However, the most recent women’s advocates (and their political interests, whether stated or perceived) haven’t received the favor of the feminist organizations in Puerto Rico. The most recent appointee, Lersy Boria Vizcarrondo, was filling in for Wanda Vázquez Garced, who was designated Secretary of Justice in 2017 and later took over as governor after Ricardo Rosselló Nevare’s ousting in 2019. Vázquez Garced, who was defeated in the 2020 New Progressive Party primary by the current governor, Pedro Pierluisi Urrutia, is now facing federal corruption charges and has pleaded not guilty. As for Boria, “the reality is that although she was there, she was a totally invisible and silent person,” said Enid Pérez Rodríguez, public policy coordinator for Proyecto Matria. “That office had no standing.”
Although Boria had taken over for Vázquez Garced, and her term ended in June of 2019, “we did not expect that immediate resignation; I understand that it was pretty hasty, but we were aware that an appointment could arise at any time,” Pérez Rodríguez said. It’s worth noting that every women’s advocate serves a 10-year term by law. Sara Benítez, co-president and co-founder of Women’s Foundation in Puerto Rico Inc., coincides with Pérez Rodríguez in that island feminists haven’t talked about a possible OPM successor but are vigilant that the governor follows Law 20 and the next women’s prosecutor doesn’t have political ties. “Not all organizations are open to this conversation right now because some people believe that the office’s work can’t be rescued at this point,” Pérez Rodríguez said. “Some of us believe that it can, and we will evalu ate the appointment.” Benítez Delgado added that “this office is an achievement of women and feminists in Puerto Rico based on a proposal we made, but political parties have usurped it.”

Both women are wary of talking about potential nominees. Some names are floating around, such as ex-senator Zoe Laboy (who as of this moment doesn’t have the votes, they said) and Reps. Wanda del Valle and Lisie Burgos, both from the conservative wing of the House of Representatives.
Feminists encourage governor to obey the law with nonpolitical women’s advocate appointment
By ALEJANDRA M. JOVER TOVAR Special to The Falejandra.jover@gmail.comSTAR
“Law 20 requires or proposes that the governor guarantee a consultation with women’s organizations and that that consultation is broad and open,” Benítez Delgado said. “Previously, the women constituted themselves and made some recommendations. The last [woman recommended for the post] was Joanne Vélez, a nomination that the Senate did not accept because many religious, homophobic, and lesbophobic reasons upended that appointment in 2009.”
According to Article 4 of Law 20 of 2001, the ap pointee “must be a woman of recognized capacity, professionalism and independence of opinion and who has distinguished herself by her commitment to defending the rights of women and in the fight for the elimination of all manifestations of oppression, mar ginalization, and discrimination.”
“The nominee cannot be conservative or funda mentalist,” advised Pérez Rodríguez, stating that “we will fight that until the end.”
“That is our recommendation, which is what the organizations are asking for,” she said. “The governor and the Senate must respect law and order. For that, there is Law 20, which they have to use for the consultation, nomination, and confirmation process.”

The most important thing, Benítez Delgado said, is that “the nomination has to be as transparent, participa tory and open as possible.”
rom its inception in 2001, the Office of the Women’s Advocate (OPM by its Spanish initials) has been a private organization that ensures that women’s and human rights are respected. Moreover, its prosecutor is not a political appointment, warned two representatives of recognized feminist organizations in Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico Associated Wrestling Federation President Obed Santana said the retirement of the Olympic silver med alist at London in 2012 fills his organization with nostalgia. “We feel a little sad because he has been an excellent athlete and has shown it in the time he was with us. He brought so much glory to Puerto Rico and the Federation,” said Santana, who has been with Puerto Rican Olympic wrestling for more than 35 years as an athlete, national coach, international referee, and now federation president.

The lawsuit calls for an immediate halt to the illegal construction and its complete demolition within 30 days. The mayor noted that the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER) has joined the lawsuit to participate as a technical entity in the case.
COPUR President Sara Rosario Vélez said: “Just today, August 11, 2012, all of Puerto Rico woke up to the news that we had an athlete, Jaime Espinal, who was going to the final of the Olympic wrestling match at the London Olympic Games.”“That day, everyone in Puerto Rico knew who Jaime Espinal was. Everyone, too, knew that Olympic wrestling exists,” said Rosario Vélez, who stood out as chief of the Puerto Rico Delegation at that time. “Jaime’s medal brought a lot of good things to [sports and specifically] Olympic wrestling,” she added. Before London 2012, Puerto Rico had completed 16 years without obtaining a medal. Boxers had occupied the podium with six medals (one silver and five bronze), with Daniel Santos being the last winner in Atlanta 1996.
Salinas sues over illegal construction in maritime-terrestrial zone; DNER joins filing
By THE STAR STAFF Olympic wrestler Jaime Espinal Fajardo announced his retirement Thursday during a ceremony in the Joaquín Martínez Rousset salon of the Puerto Rico Olympic Committee (COPUR by its Spanish acronym) in San Juan.
Carmen Maldonado González said Thursday that what she sees as a crisis in the island Department of Education (DE) goes far beyond the intervention of the U.S. Department of Education. “The crisis comes from above, when Governor Pierluisi himself minimizes the situation, limiting himself to pointing out that he understands that the official whose office was bro ken into will be suspended from employment,” Maldonado González said. “Anyone would say that they are so used to corruption that they do not think the issue matters. It is the same attitude that they had in the [federal corruption] cases of [past Education secretaries] Víctor Fajardo and Julia Keleher. They are the same.”
“Just look at the issue of schools affected by the earthquakes of January 2020,” she said. Maldonado González specifically referred to statements issued back on June 6 by Enrique Questell Pereira, the DE’s director of the Office of infrastructure and Reconstruction. The official acknowledged in the press that some 14 schools in the so-called “ground zero” of the earthquake zone remain to be“Thisrepaired.isthe southern zone of Puerto Rico where it was most important to start the repairs,” she said. “Similarly, 16 schools still remain as temporary schools. Based on the DE’s admission, it won’t be until December that they complete the jobs.”

“Sometimes we want athletes to last us a lifetime. His space and decision are respected. Our respect for Jaime.”
Karilyn Bonilla Colón said Thursday that the municipality filed a preliminary and permanent statutory injunction late last week to cease and demolish a building under construction in the terres trial-maritime zone due to lack of permits. The municipality submitted the lawsuit against Charlene Malavé, Jaime Malavé and Héctor Aquino López from the El Arenal neighborhood.
The 2022-2023 academic year is scheduled to start today, when teachers must report to work. Next Tuesday there will be an open house, and students return to school on Wednesday.
“As soon as we became aware of this illegality, the municipality informed [the aforementioned] citizens, imposing two fines, one for $18,000 and the other for $21,000,” Bonilla Colón said. “We have gone to the court, which has granted a public hearing scheduled for this Monday, August 15, 2022, in the Guayama Court at 3:00 p.m.”
“Today, the bureaucratic problems in the Department of Education will cause chaos when you start the semester and there is no one to direct the campuses,” she said.
A view of the disputed construction in progress.
The Dominican-Puerto Rican athlete won a silver medal at the London Olympics in 2012, becoming the second athlete to win silver after boxer Luis Francisco Ortiz captured one at the Los Angeles Olympic Games in 1984. Espinal Fajardo is the first Puerto Rican Greco-Roman wrestler to win silver in the Olympics; before that, he won gold in the Central American and Caribbean Games in 2010 and bronze in Veracruz in 2014. “A day like today, I had my silver medal in London 2012. Today I want to officially announce that I am retiring from the sport of Olympic wrestling, never to compete again,” said the 38-year-old athlete, who was accompanied by his wife, a Tokyo 2020 Olympic wrestler for Mexico, Jane Valencia, and their daughter Joy. “Yes, I am still part of the Olympic Movement, and I’m still part of what Olympic wrestling is. Extremely grateful. It’s official.”
“Tourism in Puerto Rico is, without a doubt, a great opportunity for well paid jobs and professional growth opportunities,” said Clarissa Jiménez, president of the Puerto Rico Hotel and Tourism Association. “One of the ben efits of this industry is that it offers good jobs at all levels. We continue to see an encouraging outlook for tourism in Puerto Rico, and we are confident that this will continue in the remainder of 2022 and 2023.”
Tourism Economics estimates that in the most conservative scenario, nonresident visitors will spend $5.447 billion in the island economy in 2022. This would represent a growth of 18.9% compared to what was achieved in 2021. Similarly, room tax collections in the first half of 2022 were 36% better than in the same period of 2021. Also, the second quarter of 2022 showed accommodation rev enue at 23% above the previous year.
Students will be able to enjoy a dis count of 50% if they buy their stu dent cards with the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTOP by its Spanish acronym) to use the Urban Train, Urban Metro, Metro Bus and Your Connection services.
“We invite all students to use the Integrated Transportation Authority (ATI by its Spanish initials) system, a punctual, reliable and safe alternative in places with ample parking in different stations,” DTOP Secretary Eileen Vélez Vega said in a press release. “With them, students in the metropolitan area can reach dozens of universities and educational institutions without depending on the car, avoiding vehicular congestion, and without spending on gasoline.”
Island leisure & hospitality sectors setting records for jobs in 2022
Since the beginning of 2022, Puerto Rico has broken its record for jobs in the leisure and hospitality sec tors every month, thus accentuating the economic recovery exhibited by much of the Puerto Rican tourism industry after the financial stress suffered with the COVID-19 pandemic. In November 2015, a record for jobs in those sectors was set with 82,300 workers. That high was initially broken in November 2021 (83,000 jobs). Starting in January 2022, each month has seen a figure that surpasses the previous record to reach 86,700 workers in June of this year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). The federal agency has not yet released data for July.

“The current leisure and hospitality employment statistics confirm that the tourism industry in Puerto Rico contin ues to strengthen steadily. Thanks to the combined efforts between the public and private sectors, in recent months, we have not only seen a sustained increase in jobs, but we have also achieved his torical figures in room tax collections and passengers transiting through our airports,” commented Carlos Mercado, executive director of the Puerto Rico TourismAccordingCo. to the BLS, in the last 12 months, jobs in the island leisure and hospitality sectors increased by 15.4%. This is the highest percentage increase among all industries for the same period. A 9.6% increase follows it in professional and business services, which includes those who work in technical or scien tific areas and those who offer admin istrative services. Between January and June 2022, the tourism industry added 3,300 new jobs. This level of growth was surpassed only by the professional and business services sector, which added 8,400 new jobs in the same period, ac cording to seasonally adjusted nonfarm wage employment data from the BLS. The growth in the number of em ployees coincides with substantial improvements exhibited by the tourism industry in areas such as lodging income, visitor expenses and room tax revenues.

Commonwealth, federal officials to hold economic development dialogue in DC
“This is our local government working together with the federal government for the benefit of our citizens,” Pierluisi said.
Urrutia, along with the Deputy U.S. Secretary of Commerce Don Graves, announced on Thursday that an “Economic Dialogue” to outline public policy strategies shared between the federal and commonwealth governments that have a direct impact on the island will soon take place in Washington, D.C.
Puerto Rico’s Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA) for Roosevelt Roads is issuing a request for proposals (RFP) through a design competition for the development and construction of the Marine Business, Research and Innovation CenterThe(MBRIC).RFPseeks qualified architectural and engineering firms able to provide a full range of services – including studies, design, sustainability design, permits procurement and other services for the MBRIC. Located in the eastern region of the island -- specifically in the former Coast Guard Pier at Roosevelt Roads in the munici pality of Ceiba -- the project will be developed in conjunction with Bluetide Puerto Rico Inc., which collaborated with the LRA in the development of the program, as well as in establishing the needs and requirements necessary for the development of the MBRIC, according to a statement. Bluetide will be responsible for overseeing the operation and maintenance of the facilities. The development of MBRIC is funded through a $16 million grant issued to the LRA on June 26, 2021 by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s Economic De velopment Administration (EDA). Along with Bluetide, the LRA’s determination is to operate the MBRIC as a hub, bringing together marine-related businesses and scientific knowledge. Ultimately, the center will work as an education, training and certification facility to foster marine-related technical skills, contributing to the 200 nautical miles of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

“... [A]s the president himself told me just two days ago: ‘Puerto Rico is a top priority for me, so I want to know exactly what you see, what you hear, what the governor and his cab inet need, and everything the people of Puerto Rico need,’” Graves said. “That’s why we’re excited to announce today that the federal government is working with the state government to host this Economic Dialogue [... which] will help the federal government, as well as the state government, to outline shared public policy priorities that will benefit all Puerto Ricans even more with the unprecedented disbursement of federal funds.”
Graves, who will serve as coordinator for the economic development of Puerto Rico, commented that the recovery of the island is a priority for President Joe Biden, and thanked Pierluisi “for his collaboration and commitment.”

