Fallout from Chris Cuomo investigation claims career of network’s president CNN president Jeff Zucker announced his resignation from the cable news network after admitting to an undisclosed relationship with a colleague. “As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years. I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong. As a result, I am resigning today,” Mr Zucker said in a statement. The announcement stunned the media world and network staffers on Wednesday. According to CNN, Mr Zucker had a relationship with the company’s chief marketing officer, Allison Gollust. Ms Gollust acknowledged in her own statement that she, like Mr Zucker, should have disclosed the relationship to company human resources staffers. Instead, it was revealed in the course of an investigation into Chris Cuomo. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/jeff-zucker-resigns-allison-gollust-cnn-b2006160.html?page=2

(MENAFN- Caribbean News Global) BRIDGETOWN, Barbados — The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) is projecting gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 9.1 percent across its 19 Borrowing Member Countries (BMCs) in 2022, accelerating the region's economic recovery which started in 2021. The favourable outlook is anchored by an expected surge in the GDP of commodity-exporting economies by an estimated 17.5 percent on account of strong growth in Guyana (47.5%), emanating from increased oil and gas production, and a resurgence in energy production in Trinidad and Tobago as supply-side constraints are alleviated. Higher international prices for crude oil should translate into revenue windfall. Service-exporting BMCs are forecasted to gain momentum, growing at an average rate of 4.8 percent, reflecting the continued inflow of international visitors. It is anticipated that this rebound is likely to strengthen during 2022 as restrictions ease, on account of strengthened protective health measures. However, the return of international passenger arrivals will depend on the acceleration of vaccination rates; effective management of the pandemic without resorting to full and lengthy lockdowns; and continued confidence in protocols established for safe travel to the region. “A key lesson from the impact of the pandemic is that those countries entering the pandemic on a strong macro-fiscal footing fared better in weathering the headwinds. As such, countries are redoubling efforts to achieve debt sustainability despite extant challenges. Many countries are implementing programmes to achieve sustainability with support from the international financial institution community, including from CDB. Others are doing so outside of supported programmes but have established explicit fiscal anchors to function as platforms for macroeconomic policy frameworks.” said CDB director of economics Ian Durant at the bank's annual news conference held virtually today. The growth predicted for 2022, is also underpinned by expectations of accelerated implementation of several large infrastructure projects across the region. “Despite being a challenging year for the region, 2021 witnessed the continuation of a nascent regional recovery that began in the latter part of 2020,” the CDB director of economics highlighted. “The combination of easing of border controls and internal lockdown measures and the continued implementation of fiscal stimulus programmes in some BMCs helped regional economies in recovering some of the lost ground in economic activity.” In 2021, service-exporting economies expanded by 3.2 percent, which was due to a rebound in two sectors, Hotels and Restaurants, and Wholesale and Retail Trade, buoyed by an almost 10 percent increase in tourist arrivals between January and September, compared with the same period in 2020. Belize recorded growth of 10.9 percent while Saint Lucia's economy grew by 6.8 percent. The economies of Grenada, Antigua and Barbuda advanced by 4.8 percent and 4.7 percent respectively while The Bahamas gained 3.1 percent and Barbados grew by 1.4 percent. Among commodity-exporting countries, the average growth rate of 2.7 percent was driven by Guyana (19.9%), reflecting an increase in crude oil production, along with growth in the non-oil segment. Conversely, GDP in Trinidad and Tobago contracted by 2.9 percent, due to lower natural gas production with effects on downstream industries, along with mandated closures in the service sector. Similarly, in Suriname GDP declined by 3.5 percent, as the ongoing fiscal, economic and health crisis continued to weigh heavily on economic growth. After a sharp rise in regional debt-to-GDP in 2020 by 17.7 percentage points, largely because of the unparalleled contraction in regional GDP and to a lesser extent increased borrowing to respond to the COVID-19 crisis, average debt-to-GDP fell by 2.0 percentage points to 80.5 percent in 2021. Durant explained that the impact of the pandemic exposed the structural weaknesses that have caused the region's acute vulnerability to global economic shocks. Consequently, while the pandemic had an impact globally, there is no doubt that the high level of export concentration, which is a direct result of the structural weaknesses in the region, amplified the impact of the pandemic across the Caribbean. Stressing that recovery efforts need to be consistent with the longer-term repositioning of the region's economies, the CDB director of economics said this was necessary to reduce these vulnerabilities. Therefore, the region needs to become more resilient in all its development dimensions – social, economic, environmental, and institutional. https://menafn.com/1103627529/CDB-projects-regional-economic-growth-of-91-percent-in-2022&source=30

