EEI Statement on EPRI's New Report on the Potential Impact of an Electromagnetic Pulse on the Electric Transmission System
WASHINGTON (April 30, 2019) – Edison Electric Institute (EEI) Vice President for Security and Preparedness Scott Aaronson today issued the following statement on the Electric Power Research Institute's (EPRI's) new report on the potential impact of an electromagnetic pulse (EMP) from a nuclear weapon on the electric transmission system.
"Protecting the nation's energy grid and ensuring a reliable and affordable supply of energy are top priorities for America's electric companies. How an EMP may impact critical infrastructure is an extremely complex issue that cannot be addressed with a one-size-fits-all solution. The Electric Power Research Institute launched a research project in 2016 to evaluate how EMPs could impact the energy grid. This research enables electric companies to make science-informed decisions for developing, testing, and deploying EMP-resistant grid components. Sound policy should be informed by sound science.
"As EPRI's study shows, a nuclear weapon detonating above the continental U.S. would impact the energy grid's transmission system, and we now have a better understanding of what those impacts could be. This research allows electric companies to better prioritize risk in order to enhance protection around critical assets.
"EPRI also tested mitigation strategies and was able to rule out options that don't work and to identify strategies that mitigate the impacts from an EMP. Multiple electric companies will be piloting those potential solutions to ensure that new mitigation strategies do not impact other energy grid equipment or undermine or conflict with mitigation and protective measures that already are in place.
"As critical infrastructure providers, EEI's member companies understand they are a target for adversaries. This is why we continue to improve our defenses, but also have focused on response and recovery to ensure any impacts to our systems are limited and that we can help protect our nation's security and the safety of our customers. Our strong industry-government partnership, coordinated through the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council, will continue to be key to accomplishing our shared goal of protecting the energy grid against all threats."

Published: 11:12 Tuesday 10 September 2019
The United States suffered an early blow for this week's Solheim Cup at Gleneagles after two-time major winner Stacy Lewis was forced to withdraw due to a back injury.
Her place in Juli Inkster's side has been filled by Ally McDonald, meaning the visitors now have six rookies in their team against Catriona Matthew's European side.
Two-time major winner Lewis is staying on to support the Americans as they bid to win the event for the third match in a row. Picture: Jane Barlow/PA Wire
Lewis, who won the 2013 Women's British Open at St Andrews, had been picked by Inkster along with Morgan Pressel to add some experience to her 12-strong line up.
However, the 34-year-old had been struggling with a back problem over the last week and appeared to know her fate sgtraight away after hitting a second shot at the 15th in a practice round on the PGA Centenary Course on Monday.
The four-time Solheim Cup player was in tears as Inkster, who was first on the scene, consoled her before some of her team-mates also arrived to give her a hug.
"I'm extremely disappointed not to be able to play," said Lewis. "I'm a competitor and I want to play, but I had a back injury flare up last week.
Ally McDonald has been drafted in to replace Lewis, taking the number of rookies on the US team to six. Picture: Jane Barlow/PA
"I've done everything I could possibly do over the last week to be ready to play. For my health and what I feel is in the best interest of the team, I decided to take myself out.
"I will take a different role with the team and will do whatever I can to help Team USA bring the Cup home."
Inkster, who is bidding for a record this win as captains after victories in 2015 and 2017, added: "Stacy is one of the fiercest competitors I have ever met.
"I know this was an incredibly tough decision for her, but she also has the team's best interests at heart.
"Stacy will stay with Team USA over the next week and will still be an incredible asset to our crew."
McDonald had been named as the first alternate when the team was finalised at the ened of August and is already on site at Gleneagles.
"When I had to choose an alternate, I knew Ally would be able to step up for the challenge. She's got a cool head but a fiery spirit. I know she'll bring her best to Team USA," added Inkster.

McDonald, who recorded three top-20 finishes in majors this year, said: "I didn't want to make the team this way, but when Juli told me what was going on with Stacy, I was ready to step into either role, if that was being here and being part of the experience or being ready to tee it up.
"It was just mentally preparing for either scenario. I'm obviously very excited to play. This was a goal of mine to play on this team."

