As reported yesterday in the press, the congres sional group made reference to $11.4 million al located to Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria and another $4 million related to assistance to manage the consequences of the coronavirus.

The members of Congress made the indication by letter to the assistant inspector for Audits and Evaluation of the Office of Management and Budget Frederick Meny. It is also mentioned that it is not clear how the DNER decided the eligibility for the allocation of $11.4 million granted by Congress after Hurricanes Irma and María. Likewise, it must be re ported how many Puerto Rican fishermen requested the aid and how many finally received it.

Just last week, Rivera Segarra presided over a public hearing related to the ReGrow Program, which consists of an allocation of $92.5 million in federal funds, destined to help small Puerto Rican farmers whose agribusinesses generate less than $350,000 annually.“Thefarmers’ claim is that the heavy and immense bureaucracy has tremendously limited the allocation of funds. In the case of the fishermen, the country must know what happened to those assignments that exceed $15 million,” Rivera Segarra said. Rep. Jorge Alfredo Rivera Segarra

Federal members of Congress investigate agricultural allocations

Rivera Segarra, president of the House Committee on Agriculture, en dorsed Wednesday the proposal presented the day before by nine U.S. Democratic members of Congress led by Nydia Velázquez, who asked the United States Office of the Inspector General (OIG) to investigate the way in which the past and current government administration distributed more than $15 million in federal funds allocated to fishermen in Puerto Rico. The funds were specifically to miti gate the damage caused by Hurricane Maria and the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Our Agriculture Committee has been very active in defending this industry, and as part of the process, we promote responsible oversight. Particularly im portant have been our investigations into ReGrow funds, as well as the production of fresh coffee and milk. In this particular case of fishermen, the De partment of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER) must provide detailed information on the process for allocating federal funds. On behalf of our Committee, we are available to cooperate in the process,” said the legislator of District 22 of Adjuntas, Lares, Utuado and Jayuya.

At one point, the SAL had 120 law yers, but now they’re down to 76. In some regions, the lack of personnel is critical: Caguas has only two lawyers, and Fajardo has one, “handling all the matters simultaneously,” denounced Parrilla.“The Department of Justice, which handles criminal cases, increased its staff of attorneys for domestic violence cases by almost 100 prosecutors, and this week they increased 13 prosecutors for drug court cases. At the very least, it should be proportional to the increase,” he said.

Rubén Parrilla Rodríguez, president of the Union of Lawyers for the Society for Legal Assistance, said, “we have been in collective bargaining agreement dis cussions for a year, demanding a salary increase and better fringe benefits. Man agement initially offered a $100 monthly increase; the basic salary is $36,000 and can go up to $76,000, but to reach that, you have to have been working 25 years.

We want to move management to sit down and talk with us. The longer this collective bargaining takes, the longer you have to be with the basic salary,” said Parrilla.

Hernández Montañez reiterated that “the House will continue to monitor LUMA and demand transparency from it to ensure that everyone in Puerto Rico receives quality electricity service and our system is modernized.”

“The agencies complied with delivering the documents within the stipulated term, according to the unanimous mandate of the House through Resolutions 797, 798 and 799, so we will diligently evaluate the information provided and compare it with the data compiled by the Committee to determine if there is just cause to cancel this agreement,” reported Hernández Montañez in written statements.Forhis part, Torres Cruz pointed out that “the lack of oversight was what caused the unsustainable energy crisis that we are experiencing today; however, we see how the regulatory agencies look the other way and pass the hot potato to avoid supervising LUMA.”

According to the indictment, Herrera Velutini attended a wedding of an individual identified as Individual C and was seated in the same table as Vazquez. When Blakeman sent a text message to Herrera seeking support, Herrera replied “She has it! In this table she already has 2MM,” then later wrote “But she has to resolve OCIF.”

The indictment further alleges that follow ing Vázquez Garced’s primary election loss in August 2020, Herrera Velutini sought to bribe her successor, identified as Public Official A, presumably current Gov. Pedro Pierluisi, by offering funding in support of Public Official A’s campaign in exchange for Public Official A ending OCIF’s audit of Herrera Velutini’s bank on terms favorable to Herrera Velutini.

According to the indictment, between April 2021 and August 2021, Herrera Velutini allegedly used intermediaries to convey his offer of a bribe to a witness, Joseph Fuentes Fernandez, who held himself out as a repre sentative of Public Official A, but who was in fact acting at the direction of the FBI.

Venezuelan banker, Julio Herrera Velutini, pleaded not guilty to federal corruption charges as he made his initial appearance in the U.S. District Court Wednesday. Early on Wednesday, the US Attorney’s Office informed Herrera Velutini had surren dered himself. Federal Magistrate Giselle López Soler set bail for Herrera Velutini at $1 million arguing that he was a flight risk and ordered the accused to remain in his house near the court of the Southern District of New York. His lawyer Sonia Torres Pabón had asked the court that he be allowed to remain in both the Southern District of Florida and in New York because he has employment interests in both jurisdictions, but the magistrate denied the request.Herrera Velutini had hired Miami lawyer Lillian Ann Sanchez to represent him. His local counsel that will represent Herrera Velutini is Sonia Torres Pabón, of DLA Piper. Another document in the docket shows that he also hired lawyer Michel Zweiback. Vazquez and Herrera Velutini together with former FBI agent Mark Rossini are charged on seven counts related to a bribery scheme to benefit her own campaign.

The indictment alleges that Vázquez Garced accepted the offer of a bribe and, in February 2020, took official action to demand the resignation of OCIF Commissioner A and, in May 2020, to appoint OCIF Commissioner B – a former consultant for the international bank owned by Herrerac Velutini – who had been personally selected by Herrera Velutini. In return, Herrera Velutini and Rossini allegedly paid more than $300,000 to political consul tants in support of Vázquez Garced’s campaign.

According to the indictment, from Decem ber 2019 through June 2020, Vázquez Garced, 62, allegedly engaged in a bribery scheme with Herrera Velutini, Frances Díaz, Rossini, and John Blakeman to finance Vázquez Garced’s 2020 gubernatorial election campaign. Herrera Velutini, 50, a dual Venezue lan-Italian citizen residing in London, owned an international bank operating in San Juan. Díaz, 50, of Puerto Rico was the CEO and President of the international bank owned by Herrera Velutini. The bank, which was not identified in the indictment is Bancrédito International Bank & Trust. Rossini, 60, of Madrid, Spain, provided consulting services to Herrera Velutini. Blakeman, 53, is a political consultant who worked on Vázquez Garced’s 2020Accordingcampaign.to the indictment, beginning in 2019, Herrera Velutini’s bank was the subject of an examination by Puerto Rico’s Office of the Commissioner of Financial Institutions (OCIF), a regulatory agency that oversees financial institutions operating in Puerto Rico. Through intermediaries, Herrera Velutini and Rossini allegedly promised to provide funding to support Vázquez Garced’s 2020 gubernatorial election campaign in exchange for Vázquez Garced terminating the Commissioner of OCIF, George Richard Joyner, and appointing a new Commissioner of Herrera Velutini’s choosing, who was Víctor Rodríguez Bonilla, who worked at Bancredito.

about violations of the law and calls on the protesters to clear Muñoz Marin Avenue, the police proceeded on Wednesday to forcibly remove them, arresting a handful of demonstrators.

For her part, Hau said that “with the creation of this permanent structure, we would also have the guarantee of transparency in the use of the funds, and we assure the people that the resources will be used correctly for the beneﬁt of Puerto Rican families, businesses and industries.”RuizNieves said, “we are conﬁdent that the Governor, taking as a principle the best welfare of the Puerto Rican people, will sign Senate Bill 728 as soon as it reaches his desk.

The creation of the Fund allows the money deposited therein to be used to purchase fuel and energy in advance when market prices are lower. The proposal initially establishes that the Fund would be fed by the approximately $320 million debt owed to the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority (PREPA) by some government agencies, public corporations, and municipalities of Puerto Rico. This is a budgeted, liquid, and enforceable debt, which only needs to be duly collected.Bill728was authored by Senators Joanne Rodríguez Vevé, of the Dignity Project (DP), Gretchen Marie Hau, chair of the Legal Committee, and Ramoncito Ruiz Nieves, chair of the Government Committee, both of the Popular Democratic Party (PDP). Rodríguez Veve pointed out that “with the creation of this Stabilization Fund, the government will have a permanent structure to which to continue raising funds, both federal and local, to avoid further increases in the electricity bill.”

House requested to investigate complaints for non-compliance in solar panel services

In the resolution, Matos García indicates that solar energy is considered renewable with the most significant potential. Over the years, more people are deciding to use solar panels to power their homes or businesses through the sun.However, the Department of Consumer Affairs (DACO, for its Spanish acronym) has reported increased complaints about solar panel services. In August 2022, over 50 complaints related to solar services were filed with DACO, which was almost double the average of 27 complaints. From August 2021 to August 2022, 377 complaints have been filed in which consumers claim remedies for some non-compliance with solar panel service providers.“We have noticed an increase in the request for services for installing solar panels as a renewable energy alternative in Puerto Rican homes and businesses. Given the need that citizens have for this energy alternative for their homes, there has been a proliferation of companies that offer different alternatives to energize residences and businesses. Still, many fail to comply with their contracts, which has increased the number of complaints against these defaults. For this reason, it is indispensable and urgent that the Chamber investigate,” said Matos García. It was also reported that the complaints filed with DACO for possible non-compliance of services are divided into regions, with San Juan occupying the first place with 35% of these, followed by the Arecibo region with 22% and Ponce with 17%. Typically, these complaints are related to some non-compliance with equipment that does not meet the needs for which it was purchased and batteries that are damaged in a short period.

“We oppose this wholly unnecessary requirement. Existing regulations, including federal or local banking regulations, provide various mechanisms or ways to detect, channel or report illegal transactions. We do not support having notary public lawyers and grantors to take over a responsibility from various regulatory entities when the government already has regulations and agencies that can do that,” she said.The Association will be participating in multiple meetings and negotiations with legislators from various delegations, to explain its opposition to the bill that severely disrupts the purchase and sale of properties on the Island.

The proposed measure calls for buyers of houses, businesses, or land to spend money on a property appraisal, a title study and a measurement plan or ‘plot plan’.

The proposed changes, particularly that of requiring an appraisal and measurement plan that is not the same as a ‘plot plan’, are also burdensome for individuals and families who, for health reasons, emergencies, job changes, among others, choose not to be tied to property market prices.

Realtors say notary public law changes will harm real estate transactions

The House of Representatives approved Senate Bill 728, which orders the Treasury Department to create the Electric System Stabilization Fund to cover sudden increases in the cost of fuel and energy in the market. This way, the government could absorb such increases in the market so that they do not end up on consumers’ electricity bills.

“This new requirement forces them to appraise the property. The requirement of an appraisal or evaluation of value should not be enforceable or applicable to the totality or generality of the transactions, as a uniform mechanism that makes the granting of public instruments in the real estate sector more expensive and more difﬁcult and onerous,” she said.

By THE STAR STAFF

By THE STAR STAFF The Popular Democratic Party (PDP) spokesman in the House of Representatives, Ángel Matos García, ﬁled Resolution 813 to investigate the non-compliance with solar panel service providers and the increase of complaints about this service.

The measure is aimed at helping the Municipal Revenue Collection Center (CRIM) update its property appraisal roster. The CRIM is the entity in charge of collecting property taxes.

The president of the Association, which brings together 900 realtors throughout the Island, also raised the ﬂag about a requirement for the buyer to disclose the origin of the funds with at least six bank statements.

The Association said the CRIM and other inspection agencies have various mechanisms and regulations that, with more resources and more effective inspection, can maximize the income of the municipalities, without imposing these requirements that are so harmful to the consumer’s pocket and without disrupting the ﬂuidity of real estate transactions.

“We believe the requirement has the effect of adding costs, procedures and burdens to grantors and notaries. Puerto Rico is experiencing a time of economic and ﬁscal challenges, where we must stimulate and promote real estate transactions and other goods or services to ﬂow, without the over-regulation of the State,” she said.

“It is unreasonable to impose these new requirements to notary public lawyers and to any person or entity that wants to sell or buy a property in Puerto Rico,” explained Ruby González, president of the Association of Realtors.

New amendments contained in House Bill 1416 to the Puerto Rico Notary Public Law related to the sale and purchase of properties will be harmful to consumers and will slow down real estate transactions, the Puerto Rico Realtors Association said Wednesday.

A closing that could take one or two weeks, now with all this that they are adding, could take months”, González said.

The Justice Department obtained at least one more sub poena, for security camera footage from inside Mar-a-Lago, and the search warrant affidavit revealed that it had been working with multiple civilian witnesses. The result was the search warrant carried out on Aug. 8.

Justice Department sought a search warrant for former President Donald Trump’s residence in Florida after obtai ning evidence that highly classified documents were likely concealed and that Trump’s representatives had falsely claimed all sensitive material had been returned, according to a court filing by the department Tuesday. The filing came in response to Trump’s request for an inde pendent review of materials seized from his home, Mar-a-Lago. But it went far beyond that, painting the clearest picture yet of the department’s efforts to retrieve the documents before taking the extraordinary step of searching a former president’s private property on Aug. 8.

An image the Department of Justice included in an August 30, 2022 court filing shows documents marked SECRET// SCI that were recovered from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club and home in Florida.

