The brave trudge in stock prices was brought to an abrupt halt at the 18,000 peak in the Sensex and 5,450 level in the Nifty. The Nifty slipped 128 points while the Sensex fell 353 points last week. Doubts that the rally is not justified on fundamental grounds, sluggish growth in June GDP numbers and some gloomy statements from the RBI Governor contributed to pushing stock prices lower.
Expiry of August derivative contracts on Thursday added to the volatility. Index put call ratio has declined below one implying that the bears were caught on the wrong foot in this settlement. Global cues were largely benign with investors looking at the actions of various central banks to judge the trajectory in equity prices.
Volumes in the cash segment improved in the later part of the week. Derivative turnover on the NSE was at record high of over Rs 2,50,000 crore on the day of the derivative expiry. Foreign institutional investors were net buyers in equity through the week.
Stocks are likely to find it a struggle to move higher from these levels as the mounting pile of negatives is hard to sweep under the carpet. Oscillators in the daily chart have declined from the overbought zone in to the bearish zone, denoting a reversal in the short-term uptrend. Weekly oscillators are also dipping though they continue to be in the bullish region.
A look at the monthly chart of the Sensex is necessary to show us where we are from a long-term perspective. The index is shackled in a wide-trading band between 15,500 and 18,500 since the beginning of 2012. This move appears to be part of the long-term correction that began from the 21,108 peak. Since the up-moves within this correction are moving close to the 61.8 per cent retracement, this could be a triangle or double three in the making. As is wont with corrective sideways moves, the pattern is not apparent until it is complete.
But the most plausible count now points towards the action getting narrower in the months ahead, probably between 16,000 and 18,000 before the index forms a long-term bottom. The index needs to record a strong close below 15,500 to negate this view.
For the short-term, we have been reiterating that there is a convergence of targets around 18,000 in the Sensex. Reversal from this zone could imply that the move from 15,748 is now complete. But the index will need to record a strong close below 17,000 to confirm this. Subsequent medium-term supports are 16,770 and 16,528.
Short-term resistances for the index will be at 17,734 and 17,973. Targets on sharp move beyond 17,972 would be 18,121 and 18,319.
The Nifty too recorded a long black candle in the weekly chart that completed an evening star pattern. This is a reversal pattern but we need confirmation from next week's action. Short-term supports for the index are at 5,190 and 5,032. Short-term traders can hold their long positions as long as the index trades above the first support.
Reversal from this level can take the index higher to 5,367 or 5,448 in the short-term. Target on a strong move beyond 5,450 is 5,606.
The area around 5,200 is also a strong medium-term support for the Nifty. Supports on move below this level are 5,111 and 5,032.
Global equity markets took a small step lower last week. Absence of any major news development made investors focus on Ben Bernanke's speech in Jackson Hole towards the weekend. The Federal Reserve Chairman's promise that he would do all he could to support the market appeased investors. This led to expectation that there could be another round of quantitative easing in the offing.
CBOE VIX moved to 18 as risk aversion rose last week. The Dow declined to the intra-week low of 12,979 before reversing slightly on Friday. We stay with the view that short-term supports stay at 12,800 and 12,500. Short-term trend will reverse only on a close below the first support. But as explained earlier, it is possible that the current decline pulls the index all the way down to 12,500 or even 12,000 as the index moves in to a medium-term consolidation range.
The dollar index declined further and this helped gold move to $1,691 by the end of the week. Gold had short-term resistance at $1,675. Since the metal has moved beyond this hurdle, it can move on to $1,720 or $1,770 in the upcoming weeks. Medium-term trend will turn positive only on strong move beyond $1,770, paving the way for a rally to a new high.

Africa is a continent enmeshed in serial entropy the creation of entropic institutions. Although the concrete basis of life is entropic and a finite process, the level of disorder in the continent has eroded the socio-economic and political fabric of the people. Different measures have been put in place to address biophysical problems associated with this negative entropy through institutions of sustainable development governance. However, sustainability regime faces serious challenges not just from without, but from within. The reinvention of neoliberal wheels as sustainable development instead of limiting this developmental shortfall is redefining processes, changing the how, when and what policy makers do to stem damages inflicted on the biosphere. The paper analysis the challenge of sustainable development governance framed within the general approach of political ecology linking environmental change to policies and institutions. We note that there are contradictions and challenges inherent in Africa's quest of transiting to a post fossil fuel future. Poverty and need are major impediments to Africa's development as lopsided policy process in an ecologically finite world is bringing the continent to its biophysical limits. For that, Africa faces multiform tension between green economy and sustainability with deleterious consequences for the green development trajectory. We sum that the major challenge Africans are now with is not just how to formulate appropriate policies but how domestic sources of fund for green development can be explored such that their weak economic foundation is not completely eroded.

