By THE STAR STAFF While residents in Condado are trying to protect an area park against private interests, a com munity is enduring a similar battle to restore the El Banquillo park located in a high-elevation area of PR-143, a highway that runs from Ponce to Barranquitas.
The three-acre park was abandoned for 25 years. El Banquillo community spokesman Félix González told the STAR that the community has been trying to restore the park for two years to turn it into an “inclusive park” to be used by people with disabilities, to bring in local artisans and to hold musical concerts. The park has benches with messages such as “I just need an answer that frees me from the past,” and “One day I lost everything and recovered much more than I lost.”

The DNER “covered up murals, took away bathroom equipment and closed the park,” he said. The DNER also destroyed a vegetable garden and removed a swing, the community leader added.
The agency also planted pine trees in the area, a plant species that prevents the growth of other plants, he noted.

González said in response to a STAR question that the community informed the DNER about its plans to restore the park. “We told them that we are doing the job that they were supposed to do,” he said. Through the intervention of Villalba Mayor Luis Javier Hernández, the community is slated to meet with agency officials to try to reach an agreement.
Community hopes DNER proves an ally in restoring neglected park
González said he was told that the DNER said it was not trying to destroy the park, and even said Hernández was acting independently, but that he is doubtful of those remarks.
Over the past month, González said, a person from the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER) identified as Gerardo Hernández has “become an impediment” toward the project, destroying all of the repairs made by the community.
An El Banquillo community spokesman said residents have been trying to restore the three-acre park for two years to turn it into an “inclusive park” to be used by people with disabilities, to bring in local artisans and to hold musical concerts.
“The only certain fact, which according to attorney Boria deserves the punishment of $30,000, is that the PIP did not have protocols and regulations for its employees covered by Law 17, which is the Law on Sexual Harassment in Employment, and Law 90 of 2020, which is Workplace Harassment,” Santiago Negrón said. The complaint was leaked on Tuesday and contains the signature of Boria, the outgoing women’s advocate. The complaint was filed on Aug. 5, the day Boria resigned as women’s advocate to move to a position at the State Department.According to the document, the PIP is charged with an administrative fine of $10,000 for violating Law 17 of 1988, which requires employers to have a place free of harassment and a protocol for handling such cases.

“This is the first time that we have had a situation like this,” he said Earlier on Wednesday, DE Secretary Eliezer Ramos Parés refrained from providing specific details about the raid; however, he confirmed the investigation process and reiterated his cooperation with federal authorities.
“We do not know the information from this federal investigation, but what we are sure of is that at the end of the day those who suffer the consequences of these situations are our children and young people in the public education system,” Bonilla Sánchez said. “We must give the feds the space to continue investigating and when they express themselves and provide more information about this situation, we will be offering our position and opinion on the matter.”

“The information I have is that this intervention by the inspector general of the federal Department of Education is in the area of vocational education, partic ularly the area that manages the technological institutes of the department,” Pierluisi said at a press conference.
The origin and details of the investigation are as yet unknown because it is sealed.
Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) said Wednesday that the leaking of a harassment complaint by the Office of the Wom en’s Advocate, which includes three administrative fines against the PIP for a sum of $30,000, shows that the office’s review of the complaint was inconclusive. “If there had been the slightest evidence of harass ment, digital harassment, sexual harassment, Mrs. [former Women’s Advocate Lersy] Boria had ample opportunity to make determinations about that, because I repeat, the evidence was in her possession,” PIP Vice President María de Lourdes Santiago Negrón said at a press conference. “But since the evidence was so clear that they could not misrepresent that this had happened, that is why in that very long document there was no accusation of harassment or bullying,” she added. “What in effect constitutes that document signed on her last day by Lersy Boria is a confirmation of the findings and determination of the Special Commission in all substantive aspects of a corroboration of the correctness of the processes. We reiterate that with all the evidence in her hands, the un dersecretary of state was unable to reach any conclusion about the existence of bullying or harassment.”
“Regarding the raided property, the information I have is that he is an operations manager in that work area of the department,” the governor added. “He has a career position and he is going to proceed to relieve himself of his position while the investigation is carried out.”
Urrutia said Wednesday that the manager of the Technical Institutes Division of the island Department of Education’s (DE) Vocational Area, whose residence and office were raided by federal authorities early in the day, has been suspended from his position.
Teachers Association President Víctor Manuel Bo nilla Sánchez, meanwhile, said of the raids on Education facilities that “[i]t is unfortunate that once again the rep utation of the Department of Education is in question.”
Also, another fine of $10,000 is imposed for failing to comply with the public policy of Law 20 of 2001 to promote policies in favor of women, and the third fine, for $10,000, is for a violation of Law 90 of 2020 by not having a protocol or internal policies necessary to prevent, discourage and avoid workplace harassment.

Some 500 job openings will be available for different positions in the San Juan metropolitan area at a job fair to be held Friday by Caribbean Temporary Services (CTS) in Guaynabo.
“Ideally,meet.”the SNAP program and the SSI should be approved for Puerto Rico simultaneously,” the economist said.
If the rollover is approved, Puerto Rico would have to implement components of SNAP that currently don’t operate on the island, such as the SNAP Employment and Training program (SNAP E&T), the SNAP Nutritional Education program (SNAP-Ed) and Disaster SNAP.

a Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) Feasibility Study on the transition from the Nutrition Assistance Program (known locally by its Spanish acronym PAN) currently in effect in Puerto Rico to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) currently operating in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. territories of Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The Center for a New Economy (CNE) in its August publication evaluates the implications of such a transition and the possibility of implementing it in Puerto Rico. The Family Socioeconomic Development Administration (ADSEF by its Spanish acronym) manages PAN benefits and the qualification process. The agency administers the benefits for 800,000 families, roughly 1.2 million people, which is less than a third of the population of Puerto Rico. Poverty conditions, low local food production, and high tariffs on imported goods have made many people dependent on the monthly stipend. PAN benefits allow low-income people to obtain non-prepared food at prequalified stores and markets. To receive the benefits, a person has to provide proof of income and household composition, among other requirements, and wait about a month to get an answer from ADSEF. If they qualify, they receive a monthly stipend for food; a person with no dependents receives roughly $160 monthly. Economist Sergio M. Marxuach, who authored the analysis of the CNE study, summarized the main positive changes if the island implemented the SNAP program. Research by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that Puerto Rico would receive more money through SNAP, resulting in an additional 130,000 beneficiaries (a 9-12% increase) if they qualify. Among the benefits, funding for nutritional assistance has the potential to increase from $2.6 billion in fiscal year (FY) 2023 to $4.3 billion in FY 2031. It would increase consumer spending, benefiting the overall economy and employmentHowever,rates.there’s a downside to the change from PAN to SNAP.“Certain groups could lose eligibility and even their benefits,” Marxuach pointed out. “People over 60 who don’t receive the Supplemental Security Income [SSI, which is not available in Puerto Rico] could see their benefits dwindle.”
The CTS spokeswoman, Glenda Burgos, said the available positions are in call centers, in areas of customer service, production, warehouses, door-to-door sales and as drivers, as well as office and accounting positions and employment in the food and beverage industry at hotels.
“The government has been publicizing the additional benefits, but we’ll have to see how the transition goes given the fact that people over the age of 60 don’t get the SSI and, if they lose benefits, they would have to return to the workforce to make ends
Economist Sergio Marxuach of the Center for a New Economy
“The government believes this change could be done in between three and five years, depending on how fast Congress and the Puerto Rican Legislature act to make it viable,” he said. “However, it’s possible that everything stays the same … even though the government and Jenniffer González, the resident commissioner in Congress, are working on it. But first of all, it requires that the United States government change the law.”
Moving from PAN to SNAP could double benefits, change work & study requirements
Available positions are in call centers, in areas of customer service, production, warehouses, door-to-door sales and as drivers, as well as office and accounting positions and employment in the food and beverage industry at hotels.
“I think this change is important,” Marxuach continued.
“Also, university students who, under PAN, get 100% of the benefits even if enrolled full-time, could have to study part-time and work to qualify for SNAP, just like in the States,” the economist said. Other controversial changes include the implementation costs exceeding $400 million over a 10-year period even when the Financial Oversight and Management Board has been implementing budget cuts. Also, administering SNAP could cost between $249 and $414 million, although FNS would cover over half of that cost.
By THE STAR STAFF
However, Marxuach sees the change as positive on the whole.“More people qualify, and they could receive double the benefits they get now,” he said, citing a USDA study on the matter.SNAP will work the same if Congress approves the change for Puerto Rico, a transition that could take three to ten years.“We’ve seen a sharp rise in the prices of food items, not only because of the pandemic but also the war waged in Europe, and the costs of bringing food to Puerto Rico,” Marxuach said. “All of those conditions could taper under the SNAP benefits, but that needs federal and local legislation to temper the federal requisites with those of the local Family Department, and that can take some time.”

“For this event, we are requesting that the person arrive prepared to be interviewed and hired,” Burgos said in a written communication. Those interested in participating must go to the Sports Museum in Guaynabo and bring a resume, a valid photo ID or an original passport, a birth certificate or social security card, and a criminal record certificate (which can be obtained through https://servicios.pr.gov/, or in the nearest police station), a vaccination card and evidence of the last completed academic degree.

