São Paulo – Construction material importers from Kuwait, Sudan and Saudi Arabia have engaged in matchmaking with Brazilian enterprises this Thursday (26th), at the offices of the Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce , in São Paulo. The event is part of the World Cup Project, organized by the Brazilian Export and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil) and sectorial organizations.

Alaby welcomed the executives prior to the matchmaking

Prior to the matchmaking, the participants were welcomed by Michel Alaby, the Arab chamber CEO, and watched a project presentation. “The Arab Chamber is the only Brazilian chamber recognized by the Arab League and the General Union of Chambers of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture for Arab Countries, when it comes to issuing export documentation to Arab countries,” said Alaby, who placed the organization at the executives’ disposal.

Malik Alkhatim, general manager of Sudan’s Bafajar Brothers for Multi Activities, has come to Brazil looking to purchase electrical material, such as lighting fixtures, cables, wiring devices etc.

“I hear a lot about Brazilian products. I am aware that the quality is great, now we will see whether the pricing is competitive,” the executive said. The company is active in Sudan and South Sudan and buys most of its product from China, apart from being a distributor of France’s Schneider.

Reginaldo Damião, representing Magnamed, was one of the exporters who spoke with Alkhatim. Magnamed manufactures medical ventilators, especially lung and ambulance ventilators, apart from those used in intensive care.

Damião explains that his company deals with construction companies specializing in turnkey projects, i.e. those involving everything from the project to the purchase of equipment for the hospital or any other venture at hand.

“He works with turnkey projects. They build the hospital and install the products. They have several projects underway,” said the Magnamed executive, noting that he hopes to do business with the North African buyer.

The Brazilian company already sells to several Arab countries, like Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Sudan.

Sajauddin Amiji, representing Atraco General Trading, from Saudi Arabia, attended the matchmaking round in order to purchase iron, ceramics, wood and other building material. “We buy from several different countries, mostly China, India, Italy and United States. We are looking to diversify our suppliers and to find more product” said Amiji.

Gujral speaks with Brazilian executive

ITG Construction, owned by Kuwait’s holding company Sultan Center, is dealing with Brazil for the first time. “We are seeking all sorts of building materials, from wood to glass, from basic materials to specific ones like ceramic, finishes etc.,” said director Munish Gujral.

The company does not import any material from Brazil yet, and its leading suppliers are in the United States, Italy and Germany. According to Gujral, the matchmaking will likely lead to deals being closed. “We are seeking out partners, it is still too early to tell, but I think Brazil has good products,” he asserted.

One of the exporters who are hoping to strike a deal with ITG is Cláudio Araújo, representing extruded ceramics manufacturer Gail. “The matchmaking was very interesting; I spoke with a delegate from Kuwait, a market where we are already active. We have several projects there, and he really enjoyed our product,” said Araújo.

Tras 22 años de trabajar en Noticias Repretel, la directora Roxana Zúñiga anunció que dejará la pantalla nacional para acogerse a su pensión. Esto se convirtió en una noticia inesperada para los periodistas, camarógrafos, editores, entre otros funcionarios de la televisora ubicada en la Uruca.

El presidente de esta, Fernando Contreras, explicó que se trata de una baja muy sensible, dada la gran experiencia que posee para interpretar los distintos temas de la actualidad nacional.

“La directora de prensa de Repretel, la licenciada Roxana Zúñiga, decidió acogerse a su pensión a partir del 29 de setiembre de 2017.

Es una sensible pérdida y para quienes formamos parte de esta empresa. Le deseamos lo mejor para esta nueva etapa de su vida, agradeciéndole sus valiosos aportes”, manifestó. Contreras.

Del currículum de Zúñiga sobresale que inició en la faena de la comunicación al lado Rolando Ángulo, en el desaparecido Radio Periódicos Reloj y, seguidamente, pasó al área escrita en La Nación y en Al Día.

El trabajo veraz que desempeñó le permitió obtener en dos ocasiones el Premio Nacional de Periodismo Pío Víquez, en 1992 y en el 2005, y el apreció de los televidentes de distintas edades.

Contreras confirmó que todavía no selecciona a quién ocupará ese cargo, pero en los pasillos del canal se rumora que podría tratarse del jefe de redacción Jerry Alfaro, o bien, del director de Noticias Monumental, Randall Rivera.

Lastima que doña Roxana no mejoró el contenido de su noticiero de amarillista, sucesero, igual de mediocre, como el del canal de La Sabana, que le copió muy bien la “formula” a Noticias Repretel y creo que la superó , en donde compiten cual es el más mediocre de los dos, cuando la mismas “noticias” las dan al mismo tiempo. Ya harta y cansan las noticias rojas y deportivas que es lo único que dan, y da pereza ver estos “telenoticieros”. Ojalá llegue a la dirección de Noticias Repretel una cabeza pensante y que cambie de una vez por todas el enfoque del noticiero, aunque no quiero ilusionarme y dudo mucho que haya un cambio y seguiremos con la misma mediocridad de siempre.