Prior to the press conference, Pierluisi met with Graves, Sierra Zorita, island Secretary of State Omar Marrero Díaz, Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration Director Carmen Feliciano, as well as other island government officials and heads of several commonwealth agencies.
During the announcement, at which the deputy director of the White House Office of Intergovernmental Affairs for Puerto Rico and the Territories, Gretchen Sierra Zorita, was also pres ent, Pierluisi said that with the Economic Dialogue “we will be working together so that Puerto Rico reaches its highest potential in terms of its economic development strategies.”
Pierluisi said the joint efforts include officials from 17 federal agencies focused on four direct care pillars, including investment in human capital, workforce development, energy access and resilience, and economic diversification, as well as better governance and access to data.
Formerly used for sugar cane cultivation and cattle grazing, Roosevelt Roads was a military installation since its acquisition and development by the Navy in the 1940s, until its closure in 2004. The property is a unique, rare resource, having been isolated from normal development trends since the beginning of the last century and situated along the foothills of El Yunque National Rainforest. Thus, it represents an interesting mix of natural ecological areas (where some 3,340 acres are under the care of the Conservation Trust), physical infrastructure, a major airfield with an 11,000-foot-long runway (under the care of the Puerto Rico Ports Authority), and waterfront development areas.
“This is a follow-up visit to continue this direct coordination in which we identify areas of need and opportunity, as well as the actions that we are going to take together to strengthen our strategies,” the governor said. “Between today and tomorrow we will have meetings at all levels of our government, as well as with private companies and the nongovernmental sector.”
The EEZ is an area of the sea in which the U.S. Caribbean has particular rights to explore, research, develop and use the ocean’s marine resources. Therefore, MBRIC has the potential to advance the EEZ of the U.S Caribbean and attract innovative marine-related industries, including energy production from water and wind. With the LRA Roosevelt Roads promoting the preservation and regeneration of the marine environment, the design com petition represents an opportunity to set standards within the “blue economy” of the Caribbean, uniting a broad network that includes academia, the scientific community, marine-related businesses, policymakers and the general public. At the same time, the project stands to become an architectural reference of considerable impact, following the LRA’s vision to transform Roosevelt Roads. It is advisable, but not a requirement, for re spondents to the design competition to have prior experience working with the EDA’s terms and conditions for construction projects, including (but not limited to) environmental and engi neering requirements. It is also recommended that respondents have experience working with projects funded by the EDA or similar federal agency programs. Moreover, it is advisable, but also not a requirement, for respondents to have prior experience working with solid waste management unit sites under envi ronmental remediation by the U.S. Navy or a federal agency, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976.
Donald Trump has long derided public figures who invoke their constitutional right against self incrimination, but on Wednesday he took full advantage of the Fifth Amendment. For hours under oath, Trump sat across from the New York state attorney general, Letitia James, responding to every question posed by her investigators by repeating the phrase “same answer” over and over again.
“I once asked, ‘If you’re innocent, why are you taking the Fifth Amendment?’” he said while reading from a prepared state ment, which overlapped significantly with one he released to the public. “I now know the answer to that question.” He said that he was being targeted by lawyers, prosecutors and the news media, and that left him with “absolutely no choice” but to do so.

Trump’s only detailed comment, people with knowledge of the proceeding said, was an all-out attack on the attorney general and her inquiry, which he called a continuation of “the greatest witch hunt in the history of our country.”
James is now left with a crucial de cision: whether to sue Trump, or seek a settlement that could extract a significant financial penalty. And while declining to answer questions might have offered the safest route for the former president, it could strengthen James’ hand in the weeks to come.Ina statement on Wednesday, a spoke person for James said, “Attorney General James will pursue the facts and the law wherever they may lead. Our investigation continues.”Theencounter, the first time the former president had faced off directly with James, who has become his chief antagonist in New York, came at a particularly perilous moment for Trump. On Monday, the FBI searched his Florida home and private club in Palm Beach, Florida, as part of an investigation into sensitive material that he took when he left the White House. The search was an embarrassing re minder of the multiple inquiries swirling around the former president in connection with his conduct in the final weeks of his presidency. In addition to the investigation that triggered the FBI’s search, federal pro secutors are questioning witnesses about his involvement in efforts to reverse his election loss; a House select committee held a series of hearings tying him more closely to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol; and a district attorney in Georgia is investigating potential election interference on the part of Trump and his allies. James is conducting a civil inquiry, and she cannot file criminal charges against the former president. But the Manhattan district attorney’s office has been con ducting a parallel criminal investigation into whether Trump fraudulently inflated valuations of his properties. That investigation factored into Trump’s decision not to respond to ques tions, a person with knowledge of his thinkingAnysaid.misstep could have breathed new life into that inquiry, which lost momentum earlier this year, and the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, had said he would monitor the interview closely. There were other compelling reasons for Trump to hold his tongue. If the attor ney general had found that any of Trump’s

Former President Donald Trump gestures as he leaves Trump Tower in New York on Wed nesday morning, Aug. 10, 2022.

Having been persuaded not to an swer questions by his legal team, Donald Trump departed Trump Tower at 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday. After waving to a small crowd that had gathered outside the building, he headed downtown to James’ office with a convoy of black SUVs, arriving around 9 a.m. His deposition began soon after and opened with James introducing herself and the investigation. She then turned over the questioning to one of her office’s lawyers, Kevin Wallace. One of Trump’s lawyers, Ronald P. Fischetti, said that over the course of about four hours, Trump answered only a question about his name. Trump’s legal team had not alerted the attorney general that he planned to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights. This account of the deposition is based on interviews with people familiar with the proceeding, some of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity to answer ques tions about a confidential proceeding. After being asked his name, the former president read his statement an nouncing that intention into the record. In the statement, he called James, who was sitting a few feet away, a “renegade prosecutor.”
responses contradicted evidence from its inquiry, the inconsistency could have prompted a separate perjury investiga tion. But his decision could have a significant impact on any trial if James’ investigation leads to a lawsuit. Jurors in civil matters can in many cases draw a negative inference when a defendant invokes his or her Fifth Amendment privilege, unlike in criminal cases, where exercising the right against selfincrimination cannot be held against the defendant. And if James prevails at civil trial — a judge could impose steep financial penalties on Trump and restrict his busi ness operations in New York. With that threat in hand, James’ lawyers could use Trump’s refusal to answer questions as leverage in settle mentHavingtalks. stayed silent could also hurt Trump politically at a time when he is hinting that he will join the 2024 presidential race; it could raise questions about what he might be trying to hide. For years, Trump has treated every thing that happens on a legal front with his business as a potential opportunity to shape public perception. Perhaps not this time. The investigation by the New York attorney general is very much a legal problem, and not answering questions was, first and foremost, a legal maneuver. Still, the former president has long considered himself his best spokesman, and those who had questioned him in the past, as well as some of his own advisers, believed he was unlikely to stay quiet.Trump has ridiculed witnesses who have refused to answer questions, once remarking at a rally that refusing to answer questions under oath was an indication of guilt relied upon by the mafia. “You see the mob takes the Fifth,” he said. (In fact, he has exercised his Fifth Amendment right before, refusing to answer questions in a deposition taken in connection with his divorce from his first wife, Ivana Trump.)
After reading the statement, Trump began repeating the words “same an swer.” It was “same answer” until the lawyers broke for lunch, and “same answer” after that until, shortly after 3 p.m., the interview ended and Trump left the building. Altogether, he spoke those words more than 400 times, a person with knowledge of the interview said. The interview was significantly shorter than that of his daughter Ivanka Trump, who did not finish answering questions until the evening when she was questioned days earlier. Neither she nor Donald Trump Jr., who was also interviewed in recent days, invoked the Fifth Amendment. But Eric Trump, who was interviewed in October 2020, cited the amendment hundreds of times. Since March 2019, James’ office has investigated whether Donald Trump and his company improperly inflated the value of his hotels, golf clubs and other assets. Trump has long dismissed the inquiry from James, and fought hard against sitting for questioning under oath, but was compelled to do so after multiple judges ruled against him this spring. Shortly after questioning began on Wednesday morning, Trump’s of fice released the statement saying he would invoke his Fifth Amendment right, explaining that he “declined to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the United States Constitution.” The statement he released publicly and the one he read at the start of the interview explicitly linked his refusal to answer questions to the FBI’s search of his home, casting the actions as part of a grander conspiracy. (The two investi gations are not linked.) In seeking to fend off a lawsuit from James — and in negotiating a possible settlement with her investigators — Trump’s lawyers would be likely to argue that valuing real estate is a subjective process, and that his company simply estimated the value of his properties, without intending to artificially inflate them. While James has contended in court papers that the Trump Organi zation provided bogus valuations to banks to secure favorable loans, Trump’s lawyers might argue that those were sophisticated financial institutions that turned a hefty profit from their dealings with Trump.Thedeposition of Trump repre sented the culmination of months of legal wrangling. In January, Trump asked a judge in New York to strike down a subpoena from James seeking his tes timony and personal documents. The judge, Arthur F. Engoron, sided with James and ordered the Trumps to testify, a ruling that an appellate court upheld. And at James’ request, Engoron held Trump in contempt of court, finding that he had failed to comply with the terms of James’ subpoena seeking his documents. It was an embarrassing twoweek episode that compelled Trump to pay a $110,000 penalty.
Trump is no stranger to facing ques tions under oath, having once boasted that he has sat for “over 100 depositions.” A lawyer who once questioned Trump described him as “completely fearless in a deposition.” Until now, he rarely passed up an opportunity to answer questions — or spar with his questioners. He once told a lawyer that her questions were “very stupid.”
Former President Donald Trump leaves Trump Tower in New York on Wednesday morning, Aug. 10, 2022.
Trump has also opined on the pros and cons of a president answering ques tions under oath. In 1998, he suggested that President Bill Clinton should have relied on the Fifth Amendment during that era’s impeachment investigation. “It’s a terrible thing for a president to take the Fifth Amendment, but he prob ably should have done it,” Trump said.

By MICHAEL D. SHEAR President Joe Biden earlier this week signed into law a bill that expands medical benefits for veterans who were exposed to toxins from burning pits of trash on military bases, ending a yearslong quest for support by veterans and their Thefamilies.issue is deeply personal for the president, who has long specu lated that his son Beau developed brain cancer because of exposure to burn pits when he served in Iraq as a member of the Delaware National Guard. Before signing the legislation, Biden described the lingering effects of the“Toxicexposures.smoke, thick with poi sons, spreading through the air and into the lungs of our troops,” he said. “When they came home, many of the fittest and best warriors that we sent to war were not the same. Headaches, numbness, dizziness, cancer. My son, Beau, was one of them.”
The San Juan Daily Star August 12-14, 2022 9
Danielle Robinson, wife of Sgt. Heath Robinson, who died of lung cancer after serving in Iraq, spent years helping to lead the fight for the new veterans benefits. The legislation was named after her husband. In her own remarks at the White House, Robinson described how her husband developed cancer a decade after returning from combat. She thanked Biden and the other acti vists for pushing lawmakers to pass legislation that will make it easier to receive medical treatment and benefits after similar exposures. “So many veterans are still batt ling burn pit illnesses today,” she said. “Too many have succumbed to those illnesses as well. And I’m honored to be with the father of another military family that understands the ultimate sacrifice like we do — our comman der in chief, President Joe Biden.” Beau Biden died of brain cancer in 2015.
In a ceremony packed with ve terans and their families in the East Room of the White House, Biden called the new law progress toward fulfilling “a sacred obligation” to those who defended the nation and their families. The law passed despite a last-minute delay by Republican senators, who blocked its passage but backed down after an intense backlash. “This is the most significant law our nation has ever passed to help millions of veterans who are exposed to toxic substances during their military services,” Biden said, adding a few minutes later: “This law is long overdue. We finally got it done, together.” The legislation addresses the effects that some veterans have su ffered after sleeping and working in proximity to large fires on military bases where trash — including tires, jet fuel, chemicals and other equip ment — was burned, creating large clouds of smoke. Research suggests that toxins in the smoke may be res ponsible for a series of ailments su ffered by veterans, including cancer, bronchial asthma, allergic rhinitis, sleep apnea, bronchitis and sinusitis. The new law, known as the PACT Act, makes it easier for veterans who believe they were exposed to toxins during their service to apply for me dical benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs. The law creates a $280 billion stream of federal funding, making it one of the largest expansions of veterans benefits in American history. In his remarks, Biden praised the many years of work by family members and activists, singling out comedian Jon Stewart for his impassioned and sometimes angry demands that politicians pass the bill. “What you’ve done, Jon, mat ters, and you know it does,” Biden said to Stewart, who was in the room for the signing ceremony. “You should know. It really, really matters. You refused to let anybody forget. Refused to let them forget, and we owe you big, man.”Stewart, who has been lobbying for the bill for years, was particularly vocal last month, when Republican senators abruptly refused to support the measure, citing concerns that it was structured in a way that could create a costly new entitlement. The legislation had passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in the House, and the Republican senators who objected had voiced their firm support only weeks earlier. Appearing on CNN after the Republicans blocked the bill, Stewart was livid, helping to spur an intense reaction that led to the bill’s final passage days later. “I’m used to lies. I’m used to hy pocrisy. I’m used to their cowardice,” Stewart told Jake Tapper on CNN’s “The Lead” program. “I’m not used to the cruelty, the casual cruelty.” In his remarks Wednesday, Bi den did not mention the Republican obstruction. Instead, he focused on the bipartisan nature of the agree ment, citing its passage as evidence that he has made good on his promise to bridge ideological divides in the nation’s capital to get things done. “I don’t want to hear the press tell me Democrats, Republicans can’t work together,” he said. “We got it done, and we got it done together.”