The investigation into Trump’s retention of government do cuments began as a relatively straightforward attempt to recover materials that officials with the National Archives had spent much of 2021 trying to retrieve. The filing on Tuesday made clear that prosecutors are now unmistakably focused on the possibility that Trump and those around him took criminal steps to obstruct their investigation.

But law enforcement officials soon developed evidence that statement was untrue.

But one of Trump’s lawyers present during that visit “expli citly prohibited government personnel from opening or looking inside any of the boxes that remained in the storage room, giving no opportunity for the government to confirm that no documents with classification markings remained,” the filing said.

Since the search of Mar-a-Lago, Trump has claimed he had declassified all of the documents there, and his request for the appointment of an independent arbiter known as a special master to review the trove of materials seized by the FBI centered on a claim that some of the documents were protected by executive privilege. But prosecutors rejected that argument and said Trump’s lawyers “never asserted that the former president had declassified the documents or asserted any claim of executive privilege.”

Among the new disclosures in the 36-page filing were that the search yielded three classified documents in desks inside Trump’s office, with more than 100 documents in 13 boxes or containers with classification markings in the residence, including some at the most restrictive levels. That was twice the number of classified documents the former president’s lawyers turned over voluntarily while swearing an oath that they had returned all the material demanded by the government.

Investigators developed evidence that “government records were likely concealed and removed” from the storage room at Mar-a-Lago after the Justice Department sent Trump’s office a subpoena for any remaining documents with classified markings. That led prosecutors to conclude that “efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government’s investigation,” the government filing said.

Among the most crucial disclosures were those concerning the actions of Trump’s legal team and whether they had misled Justice Department officials and the FBI.

The Justice Department effort began in May, after the FBI examined 15 boxes of documents the National Archives had pre viously retrieved from Mar-a-Lago after months of asking Trump’s representatives to return missing records. The bureau found 184 classified documents in that initial batch.

On May 11, department lawyers obtained a subpoena to retrieve all materials marked as classified that were not turned over by the former president.

The FBI “uncovered multiple sources of evidence indi cating that the response to the May 11 grand jury subpoena was incomplete and that classified documents remained at the premises, notwithstanding the sworn certification made to the government on June 3,” the Justice Department filing said. “In particular, the government developed evidence that a search limited to the storage room would not have uncovered all the classified documents at the premises.”

While the filing provided important new information about the timeline of the investigation, much of the information was mentioned, in less detail, in the affidavit used to obtain the warrant, which a federal magistrate judge unsealed last week.

Tuesday’s filing, which was released minutes before a midnight deadline imposed by a federal judge, accompanied a sealed list of the documents, many of them highly classified, that Trump retained at Mar-a-Lago. That inventory, filed earlier in the day, is likely to be far more detailed than the brief list included in the search warrant unsealed at the request of Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Trump’s team also provided the department’s national security division with a written statement on behalf of his office by one of Trump’s lawyers who was serving as the formal “cus todian” of the files. While that person’s name has been redacted in government filings, multiple people have identified her as ChristinaBobb’sBobb.statement was attached to the department’s filing Tuesday. In it, the lawyer wrote that “based upon the information that has been provided to me,” there had been a “diligent” search and all documents responsive to the subpoena were being returned.

The filing noted “the FBI, in a matter of hours, recovered twice as many documents with classification markings as the ‘diligent search’ that the former president’s counsel and other representatives had weeks to perform,” a fact that it said “calls into serious question the representations made in the June 3 certifica tion and casts doubt on the extent of cooperation in this matter.”

The department, inundated by a torrent of misinformation and vitriol unleashed on federal law enforcement officials by Trump and his supporters, has been using legal filings, rather than social media or public comments, to disclose the evidence and legal reasoning behind its actions. On Monday, prosecutors sought permission to extend the length of their response beyond the limit normally set by the federal court, a request that was quickly granted.

The filing included one striking visual aid — a photograph of at least five yellow folders recovered from Trump’s resort and residence marked “Top Secret” and another red one labeled “Secret.”But department officials are not expected to file charges imminently, if they ever do. And the specific contents of the materials the government recovered in the search remain un clear — as does what risk to national security Trump’s decision to retain the materials posed.

Trump’s legal team, which has at times been slow to respond to the government’s actions since the search, waited weeks to even file its request for a special master, which was intended to halt the examination of the documents. The delay allowed the government to complete its initial assessment of the material — potentially rendering the request moot.

On Tuesday, the Justice Department argued that a special master was “unnecessary and would significantly harm important governmental interests, including national security interests.”

The Trump appointee hearing the request, Judge Aileen M. Cannon of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, has signaled that she was inclined to appoint a special master but wanted to first hear from the Justice Department.

On Monday, the government said it had set aside materials that could potentially be covered by attorney-client privilege, although Trump’s lawsuit had raised executive privilege, a diffe rent issue. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for Thursday in West Palm Beach, Florida.

The department’s decision to use a court filing as a vehicle to provide a more extensive explanation of the government’s actions — and to counter Trump’s legal claims — evolved over the past few days and lawyers wrangled over small details until moments before it was filed, according to people familiar with the situation.

On June 3, his team presented FBI agents with 38 additio nal documents with classified markings, including 17 labeled top secret.

After the presidential election was called for Biden on Nov. 7, 2020, Mastriano was greeted as a star at the first “Stop the Steal” rally at the capitol in Harrisburg that afternoon. He became one of the most prominent faces of the movement to overturn the election in Pennsylvania, working with Trump’s lawyers to publicize widely debunked claims regarding election malfeasance and to send a slate of “alternate” electors to Washington, on the spurious legal theory that they could be used to overturn the outcome. (He would later be present at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, though there is no evidence that he entered the building.) When Republican colleagues in the state Senate criticized those schemes and Mastriano by name, he pointed to the size of his online army.

Mastriano has also drawn criticism for his efforts to expand his social-media reach beyond Facebook and Twitter into newer, fringier spaces on the right.

“It is the best-executed and most radical ‘ghost the media’ strategy in this cycle,” said Michael Caputo, a former Trump cam paign adviser, who said other Republican strategists were watching Mastriano’s example closely. “It’s never been done before. He’s on a spacewalk,” he said. “And the question we’re all asking is, does he make it back to the capsule?”Although Mastriano no longer hosts fireside chats, his cam paign posts several times more often a day on Facebook than most candidates, according to Kyle Tharp, the author of the newsletter FWIW, which tracks digital politics. His campaign’s Facebook post engagements have been comparable to those of Shapiro, despite Shapiro’s spending far more on digital advertising.

“That whole movement is rock-solid behind him,” said Sam Faddis, the leader of UnitePA, a self-described Patriot group based in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania.

After initially standing his ground, Mastriano finally bowed to sustained criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike and closed his personal account with Gab early this month, issuing a brief statement denouncing antisemitism.

“I have more followers on Facebook alone than all 49 other senators combined,” Mastriano told Steve Turley, a local rightwing podcast host, in an interview. “That any colleague or fellow Republican would think that it would be a good idea to throw me under the bus with that kind of reach — I mean, they’re just not very smart people.”

Charlie Gerow, a veteran Pennsylvania Republican operative and candidate for governor who lost to Mastriano in May, said this loyal following was Mastriano’s greatest strength. “He’s leveraged that audience on every mission he’s undertaken,” he said.

Gab’s chief executive, Andrew Torba, who lives in Penn sylvania, has made antisemitic statements himself and appeared at a white nationalist conference this spring.

Mastriano has continued to run a convention-defying cam paign. He employs political neophytes in key positions and has for months refused to interact with mainstream national and local reporters beyond expelling them from events. (His campaign did not respond to requests for comment for this article.)

By CHARLES HOMANS In the early days of the pandemic, Diane Fisher, a nurse from Weatherly, Pennsylvania, was surfing through videos on Face book when she came across a livestream from Doug Mastriano, a Pennsylvania state senator.

He grants interviews almost exclusively to friendly radio and TV shows and podcasts that share Mastriano’s far-right politics, and continues to heavily rely on Facebook to reach voters directly.

“I think it’s going to be important for him to run a more tra ditional campaign, dealing with the regular media even when it’s unpalatable and unfriendly,” Gerow said.

Mastriano was eventually removed from the chairmanship of a state Senate committee overseeing an investigation he had cham pioned into the state’s election results, and he was later expelled from the Senate’s Republican caucus — episodes that burnished his credentials with supporters suspicious of the state’s G.O.P. establish ment. His campaign for governor, which he formally announced this January, has drawn on not only the base he has cultivated since 2020 but also on the right-wing grassroots groups with whom he has made common cause on COVID and the 2020 election.

This month Shapiro, who is Jewish, spent $1 million on TV ads highlighting Mastriano’s connections to Gab. “We cannot allow this to become normalized — Doug Mastriano is dangerous and extreme, and we must defeat him in November,” said Will Simons, a spokesman for the Shapiro campaign.

Still, some Democrats who watched Mastriano’s rapid rise at close range have cautioned against counting him out. “Mastriano’s been underestimated by his own party,” said Brit Crampsie, a politi cal consultant who was until recently the state Senate Democrats’ spokeswoman. “I fear him being underestimated by the Democrats. I wouldn’t rule him out.”

A career Army officer until his retirement in 2017 and a hardline social conservative, Mastriano won a special election for the state Senate in 2019 after campaigning on his opposition to what he described as the “barbaric holocaust” of legal abortion and his view that the United States is an inherently Christian nation whose Constitution is incompatible with other faiths. But he was known to few outside his district until he began his pandemic broadcasts in late March 2020.

In July, the liberal watchdog group Media Matters noted that Mastriano, according to his campaign filings, had paid $5,000 to the far-right social media platform Gab, which gained notoriety in 2018 after the suspect charged in the shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, in which 11 people were killed, used the platform to detail his racist and antisemitic views and plans for the shooting.

The extremely online rise of Doug Mastriano

“He is a Facebook power user,” Tharp said. But Mastriano’s campaign has done little to expand his reach outside his loyal base, even as polls since the primary have consis tently shown him trailing Shapiro, Pennsylvania’s attorney general, albeit often narrowly. And Mastriano’s efforts to add to his audience on the right through advertising on Gab, a platform favored by white nationalists, prompted a rare retreat in the face of criticism last month.

But with recent polls showing Mastriano lagging between 3 and 10 points behind Shapiro, Gerow is among the strategists doubting his primary strategy will translate to a general electorate.

Starting in late March 2020, Mastriano had beamed regularly into Facebook from his living room, offering his increasingly strident denunciations of the state’s quarantine policies and answering ques tions from his viewers, sometimes as often as six nights a week and for as long as an hour at a stretch.

In the live videos, Mastriano was unguarded and at times emotional, giving friendly shout-outs to familiar names in the chat window. His fireside chats arrived at a fertile moment on the platform, when conservative and right-wing activists were using Facebook to assemble new organizations and campaigns to convert discontent into action — first with the COVID lockdowns and, later, the 2020 electionMastrianooutcome.linked himself closely to these currents of activism in his home state, speaking at the groups’ demonstrations and events.

The push reflected a view that one of Mastriano’s core vulner abilities lies in his vast online footprint, with its hours of freewheeling conversation in spaces frequented by far-right voices.

A video he livestreamed from the first significant anti-lockdown rally on the steps of the State Capitol in Harrisburg in April 2020, armed with a selfie stick, eventually racked up more than 850,000 views.

“People were upset, and they were fearful about things,” Fisher said. “And he would tell us what was going on.” Fisher told her family and her friends about what Mastriano billed as “fireside chats,” after Franklin D. Roosevelt’s radio broad casts during the Depression and World War II. “The next thing you knew,” she recalled, “there was 5,000 people watching.” Mastriano’s rise from obscure and inexperienced far-right politician to Republican standard-bearer in Pennsylvania’s governor’s race was swift, stunning and powered by social media. Although he is perhaps better known for challenging the results of the 2020 presidential election and calling the separation of church and state a “myth,” Mastriano built his foundation of support on his innovative use of Facebook in the crucible of the early pandemic, connect ing directly with anxious and isolated Americans who became an uncommonly loyal base for his primary campaign. He is now the GOP nominee in perhaps the most closely watched race for governor in the country, in part because it would place a 2020 election denier in control of a major battleground state’s election system. Both President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump are making campaign appearances in Pennsylvania this week. As the race enters its last months, one of the central ques tions is whether the online mobilization that Mastriano successfully wielded against his own party establishment will prove similarly effective against Josh Shapiro, his Democratic rival — or whether a political movement nurtured in the hothouse of right-wing social media discontent will be unable or unwilling to transcend it.

Gorbachev lifted restrictive policies that enabled hundreds of thousands of Jews like Chvouim to seek futures in the United States and Israel.

Gorbachev lifted restrictive policies that enabled hundreds of thousands of Jews like Chvouim to seek futures in the United States and “ThanksIsrael.to Gorbachev, we came to America,’’ he said. “We could travel to other Aboutcountries.”1.2million immigrants from the former Soviet Union called the United States home in 2019, according to tabula tions of census data by the Migration Policy Institute. The vast majority speak Russian, and the two largest groups, Russians and Ukrainians, number 392,000 and 355,000.

Decades after immigrating to the United States in search of freedom to live and pray as they chose, without state control or discrimination, members of the Russian-speaking diaspora expressed gratitude to Mikhail Gorbachev for ushering in a new era for Russia and the republics formerly in its orbit. “I and others who like freedom, we are thankful that Gorbachev did everything to bring freedom to our country,” said Konstantin Chvouim, 74.

