due to Covid-19.
When contacted for comment, a spokeswoman for Penneys said they will only reopen Irish stores once they are “convinced that it is safe and right to do so.”
Under the government’s roadmap of exiting the lockdown restrictions here, non-essential retail outlets can begin trading again in phase three, June 29.
The roadmap states stores inside shopping centres can not reopen due to a higher risk of possible Covid-19 infection.
It reads: “Phase in opening of all other non-essential retail outlets on basis of restriction on the number of staff and customers per square metre so that social distancing can be maintained.
“To be limited to retail outlets with street-level entrance and exit i.e. which are not in enclosed shopping centres due to higher risk.”
Stores within shopping centres are due to open again in phase five - August 10th, once social distancing can be maintained.
A Penneys spokeswoman said: “Nothing matters more to us than the health and wellbeing of our employees and customers.
“We are closely following all safety advice from the government and will treat this as the minimum standard across all our stores.”
The fast fashion retailer confirmed yesterday (MON) it will reopen all 153 of its UK stores on June 15th, its owner Associated British Foods has confirmed.
Primark’s 37 shops in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales will re-open in late June pending “further guidance”.
The company has already reopened more than 100 stores across Europe including 32 in Germany, 25 in Spain and 20 in the Netherlands.
It said it had learned lessons from the openings that would be carried forward to UK openings.
A spokesman said: “Social distancing protocols, hand sanitiser stations, perspex screens at tills and additional cleaning of high frequency touch points in the store are among the measures we are implementing.
“As European governments have begun to ease restrictions on clothing retailing we have been able to re-open stores.
“Safety has been our highest priority in our detailed preparations to welcome our customers and employees back to stores.
“We are following government safety advice in all markets.”
Personal protection, including masks and gloves, are also being made available to all employees.

Anderson, Scott branded ‘grossly incompetent’
Report criticises accounting officers for botched vehicle purchase
Two public officials have been tagged “grossly incompetent” in an Integrity Commission report for their handling of two contracts that cost Jamaican taxpayers $20 million.
The report, which was tabled in Parliament on March 8, covered an investigation into allegations of the non-performance of a contract awarded to car dealership GM Challenger by the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) in 2014.
The report found that Major General Antony Anderson, the then chief of defence staff of the JDF, and Gilbert Scott, a former permanent secretary in the Ministry of National Security (MNS), as the relevant accounting officers, were “cavalier” in the manner in which the procurement activities were conducted for the contracts awarded to the company.
“… They allowed the same entity, GM Challenger, to be twice paid deposits totalling approximately $20 million for vehicles ordered but not supplied and that no refunds of those deposits have been received to date,” Director of Investigations (DI) Kevon Stephenson said in the report.
The report also said that both Anderson, the current commissioner of police, and Scott breached Section A7.6.3. of the Public Sector Procurement Procedures when they authorised partial payments to GM Challenger without first obtaining an advance payment security from the company.
In May 2014, the JDF contracted GM Challenger to provide a new ambulance at a cost of US$113,807.38 with a two-month deadline.
An advance payment of J$6,097,777.28 was made to the company, which failed to deliver the vehicle, resulting in the JDF terminating the contract.
A request for a refund was made, but GM Challenger replied with a claim for losses it said it suffered because of the termination of the contract.
GM Challenger said money would have been spent on ordering the manufacturing of the chassis for the ambulance, which had to be specially retrofitted for the JDF. It also made a claim for damages for breach of confidentiality.
The company said that it failed to meet the deadline because the JDF had been indecisive about the type of ambulance it wanted.
GM Challenger said that the JDF was informed that the ambulance it wanted would have taken five months to procure.
The dealership said the JDF indicated some time after that it could not wait and instead settled for another version of the ambulance.
However, months later, GM Challenger said the JDF indicated that it wanted the first ambulance, but by that time the supplier had sold the vehicle.
The JDF subsequently wrote to the attorney general (AG) to take steps to recover the sum paid.