A safe room is a hardened structure specifically designed to meet FEMA criteria and provide near-ab solute protection in extreme wind events, including tornadoes and Near-absolutehurricanes.protection means that, based on current knowledge of tornadoes and hurricanes, the occupants of a safe room built in accordance with FEMA guidance will have a very high probability of being protected from injury or death. Funding for the safe rooms comes from the Haz ard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). The spaces, which can be anything from a room to an additional structure, resist winds of up to 160 to 235 miles per hour and provide almost absolute security in the event of a hurricane thanks to their reinforced construction.

Federal prosecutors to offer plea bargain to ex-Guaynabo mayor José Baquero, FEMA disaster recovery coordinator in Puerto Rico
Federal prosecutors are slated to make a plea bar gain to the defense attorneys representing former Guaynabo Mayor Ángel Pérez Otero and give him two weeks to decide whether to accept the offer or go to trial.Pérez Otero was arrested in December and charged with bribery, conspiracy to commit bribery and extortion as a public official, related to an alleged corruption scheme.The information came out during a status hearing on the case before federal judge Aida Delgado Colón, who presides over the case against Pérez Otero, who also was a president of the Puerto Rico Mayors Federation. Judge Delgado Colón instructed the prosecution to file the possible offer by Friday and granted the defense two weeks to evaluate it and make a counter offer. She agreed to hold another status hearing next month and set aside two weeks in the event that Pérez Otero does not accept the plea bargain. The federal prosecutor’s office and the ex-mayor’s legal counsel are slated to present five witnesses each.
The indictment against Pérez Otero said that be tween 2019 and 2021, he received money on a regular basis from a contractor in exchange for contracts with the municipality. The prosecution showed videos of him taking what appeared to be kickbacks. Pérez Otero’s arrest was part of a broad corrup tion scheme involving asphalt and garbage collection companies. If found guilty, Pérez Otero faces up to five years in prison on the charge of receiving kickbacks, up to 10 years in prison on the charge of conspiracy to commit bribery, and up to 20 years in prison on the extortion charge.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has approved $24.4 million to build 10 safe rooms to protect residents in eight Puerto Rico municipalities against the threat of hurricanes. The announcement was made by FEMA Disaster Recovery Coordinator José Baquero on Wednesday.
“Although we cannot prevent cyclonic activity, we can take measures that protect citizens, especially the most vulnerable populations,” Baquero said in a written statement. “The safe rooms are a definitive step in that direction.”
A72-year-old man was booked into prison on charges of lewd acts and child abuse on Wednes Accordingday. to a police report, the subject, a Juncos resi dent, committed the alleged acts in March 2020 against a minor under 8 years of age. Judge Juan León González of the Superior Court in Caguas determined cause for arrest and imposed a bail of $300,000, which the accused could not pay. The man was admitted to the Bayamón Correctional Institution until a preliminary hearing to be scheduled for a later date.

All rooms meet FEMA security parameters and will be located in areas accessible to citizens. The project covers the municipalities of Ceiba, Guayama, Las Marías, Orocovis, Peñuelas, Ponce, San Germán and San CommunityJuan. safe rooms are generally equipped with food, water, and emergency supplies for the people who will occupy it, although this varies ac cording to the size of the room or building and its intended use.

Trump and his aides have made clear that they were taken by surprise when the agents showed up at Mar-a-Lago with a search warrant Monday. A person with knowledge of the matter said the warrant was approved by a federal magistrate judge, Bruce Reinhart, a former federal prosecutor and defense lawyer. Magistrate judges are selected by district court judges, meaning that they are not political appointees. It is common for magistrates to review search warrant applications.
At the White House, President Joe Biden’s press secretary said he had no advance word of the decision to carry out the search, and at the Justice Department, Attorney General Merrick Garland maintained public silence about the momentous step. Despite Trump’s suggestions that an army of agents raided Mar-a-Lago and stormed through his home, the FBI conducted the search on a day when Trump was out of town and the club was closed. The agents carried out the search in a relatively low-key manner, people with knowledge of the matter said; by some accounts, they were not seen donning the conspicuous navy-blue jackets with the agency’s initials emblazoned on the back that are commonly worn when executing search warrants. Another person familiar with the search said agents be gan going through a basement storage unit, where items lsuch as beach chairs and umbrellas are kept. They progressed to

The archivists also discovered that Trump had not retur ned several documents that they believed the former president had in his possession. Around this time, the National Archives alerted the Justice Department that it was concerned about the handling of the classified documents, which are closely tracked by the government and are supposed to remain within secureBychannels.thisspring, the Justice Department had taken a range of steps that showed it was conducting an investigation into what happened with the classified documents, as prosecutors issued a subpoena to the National Archives to obtain the boxes and convened a grand jury, whose term was later extended past its initial expiration date.
Trump’s aides and allies intensified their criticism of the search Tuesday, calling it unnecessary and asserting, without citing any evidence, that it was a brazen use of prosecutorial power for political purposes. On his social media site Tuesday, Trump cast the search as part of “a coordinated attack” that also includes local and state prosecutors, alluding to investi gations into him being carried out in Georgia and New York.
The National Archives, whose mission is to preserve government documents, determined last year that many im portant presidential documents that archivists knew existed were missing and believed to be in Trump’s possession.
In an interview Tuesday with the right-wing channel Real America’s Voice, Bobb said she and other Trump lawyers had been “extremely cooperative” with the FBI during a previous visit when agents were given “free access” to the building.
In January, an official for the National Archives flew to Florida and retrieved 15 boxes of documents, gifts and other government property. When archivists went through the boxes, they found several documents containing sensitive national security information, including some marked classified.
Christina Bobb, a lawyer and aide to Trump who said she received a copy of the search warrant, told one interviewer that the agents were looking for “presidential records or any possibly classified material.”
The FBI left behind a detailed manifest of all the mate rials that were removed, according to a person familiar with the investigation.
The warrant was obtained by prosecutors with the Justice Department’s national security division, which at the request of the National Archives has been leading the investigation into whether the materials were improperly removed and stored, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.
FBI search of Trump’s home pushes long conflict into public view
On one side were officials from the National Archi ves, which is responsible for making sure all presidential records are preserved according to the law, and the Justice Department, which some people familiar with the inquiry said had grown concerned about the whereabouts of possible classified information and whether Trump’s team was being fully forthcoming.Ontheother was Trump, who, in apparent contravention of the Presidential Records Act, had taken a trove of material, including sensitive documents, with him to his home at Mar-aLago when he left the White House — and then, in the Justice Department’s view, had failed to fully comply with requests that he return the disputed material. After the investigation bubbled along largely out of public view for months, word that agents had arrived early Monday at the gates of Mar-a-Lago with a search warrant raised new questions about Trump’s vulnerability to prosecution and fueled further partisan division.
Discussions were held within the White House by top staff members about how to get Trump to surrender his boxes, people familiar with the events said; it is unclear whether Trump was ever asked directly or officials simply did not discuss the issue with him. When he left the White House, Trump took the boxes with him to Mar-a-Lago, packed with paperwork including letters from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the former president’s “Sharpie-gate” map of the path of a hurricane, along with personal items such as golf balls and a rain coat and various other things stuffed in them.
his office, which was built for him on the second floor of the main house, where they cracked a hotel-style safe that was said by two people briefed on the search to contain nothing of consequence to the agents. Then they moved to Trump’s residence, the person said. Ultimately, they removed a number of boxes of docu ments, people familiar with the search said. It is not clear what the agents were looking for or what they took. Nor is it clear whether the search was carried out simply to ensure that the documents and other material were properly turned over to the archives or whether it was a possible precursor to a prosecution of Trump for mishandling classified material or obstructing efforts to get it back. Throughout his presidency, Trump was disdainful of record-preservation laws and was known to tear up docu ments and in some cases to flush them down toilets. It is not clear whether he sought to hold on to material sought by the archives and the Justice Department to keep it away from public scrutiny or for some other reason.
Former President Donald Trump arrives before speaking at a rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin on Aug. 2, 2022. Trump has been considering an unusually early announcement for his expected third presidential campaign.
By the end of his presidency, and as Trump was fighting to overturn his election loss, some of his aides were concer ned with preserving the work of the office itself. His habit of transporting material around in cardboard boxes, with either a personal aide or a valet carrying them, was well known, but the contents were not always clear.
The search carried out earlier this week by the FBI at former President Donald Trump’s Florida home, a law enforcement action with explosive legal and political implications, was the culmination of a lengthy conflict between a president proud of his disdain for rules and officials charged with protecting the nation’s records and secrets.
Investigators began contacting possible witnesses, including Molly Michael, an assistant to Trump, signaling that they were seeking information from people close to the former president. A lawyer for Michael declined to comment.
During the spring, a group of federal investigators, including the Justice Department’s top counterintelligence official, Jay Bratt, traveled to Mar-a-Lago. Trump met with them briefly, and lawyers for Trump were present.
Two other members — Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York and Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts — did not draw any primary opponents this cycle. A sixth member, Rep. Jamaal Bowman of New York, is facing three primary challengers later this month.
The 10th House Republican who voted to impeach the for mer president, Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, has her primary next week on Aug. 16. She has long stopped seeing the election as a test of political survival, and is instead using it as a way to make her case against Trump and restore a party that she sees as “very sick.”
Omar’s victory against Samuels makes her the third member of the “squad” to beat back primary challengers. The other two were Reps. Cori Bush of Missouri and Rashida Tlaib of Michigan.
The electoral contest is likely to be one of the most con sequential in the country. Evers, who has cast himself as a defender of fair elec tions, has vetoed more than a dozen state bills that would have restricted voting. Michels has pushed the false notion that the 2020 election can still be decertified and has pledged to abolish the state’s elections commission.