Whether they arrived in the United States decades ago, or just last year, Rus sians and others from the former Soviet Union said that they admired the last Soviet president for ending the Cold War without bloodshed.“Irespect Gorbachev for putting Rus sia on its knees without firing any single shot,” said Mark Goren, 75, another Russian speaker who immigrated to Los Angeles from Kyiv decades ago.

“Before Gorbachev, all these former republics, Uz bekistan, Ukraine, their facto ries, everything was connec ted,” said Vasily, 66, a kitchen worker at a Russian grocery in the San Fernando Valley who asked to be identified by his first name because of concerns about backlash. “We were the same people, speaking same language.”Recalling food shortages and dwindling living stan dards, Vasily, who arrived in the United States five years ago from Lviv, Ukraine, said, “He ruined everything. The countries couldn’t exist se parated, and everything went to trash.”

“He let Lativa, Estonia and other countries choose their own path.” But others said that they could not forgive Gorbachev for the economic hardship provoked by his reforms and the disintegration of an omnipotent Soviet Union into smaller, independent states after perestroika.

Chvouim emigrated with his family in 1993 from Odesa, Ukraine, to the United States, where he started two successful Rus sian delis in Los Angeles called Babushka Grandma’s and pursued his interest in jazz.

“That was wrong, and it’s pretty hard to swallow,” she added.

One in seven Native Americans and Alaska Natives has diabetes, the highest rate among racial or ethnic groups in the United States, and many struggle with obesity or excess weight. Both conditions make people more susceptible to severe COVID-19, and crowded multigenerational housing adds to the risk.“There is no doubt COVID was a contributor to the increase in mortality during the last couple of years, but it didn’t start these problems — it made everything that much worse,” Bullock said.

Asian Americans held the highest life expectancy among racial and ethnic groups included in the new analysis: 83.5 years, on average. The ﬁgure fell only slightly last year, from 83.6 in 2020.

White Americans experienced the smallest decline during the ﬁrst year of the pandemic, a drop of 1.4 years to 77.4 from 78.8. For white and Black Americans, life expectancy is now the lowest it has been since 1995, federal researchers said.

These include a fragmented, proﬁtdriven health care system; poor diet and a lack of physical activity; and pervasive risk factors such as smoking, widespread access to guns, poverty and pollution. The problems are compounded for marginalized groups by racism and segregation, he added.

White Americans saw the secondlargest decline in average life expectancy in 2021, a drop of 1 year, to 76.4 in 2021 from 77.4 in 2020. The decline was steeper than that among Black Americans, at seven-tenths of a year. That was followed by Hispanic Americans, whose life expectancy dropped only two-tenths of a year in 2021. But both Black and Hispanic Americans were hit hard in 2020, the ﬁrst year of the pandemic. Average life expectancy for Hispanic Americans fell by 4 years, to 77.9 from 81.9 in 2019. The ﬁgure for Black Americans declined almost as much, by more than 3 years to 71.5 years in 2020.

The result is a high disease burden among Americans, and shorter life expectancy compared with that in comparable highincome nations over the last two decades, Woolf said.

U.S. life expectancy falls again in ‘historic’ setback

“This signals a huge impact on the population in terms of increased mortality,” he added.Dr. Steven Woolf, director emeritus of the Center on Society and Health at Virginia Commonwealth University, characterized the diminution of life expectancy in the United States as While“historic.”other high-income countries were also hard hit in 2020, the ﬁrst year of the pandemic, most had begun to recover by last year, he said. “None of them experienced a continuing fall in life expectancy like the U.S. did, and a good number of them saw life expectancy start inching back to normal,” Woolf said. Those countries had more successful vaccination campaigns and populations that were more willing to take behavioral measures to prevent infections, such as wearing masks, he said, adding: “The U.S. is clearly an outlier.”Butthe coronavirus was not solely to blame. Long-standing health problems — rooted in poverty, discrimination and poor access to health care — left Native Americans and Alaska Natives particularly vulnerable to the virus, said Dr. Ann Bullock, former director of diabetes treatment and prevention at the federal Indian Health Service agency and a member of the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe.

It was the largest reduction in life expectancy in the United States over the course of a two-year period since the early 1920s, when life expectancy fell to 57.2 in 1923. That drop-off may have been related to high unemployment and suicide rates during an earlier recession, as well as a steep increase in mortality among nonwhite men and women.

A COVID victim is transferred to a refrigerated morgue trailer outside a hospital in Los Angeles, Jan. 21, 2021. The average life expectancy of Americans has fallen precipitously, the sharpest two-year decline in nearly 100 years and a stark reminder of the toll exacted on the nation by the ongoing pandemic.

Average life expectancy in these populations is now “lower than that of every country in the Americas except Haiti, which is astounding,” said Noreen Goldman, professor of demography and public affairs at the Princeton School of Public and International Affairs.The continued plunge was all the more upsetting because it occurred after a successful vaccination campaign, she said, adding: “The Native American population did quite well in the vaccination efforts, and that made us feel that 2021 would not be as devastating as 2020.”

Although the U.S. health care system is among the best in the world, Americans suffer from what experts have called “the U.S. health disadvantage,” an amalgam of inﬂuences that erode well-being, Woolf said.

The average life expectancy of Americans fell precipitously in 2020 and 2021, the sharpest two-year decline in nearly 100 years and a stark reminder of the toll exacted on the nation by the continuing coronavirus pandemic. In 2021, the average American could expect to live until age 76, federal health researchers reported Wednesday. The figure represents a loss of almost 3 years since 2019, when Americans could expect to live, on average, nearly 79 years. The reduction has been particularly steep among Native Americans and Alaska Natives, the National Center for Health Statistics reported. Average life expectancy in those groups was shortened by 4 years in 2020 alone.Thecumulative decline since the pandemic started, more than 6 1/2 years on average, has brought life expectancy to 65 among Native Americans and Alaska Natives — on par with the figure for all Americans in 1944.In 2021, the shortening of life span was more pronounced among white Americans than among Black Americans, who saw greater reductions in the first year of the pandemic. While the pandemic has driven most of the decline in life expectancy, a rise in accidental deaths and drug overdoses also contributed, as did deaths from heart disease, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, the new reportUntilfound.now, experts have been accustomed to measuring life expectancy changes in increments of months, not years. “Even small declines in life expectancy of a tenth or two-tenths of a year mean that on a population level, a lot more people are dying prematurely than they really should be,” said Robert Anderson, chief of mortality statistics at the NCHS.

Snap cuts 20% of employees and restructures

Snap’sbusiness.”layoffs

In July, Snap reported its slowest-ever rate of quarterly growth since going public in 2017 and said it would “substan tially reduce” its pace of hiring. It also declined to predict its financial performance for the current quarter because of “un certainties related to the operating environment.” Snap’s stock price has fallen nearly 80% since the beginning of the year.

Spiegel said the scale of the layoffs would “vary from team to team.” He said the extent of the cuts would also “subs tantially reduce the risk of ever having to do this again.” The company said it expected to save $500 million from the res tructuring.

Spiegel also said Snap’s revenue in the current quarter had increased 8% from a year ago, which was “well below” what the company expected earlier this year but was an im provement from the “approximately flat” revenue growth at the start of the quarter in July.

Many social media companies are grappling with the prospect of a recession. Meta, the parent company of Face book and Instagram, and Twitter have also slowed their hiring in recent months. But Snap, like Twitter, is especially vulnera ble to economic shocks because it is a smaller social media company and relies heavily on one main way of making mo ney. “When the economy starts to slow, advertising budgets get tight,” said Brent Thill, an equity analyst at Jefferies. “Ad vertisers tend to rise to the proven platforms, like Google or Amazon, where the wallets are.”

Snap and other social media companies also continue facing scrutiny from legislators and regulators for exposing young users to potentially harmful content, which some have said can worsen eating disorders and mental illnesses. Snap chat rolled out its first parental controls in August.

Layoffs at Snap, which makes the Snapchat app, will affect close to 1,300 of its 6,400 workers.

By KALLEY HUANG Snap, the maker of the ephemeral messaging app Snap chat, is laying off 20% of its employees, discontinuing at least six products and appointing its first chief operating officer in seven years, the financially struggling social media company said Wednesday.

The San Juan Daily Star Thursday, September 1, 2022 11

Some of Snap’s executives have left. Its chief business officer, Jeremi Gorman, and its vice president of sales in the Americas, Peter Naylor, recently departed for Netflix. Their exits were reported earlier by The Verge.

In an email to employees on Wednesday, Spiegel bla med challenging macroeconomic conditions for forcing his hand. “While we will continue our work to re-accelerate reve nue growth, we must ensure Snap’s long-term success in any environment,” he wrote. He added, “I am deeply sorry that these changes are necessary to ensure the long-term success of our were reported earlier by the technology news website The Verge. Snap, which is popular with teenagers and young adults and has more than 347 million active users around the world, has struggled for months. Privacy changes from Apple have affected its advertising business, and rising inflation and eco nomic uncertainty have made advertisers skittish.

The cuts are set to affect close to 1,300 of Snap’s 6,400 employees, the company said. Snap is closing down its divi sion that produced exclusive short shows with celebrities and other influencers, as well as its social mapping app, Zenly; its music creation app, Voisey; and hardware including its drone camera, Pixy. At the same time, Snap said it was appointing Jerry Hun ter, a senior vice president for engineering, to chief operating officer. Hunter will become the No. 2 to Evan Spiegel, who is a founder of Snap and its chief executive. The chief operating officer role had been vacant since 2015.

The projects and products that Snap is ending had been rolled out so the company could better compete with its rivals and attract creators to the platform. Apps like Zenly and Voi sey, which run independently from Snapchat, were positioned against Instagram and TikTok. In his email, Spiegel said Snap would focus more on three areas: community growth, revenue growth and augmen ted reality. He said the company would continue investing in those priorities.

The News/Media Alliance, a trade group representing 2,000 publishers including The New York Times, has also lobbied for changes, saying the language of the bill could require newspapers and magazines to undertake costly changes like instituting age veriﬁcation for online readers or creating different versions of articles for minors.

By NATASHA SINGER Social media and game platforms often use recommendation algorithms, find-a-friend tools, smartphone notices and other enticements to keep people glued online. But the same techniques may pose risks to scores of children who have flocked to online services that were not specifically designed forNowthem.California lawmakers have passed the first statute in the nation requiring apps and sites to install guardrails for users younger than 18. The new rules would compel many online services to curb the risks that certain popular features — like allowing strangers to message one another — may pose to child users.Thebill, the California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act, could herald a shift in the way lawmakers regulate the tech industry. Rather than wade into heated political battles over online content, the legislation takes a practical, product safety approach. It aims to hold online services to the same kinds of basic safety standards as the automobile industry — essentially requiring apps and sites to install the digital equivalent of seat belts and air bags for younger users.

The scope of the California legislation far exceeds federal safeguards for youngsters online. A federal law, the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998, narrowly protects the privacy of users younger than 13 — and then only when they use online services aimed at youngsters, such as children’s video apps.California is already a pioneer in children’s online safety and data privacy, enacting protections over the last decade that dozens of other states have replicated. Now it has become the ﬁrst state to pass a bill requiring general-audience sites and apps “likely to be accessed” by children to install basic protections for users younger than 18.

“We all as a society have to start actually setting a ﬂoor,” said Beeban Kidron, a member of the House of Lords who spearheaded the British effort and is the founder of the 5Rights Foundation, a digital rights group for children. “Let’s stop introducing adults to children or putting children on a map so you can see where they are. Don’t notify kids all through the night. Turn offTheautoplay.”California code could apply to many other online services that children are likely to use: game platforms, connected toys, voice-activated digital assistants and virtual reality apps. The bill could also affect popular education services like Google Classroom, a school assignment portal used by millions of children, whose privacy policy says it collects information about users’ Opponentslocations.ofthe children’s code said the wide mandate could pose problems for businesses. Among the most visible critics: the California Chamber of Commerce and TechNet, a tech industry association whose members include Amazon, Apple, Cisco, Google, Oracle, Pinterest, Snap and Meta, the social media giant formerly known as Facebook.

The new rules tap into a national debate over the potentially deleterious effect that social media platforms may have on the mental health and body images of some young people.

“The digital ecosystem is not safe by default for children,” said Buffy Wicks, a Democrat in the state Assembly who cosponsored the bill with a Republican colleague, Jordan Cunningham. “We think the Kids’ Code, as we call it, would make tech safer for children by essentially requiring these companies to better protect them.”

Industry groups pressed California lawmakers to narrow the bill’s deﬁnition of a “child” to a person younger than 16 — rather than a minor younger than 18. They also argued that the scope of the bill was too broad and its provisions too vague to carry out.“The requirement that companies consider the ‘best interests’ of children is incredibly difﬁcult to interpret,” TechNet and the Chamber of Commerce wrote in a letter to legislators in April. In a similar letter in June, industry groups said the bill’s broad focus on online services “likely to be accessed” by children would subject “far more websites and platforms than necessary” to the bill’s requirements.

The new rules, which would take effect in 2024, could prompt some online services to introduce nationwide changes, rather than treat minors in California differently.

Federal regulators said Google had proﬁted by using children’s data to target them with ads on YouTube. Separately, regulators complained that Musical.ly had made children’s proﬁle photos and other sensitive details public by default, saying the practice could have enabled adult strangers to contact youngerProponentsusers. of the California bill say the new rules should reduce such risks while promoting children’s autonomy and well-beingCriticsonline.inthe industry say the legislation is overly broad and could subject many more online services than necessary to burdensome rules.