Biden signs bill to help veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits

In all three cases in which Syed was charged, prosecutors eventually dismissed the cases because the victims — his son, his wife and his daughter’s boyfriend — did not want to pursue the charges, according to a spokesperson for the Bernalillo County district attorney’s of fice. In the complaint released on Wednesday, police cited ballistic evidence as part of what led them to arrest Syed on suspicion of carrying out the Aug. 1 killing of Muhammad Afzaal Hussain, a 27-year-old urban planner, and the July 26 killing of Aftab Hussein, 41, who worked at a cafe. Police also have said they consider Syed to be the “most likely” suspect in the November 2021 killing of Mohammad Ahmadi, 62, and that of 25-year-old Naeem Hussain on Friday. Syed appeared before a judge through a video feed on Wednesday afternoon, with his hands cuffed and chained to his ankles. He was wearing orange sandals and a red jumpsuit with the words “High Risk” on the back. Judge Renée Torres said she was transferring the case to a district court, where a determination would be made about whether to set Syedbail. arrived in the United States about six years ago and had known the most recent victim, Naeem Hussain, since 2016, according to the law enforcement complaint, which did not describe the men’s relationship further. Hussain, who had family roots in Afghanistan and Pakistan, had worked as a caseworker for Lutheran Family Services, which has helped resettle many Afghan families in Albuquerque, before starting his own trucking company.Hussain was shot in the parking lot of the resettlement agency, hours after he attended a funeral for the two victims that Syed has been charged with killing. Farid Sharifi, the program director at the agency, declined to say whether the group had helped resettle Syed’sAfterfamily.detaining Syed, police searched his home early Tuesday and found two guns, one in Syed’s room and one in the room of Shaheen Syed, the son who was later charged with lying to purchase the rifles. The son said he purchased a pistol with his father in July, when his father also purchased a rifle, according to the complaint. Police said the elder Syed bought a scope for his rifle on Aug. 1.
Syed was arrested less than a year later when his wife told police that he had grabbed her by the hair while she was driving and had later thrown her to the ground in the waiting room of a human services of fice. Then, in December 2018, police arrived at Syed’s home to find his son with a cut on the back of his head. The son said his father had struck both him and his mother with a spoon during an argument.Atleast two other fights involved a man who was dating Syed’s daughter, Lubna Syed, now 25, according to police records.
Man charged in Albuquerque killings had been accused of beating relatives
In December 2017, several months after the altercation with his daughter, police arrested Syed when Lubna Syed’s boyfriend reported that Syed, his wife and one of their sons had pulled him out of Lubna Syed’s car and beat him until he was bloody and bruised. The boyfriend told the police that Syed and his family had attacked him because they did not approve of the relationship.
The Afghan man accused of killing two Muslim men in Albuquerque had been charged in a series of assaults in recent years, accused of beating his wife and son and attacking a man whom his daughter was dating, according to police records released Wednesday.Eachtime, prosecutors dismissed the charges against the man, Muhammad Syed, 51, who is the leading suspect in the shooting deaths of four Muslim men, three of them over a recent 10-day stretch, that have shaken the tight-knit Muslim community in Albuquerque. Syed, who is also Muslim, was arrested on Monday by police of ficers who stopped his car about 100 miles from the Texas state line. In a criminal complaint, a police of ficer wrote that Syed had said he was driving to Houston to find a new place for his family to live because things were “bad” in Albuquerque, and he referred to the recent shootings. Police said they found a handgun in the car and a spent bullet casing between the windshield and the dashboard. Tests on the handgun, the spent casing and casings that were found at the scene of a killing on Aug. 1 were all a presumptive match, police wrote in the complaint.Thearrest of Syed was quickly followed on Wednesday by the arrest of one of his sons, Shaheen Syed, whom federal prosecutors charged with lying about where he lived when he purchased two rifles last year. Police records obtained by The New York Times indicate that Muhammad Syed had a series of arguments with family members in recent years that had sometimes turned physical. In one instance, in 2017, he refused to let his daughter leave the house to attend a college class without being accompanied by one of her brothers, according to an of ficer’s report, which said the daughter appeared to have swelling around her eye but had asked police not to arrest her father.

Police said that both of the victims whom Muhammad Syed has been accused of killing were shot more than once. A detective wrote in the complaint that the gunman who killed Aftab Hussein appeared to have waited in the bushes near where Hussein parked his car and then shot Hussein when he stepped outside. Several bullet casings were found at the scene.Sixdays later, police said, Muhammad Afzaal Hussain was on a video call with a friend about 8:35 p.m. when he told the friend that he had to go to take another call. Hussain was shot about 40 minutes later and was found on a sidewalk about a block away from a nearby park. Police said they found seven 9-mm bullet casings at the scene that were later identified as a likely match to the handgun in Syed’s car, and seven casings of another type that matched the ones found at the scene of Hussein’s killing.
Police found yed several hours later in a hospital emergency room with a cut on his chest. He told the police that his daughter’s boyfriend had slashed him with a knife after he and his wife had confronted him about the relationship, according to a police report. Two months later, the same man reported to police that Syed had threatened to kill him during an argument over his relationship with Syed’s daughter, but the man declined to press charges, according to a police report from that incident. Deed records indicate that the man and Lubna Syed purchased a home together in Albuquerque in November 2021.
By JEANNA SMIALEK Inflation cooled notably in July as gas prices and airfares fell, a welcome reprieve for consu mers and a positive development for economic policymakers in Washington — though not yet a conclusive sign that price increases have turned a corner.The consumer price index climbed 8.5% in the year through July, a slower pace than eco nomists had expected and considerably less than the 9.1% increase in the year through June. After food and fuel costs are stripped out to better un derstand underlying cost pressures, prices climbed 5.9%, matching the previous reading.
Policymakers have been hoping for more than a year that price increases will begin to cool, only to have those ex pectations repeatedly dashed. Supply chain issues have made goods more expensive, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent com modity prices soaring, a shortage of workers pushed wages and service prices higher and a dearth of housing has fueled rising Thererents. have been recent signs of progress on at least two of these fronts, with gas prices falling and supply chain strains showing some improvement. Wednesday’s report also sugges ted that prices on hotel rooms and plane tickets have begun to ease, after surging this summer as people took long-delayed vacations. The question now is how durable the changes will prove. A range of commodity prices have drop ped in recent months, and gas in particular is becoming cheaper. The average cost of a gallon began to fall back toward $4 in July after pea king at $5 in June, based on data from AAA. That decline helped overall inflation to cool last month. The trend has continued into August, which should help inflation to continue to mo derate.But it is unclear what will happen next.
Produce at a supermarket in Brooklyn on Tuesday, Aug. 9, 2022. Food prices continued to soar in July, rising 1.1 percent from the previous month as con sumers shelled out more for butter, sugar, flour and other goods.
The marked deceleration in overall inflation — on a monthly basis, prices barely moved — is another sign of economic improvement that could boost President Joe Biden at a time when rapid price increases have been burdening consumers and eroding voter confidence. The new data came on the heels of an unexpectedly strong jobs re port last week that underscored the economy’s momentum.Theslowdown in overall inflation stemmed from falling prices for gas, airfares, used cars and hotel rooms, which cance led out increases in critical areas like food and rent. Because the categories in which prices fell can be volatile, and because some of the goods and services that are rapidly increasing in price tend to be slower moving, the report’s underlying details suggest that inflation pressures remain unusually hot below the surface. Even so, as some everyday purchases become cheaper, at least temporarily, and the job market stays strong, Ameri cans may begin to feel better about their personal financial situations.“Itunderscores

price increases are also likely to reassure the Federal Reserve, which has been waiting for any sign that in flation is starting to moderate. But central bankers are likely to see this as a first step in the right direction rather than a de finitive victory, because the cost of many goods and services continued to pick up rapidly even as gas and travel-related price declines pulled overall inflation lower. “On the surface, this is good news for the Fed,” said Omair Sharif, founder of Inflation Insights. “This is the first baby step toward the moderation they want to see on a regu lar basis.”Fed officials remain committed to wrestling America’s rapid inflation lower, and they have raised interest rates at the quickest pace since the 1980s to try to slow the economy and bring supply and demand into balance — making supersize rate moves of three-quarters of a percentage point at each of their past two meetings. Another big adjustment will be up for debate at their next meeting in September, policymakers have said.But investors interpreted July’s unexpectedly pronoun ced inflation slowdown as a sign that policymakers could take a gentler route, raising rates a half-point next month. Stocks soared by more than 2% on Wednesday, as Wall Street bet that the Fed might become less aggressive, which would de crease the chances that it would plunge the economy into a recession.“Itwas as good as the markets and the Fed could have hoped for from this report,” said Aneta Markowska, chief fi nancial economist at Jefferies. “I do think it removes the ur gency for the Fed.” Still, officials who spoke on Wednesday remained cau tious about inflation. Neel Kashkari, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, called the report the “first hint” of a move in the right direction, while Charles Evans, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, said that it was “po sitive” but that price increases remained “unacceptably high.”
The Fed aims for 2% inflation over time, based on a different but related inflation measure. For many Americans who are struggling to adjust their lifestyles to rapidly climbing costs at the grocery store and dry cleaners, an annual inflation rate that is still more than four times its normal speed is unlikely to feel like a big improve ment, even as lower gas prices and rising pay rates do offer some Stephanierelief. Bailey, 54, has a solid family income in Waco, Texas. Even so, she has been cutting back on meals at TexMex restaurants and new clothes because of the climbing pri ces, which she sees “everywhere.” At Starbucks, she opts for cold, noncoffee drinks, which in some cases are cheaper. Her son, who is in his 20s, has moved back in with his parents. Rent had become out of reach on his salary working at a vitamin manufacturer. He is now teaching at a high school. “It’s just so expensive, with housing,” Bailey said. “He was having a hard time making ends meet.”

