Hong Kong Wine & Dine Fest

By Desert Star Staff HONG KONG and LOS ANGELES-The Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) announced today that its annual signature event “Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival” will take place virtually for the first time, making this year’s Festival the most accessible to international audiences ever.

Rather than a four-day event, this year’s Festival will span multiple weeks in November, allowing audiences around the world many opportunities to connect with Hong Kong’s leading chefs, restaurateurs and industry thought leaders through virtual pairings, workshops, and classes.

The Hong Kong Wine &

Dine Festival, which launched in 2009, altered its format to ensure it could produce a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees in light of evolving health and safety protocols related to COVID-19. As part of the new format, this virtual Festival will continue to deliver international wine and dining experiences that showcase

the world’s most talented winemakers and culinary connoisseurs without worrying about social-distancing restrictions or time and geographical constraints. The full program and digital events line-up will be announced in the coming weeks.

Explaining this strategic move, HKTB Chairman Dr.

YK Pang said, “The Hong Kong Wine & Dine Festival has been one of the most popular events among locals and tourists alike since its inception over a decade ago. Despite the Covid-19 outbreak this year, we hope people can continue to enjoy Continues on Page 7

TikTok officially sues Trump administration over ban threat

By Desert Star Staff TikTok has responded to Donald Trump’s looming ban with a lawsuit against the government, arguing it has been denied due process as the president has deemed the company a national security risk.

The short-form video app, which has approximately 100 million users in the US, officially moved forward with the lawsuit on Monday, has announced its intention of litigation on Sunday. The company said that the administration has not given them a choice in the matter.

“We far prefer constructive dialogue over litigation,”

TikTok said in a statement.

“With the Executive Order threatening to bring a ban on our US operations – eliminating the creation of 10,000 American jobs and irreparably harming the millions of Americans who turn to this app for entertainment, connection, and legitimate livelihoods that are vital especially during the pandemic – we simply have no choice.”

Owned by Chinese company ByteDance, concerns were raised recently about the app’s storage of users’ data. Trump claims that this information could be sent

The Rise of Zombie Airports

By Anthony Grant Airports are places that seem to exist outside of time. And when an airport closes, it can look and feel almost otherworldly, like a zombie. How do big hunks of concrete take such ghostly turns? Maybe there was a war or, more likely, a bigger airport came along, and no one got around to demolish the previous one completely.

A brief look around the world shows there are more than a few zombie airports lurking out there. Some of them, like London’s Croydon, still have an air of faded glory about them. Others, like Nicosia International, have had planes waiting to take off since 1974.

1. Nicosia International Airport

There’s a reason your international flight to Cyprus probably landed at Larnaca International Airport (LCA) on the south coast: because what should be the island’s preeminent airport, Nicosia International, has been stuck in a time warp since Turkey invaded Cyprus in 1974, bombing the airport out of commission in July that year.

The whole site sits inland, a few miles west of the divided Cypriot capital of Nicosia. On the derelict tarmac, a rusting, vintage Hawker Siddeley Trident jet sits abandoned.

Like the terminal, the tarmac is now under the control of United Nations peacekeepers.

The airport still has a threeletter code, NIC, but you’re not going to fly here soon.

2. Hong Kong International Airport (Kai Tak) No one who ever experienced a landing at Hong Kong’s old Kai Tak Airport, with its lone runway adjacent to Victoria Harbor (and made from reclaimed land), can ever forget it. Especially if it was at night. As my Cathay Pacific plane weaved between skyscrapers and apartment blocks one late night, neon signs flickering below the fog, it felt like I was flying onto a real-life set for Blade Runner.

In fact, Kai Tak landings were tricky with an approach low over the city ending abruptly with a runway surrounded by water. As pilots turned onto the final approach, you could see what people were watching

on TV. Hong Kong’s current international airport on Chek Lap Kok island took over from Kai Tak in 1998, keeping the same HKG code. Now, the old HKG sits mostly abandoned.

3. London Terminal Aerodrome (Croydon Airport) Croydon was on an excellent stretch one of Europe’s most important airports—and as such home to many famous firsts: the first airport control tower was built here, and so was the first airport hotel. In 1927 Charles Lindbergh flew in on the Spirit of St. Louis following the first transatlantic flight, and Winston Churchill took flying lessons at Croydon years before that.