Medical students forced to cut back on food, clothes and heating as cost of living crisis bites
The British Medical Association has found that 60% of medical students are having to cut down on the basics, with a similar amount (53%) working during term time to pay bills and keep themselves from going hungry.

Medical students are having to cut back on daily essentials such as food, clothing and heating their homes in order to survive the rising cost of living.
Millicent Metz has taken on two jobs to keep afloat alongside her final year of studying at medical school, working at a GP surgery and as a first aider.
The 24-year-old told Sky News: "Other than the NHS bursary, working and plus we get some money from Student Finance, it doesn't cover us for the average rent in London.
"How are you meant to pay rent with something that doesn't cover your rent?
"I don't know where they think this magic money comes from. And there's nowhere else we can go."
The British Medical Association has found that 60% of medical students are being forced to cut down on the basics, with a similar amount (53%) having to work during term time to pay bills and keep themselves from going hungry.
As well as struggling with monthly rent, Millicent points to the issue of upfront transport costs for medics too.

"For travel, we do get reimbursed by the NHS Bursary, but only at the end of the teaching block.
"So right now I'm at a GP surgery that's an hour bus ride away. If I get the bus every day it's £1.65 each way, four days a week - an expense I won't see for weeks.
"That's quite a lot of money."
Image: Millicent Metz has taken on two jobs to keep afloat
Just like all full-time undergraduates in England, for the first four years of their studies, medical students are entitled to £9,706 outside of London, or up to £12,667 in London if living away from home.
Medical students typically receive the NHS bursary in the fifth and sixth years of their course, which includes a non-means-tested grant of £1,000 and a means-tested grant of up to £2,643 outside of London, or up to £3,191 in London, if living away from home.
The NHS Bursary provides additional allowances such as for childcare, travel and accommodation, and exists to help students manage shortfalls between their income and expenditure.
Medical students can also access "a reduced maintenance loan" from Student Finance England in their final years.
It means their incomes significantly reduce in the latter part of their courses, just when the BMA argue they are on clinical placements in the NHS and have less time to work.
Omolara Akinawonnu, co-chair of the BMA's Medical Students Committee said: "We see students cutting back on essentials such as food and heating, but we know there are heavy costs associated with medicine, cost of travelling, cost of parking, scrubs and various other things associated with doing a medical degree.
"That's only going to be exacerbated because of the cost of living crisis.
"A lot of students are working two jobs during term time when they're meant to be on clinical placements and focus on their studies, which will have a knock-on impact on their studies, maybe career progression and their mental health.
NHS faces 'greatest workforce crisis' in history
Nurses set to vote on walkout over pay as RCN boosts strike fund by £15m
Ms Akinawonnu says this may stop students from considering a career as a clinician or in the wider industry.
"I think medicine has made great strides in order to widen access.
"We've seen an increase in the number of medical students with low socioeconomic backgrounds and from state schools in particular applying to do medicine and we don't want to see a reverse of that because of these findings."
A spokesperson from the Department of Health and Social Care told Sky News: "We are committed to supporting medical students in England across all years of study and are keeping funding arrangements for all healthcare students under review.
"Where a student is struggling financially and is eligible for the NHS Bursary, extra funding is available where they may be able to claim between £100 and £3,000, as well as wider government support which is in place for vulnerable people and individuals on low incomes, including students."

MSL Money Matters Debuts as Another Delivery Method for CUs; Custom Publishing has its Advantages