On September 6, 2018, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that an employee who consents to a background check cannot pursue a claim in federal court based on a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act's (FCRA) disclosure and authorization requirement. This decision is a game-changer for employers defending FCRA claims in the Eighth Circuit, which encompasses Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
The FCRA requires employers to provide a clear, conspicuous, and standalone disclosure before procuring background checks from consumer reporting agencies. The FCRA also enables aggrieved plaintiffs to recover statutory damages of between $100 to $1000 for each violation of the statute plus punitive damages. Therefore, a few too many words or a misplaced release on a standardized disclosure form distributed to all applicants and employees could expose an employer to class litigation and six- or seven-figure damages. As a result, FCRA class actions are one of the latest fads for plaintiff's firms, who are bringing large class claims and demanding (and, in many cases, receiving) huge damages from employers.
The Eighth Circuit's decision presents a substantial barrier to the continued pursuit of these claims. The court concluded that an employee who consents to a background check cannot show the type of "intangible injury" necessary to establish standing, which is a Constitutional prerequisite for a claim to be pursued in federal court. Significantly, the court reached this conclusion despite the fact that the disclosure form at issue included release language which other courts have found violative of FCRA.
So, what does this mean as a practical matter for employers?
If you receive a FCRA lawsuit, you should consider an immediate motion to dismiss on this basis.
If you are currently defending against FCRA disclosure claims in the Eighth Circuit, this decision may provide a basis for an immediate dismissal. Significantly, the issue of standing goes to the federal court's subject matter jurisdiction and can be raised at any time during litigation, including on appeal.
If you are using consumer reporting agencies to conduct background checks, don't abandon your clear, conspicuous, and standalone disclosures! These are still required by FCRA. Plus, the Federal Trade Commission, which is responsible for enforcing the FCRA, could still take action, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has concluded that employees have standing to assert FCRA disclosure claims even where they have consented to the background check. Therefore, it's a good idea to ensure that your forms are compliant with FCRA.
This decision is not the last word outside the Eighth Circuit and may not be the last word within the Eighth Circuit. Both the Eighth Circuit and the Seventh Circuit have issued decisions that indicate that applicants and employees will rarely—if ever—be able to show standing to pursue FCRA disclosure claim in federal court when a disclosure (albeit infirm) is provided and consent obtained. As discussed above, the Ninth Circuit reached the opposite conclusion. In light of this circuit split, there is a real possibility that the Supreme Court takes up an appeal from the Eighth Circuit's decision.

A joint effort of citizen scientists and professional astronomers has led to the first reported case of a planet orbiting twin suns that in turn is orbited by a second distant pair of stars.
Aided by volunteers using the Planethunters.org website, a Yale-led international team of astronomers identified and confirmed discovery of the phenomenon, called a circumbinary planet in a four-star system.
Only six planets are known to orbit two stars, according to researchers, and none of these are orbited by distant stellar companions.
Dubbed PH1, the planet was first identified by citizen scientists participating in Planet Hunters, a Yale-led program that enlists members of the public to review astronomical data from NASA's Kepler spacecraft for signs of planets. It is the project's first confirmed planet discovery.
The volunteers — Kian Jek of San Francisco and Robert Gagliano of Cottonwood, Arizona — spotted faint dips in light caused by the planet as it passed in front of its parent stars, a common method of finding extrasolar planets. Schwamb, a Yale postdoctoral researcher, led the team of professional astronomers that confirmed the discovery and characterized the planet, following observations from the Keck telescopes on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. PH1 is a gas giant with a radius about 6.2 times that of Earth, making it a bit bigger than Neptune.
PH1 orbits outside the 20-day orbit of a pair of eclipsing stars that are 1.5 and 0.41 times the mass of the Sun. It revolves around its host stars roughly every 138 days. Beyond the planet's orbit at about 1000 AU (roughly 1000 times the distance between Earth and the Sun) is a second pair of stars orbiting the planetary system.
The paper is available on the arXiv preprint server and has been submitted to Astrophysical Journal. A team from Johns Hopkins University has been working on a separate paper on aspects of the planetary system.
The research was supported by NASA and the National Science Foundation Astronomy and Astrophysics Postdoctoral Fellowship.