Instagram in particular has come under heightened scrutiny. Last fall, members of Congress examined how the social network’s automated recommendation engine had served graphic images of self-harm to teenage girls as well as content promoting eating disorders to younger users. Soon after, President Joe Biden called for greater child safety on social media. Some companies have faced criticism for exploiting children’s data. In 2019, Google and the operators of Musical. ly, the popular video-sharing app now known as TikTok, each agreed to pay multimillion-dollar federal ﬁnes to settle charges that they had illegally collected personal information from children without parental permission.

“Children should be afforded protections not only by online products and services speciﬁcally directed at them,” the statute reads, “but by all online products and services they are likely to Theaccess.”California bill would require online services for general audiences to proactively design their products and features to protect child users. In practice, that means apps and sites must analyze and mitigate the risks that their services may pose to minors — like exposing them to explicit content or using manipulative techniques to prod them to spend hours on end online.The legislation also requires online services to turn on the highest privacy settings by default for minors. And it prohibits online platforms from collecting children’s precise locations without “providing an obvious sign to the child” while their whereabouts is being tracked.

Civil liberties experts raised concerns about another issue: consumer privacy. In particular, they warned that the requirement for general-audience sites to provide greater protections for children could lead to unintended consequences for adults.“Such a system would likely lead platforms to set up elaborate age-veriﬁcation systems for everyone, meaning that all users would have to submit personal data and submit to more corporate surveillance,” the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a digital rights group, wrote to legislators in April.

Legislators have made some changes to accommodate industry concerns. For one thing, they added a provision giving companies a grace period to ﬁx violations after receiving notice from regulators.

The California statute takes many of its cues from Britain, where regulators put comprehensive online protections for minors into effect in 2021. British ofﬁcials have said their effort, called the Children’s Code, was intended to set baseline safety standards, like preventing adult strangers from contacting children or disabling social media features that could show a child’s exact location on a map to other users. Designers of the British code said they also wanted to limit manipulative practices — like barraging children with notiﬁcations at all hours or automatically playing videos one after the other — that could get young users hooked on social media and game platforms.

The state Senate passed the bill Monday evening by a vote of 33-0. The state Assembly had already approved a version of the bill. It now requires approval by Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has not taken a public stance on the measure.

“As you know, we have a very, very important task there to perform, to as sess the real situation there, to help stabi lize the situation as much as we can,” the IAEA director general, Rafael Grossi, told reporters in Kyiv early Wednesday before departing in a convoy of armored SUVs.

Fourteen experts with the International Atomic Energy Agency, the United Na tions nuclear watchdog, landed in Ukraine this week, where they are confronted by one of the most complicated missions in the agency’s history. The IAEA has also worked in Iraq, Iran and North Korea. To reach the occupied facility, the Za porizhzhia nuclear power plant, the team must negotiate the craters and trenches of the front lines and enter an area where fre quent shelling has raised fears of a nuclear catastrophe. The team could reach the front line between Russian and Ukrainian forces as early as Wednesday afternoon.

Both Russia, whose forces seized the plant not long after invading, and Ukraine, whose military holds positions only a few miles away, say they support the IAEA mission. But they have disagreed on how it should be carried out. Russian officials have ignored pleas to withdraw from the facility to create a demilitarized zone aroundMykhailoit. Podolyak, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said Tuesday that key aspects of the nego tiations were in question, among them the route to the facility. He said he was still hopeful, however, that the monitors would reach the plant “one way or another.”

As a result, in death, Gorbachev immediately became a symbol for Kre mlin allies making the case that trying to liberalize society and make nice with the West can lead to disaster. Putin let slip his view of Gorbachev as a weak negotiator last year when he told NBC that the West had tricked the last Soviet leader at the end of the Cold War by suggesting that NATO would not ex pand eastward but not enshrining such a pledge in a treaty. (U.S. officials say they made no such commitment.)

Gorbachev, in ill health, said nothing himself publicly this year about the war in Ukraine. His Gorbachev Foundation, a research institute that “seeks to promote democratic values,” issued a statement two days after the invasion calling for a “speedy cessation of hostilities” and “the immediate start of peace talks.”

For Putin, the end of the Soviet Union was the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century,” a “genuine tragedy” for millions of Russians becau se it left them scattered across newly formed national borders. The disaster was caused, in Putin’s telling, by the weak nerves of a leader too willing to bend to the demands of a treacherous and duplicitous West — a mistake, the Kremlin’s televised propaganda now often reminds viewers, that Putin is de termined not to repeat. In Ukraine, Putin is fighting in the shadows of the empire whose end Gorbachev presided over, having star ted a war that has killed thousands in the name of restoring Moscow’s domi nance over what it claims to be Rus sian lands. But Putin’s battle to reverse Gorbachev’s legacy extends beyond territorial control to the personal and political freedoms that the last Soviet president ushered in — and that the Kremlin is now fast unraveling. “All of Gorbachev’s reforms are now zero, in ashes, in smoke,” a friend of Gorbachev’s, radio journalist Alexei A. Venediktov, said in a July interview. “This was his life’s work.”

he day that Russia invaded Ukrai ne, Feb. 24, the legacy of Mikhail S. Gorbachev loomed over Presi dent Vladimir Putin’s predawn speech.

“This was a man who was a princi pled opponent of violence and blood shed,” Dmitri A. Muratov, the editor of Novaya Gazeta and a winner of last year’s Nobel Peace Prize, said in a pho ne interview.Still,Gorbachev’s precise views on the invasion that began six months before his death have remained a mys tery. Muratov said that he frequently visited Gorbachev in the hospital over the past two years and that he believed that Gorbachev “was not in the condi tion to comment on current political events.”Putin issued a statement Wednes day that sounded a conciliatory note — even as his allies in Parliament and in the state media went so far as to con sign Gorbachev a place in hell. Putin, addressing Gorbachev’s “re latives and friends,” said, “Mikhail Gor bachev was a politician and statesman who had a huge impact on the course of world history.” “He deeply understood that re forms were necessary, he strove to offer his own solutions to urgent problems,” PutinTheadded.brief statement allowed Putin to appear as a statesman above the po litical fray, but it quickly became clear that Gorbachev would not be venera ted by the Kremlin. Its spokesman said that the format of Gorbachev’s funeral — such as whether it would receive state honors — had yet to be determi ned.A cornerstone of Putin’s propagan da message is that he stabilized Rus sia — rebuilding the economy and the country’s status as a great power — af ter the chaotic and humiliating 1990s that were ushered in by Gorbachev.

“Mikhail Gorbachev can serve as an illustration that good intentions of a national leader can create hell on ear th for a whole country,” said a column published early Wednesday by the sta te news agency RIA Novosti. It descri bed him as responsible for “a destroyed country, the nightmare of the 1990s, and the millions of lives lost in civil wars, ethnic cleansing, terrorist attacks and gang wars.”

But Gorbachev, the son of a Ukra inian mother and a Russian father, backed Putin’s view of Ukraine as a “brotherly nation” that should rightfu lly be in Russia’s orbit. He supported Putin’s annexation of the Crimean pe ninsula in 2014, describing the move as representing the will of a region heavily populated by people who identified as Russian. And he castigated the West for “trying to draw Ukraine into NATO,” warning that such attempts “will not bring anything but discord between Ukraine and Russia.” But he also appeared confident that the worst could be avoided. Asked about tensions between Ukraine and Russia in 2014, he told a Siberian news outlet, “A war between Russia and Ukraine — this is absurd.”

Igor Korotchenko, a military analyst who is a regular on state television talk shows, was even more blunt. On Twit ter, he wrote of Gorbachev: “Burn in hell!”To those Russians who yearn for better ties with the West and greater freedoms at home, Gorbachev remains a visionary figure. But Muratov, the No vaya Gazeta editor, said that perhaps the former Soviet leader’s greatest lega cy was his arms-control talks with Pre sident Ronald Reagan that reduced the chances of nuclear annihilation. Putin, in contrast, has not shied away from threatening the West with his nuclear arsenal and fearsome new missiles.

Gorbachev, who has died at age 91, was still in power when Venediktov’s freewheeling liberal radio station, Echo of Moscow, first went on the air in 1990 and came to symbolize Russia’s newfound freedoms. After Putin orde red troops into Ukraine in February, the Kremlin forced the station to shut down.And Novaya Gazeta, the indepen dent newspaper that Gorbachev used his Nobel Peace Prize money to help found in the early 1990s, was forced to suspend publication in March, threate ned by a new wartime censorship law.

“You fooled the little dummy,” Pu tin said in the interview, using a schoo lyardThatrhyme.historical grievance underpins Putin’s contention that the West is not to be trusted, and that Russia needs a stronger, more assertive leader, a view that state media asserted Wednesday with full-throated criticism of Gorba chev.

With war in Ukraine, Putin tries to unravel Gorbachev’s legacy

“The paralysis of power and will is the first step toward complete degrada tion and oblivion,” Putin intoned, re ferring to the Soviet Union’s collapse. “We lost confidence for only one mo ment, but it was enough to disrupt the balance of forces in the world.”

“They gave us the gift of at least 30 years of life without the threat of a glo bal nuclear war,” Muratov said of Gor bachev and Reagan. “We have wasted this gift. The gift does not exist anymo re.”

Official reaction from Russia, where the news came late at night, was muted.

Much like his legacy, reaction to Gorbachev’s death is sharply divided

In the end, however, he failed, Taub man said, because those freedoms began to recede even under his rule: “He was a decent man, too decent for the country that he was ruling.”

Russian hard-liners were quick to condemn Gorbachev.

Boris Johnson, the soon-to-depart prime minister of Britain, wrote on Twit ter, “I always admired the courage and integrity he showed in bringing the Cold War to a peaceful conclusion.”

Igor Girkin, a former colonel in Rus sian intelligence and previous comman der for the Russian-backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, wrote on Telegram that Gorbachev was a “traitor” who deserved “eternalSomeshame.”onUkrainian social media also remembered that Gorbachev had stalled in telling the world about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, when Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union, exposing countless Ukrainians to deadly radiation.

President Joe Biden praised Gorba chev for having had “the courage to ad mit that things needed to change” and for embracing reforms to guide his people out of the effects of years of isolation and deprivation.“Thesewere the acts of a rare leader — one with the imagination to see that a different future was possible and the courage to risk his entire career to achie ve it,” he said in a statement. “The result was a safer world and greater freedom for millions of people.” U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Gu terres described Gorbachev in a state ment as a unique leader “who changed the course of history.” He did more than anyone to end the Cold War, Guterres said, by “pursuing the path of negotiation, reform, transparency and disarmament.”

Reaction to the death of Mikhail Gorbachev, as with his life, was divided sharply into two main camps.He was especially revered in the West and among some Russians for brin ging down the curtain on the brutal, op pressive Soviet system, ending the tense years of the Cold War that had brought the world to the brink of a nuclear con frontation. Some Russian hard-liners and others reviled him for the very same thing, damning him for letting the power of the Soviet Union dissipate. Those divisions were heightened by the fact that President Vladimir Putin of Russia has buried much of Gorbachev’s legacy of peaceful engagement in the past six months by invading Ukraine and by taking Russia down the very authori tarian path that Gorbachev had started to dismantle.Tributes poured in from politicians, activists, journalists and others.

Ultimately, Gorbachev left a divided legacy, said William Taubman, an Ameri can political science professor who with his wife, Jane, interviewed the leader at least eight times for a 2017 biography.

Former Secretary of State Henry Kis singer, speaking to the BBC, said that “the people of Eastern Europe, and the Ger man people, and in the end the Russian people, owe him a great debt of gratitu de for the inspiration, for the courage in coming forward with these ideas of free dom.”

Putin, who has called the collapse of the Soviet Union the “worst catastrophe” of the 20th century, expressed condolences to the family through his spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, who said there would be a broader statement Wednesday.

The San Juan Daily StarThursday, September 1, 202216

“The legacy is a dual legacy that consists of what he achieved against tre mendous odds and also what he failed to achieve,” Taubman said. “Much to his credit was the end of Soviet totalitaria nism, the end of the Cold War, the libera tion of Eastern Europe and the partial de mocratization of the Soviet Union itself.”

“Here, the work of the National Guard is purely patrolling,” she said, adding that what was needed was an in-depth investi gation to take down the criminal organiza tions.In Celaya, as in many of Mexico’s cities and towns, the municipal police force is too small. According to ratios recommended by the United Nations, a city the size of Cela ya should have a 2,300-strong police force; instead it has 900. The secretary of security for Celaya, Je sús Rivera Peralta, said he had tried to root out graft, and recently fired some 200 police officers for corruption and poor performan ce.

“The issue is that lately, the security checkpoints have become a slaughterhouse for the officers,” said Edgar Chávez, a poli ce commander, adding that they would do their best to improve security. Killings in Celaya surged from fewer than 80 in 2010 to more than 800 in 2020, abating somewhat last year to about 640 — and hundreds have gone missing.

As in much of Mexico, that corruption is deep-seated. Two Celaya officers who requested anonymity to speak openly com plained about finding drugs and backpacks with cartel insignia inside their superiors’ vehicles.