By Myriam DiGiovanni | October 11, 2005 at 08:00 PM | The original version of this story was published on Credit Union Times Magazine
LOS ANGELES -MSL Money Matters, a quarterly syndicated magazine just for the CU member, is making its debut January 2006. Developed by Torrance, California-based credit union media management company Market and Sales Logic (MSL), the "top-tier" magazine is designed to be a fresh way for credit unions to strengthen their member relationships while aligning themselves with national advertisers. Each 16-page issue will include eight inside pages of syndicated content provided by such contributors as Jean Chatzky and Motley Fool that can appeal to a broad spectrum of members. In addition, there is a national advertising opportunity for such organizations as Starbucks, California Closets or even Lexus. The outside eight pages including the front and back cover will feature the credit union's brand and own content, which can consist of everything from local news, the president's message or articles geared toward a specific target market, to information on products and services. "Research has found that 57% of people who read custom publications are more likely to buy from that institution or company. This is a great opportunity for credit unions to build on their image," said MSL CEO Kristin Witzenburg. "This can be a very cost effective way to turn a newsletter into something that can really work for your credit union and sell your credit union's brand, service or even products-it is up to the individual credit union. Some have told us they plan to use the magazine as part of their business development plans." Witzenburg adds that by maximizing the economies of scale, since all the issues go to press at the same time and all syndicated content buying is a shared cost, it keeps the magazine affordable – costing CUs about 30-40 cents per member. The national advertising opportunities also helps offset costs. Overall advertising policies and syndicated content will be governed by an editorial board led by MSL and made up of the following credit unions: American First CU, Telesis CU, LA Fire CU, San Mateo County CU, Commonwealth CU, and Vista FCU. The national advertising policy strictly prohibits alcohol, tobacco, firearms or other financial services spots. Witzenburg says the strategy is based on synergies, special offers, cost justification and must be a value-add to the publication and for CUs. "It is a less expensive way for a credit union to produce its own top-tier magazine," said Witzenburg. "We are working with a professional custom publisher and most of the credit unions involved have seen their publications. To be effective involves more than just having good writers or graphic artists, but structuring the layout so that it is appealing and flows well." As far as the editorial strategy, Witzenburg says MSL Money Matters articles will focus on branding credit unions as trustworthy, sophisticated, member advocates that offer complete financial services; educating members on financial strategies for the benefit of long-term financial success; and educating members about financial products and services for the achievement of life goals. According to Witzenburg, with so many credit unions signing on, launch circulation is expected to catapult MSL Money Matters into the ranks of the top 200 magazines nationwide. "Credit union members will receive a professional magazine on par with the top magazines in this country," said Witzenburg. "The response before even launching has been amazing and we haven't even gone much beyond our client base. We have a circulation of about 400,000 and we hope for it to be closer to 600,000 when we launch in January. Think about it something like Entrepreneur magazine has just about the same circulation numbers and this credit union magazine is right up there." [email protected]

Monarch is refunding flights to Sharm el Sheikh after the airline extended its cancellation of services to the Egyptian beach resort until February 2017.
The airline was hoping to resume flights on October 30 but said that "with no update or indications as to when the Foreign Office advice may change" it has decided to postpone any chance of resumption to February 9. It is taking bookings on flights from February 10 through to the end of April but said it "will review this in the coming weeks, subject to government advice".
Read more: when will flights return to Sharm el-Sheikh?
The move comes a week after Theresa May praised Egypt's "ongoing efforts to improve security at Sharm el-Sheikh airport" in a phone conversation with Egyptian President Sisi. The Foreign Office has advised against air travel to the popular Sinai resort ever since the crash of a St Petersburg-bound flight shortly after take off in October last year, killing 224 Russian passengers and crew.
According to Downing Street, the Prime Minister had "recognised the economic effects of the suspension" of flights, but there remains no date on the lifting of the travel restrictions.
Andrew Swaffield, chief executive of Monarch, said he was disappointed in having to cancel bookings again.
"Much hard work has been done by the UK and Egyptian governments, along with the travel industry, to improve safety measures at Sharm el-Sheikh Airport and we hope to be able to re-open this important holiday market by February," he said.
Monarch, which is offering customers booked on flights either a refund or the chance to move to other dates or routes at no extra cost, is just one airline or tour operator forced to extend repeatedly its cancellation period as the Foreign Office travel restriction remains in place.
Some 700,000 Britons visited the popular season-round destination before the ban on flights.