Another Republican impeacher will not return to Congress. Of the 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump, the fate of all but one is now sealed. Four declined to seek another term, two others survived their primaries and three have lost.
In Washington state, Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, who sharply criticized Trump’s actions leading up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, became the third House Republican to lose, after she conceded her race with a statement on Tuesday. “I’m proud that I always told the truth, stuck to my principles, and did what I knew to be best for our country,” she said.
Don Samuels, a former Minneapolis city councilman and school board member, lost by two percentage points in a hardfought race in Minnesota’s 5th Congressional District. Samuels ran as a centrist who challenged her on policing issues. He had the support of some of the Democratic establishment and Mayor Jacob Frey of Minneapolis.
The ‘squad’ remains intact. Rep. Ilhan Omar, one of the most prominent lawmakers in Congress, survived her Democratic primary in Minnesota as she seeks a third term, making her the latest member of the progres sive group known as the “squad” to defend her seat this year.

The day after FBI agents searched his home in Mar-a-Lago, former President Donald Trump yet again illustrated his electoral pull on the Republican Party. In a series of primaries in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Vermont and Connecticut on Tuesday — and in a newly conceded race from last week’s election in Washington state — Trump’s can didates scored victories and his enemies drew defeats, with a notableRepublicanexception.voters in Wisconsin and Minnesota elevated a slate of nominees who have peddled baseless claims of fraud over the 2020 presidential election, setting up high-stakes battles in the fall over the future of fair elections in critical battleground states. And in Connecticut, the Trump-backed Senate candidate Leora Levy trounced a moderate Republican, Themis Klarides. Here are five takeaways. One of the country’s pivotal races for governor takes shape. Tony Evers, Wisconsin’s Democratic governor, was always going to be in trouble. He was facing a prospective showdown against either Tim Michels, a millionaire construction magnate endorsed by Trump, or Rebecca Kleefisch, the state’s lieutenant governor who had the backing of former Vice President Mike Pence. On Tuesday night, Evers learned his Republican rival would be Michels, the latest victor of the power struggle across the country between Trump Republicans and establishment Republicans. Michels might not be the best onstage, but he has money to pour into his race. And he could go after not only Evers but
Michels has campaigned on being tough on crime. On Tuesday, that stance did not apply to the former president. He called the search of Trump’s Florida home an “overzealous pros ecution” and dismissed the possibility that Trump could have committed a crime. Trump fever has not quite broken. Robin Vos, the speaker of the Wisconsin Assembly, came within a whisker of losing on Tuesday to a candidate with little name recognition, all thanks to a Trump endorsement. The near miss for Vos, the most powerful Republican in Wisconsin politics, shows just how crucial that endorsement can be in the land of cheese and election rejection. The race between Vos and Adam Steen in the Republican primary for a Wisconsin Assembly seat was tighter than virtu ally any Wisconsin analysts predicted, though Vos is an 18-year incumbent who has been speaker for a decade and who grew up in the district. Steen is an Indiana native who had no paid advertising beyond a small bit of mailings, but he had Trump’s backing and a claim that he would work to take back the state’s 10 Electoral College votes from 2020, a legal impossibility. Steen’s far-right views extended well beyond election denialism. In an interview, he also said he would seek to make contraception illegal in Wisconsin. A ray of hope for Democrats. In a state where the last two presidential elections were won by razor-thin margins, Democrats in Wisconsin have some cause for Someoptimism.ofthathas to do with sweeping legislation, cover ing climate change and prescription drug prices, which is on pace to pass by November. Some of it has to do with the energy galvanizing Democratic voters over abortion rights. And some of it, in Wisconsin, has to do with Mandela Barnes, the state’s lieutenantBarnesgovernor.—aformer community organizer from Milwaukee — won the Democratic nomination in a Senate race to take on the Republican incumbent, Sen. Ron Johnson. Barnes’ victory sets up a heated general election race that could help decide control of the Senate. Barnes, Wisconsin’s first Black lieutenant governor, would be its first Black senator if he were to win.
Wisconsin Republicans’ other favorite target, President Joe Biden. It was Biden who canceled the contract to build the Keystone XL pipeline, which Michel’s firm was supposed to build.
Five takeaways from Tuesday’s elections
One test for Barnes will be whether he can increase his fundraising levels. He is entering the general election with nearly $1 million cash on hand, according to the latest federal election filings. For Johnson, that number was more than $2 million.
days, the news that someone might be killing Muslim men in Albuquerque spread fear among the city’s Muslim residents, some of whom were so afraid of becoming the next target that they fled town or hunkered down in their homes. On Tuesday, police said they had arres ted a man who was himself Muslim and who may have targeted at least two of the victims because he was angry that his daughter had married a man from the other major branch of Islam.Police said that the man, Muhammad Syed, 51, would be charged in two of the killings and that he was a suspect in the other two deaths.Ahmad Assed, president of the Islamic Center of New Mexico, a mosque that at least three of the victims had attended, said he understood that authorities were looking at the possibility that the suspect was a Sunni Muslim who may have been motivated by resentment over a marriage to a Shiite Muslim. He and police cautioned that details remained sparse, and Assed noted that at least one of the victims was Sunni. Police officials said that they were not yet sure if a dispute over a marriage was the sole motive but said that they were aware of it and had found evidence that an “interpersonal conflict” may have led to the shootings. Chief Harold Medina of the Albuquerque Police Department said that it was not yet appropriate to label the shootings as either hate crimes or serialSeveralkillings.hundred people attended a vigil for the victims at the mosque Tuesday evening. Muslim leaders, as well as Roman Catholic, Jewish, Sikh and Mennonite residents spoke about the losses absorbed by Albuquerque’s Muslim“Thecommunity.lasttwoweeks have been nothing but nightmares,” said Tahir Gauba, a direc tor of the mosque. Referring to the arrest of the suspect, he added, “Tonight the Muslim community will sleep in peace.” Police in Albuquerque first disclosed Thursday that three killings between Nov ember and this month could be linked. The next day, a fourth Muslim man who worked as a truck driver was shot and killed in his car, raising further alarms in a city where many refugees and immigrants said they had long felt safe. As word spread, authorities received tips about the suspect and a possible vehicle linked to one of the killings. As police offi cers prepared to execute a search warrant at Syed’s home Monday, he drove away in that same vehicle, Kyle Hartsock, a police depu ty commander, said at a news conference. Officers stopped and arrested him near Santa Rosa, New Mexico, about 115 miles east of Albuquerque.Hartsock said police found several guns at Syed’s home and one in the car he was driving, and believed two of the weapons were connected to the killings of one man July 26 and another Aug. 1. He said police were continuing to run tests on other firearms they had recovered and believed Syed may have also been involved in two additional killings, one in November and the truck driver Friday. Syed had emigrated from Afghanistan and lived in Albuquerque for five or six years, Hartsock said.

For years, authorities in Albuquerque had sought to shape the city into a haven for immigrants. Hundreds of refugees from Afghanistan have settled in the city over the past year, since the withdrawal of the U.S. military in that country. The latest killings come as Albuquerque has been upended by a harrowing spike in gun violence, with the city on pace to see more homicides this year than any other on record. Police said Syed would be immediately charged in two of the killings: Muhammad Afzaal Hussain, 27, who moved from Pakistan to attend the University of New Mexico and had become president of its graduate student association before going into city planning; and Aftab Hussein, 41, who worked at a local cafe.Naeem Hussain, the 25-year-old who was killed Friday, had started his own truc king business and become a U.S. citizen just weeksTheearlier.recent killings were preceded by the fatal shooting in November of Moham mad Ahmadi, 62, a Muslim immigrant from Afghanistan, who was attacked outside the grocery store that he owned with his brother.

Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government — he brings an analytical bent that tends toward shades of gray, not the colorful vernacular of political denunciation. Yet, Biden has handed him a resolutely populist mis sion: Apply force to remedy what the president describes as a “rip-off” of American consumers. Maffei smells foul play in the fees that ocean carriers levy on American importers — so-called detention and de murrage charges for containers that sit uncollected or go unreturned, even when truck drivers are denied access to ports; congestion surcharges; and fees for “premium” and even “superpremium” services.
The White House has seized on these two realities — soaring prices and record profits for carriers. “One of the reasons prices have gone up is because a handful of companies who control the market have raised shipping prices by as much as 1,000%,” President Joe Biden declared on Twitter in June. “It’s outrageous — and I’m ca lling on Congress to crack down on them.” Days later, he signed into law the Ocean Shipping Reform Act, which is engineered to bolster the maritime commission’s authority.

“Our port is gridlocked,” said Tom Heimgartner, chair of the Association of Bi-State Motor Carriers, which repre sents local trucking firms. “It’s an emergency. We need so mething done Traditionally,here.”truckers have been reluctant to file cases for fear of angering the carriers. Perhaps the atmosphere of contempt had changed that calculation. “It sounds like they are treating you like such dirt,” Maffei said. “I’m not sure you have anything to lose.”

Members of his staff detailed the new law, section by section. They are investigating reports of noncompliance by ocean carriers while recruiting enforcement staff. “This is the law of the land,” Maffei said. “If you have a complaint about it, we can direct you to the Congress or the White House.”