Britain’s first national airline, Imperial Airways, was based here too. Britain’s air traffic needs outgrew Croydon after World War II, and the airfield (originally built to defend London against Zeppelin raids in World War I) closed for good in 1959. But many of the Art Deco terminal structures remain, and there’s a visitor’s center in the old control tower.

4. Berlin Tempelhof Airport Now decommissioned, Berlin’s Tempelhof Airport (THF) ceased operations in 2008, and the airfield itself is now mainly used as a park. The site has an unusual pedigree, built upon land that, in medieval times, belonged to the Knights

Templar. It was the Nazis who oversaw the transformation of an earlier airport into something huge: giant semicircle threequarters of a mile long covered by a high curving canopy roof, mostly completed by 1941.

Hitler hoped for more Nazi rallies on the tarmac than circumstances would permit.

In 1945 the Soviets took over the airport, but it would soon find itself in the American sector, and in 1948 and 1949, Tempelhof became the linchpin of the Berlin Airlift. Much of the monumental Nazi work is intact, with its vast empty halls making the whole place very eerie.

5. Damascus International Airport Question: If an airport lies in an active war zone and all commercial airlines from all countries but the airports own have suspended flights until further notice, does it really exist? Damascus International in war-torn Syria is undoubtedly off the radar, in more ways than one. Explosions and airstrikes near the airport are frequent occurrences, and most airlines avoid the airspace over Syria. While this is not a decommissioned airport, virtually all international airlines had canceled service to Damascus by the start of 2013. That said, SyrianAir still has a functioning flight schedule running out of DAM.

Cancer Survivors Await Outcome of Cell-Phone Warnings Lawsuit

By Desert Star Staff SACRAMENTO, Calif. -Cancer survivors are speaking out as they await the outcome of several lawsuits concerning radiation and cell phones.

The suits challenge the Federal Communication Commission’s radiation guidelines, the radio-frequency or ‘RF’ levels from cell phones, and safety notices required by the City of Berkeley.

Courtney Kelley, a young mother who has beaten back breast cancer twice, said she used to keep her phone tucked into her bra - but not anymore.

“I use headphones when I talk, or speaker phone,” said Kelley. “I don’t sleep with my cell phone near me.

I never put my cell phone in a pocket or in my bra. I’m even uncomfortable with it in my purse next to my body, I try to keep it far away.”

The cellular industry insists its products are safe, although a 2018 study by the National Toxicology Program concluded cellphone radiation causes brain tumors in rats.

Orange County surgeon Dr. John West, who wrote a book on breast cancer called “Prevent, Survive, Thrive,” said he’s seen multiple patients -- with no family history or genetic predisposition -develop tumors near where they usually kept their phone.

55-year-old Cally Pivano had a fast-growing, softballsized tumor removed from her left leg. Now, it has metastasized to her lungs, back, right leg and her heart. A doctor told her it might have been caused by exposure to radiation.

“And then I had an epiphany,” said Pivano. “My laptop! I put that on my left

And 49-year-old Paul

Griffiths, a father of two from San Jose, is fighting a brain tumor above the ear where he said he used to squeeze his phone while taking notes on work calls.

“First thing I thought of is, ‘I bet you this thing is right above my ear on my right side,’ where I always feared,” said Griffiths.

“And lo and behold, that’s exactly where it was.” www.desertstarweekly.com

game day isn’t complete without the tailgate experience - hours spent in the parking lot grilling, enjoying ice-cold Pepsi, blaring music, and prepping for kickoff. With social distancing in place this season, fans may be unable to go to their beloved stadium, so Pepsi is paving (literally) a new way for fans to unapologetically keep this tradition alive and pre-game at home. To do this, Pepsi searched far and wide for a diehard football fan who was willing to completely transform their front yard, creating a fully decked out, stadium-parking-lot replica, or “Homegate” experience.

Enter Cindy, a lifelong, passionate Jets fan from Piscataway, New Jersey Pepsi found who jumped at the chance to change her idyllic suburban front yard into the loudest, proudest shrine to the J-E-T-S in the tri-state area; one that would make

the regulars off exit 16W on the NJ Turnpike proud. With 1,500 square feet of her yard paved over with parking lot asphalt, Pepsi pulled out all of the stops, including a fullypainted end zone; a lifesize team-branded Jet; a 65” flat screen TV; a stadium lot light tower; a Pepsi fridge; a brand new grill; a true-to-size stadium parking lot booth; some well wishes from Hall-of-Famer and Jets legend Curtis Martin; tents, seating and much more.