Kim Little: Portrait of an Artist- Arseblog Exclusive Interview
There are few players in women's football, let alone the WSL, who have the sort of peer, media and supporter respect that Arsenal captain Kim Little has earned during a glittering career. The 32-year-old sat down exclusively with Arseblog News to talk about her formative years in football, her career in Scotland, England and the US, where she gets that dribbling ability from and whether it's true that she keeps spreadsheets of her physical outputs in training…
Kim Little describes her childhood in rural Scotland as a very sporty one but it was clear to her from an early age that football was her biggest passion. "I had the opportunity to play a lot of sports when I was younger but I enjoyed football a lot more," Kim explains to Arseblog News. "I grew up in the northeast of Scotland, Aberdeen was the nearest city and it was about forty minutes away. It was quite a rural setting and there were lots of little villages. We formed a team called Buchan girls with the girls from all the local villages."
Kim's family and friends also featured in her embryonic years playing football, she describes a real community feel with young boys and girls in Mintlaw, Aberdeenshire. "I played a lot with my youngest brother, who is two years younger than me, and with my dad in the garden. I had a friend called Leanne and I played a lot of football with her and she had three older brothers who played, so I just played football all the time. We would go and watch the boys team and it had a real community feel, the clubs were all run by parents or brothers and the girls would join in."
Kim says she rarely encountered any opposition to playing with boys, the type of which many of her peers have faced during their development. "My experiences were generally really good. I think there was only one time that a boy said to me 'this is a boy's club, why are you here?' But I think it only happened once and so it's sat in my mind. My experience of playing with boys and girls was that it was really inclusive. I was around it from such a young age and I could play, so I just naturally fitted in.
"I played with the local boys club and the girls team at the same time for a little while. I was playing every day with both. I played at school, I played for the boys' club and then I played with Buchan girls all at the same time. Eventually when I got older I was just involved with the girls team and there weren't joint leagues and it became more competitive."

Kim eventually came to the attention of Scotland's age group coaches before being picked up by Hibernian at the age of 15. In keeping with her character, Little doesn't remember any great revelation about becoming a professional, she simply took each step in her stride. "I was playing for the national team from the age of 13 so I was seen by Hibs playing for Scotland. I was travelling with the national team and being seen by different coaches.
"I signed for Hibs when I was 15 and I knew a lot of girls from the national teams. I travelled to Edinburgh from the northeast every week so I guess it was getting serious then but as a kid, you just do the next thing and don't really think about it. But just by virtue of the travelling it was taking a lot more of my time."
Little is revered as a fantastic all round player but most would point to her dribbling skills and her ability in tight spaces as one of her most notable attributes. Again, Kim doesn't recall a big lightbulb moment where she realised that she was a great dribbler, she simply remembers honing her craft through volume.
"I just practiced so much as a kid. But I think my height means I have a low centre of gravity, I'm quite near the ground! It helps me to get out of tight spaces. I played so much football as a kid so I was playing five-a-side, seven-a-side, indoor football and those small sided games really helped me to develop. When I played 11-a-side I was able to adapt to the space. It's as much about awareness of space, your body and your opponent as it is technical ability."
Disgusting😳 https://t.co/Sxo6aLqNkv

Another of Little's most renowned attributes is her professionalism, which her teammates describe with awe. Not just her teammates either, her coaches are effusive about her work ethic in training. Just last month, Jonas Eidevall gushed about her dedication. "She usually runs the most and that goes from warm-up to the last minute of the game.
"She puts that in on a consistent basis, on an excellent basis every day. You could never point the finger at her and say 'you didn't do your job today.' She prides herself on it and that culture rubs off on other players. She is the perfect example of someone leading by example and showing others how it can be done and how it should be done." I ask Kim where this insatiable work ethic comes from.
🗣 Beth Mead: "For me, Kim Little is literally an insane human being, footballer and professional. She does everything to an absolutely tee and that's why she's still playing at the top of her game now. She really inspired me to do everything right."

"I think there are a couple of reasons," she considers. "I came into the game when it was part-time but now it's professional. When it was amateur I trained on my own a lot, it gave me discipline. I wasn't training daily with a team until later in my career. I had to train myself to compete. My dad has always been very active, he always had an exercise routine when we were younger. I think I picked that up subconsciously too, I think he gave me an intrinsic motivation to work hard and push myself."
Some players reported that Kim's professionalism extends beyond the training field and into Microsoft Excel, where she rigorously plans training routines and tracks her physical outputs. "I keep a diary, I suppose," she laughs. "I like to know what I have done and what I am going to do next. I like things to be planned! I am quite organised as a personality trait."
🗣 Leah Williamson: "I think especially with Kim [Little] being my captain at #Arsenal, she's an incredible leader and an incredible person. We're very different but there's definitely things I've learnt from her and I will continue to do so."

