The rights also apply if a long-haul flight is delayed by more than four hours, or less for shorter journeys, under the EU regulation 261/2004.Q.WHY DOES RYANAIR OBJECT TO THESE RULES?A.The regulation places the cost or caring for stranded passengers with the airline, which Ryanair argues is unfair since the airport has more control over whether flights are delayed or cancelled. Q.CAN RYANAIR SUCCEED IN CHALLENGING THIS LAW?A.EU-261 has been in force for seven years without any successful legal challenges, so it’s unlikely that Ryanair can persuade the EU to rip up the entire rulebook. In 2005, the European Court of Justice threw out a case brought by a group of low cost airlines including Ryanair that claimed the rules discriminated against budget carriers. 
Scientific Games’ high-profile executive chairman Ron Perelman is considering selling his entire 39% stake in the Las Vegas-based gaming tech supplier. AddThis Sharing ButtonsShare to LinkedInLinkedInShare to FacebookFacebookShare to TwitterTwitter Topics: Finance 16th July 2020 | By contenteditor Finance Scientific Games’ high-profile executive chairman Ron Perelman is considering selling his entire 39% stake in the Las Vegas-based gaming tech supplier.Billionaire tycoon Perelman (pictured) has issued a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission through his MacAndrews & Forbes Holdings investment vehicle in which he outlined the possibility of divesting his 36.8m shares. The value of the stake is estimated to be around $1.5bn.Perelman, 77, has a number of interests across many sectors through MacAndrews & Forbes with major investments in groups, most prominently in cosmetics giant Revlon.
Scientific Games chairman considers selling entire stake Email Address Subscribe to the iGaming newsletter The SEC filing read: “The reporting persons have determined to explore a possible sale of the common stock that the reporting persons currently hold.“As of the date of this Amendment No. 13, the reporting persons have not formulated any specific or definitive plan or proposal relating to the matters described in this paragraph, and there can be no assurance that any transaction will occur or as to the terms of any such transaction.”Perelman has upped his stake in Scientific Games over the last couple of years with a number of significant stock purchases. The group’s share price closed up 4.18% to $16.19 in New York Wednesday (15 July).The supplier saw revenue hit by the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic in the first quarter of 2020, with revenue down 13.0% year-on-year at $725m, and net loss rose to $159m for the period. This decline was caused by lower contributions from its land-based gaming and lottery businesses, though finance chief Michael Quartieri said efforts to reduce costs and strong liquidity would help the business withstand the pandemic.

Te’o is the tops Ben Te’o was in fantastic form for Leinster in their 19-16 win over the Ospreys. The Kiwi inside centre tested the Ospreys defence throughout with his powerful runs and slick offloads and was deservedly named Man of the Match.Ian Madigan and Fergus McFadden also deserve a special mention for creating a superb try for Dan Leavy, with Madigan making a break from a scrum in his own half and McFadden taking the ball on from halfway to the 22, opening up the defence for Leavy. Finishing touch: Peter Betham dives over for his try in Leicester’s win v Exeter. (Photo: Getty Images) Centre of attention: Ben Te’o had a great game at 12 for Leinster. (Photo: Inpho) Flying display Tom Homer produced a fantastic mid-air offload by to set up Semisa Rokoduguni’s try in Bath’s win over London Irish. Rhys Priestland and Matt Banahan made ground through the Exiles defence, Homer took the ball on and was heading for the right-hand corner when he was tackled, but as he flew horizontally towards the touchline he passed inside to Rokoduguni, who just had to stride over the line. It was a quite brilliant piece of work from the Bath full-back. Red-faced Scarlet Scarlets scrum-half Connor Lloyd had a win to celebrate after making his Pro12 debut off the bench against Treviso on Friday, but also made a mistake he won’t want to be reminded of too often.Receiving the ball from a lineout, the replacement scrum-half sent out a pass only to find Treviso No 8 Robert Barbieri had anticipated where the ball was going and was waiting to intercept it.The Italian international raced in for a try which put Treviso 15-14 up, but fortunately for Lloyd his Scarlets team fought back to win the game 24-15. Wonder wing Steffan Evans was the star of the show for the Scarlets in their 24-15 Guinness Pro12 win over Benetton Treviso, as he scored two tries and was named Man of the Match.It’s there! Steff Evans scores for the Scarlets in Italy. (Photo: Huw Evans Agency)For his first score, the 21-year-old wing he received the ball on the ten metre line and cut a beautiful diagonal line towards the posts, beating four defenders on the way to scoring under the sticks.That helped the Scarlets build up a 14-3 lead at half-time. Treviso then fought back and went 15-14 up before Dan Jones kicked a penalty to put the Welsh side back in front. Evans then stepped up again to score his second well-taken try, beating a huddle of defenders inside the 22 with good footwork. The win keeps the Scarlets in contention for a top-two finish. The SinnersCentre’s slip-up Scotland and Glasgow Warriors centre Mark Bennett made an uncharacteristic error in Sunday’s Guinness Pro12 clash with Cardiff