Mexico’s leader vowed ‘hugs not bullets,’ but the carnage continues

Celaya was once a prosperous and pea ceful hub in Guanajuato state, with major national highways and railways connecting it to the United States. A vibrant auto indus try drew Japanese families to live amid its beautiful colonial architecture, commuting to the factories of Honda and other interna tionalButcompanies.Celayatook a brutal turn about four years ago, as one of Mexico’s most power ful cartels, Jalisco New Generation, battled with a local criminal organization for turf. Now, the local government struggles to as sert control over security, and many foreig ners and wealthy Mexicans have relocated.

The dissolution of the Federal Police also meant Mexico’s anti-crime investigative force was nearly halved overnight, according to a U.S. official who spoke anonymously to share sensitive details. The Federal Police had some 10,000 investigators; the National Guard has just a few hundred, the official said.Alejandro Hope, a Mexico City-based security analyst, analyzed government data and said that although the National Guard is nearly triple the size of its predecessor, it only made about 8,000 arrests last year compared to some 21,700 by the Federal Police in 2018. Only 14 of the National Guard arrests stemmed from intelligence work.“Without good intelligence and investi gative units, you will always be putting out fires and not preventing them from starting,” said Cecilia Farfán Méndez, a Mexico secu rity researcher at the University of California San Diego. Senior Mexican officials agree.

“The intelligence areas that the Federal Police had, they’ve practically disappeared,” said Sophia Huett López, the chief of securi ty for the Guanajuato state government.

“It is called the cockroach phenome non, they are crossing the borders from one state to another,” Víctor Alejandro Aguilar Ledesma, the Catholic bishop of Celaya, said of the cartels. He said the violence compe lled him to speak out, which the church usually avoids. This summer, the nation was stunned when gunmen executed two priests in northern Mexico after a person they pur sued took sanctuary in their church.

The issue, the bishop said, was the government’s lack of an effective plan at a national level, an assessment shared by mu nicipal police officials and the chief of secu rity for Guanajuato state. López Obrador famously said that his security strategy would be “hugs, not bu llets” — investing in communities to combat the poverty that fuels criminality, and dissol ving the Federal Police to build a civilian-led National Guard policing force that would be “incorruptible.”Butunder these changes, Mexico lost nearly half of its intelligence capacity to in vestigate and dismantle the country’s vast criminal networks, feeding the impunity that enables“Whatcrime.should the government do? Go vern. And what should a doctor do? Take care of the sick. A civil engineer? Build ro ads,” said the bishop.

“Is it possible to set up a surveillan ce unit nearby?” asked Maura Martínez, a school official. “It’s a dream we have, but how possible is it?”

The president denies that Mexico has gotten more violent during the first half of his six-year term, which ends in 2024. Ho micides fell by nearly 3 % from 2018, the year he took office, to the end of 2021, but the cartels have broadened their reach. Last year, violence caused “massive displace ment” events that drove 44,905 Mexicans to flee their homes — a nearly fivefold in crease from the previous year, according to Mexico’s Commission for Defense and Pro motion of Human Rights. When López Obrador dismantled the Federal Police in 2019 over documented co rruption concerns, he created the new Na tional Guard under the civilian-led Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection to address crime and enable the government to pull the military off the streets. Now, he is expected to transfer that force to the defense ministry.

By MARIA ABI-HABIB AND OSCAR LOPEZ he butcher had been killed and no one knew why. The execution occurred in broad daylight as he worked in a family-owned restaurant, one of many mur ders that go unsolved every week in Celaya, among Mexico’s most dangerous cities. His co-workers and family cried and drank tequila to calm their nerves, while a forensic expert walked among tables still covered with food left behind by customers who had fled during the shooting.

So far, the National Guard has not de livered the security he promised. Many for mer Federal Police refused to join because of pay cuts. Others who joined soon left because former military officials leading the National Guard did not treat them as equals, according to police officers interviewed.

The plight of this city is part of the wor sening security situation across the country. Police in places like Celaya say they are outgunned by criminal gangs in a war they are losing, while the federal forces meant to fight these battles often seem to show up after the shooting is over. Many officials and analysts say that the endless bloodshed — a signal of a govern ment losing control over the country — has been exacerbated by the transformative se curity strategy put in place by the current president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, shortly after taking office, which gutted in telligence operations and has failed to quell the carnage.Theviolence has continued unabated throughout Mexico month after month: For a few days in August, drug cartels and gangs went on a rampage across four states, firing on police and troops, burning businesses and vehicles, and shutting down roads and businesses, including in Celaya. Days later, the son of Celaya’s mayor was assassina ted outside a pharmacy. More violence this week forced schools and universities to can cel classes in Zacatecas state. López Obrador has downplayed the violence under his rule and instead blamed the problem on previous administrations. “Our adversaries are exaggerating,” the president said in a recent news conference. “It’s like staged, it’s propagandistic. There is no major problem, but they do want to grab that banner of violence.” Yet in Celaya, the restaurant attack was just a normal Wednesday afternoon. Seemingly everyone in this city of some 500,000 people in central Mexico knows someone killed or missing. Homicides in the city were up 32% in the first four months of the year compared to the same period in 2021. Community volunteers meet wee kly to search for bodies. The government is rarely able to prevent violence or bring its perpetrators to justice.

With a steady flow of weapons smu ggled from the United States, where gun purchase laws are more lax, the gangs out gun the Celaya police. Over the past few months, grenades have been lobbed at po lice patrols.Afterthe explosion of violence across Mexico in August, officials from one of Celaya’s largest high schools met with Rive ra and his top security officials, begging for more protection from criminals who harass students on the road to school, robbing and selling them drugs.

But what do we call it when the person from whom the benefit flows is not actually on the ballot? What if the person isn’t even personally that popular? Let’s call it phantom coattails.

There are some Democrats nervous about campaigning with Biden because of his poor approval numbers, particularly in competitive districts. But Biden and his successes are the best things Democrats have right now.

When Crist was asked last week on CNN if he wanted Biden to campaign with him, he responded in part by saying of Biden: “He’s a good man. He’s a great man. He’s a great president. I can’t wait for him to get down here. I need his help. I want his help.” Whether other Democrats want Biden’s help or not, I believe that they are going to need it. Running away from the leader of your party is never a good idea. It’s a particularly terrible idea when that leader is on a hot streak.

The coattail effect in politics is the theory that the popularity of a candidate at the top of the ticket redounds to the benefit of those in the same party down ballot.

Biden becomes a boon for Democrats Ricardo Angulo Publisher PO BOX 6537 Caguas PR 00726

In fact, the reemergence of Trump as a constant, prominent feature of national news is probably one of the greatest assets Democrats have going into the midterms. Time has a way of softening the perception of ex-presidents.GeorgeW.Bush went from the man who led the charge on the Iraq War, established the detention camp at Guantanamo Bay and defended torture to the man who laughed a lot, painted portraits and passed Michelle Obama candy at funerals.

Retrospection rehabilitates.

But Trump refuses to exit the battle. And with every revelation of legal jeopardy and suspicious movement, he hinders any possibility of rehabilitation.

They should probably take a note from Charlie Crist, who just won the Democratic primary in Florida to challenge the incumbent governor, Ron DeSantis.

However, Biden keeps adding other things to the other side of the ledger, and on balance, he and the Democrats keep looking stronger.

The War Against Woke now looks silly in light of the escalated War Against Women. Also, Trump has resurfaced as a foil. The stench around him grows stronger as investigations intensify and damning revelations continue to emerge. They may not alter the fealty of his followers, but they remind the rest of us of the horror we escaped by ejecting him from office and how desperately we don’t want to return to it.

None of this is to say that Democrats have a lock on the midterm elections or that they will not suffer losses, as the ruling party historically has. There are still headwinds. Violent crime and inflation loom large in voters’ minds because they have risen to rates that some areas haven’t seen in decades. People blame Biden for that. It’s not in his control, but it’s on his watch. That’s just the way politics works.

Daily StarThursday, September 1,

That is what I believe is happening with President Joe Biden at the moment. With a string of successes, he is building momentum and shaking off narratives of ineffectiveness.Lastweekhe announced that the federal government would forgive billions of dollars of student loan debt. Republicans predictably squawked about it being an unfair giveaway. Progressives complained that the plan didn’t go far enough. But Biden did act. He did fulfill his campaign promise, to a degree. That is crucial. After some major losses — on liberal priorities like voter protections and police reform — voters needed more wins. It wasn’t Biden’s fault that his agenda was blocked. For that, the blame goes to obstructionist Republicans and demi-Democrats like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema.There was, however, a sense setting in that electing an elderly institutionalist meant that he wasn’t filled with enough fight, that he was guided by a sort of geriatricBiden’sgentility.recent wins put a major dent in those perceptions and are changing how people feel about him. According to FiveThirtyEight’s poll of polls, his approval rating, while still underwater, has been trending up for the past month. This week it reached 44%, the highest it has been in a year. It is the direction of the line that is most important in politics. And I believe that Biden’s reversal will bode well for other Democrats. Some of what is helping Biden is not his success but that of Republicans. The overturning of Roe v. Wade was monumental and is still stuck in voters’ minds. Many feel they are stuck in a nightmare and Democrats hold the only possibility of salvation. This decision, this victory by the forced-birth zealots, wiped out the progress Republicans were making by pushing the anti-wokeness canard — this idea that they had to fight back against racial indoctrination, against people who would redefine what a woman is and against health regulation.

POR CYBERNEWS L a Cámara de Mercadeo, Industria y Dis tribución de Alimentos en Puerto Rico (MIDA) expuso ayer miércoles que no se tomó en consideración a los detallistas en el recién anunciado aumento de la leche. “MIDA quiere aclarar que a los detallistas no les proveyó espacio para ajustar su ganan cia. Injustamente se les mantuvo en 10 centa vos como han estado por los pasados 15 años. Hace unos meses se les otorgó un aumento a los ganaderos y ahora se permitió a los ela boradores aumentar según lo entiendan, pero repetimos, no al detallista. No hay duda que todos los eslabones han sufrido aumentos en sus costos y que algún aumento es justificado para todos pero es injusto culpar al último es labón de la cadena cuyo margen se ha reduci do porcentualmente por los pasados 15 años”, enfatizó la presidenta de MIDA, Joeyleen Qui ñones en declaraciones escritas. “Sobre las expresiones del Secretario de que le corresponde al comerciante negociar, respondemos que no existen las condiciones para ello al haber mantenido la ganancia del detallista congelada por 15 años lo que en realidad ha sido una reducción continua si lo miramos porcentualmente”, añadió el Vice presidente Ejecutivo de MIDA, el licenciado Manuel Reyes Alfonso. “Es decir, no importa lo que trate de ne gociar el detallista, se queda con 10 centavos. Esto hace evidente que el gobierno es incapaz de regular adecuadamente precios. Preferimos el libre mercado, aunque podemos entender la necesidad de regular donde no existe su ficiente competencia. Sin embargo, aquí se desregula precisamente donde existe menos competencia y se mantiene la regulación don de existe la mayor competencia, a nivel de los detallistas.

Y claro, para subir el costo no para bajarlo. Nuestra recomendación siempre ha sido que el rol del gobierno debe ser asegurarse y regular que exista competen cia y entonces, dejar al mercado determinar los precios de manera más eficiente y conti nua.

Excluidos los detallistas de la decisión de aumento en la leche

La apertura de este servicio representa el compromi so de la institución contra el discrimen, tal y como lo exigen las leyes federales que persiguen la inclusión en un ambiente de respeto y seguridad.

Carolina es de todas y todos, por lo que continuaremos reforzando acciones concretas que tenga como meta la inclusión y la equidad. Con esto continuamos fomentan do el respeto a la diversidad y creando un ambiente sa ludable para el estudiantado y su desarrollo académico.

In response to an email, a Bell spokesperson said, “We will not be res ponding to any further questions on this matter.” LaFlamme could not immediately be reached for comment. Bibic’s post did not quell the growing anger over LaFlamme’s departure.

The dismissal of LaFlamme, who was most likely one of the newsroom’s highestpaid employees, followed a torrent of la yoffs and budget cuts at CTV’s network and local news operations over the past seven years, which were made despite government assistance to news organiza tions. As in the United States, the internet and years of collapsing advertising reve nue have left many Canadian news orga nizations in dire financial straits. The exe cutive put on leave, Michael Melling, had overseen recent layoffs and cuts at CTV.

LaFlamme said it was “crushing to be leaving CTV National News in a manner that is not my choice.” In the two weeks since she posted the video online, LaFlamme, 58, has ins pired a huge wave of support, with many women speaking out about their own difficult experiences in the workplace.

In its initial statement about La Flamme, Bell Media said its decision had been driven by “changing viewer habits,” without offering further details. In a sub sequent statement, the company said that CTV “regrets that the way in which the news of her departure has been commu nicated may have left viewers with the wrong impression about how CTV regards Lisa.”

“Women were scared to see that, and also angry, because it’s a fear that we all have,” she said. Many women, she said, are asking, “Wow, if this could happen to her, how could it not happen to me in my low-profile job?”

By ALAN YUHAS From a makeshift studio and with a news anchor’s measured tones, one of Canada’s most familiar faces shoc ked viewers, created a public relations di saster at a national broadcaster and set off intense conversations about how emplo yers treat women as they age.

‘Not my choice.’ A TV anchor is ousted, and viewers ask: Was sexism to blame?

Over the weekend, a former prime minister, Kim Campbell, joined singers Sarah McLachlan and Anne Murray and other high-profile Canadians in condem ning the dismissal, saying Bell had “confir med one sad truth: Even after all the pro gress women have made, they continue to face sexism and ageism at work every day.”