The Ocean Shipping Reform Act — vigorously sought by Maffei — details an unambiguous plan of attack.
The next week, under a pounding summer sun, Ma ffei arrived at the port administration building in Newark as tractor-trailers rumbled by, hauling clattering containers to and from the docks. Inside a conference room, he walked a slow turn around a long table, shaking the hands of the dozen people assembled, the heads of local trucking companies.
Nine container shipping carriers — all of them fore ign companies — dominate the market for moving goods between Asia and North America. For more than a year, the industry has been besieged by chaos, from traffic jams choking ports to a shortage of truck drivers impeding efforts to move cargo. With containers stuck on ships and stacked on docks, shortages and rising prices have become central features of these times. The ocean carriers have multiplied their shipping rates and imposed a bewildering assortment of fees. The con tainer shipping industry is on track to make $300 billion in profits before taxes and interest, according to Drewry, an industry research firm.

He worked as a local television reporter be fore going to Washington, D.C., to work for Sens. Bill Brad ley and Daniel Patrick Moynihan, followed by a stint on the staff of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. In the summer of 2015, having lost his bid for reelec tion, Maffei found himself casting about for the next phase of his career. He did not want to be a lobbyist. He approa ched friends in the Obama administration seeking counsel. They told him about an open seat on a commission. His ears pricked up. The Consumer Product Safety Com mission? That could be interesting. No, they told him, the Federal Maritime Commission. “I said, ‘Well, OK, I think I’ve heard of them,’ ” Maffei said. “‘I’m already ahead of the game.’”
On a recent morning, Maffei entered the commission’s offices just before 9, wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap and a brown polo shirt. He rode the elevator to the 10th floor and entered his capacious suite, which is adorned with models of giant container ships and antique maritime clocks. He changed into a dark-blue suit and a tie decorated with a maritime anchor pattern.
The commission regulates the international shipping industry at American ports, an element of modern life that is typically ignored but has emerged as a reason major retai lers are short of popular goods, and why people renovating homes are waiting months for doorknobs.

It commands an annual budget of just $32 million, even as the agency is now tasked with taking on a collection of ocean carriers whose profits exceed 9,000 times that amount.
For a market plagued by fears about the Fed’s struggles to tame sky-high inflation, the July consumer price index brought a sigh of relief -- with both core and overall mea sures coming in below forecasts. Swaps are now suggest ing a move of 50 basis points as more likely in September than a repeat of the 75-basis-point increases that officials have opted to implement at their past two meetings.
“The Fed will be looking at today’s number with a sigh of relief. But it is not enough to convince them to take their foot off the brakes. The Fed still has significantly further to tighten and the US economy ultimately cannot avoid its fate. Enjoy today and the next few weeks, it won’t last for too long,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Global Investors. “The market is now pricing in a 50 basis point move at the September meeting and equities are responding in kind. This data point will fuel talk of a policy pivot. But, for me, the issue really does boil down to the labor market. Wage growth is running red hot and absent a turn around in productivity, this will ultimately fuel higher prices,” Neil Dutta, head of economics at Renaissance Macro Re search.“This is a step in the right direction but keep in mind we have many miles ahead of us before inflation nor malizes.

The Kremlin-installed leader of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said Wednesday that 252 people had been relocated to shelters be cause of damage to their homes.

At least one person was killed and more than a dozen others wounded, offi cials said.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said in a sta tement that the explosion was caused by the detonation of stockpiled ordnance for warplanes at the base. While the minis try offered no speculation about whether Ukrainian forces might have been involved, a decision by Aksyonov to raise the terro rist threat level to yellow suggested that officials were concerned about security on the peninsula.“Thismeasure is exclusively prophylac tic because the situation in the region is un der full control,” Aksyonov said Tuesday.

Tally of damage near Crimean air base contradicts Kremlin’s assertions
R ussian forces killed at least 13 civilians and wounded 11 others in an overnight missile attack in southern Ukraine, a senior Ukrainian military official said Wed nesday, in an escalation of fighting around a key nuclear power plant held by Moscow. The Russians used Grad missiles in the attack on the Niko pol district, across the Dnieper River from the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, said the head of the Dnipropetrovsk military administration, Valentyn Reznichenko. He said that Russians had fired 80 rockets on residential neighborhoods, causing damage to apartment blocks, administrative buil dings and infrastructure, and leaving 1,000 people without gas. Russian forces launched a “deliberate and insidious strike when people were sleeping in their homes,” Rezni chenko wrote on the Telegram social messaging app. He said that 10 residents were hospitalized, seven of whom were in serious condition. In recent weeks, Russia has reinforced its positions in Kherson province, which borders Dnipropetrovsk, and tar geted a series of missile attacks there and on nearby pro vinces. According to Ukrainian officials, those attacks have included shellfire directed at Nikopol from the Zaporizhzhia plant, which Russian forces seized in March soon after inva ding Ukraine in February.
It was not clear whether the overnight attack had come from the grounds of the nuclear plant. On Saturday, rocket fire struck a dry spent-fuel storage facility at the plant itself. Ukraine and Russia blamed each other for the episode, which prompted the head of the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, Rafael Mariano Grossi, to express “grave con cern” and renew his appeals for a formal inspection of the plant.The Ukrainian authorities, as well as independent mili tary and nuclear experts, say that the transformation of the plant, the largest in Europe, into a combat zone is almost without precedent. They also say that Russia’s use of the site as a base from which to launch attacks offers a tactical advantage, given that it is extremely difficult for Ukraine to return fire without imperiling the plant’s reactors.
D amage from a series of explosions at a Russian air base in Crimea appea red to be greater than the Kremlin has described, as officials on the Russia-occupied peninsula Wednesday declared a state of emergency and said that dozens of nearby homes and commercial structures had been hit.
After the explosions Tuesday, which a se nior Ukrainian military official said were the work of Ukrainian forces, Russia’s Defense Ministry moved quickly to play down the ex tent of the damage, saying no equipment had been destroyed and no casualties reported.
The blasts are potentially important be cause any Ukrainian attack on Russian forces in the Crimean Peninsula would be a signifi cant expansion of Ukraine’s offensive efforts. Until now, Ukrainian forces have largely fo cused on pushing Russian troops back from territories occupied after Feb. 24, when their invasionUkrainebegan.possesses few weapons that can reach the peninsula, aside from aircraft that would risk being shot down immediately by Russia’s heavy air defenses in the region. The air base, which is near the city of Novofe dorivka, is about 200 miles from the nearest Ukrainian military position. Videos verified and reviewed by the Times showed that a plume of smoke was rising from the air base just before at least three explosions: two in quick succession and a third a few moments later. It is un clear from the videos what caused the blasts. The senior Ukrainian official would not disclose whether the local resistance forces, known as partisans, carried out the attack or assisted Ukrainian military units in targeting the base, as has sometimes oc curred in other Russia-occupied territories. To reach targets deep behind enemy lines, Ukraine has increasingly turned to guerrillas in those territories, officials said. Partisans have, for instance, helped Ukra inian forces target Russian bases and am munition depots in the Kherson region, Ukrainian officials say.

Russian missile attack kills 13, Ukrainian official says Destroyed Russian Army rocket launchers in Kharkiv, Ukraine, on Friday.
Damage to the base itself was harder to assess, but one video that emerged in the af termath, and that was verified by The New York Times, showed the charred nose cone of a fighter jet, its fuselage a black, shapeless mass. Although Ukraine has not officially taken responsibility for the explosions, a senior Ukrainian military official said Wednesday that Ukraine’s special forces — along with local partisan resistance fighters loyal to the government in Kyiv — were behind the blasts. The explosions set off fireballs that startled beachgoers at a nearby Black Sea resort. The official said the air base, Saki, on the western coast of Crimea, has been regularly used by Russian warplanes that have attacked Ukrainian forces in southern Ukraine. Spea king on the condition of anonymity to discuss delicate military matters, the official would not disclose the type of weapon used in the attack, saying only that “a device exclusively of Ukrainian manufacture was used.”