Kim arrived at Arsenal as a 17-year-old from Hibs and immediately slotted into a team that featured club legends like Jayne Ludlow, Kelly Smith, Rachel Yankey and Ciara Grant. She says her compatriot Julie Fleeting was instrumental in bringing her to the club. "I was playing for the national team when I was 16 and Julie Fleeting was playing at the time and I think that was the connection.
"I signed in early 2008. I talk to the girls a lot about my memories of playing with players like Jayne Ludlow, Kelly Smith, Rachel Yankey and Emma Byrne. I think my first game was away at Leeds, we played a 442 and I played in midfield next to Kelly Smith. When you're young you just crack on and football came quite naturally to me so it was easy to play with those great players."
I ask Kim whether she took things in her stride as easily at that age as she does not. "When I look back now I am sure I must have been intimidated, they were all strong characters with such a history of success. I was in a position where I was going to naturally be pushed and I think that helped give me dedication and motivation." I then ask Kim whether she considers that now, that's her. She is in the position that the likes of Byrne, Yankey, Smith, Grant and Ludlow were in, that she is the reference point for players that come to Arsenal.
"Occasionally, though I think it's probably more to do with age," she says modestly. "I think I am the oldest player here now! It's just part of the evolution of your career, you're the young player, then you're in your peak years and then, all of a sudden, you're the experienced one. I only occasionally think that it makes me a feel a bit old. Wait until a few years' time when you're asking Lotte, Leah and players like that what it's like to be the oldest players in the team!"
In 2013, Kim left Arsenal to join Seattle Reign in the NWSL. It was a time of evolution for the Gunners when their dominance was coming to an end and there was a high turnover of players. The club went into a transition period. Little says that didn't really have a bearing on her decision to leave and take up a challenge Stateside.
"I was 22 or 23 and I wanted to go and have another experience. I knew I wanted to do that and the opportunity came up because the former Arsenal coach Laura Harvey had moved out there the year before. It was a natural move because I knew Laura really well. It made the move quite easy and she put together a great team there with players like Hope Solo, Megan Rapinoe, Nahomi Kawasumi- it had a really global feel and it was great fun to be a part of."

Kim played for Seattle Reign for three years, she was voted the NWSL MVP (Most Valuable Player) in 2014, as well as winning the Golden Boot. She was voted into the NWSL Best XI in 2014 and 2015. After three years in the States, Little returned to Arsenal under coach Pedro Losa. It wasn't her only offer, of course, but it was the most attractive for her.
"I looked at different offers at the time but when it came down to it, I wanted to come back to Arsenal. Arsenal had been through a transition of being the dominant club to having more competition, I wanted to try and get us back to a place where we were competing and back in Europe more consistently."
In 2018-19, the Scot captained the Gunners to their first league title in seven years. She had won four league titles with Arsenal before moving to Seattle but says that the 2019 title win was the best of her Arsenal career. "The other league title wins were from a different time when we were so dominant. 2018-19 was very different, it was our first season with Joe (Montemurro) and it felt a bit like a new era.
"We knew we had to get back to that level and being more consistent. We had a really good start to that season which gave us a cushion, we had a lot of injuries that season, I was out for three months as well and we lost Jordan and Dan Carter, Lia Walti. It was an emotional year but it was so rewarding. The competition was so much higher and it takes a lot more to win the league now."
It wasn't plain sailing for Little when she first returned to North London however. Soon after re-signing, she ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in training and missed nine months. In typical fashion, Kim took the injury in her stride. "My teammates are always surprised at how I take to setbacks like that," she points out. "I'm not overly emotional about it.
"I tend to be logical and pragmatic about things. I maybe had one or two moments where I felt a bit sad but I moved on quickly. That's my personality, I just went through the process step by step. From training alone a lot when I was younger I didn't find the process of isolation big injuries bring as difficult as other players do. When I got other injuries later that weren't as big, it helped me to keep them in perspective."
Little is one of the most unflappable characters you could wish to meet, which certainly comes across in her football. She has a very low profile off the pitch and is not particularly active on social networks, preferring to keep herself to herself. I ask the Gunners captain how she responds to compliments from her peers, particularly when players like Hope Solo, who do not dish out compliments easily, describe her as 'the best player I have ever played with.'
.@hopesolo says Kim Little is going to be super important for Scotland.