Although some speculated that LaFlamme’s dismissal was tied to the fi nancial crisis in journalism, most conver sations centered on a deeply rooted pro blem that extends far beyond the news industry: sexism. Many journalists and viewers noted that two male longtime an chors before LaFlamme, one at CTV and one at another major broadcaster, were able to retire at 69 and 77 and that both were able to offer their farewells on-air.

“The media landscape has obviously been pretty turbulent in previous years: We’ve seen quite a lot of firing and repla cing of anchors and anchor teams,” said Sylvia Fuller, a sociologist at the University of British Columbia who studies inequa lity in the labor market. “But nobody of that stature, and nobody of that stature in a way that the departure has not been highlyAmandamanaged.”Watson, a sociologist at Simon Fraser University who studies me dia, said LaFlamme’s dismissal resonated with many people because it spoke to the problem of economic precarity — the risk of losing a job despite significant success over a long career — and because of the anchor’s sex and age.

After a Globe and Mail report, ci ting an anonymous CTV official, said that an executive had questioned LaFlamme’s decision to stop dyeing her hair and let it go gray, Canadian branches of companies such as Wendy’s and Dove, in a gesture toward the anchor, turned their branding gray.

She did it with a polite, unexpected farewell.“Iguess this is my signoff from CTV,” news anchor Lisa LaFlamme said in a vi deo that announced the abrupt end of her 35-year career at the network. She made it clear that the decision was made by Bell Media, the company that owns CTV, and not by her.

On Friday night, Mirko Bibic, CEO of Bell Media, pushed back against the accu sations but said he would not disclose de tails of the case because of an agreement with LaFlamme.“Thenarrative has been that Lisa’s age, gender or gray hair played into the decision,” Bibic said in a statement pos ted on LinkedIn. “I am satisfied that this is not the case and wanted to make sure you heard it from me. While I would like to say more on the Bell Media decision, we are bound by a mutual separation agreement negotiated with Lisa, which we will conti nue toHehonor.”didsay that an executive, who some viewers have criticized over the dis missal, had been put on leave “effective immediately,” pending the findings of a workplace review. The review, he said, will be independent and will seek to “ad dress concerns raised regarding the wor king environment” in the newsroom.

In that statement, Wade Oosterman, the president of the company, and Karine Moses, a senior vice president, announ ced “an independent third-party internal workplace review of our newsroom.” The executives said they took “matters regar ding any discrimination very seriously and are committed to a safe, inclusive and res pectful work environment for all our em ployees, devoid of any toxic behavior.”

The video also generated a steady drumbeat of outrage over how Bell Me dia treated LaFlamme, a veteran journa list whose résumé includes war zone re porting, the latest national news anchor award and over a decade as chief anchor of Canada’s most-watched nightly news show.Neither LaFlamme nor Bell Media has described the specific reasons for her dismissal. But viewers, fellow journalists, former government officials and celebri ties were quick to draw their own conclu sions, accusing Bell Media of “shameful” and “shoddy” conduct, with some specu lating that factors like sexism were at work.

Some preferred focusing on the core mythos, such as Brian Vann, 53, a data analyst from Costa Mesa, Cali fornia. “His characters are so frequently warned off: ‘Don’t go there; bad things happen,’” Vann said. “But they go, with terrible results. That speaks a lot to the hu man condition: How do we just ignore the warnings?”

Cordelia Abrams, 49, a Bostonian life coach dressed as an anglerfish at the breakfast, has been attending these events for almost a decade. “This is weird and literary and local,” she said. Although the event was Lovecraft-centric in its 1990s iteration, it has broadened since a 2013 reboot under the aegis of the nonprofit Lovecraft Arts & Sciences Council and is now subtitled “the international festival of weird fiction, art and academia.” Which, of course, poses this question: What does weird even mean when swaths of the mainstream have a slipping grip on reality? A large number of folks, after all, falsely believe that satanic pedophiles operated out of a pizzeria.At the “Welcome to the New Weird” panel, the editor and publisher Ann VanderMeer, one of the festival’s guests of honor, posited that “the weird is a way to connect with the world around us and make sense of it.” Most people I met or

A festival that conjures the strange magic of HP Lovecraft

“I must confess myself among those who always trusted that a coven of sexless black-robed liches would change the world for the better,” said Goodfellow, who had flown in from the netherworld known as San Diego, California. “But the malignant forces of misplaced moral ity have regrouped from the backlash that stopped them in the ’80s, and the relash is in full swing.”

The conference, which took place Aug. 18 to Aug. 21 in Providence, Rhode Island, for the first time since 2019, is named after Lovecraft’s hometown and anoth er of his literary inventions — a grimoire so dangerous that those who read it meet ghastly ends. (The biannual convention takes place around his birthday; he was born Aug. 20, 1890.)

By ELISABETH VINCENTELLI T here’s bacon and eggs, and then there’s bacon and eggs at the Cthulhu Prayer Breakfast. Named after the cosmically malevolent and abundantly tenta cled entity dreamed up by Howard Phillips Lovecraft, the event, among the most popular at NecronomiCon Provi dence 2022, filled a vast hotel ballroom at 8 a.m. on a recentToSunday.thedelighted worshippers, Cody Goodfellow, here a Most Exalted Hierophant, delivered a sermon that started with growled mentions of “doom-engines, black and red,” “great hammers of the scouring” and so on. Then the speech took a left turn.

heard speak over the weekend agreed there was a common element of unease and unsettlement, which explains the pan els dedicated to simpatico artists such as Clive Barker, David Cronenberg and J.G. Ballard. What was striking was how many of the participants have worked through the problem of Lovecraft himself to re purpose the basic tropes in his fiction. They are appropriat ing its overarching themes — the powerlessness of humanity against great, unknowable forces — and turning the weird into an instrument of self-exploration, liberation and creativity. “What really brought me here is the fact that I love hor ror,” said Zin E. Rocklyn, a 38-year-old queer Black writer from Florida who was on three panels. “I love the catharsis that it brings, the truth that it brings. An incredible imagina tion came up with some really shady garbage,” she added, using a stronger word to describe Lovecraft’s views. “It’s based in ignorance and fear, but it taps into a universal fear. Being able to examine that and talk about that and ex pand on that is a great example of what you can do with such an ignorant business.” Besides academic papers, the convention offered an abundance of panels sharing a dark sensibility: “Not Just Three Acts: Narrative Structure and the Weird”, “Out of the Shadows: A History of the Queer Weird” and “The Horizon Is Still Way Beyond You: Zora Neale Hurston’s Life and Legacy.” For the last session, the panelists some how wrangled an interesting 75 minutes out of Hurston’s and Lovecraft’s irreconcilable differences — contrasting, for example, her searching curiosity about other people with hisAmongbigotry.the most eye- and mind-opening pan els was the one on body horror, which, for you liter ary fiction folks, included a reminder that the subgenre encompasses classics such as “Frankenstein” and “The Metamorphosis.” That panel felt pointed at a time when control over one’s body is being hotly debated in issues relating to transgender lives and abortion.

Lovecraft himself might have been surprised to see his work bringing together such an inquisitive, welcoming con gregation. But to Goodfellow, 53, the conference is a good antidote to the nihilism ravaging parts of America.

And so it went, with delicious jabs at incel culture (of which, one might argue, Lovecraft was a proto-mem ber) and plutocrats.

According to Niels Hobbs, the “arch director” of the convention and a marine biologist at the University of Rhode Island (he was on the “Under the Sea: Hor rors of the Deep Ocean” panel), this year’s edition drew about 200 guest panelists, artists and reading authors; more than 100 volunteer staff members and “minions”; and 1,400 attendees. (Absent from the official proceed ings was preeminent Lovecraft expert S.T. Joshi, who lat er wrote in an email that he had been at NecronomiCon but “kept a low profile.”)

Attendees of NecronomiCon Providence at the Graduate Ho tel, Rhode Island, on Aug 20, 2022. At the Graduate Hotel people attended panels on topics like “A History of the Queer Weird,” as well as film screenings, readings and concerts.

In comparison to commercial enterprises such as Comic Con, Providence had no Hollywood presence and only an infinitesimal amount of cosplay. The one big event that involved dressing up, the Eldritch Ball, had a theme, “Masque of the Red Death,” that freed up the imagi nation rather than constricted it to trademarked characters — instead of, say, Darth Vader, there was a woman dressed as Persephone, queen of the underworld, and a tuxedoed man in what looked like a green crochet Cthulhu mask. Revelers slow dancing to murder ballads was a sight to behold.

The problem is that Lovecraft was a deeply racist and xenophobic man. How we deal with the legacy of a decidedly unsavory person is an issue of great politi cal and cultural relevance nowadays, and the event has tackled it not by retreating or trying to defend the in defensible but by opening up its programming and the range of people invited to participate.

“Instead of rooting for the apocalypse, we’re rooting for sustainability and for people to radically accept each other as who we are and all move forward together,” he said. “It’s a wonderfully ironic backhanded way of finding positivity in absolute negativity.”

A complex combination of genetic and environmental factors can contribute to depression. People who endure a traumatic event, or go through a major life change, are at higher risk for developing depression; so are people who have family members with depression. Burnout itself can also be a risk factor for depression, Neal-Barnett said.

In the meantime, start small and simple. If you tell yourself you’re going on a ﬁ ve-minute walk, you’ll probably end up walking for longer than that, Gold said. “But it’s hard when you’re exhausted and sad to make yourself do anything.” Getting out of the house won’t alleviate all your symptoms, but any kind of movement can help you feel a bit better, she said.

You can write down coping mechanisms that have been helpful for you — calling a friend or going for a quick run — and keep the list on your desk or on your dresser for when you need them. Pay attention to what works for you, Gold said. “If you don’t like mindfulness, don’t force it,” she said. “Do the things that actually help you feel better in the moments when you feel bad.”

What to do if you think you are burned out Taking a mental health day or a “sad day” off work, if you’re able to, can offer a reprieve from your symptoms. If you feel constantly burned out, you might want to consider a career change — which is easier said than done, Gold acknowledged. “Being able to say, ‘This is a bad workplace, that’s it, I quit,’ is a privilege beyond privilege,” she said. There are smaller ways to set boundaries, like turning off noti fi cations from your work email or Slack at certain hours. If there’s one meeting you consistently dread, try to block off fi ve or 10 minutes right after to do something that can help you relax, Gold suggested. “Being able to have some control is a preventer from burnout,” she said. You can also try to accentuate the elements of your job that you fi nd meaningful. Maybe that means mentoring a more junior colleague, Gold said, or offering to hand off responsibilities you enjoy less to a co-worker in favor of helping them with a project you’re more interested Exercisein. can help relieve work-related tension, as can carving out even a few minutes to decompress — without your phone, Bennett said. “If you sit on a computer for your job, and then you’re on your phone while you’re commuting, and then you come home and watch whatever Net fl ix series you’re into — all of that is stimulation,” she said. Your brain needs a break so that it can help buffer against stress — which means stepping away from screens, but also giving yourself a few moments of quiet, sitting with your thoughts, without distractions.

: I’m tired all the time and feel unproductive at work. How do I know if I’m depressed or burned out? The exhaustion, when it hits, is all-consuming. Your inbox chimes and you want to ﬂ ing your phone across the room. You’re sick of your apartment; you can’t stand to leave your apartment. You fumble for the right word: You tell friends you are tired or fried or just done. How do you know if this wave of weariness signals a case of burnout or full-blown depression? We asked experts for ways to tell the difference between the two, and how to alleviate the symptoms of both. What’s the difference between burnout and depression?

A key differentiator is that burnout gets better when you step away from work, said Dr. Rebecca Brendel, president of the American Psychiatric Association. When you take vacation time, or a mental health day, you feel at least slightly recharged. Depression doesn’t go away if you change your circumstances. “There’s not that bounceback effect,” she said. “It takes more than that.”

If you are struggling to cope with burnout, consider speaking with a mental health professional.

Clinicians and researchers offer advice on how to tell the difference between depression and burnout, and what to do about both.

The concept of burnout comes from workplace psychology, said Angela Neal-Barnett, a psychology professor at Kent State University and author of “Soothe Your Nerves: The Black Woman’s Guide to Understanding and Overcoming Anxiety, Panic and Fear.” Typically, therapists associate burnout with work, although researchers are also studying parental burnout, when caregivers feel chronically exhausted. Burnout has become pervasive in the cultural lexicon, especially during the pandemic. On TikTok, the trend of “quiet quitting,” or doing the bare minimum at a job, has gone viral, as people share stories about feeling burned out by long hours and a punishing “hustleWorkersculture.”can become burned out when they feel like they don’t have control over their day-to-day lives, getting bogged down in the minutiae of their tasks. People who are burned out may feel depleted and cynical about their jobs; they can resent their assignments and co-workers. They might feel irritable and ineffective, like they just can’t get anything done. For people who interact with others in their jobs, like health care workers or people in the retail and service industries, they might start to lose empathy, thinking of patients or customers as just another number or a rote task to complete. There are also a litany of physical symptoms that can come with the unending stress of burnout: insomnia, headaches, gastrointestinal issues.The World Health Organization includes burnout in the International Classiﬁ cation of Diseases, its diagnostic manual, characterizing it as an “occupational phenomenon,” not a medical condition. Depression, however, is a clinical diagnosis. People with depression often experience anhedonia, the inability to enjoy activities they once treasured. “You can be reading a book you used to love and now you hate it,” said Dr. Jessi Gold, a psychiatrist at Washington University in St. Louis. “Or you love watching Bravo, but now it doesn’t make you laugh anymore.” With burnout, you might not have energy for your hobbies; with depression, you might not ﬁ nd them fun or pleasant at all, said Jeanette M. Bennett, an associate professor who studies the effects of stress on health at the University of North Carolina atAswithCharlotte.burnout, people with depression may sleep too much or too little, and may struggle to focus. People with depression may isolate themselves from others; they may feel like it takes a lot of energy to shower or eat. Depression can induce an overwhelming sense of sadness and hopelessness. In severe cases, people with depression may start having thoughts that they are worthless or that life is not worth living. These symptoms tend to last for at least two weeks, Gold and Neal-Barnett said.