Few things are tastier, and easier, in the summer than kabobs. But quite often, good-for-you seafood items are forgotten and left off the menu! Replace heavier meat kabobs with these Island Shrimp Skewers. The peach salsa takes them over the top!
If using wooden skewers, soak in water for 20 minutes. Coat a broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
Preheat the broiler. Place 5 shrimp onto each skewer and place on the broiler pan.
In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, honey, red pepper, black pepper, and ginger; mix well. Remove 2 tablespoons of the mixture to a medium bowl and set aside. Brush both sides of the skewered shrimp with the remaining mixture and broil for 4 to 5 minutes, or until pink.
Meanwhile, add the remaining ingredients to the reserved mixture; mix well to make a peach salsa. Spread the salsa over 4 serving plates and top each with 2 shrimp skewers. Serve immediately.

I fixed this recipe during Lent and must say it was wonderful. I could only find peaches in juice but they were very good. I finished the salsa several days later as a salad and it was even better for having sat for those extra days. I will be making this again.

Charlottesville, VA (May 22, 2018). When was the last time you watched a Michael Jackson music video? If your answer is "never" or "not for quite a while," you are really missing a treat. According to Rolling Stone, "No single artist ... shaped, innovated or defined the medium of 'music video' more than Michael Jackson."
Back in the 1980s and early 1990s, MTV had only one format--music videos--and that genre really took off when Jackson burst on the scene in 1983 with his musical hit "Billie Jean." Prior to his arrival on MTV, most videos were merely visual promos for artists' songs, and in some cases the visual side of the promos detracted from the music. Michael Jackson, on the other hand, took his incredible music and added story lines, special effects, cinematography, and amazing choreography. He created high-budget brief movies highlighting both music and dance.
And about that dance. . . . Jackson executed dance moves we thought impossible, at the time and even now. Almost every fan tried to dance like him, but very few could pull it off. Some of Jackson's dance moves appear to defy the laws of gravity. In one move featured in his 1987 music video "Smooth Criminal," he pitches forward 45 degrees, with his body straight as a rod and his shoes resting on the stage, and holds the position. That is not how the human body works! How did Michael Jackson do it? Was it talent, magic, or both?
Three neurosurgeons from the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, India--Nishant S. Yagnick, Manjul Tripathi, and Sandeep Mohindra--set out to examine the antigravity tilt introduced in "Smooth Criminal" from a neurosurgeon's point of view.
The full story on the antigravity tilt is published today in a new article in the Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine entitled "How did Michael Jackson challenge our understanding of spine biomechanics?".
Yagnick NS, Tripathi M, Mohindra S: How did Michael Jackson challenge our understanding of spine biomechanics? Journal of Neurosurgery: Spine, published online, ahead of print, May 22, 2018; DOI: 10.3171/2018.2.SPINE171443.

Combining an historical and a broad, comparative biological approach Brain Architecture provides readers with a knowledge of the nervous system.
The brain has been viewed as an organ, machine, biological computer, or nervous system component. What are its major parts and how are they interconnected to generate thinking, feelings, and behavior? This book surveys 2,500 years of scientific thinking about these profoundly important questions from the perspective of fundamental architectural principles, and proposes a new model for the basic plan of neural systems organization based on an explosion of structural data from the neuroanatomy revolution of the 1070's. It is designed to be read by anyone with an interest in the basic organization of the brain, from neuroscience to philosophy to computer science to molecular biology, and it is suitable for use in neuroscience core courses.