“Tailgating has always been one of the most anticipated and enjoyed rituals of the NFL gameday experience,” said Todd Kaplan, VP Marketing, Pepsi. “With all the uncertainty surrounding this year’s NFL season, Pepsi wants to bring that authentic stadium experience into the home so that fans can still enjoy this cherished tradition. We want to encourage fans to take their ‘home games’ to the

next level, by unapologetically representing their team to the entire neighborhood.”

While Cindy is repping the Jets loud and proud, Pepsi wants to make sure fans across the country can keep their tailgating traditions from the comfort of their own homes. The Brand is bringing an at-home tailgating experience to 20 lucky fans.

At nearly $5,000 in value, this customized 16 square foot tailgating box has everything fans need to transform their Sunday-tailgating ritual into one that will make even their neighbors who root for their rival team jealous. It includes an outdoor projector, Pepsi branded seating, high-end speakers, a one-of-a-kind Pepsi cornhole set, and a Pepsi product. For a chance to win one, fans should check out @Pepsi on Twitter and MadeForFootballWatching. com/Homegate for more detail.

“Tailgating is such an important and fun part of the game-day festivities for our fans, and we know they’ll be missing that tradition this year,” said Curtis Martin, Hallof-Fame Jets Running Back.

“It’s really incredible to see Pepsi deliver this over-the-top tailgate party to Cindy and her family, so they can create that same type of J-E-T-S gameday energy from home.”

The Pepsi Homegate experience and Tailgate-in-aBox are part of the Brand’s 2020 football campaign “Made for Football Watching,” which spotlights the NFL’s passionate football watchers and focuses on bringing the stadium experience home to fans this season. The campaign comes to life in several ways, including brand new TV advertisements, an online hub to host content, a suite of social filters designed to help immortalize the football watcher, and more.

Our HOA Stopped Meeting - Is That OK?

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL Dear Mr. Richardson: Our board says that due to the pandemic they are suspending board meetings “until further notice.” Our bylaws state board meetings must be held at least every 3 months. They said if they do hold a meeting they will limit attendance to 10 members, but the Open Meeting Act says it must be open to all eligible members.

The board refuses to hold a meeting outdoors because it’s “too much trouble.” Is Covid-19 a valid excuse for these restrictions? Has the board overstepped its authority and what can we do about it?

Thank you, G.B., Lakeside Dear Kelly: Is it legal for an association to not hold meetings for months because of the pandemic? There’s been no attempt by the board to hold a Zoom or any other kind of general session meeting in months. D.L., Mission Viejo

representative is physically present at the announced physical location of the meeting, and that, per Civil Code Section 4925(a), anyone participating via telephone or virtually can hear and be heard by those physically present. This is not difficult and does not require violation of any bans on physical gatherings, since one person can sit in the board room Dear G.B., D.L., and A.P.: with their laptop or tablet and Sorry, your concerns are everyone else can participate currently typical of hundreds virtually via internet platform if not thousands of HOAs in or telephone conference California. The Davis-Stirling service.

The one proper corporate process and requirement is that at least all of its decisions could be one director or other HOA subject to legal challenge.

Hi Kelly, since the shelter in place orders, our HOA has had two monthly Zoom board meetings, but when members attempted to dial in they were denied access. In my mind this is a serious violation of the DavisStirling act. What action can homeowners take to rectify this matter? Sincerely, A.P., Irvine

August 26, 2020

The technology is available and inexpensive to allow boards to meet their important duties and comply with the law. If they seem to be unaware of their options, send the board a copy of Civil Code Sections 4090(b) and 4925(a) and ask them to do their jobs. If they still won’t, then elect directors who will learn how to do things properly and comply with the governing documents and California law.

G.B., D.L., and A.P., thanks for your questions. Based upon the mail I receive, you are not alone. Best, Kelly Kelly G.

HOROSCOPES ARIES

Careful with love and all encounters with intimates, loved ones, those close to you, partners, etc. You (or they) may feel estranged, separate, unloved and uncared for and yearn for contact (which releases Love) and for the fiery magnetic charms you usually lavish on those you love. We are to “be of love a little more careful than of anything.” (e.e. cummings).

See to this each moment.

TAURUS Each day may feel more and more difficult. There could be tiredness, exhaustion, a need to tend to health and well-being. Perhaps choices you’ve made in the past five years need re-assessing.

What are the consequences of these choices what new ones need to be made? It is good to ponder upon the times to come when deep change will come about. The months ahead are unknown.