"I suppose I get a little shy and embarrassed by those comments but it is also really nice to hear." In keeping with her remarks, Kim shuffles in her seat a little nervously and it takes slightly longer for the words to come compared to my other questions. "When you have players like Hope who has achieved so much in the game at the very highest level for such a long time, if I didn't take that compliment there would be something wrong! Comments like that make me feel like I am doing the right things."
Occasionally I have seen a glimpse of another Kim Little. When I spoke to her a couple of weeks ago after the Champions League defeat to Wolfsburg, I could tell that she was struggling to contain her disappointment. I remind her of the time I asked her for a post-match interview after a defeat by Chelsea in October 2019 and she told me that she needed to take a shower and collect her thoughts for a few minutes.
After Arsenal won the title in May 2019, Kim accidentally dropped a swear live on BT Sport when describing the contribution of her friend and teammate Emma Mitchell, who had just scored a late winner against Manchester City. "That was Mitch bringing that out in me!" Kim interjects with a laugh.
There you go, it's so funny 😂 😂 pic.twitter.com/iSdWPoPoVa
— Belinda (@Belindaaawfc) April 12, 2022
I ask her whether there is a dark side to Kim Little that the public doesn't see and how she generally carries her fierce competitiveness alongside a shy, almost diffident character on the surface. "I am generally calm, it builds up inside me but I can control it," she ponders. "I think before I speak mostly and I process things a lot internally.
"Football is intense and you can be a bit more spontaneous, it doesn't happen often but sometimes it comes out in me, if I don't think things are good enough in training or those moments of high pressure and it's natural to be more expressive. It happens to me every now and then, I can be fiery when I need to be."
While Kim tends to keep a lid on her emotions, there's no concealing her talent and whether or not she is fiery through her actions, there is little doubt that on the pitch, the Gunners captain brings the heat.

I love Kim. A great person and an amazing player. So professional in everything she does. My favourite player.
Reply to Torterrier
Also, a really nice interview with her.
Great article, thanks Tim. Being a relatively new Arsenal fan, it's great to read and learned about all the extra awesomeness on top of the awesomenes I was already aware of!
That embedded tweet of Leah RT footage of Kim against Coventry is such a great one, I'm sure it was that move that I saw Katie react to at the time from the other side of the pitch – her reaction was like that 'mind blown' emoji. It was a great moment.
Daniel Wynne
it really sneaks up on you but its a funny moment when you realise even big players who seem to have been around for ever and done everything are younger than you
Zoe Waterfield
Kim is quite simply one of the best female players l have ever seen and lm so, so glad she plays for Arsenal 👌
Jocelyn Houghton
She is just the best. I live in Seattle, and I started supporting the Reign in 2015 when Kim was playing for us, and she was a massive draw. What a privilege to watch her play! And with Jess Fishlock – they had a great relationship on the pitch. A real shame Jess didn't get on Team GB for the Olympics – would love to see them play together again. My two favorite footballers!
Thanks for the great interview, Tim!
Gunner H
Absolutely love this interview/article, Tim! I first developed an interest in women's football viewing the London Olympics, when I noticed one player who seemed to be a cut above the rest, Kim of course. She is so professional, so dedicated and determined, and such a good role model to her team-mates as a player and captain. Arsenal are fortunate to have Kim Little. She has every ability there is – midfield playmaker, goal scorer and provider, strong tackler, visionary, leadership and she always seems to pop up as the last line of defence at critical moments. Oh, and she scores… Read more »

Gates hasn't been seen in public since he and Melinda announced their split back on May 3, other than to appear at a virtual event with the US Chamber of Commerce Wednesday.
The 65-year-old was also seen sporting his wedding band during that appearance.
It was not clear where he was during the Zoom call but he is understood to have been staying at the exclusive golf complex The Vintage Club in Indian Wells, California, for the last three months.
The Vintage Club costs $250,000 to join. It boasts a spa, restaurants and two 18-hole golf courses, dubbing itself 'one of the United States' most prestigious' golf clubs.
Other members include Charles Koch and Dennis Washington.
Gates bought a home there in 1990 for $12.5 million. That is said to have six bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
Melinda and Bill have given no details about their split, but Melinda wrote that the marriage is 'irretrievably broken' in divorce filings.
She is said to have began consulting divorce lawyers as far back as October 2019.