Raymond Feagles was arrested last week—after a blight complaint turned into an animal abuse investigation. Police found 164 dogs neglected and malnourished on the property—34 were found dead.Feagals, Raymond On Tuesday, Feagles was in court facing several charges. Feagles is facing a felony complaint of animal abandonment and cruelty towards more than 25 animals—all stemming from an ordinance violation. However, Tuesday wasn’t his first time in a court room. Feagles has a history of more than 40 cases over the course of 30 years, ranging homicidal threats to ongoing public harassment. “The ordinance violation–he’s failed to appear at least a couple of times, and obviously was uncooperative with the order of this court, he’s threatened the safety of officers and others,” said 86th District Court Judge Bob Cooney. Prosecuting Attorney Rachael Henry recounted a long list of complaints against Feagles, many involving the dogs. “In 2014, he surrendered about 40 dogs to Cherryland Humane Society and as a result of that, he hung around outside the humane society and harassed anyone who walked out with one of his dogs,” said Henry. Feagles was also investigated by the FBI for the purchase of silencers. Sheriff’s Deputy Preston Taylor says they found several firearms on his property. “Your honor, there have been weapons found in multiple vehicles and I understand today there were some weapons that were located within the house,” said Taylor. Feagles’ bond was set Tuesday, and he is expected back in court later this month. https://www.9and10news.com/2022/02/01/east-bay-township-man-arraigned-on-felony-charges-following-animal-neglect-case/

Today host Allison Langdon fought back tears on Tuesday morning after she shared some rather significant family news with viewers. Speaking with her fill-in co-host David Campbell, the TV star revealed that her five-year-old son Mack had his first day of school this week. Today host Allison Langdon revealed on-air that her five-year-old son Mack was starting school. Photo: Channel Nine “Mack is starting kindy today!” she said as a photo of her little boy dressed in his uniform appeared on screen. “His shorts come down past his knees. Oh look he’s so cute and he’s excited. A bit nervous. But I don’t know if his emotions have been the same as the rollercoaster that I’ve been on.” Ally went on to admit that she will have to try her best not to cry when she drops him off at school later in the morning. “I think I’m going to be pretty emotional today, but I’ve just got to obviously keep it together until he gets into the classroom and it will all be fine. He doesn't start until 10am today, so I’m going to [head] off right now and get there,” she added. RELATED Today's Karl Stefanovic and Ally Langdon 'under scrutiny' says insider Today's Ally Langdon on co-host Karl Stefanovic: 'Can't fake it' Karl Stefanovic defends celebrating on Australia Day after photo: 'Terrific' When asked for his parenting advice, father-of-three David quickly told Ally not to cry. “And it's never too early for a wine for mum this morning,” he added. Allison shares two children with her husband and fellow journalist Michael Willesee Jr: five-year-old Mack and three-year-old Scout. Ally, who hosts the Channel Nine series Parental Guidance, opened up to Yahoo Lifestyle late last year about her and Michael’s parenting style. “I know my husband and I, we don't really have a specific style, I think we just wing it,” she said, before adding, “My two kids are entirely different. How we raise one doesn't work for the other one”. She also said that despite being raised as a 'free-range kid' in the country, she is more of a ‘helicopter parent’ to Mack and Scout. “I’ve probably wrapped them in cotton wool a little too often,” she admitted. “What I've found is how often I'll say, ‘Be careful! Watch out!’ and the message I'm sending them when I do that is, ‘What you're doing is dangerous!’ as opposed to sometimes letting them work out their own limits with those things.” https://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/today-allison-langdon-gets-emotional-sharing-family-news-020131467.html