You know it’s time to prepare.

GEMINI Do you feel your creative process at a standstill? Do you recognize what your creative process is? What you actually have, when aligned with the Soul, is a ‘prophetic imagination”, both like and unlike that of Pisces. This type of imagination has hope for the future with a clear understanding of the present difficult times humanity faces.

Study more and ponder upon an understanding of the

present social unrest. Seek the truth. It will set you free.

CANCER Since you nourish new exciting ideas that must be anchored in form and matter, perhaps you can begin to help humanity envision a new and vibrant way of life. Not the old materialism as we have known it, but the new materialism that responds to world/humanity’s needs.

This is Soul work and the Soul for Cancer is a diffused light bathed in the womb of matter. You illumine that light.

LEO I’m wondering is there a lamentation for things that occurred in the family long ago. Perhaps there’s a lament for one or more family deaths. It would be good to express yourself more in depth about any and all things on your mind. It will help you trust yourself more.

The more you share truthfully, the more that’s hidden within you emerges. This is healing for you. And liberating. Your mask must be removed.

VIRGO It would be good to hang mirrors everywhere and look into them, pondering upon who you are, your identity then, now and in the future.

It’s good to assess everything about yourself including what you value. Create an “I Value” book. Set it alongside your “Retrograde” book and your “Esoteric quotes” book. Back to values,

write down everything you value. Begin with yourself as valuable. You are.

LIBRA When you think of your life as a child, what do you remember? What successful areas in your present life can be traced back to what you were taught as a child? What childhood experiences do you carry into adulthood that created resistance in your life? How do you see your parents, in what light, and are you able to understand the 4th Commandment?

Do you know what it is?

It’s a serious spiritual law.

SCORPIO I am going to ask you deep questions. Do you feel, in any way, complicit with the materialistic (read destructive) forces accepted within our dominant culture? Do you explore or encounter new ways of being that undermine the materiality of the dominant culture? Why am I asking you these deep questions? Because you understand the underbelly of everything. And because, through you, everything reorients toward the light.

SAGITTARIUS When I think of Sagittarius, I think of poet, author Michael Meade. His work is brilliant.

You too are brilliant. So, I thought to put the three together, a triangle, a symbol of synthesis. Michael calls the mythic story out of each of

us. This is what you do, too.

He understands God, popular culture, mythic cultures, community and creativity. He is a cultural critic, a story teller.

You are, too. You two should know of each other. https:// www.mosaicvoices.org/about

CAPRICORN You’re on the brink, edge, precipice, border, boundary, periphery, perimeter of moving into the center of everyone’s world. This is both inviting and perhaps a bit terrifying.

You’ve tried to open many doors and felt so often they were closed. Now as they open, you peek inside, realizing the choice to walk through or return home. So, you rest, remember, retreat, reassess and review who you are. Revelations then occur.

person). As this occurs, as you’re called here and there, by necessity or by desire (for others), you remember to stand still, quietly and in truth, within your own needs. Not just wants, but needs. It seems at times you stop praying, bordering on having no hope.

Sometimes we must do that. Stop. Something lovely your ways comes. Embrace it before it walks away.

Risa D’Angeles is the founder and director of the Esoteric & Astrological Studies Research Institute: Risa’s Esoteric Astrology.

She can be reached at risagoodwill@gmail.com.

AQUARIUS You like to travel. But things around you call for your attention, to help others in need. When not helping others, personal plans fall apart. You seek relationships but experience conflict and chaos instead. I want to remind you that conflict is Ray 4. From and through conflict a new harmony arises.

Humanity works and learns through Ray 4. Know also that for what you want in life, you must consider all the ways of cooperation. Love comes when least expected.

Getting the health care you need during COVID-19

By Dr. Jeffrey McManus California residents have been turning to virtual medical visits, also known as telemedicine, more than ever during the coronavirus pandemic. While telemedicine companies have been around for years, the epidemic has led to a dramatic increase in virtual visits as primary care doctors, specialists, and hospitals began offering the service to help keep patients safe.

Now that most medical offices and hospitals accept patients for in-person visits and elective procedures, you may be wondering if you should go to your doctor’s office or stick to a virtual tour. Rest assured, your health care providers can help you decide what’s best to ensure safe care for patients and staff.