How can I tell if I’m depressed or burned out?

And you can experience burnout and depression at the same time. “Given the effects of COVID, given racism as a public health crisis in this country, it’s important for us to be watchful of that combination,” Neal-Barnett said.

The study, published in Nature Climate Change, fo cuses on what researchers call “committed” sea-level rise, a measure that takes into account the warming that has alreadyThatoccurred.approach differs from most earlier research, which has been based on computer modeling and has generally predicted much lower losses of ice from the Greenland ice sheet. The latest assessment from the Unit ed Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, for example, projects somewhere between 2 and 5 inches of sea-level rise by 2100.

The approach is “more grounded in what has al ready happened” than past ice sheet modeling, and it takes us beyond what has already been done before, said John Walsh, chief scientist at the University of Alaska Fair banks, who was not involved with the study.

The 10-inch increase forecast in the new study, which does not give a timeline, could be much higher if temperatures continue to rise, as they almost certainly will, said Jason Box, a glaciologist at the Geological Sur vey of Denmark and Greenland who was the paper’s lead author.Box said computer modeling typically used by glaci ologists so far was “not up to the task” of representing how rapidly ice sheets are melting. His team’s research instead studied satellite measurements taken between 2000 and 2019.In the new study, researchers examined what is known as the climactic snow line, or the boundary be tween a snow-covered and snow-free surface, on the ice sheet. The line fluctuates every year in response to cooler or warmer temperatures, and when one area grows larger than the other, the ice sheet moves away from “equilib rium.” In a high-melt year, the snow line is pushed farther up the ice sheet, which means the area that accumulates snow is smaller, resulting in a smaller ice sheet.

The major issue with the new study is the lack of a time horizon attached to the predictions, said Sophie No wicki, an ice sheet expert in the University at Buffalo’s ge ology department who was not involved in the research.

Do you get that number by 2100, she wrote in an email, “or in thousands and thousands of years?”

A good analogy for the study, she wrote, is the typi cal growth and weight charts you might see when you take your children to the doctor for a checkup. The charts give you an indication of how tall your child may possi bly become, but they are not good at predicting a growth spurt or the precise timing of the growth.

The conclusions indicate that even the most con servative estimate of melting ice could have dangerous human effects, Walsh said. Although 10 inches may not seem like much on average, the sea level does not rise equally everywhere. Some regions, especially lower-lying coastal areas, could be hit with disproportionately devas tating flooding. iceberg in Baffin Bay near Pituffik, Greenland, in July. research forecasts more dire sea-level rise as Greenland’s ice melts

The melting of the Greenland ice sheet could eventu ally raise global sea levels by at least 10 inches even if humans immediately stop burning the fossil fuels that are warming the planet to dangerous levels, accord ing to a new study published Monday.

Salt and freshly ground black pepper 2 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons unsalted butter 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (from 1 to 2 ears; see Tip) 1/2 cup torn basil leaves Lime wedges, for serving 2 scallions, thinly sliced, for serving

4Ingredients:skinless,boneless chicken thighs (about 1 1/4 pounds)

By MELISSA CLARK Because of my daughter’s braces, our family’s summer corn-on-thecob-palooza has been temporarily nixed. Corn is still on the menu — thank goodness — but the kernels need to be cut off the cob, lest any gnawing ravage the delicate infrastructure of modern ortho dontics.The upside to all this is that my corn kernel repertory has expanded beyond sal ads, creamed corn and cornbread. In this speedy one-pan recipe, I’ve paired the kernels with boneless, skinless chicken thighs seasoned with brown but ter, basil and a squeeze of fresh lime for a dish that’s rich and sweet, tangy and herby, and a friend to braces-wearers and their corn-loving companions. (It’s also great for anyone looking for something easy to make for dinner on any summer night.)

Skillet chicken thighs with brown butter corn

Tip: The least messy way to cut the kernels off an ear of corn is to lay the ear flat on a cutting board and slice off the ker nels, turning the cob as you go. Keeping it flat helps prevent the kernels from flying all over the kitchen. one-pan chicken recipe has a trick up its sleeve

This weeknight-friendly recipe pairs sweet corn kernels with sautéed boneless chicken thighs. Easily made in one large skillet, the chicken is cooked first before the corn kernels are added to sauté in the drippings, seasoned with garlic, thyme and plenty of brown butter. Finished with torn basil, lime juice and scallions, it walks the line between rich and sweet, and tangy and fresh — all in under 30 minutes.

3. Over medium heat, add remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the foam sub sides and it smells nutty and toasty, 2 to 3 minutes. (Watch carefully to see that it doesn’t burn.) Add corn and a big pinch of salt and black pepper. Sauté until tender and golden brown, 2 minutes.

Yield: 4 servings

For those who prefer chicken breasts, if you’re wondering whether you can sub stitute them for thighs, the answer is yes. White meat has a narrower margin of er ror than dark meat; overshooting by even a minute can dry it out. Sear them lightly and make sure not to overcook them at the end.Feel free to add other quick-cooking vegetables to the pan along with the corn.

The fastest and least messy method I’ve found for cutting the kernels off a corncob is to lay the ear flat on a cutting board, then slice off the kernels, turning as you cut. Keeping the ear in contact with the board prevents kernels from flying all over your kitchen as they would if you stood the ear up in a bowl. Using a long knife with a thin blade also helps. You’ll need about 1 1/2 to 2 ears of corn to yield enough kernels for this recipe. Or you can use frozen corn. You don’t even need to defrost the kernels first; they’ll thaw in under a minute once they hit the sizzling mix of butter and chicken drippings in the bottom of the pan.

A handful of baby spinach, some slivered zucchini or any cubed ripe tomatoes wilt ing on your counter are especially wel come. Just add a little extra salt and lime juice to Youtaste.won’t need much to round this out — maybe a lettuce or cucumber salad, and perhaps a loaf of bread. But nothing too hard and crusty, at least if there’s a braces-wearer at the table that night.

Preparation:1.Season chicken all over with salt and pepper. Rub garlic and thyme on chicken and set aside while preparing the rest of the ingredients.

4. Add chicken back to the skillet. Cover and cook until chicken is cooked through and corn is caramelized, about 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and taste corn, adding more salt and pepper if needed. Stir in basil and squeeze 2 lime wedges over the top. Serve garnished with sliced scallions and more lime wedges.

2. Heat a large skillet over mediumhigh. Add oil and 1 tablespoon of the but ter, letting butter melt. Add chicken and sear, undisturbed, until browned on both sides, about 4 to 6 minutes per side. Trans fer chicken to a plate.

“I just have to chill a little bit,” Osaka said while the loss was still raw. “There’s a lot of random chaos in my head right now.” She paused a slow walk off the court and an early departure from the tourna ment to sign some courtside autographs. Then it was over, and the tournament spotlight was back on Williams once more.

By MATTHEW FUTTHERMAN Alittle more than 24 hours had passed since Serena Williams captivated Ar thur Ashe Stadium with her openinground triumph and bedazzled tennis dress, wrap and hair, and now it was Naomi Osa ka’s Aturn.year ago, with Williams sidelined with a hamstring injury, Osaka had brought so much heat to the U.S. Open, even before her third-round loss led her to announce that she needed to step away from tennis because it brought her so little joy and so much sadness, even if the sport had allowed her to eclipse Williams as the highest-paid female athlete.

“This is what makes you great, being able to win matches like this even if it’s in the first round,” Osaka said after coming up short.The loss meant a second consecutive premature exit from a tournament that once looked like it would be her grandest stage for years, and it happened despite all those con nections she embraced over the past week to the role model she still reveres, who will be back in the spotlight Wednesday night.

Venus Williams of the US plays her first round match against Alison Van Uytvanck of Belgium at the US Open in New York on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2022.

Naomi Osaka, Serena Williams and one last shared U.S. Open

Naomi Osaka in action against Danielle Collins at the U.S.Open in New York on Tuesday night, Aug. 30, 2022. Osaka lost 7-6 (5), 6-3, in a match that bled into early Wednesday morning.

“I’m a product of what she’s done,” Osa ka said Saturday in her pretournament news conference. “I wouldn’t be here without Ser ena, Venus, her whole family.” Like everything else at this tournament, Osaka’s match seemed peripheral to Serena Williams’ narrative, even if Osaka’s loss had its own significance. At the moment, Osaka is more famous than she is successful at the game that gave her stardom, which could be come a problem if those two phenomena do not align soon, and now she will have to do it without her tennis guidepost on tour with her. Since Williams delivered her intentional ly vague announcement that she would stop playing competitive tennis at some point after this U.S. Open, few players — perhaps even, few people — have taken the news as hard or tried to collect these last morsels of Williams’ professional tennis life as much as Osaka has. Sensing that end might not be far-off, Osaka cried as she watched Williams’ first match in Toronto earlier in August at the Na tional Bank Open, and she cheered Williams on during her first-round match at the West ern and Southern Open in Ohio the follow ing week.Itwas similar to how she felt after she beat Williams in the semifinals of the Austra lian Open last year, a loss that caused Wil liams to break down during her news confer ence and end it after just a few questions. At the time, Osaka sensed that was the last time that Williams was going to play in Australia. Assuming Williams keeps her word, Osaka’s intuition will have aged well once more. The morning after the first-round To ronto match, Williams’ announcement in Vogue that the end was imminent hit Osaka hard.“I’m like, ‘Oh, my God,’ this is what dev astation must feel like,” Osaka said of what she felt as she read the news. “It really is an honor just to keep watching her play.” They played each other five times. Osa ka won three of the matches, most memo rably the 2018 U.S. Open final, when an overmatched Williams was penalized for receiving coaching and ended up in an ugly dispute with the chair umpire, Carlos Ramos. Osaka ended up in tears during the trophy ceremony as the crowd howled at the out come. That was the first of Osaka’s four Grand Slam singles titles. It was the second of the four finals that Williams lost while on the precipice of tying Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam singles championships. Williams has not won any Grand Slam singles titles since then. Osaka has won three more, including the 2020 U.S. Open, and was on the cusp of taking the torch from Wil liams and full control of the sport until her struggles with mental health prevented her from playing all but a few matches during the last six months of 2021. This April, she made the final of the Mi ami Open, her best result since her come back began in January, but battled an Achilles tendon injury that derailed her preparation for the French Open and forced her to pull out ofAfterWimbledon.afewhard-fought losses this sum mer, Osaka badly wanted to play into the later rounds of the U.S. Open, and she came out on fire, lacing serves and forehands and dig ging balls out of the corners as she sprinted to a 3-0 lead, looking like the Osaka of two years ago. But Collins quickly matched every ounce of Osaka’s power and proved just a little bit sharper, and maybe a bit luckier in the crucial first-set tiebreaker. She floated a desperate lob that caught the back of the baseline and knuckled a mis-hit service re turn that Osaka could not handle to clinch the set.Inthe second set, Osaka took another early lead only to succumb to another rush from Collins, as her forehand grew a little too loose on a night with so little margin for error. Collins gambled with big swings that paid off more often than not, and more often than Osaka’s gambles did. With Col lins serving for the match, Osaka had two shots to get back on serve but couldn’t find the winners she needed and sent a back hand long to give Collins the match.

Now, for what she says is the last time, Williams is back, and once more, these two megastars that transcend their sport are connected, just as they have been since a fireworks-filled final at Ashe four years ago evolved into both a torch-passing and a mo ment that has linked them through their ca reers.Osaka, who lost to 19th-seeded Danielle Collins, 7-6 (5), 6-3, in a match that bled into early Wednesday, is struggling to get out of a prolonged slump as she battles nagging inju ries and could not reclaim her magic the way that Williams did Monday night.

Isabella Escribano, left, with her brothers Marco Escribano, center, and Anthony Lizarraga. They work together on a W.N.B.A.-themed clothing brand called Break the Curse.

At the time, only two shirts were made, and they were samples. One was shipped to Paul overnight, but it never made it to him, somehow lost in the de livery process. So the brothers washed the other one — which they had planned to keep for themselves — and shipped it to Paul, who wore it to Game 5 of the series.“I just was like: ‘We’ll just send him this, bro. Spray some cologne on it and just let it go,’” Marco Escribano said while laughing. “It’s crazy that Chris Paul was wearing our shirt.”

Thomas, the Sun guard, remem bered meeting Escribano years ago after a game, so when she found that “little Isabella” was behind the Griner design, she felt more inclined to support the brand. “I’m just super proud of Isabella for being able to understand how impor tant her platform is and using it at such a young age,” Thomas said. “That’s ex actly what we want to see from young girls, and she’s really a role model and a leader in so many ways.” But as the brand grows, Escribano’s primary focus is still on playing basket ball and making it to the WNBA. When she’s not creating designs, she spends most of her time in the gym, where she trains with Phil Handy, a Los Angeles Lakers assistant coach, among others. She said she would keep the brand go ing as long as she had a passion for it.