Blues when he dropped the ball as he stooped to touch down for a try. Bennett was rounding off a fluent attacking move when the Warriors were already 10-0 up, but the try was quite rightly disallowed.Glasgow went on to win 27-20, but could have had a four-try bonus point if Bennett had been more careful. The Warriors are still eight points behind fourth-placed Ulster in the table and even though they have two games in hand, that bonus point would have been most welcome. Missing in action: Craig Willis pushed a vital kick wide for Newcastle Falcons. (Photo: Getty Images)Off targetThere were a few costly misses from goal-kickers in the Aviva Premiership this weekend, and none more important than Craig Willis’s conversion of Rob Vickers’ try in the last ten minutes of Newcastle Falcons’ 14-15 home defeat by Worcester Warriors on Friday.He sent the kick wide of the right-hand post, whereas if it had been on target the Falcons might have won the game against their fellow-strugglers.Fortunately for Newcastle their main rivals in the relegation battle, London Irish, lost too and didn’t even manage to grab a losing bonus point as Greig Tonks missed a conversion from wide on the right after Alex Lewington’s late try, making the final score Bath 25, London Irish 17.Jimmy Gopperth could have snatched a draw for Wasps at Gloucester but missed a drop-goal from the middle of the pitch, about 39m out, with the last kick of the game in their 13-10 defeat. Swift work Queensland Reds have sacked their coach Richard Graham after just two matches of the new Super Rugby season.Graham has been the Reds coach for three seasons and was reappointed last August after a re-structure, despite the fact Queensland had only won four games last season. To dismiss him now, so soon after the start of the new campaign, suggests the management board were split over the decision to reappoint him in the first place. Not great work by the powers that be at the Reds. TAGS: Highlight LATEST RUGBY WORLD MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION DEALS True grit: Dave Kilcoyne forces his way over for one of his two tries. (Photo: Inpho)At the doubleA tip of the hat goes to Munster prop Dave Kilcoyne who scored a brace of tries in a match for the second time in three games. He scored a double against Glasgow on 19 February and was in the right place at the right time twice again in Munster’s 26-5 win over the Dragons this weekend.Considering Kilcoyne had only averaged one Pro12 try per season in each of his previous four campaigns with Munster, this represents something of a purple patch for the Ireland prop.Connacht also deserve some words of praise for notching up their third consecutive away with in the Guinness Pro12 – something they haven’t achieved since 2002-03. The 28-23 victory at Edinburgh keeps Connacht top of the table. Shark attack Will Addison scored a scorching try for Sale Sharks in their 29-23 win over Harlequins. A fine offload from Sam James gave Addison the ball on halfway and the wing sprinted 50 metres, fighting off two tacklers in his final strides, and score under the posts to put the Sharks 26-16 up. No excuse: Toby Booth’s whinge about the weather didn’t make much sense. (Photo: Getty Images)Blame game Bath have undoubtedly had a disappointing season in the Aviva Premiership and so were delighted to get their 25-17 win over London Irish, but the post-match comments by Bath’s first team coach Toby Booth were surprising.Booth, usually someone who talks a lot of sense, blamed the weather and pitch conditions for Bath’s poor season when he was speaking on TV after the game. “Today, since Exeter on the first day of the season, is the first time we have had some really positive, neutral conditions so we can show some of the stuff we used to show,” said Booth. Hmmm. I think you’ll find both teams play in the same conditions in any one match, so if Bath have been coping less well with those conditions then surely they need to look to themselves for solutions, not just continue under-performing until the weather dries up? The SaintsSunday best Leicester Tigers and Exeter Chiefs produced a Sunday-best performance in the Aviva Premiership, with the Tigers hanging on for a 31-27 victory after leading 31-6 with half an hour to go.There were some magnificent tries, not least the one scored by Manu Tuilagi which featured marvellous approach play from Niki Goneva, Michael Fitzgerald and Peter Betham.Wing Betham scored a terrific individual try of his own and Adam Thompstone finished one which was created by a cleverly overthrown lineout close to the line on the right.Exeter played their part in a scintillating contest, with Ian Whitton also raced in for an eye-catching try. As the title races in the Aviva Premiership and the Guinness Pro12 hot up, who is in scorching form and who is getting their fingers burned? Cherry cheers: Matt Kvesic (centre) and Bill Meakes (right) thank the crowd. (Photo: Getty Images)Glorious Gloucester Wasps had only dropped three Aviva Premiership points in the last six rounds and were certainly the form side in the competition when they arrived at Kingsholm to play Gloucester on Saturday, but the Cherry and Whites ended their six-match winning run with a 13-10 victory.Bill Meakes, Jeremy Thrush and Matt Kvesic all shone for Gloucester. Meakes made 83 metres in attack – more than anyone else in this match – and beat six defenders, while Thrush and Kvesic were central to a magnificent performance from the home pack, with Kvesic out-playing George Smith at the breakdowns.