This includes changing how they deliver care like screening patients ahead of time to help determine if it’s best to go to a medical office or stay at home.

at all times and appropriate personal protective equipment. · Treating suspected and symptomatic COVID-19 patients in designated areas only. · Promoting physical distancing with new clinic layouts. · Cleaning and disinfecting exam rooms between each patient visit, and regularly disinfecting high-traffic and high-touch areas.

Virtual Visits If you don’t require inperson attention, a virtual visit is still a good option.

Many people are choosing virtual visits in non-emergency situations for routine followups and non-life-threatening conditions. This option allows you to consult your doctor or other healthcare providers in your network via a secure video or phone appointment, all in the comfort of your home.

Before your telehealth visits: · Make a list of all the medications – prescription In-person Visits and over-the-counter – that If it’s determined that you take and include the an in-person visit is best name, address, and phone for you, you’ll find that to number of your pharmacy. reduce the risk of COVID-19 · Write down details transmission, many facilities about your symptoms, are taking the following steps: concerns, pain, and feelings. · Screening arriving patients · Take digital photos for COVID-19 symptoms of any injury, rash, or and providing a mask and other visible concern. hand hygiene supplies · Have your insurance before entering the center.

never video-chatted before, consider a practice run with a friend or family member to work out the process and check the microphone and speakers. Headphones or earbuds provide better sound quality and more privacy. · Have your home thermometer, bathroom scale, glucometer, or bloodpressure monitor nearby.

Whether you choose a virtual or in-person visit, check with your health insurance provider to see if they’ve taken steps to ease the burden during the health crisis. For example, Humana waives cost-sharing (including copays, coinsurance, and deductibles) for in-network primary care, outpatient behavioral health, and virtual visits for our Medicare Advantage members for the remainder of the calendar year.

Getting the care you need is always important. Consider these options to stay safe and healthy. And remember, for life-threatening emergencies, such as chest pain, difficulty breathing, or suicidal thoughts, always call 9-1-1 or go to the delay care because you are nearest emergency room. worried about contracting The bottom line, don’t COVID-19.

Democratic Groups Launch Campaign To Encourage Voting By Mail NBC PS Taylor Martinez Two Democratic super PACs are launching a $7.5 million advertising campaign on Monday to encourage voters to request mail-in ballots in several states crucial to their party’s hopes of winning the White House and flipping control of the Senate.

The new campaign by Priorities USA Action and the Senate Majority PAC, reported first by CNN, marks the first major advertising push by these deep-pocketed groups to encourage Democratic voters to cast mail-in ballots and is part of a larger, multi-pronged vote-by-mail messaging effort by Democrats in the run-up to Election Day. Tens of millions of Americans will vote by mail for the first time this year, as states race to offer voting alternatives in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Thirtyfive states now allow all voters to request a mail ballot for the general election. In addition, nine others and Washington, DC, will automatically send a ballot to registered voters.

But voting by mail, has become the source of intense political and legal battles.

President Donald Trump has criticized mail-in voting as ripe for fraud, even as his campaign apparatus works to reassure Republican voters that the practice is safe. And the President’s criticism of vote-by-mail and operational changes at the Post Office brought about by Trumpaligned Postmaster General Louis DeJoy have sparked Democratic accusations that the President’s allies are trying to hamstring the US Postal Service operations before November’s general election.

Democrats have stepped up their messaging on voting by mail. During last week’s virtual Democratic National Convention, speakers — such as former first lady Michelle Obama — implored supporters to cast their ballots early and follow up to make sure mailin ballots were received.

The new Democratic ads, which will run in Arizona, Florida, Maine, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, will target people who have a history of only voting in person, new voters and voters of color. Much of the advertising will appear on Facebook and Instagram with the goal of reassuring voters that mail-in voting is safe, Priorities officials said.

The ads also drive viewers to sites with specific instructions on how to request a mail-in ballots in voters’ individual states.

One ad, called “This Isn’t a Mailbox,” seeks to draw a connection between Black Lives Matter protests and the act of voting. It opens with young people on the streets protesting the death of Black people at the hands of police as a narrator

It ends with an image of someone inserting mail in a sidewalk mailbox as the narrator concludes: “And this isn’t a mailbox. It’s a ballot box.”

Once people have requested absentee ballots, the groups will conduct “ballot chase” programs that target those voters with digital ads that encourage them to return the ballots.

“Donald Trump’s mismanagement of the coronavirus and continued campaign of misinformation about the security of our elections has created unprecedented challenges for millions of Americans to access the ballot in November,” Priorities chairman Guy Cecil said in a statement. He said his group wants voters to “have their voices heard, even if they

can’t leave their house.”