In the matter of the security ministry, the Integrity Commission’s report said that it contracted GM Challenger to supply five 40-seater buses to the JDF in February 2006.
A deposit of $12,986,209.60 was made, but the company failed to supply the buses, resulting in the ministry’s termination of the contract.
“To date, GM Challenger has neither returned the deposit nor delivered the buses to the Ministry of National Security or the JDF,” the director of investigations said.
The Integrity Commission report said a year after GM Challenger was contracted to procure the buses, the ministry enquired about the delivery and was told by the company that they would be ready by the middle to the end of the month (August 2007) and that a shipper was being sought.
On October 24, 2007, GM Challenger wrote to the ministry advising that the five buses were ready but there were some challenges in importing them as the shipping cost which they had included in their bid price moved from US$9,000 per unit to between US$16,000 and US$20,000 per unit.
This prompted the ministry to request a refund, but instead, the company proposed that the ministry absorb the additional freight charges or allow it to supply police cars from its inventory to offset the obligation.
The security ministry rejected the proposal.
Stephenson concluded that Anderson and Scott, or their designate, “were grossly incompetent, at best, in their handling of the contracts outlined herein”.
“The foregoing is a clear breach of fiduciary on the part of the respective accounting officers, who, in contravention of the procurement rules, approved advance payments to GM Challenger without first obtaining the requisite advance payment security,” he said.
“... The DI finds it inexcusable that the Government of Jamaica, on behalf of taxpayers, remains out of pocket for over 14 years in one instance and over seven years in the other.”
He said the justifications proffered by GM Challenger for failing to meet its contractual obligations and/or refund the deposits paid were “questionable, at best, if unacceptable”.
Stephenson has recommended, among other things, that the current chief of defence staff, Antonette Weymss Gorman, identify the officers accountable for the breaches and consequential loss and “pursue the necessary disciplinary actions to deter such conduct and/or minimise the occurrence of similar breaches in the future”.
The report has been referred to the attorney general to pursue actions deemed appropriate to “put the Government of Jamaica (JDF and MNS) in the position it would have been had GM Challenger not breached its 2006 contract with the MNS and its 2014 contract with the JDF to supply five buses and an ambulance respectively”.
Stephenson has also asked the AG to consider the possibility of joining, where appropriate, the negligent officers in the JDF and the MNS in any action for breach of contract in respect of GM Challenger.

WASHINGTON - A very modern test awaited the women and girls in old-fashioned prairie dresses and the men and boys in long-sleeved shirts and pants after the April raid on their home in Schleicher County.
The state's tab for DNA testing to determine family relationships is close to $60,000 or about $97 each on average for 599 samples.
The tests ordered by 51st District Judge Barbara Walther are among more than $12 million - and mounting - of documented expenses for the state's legal battles with the polygamous sect that has a stronghold at the YFZ Ranch near Eldorado.
Patrick Crimmins, spokesman for the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, said the agency hasn't released figures yet on expenses for its investigation and legal work after the children returned to their parents in June.
"The cost decreased quite a bit when the children were returned because the expense of foster care was very high," Crimmins said. "And of course, when the sheltering operation went on, that was very expensive."
Personnel from agencies ranging from the Department of Public Safety to the Texas Forest Service converged on San Angelo after Child Protective Services removed hundreds of children from sect parents out of concern they were being abused.
CPS and law-enforcement authorities raided the YFZ Ranch for a week starting on April 3. That resulted in a huge child custody case ultimately involving 439 children.
State appeals judges ordered the children returned to their parents, and ordered that CPS deal with each case separately. But that was not before authorities launched an extensive housing and foster care operation that cost the state more than $12.64 million.
The city of San Angelo's bill for housing, caring for and protecting sect children and some of their mothers added to $713,312.83, said Bill Smith, San Angelo chief accountant.
Most of it was for police officers' time, Smith said. The state was prompt in reimbursing the city for "every bit of it" by August.
The Texas Attorney General's Office counts the DNA tests among its direct expenses, along with an additional $164,895 for travel and other expenses related to the ongoing criminal investigation.