Inflation cooled in July, welcome news for White House and Fed
The U.S. Energy Information Administration expects that fuel costs will continue to come down, but geopolitical instability and the speed of U.S. oil and gas production during hurricane season, which can take refineries offline, are wild cards in that outlook. Rents of primary residences climbed 0.7% in July from the prior month, and are up 6.3% over the past year. Before the pandemic, that measure typically climbed about 3.5% annually.Those forces could keep inflation undesirably rapid even if supply chains unsnarl and fuel prices continue to fall.
Disney profit jumps 50%, and streaming subscribers surpass Net flix
However, a shift in the timing of this year’s NBA Finals, soccer programming and the Academy Awards provided Disney’s traditional television business with an upbeat quarter. Revenue for the division, which includes ABC, ESPN, FX, the Disney Channel and National Geographic, totaled $7 billion, up 3% from a year earlier, and profit of $2.5 billion, a 13% increase.Streaming, on the other hand, continues to lose money as Disney spends aggressively on content, marketing and technology infrastructure. Losses for Disney’s streaming division exceeded $1 billion, compared with a loss of $300 million a year earlier. Streaming revenue climbed 19%, to $5.1 billion. Prices for a bundle of Disney’s three streaming services will range from $13 a month (with ads) to an unchanged $20 a month (without ads on Disney+ or Hulu but with ads on ESPN+). “We will be providing greater consumer choice at a variety of price points to cater to the diverse needs of our viewers and appeal to an even broader audience,” said Kareem Daniel, chair of Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution, in a Disneystatement.saidHulu had about 46.2 million subscribers, an 8% increase from a year earlier. About 23 million people paid for ESPN+ access, up 53%. Disney+ had 152.1 million subscribers, a 31% increase. As part of its updated guidance for growth, Disney disclosed for the first time that — without India — it expects Disney+ to have between 135 million and 165 million subscribers by the end of the 2024 fiscal year, roughly on a par with expectations. However, Disney said it now expected to have roughly 80 million subscribers in India by 2024, a decline that reflects the loss of the cricket streaming rights.
“We are taking a thoughtful approach by launching with a lower ad load and frequency to ensure a great experience for viewers,” Bob Chapek, Disney’s CEO, told analysts on an earnings-related conference call Wednesday. Disney’s board recently renewed Chapek’s contract untilStrong2025.demand for theme-park vacations — despite economists’ worries about an inflation-led downturn in consumer spending — powered Disney’s increase in profitability. Revenue totaled $21.5 billion, a 26% increase from a year earlier. Operating profit surged 50%, to $3.6 billion. Analysts had been expecting revenue of about $21 billion and profit of about $3.2 billion, according to FactSet. Disney shares rose about 6% in after-hours trading to roughly $120. Disney’s quarterly results stood in contrast to those of competing media companies, with Comcast disappointing investors with a stagnant Peacock streaming service, and shares of Warner Bros. Discovery plunging because of lower profit guidance. Netflix also had a lackluster quarter; last month, it reported 220.7 million subscribers, a loss of nearly 1 million. “Disney still faces economic uncertainty and intense competition,” Paul Verna, principal analyst at Insider Intelligence, a research firm, said in an email, “but its quarterly performance should at least temporarily put to rest some of Wall Street’s gloomier perceptions about the company and, more broadly, about the entertainmentEconomistsindustry.”have long watched Disney’s theme parks as informal barometers of consumer confidence. Historically, when budgets get tight, families cut back on trips to Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California. That does not appear to be happening. Disney Parks, Experiences and Products reported quarterly revenue of $7.4 billion, up from $4.3 billion a year earlier, and an operating profit of $2.2 billion, up from $356 million. A year ago, because of the coronavirus pandemic, most of Disney’s theme parks were operating at reduced capacity and Disney Cruise Line was not operating at all. Since April, Disney’s domestic parks and cruise ships have been generally operating without coronavirusrelated capacity restrictions, the company said. Disney parks have also started to charge for line-shortening privileges, which has opened up a colossal new revenue stream. New rides have also debuted. Disney’s 22 domestic hotels had an occupancy rate of 90% in the quarter, Christine M. McCarthy, Disney’s chief financial officer, told analysts on the conference call. Bookings for the rest of the year are “roughly in line” with pre-pandemic levels, she added, and park attendance on “many days” has exceeded 2019 levels.Disney’s traditional financial engine — cable television — has been under increasing strain because consumers are canceling cable hookups at an accelerated pace. In the United States, about 7.5% of cable customers cut the cord in the most recent quarter, up from 4% a year earlier, according to estimates from the research firm LightShed Partners. Cable channels have been largely gutted of the best programming beyond live sports. Top entertainment content is now funneled to streaming services.

By BROOKS BARNES Bucking a streaming slowdown that has recently bedeviled Hollywood, Disney+ added 14.4 million subscribers in the most recent quarter, about 45% more than Wall Street had expected and lifting Disney’s portfolio of streaming services to 221 million subscribers worldwide, edging ahead of Netflix for the first time.As expected, however, Disney acknowledged Wednesday that its quest to attract 230 million to 260 million subscribers with Disney+ alone by 2024 would be hampered by the loss of streaming rights to popular cricket matches in India. The company’s new subscriber guidance is 215 million to 245 million by 2024, with India almost entirely accounting for the decrease. Disney reaffirmed its promise that Disney+ will be profitable by that year. Disney released the figures Wednesday as part of a blockbuster quarterly earnings report. The company also announced price increases for Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+, as well as details of a new version of Disney+ that will includeStartingadvertising.Dec. 8, the current ad-free version of Disney+ will cost $11 a month, up from $8.

Boosting the blue-chip Dow and the S&P 500, banks extended their rally by 1.2% with Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase & Co up 1.3% and 0.8%, respectively. At 12:25 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 155.20 points, or 0.47%, at 33,464.71, the S&P 500 was up 14.82 points, or 0.35%, at 4,225.06, and the Nasdaq Composite was down 5.68 points, or 0.04%, at 12,849.13.Thetech-heavy Nasdaq lagged its peers as many mega cap growth and technology stocks reversed early gains as U.S. Treasury yields pared losses. “Some traders are looking to start taking some prof its but clearly the short-term direction is higher, not lower pending additional macro data,” said Michael James, man aging director of institutional equity trading at Wedbush Securities.High-growth stocks that had rallied in the previous ses sion and whose valuations are vulnerable to rising bond yields, such as Tesla Inc and Amazon.com Inc, fell nearly 1% each as the benchmark 10-year yield rose to 2.83%.

S&P 500 at three-month high on rising bets of smaller rate hikes
The San Juan Daily Star August 12-14, 2022 13 Stocks
The S&P 500 was trading at its highest level in more than three months on Thursday, extending a rally from the previous session as fresh evidence of cooling in flation further cemented hopes of a smaller rise in interest rates.The benchmark index rose after data showed U.S. pro ducer prices unexpectedly fell in July, bolstering the chance of a 50-basis point hike by the Federal Reserve in Septem ber instead of 75 basis points. Meanwhile, the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose for the second straight week, indicating further softening in the labor mar ket despite tight conditions. The indexes had sharply rallied on Wednesday fol lowing a softer-than-expected rise in consumer prices. The gains came even as policymakers left no doubt they will tighten monetary policy until price pressures are fully bro ken.“These economic numbers don’t deviate too much from the expectation that the economy continues to do okay and perhaps inflation is at least a bit under control,” said Ted Weisberg, the founder and president of Seaport Securities.“Themarkets are anxious to get some good news after what has been horrible first six months of the year.” Traders are now pricing in a more than 63.5% chance that the Fed will hike interest rate by 50 basis points. Eight of the 11 major S&P 500 indexes advanced, with financials and industrials adding nearly 1% each, while en ergy stocks tracked gains in crude prices.

Russia’s Defense Ministry has played down the extent of the damage, saying that a munitions blast had left no casual ties and that no equipment had been destroyed. But witness reports of multiple explosions at the base — and videos and photographs posted to social media showing plumes of smoke rising from the scene and what appeared to be the nose cone of a jet — were piercing the Kremlin’s narrative.Yury Podolyaka, a prominent pro-Russian military blogger who is known for posting daily updates from the front lines, called the explosions “an act of sabotage coupled with“Whatnegligence.”didthe commanders of this military unit think about?” he posited in a video post. “I have lots of questions to the commanders of this air force regiment — how can you keep munitions like that?” Officials said at least one person was killed and more than a dozen wounded. Sergei Aksyonov, the Kremlin-ins talled leader of Crimea, said Wednesday that at least 62 apartment buildings and 20 commercial structures had been damaged. He declared a state of emergency and raised the terrorism threat level on the peninsula.
It was unclear who might be tried, but Russian investigators in June said they had opened more than 1,100 cases against Ukrai nians for “crimes against peace.” Those being investigated include members of the Azov re giment, who are widely regarded as heroes in Ukraine for holding out for weeks under neath a Mariupol steel plant as Russian forces bombarded the city at the end of one of the bloodiest battles of the war. Although it is now part of the Ukrainian National Guard, the regiment started out as a far-right militia, and Russian propagandists have consistently pointed to it as evidence to support their unfounded claims about the in fluence of Nazism in the country and have painted its members as war criminals. Boichenko said the Russians might use the occasion of Ukrainian Independence Day — which is celebrated Aug. 24 and marks the nation’s break from the Soviet Union in 1991 — to create their own spectacle with trials. “They will accuse the heroic men and women who were defending our city of des troying our city,” he said.
Pictures released by Planet Labs, a satellite imaging company, on Wednesday appeared to show at least three blast craters in areas where planes were parked near the run ways at the Saki air base, on the western Black Sea coast of Russia-occupied Crimea, leaving blackened debris. Rus sia has played down damage from the explosions Tuesday, which a senior Ukrainian military official has said were the result of an attack by Ukrainian forces and partisan fighters. But with the images indicating an expensive and serious blow to the Russian military, Zelenskyy alluded to the epi sode for the first time in his nightly address, and he put the number of lost Russian warplanes at nine. “In just one day, the occupiers lost 10 combat aircraft: nine in Crimea and one more in the direction of Zapori zhzhia,” he said Wednesday night.

W ith satellite images showing at least eight wrecked warplanes after explosions at a Russian air base in Crimea, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukrai ne said late Wednesday that Moscow’s mounting losses should persuade its leadership to “find a way out of the war.”
Cages are built inside a music hall, as Russia appears to prepare for trials of Ukrainians
The New York Times has reviewed satellite imagery of the Saki air base, collected by Planet Labs hours before and a day after the explosions. The pictures show at least eight destroyed aircraft, both Su-24 and Su-30 warplanes, all par ked on the base’s western tarmac. The planes cost tens of millions of dollars each. In addition, two buildings near the aircraft appear to have been destroyed, and damage and large burn marks were observable elsewhere at the military base. Other parts of the base appeared intact, including seve ral helicopters and a large ammunition depot.

This week, the sounds of clanging iron echoed through the chamber as Russian occupation forces erected cages to be used in trials of captured Ukrainian soldiers. The construction of the cages, documen ted in the Russian news media, offers perhaps the clearest indication to date that Moscow is preparing to hold show trials of Ukrainian soldiers and others on newly occupied soil, proceedings that some Ukrainian officials and independent observers fear will be designed to deflect responsibility for atrocities commit ted by Russia as their forces laid siege to the city. Denis Pushilin, head of Russian proxy for ces in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, in eastern Ukraine, said Ukrainian soldiers would soon be brought before the court, telling a local Russian news media out let Wednesday, “The first tribunal should be conducted before the end of summer.”

Russian occupation forces have erected cages to be used in trials of captured Ukrainian soldiers.
The prospect of such trials has sparked outrage across Ukraine and calls by Ukrainian officials for the United Nations and Red Cross to intervene more forcefully to protect priso ners.The Kremlin has a long and brutal history of using the trappings of legal proceedings to give a veneer of credibility to its efforts to silence critics, impose its own narrative on events and intimidate the public. Similar trials have been held for years in parts of eastern Ukraine controlled by Russia-backed separa tists, with the United Nations and others de nouncing them as deeply flawed.

In an interview Thursday in Kyiv, Ukraine, Vadym Boichenko, the exiled mayor of Ma riupol, said Moscow was desperate to show its people a “victory.” As it fails to advance on the battlefield, he said, they will exploit Ukra inian prisoners of war to intimidate Ukraine and underscore Russian control of Mariupol.

A senior Ukrainian official has said that the blasts were an attack carried out with the help of partisans but was not more specific, and the Ukrainian military has not publicly acknowledged any involvement. Military analysts have said that Ukraine does not have missiles that can reach the base from territory it controls, well over 100 miles away, and that Ukrainian jets would have been unlikely to penetrate that far into Russia-controlled airspace.