Trump campaign officials noted that Obama also encouraged people to cast early votes in person, if they could, during her keynote address.

“Joe Biden and the radical left are trying to distract American voters from their efforts to shred election integrity provisions and radically change the way America votes 70 days out from a presidential election — all while even Michelle Obama encourages in-person voting and standing in line all night to do so,” Trump campaign spokeswoman Thea McDonald said in an emailed statement.

The President’s campaign, she said, “is working to ensure every voter knows how their state’s voting system works, and President Trump is fighting for a free and fair election and for every vote to count — once.”

The new ad campaign from Priorities is part of a previously announced $24 million voter-mobilization effort by the Democratic

group. Priorities also has said it is spending $32 million on voting-related litigation.

Groups Recruit, Train Poll Workers to Fill COVID-19 Vacancies

By Desert Star Staff Good-government groups are partnering with local election officials to recruit and train students and other young people to fill poll-worker positions

vacant due to the pandemic, ahead of the September 1 Massachusetts primary.

In 2018, around twothirds of poll workers nationwide were over age 60 - a demographic at higher

risk of more severe illness from COVID-19. The groups connect newly-trained poll workers directly with election officials, and they’re creating a “Reserve Corps” on stand-by.

Kristina Mensik, assistant

director at Common Cause Massachusetts, said shortages often happen last-minute.

“Poll workers, understandably, just decided on Election Day that they couldn’t take the risk, or many also wanted to wait until close to Election Day to see kind of how bad COVID was,” Mensik said.

With recent concerns about the U.S. Postal Service, Mensik said it’s as essential as ever for town clerks to be well-staffed and have robust in-person voting options. She noted voting by mail doesn’t work for everyone - mail service can be less reliable in low-income communities, and mail-in ballot rejection rates are much higher for younger voters and voters of color.

Usually, poll workers must be registered voters in the Commonwealth, although each precinct allows one or two 16- or

Taylor Martinez Kentucky Fried Chicken has decided to pause using its “finger lickin’ good” slogan because … well, that’s probably not the best idea right now.

Several months after health officials recommended everyone stop touching their faces to help stop the spread of coronavirus, KFC said Monday that the 64-year-old slogan “doesn’t feel quite right.”

“We find ourselves in a unique situation — having an iconic slogan that doesn’t quite fit in the current environment,” said Catherine Tan-Gillespie, global chief marketing officer at KFC in a statement. The menu isn’t changing and the company said the slogan will return when the “time is right.”

To be clear, Monday’s announcement is a marketing campaign. A clever one, perhaps, with good intentions baked into it … but a marketing campaign nonetheless. KFC blurred out the slogan featured on old billboards and signs in a cheeky ad released on its YouTube page.

KFC, like most fast food places, uses bizarre, selfeffacing and at times hokey marketing ploys to bring customers into their stores.

Fast food is a low-growth, zero-loyalty business with razorthin margins, so any bump in customers is a major win for quick-serve restaurant chains.

In the past, KFC has poked fun at itself by hawking chickenscented clogs, chicken-scented

yule logs, and, best of all, “finger lickin’ good” chicken-flavored edible nail polish (that one’s probably not coming back anytime soon. (Health experts, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, have been urging people to wear masks, wash their hands thoroughly and avoid touching their faces as way to prevent Covid-19 from spreading.)

Also similar to other fast food restaurants, KFC temporarily closed down its dining rooms in March and encouraged customers to order via its drive-thrus or delivery.

It also installed Plexiglas counter-top shields between employees and customers, required workers to wear masks and implemented health

screenings before shifts.

After a couple months of absolutely horrendous foot traffic at restaurant, sales at KFC have bounced back sharply in recent months as people crave

indulgences during a particularly stressful time in history. KFC is owned by Yum! Brands, which also owns Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. Source: NBC Palm Springs

To preserve as much

original flavor of the physical event as possible, the HKTB is building an online hub where most of the Festival programs will take place. Wine merchants will be providing special discounts and products for online shopping tailored to the Festival, which participants

can browse and purchase.

Meanwhile, renowned wine and food critics, chefs and wine experts will be invited to speak on wine-pairing and culinary topics in virtual workshops and classes. SOURCE Hong Kong Tourism Board

Trump also expressed concern over parent company ByteDance, which is based in Beijing, in the order, saying there is “credible evidence” that the company could take action to impair national security.