Video: ‘Standing Rock is proclaiming the good news to the whole creation’ Associate Priest for Pastoral Care New York, NY September 26, 2016 at 9:48 pm Thank you, Michael Curry. You make me proud to be an Episcopalian. You preach on the side of the angels. You remind us that if we love God, then we must love all of the created world. God bless the courageous people of Standing Rock. You serve on the front lines of the Jesus Movement. [Episcopal News Service – Cannon Ball, North Dakota] Presiding Bishop Michael Curry, preaching Sept. 25 at St. James’ Episcopal Church in Cannon Ball, North Dakota, assured the people of the Standing Rock Sioux Nation that they are not alone in their attempt to be heard about an oil pipeline slated to run under their water supply, over their treaty land and through some of their burial places.“Standing Rock is proclaiming the good news to the whole creation,” Curry said, echoing Mark’s version of Jesus commissioning his disciples to preach the gospel to all of creation. “Water is part of that creation. The land is part of that creation. None of us own it, none of us made it. It is God’s.”– The Rev. Mary Frances Schjonberg is an editor and reporter for Episcopal News Service.

Demonstrators at “Love Our Communities: Build Collective Power” rally to raise awareness of anti-Asian violence in Los Angeles, March 13.AtlantaBeginning at 5 p.m., March 16, the first horrific news of the murders of four people and the wounding of a fifth at Young’s Asian Massage in Acworth, a city in Cherokee County northwest of Atlanta, was breaking news on local TV stations. That was quickly followed around 6:00 p.m. with details of another four women killed at the Gold Spa and the Aromatherapy Spa in the Buckhead area of Atlanta.In total, six women of Asian descent, four of whom were Korean, and two white people, a man and a woman, were shot and killed. In addition, a Latinx man was wounded.A 21-year-old, white, Cherokee County man, Robert Aaron Long was captured in south Georgia a few hours later and identified as the suspect in these mass murders.As of this writing, no motive has been given by Long, but there certainly is reason to suspect racial bias as well as misogynistic beliefs to such a violent act.Asian people in Atlanta, along with communities in the rest of the country, have experienced a steep rise in incidents of verbal harassment, vandalism to homes and property and physical assaults, including deadly injuries. Targets have often been the elderly and women.Anti-Asian violence is not a new phenomenon in U.S. history. It goes back to the introduction of Chinese laborers on the construction of the railroads in the West in the 19th century. During WWII, Japanese citizens were imprisoned and their property confiscated. Hollywood has made money off movies portraying Asian men as manipulative and dishonest and women as docile and obedient.Certainly the xenophobic rhetoric of Donald Trump and his supporters — who blame China for COVID-19 and rail endlessly against the growth of that country’s economy as somehow unfair to U.S. corporations — has fueled anti-Asian hostility in recent years.Stop AAPI Hate, a nonprofit Asian American and Pacific Islander rights organization, has received over 3,800 calls citing instances of bigotry in words and actions, two-thirds of them coming from women. The selected murder of these six women shows evidence of deep-seated animosity towards women in general, but in particular to those whose services are mostly used by men. The reality of abuse towards women in their homes, on the job, at school, in the military and on the streets is truly pandemic.More information will undoubtedly come out about the personal political and religious beliefs and influences that shaped Robert Aaron Long’s views. As has been shown in the past, the omnipresence of racially biased, male dominant, class exploitative societal relations is fertile breeding ground for such violent acts.Regardless of what brought this 21-year-old man to commit this brutal, premeditated crime, the terror of it has impacted millions.Working-class solidarity is needed — not just in words of compassion and sorrow — but through actions to personally and publicly call out instances of anti-Asian, racist, sexist, homophobic and transphobic or ableist speech and actions.