Moses J. Moseley was known for playing one of Michonne's pet zombies in The Walking Dead. He died at the age of 31, under mysterious circumstances. Fans of The Walking Dead certainly remember him. Moses J. Moseley had played one of Michonne's pet zombies, one of the main characters, between 2012 and 2015. His body was found this Wednesday, January 26, in his car in Georgia, as TMZ tells us. The comedian died of a gunshot wound. According to the police, it is possible that it was a suicide. The investigation is going in this direction. On January 23, the actor's family had reported him missing, after calling all the hospitals in the area, to no avail. They found the actor's car through OnStar, a company that specializes in finding stolen vehicles. "Everybody loved Moses. He loved his fans as much as his family and friends. He was always happy to audition and work," his agent, Tabatha Minchew, told Fox News in a statement. "He was the kind of person you could call in the middle of the night if you needed to talk or anything. He will be deeply missed by so many people, his friends, family, teammates and fans," she added. https://www.msn.com/fr-fr/divertissement/celebrites/the-walking-dead-mort-à-31-ans-de-moses-j-moseley-s-est-il-suicidé/ar-AATmQg3?ocid=BingNewsSearch

These days, there are a whole host of hiccups you can experience while traveling by air — domestically, internationally or otherwise. A travel day has become more like holding your breath and waiting for the next delay to hit, rather than a convenient, smooth way to get from point A to point B. Will your flight get delayed? Cancelled? Will someone refuse to wear a mask? Will security insist the candle you bought for your mother-in-law is suspicious? Will a drunken passenger result in an unexpected landing in Kansas?

Alors qu’elle enquêtait sur un trafic de marijuana, la police espagnole a démantelé une ferme de crypto-monnaie dans la région de Séville. Près de 45 000 euros d’équipement ont été saisis, dont de nombreuses cartes graphiques RTX 3080. The case begins in an almost mundane way for the Spanish police: an overuse of public electricity in the city of Santiponce, in the province of Seville, puts them on notice about the potential presence of a marijuana farm in warehouses in the area. However, the preliminary investigation into this anomaly eventually leads law enforcement to another lead, namely that of a cryptocurrency farm: an unprecedented situation in Spain, where no such case existed until then. 45,000 EUROS OF EQUIPMENT SEIZED However, the police made the expected discovery when they searched the premises: they found 21 ASIC mining systems, worth 31,500 euros, as well as a RIG mining system with numerous Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics cards, worth around 13,000 euros. This represents nearly 45,000 euros of equipment, with a monthly yield estimated at 3500 euros, mainly in Ethereum. In order to make this very expensive installation profitable as quickly as possible, the crypto miners have chosen to connect illegally to the Santiponce electrical network, thus drawing up to 2,000 euros of electricity per month to power the cooling systems and the industrial fans intended to evacuate the hot air from their farm. More than the crypto-mining activity itself, it was the theft of electricity that prompted law enforcement to act. "Investigators analyzing the material seized to identify those responsible for these facilities believe that these activities were in an early phase of operation, which is why the police intervention would have dismantled the activity before it became profitable for the organization," explains the official statement from the Spanish police. The minors themselves have not yet been apprehended: the police video shows that they were not present at the scene during the intervention. https://www.jeuxvideo.com/news/1523089/la-police-recherchait-de-la-drogue-elle-tombe-sur-une-ferme-de-crypto-monnaie-avec-des-rtx-3080.htm