The increase in reports of misconduct could be a sign that residents have more ways to report abuse than they did under the previous mayoral administration, said Pablo Vázquez Camacho, a deputy secretary of the city’s main police force. “There is greater opportunity to file re ports by residents,” he said. “It is likely that more investigations are being opened becau se we are investigating more.”
J uan Carlos García Cortés was running errands in Mexico City on his moped when a taxi cut him off and two men jum ped out. They shoved him in the back, threw a jacket over his head and began beating him. García’s abductors weren’t street-level criminals — they were members of Mexico City’s newly created elite police unit tasked with combating kidnapping and extortion, the very crimes inflicted on García. After beating García, the officers threate ned to charge him with homicide if he didn’t pay them 50,000 pesos, about $2,500, ac cording to depositions from the García family and a formal complaint filed with the attorney general’s office. It was more than he earned in eight months at a taco stand where he wor ked. Mexico has long had major problems with corruption within its police forces. However, Mexico City’s ambitious mayor, Claudia Sheinbaum, a top contender to suc ceed the country’s president, made stamping out official corruption in her own force a priority.InJune 2020, just over a year and a half after taking office, she declared victory. “All of those practices involving torture, illegali ty, et cetera, have been totally eliminated,” Sheinbaum said at a news conference. Yet García’s ordeal happened in 2021. The episode is among thousands of mis conduct claims reported by Mexico City resi dents against the capital’s main police force in recent years, despite the mayor’s declara tion. Even senior police officials say corrup tion hasn’t been eradicated from the force of more than 81,000 officers. The numbers bear that out.Interviews with current and former police officers, government records and documents reviewed by The New York Times invol ving illegal arrests and abductions show that Sheinbaum’s police force has, in some ways, gotten worse since she took office. Instead of curbing physical abuse and fal se arrests, police and city officials have turned a blind eye, current and former police officials say — often leaving victims, many of them poor, with little recourse after enduring vio lent human rights abuses. In the nearly four years since Sheinbaum took office, the city’s human rights commis sion has received more than 5,000 reports against the police classified as acts of bodily harm and violations of personal liberty — in cidents that include illegal arrests, torture and deathTherethreats.were more than 1,900 such re ports just in 2021, the highest number in a single year since 2004, when the commission first started publicly categorizing the types of claims made against government employees. Allegations of torture, according to the commission, include electric shocks, stran gulation, simulated executions and sexual as sault. In the first six months of this year, the commission fielded more reports compared with the same period last year. The commission — led by an official elected by Mexico City’s Congress — reviews every report and then refers it to the relevant department for investigation. A police spokes person told the Times that since 2019, 477 officers have been dismissed for not uphol ding the force’s principles or for failing a bac kground check.
The spike in claims of police abuse could also be tied to broader investigative and inte lligence powers given to officers, starting in 2019, to fight crime, according to Miguel Gar za, director of the Institute for Security and Democracy, a Mexican research institute. The main force’s responsibilities were expanded beyond patrolling streets to investi gating crimes ranging from drug trafficking to homicides, and included the creation in 2019 of a task force focused on fighting extortion and kidnapping. “There is pressure from commanders to deliver results,” said Garza, a former Mexico City police commander. “What they’re loo king for is to ensure people are incarcerated, and to do that, at times they might frame a person with drugs.”
Last year, the city’s human rights com mission published a scathing report citing “a series of patterns” of abuses, including torture and arbitrary arrests, by the city police for ce and a smaller force under the Mexico City attorney general’s office In the case of García, his assailants drove him to the Mexico City attorney general’s offi ce after abducting him and parked outside, according to CCTV footage reviewed by the Times.Then someone called his wife, Maria Ka rina Chia Pérez, demanding cash for his relea se and the ownership documents for García’s moped, according to the García family. Chia called everyone she knew but could only come up with half the money. When she couldn’t deliver the bribe, the men changed into uniforms and then marched García into the attorney general headquarters, according to the surveillance footage. García was charged with drug trafficking. The attorney general’s office did not respond to a request for comment. The police report said officers found Gar cía with a bag full of cocaine and marijuana at the very time the surveillance footage showed he was being held in the taxi in front of the attorney general’s office. After seven months in prison, Garcia pleaded guilty in exchange for his conditio nal release. His son was born while he was imprisoned. “It felt terrible, ” García said of pleading guilty. “But on the other hand, I felt better be cause I was going to have my freedom and could see my son.” Now, García is trying to pursue criminal charges against the officers. “I just want justice to be done,” García said.
National
Mexico City declared police abuse over. Reports of misconduct kept rising.
Vázquez, however, disagreed with Sheinbaum’s view that police corruption, in cluding extortion of citizens, had ended. “It is not very realistic to say that it has been eradi cated completely,” he said. “But we are in the process of eradicating it.”
The police abuses heavily target low-in come residents who often cannot afford legal representation, according to current and for mer police officers. “They target these vulnerable groups because they believe they don’t have the knowledge or the education to defend their rights,” said a former Mexico City police offi cer, Jaime Ramón Bernal García, who was accused of disobeying an order and fired in 2014. He said his dismissal came after he had demanded better labor conditions for police officers. He later founded a nonprofit that promotes labor rights for law enforcement.
Taiwanese soldiers firing artillery during a drill in Pingtung, Taiwan, on Wednesday in response to China’s live-fire exercises in waters close to those claimed by the island.
Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, termed the threats to Taiwan as “another reminder that we have entered a new era of authoritarian aggression led by the dictators Xi Jinping of China and Putin of Russia. They are increasingly isolated and dangerous, driven by historical grievances, paranoid about their democratic neighbors and willing to use military force and other aggressive actions to crush the citizens of such countries as we are seeing in the Taiwan Strait and Ukraine.”
T he Biden administration is vowing to continue sailing warships through the Taiwan Strait and to conduct air operations in the region in response to Chinese military drills that U.S. officials say are evolving into a long-term stra tegy of heightened military pressure on the island.
Still, Kunihiko Miyake, a former diplomat and research director at the Canon Institute for Global Studies, said China showed some restraint. “The immediate Chinese reaction is controlled,” Miyake said. “It’s reserved.”
Within a few weeks, officials said, the U.S. Navy is plan ning to run ships through the Taiwan Strait, ignoring China’s recent claim that it controls the entire waterway. Officials said they would not send the Ronald Reagan, the Japanbased aircraft carrier, because it would be too provocative.
US insists it will operate around Taiwan, despite China’s pressure
The San Juan Daily StarAugust 12-14, 202216
Secretary of State Antony Blinken said China “should not hold hostage cooperation on matters of global concern be cause of differences between our two countries.” But other administration officials said China clearly saw climate coo peration as a point of leverage in its dealings with the United States, Western allies and even its Pacific neighbors.
By DAVID E. SANGER, ERIC SCHMITT and BEN DOOLEY
Now, Taiwan has emerged as such a central feature of Xi’s agenda — and such a flashpoint with the United States — that it threatens to overwhelm Biden’s efforts to find a se ries of issues in which the world’s largest and second-largest economies can work together.
Interviews with a variety of administration, intelligen ce and military officials, and outside experts, revealed a growing sense that China’s exercises were not just a reaction to the speaker’s brief visit, but a turning point in China’s stra tegy. Several officials said they believe President Xi Jinping is seeking to demonstrate a greater willingness to use force to accomplish reunification, if necessary.
In Japan, the surprise was that five Chinese missiles lan ded in what the Japanese consider its exclusive economic zone — launches that were widely considered a message to both Tokyo and Washington. The missiles were not far from U.S. bases in Okinawa.
Administration officials said they did not want to escala te the tense confrontation, which China maintains was pro voked by last week’s visit to the island by Speaker Nancy Pelosi. But in interviews and public statements, American and Taiwanese officials made clear they now believe China used Pelosi’s visit as a pretext to step up its operations to intimidate Taiwan for months or years to come, and perhaps speed the timetable of its plans to establish control over the island’s 23 million people, much as it did in Hong Kong.
He added that Xi “really wants to survive. He wants to be elected again for a third term. So he really doesn’t want to go to war against the U.S. at this moment.”
At the Pentagon, officials said China’s exercises are much more complex than previous shows of force, demonstrating Beijing’s ability to deploy an armada of aircraft, warships and missile batteries on short notice.
Colin H. Kahl, the undersecretary of defense for policy, told reporters this week that China was trying to “coerce” Taiwan and the international community. “And all I’ll say is we’re not going to take the bait, and it’s not going to work,” he said. He insisted the United States would conduct business as usual: “What we’ll do instead, is to continue to fly, to sail and operate wherever international law allows us to do so, and that includes in the Taiwan Strait.”
Asked about the rising tensions, President Joe Biden said Monday he was “concerned that they’re moving as much as they are,” an apparent reference to the Pentagon’s as sessment that China has dispatched 20 destroyers and friga tes to the waters surrounding Taiwan. When asked whether it was a “wise move” for Pelosi to visit the island despite China’s warnings, Biden said simply: “That was her decision.”

There are early indications that China alienated other powers with its show of force. The Group of 7 and the Asso ciation of Southeast Asian Nations issued statements either condemning the action or urging China to back down, so mething that was missing from the last Taiwan crisis, in 1996, when the United States was largely alone in speaking out — and sending two carrier groups to the area.
In a white paper the Chinese government published on Wednesday, Beijing said that it would prefer unification by peaceful means but also made clear it was keeping all op tions on the table. And even as the Chinese military’s Eastern Theater Command indicated that it had completed its drills, which had continued this week and included anti-submarine activity, it said it would organize regular combat patrols di rected at the island. On Tuesday, Joseph Wu, Taiwan’s foreign minister, said he suspected China was trying “to routinize its action in an attempt to wreck the long-term status quo across the Taiwan Strait,” and was using its missile tests “to deter other coun tries from interfering in its attempt to invade Taiwan.” Seve ral American officials said they were designing responses to show that they would not be deterred from the defense of the island.Theexercises came only weeks after a new U.S. intelli gence assessment concluded that Xi might try to move aga inst the island in the next year and a half. The intelligence suggests Xi fears his military advantage may diminish as the United States moves to arm Taiwan more quickly, including with weapons that proved effective against Russian forces during the invasion of Ukraine.
Adm. Scott H. Swift, a former U.S. Pacific Fleet com mander, predicted that the past week will be viewed as pi votal in the relationship. China’s position will become “much more hardened,” he said, and Beijing would turn to “a play book to draw much more timely, and perhaps preemptive responses” to efforts to support Taiwan. Several officials have begun openly comparing Xi’s ac tions toward Taiwan to President Vladimir Putin’s efforts to seize Ukraine — a link that, even a few weeks ago, they hesi tated to make. Speaking at the commemoration of the battle for the Solomon Islands 80 years ago, Wendy Sherman, the deputy secretary of state, denounced leaders who “believe that coercion, pressure and violence are tools to be used with impunity.” She did not name them but went on to say that they believed “the principles and institutions the world set up after the Second World War” can now be “ignored and undermined, diminished and destroyed.”
The White House portrayed a 2 1/2 hour conversa tion on July 28 between the two leaders as focused largely on that agenda. But on Friday, when the live-fire exercises around Taiwan were near their peak, Beijing suspended all discussions on climate change, trade and counternarcotics operations and arms control.
Without question, the threats against Taiwan have har dened anti-China attitudes on Capitol Hill, where condem nation of Beijing is one of the few areas of bipartisan agre ement. Several lawmakers have begun talking about China and Russia as common adversaries of the United States, even if there is little evidence that they are working together.
By SERENA SOLOMON H orehore Station, a sheep and cattle ranch, sprawls across 4,000 acres on New Zealand’s North Island, its ja gged expanse of uneven hills and steep gu llies blanketed in lush green grass. It is good, productive farmland, despite the rugged landscape. But it soon won’t be a farmTheanymore.land’s owner, John Hindrup, who bought it in 2013 for 1.8 million New Zea land dollars, sold it this year for 13 million, or $8.2 million. His windfall came courtesy of a newly lucrative industry in New Zealand: Forestry investors will cover the property in trees, making money not from their timber, but from the carbon the trees will suck from the atmosphere.“Ifyoutold me this two years ago, I wouldn’t have believed you,” Hindrup, 67, said of the land’s skyrocketing value. So-called carbon farming has become a key element of New Zealand’s drive to be car bon neutral by 2050. Under a market-based emissions trading program, companies in car bon-intensive industries must buy credits to offset their emissions. Many of those credits are purchased from forest owners, and as the credits’ price has soared, forestry investors have sought to cash in by buying up ranches. The emissions trading program is New Zealand’s most powerful tool to reduce gre enhouse gases. But the loss of ranch land to carbon farming could threaten one of its most iconic industries and change the face of idyllic rural areas. Farmers and agriculture experts have voiced concerns that sheep and cattle ranching, a major employer in many commu nities and one of the country’s top exporting sectors, is bound for a significant decline. “We’re talking about a land-use transfor mation beyond anything that we have seen probably in the last 100 years,” said Keith Woodford, an honorary professor of agricul ture and food systems at Lincoln University in New Zealand who is also an industry consul
tant. “It is a big change in land use, and we just need to be sure that is what we want.”
The country’s emissions trading pro gram is the only one in the world that allows companies to offset 100% of their emissions through forestry. (The United States has regio nal carbon trading initiatives but no national program.) New Zealand has turned so heavily to carbon farming in part because it is not doing enough to reduce emissions.
While tiny on a global scale, New Zealand’s emissions were still rising before the pandemic, and it is one of the largest car bon polluters among developed nations on a per-capita basis. The agriculture sector is New Zealand’s largest emitter of greenhouse gases, largely through methane released by animals.Today’s policy decisions, in response to the long road ahead in addressing climate change, are essentially locking in land use for decades, Woodford said. Permanent carbon forests must remain planted with trees, and timber forestry that earns carbon credits is required to replant trees after they are harves ted — typically at Year 28 — or face a finan cial penalty.Already, the amount of ranch land sold to forestry interests has ballooned, with many of the sales to foreign buyers from places like Australia, Malaysia and the United States. In 2017, the beef and sheep farms sold in their entirety for forestry totaled about 10,000 acres, according to a report commissioned by Beef + Lamb New Zealand, an industry group. Two years later, the figure was 90,000, and while sales dipped early in the pandemic, they are expected to have risen in 2021.
The land sales have grown as the pri ce of carbon credits has tripled in the last three years, reaching 80 New Zealand do llars. The increase reflects an imbalance bet ween supply and demand in credits as New Zealand’s emissions remain heavy, as well as the influence of speculators who expect car bon credit prices to continue to rise as the country faces the need to further tighten cli mate policies to achieve its pledges. At current prices, credits can generate carbon farming revenue of upward of 1,000 New Zealand dollars an acre annually, com pared with about 160 dollars for sheep and beef Davidranches.Hall, a climate change policy re searcher at Auckland University of Technolo gy, said that the price of credits was likely to pass 100 dollars in the next few years, but that a price of over 200 dollars would be required to prompt changes in the transpor tation sector that are necessary to meet the carbon-neutral goal. Just how many trees New Zealand needs to meet that pledge is unclear. It will depend partly on how quickly the country transforms into a low-emissions economy, with techno logical advances reducing the need for car bon Underfarming.current projections, the country’s Climate Change Commission put the figure at 2.7 million acres of carbon forests by 2050, but other modeling saw a need for more than 13 million acres, about 70% of the area oc cupied by sheep and beef farms in New Zea land.Shaving 2.7 million acres off the sheep and beef sector could translate to a loss of 2 billion New Zealand dollars a year in exports, Woodford said. Meat and wool are New Zealand’s second-largest export category, to taling about 12 billion dollars, or 15% of total exports.For rural communities, carbon farming risks creating “green deserts” of trees that generate few jobs. Permanent carbon fores try provides about one job a year per 2,500 acres after planting, according to a report from Te Uru Rakau, New Zealand’s forestry department. Timber forestry generates do zens of jobs during planting and harvesting but little for the almost three decades in bet ween. Beef and sheep farming provides re gular and seasonal employment of about 13 full-time jobs per 2,500 acres. Horehore Station, the ranch that was re cently sold, employed three people full time and many others part time, such as shearers, fencers and helicopter pilots, Hindrup said. Then there were the truck drivers, cafe ow ners and others who relied indirectly on ranch income.“Itis just going to demolish those commu nities, decimate those regional economies,” said Kerry Worsnop, a farmer and council member for Gisborne, one of a dozen or so areas concerned about the conversion of ran ches into forestry. One report from a business advisory firm found that if all the steeper, more challenging land in the Gisborne area became a perma nent carbon forest, almost half of its jobs — about 10,000 — would evaporate. Farmers are facing a range of pressures from New Zealand’s environmental goals. The government has considered rule changes that would take some of the heat out of rural land sales but backed off in the face of opposition from Maori landowners. As more farmers sell their land, operating costs will increase for those who remain, as they share expenses for things like veterinary care, said Toby Williams of Federated Farmers, an industry group. In addition, the agriculture sector will soon face a financial penalty for its emissions after having been exempted from the carbon trading program. And new environmental re gulations have prompted protests by farmers in which they have clogged city streets with tractors.“Itjust wasn’t worth my mental health, my physical health,” said Charlie Reynolds, who sold his ranch this year after facing a fen cing bill of 250,000 dollars to meet the new regulations.Ultimately, the degree to which New Zealand’s ranch land becomes carbon forests will be determined by the choices of farmers. Some are planting their own properties in trees. Others are pulling an income from both cattle and carbon by turning underutilized ranch areas, like erosion-prone gullies, into forests.
How New Zealand’s climate fight is threatening its iconic farmland
The San Juan Daily Star August 12-14, 2022 17
Trump’s movement was propped up by what political theorist William E. Connolly calls the “evangelicalcapitalist resonance machine.”
After the FBI searched Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, on Monday — an extraordinary event in the history of the United States — the former president and his allies immediately began to howl that Trump was being persecuted.
Connolly theorized that these seemingly disparate groups are bound together by a kind of spiritual existentialism and wrote that “their ruthlessness, ideological extremism, readiness to defend a market ideology in the face of significant evidence and compulsion to create or condone scandals against any party who opposes their vision of the world express a fundamental disposition toward being in the world.”Idon’t think Trump understands this on an intellectual level or is even aware of it. I don’t believe the man reads. But in his own selfish, craven desire to pilfer and prosper, he understands the workings of the machine — and how to exploit it — on a gut level.