**Related Video Above: Authorities search for Brian Laundrie in Florida.**

(WJW) — One Florida hiker says he saw none other than Brian Laundrie Saturday near the Appalachian Trail.

Dennis Davis spoke with FOX News, among other news outlets, saying he swears he saw Laundrie, who is currently missing after his fiancé Gabby Petitio was found dead in Wyoming, driving a white truck near the North Carolina border around 12:30 p.m.

“There is no doubt about it. That was Brian Laundrie I was just talking to. 100%. Not a doubt in my mind,” Davis told FOX News.

Davis reportedly saw Laundrie while in a parking lot near the trail, he even had a short conversation with him.

“He said, ‘Me and my girlfriend had a fight, and man, I love her, and she called me, and I need to go out to California to see her,’” Davis told FOX News.

Davis told FOX News that at first he thought Laundrie was on drugs, but that later he just thought he seemed tired.

Davis reported the sighting to multiple authorities, but so far, the Haywood County, North Carolina, Sheriff’s Office is the only group that told FOX News they have searched the area looking for Laundrie. The sheriff’s office also reportedly received at least 10 other Laundrie sightings over the weekend.

Laundrie, who is wanted by authorities, was reported missing by his family last month after he had returned home from a cross-country trip without Petito. The search, which TV’s Duane “Dog the Bounty Hunter” Chapman has even gotten involved in, continues.

Yesterday, Petito’s mother Nichole Schmidt took to Twitter for the first time saying that Laundrie should turn himself into authorities.

    Mario Soares, the prime minister who helped consolidate Portugal’s transition to democracy and became the first freely elected premier after a revolution ended almost five decades of dictatorship, has died. He was 92.

    Soares died Saturday, said Jose Barata, a spokesman for the Red Cross Hospital in Lisbon. Portugal’s former prime minister and president entered the hospital on Dec. 13, 2016, according to Barata.

    “The loss of Soares is the loss of someone who is irreplaceable in our recent history, we owe him a lot,” Prime Minister Antonio Costa said from New Delhi, where he is on a state visit. The government declared three days of mourning starting Monday, with a state funeral planned, Costa said in comments broadcast by television station SIC Noticias.

    Soares, who was arrested a dozen times in his fight against Antonio de Oliveira Salazar’s dictatorship, returned from exile in Paris after the 1974 Carnation Revolution. That year, he was appointed foreign minister in a provisional government and was in charge of negotiating the independence of Portugal’s overseas colonies. A co-founder of the moderate Socialist Party, Soares is also credited with helping counter the Communist Party’s attempt to win more power after the almost bloodless revolution.

    “I certainly don’t want to be a Kerensky,” Soares said in a discussion with Henry Kissinger, then U.S. secretary of state, referring to the moderate Russian socialist Alexander Kerensky who had to flee after the Bolsheviks seized power in 1917.

    “Neither did Kerensky,” replied Kissinger, who was concerned that the communists would take power, according to an account of the conversation published in 1997 in the Journal of Democracy.

    In 1976, Soares’s Socialist Party won the country’s first free elections after the revolution and he became prime minister. In 1983, he was elected premier again and helped negotiate Portugal’s entry into the European Economic Community, a predecessor of the European Union. He served as president from 1986 to 1996.

    ‘Historical Role’

    “Mario Soares challenged all the big proposals and power situations of his time,” Rui Ramos, a Portuguese historian, said. “That was the historical role of this man of letters and lawyer from downtown Lisbon.”

    Soares remained an active voice in Portuguese politics after leaving office, often critical of austerity measures imposed by the International Monetary Fund and European Union after Portugal sought a bailout in 2011.

    “The troika doesn’t give us anything. It grants loans with very high interest rates,” Soares, who also requested aid from the IMF after becoming prime minister in 1983, said in a an article published on his foundation’s website.

    Mario Alberto Nobre Lopes Soares was born Dec. 7, 1924, in Lisbon, the son of Joao Soares and Elisa Nobre Baptista. His father, the founder of a school and a former minister, endured periods of imprisonment and exile under the Salazar dictatorship, according to a New York Times profile in 1983.

    Soares obtained a degree in history and philosophy and a law degree at the University of Lisbon before founding the Socialist Party.

    While in prison in 1949, he married Maria Barroso, a leading actress, according to the Times profile. She died in 2015. They had a son, Joao Soares, a former minister of culture and Lisbon mayor, and a daughter, Isabel Soares, a psychologist and school director.

      Sin embargo, no se nos permite usar la misma expresión, muy malas noticias, acerca de Afganistán. No, Cameron tenía que hablar de un logro, y ahora la madre de un soldado muy mal herido habla de su desesperada sensación de desperdicio. Para el general Dannatt, el futuro depende de los amigos afganos. No es la gran novedad; siempre supimos que el talibán seguiría combatiendo.