"Ongoing" means costs are still adding up, just as the cases in civil court are continuing expenses.
But personnel at the AG's office have absorbed the FLDS criminal cases into their duties, said Jerry Strickland, AG's Office spokesman.
Washington regional correspondent Trish Choate can be reached at (202) 408-2709 or email@example.com.
What it cost
The state's price tag for last year's April raid on the YFZ Ranch, the compound of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, is more than $12.8 million and still counting for expenses ranging from DNA testing to placing children from the polygamous sect in foster care:
n $223,420 - Texas Attorney General's Office total, made up of $165,000 in travel and other direct expenses for the ongoing criminal investigation, and $58,420 for DNA testing.

This vicious cycle of crazy ass pain and taking pain medication is never-ending. I often wonder what would happen if I stop taking my pain meds, but the fear of that excruciating pain is just too much to handle. Yes, I am one of the folks taking prescription meds. I am not taking narcotics on a daily basis, I was taking Darvocet and I have yet to find a replacement for that damn drug. I never took it daily, but it did help take the edge off on those days when the pain was at level 10+. Now I have nothing.
I have hated this process to get to where I am at, but at the very least, I know what to do and my doctors are willing to work with me. They don’t look at me like I am crazy and Kaiser believes in chronic pain and Fibromyalgia and has a program to work with you. That does not mean that it’s easy to figure out the meds, it’s absolutely not easy. I have a fundamental problem with putting this crap in my body. I don’t believe the long-term effects are clear and honestly, it’s scary. I’m watching TV and seeing these lawsuits going on and the meds they are advertising class action suits for? I am on today or have been on in the past! Seriously? It’s not cool! What do I do? I can’t afford the natural path, it’s just not in my current budget. I did try it, and it is a nice way to go. I believe in it, I support it – I just can’t afford it. I wish that it was part of my medical benefit, that would make a big difference.
Even though I have been taking some of these meds for over a year, I still read the papers every single time I renew the prescriptions. Topiramate has the same side effects as Fibromyalgia! This is crazy to me. I think about this a lot. I believe the meds are helping me, but sometimes I have to wonder if the meds are also introducing their own issues. Foggy brain seriously sucks! Is the Topiramate helping or hindering?
If you read my last blog, you know Kaiser ran out of one of my meds. I didn’t end up getting that scrip for 2 weeks. Well, by the time I picked it up I had pretty much become used to not taking it. I decided to go without it. That medication was initially introduced for pain and to help me sleep at night. After being off the medication for two weeks, I believe my pain and sleep is the same as it was while I was on the medication. That was a great “pro” for Kaiser running out of the med, at least I was able to determine I don’t want to take it anymore. One less pharmaceutical in my body.
One of the other meds I am taking is Cymbalta. I am a believer of this med. I have chronic depression and this has definitely worked for me. If I have to choose between being in pain or being depressed, I’ll take pain. I have had depression for much longer than I have had FMS and it is a kind of pain that is unbearable for me and those around me. To be at my lowest point in depression and my highest level of pain and to have to choose between fixing one of those? Wow. That would not be cool. Both are so unbearable.
So… back to Darvocet. I have been having a lot of flares in the last six months. Darvocet was very helpful to me when it was available. Since it has been removed from the market, and for good reason, I have not been able to find anything that works. I have tried Vicodin – this less than mildly takes the pain away, so it doesn’t really feel like it’s worth it. Tylenol with Codein – this does less than zero, feels like I am taking a placebo. The only other alternative my Dr. could offer was Methadone. Hmmmm, at this point I pretty much am not really feelin’ that drug. It just feels wrong, I don’t know. Anything else interacts with the stuff I already take. Very frustrating. Especially with the number of flares I have been having. I need your advice Fibromites and fellow chronic pain mates!!
Well, that’s all I’m thinking about today, thanks for stopping by! I could really use your comments on this one, I would love to hear how you are coping on your meds.