Curse and Wasserman, the agency that represents Griner, split the manufactur ing costs ($75 for the T-shirts, $80 for the sweatshirts) and share some of the ship pingBreakcosts.the Curse also sells the T-shirt for $120 and the sweatshirt for $150 on its website. The proceeds are used to cover the company’s portion of the pro duction and shipping costs for the cloth ing sent to WNBA players and others.

The front of the design, seen on hoodies and T-shirts, features a smiling Griner in her Mercury jersey with a bas ketball that reads “WEAREBG” — the phrase that has become the rallying cry in the public campaign for her release. Griner’s jersey number, 42, is wrapped around the left side, and on the back, her first and last name are printed in capital letters. “I wanted to make sure that the shirt meant something,” Isabella Escribano said. “Like, when you see it, it’s some thing big. It’s basically a statement.” She added: “What we want to do is start a conversation, like whoever wears it is supporting her, basically saying, ‘Free BrittneySydneyGriner.’”Bordonaro, who styles out fits for several WNBA players, including Las Vegas Aces guards Kelsey Plum and Chelsea Gray, said the distinctive look of the Griner clothing made it attractive. “It’s just super fly,” Bordonaro said. “Like, you could wear it out to the club or to an event. It’s not like it’s a jersey or, you know, just a corny T-shirt.” Connecticut Sun point guard Jas mine Thomas packs the T-shirt or hoodie for every game. Having Griner’s face on the front gives the items an intense and emotional aspect that makes them stand out, she said.

The quick turnarounds for some re quests have been a challenge, like when Phoenix Suns guard Chris Paul wanted a shirt during his team’s playoff matchup with the Dallas Mavericks in May.

Escribano’s celebrity has drawn athletes and others to the brand. Her YouTube videos show off the tight handle and shifty moves that earned her the moniker Jiggy. She has a larger so cial media following than some WNBA players, and many professional men’s and women’s basketball players have followed her journey since she was 10 yearsUtahold. Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson wore her first-ever design — a Chicago Sky-themed hoodie — last year, and Chance the Rapper wore it onstage at a concert. Plum, the Aces guard, wore an unreleased jacket that Escribano worked on for four months to Game 2 of Las Vegas’ playoff series against Phoenix this month. The jacket featured differ ent WNBA team logos and had “STOP WNBA HATE” in red on the interior.

About 250 total T-shirts and sweatshirts have been sold; that hasn’t been enough yet to cover Break The Curse’s costs, but having players wearing the design has increased the website’s traffic sig nificantly and led to other merchandise sales, Marco Escribano said.

By KRIS Rhim F or more hours now than she can remember, Isabella Escribano sat on the orange couch inside her ga rage, iPad in hand, crafting clothing de signs that she hoped would aid one of her favorite basketball players. That player, Phoenix Mercury center Brittney Griner, was arrested in Russia in February after customs officials said they found hashish oil, a cannabis de rivative, in her luggage at an airport near Moscow. In May, the U.S. government said that Griner had been wrongfully de tained, but on Aug. 4 she was convicted on a drug charge in Russia and sen tenced to nine years in a penal colony. She has appealed her conviction. Griner’s agent, Lindsay Kagawa Co las, reached out to Escribano in March to collaborate on apparel that she hoped WNBA players would wear to bring awareness to Griner’s situation. Kagawa Colas said she had chosen Escribano for two reasons: Escribano, 14, is a popu lar girls’ basketball player with over 100,000 Instagram followers, and she has her own clothing brand of WNBA streetwear called Break The Curse. Escribano, who is in the eighth grade, said she “wanted to make the shirt for Brittney Griner as loud as possible.” Operating from the garage at her parents’ home in Santa Clarita, Califor nia, Escribano and her older brothers, Marco Escribano and Anthony Lizar raga, landed on a colorful design that has been sported by players across the WNBA this season.

“I think for someone that’s not even a WNBA fan, they automatically see her face, and then if they don’t already know what’s going on, they research B.G. to get to know her, what she’s about, who she is, why she’s so important and why she needs to come home,” Thomas said.

Marco Escribano, 24, said 215 Tshirts and sweatshirts had been sent to WNBA players, other professional ath letes and coaches for free. Break the

None of the family had experience in manufacturing clothing before last year, and Marco Escribano said they learned new aspects of the fashion industry with everyIsabelladesign.

“It’s the big dance,” said Peter Holm berg, an Olympic silver medalist and the helmsman of Topaz, a J-Class yacht. “Ev erybody goes to it, and so it will give us the greatest competition of all the events we’ll do in the Med over the year. If you’re going to put one on your list, it’s usually [the] Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup. And is that the draw? Of course it is.” Then there are the racecourses.

The regatta offers two styles of racing.

Anthony Kotoun, a five-time world champion sailor and the strategist aboard Galateia, a Wally Cento, described the re gatta as the Masters for maxi yachts. “It is called the Maxi yacht cup, but in the lingo, it’s called just the Maxi Worlds,” he said, adding that it is the unofficial world championship of the big boats. “You save sails for it, you get new sails for it, you bring in the top crew — that’s the one you aim Onefor.” important difference between the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup and other worldchampionship regattas is that this event al ways takes place off Porto Cervo in early September, while the others typically ro tate among clubs, continents and calendar dates.The regatta’s consistent scheduling and location also make it an important social gathering. “It is a bit of a homecoming event,” Westlake said. While the yachts, the sailors and the racecourses are a significant draw, so too, say veterans, is the Yacht Club Costa Smer alda.“The whole show is a level beyond any other event you go to,” Holmberg said. “YCCS — they set the mark. They are the standard, the highest that I’ve seen around the world” because of its extraordinary amenities and the professionals it brings in to help run the regatta. Edoardo Recchi, the club’s secretary general and sports director, called the regatta the club’s signature event. While Recchi was clear that the regatta’s condi tions, courses and competition level are its most important attributes, he noted that having a “high level of services and a lot of details is pretty attractive to all the owners,” about 90% of whom return eachInyear.addition to the racing, the yacht club organizes post-sailing and evening social events. This includes Saturday’s ceremony, where the winners of each class receive Rolex watches.

The allure of the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup

“Every single owner that enters the [regatta], for sure, is dreaming of being handed a Rolex,” Westlake said. “You never see a bigger smile on an owner’s face [than] when he stands on the podi um holding onto that Rolex.”

“It makes the racecourse much more open for the tacticians and strategists,” he said, adding that there are numerous places where yachts can hit the bottom. “Every one is trying to cut the corners and push as hard as they Recordatican.”said the regatta attracted some of the best sailors in the world. He said that the loads — or forces — generat ed by the maxi yachts demanded expertise. “They are pretty high-tech pieces of ma chinery, which — if they break or are not run properly — can not only be economi cally damaging, but it can be very danger ous for the crew.”

The longer coastal races instead em ploy the area’s natural geographical fea tures, including the nearby Maddalena archipelago, to create courses that require teams to sail fast at a variety of wind angles. “Coastal racing is more interesting,” Holmberg said. “It’s more diverse, com plex,Thesechallenging.”challenges include the art of pre dicting what the still-unseen wind will be doing around the islands, anticipating how this will affect tactics and ensuring that the yacht is flying the right sails.

“We do a week of really beautiful and good sailing,” Piana said, referring to the regatta. “You can be 100% satisfied if you have good weather, good wind, good people, good food. During the race, after the race, there’s always something nice to enjoy.”Andrea Recordati, the owner of Bullitt, a Wally 93, said it was the most prestigious race on the Mediterranean circuit. He said that other maxi-class regattas might draw, on average, six or seven yachts that are his competitive peers. “Here you could have 15, if not even 20,” Recordati said.While their designs differ, each yacht in the Maxi cup has a handicap rating (think of golf) that allows vessels of different lengths, widths and weights to race competitively.

While there are easier ways of ac quiring a Rolex than winning the regatta, none involve seeing one’s name topping the leaderboard outside the yacht club.

BY DAVID SCHMIDT T here is no shortage of beautiful sail ing regattas. Few offer the same com bination of world-class sailors and yachts, outstanding geography and condi tions, professional racecourse management and refined yacht club hospitality as the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup. Most high-end regattas typically draw boats in the 20-, 30- and 40-foot range, with limited numbers of larger yachts, or the events are organized for a particular de sign, like for the 23-foot J/70s, in which all competing boats are identical. Not here. The Maxi cup, which is being hosted by the Yacht Club Costa Smeralda and which begins on Monday in Porto Cer vo, Sardinia, is open only to maxi yachts. According to the regatta’s Notice of Race, this means sailboats that measure at least 60 feet, bow to stern. Of the 50 yachts that are competing this year, almost half exceed 80 feet, with the largest entry — the J-Class yacht Svea — measuring 143 feet. These are fast, expensive and com plex sailboats — with an average crew size of 25 sailors — which will race against similar yachts around tactically engaging racecourses. Veterans say the regatta’s de pendable weather patterns, convivial atmo sphere, and the yacht club’s hospitality and organization make it one of sailing’s great est events.PierLuigi Loro Piana, the owner of My Song, a Club Swan 80, described the Maxi cup as the most professional and well-or ganized regatta on the Mediterranean Sea.

The windward-leeward courses are set in open water and use movable buoys that are set parallel with the wind to test each team’s ability to sail upwind, or into the wind, and downwind, or with the wind.

“Windward-leeward is a sprint, and

Paul Westlake, a 10-time world cham pion sailor and the trim coordinator on Svea, said racing a “coastal course is a pretty stressful time for navigators.”

The Maddalena archipelago off Sardinia is just one geographic feature factoring into longer coastal races of the Maxi Yacht Rolex Cup.

The San Juan Daily StarThursday, September 1, 202236

“For me, the Maxi is the race to win, full stop,” said Recordati, who has never won a watch but missed winning his class at the 2011 event by just two points. Of the coastal inshore races, he said, it’s “the one that everybody wants to win.”

The yachts “are relatively similar,” Piana said, “so we can make a very nice regatta.” And with a bigger fleet size comes a higher level of competition.

coastal is a marathon of many sprints,” he said.While he enjoys both styles of racing, and was clear that both have their place at the regatta, Holmberg said that if he had to choose one, it would be the coastal cours es: “It gives us the extreme range, and it tests you on all aspects.”

With lovely Venus forming a poignant tie with dreamy Neptune, it’s easy to be mesmerized by a brilliant idea. This may show up as a desire to beautify your home, even if it might be unrealistic. And yet with intense and probing inﬂuences also on the cards, the urge to look into this further could be your saving grace. Whatever you have in mind, avoid drifting into a disaster, Taurus.

With Venus involved in a fated aspect known as the ﬁnger of destiny, think about what’s in it for you before you commit.

Are you trying to decipher the signals you’re getting regarding a potential romantic bond? With loving Venus forging an uncomfortable angle to dreamy Neptune and radical Pluto, it’s no wonder you’re uncertain of someone’s motives. The Sun in your sign, encourages you not to let your emotions overwhelm you, but to detach from them, as the insights you gain may be useful.

You’re in an interesting position, as Venus in your sign makes uneasy aspects with both Neptune and Pluto. You could feel under pressure over coming days, to make a decision that changes everything. Don’t allow yourself to be pushed or cajoled into doing anything you don’t want to do. You may think a decision is small, but the repercussions can have a big effect on you, Leo.

A focused and fated blend of energies, known as the ﬁnger of destiny, puts you in the spotlight and gives you a special allure. This is a time when your personal power is at a peak, and you know how to use it to best effect. The thing is, that other people may have you in their sights as someone who it’s good to be acquainted with. Choose who you get involved with carefully.

A feeling of kindliness may show up, Gemini. You’ll be ready to assist anyone who needs your expert verdict. And if you’re in business, this might include a competitor or even someone you don’t see eyeto-eye with. Be practical too though, and make sure that any new plans or negotiations work out well for you, as well as others. Don’t short-change yourself for anyone.

With your intellect sparkling due to Mercury’s lively ties, this is a good time to showcase your knowledge by giving a presentation, teaching a class, or perhaps writing a book or pamphlet that helps others.

The allure of what you don’t have can cause you to fantasize. An ethereal Venus/Neptune link may ﬁnd you browsing the net, and losing yourself in offers and opportunities to escape from daily life. This time it pays to be careful what you wish for. Avoid daydreaming Pisces, or indulging in compulsive feelings that could drive you to excess, and you’ll escape in one piece.

Be open to absorbing new ideas, as you stand to gain a lot by doing so, Capricorn. A focus on your sector of far horizons, study and other cultures, can see you reaching out to new sources for perspectives that might help you solve a problem or see aspects of your life from a different viewpoint. Want something badly? Getting it could change your future in unexpected ways.

A relationship could have more of an impact than you imagine, even if you’re meeting someone for the first time, Aquarius. With Venus in your sector of relating, creating a finger of destiny aspect pattern, their influence on you may seem negligible, but is it? The more you connect with this person, the more you’ll realize they were meant to play a key part in your life.

Venus in your romance zone and in charismatic Leo, is forming what is known as a yod, or ﬁnger of destiny. It links to Neptune and Pluto, so if you’re looking for love, you may wonder whether to go for someone with soulmate potential or someone who has material wealth and success. If you have a great creative or business idea, your values will also be put to the test, Aries.