      No hay más que leer a los periodistas afganos, los reportes del país, para saber que hasta el churchilliano muy malas noticias está un poco del lado optimista. Veamos el caso de los afganos musulmanes chiítas Hazara capturados en un autobús en el camino a Kabul este año. Los chicos del Isis detuvieron el autobús, secuestraron a 30 y querían canjearlos por familiares presos –uzbekos, al parecer– en manos del gobierno afgano. Los cautivos fueron sujetos al trato usual del Isis: por lo menos una decapitación, días de golpizas, más videos de chiítas con cinturones suicidas. Sólo después de nueve meses fueron liberados, luego de un asalto armado del talibán a sus captores. Sí, los chicos malos de pronto se volvieron buenos, los mismos chicos malos que han capturado Sangin, pero que ahora combaten a los aún más horribles chicos malos. Si no fuera trágico, sería fársico.

      Y, sólo para dar una idea, tomemos la reciente historia local en Afganistán acerca del pobre Qais Rahmani, quien, junto con su familia y su bebé de cuatro meses, partió entre el ejército de refugiados hacia Europa y en Turquía abordó un barco hacia Grecia, que casi de inmediato se hundió. El bebé murió en sus brazos. Sólo un Alan Kurdi más, dirán ustedes, pero lo que impactó a los afganos fue que Qais era un conocido presentador de televisión; su esposa y familiares tenían estudios universitarios. Los Rahmanis no eran de la masas pobres y arracimadas. Eran de la clase media, de la gente que hubiera querido quedarse a construir el nuevo Afganistán y trabajar para su gobierno, que –vuelvo a citar a Obama– trabaja para combatir la corrupción, fortalecer las instituciones y sostener el estado de derecho.

      Así que detengámonos a mirar el guión. El talibán terminó con el régimen ilegal de las milicias afganas y hacia 1996 tenía el control de casi todo el país. Pero también dio refugio a Al Qaeda después del 11-S, así que invadimos Afganistán para destruir tanto a Al Qaeda como a los viles misóginos, asesinos y antidemocráticos talibanes. Pero el talibán no fue conquistado. Y ahora está venciendo. Y ahora queremos que combata al aún más vil, misógino y asesino Isis. Por eso, oculto al final de su perorata al pueblo estadunidense, Obama dijo que todos deberían presionar al talibán para que haga su parte en la persecución de la paz que los afganos merecen. Así pues, el horrible talibán puede convertirse de nuevo en el bueno y valiente talibán. En verdad, las noticias de Afganistán deben de ser muy malas.

      Las noticias falsas y su distribución por las redes sociales a gran escala han sido uno de los grandes problemas que se encontraron en la pasada campaña electoral en Estados Unidos. Una noticia falsa sobre que el papa Francisco daba su apoyo directo a Donald Trump en la presidencia fue compartido como real por casi un millón de personas. Ahora, gracias a una investigación de BuzzFeed News, se ha descubierto que una misma persona estaba detrás de todo un imperio de portales con informaciones “fake” (falsas).

      Facebook ahora se ha propuesto acabar con este tipo de noticias en su plataforma y está trabajando en la elaboración de pequeñas señales que alerten a sus usuarios sobre noticias poco fiables. A pesar de ello sigue habiendo cientos de páginas con este tipo de contenido que no cesan su actividad.

      Analizados más de 750 artículos fake, BuzzFeed News fue uno de los medios estadounidenses que más esfuerzo ha dedicado para dar caza y denunciar este tipo de portales. Los periodistas Craig Silverman y Jeremy Singer-Vine, analizaron las webs que se encargaron de difundir noticias falsas sobre las elecciones estadounidenses. Encontraron que había un pequeño imperio de 43 portales web que en su conjunto habían publicado más de 750 artículos fake.

      Para sorpresa de los reporteros, la inmensa mayoría de esas informaciones no estaban relacionadas con Trump o Hillary Clinton. Un gran número de piezas (342) repetían el mismo patrón: una celebridad se muda a tal pueblo o comunidad específica. Se pretendía así dar popularidad en la red a alguna zona geográfica utilizando como enganche al famoso de turno: Johnny Depp, Matthew McConaughey, Demi Lovato, Rihanna, Jim Carrey, etc.

      La clave del éxito de estas webs fake estuvo en la cercanía y el enfoque local. Juntar el nombre de una celebridad con un pueblo pequeño provocaba engaños específicos. Los lectores veían esa información y la daban por cierta al pensar que nadie iba a perder tiempo en mentir usando el nombre de un pueblecito.

      Los investigadores hallaron después que la mayoría de las webs tenían registros privados para que el propietario se mantuviera siempre en el anonimato. Era tal la evidencia de que las webs venían del mismo sitio que las diferencias entre unas y otras eran mínimos, para ahorrar tiempo.