While they have both kept a low profile since the split, the couple's 25-year-old daughter Jennifer was seen competing in a horse show in New York on Thursday.
The keen equestrian took home the second place prize in her first competition at Old Salem Farm in North Salem, New York, in addition to a the third place prize in her second competition.
Jennifer has also shown public support for both of parents in recent weeks. She posted a photo on Instagram on Mothers' Day with her mom and siblings writing: 'Our queen, hero and mom- every day.'
She also shared an Instagram story of herself posing with her billionaire father writing about 'quality time with family members.'
Since announcing their divorce, Gates has transferred more than $3billion in stock to Melinda.
In a move divorce experts say is highly unusual, Melinda has added top trust and estate lawyers to her legal team as the couple divide their combined $130billion in assets after 27 years of marriage.
Over the years Gates has repeatedly said that he would leave the children a mere $10million apiece – accounting for less than .008 percent of their parents' total wealth.
Gates has been rocked by a series of allegations ever since he and Melinda, 56, announced their divorce earlier this month.
It emerged this week that he had an affair with a female Microsoft worker back in 2000 while he was married to Melinda.
The Microsoft Founder spoke at a virtual event with the US Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday where his wedding ring was clearly visible
He was understood to have been based at The Vintage Club (above) in Indian Wells, California, for the last three months
The Wall Street Journal revealed he had an 'inappropriate' sexual relationship with a female staff member in 2000.
Gates was CEO of the company at the time. It is not clear what position or level of seniority the employee was.
The affair stayed a secret until 2019 when the employee wrote a letter to the board detailing what had happened and allegedly asking that Melinda read it.
The company opened an investigation into the claims.
While the investigation was still ongoing in March 2020, Gates shocked the business world by announcing he was resigning from his position on the company board.
The same day Gates stood down from the board of Berkshire Hathaway, run by his friend Warren Buffet.
Gates' spokeswoman confirmed this week he had an affair almost 20 years ago with a staff member and that the relationship ended 'amicably.'
She denied the affair was connected in any way to his abrupt departure from the board.
His behavior at Microsoft has come under closer scrutiny with claims from two female employees that he asked them out on dates and questions around the handling of accusations of sexual harassment against one of his closest aides.
Jennifer Gates, 25, posted a photograph with her billionaire father on her Instagram story on Thursday night
Jennifer posted this photo on Instagram on Mothers' Day of her mom and siblings writing: 'Our queen, hero and mom- every day'
Gates is said to have pursued several women working at Microsoft while he was married to Melinda.
The New York Times reported two separate instances where he asked female employees out on dates.
In one case, he is said to have asked out a Microsoft employee in 2006 after watching her make a presentation.
'If this makes you uncomfortable, pretend it never happened,' Gates emailed the employee, according to the Times. The woman took his advice and pretended it never happened.
A couple of years later, Gates then asked out an employee with the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The pair were in New York for a work trip, when he told her: 'I want to see you. Will you have dinner with me?'
The woman told the Times the approach made her feel uncomfortable, but she laughed it off. There was no expectation that the women would suffer professional repercussions for spurning Gates' advances, the Times reported.
It's not clear whether Melinda was aware of her husband's advances on other women.
However, she was aware of and unhappy with the handling of sexual harassment allegations against Michael Larson, one of Gates' key lieutenants and the manager of his personal fortune, the report said.
The couple are pictured with their three kids Jennifer (center), Rory (right) and Phoebe (left) in 2019. Since news of the split broke, Gates has been rocked by claims of inappropriate behavior during his time at Microsoft
Bill and Melinda Gates on their wedding day in 1994. This week it emerged Bill had an affair with a female Microsoft employee back in 2000
In 2017, a person wrote to Bill and Melinda to complain that Larson was harassing a female staff member at a bicycle shop part-owned by a venture capital firm Rally Capital, owned by the former married couple.
The woman reached a settlement in 2018, signing a non-disclosure agreement and receiving a payout.
Gates' spokeswoman Bridgitt Arnold denied Gates ever mistreated employees in a statement to the Times.
However, Melinda was reportedly unhappy with the outcome and ordered an independent investigation.
According to the New York Times, Larson was placed on leave during the investigation but was reinstated and still looks after Gates' vast fortune.
'It is extremely disappointing that there have been so many untruths published about the cause, the circumstances and the timeline of Bill Gates's divorce,' Arnold said. 'Your characterization of his meetings with Epstein and others about philanthropy is inaccurate, including who participated.
'The claim of mistreatment of employees is also false. The rumors and speculation surrounding Gates's divorce are becoming increasingly absurd, and it's unfortunate that people who have little to no knowledge of the situation are being characterized as 'sources.'
Questions continue to swirl around Gates' relationship with late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein (above) – which was said to be a source of contention to wife Melinda
Melinda reportedly began consulting divorce lawyers as far back as October 2019. She did so around the same time as Bill's friendship with billionaire pedophile Epstein hit the headlines.
The two men's friendship began in 2011, three years after Epstein had pleaded guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor. Gates continued to spend time with Epstein despite Melinda reportedly expressing concerns.
There is no suggestion that Gates did anything wrong.
While allegations of inappropriate behavior continue to swirl round Gates, new details have also emerged about the culture inside the tech behemoth he set up in 1975.
DailyMail.com revealed this week new details of a Microsoft discrimination lawsuit filed in 2015, where women claimed they were 'ignored, abused, or degraded' and male bosses ran a 'good ol' boy culture' at the company.
The suit claimed that Microsoft 'accepts and tolerates abuse and toxic behavior, especially towards females.'
Employees code-named a project 'Wrecking Ball' in honor of Miley Cyrus' raunchy music video and wrote an email called 'Working Backwards' filled with stereotypes about women,' the case claimed.
Employees were called 'p****' and c***' and former chief executive Steve Ballmer was referred to as 'our limp d*** CEO,' the suit claimed.
One woman complained about being asked by a male co-worker why she was 'dressed like a wh**e' while another man bombarded a woman with messages offering to 'spank' her.
Among the litany of incidents was a man who groped four women in a single night at a work function yet an internal investigation found he didn't breach anti-harassment rules, writing it off as 'poor interpersonal awareness'.
The lawsuit claimed: 'The flagrant and repeated incidents of sexual misconduct toward women at Microsoft reflects the corporate culture in which women are undervalued and underpaid'.