As for yields, in Central Indiana the numbers look good, “The yields have been phenomenal, they may not be as high as everyone thought they were going to be, but they are very very good.” Kramer he has seen many fields yield well above 250 bpa. He said many farms will have averages around 200 bpa. Home Indiana Agriculture News Rain Delays Harvest Threatens Corn Kramer told HAT, while the harvest is on hold, growers should be checking fields to catch problems early, “Waiting is not an easy thing to do. What I would be doing is checking fields to see which crops may have some standability issues. I might also look at which fields have ear molds.” He added that he has not seen a lot of ear mold, but this kind of weather is conducive to the problem. Heavy rain and high winds have put the harvest on hold in many areas of the state, and concern is mounting about how long the corn can stand. This summer’s cooler weather and lack of growing degree days has already caused problems with stalk rot. Fred Kramer, with DuPont Pioneer, says these late season rains are causing serious disease problems, “We have stalk rot, crown rot; and now with high winds, rain, and delays, it is going to make it that much more likely for problems down the road.” Kramer, who covers several counties in Central Indiana, says about a third of the corn and soybean crops have been harvested. Hoosier Ag Today meteorologist Rob Wasson says there will be very little harvest activity taking place for the next few days, “Scattered showers will be possible, keeping fields wet with little chance of drying. This low will eventually pull out of the area on Thursday, but a few lingering showers will still be possible over northern and central Indiana. By Friday, high pressure will take over and that will give us some much needed dry weather.” Wasson sees a dry weekend, but a chance of rain returning next week, “There is better news in the extended forecast. Farmers searching for a nice period of dry weather will find it in the two week forecast with above normal temperatures and below normal rainfall statewide.” Rain Delays Harvest Threatens Corn SHARE Facebook Twitter Rain Delays Harvest Threatens Corn By Gary Truitt – Oct 14, 2014 SHARE Facebook Twitter Previous articlePlenty of Reasons for Falling Gasoline PricesNext articleMorning Outlook Gary Truitt

faithfernandez More » ShareTweetShare on Google+Pin on PinterestSend with WhatsApp,Virtual Schools PasadenaHomes Solve Community/Gov/Pub SafetyCitizen Service CenterPASADENA EVENTS & ACTIVITIES CALENDARClick here for Movie Showtimes Each day in Pasadena, the most vulnerable people in our community, including our homeless and at-risk neighbors, come to a variety of agencies and faith communities for food, shelter, protection, compassion and love. While meeting their immediate physical needs, these agencies also seek to provide hope and optimism for their clients. The hopes we work to keep alive are these: if you are homeless, one day you will have a roof over your head; if you are suffering food insecurity, one day you will no longer wonder where your next meal will come from; if you struggle to pay your rent, perhaps one day that struggle will end. But, sometimes we fear that we are feeding a false sense of hope when it comes to housing. Affordable housing, let alone permanent supportive housing, transitional housing, rapid rehousing, is so scarce here in Pasadena, that it is difficult to believe that anyone cares enough to do what it will take to provide homes for our homeless.These are the raw facts: there is only an approximately 2.4% rental-vacancy rate in Pasadena, and average monthly rent for a one-bedroom is $2300. Are permanent supportive housing projects for those who need them an option? It doesn’t appear so at this time. People are entered into the Coordinated Entry System, a county housing navigation database, but we know that nearly 85-90% of these folks will never be housed, and if they are among the lucky ones, it most likely won’t be in Pasadena.So, the burning question for us, from a sociological, theological and moral standpoint, is this: do we really care about helping the homeless and most needy in our community, or do we just say we do when it’s expedient? Are we willing to do what it takes to significantly reduce the homeless population in Pasadena, which according to the latest 2018 statistics, is up 33% from last year to nearly 660 unsheltered individuals, or are we just offering band-aids that make us feel better but offer no real solution? After working in this community, some of us for decades, as clergy and people of faith, it seems like the veil needs to be lifted, serious soul-searching needs to happen, and folks need to get honest with themselves and with our homeless brothers and sisters. Other cities are taking unique and bold approaches to housing options (tiny house villages in Seattle, RV and micro home communities with social services outside Austin, TX). We are fighting desperately to convince the city to designate one location for housing 68 homeless seniors. This is a huge battle, and it really shouldn’t be. In the words of Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, “This is no time for neutrality.” No more commissions, studies, task-forces or empty promises. If we truly care, by this time next year, something of consequence will have happened on this burning issue; if it hasn’t, then we need to admit that we are only interested in having the same conversation again, and again, and again, offering nothing more than a balm on our own hearts and minds. For the sake of our homeless and at-risk neighbors, and ourselves, we continue to work for real change, and we pray that you will join us.Submitted by (In alphabetical order):Rev.