TikTok argues the order, issued under the International

Emergency Economic Powers Act, should not be legally valid because it was denied due process. The administration failed to present concrete data to back up their accusations.

The administration “failed to follow due process and act in good faith, neither providing

evidence that TikTok was an actual threat, nor justification for its punitive actions,” they said.

TikTok has insisted it stores its user data in the US and Singapore and does not send anything to the Chinese government.

17-year-olds. This year, if cities and towns are facing shortages, they’re allowed to hire more young people.

Mensik hopes the program can double as a civic education effort and said working at the polls always energizes her to engage with the community.

“I just don’t see how you could spend a day working at the polls and not become more deeply invested in the outcome of our elections,” she said. “And you know, it’s an exercise in feeling a part of our shared social fabric.”

Boston, Lowell, and Worcester are already in need of dozens to hundreds of poll workers. Mensik’s group and partners, including Mass VOTE and the Harvard Ash Center, hope this recruitment and training program will fill the gap.

Support for this reporting was provided by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

TikTok officially sues Trump administration over ban threat to the Chinese government, and therefore presents a threat to national security.

Trump’s order, which gives ByteDance until November 12 to spinoff or sell TikTok, says the app could “allow the www.desertstarweekly.com

Chinese Communist Party access to Americans’ personal and proprietary information – potentially allowing China to track the locations of Federal employees and contractors, build dossiers of personal information for blackmail, and conduct corporate espionage.”

The

band’s new “Twelfth” delivers the goods with welcome zeal.

Fans of the Dallas-spawned quartet (whose lineup is the same that was heard on their 1994 debut and every release since) will be swept up by the originals that fill “Twelfth,” their first since 2017’s “Graveyard Whistling.” The razor sharp rocker “This House Got Ghosts” has a wonderfully dreamy sonic vibe layered atop a particularly effective tale of romantic loss. The hard charging “Turn Off The TV,” wistful drinking song “Happy Hour” and reflective “I Like You Better” are other early LP standouts. The raucous indiestyled rocker “Confessional Boxing,” gorgeous “Diamonds On Neptune,” rockabilly-onsteroids romp “Bottle Rocket Baby,” shimmering melodic nugget “Absence (What We’ve Got)” and rapt “Why Don’t We Ever Say We’re Sorry” are among the highlights later on.

“Twelfth” is a terrific return.

Artist: Cary Morin Title: Dockside Saints (Cary Morin Music BMI) You might like if you enjoy: Tinsley Ellis, Geno Delafose, Tab Benoit Tell me more: Cary Morin’s new album “Dockside

Saints” is an uplifting listen, filled with original songs that celebrate life, love, his Native American heritage and the artist’s overarching Native Americana sound. Fusing rock, jazz, roots, bluegrass and Cajun with sharp-witted authenticity, Morin’s strong vocals and master fingerstyle guitar work enchant across the dozen tracks on the LP. A fortuitous meeting with multiGrammy winning producer and engineer Tony Daigle (who saw Morin performing at a club called Atmosphere in Lafayette, Louisiana) led to an idea to have a number of top South Louisiana players record an album with the Colorado-based Morin (a Crow tribal member). The track listing across “Dockside Saints” never falters. Indeed, the rousing rockers “Nobody Gotta Know” and “Come the Rain,” the ballad “Exception to the Rule” and several genre-defying dreamscapes (notably the fiddle-drenched “Tonight” and compelling “Valley of the Chiefs”) showcase a successful union of top-tier players across the release. Cajun (“Jamie Rae”), Southern blues (“Chosen Road”) and instrumental music (the gentle “Bare Trees” and Louisiana-flavored

“Cary’s Groove”) are also lauded on the superb album.

Artist: Chris Cruz & Rae Shirer Title: Sentimental Dreams (Persuasion Records) You might like if you enjoy: Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash, Bright Blue Gorilla Tell me more: It’s amazing what two singers and a guitar can do. “Sentimental Dreams,” a new six-song EP release from Chris Cruz & Rae Shirer, is an uplifting and joyful listen that taps into the warmest of Americana and folk traditions.