Former Hawkeye brings lessons from gridiron to chiropractic

NORTH LIBERTY– In 2008, Iowa native Mike Humpal was on his way to a career in the NFL. The student-athlete for the Iowa Hawkeyes had been enlisted to the Pittsburgh Steelers during the sixth round draft that spring. During a preseason game, however, the young linebacker suffered a spinal cord concussion, a neck injury that resulted in being placed on injured reserve for the season.
"In games when you're tackling guys, running full-speed into 350-pound linemen, that isn't necessarily the best thing for your neck long-term," he remarked.
The concussion, in combination with recurring injuries dating back to his college career, resulting in arm weakness from the continuing nerve injury, would bring his football aspirations to a halt.
Following his departure from the NFL, Humpal, who earned a Health and Sports Studies degree at the University of Iowa during his 2003 to 2007 enrollment, went into sports medicine device sales. But he knew his calling resided in the realm of physical health he studied in college, and would allow him to assist others by drawing from his own personal experiences.
"I saw becoming a doctor of chiropractic as an avenue to share my knowledge in human performance and to help people, whether treating them or getting them in the hands of the proper healthcare professional, and giving them an honest approach every patient deserves," he said. "Chiropractic is another piece of the healthcare pie today, where the primary focus is putting the patient first."
The doctor also emphasized the significance of chiropractic treatment and how, as a young athlete, he didn't fully appreciate its value to his spinal health and well-being.
"I kind of missed the boat and didn't utilize chiropractic as much as maybe I could have, as far as staying ahead of the game or returning from injury more quickly by maximizing range of motion and calming the nervous system down," Humpal explained. "Because a lot of times you're young and you're invincible, or even in your 20s and 30s, you don't pay attention to those minor aches and pains and then they go away after a day or so. All that accumulation builds up, and then eventually something happens all the sudden and you're going backwards or sitting on the sideline."
"Prehab is easier than rehab," he summarized.
Humpal Chiropractic, LLC, located at 1295 Jordan St., Suite 6B in North Liberty, opened its doors January 2. The doctor incorporates a variety of techniques not common among all chiropractors.
"Most are taught the same techniques, yet we all kind of have our own fingerprint so to speak," Humpal said of his field of medicine. For him, this means utilizing traditional hands-on adjustments, also known as manipulation, while also incorporating muscle work, active-release techniques and looking at the soft tissue component of injuries and pain.
With a certification in Active Release Technique of the Spine and Flexion-Distraction Technique, he utilizes trigger point therapy when needed and is extensively trained in manual adjusting techniques including Gonstead, Diversified, Thompson, Motion Palpation and extremity manipulation from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport. Humpal also provides neuromuscular electrical stimulation, interferential stimulation, Russian stimulation, cryotherapy, thermotherapy and manual traction, as well as postural and therapeutic exercises. He says the growing body of evidence suggests chiropractic care is best suited for low back pain, neck pain and headaches, while also effective in treating conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow.
Dr. Humpal also pointed out his ability to take chiropractic mobile, offering the flexibility to bring on-site care to businesses. This can help reduce work injuries, lower employer healthcare costs and improve performance in the workforce.
The doctor says his practice is a culmination of academic training combined with lessons learned firsthand on the gridiron.
"I wanted to get into a profession where I could share some of my experiences, speak positivity into people's lives and ask them, 'You know what? Do you want to be at home sitting around or would you rather get up and moving, doing the things you want to do?'" he said. "That's what life's about, and that's what we're here to help you do."
Humpal also emphasizes chiropractic treatment isn't just for athletes, as he caters to young, old, pregnant and everyone in between. Above all, he's made it his goal to help the community "keep moving."
"That is the name of the game. When people come in to my office, I want to get them moving," he insisted. "Sometimes we have to take a step backwards to go forward initially, but that's essentially the treatment approach— to get all the joints and tissues in and around the spine moving well."
The doctor carries into his practice lessons from various athletic mentors, including his football strength coach, Chris Doyle of the University of Iowa. These include staying on top of exercise, diet, rest, positive thinking and taking time to appreciate the small things in life.
"The amount of knowledge that guy has and the things he preached to us when we were playing that I now find myself saying to patients— I was learning that stuff way before I ever thought it would be applicable in my professional career," Humpal said.
While setbacks, injuries and other circumstances arise in life, "stay in the game; keep going," he recited. "Keep a positive attitude, focus on the task at hand and prioritize your health. If you don't take care of yourself, you're not doing yourself any favors to be there for your loved ones or be able to roll around with your kids and play catch with them in the backyard."
Humpal, who resides in North Liberty with his wife, Lindsey; son, Parker and daughter, Nora, said he's excited to be giving back to the community that provided such a strong foundation for his life and career.
"It's not my turn anymore, it's everyone else's turn. This community did such a great job supporting me as a student-athlete, as they do for all," he said. "I was fortunate to be a Hawkeye having played football here, and now I'm just turning the page and saying, 'Hey, thanks for your support.' It's fun to reminisce about those days with different patients, but now it's also so much more rewarding and exciting to help them when they need it."