      Otro de los temas recurrentes en este pequeño imperio de falsedad eran las historias que relacionaban a Justin Bieber con la construcción de iglesias en lugares remotos o la invención de que se iban a grabar secuelas de grandes producciones del cine en pequeñas localidades.

      Cuando los vecinos de dichos pueblos veían esa información, en lugar de confirmarla en medios de comunicación serios, preferían celebrarla difundiéndola en sus propias cuentas de Facebook. Eso provocaba que la noticia falsa creciera con la ayuda de lectores engañados.

      Mirá también: Desató un tiroteo en una pizzería de Washington por una noticia falsa

      Casi todas las webs de noticias falsas analizadas por BuzzFeed News tenían una misma ID de Google AdSense, es decir, todo el dinero que recaudaban con la publicidad de Google iba a parar a una misma cuenta bancaria. La cuenta pertenecía a un tal Justin Smithson, natural de Missouri y residente en Atascadero (California). Se trata de un piloto de vuelos chárter, de unos 30 años y con grandes conocimientos de informática.

      El artículo de BuzzFeed News aclara que es imposible asegurar al cien por ciento que este Justin Smithson sea el responsable de todas las webs de falsificación de noticias. Se podría tratar de otra persona que se hace pasar por ese hombre o directamente ser una identidad falsa.

      En octubre, BuzzFeed logró contactar con Justin Smithson por correo electrónico, para confirmar los datos que tenían. Él respondió diciendo que estaban contactando con la persona equivocada y después ignoró otros mensajes que le enviaron. Aunque los periodistas no se dieron por vencidos y dieron con su dirección física.

      Se presentaron en su domicilio y de lejos vieron a Smithson sentado en la terraza con otro hombre. Al ver que se aproximaban a ellos con una cámara en la mano, se encerraron en la casa. Los reporteros les informaron que estaban buscando a Justin y uno de ellos gritó por una ventana que no había nadie allí con ese nombre. Acto seguido amenazó con romper la cámara si no se marchaban.

      Con toda esta información, y ante la negativa de esa persona a dar su versión de los hechos, BuzzFeed publicó una larga nota días atrás, aportando todas las pruebas que tenían. Fue precisamente en ese momento cuando Justin Smithson se pronunció para negarlo todo. “No soy dueño de esos sitios web ni soy quien los amenazó con romper la cámara en mi casa. Nunca los he visto. Su artículo es totalmente difamatorio y pido que se elimine”, escribió en un e-mail donde añadió que la ID de Google AdSense mencionada fue usada por otra persona de forma fraudulenta.

      In the final days leading up to the start of jury selection in the murder and manslaughter trial of former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, officers responded to at least three shootings that killed one man and injured two others.

      The homicide happened close to the scene of George Floyd’s death nearly a year ago, at the intersection of 38th and Chicago, now known as George Floyd Square.

      A man in his 30s died at Hennepin County Medical Center after the shooting around 5:45 p.m. Saturday.

      At 10:44 p.m., a man was injured in another shooting in Uptown in the area of Lagoon between Girard and Hennepin avenues. The man was taken to HCMC with non-life threatening injuries.

      At 4:49 a.m. Sunday, officers responded to a shooting in north Minneapolis in the 2700 block of Upton Avenue North. A man suffering from non-critical injuries was taken to North Memorial Medical Center. Police reported that the man was in a vehicle when he was shot.

      Information on the Saturday evening homicide at George Floyd Square is limited and Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder said he doesn’t anticipate any new information will be released Sunday.

      Initial findings in the investigation are that the victim and suspect got into an argument when the suspect shot the victim. The suspect then fled the scene in a light colored Suburban that was struck by gunfire.

      No arrests have been made in the three shootings, Elder said Sunday morning. He added that the shootings have no correlation to the upcoming Chauvin trial and that nice weather typically drives an uptick in crime.

      Saturday’s homicide is likely the 12th homicide in Minneapolis so far this year. Elder said charges in Thursday’s fatal hit-and-run in north Minneapolis haven’t yet been filed, but if charged as a homicide, that would mark the city’s 11th homicide.

      A 54-year-old man was arrested in connection to the crash that killed 49-year-old Jerry Lee Johnson, according to a media release Sunday from the Hennepin County Medical Examiner’s Office.

      Johnson was killed at 5:55 p.m. Thursday when he was struck near the intersection of 30th and Newtown Avenue North. The medical examiner stated the cause of death as multiple blunt force injuries.

      The hit-and-run and three shootings remain under investigation.

      Por qué renunciar a las noticias te hace más feliz


      En opinión del escritor Rolf Dobelli, las noticias son malas para la salud. No todas, pero muchas, como dice, llevan al miedo y la agresión, dificultan la creatividad y la capacidad de pensar con profundidad, por lo que aconseja renunciar a ellas.