A collection that features three compelling originals and an equal number of artful covers, the EP provides a fantastic introduction to the two talented artists. Cruz (on acoustic guitar and vocals) and Shirer (duet and backing vocals) craft straightforward recordings that recall the best of ‘60s and ‘70s folk music; especially ambitious is their own “Lie” with bold harmonies that help propel the epic track on its enticing run. The countrified “Not Your Kind of Man” (which could have been a hit for Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash) and probing “Sentimental Dream Come True” are thrilling listens as well. The duo’s reworkings of the John Denver classic “Take Me Home Country Roads,” the Everly Brothers’ “Cathy’s Clown” and the Eagles’ “Peaceful Easy Feeling” honor the original versions while showcasing the signature sound that Cruz and Shirer create together.

USPS Workers Express Internal Concerns, Call for Funding

By Desert Star Staff Unions representing postal workers in Florida are calling for the postmaster general to permanently reverse changes that have created significant mail delays. They are calling on Congress to support the agency the same way it helps corporations.

Wanda Harris is president of Miami Area Local 172 of the American Postal Workers Union.

She said she is heartbroken as they are flooded with complaints from customers. She said she tries to explain that the changes are beyond their control, but it doesn’t stop the cries from veterans and small-business owners who are left limbo.

“The elderly can’t even get their checks on time. They are on a fixed income. They are so used to the first and the

third and the fifth, now they got to wait on their checks.

That’s enough to make them feel as though their life is over,” Harris said. “That is not fair.”

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy announced he would reverse the reduction of staff and post office hours and remove postal boxes, until after November’s election.

On Saturday, the U.S. House passed The Delivering for America Act, which provides $25 billion in additional funding for the agency and bans the recent changes DeJoy implemented.

The bill now moves to the Republican-led Senate.

Al Friedman, president of the Florida State Association of Letter Carriers, said for too long the nation’s most trusted agency has been overlooked

while suffering the same problems as businesses and corporations impacted by issues such as the pandemic.

“Why did we give a stimulus package to American Airlines, Delta, United, Southwest?

Because of lost revenue and trying to keep their employees employed, correct? And how different is that than the postal service? We’re losing about $3 million to $4 million a day because of all the forced overtime,” Friedman said.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told reporters the Senate is unlikely to pass a bill that only addresses the Postal Service. Instead, Senate The Democratic-led House passed a bill to stop changes to the U.S. Republicans plan to introduce Postal Service and provide $25 billion in funding.

You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property.

You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

Improve Heart Health with Daily Nutrition from a Refrigerator Staple

Add 100% orange juice to family recipes and routines T FAMILY FEATURES

aking care of your heart requires a commitment to the right routines and smart decisions, but it doesn’t have to be difficult. Simple ingredients already in your kitchen may offer powerful protection to keep your heart healthy.

For example, more than a decade of research shows 100% orange juice and its vitamins and minerals may play a beneficial role in helping lower blood pressure and other risk factors for heart disease.

A study published in the “European Journal of Nutrition” by researchers at Eurecat, Centre Tecnològic de Catalunya, in Reus, Spain provides further support for 100% orange juice’s role in heart health, and offers additional insight into a unique component in orange juice, called hesperidin, that may have antioxidant activity and contribute to orange juice’s cardiovascular benefits.

The study, which was funded by the Florida Department of Citrus, determined that adults with pre- or stage-1 hypertension who drank about 2 cups of 100% orange juice per day saw significant reductions in systolic blood pressure and other markers of heart health and inflammation.

“Nearly half of adults in the United States have high blood pressure,” said Dr. Rosa Walsh, scientific research director at the Florida Department of Citrus. “For those with mild hypertension, including something as simple and pure as 100% orange juice in your daily healthy routine may help make significant improvements in such a prevalent problem.”

Beyond its heart health benefits, many studies, including a National Health & Nutrition Survey published in “Nutrition Journal,” have found that 100% orange juice consumption is associated with higher diet quality and increased levels of key nutrients, including many that are under-consumed, like potassium.

“The vitamin C, antioxidants and potassium found in 100% orange juice can help maintain a healthy blood pressure, which is a big factor in heart health,” said Kaleigh McMordie, RDN and founder of the blog “Lively Table.”

With no added sugar and no fat, cholesterol or sodium, Florida Orange Juice can help you take advantage of these nutritious benefits from breakfast to dinner with dishes like Poached Salmon with Collard Green Salad, an easy way to add potassium and vitamin C at the family table, especially when paired with an 8-ounce glass of 100% orange juice. For those busy mornings on the go, an Orange Kale Smoothie can be the fuel you need as a filling option with less than five ingredients that’s an excellent source of vitamin C, folate and vitamin K and a good source of potassium and thiamin.