A Russian trench came into view. But the signal went down again. Out of battery, he guided the drone back, catching it in the air with one hand, then pulling the detonator from the grenade. Such flights are repeated several times a day. Drones are a significant bright spot for the Ukrainian army. Russia has an effecti ve observation drone, the Orlan-10, used to direct artillery fire at Ukrainian targets, but no effective, long-range strike drone akin to the Bayraktar — a notable shortcoming for a major military power. Russian troops also fly consumer drones but have fewer of them, Ukrainian soldiers say. The Russian army instead leans on blunt force, deploying legacy heavy weaponry like artillery and tanks, and has been less nimble in adapting consumer technology to the batt lefield. It also lacks the flow of small com mercial drones donated by nongovernmental groups and even relatives and friends of sol diers that have poured to Ukrainian frontline units.Mazhulenko’s steady hand notwithstan ding, rigging a hobby drone to drop explosi ves is a nerve-wracking task. Preparing the grenade to explode at its target requires dismantling safety features. On the most common type of grenade used by Ukrainian drone operators, three safety devi ces, including a small metal plate protecting the firing pin from accidentally striking the primer, are taken out and thrown away. This is done with hacksaws and pliers in workshops. Accidents have happened, said Taras Ch yorny, a drone armorer working in Kyiv, re calling colleagues who had lost fingers while handling the grenades. He has experimented with various makeshift detonators and sett led on a nail molded into Play-Doh kneaded into the shape of a nose cone. The downside: the grenade might explode if dropped while handling.“It’sbetter to do it in an atmosphere that is calm” he said of the tinkering.
“Come on, come on, Raccoon, drop it,” Mazhulenko’s comrades urged, watching the screen over his shoulder. The radio crackled from another Ukra inian position that heard the buzzing, and Mazhulenko’s group radioed back not to wo rry — it is “our mosquito.”
After Russia invaded, the United States and European allies donated strike and ob servation drones to Ukraine, including the Switchblade, an American munition that ho vers over a battlefield until a tank or other target comes into view, then dives down to blow it up. Out in the fields and tree lines of eastern Ukraine, drones have become ubiquitous on the Ukrainian side, outnumbering, soldiers say, Russia’s arsenal of pilotless craft. Drones have almost wholly replaced reconnaissance patrols and are used daily to drop ordnance. The Ukrainians call the drones buzzing back and forth over no-man’s-land “mosqui toes.” And on a recent, sweltering summer afternoon at a position dug into a tree line of oak and acacia, a drone strike was the only military action, other than distant artillery shelling. “You don’t always find personnel, but you can hit trenches or equipment,” Mazhu lenko said as he sent the drone off to find a target. The battery allows it to hover for about 10 minutes.Mazhulenko’s controller beeped. Russian electronic countermeasures had jammed the drone’s signal. On autopilot, the drone tried to fly back to the Ukrainian position. The pri vate regained control and sent it toward Rus sian lines again.
The end result is a black tube, like a fat cigar. The Ukrainians glue on aerodynamic fins — sometimes made from a 3-D printer — to cause the grenade to drop straight down, improving accuracy. At the front, pilots such as Mazhulenko arm and rig the grenade befo re each flight. The grenade is carried on a commercial accessory designed for dropping items, such as water balloons or small packages for drone deliveries. The drop is activated by pressing a button to turn on the drone’s landing light. Small adaptations to tactics, designs of the explosive, flight patterns and launch and retrieval have all improved over the past five months, according to a commander in an Azov unit that flies drones, who used the nic kname Botsman. “There’s a boom in experimentation,” he said. With the risk of drones buzzing over their positions at any time, he said, Russian soldiers, “cannot eat and cannot sleep. The stress leads them to make mistakes.”
One of the larger workshops in Kyiv, called Dronarnia, takes orders online from military officers seeking customized drones, some large enough to drop 18-pound bombs. The group is financed by crowdsourced do nations. Other workshops have raffled off kit chenware to raise money. Ukrainian officials have been flaunting their drone advantage. The country’s deputy minister of digital transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, hosted a presentation in Kyiv last week of what he called the “army of drones,” showing off an array of donated craft. It included the Fly Eye 3, a state-of-theart reconnaissance drone donated by a Polish special operations team and hobby drones of various types donated by people around the world wanting to support Ukraine, including children. All would be sent to the front to fight the Russians, Fedorov said. A nongovernmental group, Frontline Care, came up with the idea of selling mes sages on the 6-pound bombs dropped by the Punisher drone. A website allows clients to pay by credit card and enter a message.

A private in the Ukrainian army unfolded the rotors of a common hobby drone and, with practiced calm, attached a grenade to a device that can drop objects and was designed for commercial drone delive ries. After takeoff, the private, Bohdan Mazhu lenko, who goes by the nickname Raccoon, sits casually on the rim of a trench, as green fields pocked with artillery craters scroll by on his tablet. “Now we will try to find them,” he said of theForRussians.years,the United States has deployed drones in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Turkish drones played a decisive role in fighting between Azerbaijan and Armenia in 2020.But these were large, expensive wea pons. Ukraine, in contrast, has adapted a wide array of small craft ranging from quadrocopters, with four rotors, to midsized fixedwing drones, using them to drop bombs and spot artillery targets. Ukraine still uses advanced military drones supplied by its allies for observation and attack, but along the frontline the bulk of its drone fleet are off-the-shelf products or hand-built in workshops around Ukraine — a myriad of inexpensive, plastic craft adapted to drop grenades or anti-tank munitions. It’s part of a flourishing corner of innova tion by Ukraine’s military, which has seized on drone warfare to counter Russia’s advanta ge in artillery and tanks. Makeshift workshops experiment with 3D printed materials, and Ukrainian coders have made workarounds for electronic countermeasures the Russians use to track radio signals. The fixed-wing Punis her, a high-end military drone manufactured in Ukraine, can strike from more than 30 mi les away.Ukraine has long embraced drone war fare to try to achieve a technological edge as it fought as an underdog against Russianbacked separatists in the war in the country’s east. Before Russia’s invasion in February, Ukraine’s military bought Turkish-made Ba yraktar TB2 drones, the most lethal pilotless craft in the country’s arsenal. In a sign of ap preciation, one Ukrainian woman named her baby boy Bayraktar. In a bit of innovative marketing that earns some money, too, the Ukrainian com pany that makes the Punisher drone allows people to pay about $30 to send a written message on the bombs it drops. The ploy taps into people’s anger at Russia, said Ye vhen Bulatsev, a founder of the company, UA Dynamics, which donates the drones to the military.Among the more popular messages, he said, are names of killed friends, hometowns lost to occupation, or people’s own names along with a note saying “hello from.” “A lot of people want to express hard fee lings,” he said. “It’s quite a good thing. It helps people psychologically.”
In an open field on the outskirts of Kyiv, Ukrainian men practice attaching a mock bomb to the undercarriage of a Ukrainian-developed unmanned aircraft called the Punisher UAV last month.

Over the years, Seoul has offered to help those living in such basement apartments, providing them with pumps and other equipment to fight floods. It has also renovated sewer systems in lowlying districts to help drain rainwater more quickly.

They build small dikes with sandbags around their homes. When the floodwa ter recedes, they put their clothing and furniture in alleyways to dry. In a survey in 2020, more than half of the 500 semiunderground households in two districts in Siheung, just southwest of Seoul, repor ted their homes submerged in rainwater. “When I returned home from work, I found my banjiha under water,” a semiunderground dweller wrote on the South Korean web portal Naver on Tuesday. “It felt as if heaven had crashed down on me.”On Tuesday, when President Yoon Suk-yeol visited the neighborhood where the family of three died, their home was still filled with waist-high floodwater. Pi llows, furniture and plastic bags floated inside. Yoon had to squat on the street outside to look down into the home through the street-level window. The neighborhood was strewn with bags of garbage, rain-damaged furniture and electronics that families dragged out of their basement homes.
At 4:40 p.m. Monday, the 13-yearold girl texted her 72-year-old grandmother who was in the hos pital, wishing her well and saying that she was praying for her quick recovery.
Four hours later, floods triggered by one of South Korea’s heaviest rainfalls gus hed down the steps into the three-room, semi-underground home in southern Seoul where the teenager had lived with her mother, 47, and her aunt, 48. The family had moved into the house seven years ago. They knew the low-lying district was prone to flooding, but it was cheap and close to a government welfare center where the aunt, who had Down syndrome, could get help.
“The water filled the house so quickly we couldn’t do anything about it,” Jeon Ye-sung, 52, a neighbor, told reporters. Jeon rushed home Monday evening after his daughter told him on the pho ne that the water was gushing through the windows into their own semi-under ground home. He broke the windows to rescue his three daughters. But he and another neighbor could not reach his neighbors. By the time rescue officials pumped the water out early Tuesday, they found the family of three dead. South Korea’s urban poor often live in banjiha, or semi-underground homes. The flood hazard of these underground homes was dramatically depicted in the South Korean movie “Parasite,” which be came the first foreign-language movie to win the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2020.One of the nine dead was a woman in her 50s who also lived in a semi-under ground home in Seoul. She fled the flood water but returned to her home to rescue her cat and didn’t make it out alive.

The heavy rainfalls that struck the Seoul metropolitan area from Monday until early Wednesday left six people missing and at least nine dead, including the family of three, highlighting the pre dicament of South Korea’s urban poor as well as the country’s housing crisis and growing inequality.
‘We couldn’t do anything’: Family drowns in Seoul basement during floods
The water rolled down with such for ce that the family could not push their only door open, according to neighbors and emergency officials. The girl’s mother banged on the door and called her neigh bors for help. The neighbors called the government’s 119 emergency response hotline on the family’s behalf, but so many flood victims were dialing in that their calls did not go through.

Alex Jones’ moment of truth doesn’t matter nearly enough
The San Juan Daily Star Thursday, August 11, 2022 15
Jones was ordered to pay more than $4 million in compensatory damages and $45.2 million in punitive damages to Lewis and Neil Heslin, the parents of Jesse Lewis, shot to death at age 6. Jesse was among the 20 young children and six educators slain that day at Sandy Hook. Heslin had wept on the stand as he described his son’s final moments.
These are depressing questions to have to ask, but they’re not difficult to answer.