R. Kelly brings in lawyer who specializes in plea negotiations
By Jason Meisner and Megan Crepeau
Jeffrey Steinback, a defense attorney who has joined R. Kelly's federal case in Chicago, is pictured in 2006 in Chicago. (Nancy Stone / Chicago Tribune)
A veteran defense attorney who specializes in plea negotiations has quietly joined R. Kelly's federal case in Chicago as the embattled singer faces a 13-count indictment alleging he sexually abused underage girls.
Attorney Jeffrey Steinback, who filed an appearance in the case over the weekend, told the Chicago Tribune on Monday he was asked to lend his "expertise" on how to deal with the high-profile charges against Kelly, not necessarily to resolve the case short of trial.
"I was brought in as another set of eyes," Steinback said in a telephone interview. He said he's since met with the singer several times at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in the Loop — where Kelly has been held without bond since July — to get a sense of "who he is and how I may be of assistance."
"I did not meet a monster," Steinback said. "I met a man who is hurting. ... He's done a great deal of good in his life."
Steinback's emergence in the case is sure to raise eyebrows due to his reputation as a deal-maker whose experience and connections with the U.S. attorney's office have helped him negotiate drastically reduced prison sentences for clients.
Among the clients Steinback has represented over the years: Scott Fawell, the former aide to Gov. George Ryan who provided crucial testimony against his boss; Stuart Levine, a political insider who became one of the government's key witnesses in the corruption investigation of former Gov. Rod Blagojevich; and William Hanhardt, the Chicago police chief of detectives who pleaded guilty to running a mob-connected jewelry theft ring.
Any deal with prosecutors in Kelly's case would be particularly thorny to execute since the R&B star is also facing a racketeering indictment in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn as well as separate charges brought in Cook County in February alleging the sexual abuse of four victims.
If convicted in all three cases, Kelly, 52, could potentially face the rest of his life in prison.
Steinback had not filed an appearance either the New York or Cook County cases as of Monday.
Kelly's lead attorney, Steven Greenberg, said Monday he was well aware of Steinback's reputation as a plea-deal architect but indicated that no such deals were currently in the works.
"Perhaps at some point we will need Jeff's particular expertise," Greenberg told the Tribune. "At this point we are certainly not working towards or contemplating a plea in any of his cases, but I think that as part of having a complete team, it's important to know what your risks are."
Kelly, whose full name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, was charged in the federal indictment in Chicago with conspiring with two former employees to rig his 2008 child pornography trial in Cook County by paying off witnesses and victims to change their stories.
In New York, Kelly alone was indicted on a charge of racketeering conspiracy, alleging he identified underage girls attending his concerts and groomed them for later sexual abuse.
Kelly is also charged in four separate indictments in Cook County alleging he sexually assaulted one woman and sexually abused three minor girls. In addition, he faces prostitution charges in Minnesota for allegedly soliciting an underage girl nearly 20 years ago.
Kelly has repeatedly maintained his innocence throughout his mounting legal woes.
After the federal charges were filed in July, experts told the Tribune that any plea deal likely would have to involve settling his cases in all the jurisdictions that he faces charges — what's known as a "global resolution."
That could take several different forms; Kelly could agree to plead guilty in one or two cases in exchange for the others being dropped or plead to all of them in exchange for an agreed-upon sentence.
Coordinating a resolution between four prosecutors' offices in three states could prove complicated. In the meantime, Judge Lawrence Flood, who is presiding over Kelly's four Cook County cases, has said he expects to "proceed as if the other two matters are not pending."
Kelly is expected back in county court in December.
Meanwhile, he's currently set for trial on the Chicago federal charges in April, although U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber has acknowledged the date may have to be delayed.

Updated List of High Journal Impact Factor Pulmonary Embolism Journals
Subject wise Global Events
Physics & Materials Science
As per available reports about 67 journals, 8 Conferences, 19 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to pulmonary embolism and about 498,000 articles are being published on the current trends in pulmonary embolism. In terms of research annually, United States, Canada, China and India are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to pulmonary embolism are being carried out. Pulmonary embolism is a disease condition in which the main artery of the lungs is blocked by any substance travelled through the bloodstream. This generally leads in the blood clots in the veins, called as deep vein thrombosis. Normal cases of PE lead to difficulty in breathing and chest pain while the severe ones may lead to abnormally low blood pressure and death. The treatment protocol of PE involves anticoagulant therapy in general cases and surgery in very acute ones like acute pulmonary embolism.
The Journal of Pulmonary & Respiratory Medicineis an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in pulmonary embolism. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Pulmonary & Respiratory Medicine provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and latest research developments in the field of pulmonary embolism, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.