      En un artículo publicado en ‘The Guardian’, el escritor Rolf Dobelli subraya que solo ahora algunos empiezan a reconocer hasta qué punto la sobreabundancia de noticias que nos ofrecen hoy los medios de comunicación puede ser “tóxica”.

      En este sentido, Dobelli compara este fenómeno con el hecho de que hace décadas la humanidad se hiciera consciente de lo peligroso de comer mucho por riesgo de sufrir obesidad o diabetes. Y así comenzó a cambiar la dieta, renunciando a algunos alimentos menos sanos.

      “Pero la mayoría de nosotros todavía no entendemos que la noticia es para nuestra mente como el azúcar para el cuerpo. Es fácil de digerir las noticias”, escribe.

      Dobelli destaca algunas de las razones que indican que las noticias son dañinas para salud humana:

      “Las noticias no tienen poder explicativo. Artículos y noticias son burbujas que explotan en la superficie de un mundo que cada vez se hace más profundo. ¿La acumulación de hechos te ayudará a entender el mundo? Lamentablemente, no”, afirma.

      “Las noticias son tóxicas para el cuerpo. Las informaciones de los medios constantemente obligan constantemente a activar el sistema límbico. Las historias de horror estimulan la liberación de glucocorticoides (cortisol), que desregula el sistema inmunitario. Es decir, el cuerpo se encuentra en un estado de estrés crónico. Los altos niveles de glucocorticoides causan el deterioro de la digestión, falta de crecimiento (célula, pelo, hueso), nerviosismo y susceptibilidad a las infecciones. Otros efectos secundarios potenciales son el miedo, la agresión, la disminución de visión y la desensibilización”.

      “Las noticias aumentan los errores cognitivos. Warren Buffett aseguró: “Lo que el ser humano hace mejor es interpretar toda nueva información de manera que sus conclusiones anteriores se mantengan intactas”. Las noticias agravan este defecto. Llegamos a ser propensos a un exceso de confianza, tomamos riesgos estúpidos y juzgamos mal las oportunidades”.

      “Las noticias impiden al pensamiento. El proceso de pensamiento requiere concentración. La concentración requiere un tiempo ininterrumpido. Pero las noticias se han diseñado específicamente para interrumpirla. Son como virus que roban la atención para sus propios fines. Las noticias nos hacen pensadores superficiales. Aún peor: las noticias afectan gravemente a la memoria”.

      “Las noticias son como una droga. Las historias se desarrollan y queremos saber cómo continúan. Con cientos de argumentos arbitrarios en nuestras cabezas, este deseo es cada vez más apremiante y difícil de ignorar”.

      “Las noticias nos roban tiempo. Si leemos el periódico durante 15 minutos cada mañana; después revisamos las noticias durante 15 minutos durante el almuerzo y otra vez 15 minutos antes de ir a la cama, además de leer noticias de vez en cuando en el trabajo, resulta que perdemos al menos la mitad de un día cada semana”.

      “Las noticias hacen a la gente pasiva. En su mayoría abrumadora, las noticias tratan sobre cosas sobre las que no se puede influir. La repetición diaria de noticias sobre realidades sobre las que no podemos actuar nos hace pasivos. Nos afectan hasta que adoptamos una visión del mundo más pesimista, nos hace insensibles, sarcásticos y fatalistas”.

      “Las noticias matan la creatividad. Las cosas que ya conocemos limitan nuestra creatividad. Esta es una de las razones por las que los matemáticos, los novelistas, compositores y empresarios a menudo producen la mayor parte de sus trabajos creativos en edad joven. Sus cerebros tienen un amplio espacio ‘deshabitado’ que les permite llegar a nuevas ideas”.

      Entretanto, el autor de la publicación sostiene que “la sociedad necesita periodismo, pero de una manera diferente”. En este contexto, asegura, el periodismo de investigación “es siempre relevante”. “Necesitamos informaciones que vigilen nuestras instituciones y descubran la verdad”, señala.

      It started as a traditional Sunday service.

      The worship rose and fell in emotional chorus. People shook hands with their neighbors in the pews.

      But then, in lieu of a sermon, Destiny Christian Church Pastor Greg Fairrington welcomed onstage Republican gubernatorial candidate Larry Elder.

      “People of faith, in my opinion, have stood on the sidelines for far too long. We need to get involved. And that is why I’m running,” Elder told the 5,000 people who packed the sprawling Rocklin church campus to watch his 30-minute conversations with the pastor at each of the three Sunday morning services. An additional 25,000 watched online. “I’m doing it because I feel that I have a patriotic, a moral, and a spiritual obligation to fix this state to the extent I can.”

      More than 400 miles south, after another pastor prayed and a choir sang, a different Christian congregation was applauding the man Elder hopes to replace should he be recalled: Gov. Gavin Newsom.

      “The Bible teaches us we are many parts but one body. And when one part suffers, we all suffer. This notion of a web of mutuality — that we’re all in this together,” the governor said in a five-minute appearance at the Youngnak Church of LA Sunday morning.