In fact, reports like one from Reuters on Tuesday claim that the search of Trump’s home may actually have boosted him, placing him in his “political sweet spot,” allowing him to play victim of “institutional forces” — the deep state — “at a time when his grip on the party appeared to be slipping.”
For Trump, the politics of persecution is his security blanket and his weapon of choice. politics of persecution
Trump issued a statement that said his “beautiful home” was “currently under siege, raided and occupied” and “nothing like this has ever happened to a president of the United States before.” Left out of this victimhood framing was that this wasn’t so much an action but a reaction — a reaction to a president corrupt on a level this country has never seen before. Trump wrote in his statement, of course referring to himself in the third person, that “the political persecution of President Donald J. Trump has been going on for years” and “it just never ends.”
As Castelli told me Wednesday, the presidential elections of Barack Obama on one side and Trump on the other have amplified the complex, instilling in conservatives even greater feelings of loss and of being under siege.
The pivotal word there was “persecution.” Persecution is a powerful social concept. It moves people to empathize with and defend those perceived to have been wronged. It rouses righteous indignation. And it produces the moral superiority of long suffering. For instance, central to the story of the three Abrahamic religions — Christianity, Judaism and Islam — is the presence of persecution and the ultimate overcoming of it. The origin story of America itself is of a country born of religious persecution as a group of English separatists searched for a place where they could experience religious freedom. And many of the most celebrated historical figures around the world — Galileo, Joan of Arc, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela — were persecuted. Throughout history, political persecutions of whole populations have led to ghastly crimes against humanity. Some continue to this day, like China’s oppression of the Uyghurs and other predominantly Muslim ethnic minorities in the northwestern region of Xinjiang being subjected to internment camps and forced sterilization. In January 2021, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called it an ongoing genocide, saying that “we are witnessing the systematic attempt to destroy Uyghurs by the Chinese party-state.” But alongside these stories of actual persecution are scoundrels pretending to be persecuted, activating the same defensive human instincts in people that genuine accountsAmericando. politics continues to be dictated by persecution. There are the historical and modern iterations of the persecution of women, LGBTQ people and racial, ethnic and religious minorities. Where advances have been made, they have often been, generally speaking, pushed by liberals and resisted by conservatives. But with those liberal victories, conservatives came to see themselves as the new persecuted class, reversing the roles. Restricting their ability to discriminate was to them an undue burden. They robed their supposed persecution in religion, what Barnard College professor of religion Elizabeth A. Castelli calls the “Christian persecution complex.” “There is no precise origin point” for the complex, she wrote in 2007, “though political activism organized under the sign of ‘religious persecution’ and ‘religious freedom’ has certainly grown substantially in the last decade and most pressingly in the post-September 11th context.”
I would argue that the entire MAGA movement was born of Trump weaponizing the siege ideology held by many Americans — white replacement theory, immigrant invasion and loss of culture — and framing himself as their messiah and potential martyr.
“What is the connection today between evangelical Christianity, cowboy capitalism, the electronic news media and the Republican Party?” Connolly asked in a paper he wrote in 2005. Pointing out that these groups do not always share the same religious and economic doctrines, he argued that a broader sensibility is what connects them. “The complex becomes a powerful machine as evangelical and corporate sensibilities resonate together,” he wrote, “drawing each into a larger movement that dampens the importance of doctrinal differences between them.”
On Monday, Trump once again claimed that efforts to hold him accountable were evidence of political persecution, and his followers rallied to his defense.

Luckily, the network had another project in development, one that Mar tin had been pushing for some time: his rise-and-fall tale of the Targaryens, which he had written about extensively in his books. “House of the Dragon” is adapted from Martin’s “Fire & Blood,” the first in a planned two-volume chronicle of the fam ily’s exploits and clashes. “He was very passionate about this particular story,” said Miguel Sapochnik, a veteran of the original series and a showrun ner of “House of the Dragon.”
Condal caught up regularly with Mar tin over dinner and drinks and geeked out over the works of other fantasists like Rob ert E. Howard, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Ursula K. Le Guin. “When we would get together we would, you know, talk like two fanboys do,” Martin said. Martin asked Condal to start writing a Targaryen prequel. HBO executives liked what they saw in Condal, who signed on as a creator, with Martin, and as a showrunner. After Sapoch nik, who directed some of the original’s big gest episodes, also agreed to be a showrun ner, HBO ordered “House of the Dragon” straight to series. “What appealed to me about it was it’s a family drama,” Bloys said. “Anybody who has stepparents or siblings or half siblings, or had warring factions of a family — I think every single family in America has dealt with some version of this.” Martin said he wants from “Thrones” what Marvel has done — created a world that Disney continues to mine and that fans reliably show up to watch. Last year, he signed an overall deal with HBO, and he has been actively involved with the other spinoffs in “George,development.forus,in this process has been a really valuable resource,” Bloys said. “He is literally the creator of this world. He is its historian, its creator, its keeper. And so I can’t imagine doing a show that he didn’t believe in or didn’t endorse.”
But if the first one out of the gate fails to find an audience, it could raise questions about whether the Thrones Cinematic Uni verse is really the intellectual property gold mine that HBO executives hope it is. Here’s what “House of Dragon” has going for it: “Thrones,” which ran between 2011 and 2019, was the most-watched show in HBO’s history. That controversial finale drew nearly 20 million viewers the night it premiered — an astonishing figure in the fragmented streaming era. “Thrones” was also a delight to critics and won more Emmys than any series in TV history, includ ing winning best drama four times. The series changed television in so many ways — lavish budgets, technical wiz ardry, a cinematic scope that was once rare for the small screen — that it can be a little too easy to overlook the incredibly strong foundation it built for spinoffs.
By JOHN KOBLIN George R.R. Martin has seen the com ments, and he’s read the emails. Ever since “Game of Thrones,” the groundbreaking HBO fantasy series, went off the air in May 2019, he has been well aware of the backlash against the show’s final season. Martin, the man who painstak ingly created the “Thrones” universe over the past three decades through his many books, and who was mostly on the sidelines during the final seasons of the TV series, does wonder if there will be some viewers who skip “House of the Dragon,” the first “Thrones” spinoff. The series will make its much-anticipated debut on HBO and HBO Max on Aug. 21. “People say, ‘I’m done with “Game of Thrones,” they burned me, I’m not even go ing to watch this new show — I’m not going to watch any of the new shows,’ ” Martin said recently.Thequestion, he said, is how much of the “Thrones” audience do the complainers represent? “I mean, are we talking about a mil lion people?” he asked. “Or are we talking about 1,000? People who have nothing to do except tweet all day over and over again? I don’t know.” Martin and HBO are about to find out. Three years after the most popular show in HBO’s history bowed out, the hunt for a successor is finally over. It took a lot of effort to get here. Numerous “Thrones” prequels were put into development, and a pilot episode for another spinoff was filmed and then canceled. Tens of millions of dol lars have been poured into the winner of the bake-off, “House of the Dragon.” The stakes are high. Success for “House of the Dragon” would reassure HBO executives that viewers are craving more “Thrones” stories and could lead to many more shows set in Westeros and beyond. In addition to this series, HBO has at least five other “Thrones” projects in active develop ment.“The trick here is, you don’t want to just remake the original show,” said Casey Bloys, the HBO chief content officer. “You want to make a show that feels related and honors the original, but also feels like its own. “It is a very important franchise to us.”
The network cycled through two writ ers before Martin asked for help from an old friend: The writer Ryan Condal, a creator of the USA science fiction show, “Colony.”
“House of the Dragon” is set nearly 200 years before “Game of Thrones,” at a time when the title beasts were abundant.

As for viewership totals, Bloys said he did not expect “House of the Dragon” to match the heights of “Game of Thrones.” But he was still hopeful that it will be a hit and lay the groundwork for future spinoffs. “There’s no world in which we expect this to pick up where the original left off,” Bloys said. “I think the show will do really well. But it will have to do the work on its own to bring people in and to sustain the viewership.”