The American stardom predicted for Mexico's Gael Garcia Bernal after _Amores Perros _and _Y Tu Mama Tambien _a decade or so ago never did materialize, but so what? For a guy who's in it for the long haul—something Bernal, who's no fool, plainly is—there are worse fates than not making the grade as _People _magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. Now 34, he's a real actor, not just a heartthrob, and he has one of his best parts in years in Pablo Larrain's _No. _An Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Film, it's a dynamite movie—right on the cusp between docudrama and political thriller—about the 1988 plebiscite that ended dictator Augusto Pinochet's reign in Chile.
Bernal plays Rene Saavedra, a much-in-demand Santiago ad ec—he's introduced via his latest commercial for "Free" Cola—who's recruited to oversee the ad campaign boosting a "No" vote against Pinochet's continued rule. (He's apparently a composite of two real-life 1980s ad men involved in the effort.) At first, our hero is reluctant, and not merely for craven reasons. Chilean leftists, including his own very sharp ex, Veronica (Antonia Zegers), are convinced the referendum will be a sham. If they validate it by participating, they'll end by legitimizing the dictatorship, fifteen years after Pinochet overthrew elected socialist president Salvador Allende with the CIA's help.
Nonetheless, Saavedra agrees to tackle the job. But he and his team are promptly at odds with the veteran politicos who've come out of the woodwork to oppose the regime. Men who've suffered at Pinochet's hands—and who know how Chile has, too—they want blunt ads excoriating the dictator's crimes: the thousands of _Desaparecidos _(i.e., "the disappeared") who simply vanished without any legal process, the thousands more imprisoned and often tortured, the general climate of censorship and repression. They're taken aback by Saavedra's pitch for a frothy, upbeat campaign—with jingles, paid performers, the works—extolling Chile's happy future instead once Pinochet is gone.
The strange-bedfellows jostle of politics and showbiz sometimes makes these sequences play like Argo's Chilean cousin, although the stakes are very different: a whole country's return to democracy, not just the rescue of a handful of diplomats. But Saavedra knows what he's doing—it's why they wanted him in the first place, after all—and his happy-face ads lead to the "No" vote gaining unexpected traction in the polls. As a result, he and his collaborators find themselves and their families targeted for surveillance and threats—experiencing the dictatorship's dark side directly for the first time, which ratchets up the tension in a way closer to All The President's Men.
Equally fraught is the ambiguous pas de deux between Saavedra and his boss and mentor, Lucho Guzman (an expertly troublesome Alfredo Castro), who's working the other side of the street by feeding advice on the "Yes" campaign to Pinochet's bemedaled thugs. They each know what the other is up to, and yet they've still got an ad agency to run and other clients to shmooze in tandem. On top of that, since both men can't help being proud of being good at their jobs, their ideological clash is a professional rivalry as well. It's not just the political partisan in Saavedra, but the ripped-off colleague, who can't help being indignant when the "Yes" campaign starts running copycat ads that parody his own.
Bernal's performance is what holds it all together, not least because this may be the first time he's seemed so completely adult in a movie. Saavedra's complex, burdened reactions are worlds away from Bernal's pretty-boy version of the young Che Guevara in _The Motorcycle Diaries, _in which, to be fair, he may have been held back by director Walter Salles's insipid yen to turn the Cuban revolution's future chief butcher into a Bambi-eyed left-wing pinup. Though he's done fine work for smarter filmmakers than Salles—above all, his extravagant, hugely demanding role in Pedro Almodovar's _Bad Education—_his good looks have usually been part of the point. Seeing Bernal all grown up in a role where they aren't—Saavedra doesn't need to be attractive at that level to compel our attention—leaves you thinking that now is when his career could start to get really interesting.


Upon hearing the voice of Jodie Marie one might expect something different than an unassuming girl from Wales. With her music being influenced by an eclectic mix of Blues, Motown and Country, it is still a relative shock to discover that the assured voice – romping through upcoming single I Got You – belongs to a young lady who seems much like a normal 20-year-old; excitable, deeply into music, and torn over which might be the best film to go and see at the cinema.
Mountain Echo is released on 5th March.