In Parliament, the British Prime Minister apologized for the celebrations at 10 Downing Street during the lockdown, but ruled out resigning. Earlier, he received the administrative report on the breaches of the lockdown. The internal investigation points to "errors in judgment" by Boris Johnson's office. "I'm sorry," Boris Johnson blurted out in front of House members. After receiving the Sue Gray administrative report, dedicated to the breaches of containment in his Downing Street residence, the British Prime Minister spoke on Monday, January 31, in Parliament. He said he accepted the conclusions of the report and promised changes in the functioning of his cabinet, but ruled out resigning. Boris Johnson also assured that these changes will allow him to do the job for which he was elected. "I have understood. And the British people can trust us," he added, insisting on his post-Brexit achievements, the success of the vaccination campaign against the coronavirus or his response to the Ukrainian crisis. "I will get down to the task", he said, while he is in a delicate position, calls for resignation have multiplied even in the ranks of the majority. The long-awaited administrative report on "Partygate", the scandal of the parties organized in Downing Street during the lockdown, had been handed over to the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the morning. "There were failures of leadership and judgment by different parts of Downing Street and the Cabinet Office at different times. Some events should not have been allowed to happen," concluded senior civil servant Sue Gray in her much-anticipated text. According to his investigation, some staff members wanted to raise concerns about behaviour they had witnessed, but felt unable to do so. The release of this report on the 2020 and 2021 farewell parties, garden parties, Christmas parties and birthday parties at the Prime Minister's residence has kept the British press and politicians on edge for several weeks. But the document was delayed in being published, according to the press, because of questions about what might be in it, while the police in turn took up the scandal. According to the British news agency PA, "a version" of his investigation was handed to Boris Johnson, and Sky News says the document handed over on Monday is not "the full and final report", while the Conservative leader is expected to make a statement in the House of Commons in the afternoon. The British police, who have opened an investigation into several of these parties, potentially the most damaging for Boris Johnson, had provoked indignation by requesting that this internal report be redacted from key elements so as not to harm its own investigations, raising fears of the publication of a watered-down version. These celebrations have plunged Boris Johnson into a serious crisis that threatens his continuation in office, with calls for his resignation multiplying even in the Conservative majority. Many MPs in his camp were waiting for the publication of the internal report to decide whether or not to try to oust him through a vote of no confidence.) https://www.france24.com/fr/europe/20220131-partygate-le-très-attendu-rapport-de-sue-gray-remis-à-boris-johnson

Tener un kit con aditamentos para mantenerse caliente o para salir si se atasca en la nieve puede ayudarle a resolver problemas si debe manejar con las carreteras congeladas If you find yourself having to go outside during a winter storm, such as the one predicted this week, we recommend that you carry these items in your car to help you deal with the cold, rain, wind, ice and snow. Dust to de-ice the road While cities generally de-ice roads, sidewalks, parking lots and concrete steps on private property are not within their purview. If you are faced with extreme conditions, such as a slippery sidewalk where the ice has melted and refrozen, a little de-icing powder can make your walk less hazardous. Cat Litter When stuck in the snow, the best thing to do is to put your car in a low gear and accelerate slowly so the wheels have the best chance to gain traction. If the wheels spin too fast, your car could end up deeper in the snow. To get that extra bit of traction, you can sprinkle some kitty litter under your tires to give the treads some friction so they can pull your car out of the snow jam. Windshield defroster antifreeze. A good spray de-icer can solve countless problems. Spray it on the windshield to break up ice and frost, especially useful if your car's defroster isn't working properly. Also apply it to headlights and taillights to keep them from freezing and losing their shine. It's a good idea to keep a small container of antifreeze fluid in your purse, backpack or briefcase for those times when your car locks freeze and you can't get in. Blankets and clothing There are a number of electric heated blankets that can be plugged into a 12-volt outlet found in most automobiles. Look for a blanket that is large enough to keep two people warm and has a cord long enough to reach the back seat. It's also a good idea to carry extra clothing in your car so you can cover up in case you get stuck for a few hours on the road. Emergency flashlights Signal with lights that you're in trouble and need help. Even in the worst weather, a couple of reliable emergency flashlights are a great solution. There are flashlights that are waterproof and shockproof, and each is equipped with a strong magnet that allows mounting on steel car panels. https://www.dallasnews.com/espanol/al-dia/dallas-fort-worth/2022/01/31/auto-kit-emergencia-tormenta-invernal-hielo/