The Ashokan Release Channel is currently being increased from 10 to approximately 300 MGD in 20 to 40 MDG increments, starting at 8AM this morning. The final step is scheduled for 3:30PM. The current release channel turbidity is 8.4 ntu.
The Ashokan Release Channel is being decreased today from 320 to approximately 10 MGD. The decreases have been executed in 20 to 40 MGD steps, starting at 9:30AM this morning with the final step scheduled for 5:30PM this evening.
The current release channel turbidity is 10.30 NTU.
Since the NYSDEC failed to include the lower Esopus Creek on the list of impaired waters, the EPA took action to have the creek added to the list for excessive turbidity. The EPA announced its action in a letter to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation regarding Lower Esopus Creek, stating:
After considering all submissions and in accordance with the Clean Water Act
and EPA regulations and guidance, the EPA has concluded that current and available information
indicate that New York State’s narrative water quality standard for turbidity is exceeded in the Lower Esopus Creek and that 303(d) listing for this portion of the creek is therefore necessary.
The listing means that the EPA recognizes that prolonged releases of turbid water from the Ashokan Reservoir has impaired the stream and that the state must come up with remedies to address the situation. The rationale for the EPA’s listing is detailed in supporting materials which accompanied the letter, provided in PDF format here:
The Ashokan Release Channel was decreased today from 480 to approximately 440 MGD. The decrease was made at 10:20AM.
The current release channel turbidity is 9.50 ntu.
The Ashokan Release Channel was decreased today from 600 to approximately 480 MGD. The decreases were made in three 40 MGD steps. The first decrease was at 2:45, the second at 3:15PM, and the third at 4:45PM.
The current release channel turbidity is 9.70 ntu.
The exploration of and training on the Lower Esopus digital watershed sub-basin mapping tool has been pushed back 1 week.
Originally scheduled for Jan 15th, the workshop and training will now be on January 22nd, from 9am til noon.
The event is taking place at Cornell Cooperative Extension offices in the Kingston Plaza.
You are welcome to attend!
Workshop: TUESDAY, JANUARY 22nd, 9 am-12 noon
The digital sub-basin maps were created by the CCEDC GIS Lab in coordination with Hudsonia Ltd. for the Lower Esopus Watershed Partnership. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation provided funding for this project from the Environmental Protection Fund through the Hudson River Estuary Program in partnership with the New England Interstate Water Pollution Control Commission.
The Ashokan Release Channel was increased this evening from 400 to approximately 600 MGD. The increases were made between 5:30 and 7:30 PM in increments of 40 MG each.
The current release channel turbidity is 13.5 ntu.
The Ashokan Release Channel was decreased today from 600 to approximately 400 MGD. The decreases were done in 40 MGD increments and completed at 2:30PM.
The current release channel turbidity is 13.40 ntu.
The Ashokan Release Channel was increased from 400 to approximately 600 MGD starting at 11:00AM finishing at 1:00PM. The increase was made in 40 MG increments every 1/2 hour. The current release channel turbidity is 11.9 ntu. The reservoir level is 91.7%, and the releases are intended to reduce the level to the Conditional Season Storage Objective of 90%.
The Ashokan Release Channel will increase today from 0 to approximately 400 MGD. The increases will be made gradually in increments of 20 to 40 MGD starting at 7:30AM and finishing at 4:00PM.
The current release channel turbidity is 8.10 ntu.

The life insurance industry is preparing for an onslaught of mental health-related income protection, trauma and disability claims from consumers hit hard by the coronavirus-induced economic downturn and social isolation.
The lobby group representing life insurers and fund managers has sounded the alarm on the rising mental health toll of the pandemic and commercial implications for the troubled industry, which has faced plummeting profits and regulatory scorn since being targeted at the Hayne royal commission.
"Even before the pandemic, life insurance had already been facing a broader national issue with Australians’ worsening mental health," Financial Services Council (FSC) chief executive Sally Loane told a virtual meeting of its members on Monday.