Reliance subsidiary to acquire 73.37% stake in luxury hotel Mandarin Oriental New York
RIL said the acquisition will add to the consumer and hospitality footprint of the group which already has investments in EIH Ltd and Stoke Park Limited in UK.
Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) on Saturday said its wholly-owned subsidiary Reliance Industrial Investments and Holdings Limited (RIIHL) has signed an agreement to acquire a 73.37 per cent stake in Mandarin Oriental New York, one of the premium luxury hotels in New York City.
Under the agreement, RIIHL will acquire the entire issued share capital of Columbus Centre Corporation (Cayman), a company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and the indirect owner of a 73.37 per cent stake in Mandarin Oriental New York, for an equity consideration of approximately $98.15 million.
"The closing of the transaction is anticipated to occur by the end of March 2022 and is subject to certain customary regulatory and other approvals and the satisfaction of certain other conditions," RIL said in an exchange filing.
The acquisition, it said, will add to the consumer and hospitality footprint of the group which already has investments in EIH Ltd (Oberoi Hotels), Stoke Park Limited in the UK and is developing a state-of-the-art convention centre, hotel and managed residences in BKC Mumbai.
"Set up in 2003, Mandarin Oriental New York is an iconic luxury hotel located at 80 Columbus Circle, directly adjacent to the pristine Central Park and Columbus Circle. It has global recognition and has won several influential awards including AAA Five Diamond Hotel, Forbes Five Star Hotel, and Forbes Five Star Spa, among others," the filing said.
Mandarin Oriental New York's revenue stood at $115 million in 2018, $113 million in 2019 and $15 million in 2020.
The Mukesh Ambani-led company also said that if the other owners of the hotel elect to participate in the sale transaction, RIIHL would acquire the remaining 26.63 per cent stake based on the same valuation as used for the acquisition of the indirect 73.37 per cent stake.

Thanks To BudgIT's New Website, Nigerians Can Now Monitor Government Expenditure
in App, Government, Internet
Over the years, Nigeria's leadership has been beset by too many challenges. Misallocation, a lack of transparency, and general corruption have afflicted the overall structure. Nigeria is ranked 149th out of 183 nations in the Corruption Perception Index (CIP) as of January 2021.

Other than a dearth of powerful regulations to penalize criminals and the desire to execute such policies, one key factor why corruption is flourishing is a lack of public scrutiny and call for transparency. As a result, there has been an increase in demands for Nigerians to become more involved in their affairs, particularly in holding officials accountable. But they won't be able to do so if they can't supervise how the government spends the funds.
BudgIT, a Nigerian civic-technology firm, has developed an internet-based portal that will allow Nigerians to track the federal government's finances and observe how the government funds are spent in real-time. Per BudgIT, the govspend.ng platform is a sophisticated site that will allow users to access visualized and summarised statistics from the government's Open Treasury Portal. It is designed for individuals living in the country, Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), and representatives of the press. The website is modelled on the Federal Government's Open Treasury Portal (OTP), which was introduced by the Buhari administration in 2019 to enhance openness and accountability in government expenditure. The OTP compiles expenditure information from Ministries, departments, and agencies – also known as MDAs.
While the OTP provides public access to government expenditure statistics, govspend.ng summarizes and accurately simulates this financial information. The organization thinks that this would make it easier for individuals to access, evaluate, and comprehend FG's real-time spending.
The web portal would also highlight any discrepancies in these expenditures found by the BudgIt team. Discrepancies comprise transactions to numerous recipients, transfers with no descriptions, transfers of funds to private accounts, and so forth. Addressing the launch, Gabriel Okeowo, Chief operating officer of BudgIT, noted that although the Federal Government has done a fantastic job in guaranteeing that the government's everyday expenditures are in the public eye. The majority of information on the website is in non-machine readable forms. They cannot also be downloaded.
"We created the govspend.ng site to overcome this drawback," he explained.
"The country's citizens can get data on firms that have been granted government contracts as well as the sums received by such companies from MDAs. Simultaneously, CSOs may develop dialogues about government expenditures based on overly simplistic data uploaded to the platform."He also urged the media to use the system's content for engagement and investigative reporting.
The initiative is ambitious, since it would allow citizens to know how their money is being spent. One can only wish that Nigerians would be able to use the opportunity to demand transparency and, presumably, minimize theft and corruption at the highest levels. The Federal Government's Open Treasury Portal only gathers expenditures of N5 million or more by Ministries and departments and N10 million or more by the Office of the Accountant General of the Federation.