By PAMELA PAUL In America’s clash between information and disinformation, the facts just won a rare round: Alex Jones has conceded that the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 14, 2012, which he had repeatedly told millions of readers of his alt-right website Infowars was “a hoax” perpetrated by “actors,” was, in point of fact, “100% real.”He told this truth last week on the witness stand in a defamation lawsuit, but only after lying multiple times under oath and only after failing to produce documents and to testify at earlier trials. He told this truth only after the plaintiffs’ lawyer revealed that Jones’ lawyer had inadvertently emailed him several hundred gigabytes’ worth of data, including some of Jones’ cellphone records, suggesting that Jones had perjured himself on the stand, apparently lying even about his own lies and knowingly withholding crucial evidence in defamation lawsuits brought against him. Jones told the truth only after being confronted face to face in the courtroom by Scarlett Lewis, one of the many grieving parents of children killed at Sandy Hook, who said of her son to Jones, “Jesse was real. I am a real mom.”
This marks the first time Jones has been financially penalized for his yearslong disinformation campaign about Sandy Hook, a charade that helped earn him up to $800,000 a day. And he will no doubt pay more in at least two other cases pending. It was also the first time Jones acknowledged the truth of what happened in Newtown.Thisvindication of the truth, though gratifying, raises three disquieting questions: First, does a single truth badgered out of a serial liar matter? Second, does Jones’ apology, elicited only with his sweaty back pinned against the wall, mean anything? And third, will his admission or his apology have any effect in a mediasphere in which a single lie can quickly metastasize into an intractable web of falsehoods?
As for the second question, nothing about Jones’ apology merits forgiveness. He threw out a flimsy excuse, saying he’d suffered “a form of psychosis.” He emitted a meager note of contrition, a nonapology to outdo nonapologies, constructed in the “mistakes were made” patois of our times: “I unintentionally took part in things that did hurt these people’s feelings, and I’m sorry for Unremorseful,that.” mediated, bloodless. It was the one thing he said on the stand with total lack of conviction. The third question — what kind of effect did the day’s events have on Jones and the distorted world he’s helped build? — has an equally bleak answer. Only hours after the jury’s decision, Jones, who once described himself to The New York Times’ Elizabeth Williamson as a victim of a “media conspiracy,” skulked back onto his radio program — according to one metric, the 42nd most popular radio show/podcast in the country, just behind “Planet Money” and ahead of “Pod Save America.” There, he disparaged the day’s legal proceedings as an “attack” by “globalists,” promising listeners, “I will go down fighting.” In fluent doublespeak, he called the decision “a major victory for truth.”Which truth? Confronting Jones in court, Scarlett Lewis had said, “Truth, truth is so vital to our world. Truth is what we base our reality on. And we have to agree on that to have a civil society. Sandy Hook is a hardHundredstruth.” of school shootings later, what’s even harder is knowing how many people in this country have trouble knowing what truth even means.
There was a certain small satisfaction in the fact that Jones was taken down by an accidental email — that technology, media and information decisively bit back at someone who had abused all three. But those leaked texts also made clear that Jones continues to spread disinformation, whether about the coronavirus pandemic or the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election. Even when the truth comes out, it can feel like an afterthought, and worse, irrelevant. “Just because you claim to think something is true does not make it true,” the judge in the case, Maya Guerra Gamble, had to remind Jones as he dissembled from the stand. This wasn’t his radio show, she explained.
The answer to the first question is that Jones’ reluctant admission of the truth doesn’t matter nearly enough. Whatever comfort it offers Lewis and Heslin, it cannot change the grotesque fact that for years, the family members of Sandy Hook’s victims became Jones’ victims, that parents suffering the unimaginable loss of a child were then subject to harassment, threatened to the point of needing to move to new homes and hire security. It cannot change the fact that an unscrupulous fabulist leveraged the weaknesses of our current media ecosystem — its fragmentation, lack of standards and polarization — to his financial advantage.

OEG culmina investigación sobre ex presidente de la Junta de Gobierno de la AEE
S AN JUAN – El director ejecutivo de la Oficina de Ética Gubernamental de Puerto Rico (OEG), Luis Pérez Vargas, informó el martes que los abogados del Área de Investigaciones y Procesamiento Admi nistrativo (AIPA) de la OEG, culminaron la investiga ción relacionada al ingeniero Ralph Kreil Rivera, ex presidente de la Junta de Gobierno de la Autoridad de Energía Eléctrica (JGAEE), sobre un alegado con flicto de interés por firmar certificaciones de instala ciones eléctricas a favor de clientes privados. En este caso, Pérez Vargas mencionó que los abogados de la Oficina evaluaron una solicitud de investigación y dos referidos; uno de la Oficina del Contralor de Puerto Rico y otro del Panel del Fiscal Especial Independiente, que incluía una investiga ción realizada por el Departamento de Justicia sobre los mismos hechos y que no recomendó la designa ción de un Fiscal Especial Independiente. El señor Kreil Rivera es ingeniero de profesión, presidente de Electrical Engineer Service, Inc. y para el momento de los hechos era el presidente de la JGAEE. Como miembro independiente, no es empleado público de la Autoridad de Energía Eléctrica (AEE), según los es tablece la Ley 37 -2017, Ley Orgánica de la AEE. No obstante, si es un servidor público para efectos de la Ley 1-2012, según enmendada, Ley Orgánica de la Oficina de Ética Gubernamental de Puerto Rico (LOOEG), porque como miembro de la JGAEE, inter viene en la formulación e implantación de la política pública de la AEE. “Como parte de la investigación que realizó la licenciada Alexandra Rivera Ríos del AIPA, surge que el Reglamento 7817 de 25 de febrero de 2010 de la AEE, Reglamento para la Certificación de Instala ciones Eléctricas, regula el sistema de certificaciones realizadas por un perito electricista licenciado y co legiado o por un ingeniero electricista licenciado y colegiado”, explicó el director ejecutivo de la OEG en declaraciones escritas. Añadió que, “en lo pertinente a los hechos bajo investigación, la certificación establece que la perso na que certifica no puede ser empleado de la AEE y no puede proveer beneficio económico a empleado alguno de la AEE. La actuación señalada contra Kreil Rivera, de suscribir certificaciones de instalaciones eléctricas, gestión para la que no tenía impedimento por no ser empleado de la AEE y porque tampoco estas certificaciones suscritas por él iban a la aproba ción de la junta que presidía, no son suficientes para concluir que haya incurrido en alguna violación de ley.”

was the “Lemonade” of its day, inspiring a prime-time network TV event. She only had to toy with going too far. Her real thing was limitations. She seemed to know what hers were — as a vocalist, as a dancer, as an actor. And she luxuriated in them. There was nothing inhe rently subversive about her. Yet she was an ironist — the person you’d least expect to see, say, mounting a fat dude on a massage table and riding him like a mechanical bull. Even when she was straining for eros — the way she was in the video for “Tied Up,” in a red leather vest, her mouth seemingly in want of irrigation — you were watching an angel pursue a dirty face. That’s the reason she survived “Xana du,” the musical belch from 1980 with her as a Greek muse on roller skates: an imper viousness to the surrounding absurdity. It’s the reason she came to embody the sleek fantasies of pleasure, painlessness and profit of theNothing1980s. disturbed her. She distur bed no one. Even that gatefold: She’s fully clothed! The skates and spandex were a prop and a metaphor. And “Physical” re mained the decade’s longest-running No. 1 song. But at some point, she stopped perking us up. Well, we stopped letting her. Madon na had come along and threatened to put her out of business. I swore she was a paro dy of Newton-John’s flirty, jolly, heaven-sent persona; of her being staunchly white while adjacent to a wealth of Black and Latin mu sic. What would it mean to mean it, not just to get dirty but to be dirty, to mix in some of that Blackness and brownness? “Like a Virgin,” for instance, is New ton-John but more ornately ironic, authen tically, imaginatively lewd. Even though Newton-John’s hit machine was still going by 1985, she was already becoming a me mory of a kind of innocence. Which is to say that she was never, ever forgotten. She’s a place pop music has been trying to get back to: the Stacey Q’s and Cathy Dennises, the Carly Rae Jepsens and Dua Lipas; the one and only Kylie Minogue. What I like to go back to with Olivia Newton-John isn’t her body at all. It’s her singing. There’s always more to it than I re member. I was putting it in sundresses and leotards. But, boy, that voice could work a singlet, too: She learned to flex her soprano so that it bent, barked, yipped and squea led. “Totally Hot,” from 1978, occasionally features sounds more typical for Sea World. Yet any deficiencies in soulfulness were re paid inShespirit.also perfected a great trick: laye ring. Instead of just one of her, suddenly, in a prechorus or a chorus-chorus, there was a fleet of lilting, undulating, rainbowing, billowing, Bee Gee-ing selves, on “Have You Never Been Mellow,” on “A Little More Love,” on “Magic.” She had but one body, but on a record, she could become a multi tude. The warmth of that sound; the glorious blue-sky of it still warrants exclamation — like “oh my lord” but alternatively divine. I like “ONJ.”
Olivia Newton-John in the music video for “Physical,” the longest-running No. 1 hit song of the 1980s.
Olivia Newton-John: That headband was a crown By WESLEY MORRIS We would’ve just called her ONJ now. But part of the appeal, I think, was all of that name, the possible royalty of it. Nobody wanted to waste a syllable. Olivia Newton-John. Just saying it might bestow a crown. The rest of her allure sprang from that classiness: She was neither queen nor first lady of anything, yet she seemed, ultimately, like … a lady. And that was something she could have some fun with, a category she could smud ge. Eventually. I mean, this was a person who, at the heights of funk, disco and glam rock, recorded six country-esque albums, throw pillows for your ears. And most of their singles topped what was once known as Billboard’s easy listening chart. (So may be she was the queen of that.) By the end of the 1970s, though, she had figured out the whole “lady” thing and spent 90% of her first Hollywood movie disguised that way, as a princess. There’s a lot going on in “Grease.” Most of it’s bizarre and has to do with sex and a sort of pure whiteness, particularly how, in both cases, Newton-John, who died Monday at 73, was holding on to hers. Not for John Travolta, per se, but for “You’re the One That I Want,” the duet with Travolta (and a triple-X bass line) that ends the movie. The virginal bobbysoxer Newton-John had been playing was now in pumps and skintight black pants. Her hair had expanded from Sandra Dee to Sophia Loren. You could see her shoulders. That transformation unlocked so mething new that shot her to the top of pop’s Olympus: the vestal vamp. Nothing about the presentation of a four-minute pop song would be the same. Neither would anybody who sat through a dozen showings of “Grease.” The only reason my 5- and 6and 10-year-old selves put up with it at all was the knowledge that we’d soon get to the part at the amusement park where Olivia Newton-John turns into an ONJ. I didn’t learn much from Newton-John about sex. Only that its existence was there to be implied and winked at. It’s true that her pelvis was, at last, affixed to Travolta’s near the end of “Grease” but on a redundant ride called the Shake Shack. And, yeah, she does spend that zany video for “Physical” in a disco spa studded with Adonic gym rats, but when the tanned, fatless men walk off hand in hand, she gleefully locks arms with one of the spa’s tubbier clients. They’re the ones she wants — and, consequently, the ones I wanted, too. The videos, the hit songs, her lip-syn cing them on “Solid Gold”: I also wanted Olivia Newton-John. And one of my parents must have known this because there was a copy of her second greatest hits LP, from 1982, at our house. And knowing what my parents weren’t listening to, the only reason it would’ve been there is for me; I wasn’t even 7.The thing about that album — more than any I’d ever studied up to then, except for Stevie Wonder’s “Hotter Than July” (you could see his shoulders) — is the gatefold, a good album’s second strongest intoxicant. And this one was just Newton-John in a ho rizontal display, head to thigh, hair shortish and characteristically a-feather. White knit top, tight white pants, some gold jewelry. Was she truly on her back or simply shot to look that way? I’d have to wait a who le two months, for the gatefold of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” (not a dissimilar pose but with a tiger cub), to see anything as mesme rizingly erotic. Newton-John revamped herself at the dawn of the music-video era. She knew the power of the art form — her Grammy-win ning 1982 video album, “Olivia Physical,”