"Mental health claims have doubled and mental illness is now one of the greatest burdens of disease for ... insurance claims.
"Even with the extraordinary government and taxpayer safety nets of JobKeeper and JobSeeker, the mental illness burden may get worse in the coming months."
In the 12 months ended December 31, the life insurance industry paid out $750 million to almost 7000 Australians suffering from mental illness, according to data from the FSC and big four accounting firm KPMG. Mental health accounted for more total permanent disability (TPD) claims than any other single cause.
Sean McCormack, chief life insurance officer at MLC Life Insurance, told the meeting that COVID-19 had dramatically heightened risks of mental health conditions for both existing claimants and other policyholders.
"This will be one of the most significant things we face as an industry in the forseeable future," Mr McCormack said. "Given the stress and strain, we are going to see an increase in primary incidence of mental health conditions and that will flow through to [income protection] and TPD."
Already-vulnerable customers with existing mental health-related claims face the prospect of secondary conditions emerging, he said, with the social isolation created by state-imposed lockdowns a major contributing factor.
Returning to the workforce for customers who had already claimed had been complicated by concerns about community transmission of the virus and an increasingly competitive labour market in the wake of rising unemployment. This posed the commercial risk of "extended IP durations" for insurers, he added.
Other customers without a history of mental ill health ran the risk of developing conditions, with the multi-faceted challenges presented by the economic downturn, public health crisis and social distancing edicts, Mr McCormack predicted. Increased drug and alcohol dependancy was another key risk that could lead to a spike in claims.
The Japanese-owned life insurer, which is part owned by National Australia Bank, has been focused on creating "social connection" opportunities for its customers in rehabilitation or on claims for mental health-related conditions in order to alleviate the stress and anxiety stemming from lockdown.
'Some silver linings'
Sue Houghton, general manager of insurance for Westpac's BT Financial Group, agreed with the assessment, saying the industry was "alert and planning" for a wave of anticipated mental health-related claims.
But Damien Mu, chief executive of insurer AIA Australia, told the FSC event he was hopeful rising mental health claims might be offset by a number of healthy living concomitants of the pandemic.
"No one wants to go through a crisis or pandemic like we are seeing but there are some silver linings," Mr Mu said.
"The research shows peoples’ diets have improved because they are cooking more at home, they are [engaging in] more exercise and living life a little bit slower so that has an impact on peoples’ physical and mental wellbeing and that impacts claims in a positive sense."
Jane Hume, assistant minister for superannuation and financial services, told the meeting the federal government also expected to see an increase in mental health-related claims.
"These past few months have certainly been a challenge for the life insurance industry, and with cases increasing here in Melbourne, we’re still in the thick of it," Senator Hume said.
"But I’m confident the life insurance industry has the resources available to continue to support customers in need."

Tankless gas water heaters have an incredible immediate appeal. Instantaneous, endless hot water; as much as you want, whenever you want it. A more efficient approach to keeping your water hot, and a more economical solution than traditional tank-style water heaters.
It’s an attractive option. But just like any other major renovation, there are pros and cons to tankless gas water heaters. Are they right for you?
There’s no question that tankless gas hot water heaters are much more efficient than the alternatives; according to the U.S. Department of Energy, saving about $108 per year on your energy bill when compared to traditional tank water heaters, as well as $64 per year when compared to electric tankless heaters.
Pretty great, right? It most assuredly is. However, these savings are offset by a pretty substantial up-front cost; tankless water heaters can cost significantly more than traditional storage heaters, ranging from around $1,000 for a tankless electric, whole-house model, to three times as much for a gas-powered model, once you’ve paid for installation by a qualified plumber.
If that wasn’t enough, there’s also the minor issue that some homes aren’t ready to support tankless water heaters, and will require some renovation. If your home is currently running on an electricity-only utility model, you may need to rewire your home, which means hiring a qualified electrician and adding as much as $5,000 to the escalating cost of your renovations.
With these costs, is a tankless water heater still worth it? Well, there’s also a suite of benefits beyond just the energy savings.