As always, those who need a visa will need to apply in advance at their nearest Thai embassy or consulate. All travellers must register for a Thailand Pass, which requires proof of paid bookings at an AQ or SHA Extra+ hotel for days 1 and 5, including pre-paid PCR tests on both days. Applicants must also upload proof of being fully vaccinated with an acceptable vaccine at least 14 days before entry. Accepted vaccines include AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna, Sinovac, Sinopharm, Johnson & Johnson, Sputnik,and Covaxin). Health insurance cover of at least US$50,000 is also required. People who have recovered from Covid-19 can enter provided they have a certificate of recovery and proof of 1 dose of a Covid-19 vaccine. In addition to Test & Go, the Sandbox scheme will be expanded to the following destinations starting from tomorrow Please include text: Phuket, Krabi, Phang Nga, Surat Thani (includes Koh Samui, Koh Phang Ngan, Koh Tao), Chon Buri (includes Bang Lamung, Pattaya, Si Racha, Si Chang, Na Jomtien, Bang Saray) Trat (includes Koh Chang). A Thailand Pass is also required for the Sandbox, with the same criteria as Test & Go. However, the Sandbox has an additional sti[CENSORED]tion that requires visitors to spend their first 7 nights in the same sandbox zone, before traveling elsewhere in the kingdom. They too will be subject to PCR testing on arrival and again on days 5 or 6. The Test & Go and the Sandbox are currently not open to unvaccinated travelers or those vaccinated with unrecognized vaccines. These visitors will be required to spend 7 days in an alternative quarantine facility. Pattaya City officials met with more than 30 local business owners on Saturday to discuss how to reopen the famous Pattaya “Walking Street” ahead of a planned US troops visit weeks ahead. Around 2,000 soldiers are expected to visit this month for the Cobra Gold military exercise and it seems like Walking Street is where they plan on staging their own unofficial invasion. The discussion between Bang Lamung district, the Pattaya Walking Street Business Association and Pattaya City Police comes just as Chon Buri prepares to welcome an anticipated influx of visitors under the Test & Go and Sandbox schemes. The military drills are scheduled from February 20 to March 5 for field training and humanitarian exercises. However, it is unknown whether they will be given leave or liberty during their stay. The Bang Lamung district chairman urged businesses to conduct daily ATK tests on every employee and customer and establish social distancing zones. However, the Pattaya City Police Chief Police also asked entertainment venues such as bars, pubs, nightclubs, and karaoke lounges to remain closed in accordance with national standards. However, he emphasized that they may apply to temporarily opening as “restaurants.” All attendees at the meeting agreed to ease restrictions in the future, including the legal reopening of nightlife, prolonging closing hours, permitting “extras” like pool and karaoke, and reducing the existing severe daily ATK testing regulations if the Covid-19 situation is improved in the area. Following the leaking of thousands of liters of crude oil into the waters around the eastern province of Rayong, the clean-up of แม่รำพึง beach has been completed. The Natural Resources and Environment Minister has confirmed that all the oil washed ontoแม่รำพึง has been removed. He has now placed all teams on standby in the event of the oil washing ashore at อ่าวพร้าว. The beach is around 500 metres wide and the minister says the oil must be stopped from reaching the area. The Royal Thai Navy has spotted an oil slick about 5 kilometres from Koh Samet but officials are hopeful it will not pose a threat to the beach. Meanwhile, the Geo-informatics and Space Technology Development Agency will have satellite images of the oil slicks in the seas off Rayong transmitted to its ground station to ensure all spills are taken care of. Activists demanding justice for evicted Karenni forest-dwellers have rallied in Bangkok, calling on the government to support the ethnic communities ousted from แก่งกระจาน National Park. A procession of vehicles through the capital was led by P-move and the Save บางกลอย group. Protesters say the people have been living in the Kaeng Krachan forest well before it was officially designated a national park in 1981. In 2010, 57 Karenni families were moved out of the park, when the Thai government applied for UNESCO heritage status. https://thethaiger.com/news/national/thailand-news-today-thailand-to-open-borders-to-all-countries-terms-and-conditions-apply

Gerd Goetz leaves the company's Executive Board at his own request Carsten Schölzki becomes sole Executive Board member with strong management team As tick Trading Software AG (ISIN: DE000A0LA304, Symbol: TBX) already announced on 21 June 2021, the contract of Executive Board member Gerd Goetz expired on 31 January 2022 and was not extended at his own request. "After more than ten years as a member of the supervisory board and five years as a member of the executive board, I will accompany tick-TS AG in my new role as a management consultant in the future. I look forward to an equally constructive, successful and cordial collaboration as before," Gerd Goetz explains on his departure. Matthias Hocke, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of tick-TS AG: "Gerd Goetz has supported tick-TS since its foundation as a source of advice and impetus.