The images of Cartwheel were already in hand July 12, though they were not available to the public until last week. They have been filtered to make them more visually accessi ble, highlighting vivid, blue-hued young stars and red-toned molecules from older stars and space dust floating between the rings. While colorful, the stars and dust are actually detect ed as infrared light, said Joseph DePasquale, a senior science visuals developer at the Space Telescope Science Institute, which manages the Webb and Hubble spacecraft. The new technology to detect that light in such detail is what distinguishes Webb’s im ages from those made by Hubble and the An glo-Australian telescope. While Hubble had some capabilities to record light in the infra red spectrum, Webb’s are more advanced and create more vibrant pictures. The NIRCam, for instance, which was built by about 25 people working with Rieke over 11 years, distinguish es the stars’ infrared colors, which are invisible to the human eye, from one another. When Hubble captured Cartwheel in the 1990s, the galaxy’s “spokes” were obscured by gas clouds that scattered light, making it hard to see the thousands of stars forming within. Now, because the Webb can study mid-infra red and near-infrared light wavelengths, it is able to filter past the space dust. That helps to confirm some of the theories of Cartwheel’s makeup that were formed using Hubble’s tech nology and to uncover new information, such as the lack of star formation in some areas be tween the spokes of the wheel.
“I think the combination of the two tele scopes, far from making one of them obsolete, this is actually just boosting the benefits and power of Hubble because now we can do these comparisons,” Borne said.
By ANASTASIA MARKS Scientists last week published the latest images from NASA’s triumphant James Webb Space Telescope. The newest re lease documents the Cartwheel galaxy, which is about 500 million light-years from our plan et and is aptly named for its wheel-like ap pearance, complete with a center hub, a tire and even wavy, fluorescent spokes. The Webb also recorded two smaller companion galaxies alongside Cartwheel. The new images come on the heels of NASA’s July 12 unveiling of five initial scenes captured by the Webb telescope, the most powerful space observatory built to date. Since they were launched on Dec. 25, the Webb’s 18 hexagonal gold mirrors have aligned to capture other targets in space, though not all images have been released. Snapshots have included the Southern Ring nebula, which re sembles a soap bubble expanding from a dead star, and the striking Carina nebula, composed of swirling dust akin to jagged cliffs. Astronomers have been studying the Cartwheel galaxy for decades. Initially, it was inspected from two ground observatories in Australia, first the UK Schmidt telescope and later the Anglo-Australian telescope. But it is best known from the Hubble Space Telescope, which produced images in the 1990s with more details of the galaxy’s makeup. And just as the Webb, in July, revealed the presence of even more distant galaxies hiding from our view, its photographs of Cartwheel magnified the detailed formation of stars within the gal axy’s rings and the dozens of other star systems beyond.Cartwheel’s appearance comes from a collision of two galaxies that occurred hun dreds of millions of years ago. “We guess that the Cartwheel prob ably started out looking something like the Milky Way, and then this other galaxy moved through,” said Marcia Rieke, principal investi gator of the near-infrared camera, or NIRCam, one of the Webb telescope’s scientific instru ments. The smaller galaxy, though, rather than getting stuck in the large spiral it penetrated, continued on, moving away from the larger one. It is not visible in the image NASA pub lished.Galactic collisions are not uncommon in deep space, though it is rare for them to result in such a perfect shape that sparks hu man curiosity. Kirk Borne, who was the prin cipal investigator for the Hubble observation of the Cartwheel but was not involved with the Webb, said the galaxy’s strange shape, which formed by coincidence during the merger, has motivated astronomers to study it for decades. Already 1.5 times the size of the Milky Way, Cartwheel is still expanding, and new stars are being formed both inside its outer ring and at its edge. However, there is no concrete answer on how large Cartwheel will become, when it will stop growing or what shape it will take when it does.