Some homeowners appreciate the space-saving, compact design. It’s generally understood that they last a great deal longer, often coming with 15-year warranties, as opposed to traditional water heaters, where a six-year warranty is weighing in on the longer side. Reliability also factors in; since they don’t store water, there’s no risk of a breakdown leading to flooding, no water on the floor and a suite of unwanted hassles.
Additionally, there’s an environmental impact – with no rusty tanks cluttering up landfills, they present an appealing green option.
Points to Consider
If you’re still not certain whether or not a tankless gas hot water heater is right for you, it’s worth considering whether you intend to heat a single bathroom or your entire house. Electric models have a lower cost, but gas models have a higher efficiency – usually qualifying for federal tax rebates, as well as state-level incentives, due to their higher efficiency rating.
Whatever you decide to do, the dream of on-demand hot water is achievable; it just takes some careful planning to get there.

Since the launch of the Transformer Prime, ASUS’s quad-core powered Android tablet, has seen all sorts of problems, whether it be due to software or hardware. But, while there have been issues, that hasn’t stopped it from finding its way into plenty of people’s homes. But, when software doesn’t fix the problem, you’ve got to turn to a few different other means to make the magic happen. And that’s exactly what ASUS looks to be doing.
New owners of the tablet who register their device with ASUS are informed of a new application, a GPS Extension Kit. This is a free dongle that “may help improve signal reception and optimize the user experience.” ASUS is playing it safe with this one, not saying that the dongle will help, absolutely, but that there’s a chance that it could. Better safe than sorry. This free dongle is set to start shipping about mid-April, and ASUS has said that it will be available for all Transformer Prime owners.

Goglev Dmitry Alekseevich. Born on August 6, 1987 in Leningrad. Later, together with his parents, he moved to the city of Veliky Ustyug, Vologda region. He studied at the gymnasium number 10. After graduating from school, he entered the St. Petersburg State Mining University, a geological survey department specializing in geophysical methods of searching for minerals. After graduating as a mining engineer for 8 years he worked in engineering and geological surveys. Since 2017, he has been the Project Manager of the aeromagnetic survey with the UAV of the Geoscan Group of Companies.
Aeromagnetic survey using UAV with detailed envelope relief
This report presents the experience of Geoscan in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles in magnetic exploration. Magnetic survey is one of the oldest geophysical methods, without which practically no search for minerals can do without today. As one of the leading developers of software and unmanned aerial systems and realizing all the advantages of using UAVs, we developed a rubidium quantum magnetometer and installed it on a unmanned aerial vehicle of the Copter type Geoscan 401. The first test flights conducted in October 2017 confirmed high efficiency both the created magnetometer and the system as a whole. Thanks to the achievements of the company in the field of building accurate maps of the area, it became possible to perform magnetic surveys at extremely low altitude with a detailed rounding of the terrain. At the moment, the magnetic survey with the UAV is actively used by leading exploration companies in Russia. During the field season of 2018, almost 3,000 km of magnetic surveys were performed with a rounding of the relief for various geological exploration tasks. The standard error in all papers exceeded all expectations and turned out to be less than 0.5 nT. Recently, an increasing number of companies are showing interest in new technologies, including geophysical surveys using the UAV. According to forecasts, soon magnetic prospecting with a UAV will considerably press the ground survey and even practically replace it.

Dear Former Patients of Dr. Doorley,
Dr. Doorley is officially informing you that she will be closing her medical practice at Fraser Street Medical Clinic on September 3rd 2021, as she is relocating outside of Canada.
At the time of writing, we have not found a replacement to take over her practice, but a search is underway. Dr. Doorley’s patients are welcome to continue to see her until she leaves, but we highly recommend that you begin looking for a new doctor, in case there is a delay in finding one to take her place. It is advisable that you find a new physician for future care as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the physicians at FSM do not have the capacity to accept new patients at this time. However, we do have 2 nurse practitioners, Patrick Teodosio and Timothy Kwok, who are accepting patients right away.