“I do believe that is a little bit more of an online narrative than it is in real life,” Bloys said, of the final season backlash. “I mean, we have the data of who’s watching ‘Game of Thrones,’ and it is consistently in the Top 10 assets that people watch on HBO Max around the world. As we’re coming closer to the premiere of this show, we’ve seen people going back, and we’ve seen an uptick in the viewership on HBO Max for the flagship“Houseseries.”ofthe Dragon” takes place al most 200 years before the events of “Game of Thrones.” The series follows the Targaryen family — that would be the silver-haired, dragon-flying crew, the one that Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) made famous in the original series — just as it is about to rupture, with dire consequences for the realm. And in the premiere episode, there are elements that will look familiar to “Thrones” viewers, including plenty of gore, multiple dragons and an Iron Throne. Also: nudity. And an orgy. It took more than five years to get to this point. In May 2017, with the penulti mate season of “Game of Thrones” about to debut, the network announced that it had four potential spinoffs in the works. A year later, a candidate was chosen: a prequel that would take place some 1,000 years before the events of the original series. It would not last. By 2019, after the pilot was shot, the network pulled the plug. “Once I saw that first pilot, I knew that was not the series to launch,” Bob Green blatt, the former chairman of WarnerMedia Entertainment, where he oversaw HBO, wrote in an email. Greenblatt said the pilot didn’t feel “expansive or epic enough.”
Unlike many smaller nations, which can impose a unified set of rules nation ally, Haas wrote, the United States is a large and complicated country with many different jurisdictions, each with different rules and requirements for recycling. Few enforce even these. In America, recycling has largely been left to government and consumers. Perhaps the system would work better, as some have argued, if glass manufacturers were responsible for recycling. Haas sug gests that the wine industry must try to in crease its use of recycled glass. A better and more wide-reaching so lution than recycling would be to return and reuse bottles, as people did for de cades until the post-World War II era of convenience ushered in the disposable bottle. Sadly, people seem so wed to the convenience of tossing things out that several promising recent trials of reusable wine bottles failed dismally. In one, Gotham Project, a company that specializes in selling keg wine to bars and restaurants, began a pilot program in early 2021 with a small group of retailers and restaurants in New York, Massachu setts and Colorado, selling wine in bottles that were intended to be returned and re used multiple times. To do so, Gotham had to grapple with numerous logistical difficulties. Where would retailers store empty bot tles? Would consumers need to wash them before returning? And what about labels? They had to be affixed with older forms of water-soluble glue that would dissolve in washing rather than with the seemingly eternal bond of modern adhesives. These challenges were dwarfed by a much big ger problem.“Wesaw none of the bottles coming back,” said Bruce Schneider, who, with a partner, Charles Bieler, founded Gotham in 2010. “It seemed so counterintuitive to us. With so much heightened awareness about sustainability and carbon footprint and consumers saying they wanted to do their share, we thought this was a natural. We kept at it for a year, but we saw hardly any returns.”
The San Juan Daily Star August 12-14, 2022 21
Another company, Good Goods, likewise abandoned a test program of returnable wine bottles after finding con sumers were simply not bringing them back. Both Good Goods and Gotham tried various incentives for consumers returning bottles, such as small deposits, store credit, even donations to charity, but nothing worked in the long run. “It’s a massive consumer behavioral shift that needs to take place, and we’re not there yet,” said Melissa Monti Saunders, chief executive of Communal Brands, an importer and distributor in New York, who worked with Good Goods on its program.
By ERIC ASIMOV G lass bottles have historically been the perfect containers for wine. They are inert and handily sealed, so wine can age and evolve for years free of influence. They are easy to transport and store. A 750-milliliter bottle is the perfect size for two people. Yet glass bottles have never been more of a problem than they are today, at a time of global trade disruptions and cli mate crisis. Many producers over the last couple of years have reported difficulties obtain ing bottles and complained about higher costs. Along with the usual pandemic sup ply-chain problems, bottles from China, a major source for the United States, have been subject to 25% tariffs since 2018.
On a recent episode of the Four Top, a wine podcast, Saunders discussed recycling with Diana Snowden Seysses, who makes wine at her family estates, Snowden Vineyards in Napa Valley and Domaine Dujac in Burgundy. Snowden Seysses, too, is an ardent proponent of reusable bottles. She said the infrastructure for reusing bottles still existed in Europe, pointing out that Serge Cheveau, a company that specializes in washing bot tles for reuse, was situated not far from Du jac and did big business with bottles from Belgium in particular, where the govern ment offers incentives for reusing bottles. Both Dujac and Snowden make wines intended for aging and require glass Jason Haas of Tablas Creek Vineyard, who has assailed the state of glass recycling in the U.S., which does far worse than Europe, at the vineyard in Paso Robles, Calif., Aug. 7, 2021.
Production in Ukraine, where bottles are made mostly for Europe, has effectively halted because of the war with Russia, di minishing the supply. These are cyclical problems. Wine producers can adapt in the short term, no matter how painful. The far more urgent long-term concern is the climate crisis and related environmental challenges.
Numerous audits of the carbon footprint of wine production have blamed glass bottles, from production to delivery, for the largest percentage of greenhouse-gas emissions from the industry. This perfect container, it turns out, is a huge problem for the planet. Making glass bottles demands an enormous amount of heat and energy, and bottled wine, with all the necessary packing materials to protect the fragile containers, are heavy loads that require lots of fuel to ship. The heavier the bottles, the more fuel burned and the more green house gases produced. The world could perhaps accept this, except for one major additional problem: Once those bottles are drained of wine, they are typically thrown away. The whole energy-demanding, greenhouse gas-emit ting process must be repeated, again and again.Theoretically, recycling glass bottles should help mitigate the problem. But, as Jason Haas, the general manager of Tablas Creek Vineyard in Paso Robles, California, explained in a recent blog post, the state of glass recycling in the United States is discouraging. The Environmental Protection Agen cy estimates only 31% of glass in the Unit ed States is recycled, compared with 74% in Europe and more than 95% in Sweden, Belgium and Slovenia. It’s actually worse than 31%, Haas said, as much of that glass is crushed and used to build roads rather than to melt down for new glass.
Saunders, who has also passed rig orous tests to earn a Master of Wine cre dential, believes the biggest problem is lo gistics. If systems for returning and storing bottles can be made easier for consumers and businesses, participation will grow, she said.Tothat end, she said, Good Goods was reorganizing itself as a logistics com pany focusing on promoting a circular economy in which materials like bottles are reused or repurposed rather than dis posed of or eliminated, reducing waste and saving energy. “The logistics piece of the circular economy game is at the heart of the mat ter,” she said. “It’s a huge obstacle.”

The problem with wine bottles
Cans are not much better than bottles, Saunders said. They are easier to recycle, but still require a lot of energy to create.
Looking at the scale of the climate crisis, and the small steps that seem so dif ficult now to take, it’s easy to feel discour aged. It’s hard to remember sometimes that every small effort helps. Reusable bottles will someday be an important tool to cut ting the carbon footprint. “It’s the perfect container,” Haas said. “If only we could figure out a way to reuse them.” programas (787) 920-6606 (787) 746-1400
“They’re a lot of packaging for a little bit of wine,” she said. While both women said reusable bottles will ultimately be an essential step, they believe alternative containers such as bag-in-box, even though made partly of disposable plastic, would be better en vironmentally as they consume much less energy to manufacture and ship. In addition, the standard 3-liter bagin-box, once opened, can keep wines fresh for four to six weeks, much longer than opened“It’sbottles.amyth that bag-in-box has to be cheap,” Saunders said on the podcast, add ing that “in order to demystify this packag ing, you need to be putting wine in it that has credibility.”Inotherwords, the better the wine sold in the bag-in-box format, the more willing consumers will be to embrace it. Saunders, through Communal Brands, is selling good, unpretentious wines such as Hérisson, a Bourgogne Passetoutgrain, and Schplïnk, an Austrian grüner veltliner, in bag-in-box. Domaine de Triennes, which makes moderately priced wines in southern France and where Seysses is a consultant, now sells its wines in 3-liter bag-in-box containers. Other good wines are available in this format. Haas of Tablas Creek experimented with bag-in-box, packaging the equiva lent of 112 cases of 2021 Patelin de Tablas rosé, a modest wine that would typically be served by the glass in restaurants. It sold out almost immediately, Haas said. The re sponse was so enthusiastic that he repeated the experiment with Patelin de Tablas white and will do it again soon with the red.
The San Juan Daily StarAugust 12-14, 202222WINE containers, Snowden Seysses said, which will not affect the flavor or composition of the wine. But most wines of the world are con sumed within a year of purchase and have no need of glass. Still, producers unneces sarily put modest wines in bottles because consumers perceive glass as emblematic of higher quality and associate other sorts of containers, like bag-in-box, with poor wine.

“I was so happy to see that,” Saunders said of the Tablas Creek box. “Pedigreed, respectable producers are a really big thing, it legitimizes it.” Other boxed wines that I highly rec ommend are From the Tank, from Jenny & François Selections, a natural wine import er, and Wineberry Boxes, from Wineberry U.S.A., another importer. For her part, Snowden Seysses is try ing another pilot program in reusable bot tles, with a Santa Cruz Mountains merlot made from purchased fruit and sold under a second label, Snowden Cousins. It will be distributed by Communal Brands to res taurants rather than to consumers through retail. “It’s a reasonable next step,” she said. “Where I am is getting restaurants to par ticipate, incentivizing consumers to partici pate.

“We’ll see how it goes in California first,” she continued. “I’m still working on Burgundy, but in Burgundy the problem is counterfeits,” she said, alluding to fraudu lent bottles with labels from prestigious producers such as Dujac that are filled with inferior wine and sold at a premium.