While Wolfgang Erdmann, as an industry expert, can draw on more than 25 years of experience in the IT and product environment of HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt AG, Sören Ploschke brings diverse know-how and expertise in the area of corporate finance and investor relations through his many years of work at Ernst & Young and FinLab AG.

The secret of Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) stock success is simple. As it prepares to announce another grand quarter on Feb. 1, with net income of $26.69 per share and revenue of $59.3 billion expected, I’m here to tell you that secret. It’s a hardware company. GOOGL stock rose to prominence on Google search software, but its continuing success is based on owning hardware. I’m not just talking about Android phones or Chromebook PCs, which like Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) set standards for other OEMs. The secret sauce of Alphabet is Google’s cloud data centers. They are now in 29 locations around the world, with 9 more on the way. 7 Triple-A Rated Stocks to Buy Now It’s in filling these centers with content it doesn’t pay for and cloud data that pays to be there, that Alphabet makes its money. It sells ads against other peoples’ stuff. Its ambition is to have companies pay to keep their stuff with it. A Closer Look at GOOGL Stock Between them, Alphabet’s Google and YouTube video unit drew over $53 billion in revenue, just in the third quarter. Google search ads drew $38 billion of this total. Search, YouTube, and its ad network are all growing at 40% per year and more. The traditional model for ads was that you paid to create content people looked at. Ads acted as billboards on the side of that road. Alphabet’s Google search isn’t creating any content, only metadata. This is data about data, like where it is and what or who it’s connected to. Alphabet is selling ads against that. This has systematically killed the business model for most content. Newspapers and magazines are dead. TV is dying. Why should an advertiser pay production costs when they can get the same benefit sitting next to a search query, or some kids’ cat video? Especially since the metadata knows who’s making that search query, or looking at that cat? There are many free social and network services. What’s unique about Alphabet (along with rival Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:FB)) is that it owns the hardware on which these services run. The $6.8 billion in capital it spent expanding its network in the third quarter took just a small piece of its $23.7 billion in operating cash flow. This is what makes Alphabet and Facebook “Cloud Czars.” It’s the ownership of hardware, paid for with cash flow, that makes them different from social media stocks like Twitter (NASDAQ:TWTR), ByteDance, Snapchat (NASDAQ:SNAP) or Reddit. Subsidized Cloud Profits from advertising also subsidize Alphabet’s Google Cloud. As Alphabet’s third-quarter report makes clear, Google Cloud is still losing money, $640 million in the most recent quarter. The excuse is that it’s growing, by 44% per year, slightly faster than the ad business. Rivals Microsoft and Amazon.Com (NASDAQ:AMZN), by contrast, make money on their clouds. AWS’ profit of $4.83 billion nearly equaled Google Cloud’s total take. If you’re buying GOOGL stock today, and after talking it down for a year I’m tempted, it’s because you expect Google to eventually make a profit renting cloud space, and to keep growing in the advertising space. The Bottom Line on GOOGL Stock The risk in GOOGL stock is the same as the risk in Ford Motor (NYSE:F). It must buy chips in vast quantities to keep growing. New chip factories from Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) and Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM) can’t come on-stream fast enough. The cheaper its chips, the less capital it spends, the fatter its profits. Assuming it can keep buying hardware to monetize, Google practically runs itself. Only in the money-losing cloud operation does it need sales help. Everywhere else it’s taking orders, mostly online. When CEO Sundar Pichai dances, certainly boys, what else? The piper pays him. But unlike Professor Harold Hill, he knows the territory.