      As candidates crisscross California ahead of the recall election on Sept. 14, faith communities have become a central place for proselytizing to potential voters. The role of religion on the campaign trail has been amplified in recent weeks by lingering anger over California’s COVID-19 restrictions that severely limited in-person worship as well as Elder’s rising candidacy, which has enjoyed significant support from Christian conservatives.

      Of all the candidates, Elder has made arguably the most concerted effort to win over faith communities. In the nearly two months since he announced his run for governor — prodded by friend and devoted advocate Jack Hibbs, the pastor of Calvary Chapel Chino Hills — Elder has courted evangelicals at megachurches across the state.

      He and other Republican candidates have seized on the closure of churches and religious organizations during the pandemic, harnessing anger over the shutdowns to generate enthusiasm for the recall among conservative voters.

      An early contribution of $500,000 to the recall effort came from Orange County donor John Kruger through his limited liability company Prov 3:9, named for the Bible verse: “Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your produce.” A company representative said in January that Kruger believed Newsom’s executive actions restricting in-person religious assembly violated the U.S. Constitution.

      Newsom teams up with prominent Democrats, as Republican front-runner Larry Elder held rallies in Castaic and Thousand Oaks.

      “Many people of faith feel like the government has been overreaching and interfering with really the first freedom of our country, which is the right to gather and to worship and to practice your faith without any interference of any bureaucrat or any political authority,” said Assemblyman Kevin Kiley, a Republican recall candidate from Rocklin. “I think that’s similar in some sense to how people have felt when it comes to the role of government in a lot of other ways.”

      In February, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that California could not ban indoor services during the pandemic. At Destiny, which held in-person services last year in defiance of the governor’s orders, Fairrington asked if Elder would ever use executive power to limit freedom of religion.

      “Of course not,” Elder said to applause.

      He trumpeted other issues important to the conservative crowd, saying that he would never condemn people for “standing up for their own religious values” when refusing business to members of the LGBTQ community, that he doesn’t think sex education should be taught in schools and that he believes Roe vs. Wade should be overturned, returning governing of abortion to states. The audience at each service cheered.

      “I think the whole congregation was like ecstatic to receive somebody in that’s such an opposition of what we have had these last four, eight, 10 years. It’s incredible,” said Monica D’Angelo, 62, a newcomer to the church who attended the 8 a.m. service. “We need to have a fresh start in this country and in this state especially.”

      While Elder and Newsom were addressing congregations on Sunday, Kiley made his own appeal to church audiences in a string of campaign appearances at Godspeak Calvary Chapel Thousand Oaks, where Elder and Republican recall candidate Anthony Trimino previously campaigned. The church has a history of welcoming candidates to speak to parishioners, said pastor and former Thousand Oaks councilman Rob McCoy.

      Kiley said campaigning in faith communities is a natural continuum of meeting with mosque, synagogue and church members in his district throughout his five-year tenure in the Assembly.

      “Faith is something that is so fundamental to the lives of millions and millions of people in California. Churches are institutions that bring people together and also engage in service to the community,” Kiley said. “So if you’re going to run for office and say, ‘I’m not going to interact with the faith community,’ that’s worth writing a story about, if someone said that.”

      Among the other leading candidates running in the recall election, Republican businessman John Cox has campaigned in various faith settings, his campaign manager Bryan Reed said. A representative for Kevin Paffrath said the Democratic candidate had not visited or planned to campaign with any religious groups, though he is willing and “supportive of all individual communities.” And in a campaign ad posted to her Twitter account in June, Republican recall candidate Caitlyn Jenner emphasized that, if she’s elected, “Together we’ll send a message to Sacramento that the power belongs to the people and we only worship God.”

      But not all places of worship are eager to jump into the political arena.

      Republican recall candidate and former San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer planned to set up an appearance outside Christ First Covina church at an event last month. But about half an hour before Faulconer arrived, a church official told the organizers that Christ First could not host political events for fear of affecting its nonprofit status. The campaign moved next door to the sidewalk in front of Covina Public Library.

      The Internal Revenue Service restricts certain political activities for 501(c)(3) nonprofits, including many faith organizations. To be considered a tax-exempt nonprofit, the IRS website states, an organization “may not attempt to influence legislation as a substantial part of its activities and it may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates.”

      This is what voters need to know about the Sept. 14 recall election.

      Campaigning has a long history inside houses of worship, but aside from the occasional example, the IRS rarely intervenes when religious institutions are alleged to overstep the bounds.

      “You kind of almost have to ask the question like, what are the things you can say that if they were recorded, and somehow the IRS engaged in an audit, and you took it to court, you are likely to lose,” UC Santa Barbara religious studies assistant professor Joseph Blankholm said. “That’s kind of how we have to put it. Because we’re really that far down on the likelihood of enforceability.”