The San Juan Daily StarAugust 12-14, 202234
The Mets have shown excellence on the mound and at the plate. They are in the top four in the majors in runs per game and runs allowed per game. (Unsurprisingly, the Yankees and Dodgers are, too.) The Mets have been bolstered by the return of starting pitcher Jacob deGrom from injury. He got a no-decision in a loss in his first game back, although he gave up only one run in five innings, then he struck out 12 in a 5-2 win Sunday over Atlanta, earning his first victory in more than a year.
The Mets make their case as New York’s best team Starling Marte and the Mets have stepped up their game in recent weeks, creating a large division lead over Atlanta.
By VICTOR MATHER With talk earlier this year about this possibly being the best New York baseball season ever, it had see med clear that there was at least a small di vide between the city’s major league teams. The Yankees were still the big dogs, and while the Mets were having a great season, they seemed less threatening. After the games of July 23, just a bit more than two weeks ago, the Yankees were 65-31 and battling the Los Angeles Dodgers for baseball’s best record. The Mets were a creditable 58-37, putting them 6-1/2 games behind their crosstown rivals and just a halfgame ahead of their rival Atlanta Braves in the National League East. Things changed in a hurry. Since then, the Mets are 15-2 and the Yankees are 6-10. That had put the Mets on top, at least for now. With Wednesday’s 10-2 win over Cin cinnati at Citi Field, the Mets improved to 73-39, two games better than the Yankees, who lost, 4-3, to Seattle on Wednesday and fell to 71-41. The Mets have also taken over the No. 2 record in the majors, behind the Dodgers, who are still flying high with a 7733 record following Wednesday night’s 8-5 win over the Minnesota Twins. Perhaps most important, the Mets have opened a wide lead over Atlanta. The current hot streak began with a win over the San Diego Padres on July 24, but it took shape over the next two games, when the Mets hosted the Yankees at Citi Field for the first Subway Series of the season and came away with a two-game sweep. “It was honestly like a World Series home run,” Eduardo Escobar told reporters after his two-run homer in the first inning helped lead the Mets to a 6-3 win in the first game. “I’ve never played in an environ ment like that.” A Starling Marte walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth inning of the second game completed the sweep a day later. The wins seemed to launch the Mets, and the momentum has kept going from there: a sweep of Miami, two of three from Washington and then a crucial four of five from Atlanta that widened their division lead. Wednesday’s win gave them a threegame sweep of the Reds. After an off-day Thursday, the Mets will host the Philadel phia Phillies for a three-game series at Citi Field.
Max Scherzer, the team’s other ace, is 3-0 during the hot run, surrendering just two earned runs in three starts. And closer Ed win Díaz, who has been shredding the lea gue with a 52.9% strikeout rate, saved six of the 15Onwins.offense, the Mets have done it with depth. Only one regular starter, first baseman Pete Alonso, has an on-base plus slugging percentage above .900, but nearly everyone is chipping in. And five of Alonso’s team-high 29 homers have come during the current run. Despite the hot streak, there are a few concerning signs. The Mets weren’t exactly blowing teams out. Thirteen of the 15 wins in their run were by four runs or fewer. Although the Yankees have won only six games in that span, three of them were by six runs and two by five. This follows a season-long pattern. The Yankees’ run differential of plus-204 trails only the Dodgers, who are at plus-233. The Mets are plus-127. That is a good total, and a win is a win, but the huge scoring marg ins of the Dodgers and the Yankees could well be an indication that they can reach a higher gear. In any case, the Mets lead the NL East by seven games over Atlanta, and the Yankees have a 10-game lead over Toronto, which had its Wednesday game in Baltimo re postponed due to rain. FanGraphs gives both New York teams a 100% chance of making the playoffs. So besides bragging rights, not much is on the line for which team winds up with the best record.And yet … best regular-season record does determine home-field advantage in the World Series. There’s a long way to go, and a lot would have to break right, but if there should be the first Subway Series sin ce 2000, every regular-season game might actually matter.
By CHRISTOPHER CLAREY A s a champion who says she hates goodbyes, Serena Williams could have made her exit from tennis in otherInways.anews release or Instagram post; by post-match interview or by simply walking away and staying away without formalizing her farewell.Instead, by making it plain this week that the end is very near, Williams has giv en herself and her vast public some runway to do the job just right, an extended — but not too extended — opportunity to do jus tice to Williams’ long and phenomenal ca reer.“Savor every match,” said Tracy Austin, the former No. 1 turned television analyst. The first chance came in Toronto on a warm Wednesday night in a packed stadium against a tough and experienced opponent, Belinda Bencic, whose flow ing, counterpunching game unsurprisingly proved too much for the 40-year-old Wil liams.Bencic closed out the victory, 6-2, 6-4, in the second round of the National Bank Open, but it was, as Bencic rightly pointed out, not really about the result Wednesday. It was about the occasion. Although on-court interviews are usu ally the realm of the winner, Bencic quickly and elegantly stepped aside after her victo ry and ceded the stage and the microphone to Williams.“Itwas a lot of emotions,” Williams said as the tears started to come. “Obvi ously I love playing here, and I’ve always loved playing here. I wish I could have played better, but Belinda played so well today. But just, yeah, it’s been a pretty in teresting 24 hours.” It has been above all, a fascinating 27 years since Williams first played in Canada. She launched her pro career in 1995 at the Bell Challenge, a now-defunct tournament in Quebec City, making that debut at age 14 in part to avoid becoming subject to age restrictions that the women’s tour was soon to impose. She lost in the first round of qualify ing to American Annie Miller, then ranked 149th in the world, but that was hardly foreshadowing. Williams has gone on to become the greatest women’s player of the 21st century and join the very short list of the most successful players of all time alongside Martina Navratilova, Steffi Graf and Margaret Court.
Williams has won 23 Grand Slam sin gles titles, one short of Court’s record, and has won 50 other tour singles titles, includ ing three at the Canadian Open in 2001, 2011 and There2013.would be no fourth title in Cana da, but that was no impediment to her gen erating plenty of excitement and emotion as she played her last professional match there.Williams announced her impending retirement — she intends to play through the U.S. Open — in a poignant first-person essay in Vogue that was published Tuesday. That was the day after she won her first singles match in more than a year in the opening round in Toronto, defeating Nuria Parrizas-Diaz of Spain. The buzz built quickly ahead of Wil liams’ second-round duel with Bencic. Karl Hale, the tournament director at the National Bank Open since 2006, said that after the retirement news broke, the tournament sold more tickets for the Wil liams-Bencic showdown than it had for any of its men’s matches, notable for a tourna ment that began in 1881, making it almost as old as Canada itself. (Canada was found ed in 1867, and the women’s tournament started in 1892.) “In the players’ lounge, you heard the chatter. It’s the first time I’ve seen so many players watch a practice,” Hale said of Wil liams’ practice Tuesday. “She practiced at 9 a.m., and everybody was out there watch ing her.”OnTuesday night, the stadium north of downtown packed in 12,500 fans, and the tournament would set up an outdoor view ing area — for the first time — for another 5,000. Williams’ husband, Alexis Ohanian, and their daughter, Olympia, 4, watched from the Aheadstands.ofWilliams’ taking the court — which she did with a bowed head and a se rious expression — a video with greetings from retired champion Billie Jean King and some rising stars on the tour, Coco Gauff, Leylah Fernandez and Bianca Andreescu, played for the crowd. Wayne Gretzky, the Canadian who was one of the greatest play ers in hockey history, had a closing message for his“Serenacounterpart.Williams, Willie O’Ree in hockey, Jackie Robinson in baseball,” Gretz ky said. “They changed everything. They changed the culture of sports, and what Serena did for boys and girls throughout the world is spectacular. Serena, congratulations on a wonderful career.”
The crowd wanted Williams to win, and throughout the match it often felt as if ev eryone was trying to will her to victory. The hoopla — and often-disruptive shouts from the stands — could easily have rattled a lesser, more inexperienced player, but Ben cic, a 25-year-old Swiss star, handled the moment with aplomb. She is at her best on hardcourts with her finely tuned game and exquisite timing, on display again as she redi rected Williams’ still-formidable power with half volleys from the baseline and forecourt. Bencic won the Olympic gold medal in singles last year in Tokyo, and back in 2015 she upset Williams in Toronto in the semifinals on her way to winning the women’s singles title at age Williams18. had won their three previous matches. Al though both women have had to contend with injuries in re cent years, much has changed since Williams defeated Ben cic in three sets in the Hop man Cup team event in 2019. While Bencic has rees tablished herself as a consis tent threat and is ranked No. 12, Williams, ranked 407th, has played comparatively little and missed a year of action before returning for Wimbledon in July, where she lost in the first round to Harmony Tan, an unseeded Frenchwoman. Wednesday’s match was only Wil liams’ third singles match in the past 14 months. She is, understandably, still find ing her range and is no longer able to move to the corners or find the lines on the run as she did in her prime. But when in position, she still has the power and ballstriking skills to do considerable damage, and she occasionally clicked into higher gears against Bencic without summoning the consistency to genuinely threaten her opponent. The floor, if not the match, was soon hers,“It’showever.justbeen so memorable,” Williams said, her voice cracking, as she addressed the sellout crowd. “Like I said in my article, I’m terrible at goodbyes, but goodbye — .” She waited a beat and then added, “Toronto.”Other emotional adieus await: at the Western & Southern Open next week in the Cincinnati suburbs and then, body and spirit willing, at the U.S. Open in New York that begins Aug. 29. “These are all building blocks for New York,” said her new coach, Eric Hechtman. “And put it this way, she’s not just showing up as a farewell tour. Today, we could see stretches of level of play that are champion ship level, and I truly believe that she has got that gear in her, and I know she be lieves it, too.”

Williams begins the not-too-long goodbye
One of the world’s biggest soccer teams needed to close a $700 million shortfall. Its president, Joan Laporta, may have done it. But the club’s pro blems are not over.

its way into crisis. Can it now spend its way out?
Barcelona36spent
The club that Laporta inherited in 2003 was mired in a financial crisis, too, with losses of almost double its revenue and mounting debts. But the figures were 10 times smaller back then, and the club had not yet begun the process of transforming itself into the commercial juggernaut it has become. Those teams also were not required to meet exacting constraints on player spending that have since been enforced by the Span ish league, and it is those rules that pose the most immediate obstacle to Laporta’s revival plan. Because La Liga has insisted it will not ease the rules by a single euro for Barcelona, the club has not yet been able to register any of this summer’s new signings. Wary that the team might not make the deadline, the league has not yet used any of those play ers, even Lewandowski, the reigning world player of the year, in any of its branding for the new season. The most recent asset sales should clear the way for Barcelona to meet La Liga’s fi nancial rules and register its battalion of new signings, Laporta insisted. “That’s been a decision that in honesty I didn’t want to do,” he said of the sales, even as they will — at least temporarily — push Barcelona’s balance sheet into profit. That type of maneuver — a mix of bold ness and brinkmanship — is typical of La porta, who benefits from a cult of personal ity unmatched by previous presidents during the club’s modern history. It is why he can put himself on Las Ve gas billboards, and why he can continue to advocate publicly for the short-lived and widely reviled European Super League. (Bar celona, Real Madrid and Juventus — three of the 12 teams that signed up for the break away concept — are forging ahead with the project, which Laporta said is now being envisioned as an open competition that will benefit the biggest teams. He met recently with Andrea Agnelli and Florentino Pérez, his counterparts at Juventus and Real Ma drid, in Las Vegas to discuss the next steps.)
“There is a success story behind La porta,” Duch said. “He has a huge fan base: He’s like the pope, like Kim Jong Un: the su preme leader.”
By TARIQ PANJA J oan Laporta’s smile was hard to miss. Star ing down from a vast digital billboard last month, the grinning image of the presi dent of the Spanish soccer giant FC Barcelo na covered almost an entire side of the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas. The billboard scrolled through other im ages — there was one of a handful of Barce lona’s players, and another of its coach, Xavi Hernández — but soon enough it was back to Laporta. And it was that sight, a beam ing president front and center in the gam bling capital of the world, that was perhaps the best symbolism of the financial mess in which Barcelona currently finds itself, and of the boundless confidence of the man who says he has a plan to fix it. Barcelona, in true Vegas style, is dou blingAdown.team that less than a year ago was unable to meet its huge payroll; a business that, with losses of 487 million euros ($496 million) last year, was described by its own CEO as “technically bankrupt”; a club that is currently saddled with debt of more than $1.3 billion, has decided the best way out of a crisis caused by financial mistakes, rich salaries and extravagant contracts is to spend its way out. It has sold off one club asset after an other to raise roughly $700 million to help balance its books. Yet it is plowing ahead with a $1.5 billion project, with financing ar ranged by Goldman Sachs, to renovate and modernize its iconic stadium, Camp Nou, which because of the rush to raise funds will for the first time carry the name of a spon sor. And it has paid out more money on new signings this summer than almost any other major team in Europe, with a new flashy acquisition announced to great fanfare on a seemingly weekly basis. The freewheeling spending has raised eyebrows among Barcelona’s rivals and con cerns among some of its 150,000 members about the club’s financial viability if Laporta’s big bet doesn’t pay off. But the president, in an interview at the Manhattan headquarters of The New York Times, offered repeated re assurances that he knows exactly what he is doing.“I’m not a gambler,” Laporta declared. “I take calculated risks.” Risk, however, has become a fixture at Barcelona.Laporta was elected club president for a second time last year after his predecessor and the previous board were ousted for what amounted to the simultaneous financial and sporting collapse of one of the world’s great sports teams. While many expected Barcelo na to rebuild slowly, to live within its means in a period of humbling austerity, Laporta has decided instead to steer Barcelona on a completely different course. He says he has no choice but to try to win every year. “It is a requirement,” he said. More than $700 million has been raised by selling pieces of the club’s business. Twenty-five percent of the club’s domestic television rights — for a quarter century — went to a U.S. investment fund. Spotify, the music streaming service, signed a four-year deal to put its name on the Camp Nou and the even more valuable real estate on the front of the team’s jerseys. On Monday, Bar celona announced the sale of a quarter of its production business, Barca Studios, to a blockchain company, Socios. It is in talks to sell part of its licensing business next. Instead of paying off club debt, how ever, the money has largely gone toward ac cumulating new talent: $50 million for Polish striker Robert Lewandowski, $55 million for French defender Jules Koundé, almost $65 million for Brazilian wing Raphinha. Several other players joined as free agents. More re inforcements may be on the way. To Laporta, signing Lewandowski, who will soon be 34, and the others makes per fect sense. It is part of what he contends will be a “virtuous cycle” in which success on the field will shore up the team’s finances through an increase in revenue. The strategy is a repeat of the recipe he used during his first tenure as president, a seven-year period that started in 2003 and ended with a Bar celona team celebrated as one of the best in soccer history. “In my time we put the expectations very high and we were successful,” he said of his previous tenure. “And then the Barça fans around the world, around 400 million fans worldwide, they require a level of suc cess.”But times, and revenues, have changed.
Laporta’s popularity is also why he can get away with financial risks that most likely would have been unacceptable had they been proposed by previous presidents, and particularly his unpopular predecessor, Josep Maria“WhatBartomeu.would happen if Bartomeu did the same as the current president is doing?” said Marc Duch, a club member who helped oust the previous board. “We would all be on fire, pointing at him and trying to fire him.”Laporta is granted a wider berth, and even backed by fanatical defenders on social media, Duch said, because of his links to the earlier golden era.

Take a step back and consider how you can make life easier.
The writing is on the wall, so whatever needs to be known will be talked about widely, as the Full Moon takes place in your sector of communication. Matters that may have been swept under the carpet could come out into the open, making this a time for animated discussion. However, there is a chance of you or others overreacting to certain news, and being rather too hasty, Archer.