As well, the Pathways Medical Care website can be a helpful resource to begin searching for physicians accepting new patients. Many patients are able to find a new Primary Care Physician by working through a network of family and friends. Alternatively, you should also be aware that walk in clinics are obliged to provide longitudinal care to patients seen on an episodic basis but we truly recommend a full service family practice or NP practice for long term care.
Your medical records will remain at Fraser Street Medical Clinic, unless the clinic receives written authorisation from you to transfer them to another physician. Please note that there is a fee associated with the transfer of medical records.
Dr Eithne Doorley and FSM

Facebook CEO Addresses Bias against Conservatives
Share This article
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with a group of conservatives Wednesday to discuss how to better incorporate conservative views on the social network giant.
The meeting was held after allegations that Facebook has a bias against and suppresses conservative values. Some argue that conservative stories never make it into Facebook's "trending topics" section or on users' newsfeeds.
Zuckerberg met with conservative leaders at Facebook's headquarters in Menlo Park, California. Tea Party Patriots CEO Jenny Beth Martin, radio host Glenn Beck and American Enterprise Institute President Arthur Brooks were among the attendees.
"This afternoon I hosted more than a dozen leading conservatives to talk about how we can make sure Facebook continues to be a platform for all ideas across the political spectrum," Zuckerberg posted on Facebook after the meeting.
Rob Bluey, editor of The Daily Signal and meeting attendee, told Fox News that Facebook sees there is a bias problem.
"They certainly acknowledged that there was a problem with getting the message out to conservatives," Bluey said.
Zuckerberg says he wants Facebook to be a marketplace of diverse viewpoints.
"We've built Facebook to be a platform for all ideas. Our community's success depends on everyone feeling comfortable sharing anything they want. It doesn't make sense for our mission or our business to suppress political content or prevent anyone from seeing matters most important to them," he continued on his Facebook post.
Many of the attendees believe Zuckerberg is sincere about his statements despite shaky trust.
"There has been a serious issue of trust within the conservative movement about the issue, but everyone in that room, on both sides, wants to see it restored," Brent Bozell told Fox News.

Wittman, Brat Win GOP Primaries
U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman defeated Anthony Riedel in the 1st District GOP primary June 10.
The surprise was in the 7th District, where Tea Party favorite David Brat defeated U.S. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor. The New York Times called it, “one of the most stunning primary election upsets in congressional history.”
Ken Rudin said on Twitter:
Brat received 55.55 percent of the vote (36,110 votes) to Cantor’s 44.45 percent (28,898 votes), according to the Virginia Board of Elections.
Cantor did carry Spotsylvania, with 54.29 percent of the 3,579 total votes cast in the county.
Cantor is in his seventh term, and ran a $5.7 million campaign. Brat spent just over $200,000, according to the New York Times.
In the 1st District, Wittman received 76.20 percent of the votes (13, 293) to Riedel’s 23.80 percent (4,151).
Wittman will face Democrat Norm Mosher and Libertarian Xavian Draper in the November 2014 general election.
The 7th District race will be between Republican Brat, Democrat Jack Trammell, Libertarian James Carr and write-in candidate Mike Dickinson. Both Brat and Trammell are professors at Randolph Macon College in Ashland, Va.

Gion is Kyoto's famed Geisha District (called "Geiko" in Kyoto). Though Gion's many tea houses and entertainment restaurants are closed to foreigners, Geiko and Maiko in their traditional makeup with gilded hair in full kimono can be seen drifting the streets on their way to and from work, where they fan dance, sing, and play instruments for customers. Gion lights up at night, when the ancient-looking streets
glow with lanterns along the river, where weeping willows catch the starlight and the air is warmed with conversation. Groups pass through to populate the restaurants and bars along the riverfront, but Gion still manages to be a mostly quiet district, due in large part to limited automotive traffic through many of its streets. Gion is a wonderful place to indulge in Kyoto's local and customary cuisines, and is best enjoyed after dark.