      When asked by The Times if he contemplated whether his visit might jeopardize a church’s nonprofit status, Kiley said, “I take it that that’s something they have considered.”

      “I don’t really offer legal advice to anyone who offers me invitations to meet with them,” he added.

      Recent research shows that politicking by congregations has increased in recent years, particularly among Black Protestant churchgoers. A majority of congregations in the U.S. engage in at least one politically related activity, including nonpartisan get-out-the-vote efforts and candidate endorsements, according to research by sociologists Kraig Beyerlein of the University of Notre Dame and Mark Chaves of Duke University citing the National Congregations Study.

      “The touchstone is if you’re engaging in partisan political activity,” said UCLA law professor Jonathan Zasloff. “Usually a church or synagogue isn’t going to say — if there was a regular election — ‘Support Newsom’ or ‘Support the Republican.’ The recall is a bit of a gray area, because it’s not necessarily partisan. In fact, Newsom himself isn’t even listed as a Democrat. On the other hand, it’s pretty obvious what the partisan complexion is of this campaign, and many of the candidates have their own party affiliation listed.”

      What you need to know about California’s Sept. 14 recall election targeting Gov. Gavin Newsom.

      IKAR Jewish community in Los Angeles has ramped up its activism since pledging to be a 100% voting community more than five years ago. Volunteers started phone banking to other members, congregants were sent home with “Know your representative” cards and the synagogue advocated for ballot initiatives and legislation.

      “Our synagogue was founded with a commitment to making doing justice a key pillar of what it means to us to be a faith community and to live Jewishly in the world,” said Brooke Wirtschafter, IKAR’s director of community organizing, later adding that IKAR is “careful and trying to make sure to stay within the boundaries of the law.”

      Other faith leaders are happy to share whom they support.

      After praying over a recent Elder rally in Costa Mesa, Father Brendan Hankins, a vicar at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church in Costa Mesa, told local blog Costa Mesa Brief: “We’re pro life. We believe in the defense of life, from conception until natural death. And we know that with Larry Elder, that we have that support and that hope, and hopefully that will change the state.”

      Diocese of Orange spokesman Bradley Zint later explained that Hankins, a priest of the Norbertine Order, had given “an expression of his own preference and not an endorsement coming from the Diocese.”

      In a video posted to his personal Instagram account, San Diego’s Awaken Church Pastor Jurgen Matthesius encouraged his 21,000 followers to vote Newsom out, explaining why he was voting for Elder.

      “We’re waiting for the perfect man, we’re waiting for the perfect candidate. They are moral, they are upright, they walk on water, they can multiply five loaves and two fish,” he said on the video. “We have to dislodge wickedness, and we have to develop not a savior mentality, but we have to develop a long-game mentality.”

      On Sunday, Fairrington introduced Elder with a Bible verse, Proverbs 29:2: “When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.”

      “We’ve been groaning in the state of California for a while right now, because we have not been governed by a moral governor,” he told the church. “A Christian is involved in civics. A lot of people say, ‘separation of church and state.’ You don’t know your history. We have a responsibility to make our voices heard.”

      He prompted his congregants: “You know what to do on Sept. 14. There’s two questions. No. 1, do you want to recall Gov. Newsom, yes or no. And the answer is?”

      Before he finished the question, the crowd drowned out his voice with their raucous answer: “Yes!”

      “You said it, I didn’t,” the pastor said. (Three weeks earlier, Fairrington told his congregation: “Do your job as Christians on Sept. 14 and vote yes on recalling an immoral governor!”)

      Even if they don’t explicitly tell congregants how to vote, faith institutions can hold enormous sway with how leaders speak about political issues, Blankholm said.

      “I think it’s important that we recognize how substantive is the difference between someone saying, ‘Vote for Gavin Newsom,’ or ‘Vote against the recall of Gavin Newsom,’ or ‘Vote for the recall of Gavin Newsom’ and someone saying everything but that,” Blankholm said. “We obviously live in an era of incredibly complex political speech.”

      Crews combed through terrain for weeks just to find Brian Laundrie’s remains in the low-lying area of the Myakkahatchee Creek Environmental Park.

      Skeletal remains were found in an area previously underwater.

      Now, experts have to determine how Laundrie, 23, died. Was it suicide, homicide, accidental or natural?

      The Laundrie family attorney told WINK News on Friday night that there was no manner or cause of death determined. The remains will be sent to an anthropologist for further testing.

      “They’re going to be looking potentially for what kind of trauma might be associated with these remains, or any remains out there,” said Sara Ayers-Rigsby, regional director of the Southeast and Southwest Regions of the Florida Public Archaeology Network.

      The experts working with the Medical Examiner are forensic anthropologists.

      Ayers-Rigsby, an archeologist, has a good idea of what the plan of attack is.

      First, she said, “figure out or ascertain you know where, how far have and if these remains have been moved at all.”

      And if they were moved, was it by the wildlife in the reserve or by floodwaters?