Home/Industry News/Walter Scott: DigitalGlobe Backs Commercial Remote Sensing Bill
Walter Scott: DigitalGlobe Backs Commercial Remote Sensing Bill
Jay Clemens May 14, 2015	Industry News, News
DigitalGlobe has expressed its support for a commercial remote sensing bill authored by Reps. Jim Bridenstine (R-Ok) and Ed Perlmutter (D-Co).
The Commercial Remote Sensing Act of 2015 mandates the examination of the Commerce Department's regulatory workload and the submission of reports on commercial remote sensing license applications to Congress, DigitalGlobe said Wednesday.
That bill would require the commerce secretary to make the annual report in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Advisory Committee on Commercial Remote Sensing and other agencies.
"Updates to U.S. commercial remote sensing regulations and oversight are necessary to keep pace with the accelerating technological innovation that is spurring growth in our domestic industry," said Walter Scott, a DigitalGlobe executive vice president and general manager.
\"DigitalGlobe fully supports the passage of the Commercial Remote Sensing Act of 2015 and applauds Reps. Bridenstine and Perlmutter for their leadership on this important issue."

Blue Origin, a space company owned by Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, used a capsule with updated crew systems during the company's 14th mission with the New Shepard rocket. The updated capsule featured new push-to-talk communications systems, noise reduction tools, cushioned wall linings, environmental systems and a crew alert system, Blue Origin said Thursday.
A Teledyne Technologies subsidiary has secured an $18M contract from Northrop Grumman to manufacture four more missile defense systems for the U.S. Navy's littoral combat ship mission package.
Lockheed Martin has sent the Orion capsule to NASA's exploration ground systems team for final preparations ahead of the unmanned Artemis I mission to lunar orbit that will launch later this year. The spacecraft concluded assembly operations and testing at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

There's no miracle product. I promise.
You probably wouldn't be able to tell by looking at me but I have not put a relaxer on my hair/scalp since November 2011. I know that I'm constantly sporting a short cut but I'm currently in a fun and sometimes frustrating grow out phase. As someone who has had a a fairly long head of hair and who is trying to reach that length again I wanted to share my number one piece of natural hair advice: Have patience and enjoy the process.
I understand that it's not the most innovative or exciting piece of advice you've ever heard but I promise that it's the realest that you'll ever hear. Nothing will grow your hair except for the time that is takes to actually grow your hair so don't try to rush the process. Each stage of your natural hair growth is unique and beautiful. I know that we all have Instagram #goals that we want to accomplish but I promise you will get there with time and patience.