Angry protesters have told US President Donald Trump there is “blood on your hands” as he visited the cities grieving from last weekend’s mass shootings.
Mr Trump met victims and first responders from last weekend’s deadly shootings in Texas and Ohio as chanting protesters accused him of inflaming tensions with anti-immigrant and racially charged rhetoric.
He and his wife, Melania, visited hospitals where victims were treated in El Paso, Texas, on the border with Mexico, and in Dayton, Ohio, after massacres 13 hours apart that shocked the US and reopened a national debate on gun safety.
In both cities, crowds of protesters gathered to confront Trump and condemn his visit. Some held signs reading “Trump is racist”, “Love over hate” and “Send him back”.
In Dayton, chanting crowds urged Mr Trump: “Do something!”
He and Mrs Trump avoided the media on both hospital visits and stayed out of public view.
They visited survivors in their hospital rooms at the University Medical Centre in El Paso and Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, and thanked the medical staff and first responders, White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham said.
“It was a warm and wonderful visit,” Mr Trump said on Twitter after leaving Dayton. “Tremendous enthusiasm & even Love.”
Mr Trump also visited law enforcement personnel in El Paso to thank them for their response on Saturday, when a man killed 22 people at a Walmart store, apparently after posting an anti-immigrant statement online.
In Dayton, nine people and the suspect were killed in a rampage early on Sunday.
“The job you have done is incredible,” Mr Trump told gathered officers. “I wanted to come and thank you.”
Mr Trump said he wanted to strengthen background checks for gun purchases and make sure mentally ill people did not carry guns. He predicted congressional support for those measures but not for Democratic efforts to ban assault rifles.
“I can tell you that there is no political appetite for that at this moment,” the President said at the White House.
“There is a great appetite, and I mean a very strong appetite, for background checks.”
Dayton Mayor Nan Whaley and US Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, both Democrats, accompanied Mr Trump in Dayton and urged him to call on Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell to bring the Senate back from recess to work on a House-passed bill that expands background checks on gun buyers.
Mayor Whaley said she agreed with Mr Trump’s decision not to visit the district where the shooting occurred, given the high emotions in the community.
“A lot of people that own businesses in that district are not interested in the President being there,” she said. “A lot of the time his talk can be very divisive and that’s the last thing we need in Dayton.”
Mr Trump later criticised the two Democrats for their comments, saying on Twitter that their news conference was “a fraud. It bore no resemblance to what took place”.
Protesters in Dayton also heckled Ohio’s Republican governor Mike DeWine at a vigil for the shooting victims, with chants of “do something”.
Americans remain on edge following the twin attacks. On Wednesday, a backfiring motorcycle in New York’s Times Square, which sounded like a gun shot, sent frantic people scrambling for cover while in Virginia, the headquarters of the USA Today newspaper was evacuated over reports of a man with a weapon in the building.
New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said “people are obviously very frightened”.
“You hear a noise, you run. That’s the state of this nation. We’re petrified,” he said.
The New York Police Department tweeted a reassurance after it received multiple 911 calls about the tumult on Tuesday night.
“There is no ActiveShooter in TimesSquare. Motorcycles backfiring while passing through sounded like gun shots,” the department said.
“Please don’t panic. The Times Square area is very safe!”
On Monday, Mr Trump gave a speech focusing on mental health reforms, tighter internet regulation and wider use of the death penalty.
Democrats accuse the President of hiding behind talk of mental illness and the influence of social media, rather than committing to laws they insist are needed to restrict gun ownership and the types of weapons that are legal.
The words of a president matter. They can move markets. They can send our brave men and women to war. They can bring peace.
And they can unleash the deepest, darkest forces in this nation — like Donald Trump has chosen to do.
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) August 7, 2019
Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden planned say in a campaign speech in Iowa that the US has a president with “a toxic tongue” who has embraced a political strategy of hate, racism, and division.
While Mr Trump was on his way to Texas, Mr Biden accused him of fanning “the flames of white supremacy”.