      The FBI said the remains were underwater for weeks.

      “On the one hand, you might encounter better preservation, right, because the material isn’t exposed to oxygen, so that can perhaps help,” Ayers-Rigsby said.

      But on the other hand, Ayers-Rigsby said water could deteriorate a body.

      And so could alligators.

      The forensic anthropologists and other experts will try to determine what happened by looking at the soil around the remains.

      “If an area is flooded, and it brings a lot of mud, that’s something that happens in a relatively short period of time. So they could be looking into what kind of sedimentation and what kind of soil processes are happening at the site,” Ayers-Rigsby said.

      Furloughed federal workers are bracing to miss their second paycheck and employee unions are warning of increasingly dire consequences since the partial government shutdown began last month, as officials signal the stalemate in Washington has no end in sight.

      The government partially shut down in December after Congress failed to pass a spending package funding parts of the government, forcing some federal workers to be furloughed or work without pay. President Trump is demanding $5.7 billion for a barrier on the southern border with Mexico as part of a spending deal, something Democratic leaders are rejecting outright.

      TRUMP SAYS HE WILL GIVE STATE OF THE UNION AFTER SHUTDOWN IS OVER

      Those whose jobs are affected by the shutdown are now speaking out more forcefully about the impact on their own lives but also safety issues for the broader public.

      “This is already the longest government shutdown in the history of the United States and there is no end in sight,” said a joint statement released Wednesday by leaders of three associations representing air traffic controllers, airline pilots and flight attendants.

      It continued: “In our risk averse industry, we cannot even calculate the level of risk currently at play, nor predict the point at which the entire system will break. It is unprecedented.”

      The FBI Agents Association, which advocates for 14,000 active and former FBI Special agents, also released a report earlier this week of grievances from FBI employees, including one who said the shutdown “has eliminated any ability to operate.”

      “It’s bad enough to work without pay, but we can only conduct administrative functions while doing it. The fear is our enemies know they can run freely,” said an anonymous agent, described as someone working on both overt and undercover counterintelligence matters.

      On Friday, affected federal workers are set to miss their second paycheck since the partial government shutdown began. Every former secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, including former White House chief of staff John Kelly, sent a letter to the president and Congress on Thursday asking them restore the department’s funding.

      CRACKS IN BORDER WALL RESISTANCE? PELOSI FACING DEM PRESSURE TO DEAL WITH TRUMP, END SHUTDOWN

      “DHS employees who protect the traveling public, investigate and counter terrorism, and protect critical infrastructure should not have to rely on the charitable generosity of others for assistance in feeding their families and paying their bills while they steadfastly focus on the mission at hand,” the letter said. “This is unconscionable.”

      Among those affected are tens of thousands of members of the U.S. Coast Guard, the only branch of the U.S. Armed Forces affected by the partial government shutdown because it falls under the purview of the Department of Homeland Security, rather than the Department of Defense, like other branches.

      A sign that officials are preparing for the possibility of the shutdown continuing for months: White House acting chief of staff Mick Mulvaney is asking agencies to provide him a list of programs that will be jeopardized if the lapse in funding continues through the spring.

      “Prudent management means planning and preparing for events without known end-dates,” a senior Office and Management Budget official told Fox News. “As OMB continues to manage this partial lapse in appropriations, unfunded agencies are being asked to continue to share with OMB an ongoing list of programs that could be impacted within the coming weeks.”

      In Congress, two different votes are set for Thursday in the Republican-controlled Senate with the aim to end the partial government shutdown. One vote will be on a bill reflecting Trump’s demand for border wall funding in exchange for temporary protections for some immigrants.

      A second vote is set for a measure already passed by the Democrat-controlled House to reopen the government through Feb. 8. It doesn’t allow money for a border wall but gives bargainers more time to talk.

      Neither bill is expected to advance under Senate rules requiring at least 60 votes, leaving unclear whether this would spur revived talks regarding a resolution.

      The Senate votes come as Trump announced late Wednesday that he will postpone his State of the Union address until after the partial government shutdown ends.

      But he reiterated Thursday on Twitter that he will not “cave” on border wall demands.

      While Democratic leaders in Congress say they have no interest in making a deal with Trump to end the government shutdown if it includes new money for his border wall, some cracks have begun to show. A White House official said Thursday that Vice President Mike Pence is heading to Capitol Hill on Thursday to meet with Senate GOP lawmakers.

      The House Blue Dog coalition, the group of moderate Democrats, has written to leadership asking Congress to hold a “bipartisan, bicameral summit that brings together House and Senate leaders to hold a substantive, transparent discussion on a path forward to reopen the government.”

      “That discussion should be designed to produce legislation that will quickly pass both chambers of Congress,” the group said.

      And some House Democrats are considering drafting a new proposal to provide Trump with options for securing the border that don’t involve a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York said Wednesday that personnel, technology and other options “are the things that would actually improve our border security.”