Serena Williams announced her impending retirement in a Vogue essay.
The San Juan Daily Star Thursday, August 11, 2022 27
Serena Williams forced her way into the tennis history books
By CHRISTOPHER CLAREY S erena Williams’ fellow tennis professio nals already know what their sport is like without her. She has played very little in the past two years and has played just two singles matches in the past 13 months. But as Williams, now 40 years old, made plain Tuesday in announcing her impending retirement, it will very soon be time for the wider world to become accustomed to her absence from the courts, as well. Tennis is a global game, which is a big part of its charm, and despite Williams’ parttime status of late, if you ask anyone on just about any street to start naming women’s ten nis players, the first name most would produ ce would still be Serena Williams. With her technically sound and forceful serve, she possessed perhaps the most deci sive shot in the long history of the women’s game. But there has been much more to her tennis: powerful, open-stance groundstrokes; exceptional and explosive court coverage; and a ferocious, territorial competitive drive that helped her overcome deficits and adver sity throughout a professional career that has lasted a quarter-century. At her peaks — and there were several — she was one of the most dominant figures in any sport: able to overwhelm and intimi date the opposition with full-force blows and full-throated roars, often timed for maximum effect.By force of serve and personality and long-running achievement, she has become synonymous with tennis while managing to transcend it as a Black champion with sym bolic reach even if she long eschewed politi cal or social commentary, in part because of her upbringing as a Jehovah’s Witness. Years after Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe blazed trails for Black champions, Williams created new paths for modern athletes balancing competition and outside pursuits. Her off-court world — including acting, fashion design, venture capital, family life and motherhood — most likely allowed her to re main fresh and competitive far longer than expected. And we are not just talking about the public’s expectations. Her father and longtime coach, Richard Williams, clearly had vision: He dreamed up a far-fetched and ultimately right-on-target family plan for Se rena and her older sister Venus to dominate women’s tennis. But he also predicted that both would retire early to devote themselves to otherFatherendeavors.didnotknow best in this instance. Both sisters have played into their 40s, displa ying an undeniable love of the game that is rather surprising considering that they were given no choice in whether they would play it. “I got pushed hard by my parents,” Sere na Williams wrote in the Vogue essay relea sed Tuesday announcing her impending reti rement. “Nowadays so many parents say, ‘Let your kids do what they want!’ Well, that’s not what got me where I am. I didn’t rebel as a kid. I worked hard, and I followed the rules.” She then talked about her 4-year-old daughter, Olympia. “I do want to push Olym pia — not in tennis, but in whatever captures her interest,” Williams said. “But I don’t want to push too hard. I’m still trying to figure out that Althoughbalance.” the sisters will always be, in some manner, packaged together in the co llective consciousness, it was Serena Wi lliams who grew up, as her father correctly predicted, to be the greater player. She would go on to win 23 Grand Slam singles titles (for now) to her sister’s seven, and to spend 319 weeks at No. 1 to Venus Williams’ 11 weeks. Serena Williams says she takes no joy in that disparity, emphasi zing that she would never have scaled such heights without her sister’s high-flying exam ple. “Without Venus, there would be no Se rena,” Serena Williams once said. It would come as no surprise if Venus Williams, 42, soon joined her sister in reti rement at some stage after the U.S. Open or if they decided to call it a career together in New York. But for now, only Serena Williams has made it plain that the end is truly nigh and that — to deploy her own rather endea ring sneaker-dragging code for retirement — she is “evolving away from tennis.” She has certainly helped tennis evolve with point-winning power from all areas of the court; she has certainly helped society evolve with her willingness to change the dialogue about body image and strong wo men ferociously pursuing their goals. She has had the confidence to take risks, sometimes sartorial, like her French Open catsuit, and sometimes more profound, such as her de cision to boycott the tournament in Indian Wells, California, after she was booed and her father said he heard racial slurs in 2001. Fourteen years later, she returned in the in terest of bridging the divide and sending a message about second chances. But it is her tennis that has spoken loudest the longest. The sport, like many sports, remains fixated on the debate about the greatest of all time, and Williams certainly belongs in the heart of the conversation. It is easy to believe that she, at her best with the same equipment, would have beaten any woman at their best. But she was not nearly as consistent a winner in regular tour events as past women’s champions such as Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert and Steffi Graf. Williams picked her spots, and her 73 tour singles titles rank her fifth on the Open Era career list. Navratilova won 167 singles titles and 177 doubles titles at a time when doubles was much more prestigious and wi dely played by the stars. Evert won 157 sin gles titles. Graf, who retired at 30 years old, won 107 and remained No. 1 for a record total of 377 weeks. But Serena, who has amassed a women’s record of $94.5 million in prize money, pla yed at a time when the Grand Slam tourna ments have become the measuring stick of greatness and the focus of global interest and attention.Toher evident frustration, she remains one short of the record of 24 major singles titles, held by Margaret Court, a net-char ging Australian who played when Grand Slam tournament fields were smaller and the women’s game lacked the depth it possesses today.But comparing across eras remains a par ticularly tricky task in tennis (non-Australian greats of the past often skipped the Australian Open altogether). Perhaps it is wisest not to seek a definitive answer. She’s the greatest player of her genera tion, no doubt,” Navratilova said. That brooks no argument, and although tennis generations have a way of getting compacted to just a few years, Williams’ greatness was genuinely true to the term. She is the only player to have won singles titles in the 1990s, 2000s, 2010s and 2020s. Ten of her Grand Slam singles titles came after age 30, more than any other player. She also reached four major singles finals after giving birth to “SheOlympia.wasfresh at 30, a lot fresher than other players and champions in the past,” Navratilova said. “We would have played a lot more matches at that point. But the phy sical issues meant that she had taken a lot of breaks.”That enduring excellence — a tribute to Williams’ deep drive, phenomenal talent and innate belief in her own powers — will be a huge part of her legacy, no matter how far she advances in what is surely her final U.S. Open.
Talor Gooch of the United States and two other players who’ve joined LIV Golf had asked to be allowed to compete in the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Besides, PGA Tour officials asserted, the players waited until the playoffs’ start was imminent to bring a legal challenge, effectively conjuring an emergency for Freeman to consider. “Their ineligibility for Tour events was foreseeable when they accepted mil lions from LIV to breach their agreements with the Tour, and they knew for a fact that they were suspended on June 9,” the PGA Tour wrote, adding that other players who qualified for the playoffs and joined the lawsuit had not challenged their exclu sions. (A lawyer for the players, Robert C. Walters, told Freeman on Tuesday that the nature of the suspensions became clear only last Tuesday’sweek.)ruling was only an early one in the turmoil that could shadow golf for years, in part because the litigation could prove protracted. Away from the court house, LIV has announced plans to ex pand to 14 events in 2023, up from eight this year. It has also said it will offer $405 million in purses next year, compared with $255 million this year, for events expected to include such players as Dustin Johnson, Sergio García and Brooks Koepka. The PGA Tour, determined to preserve its standing as the preeminent circuit for professional male golfers, has suspended defectors, and some organizers of the ma jor tournaments have signaled that they could try to keep LIV players out of their 2023 fields. The PGA’s efforts have led to scrutiny: The Justice Department has been exploring whether the strategies ran afoul of federal antitrust laws, a particu larly sensitive subject for professional and collegiate sports organizers in the United States.Even as LIV has attracted some of golf’s best-known figures, the PGA Tour has maintained a reservoir of support among elite players. Tiger Woods criti cized LIV on the eve of last month’s British Open, where organizers made plain that Greg Norman, the LIV CEO and a twotime Open champion, was unwelcome. Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas, who have a combined six major titles, have also been among the most forceful Tour loyalists.Norman told Fox News Channel this summer that LIV had offered Woods “in the neighborhood” of $700 million to $800 million if he joined the series. Gooch, Jones and Swafford command far less attention. Gooch, ranked 20th in the playoff standings, finished in a tie for 34th at the British Open in July, but his career-best showing in a major was a tie for 14th. This year’s Masters marked the first time Swafford, 67th in the playoff stand ings, survived the cut at a major. Jones, 65th in the playoff rankings, missed week end play at the only major he contested in 2022, the PGA Championship. The men have not qualified for next year’s majors. When the players asked Freeman to intervene, their lawyers said that keeping them from the playoffs would likely doom their chances of competing in those tournaments, starting with the Mas ters in April. In a statement Tuesday, LIV Golf said it was “disappointed” by the judge’s ruling. “No one gains by banning golfers from playing,” the statement said.
LIV golfers, the filing suggested, could not expect to cycle between LIV events and PGA Tour competitions and break “contracts without consequence.”
The PGA Tour, in a filing Monday that condemned LIV as “a strategy by the Sau di government to use sports in an effort to improve its reputation for human rights abuses and other atrocities,” insisted that “antitrust laws do not allow plaintiffs to have their cake and eat it too.”

PGA Tour can bar LIV golfers from playoff, judge rules
By ALAN BLINDER A federal judge earlier this week re buffed an effort by three LIV Golf players to compete in the FedEx Cup playoffs, which begin today, giving the PGA Tour interim support as it faces an uprising over the invitational series fi nanced by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund.The decision was an early, if narrowly tailored, victory for the PGA Tour’s efforts to undercut LIV Golf, which has spent re cent months draining the more established tour of some of the star power it relies on to draw fans, television money and spon sorships.Although 11 players, including major champions Phil Mickelson and Bryson De Chambeau, sued the Tour last week over its decision to bar them from its compe titions, only three — Talor Gooch, Matt Jones and Hudson Swafford — asked Judge Beth Labson Freeman of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to order that they be allowed to compete in the playoffs’ initial event at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. Freeman, near the end of a Tuesday afternoon hearing in San Jose, California, said that she did not believe the players would suffer “irreparable harm” if they were not allowed to play, a vital legal standard to secure a temporary restraining order.The players’ guaranteed-pay contracts with LIV Golf, she said, made it likely that they would “be earning more than they have made and could reasonably have ex pected to make in a reasonable period of time” with the PGA Tour. Moreover, she said, the arrangements between LIV Golf and the players had been negotiated with the potential loss of PGA Tour compensation in mind. Gooch, Jones and Swafford have com bined for more than $37 million in career earnings, according to PGA Tour data. But the players, in a court filing last week and in San Jose last Thursday, argued that the PGA Tour had defied its internal rules to exclude them from an event that leads to one of golf’s most lucrative pay days. The playoffs, scheduled to conclude late this month, can also clear the way for a player’s participation in men’s golf’s major tournaments: the British Open, the Masters Tournament, the U.S. Open and the PGA “LargeChampionship.bonuses,big purses, substan tial retirement plan payments, sponsor ship, branding, and important business opportunities are at stake,” lawyers for the players wrote in a motion.

There is no need to be too specific about your plans, as muddled and erratic influences suggest it might be better to simplify matters. With edgy Uranus and ethereal Neptune on the scene, expect delays and disruptions. Yet it could be those unplanned encounters that turn out to be the most exciting and delightful. Although you like to be organized, leave some room for the unexpected.
Capricorn (Dec 22-Jan 20)
Leo (July 24-Aug 23) Today might be all about impulse control, as powerful energies could tempt you to do something you know you shouldn’t. This might be fuelled by a beguiling Mars/Neptune tie, encouraging you to believe you can get away with it. Whether what you’re considering is a small diversion or something a little more risqué, think carefully about the consequences before you dive in, Leo. Virgo (Aug 24-Sep 23) Someone might be smiling, but could they be jealous of you? Venus’s lingering connection with Pluto, may cause them to get very emotional in response to your good news. They’ll find it hard to stay cool if something they desperately want is coming to you instead. Under the current unpredictable sky, there’s no guarantee that you’ll get to keep it either. So, don’t celebrate yet!
Libra (Sep 24-Oct 23) You can if you think you can, Libra! This is the attitude you need to keep at the forefront of your mind. If you begin to doubt yourself, you won’t attempt something that could positively impact your future. Once you make up your mind, then stick with it. A dreamy link may mean you’re tempted to give up before you’ve even started. This is worth seeing right through to the end.
Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Sagittarius (Nov 23-Dec 21) You’ll be imaginative and inventive, especially when it comes to improving your lifestyle and home environment.

Even so, you may be inclined to indulge and find it hard to stop, even if you want to.
Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 22) If you’ve admired someone from afar, you’ll be ready to take things a step further. The only thing that might prevent you, is putting them on a pedestal and thinking that they are somehow better than you. They are human, as you are, so break the ice and start a conversation. Already entangled? A date night could go down well, especially if you haven’t done this for a while.
Cancer (June 22-July 23)
Gemini (May 22-June 21)
Taurus (April 21-May 21) Exciting encounters and opportunities may be heading your way. But as things stand with the current outlook being unstable, you’ll need to be quick to take advantage of them. Even then, they could disappear just as you seem to strike it lucky. This might be one day to count your blessings regarding those things that are a constant, and that you likely take for granted.
