(MENAFN- Khaama Press)
Apple to delay the release of iPadOS 16 by about a month to give developers time to iron out bugs, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.
If accurate, this would mark the first time in years that iPadOS and iOS haven't been launched in tandem. The latest versions of the operating systems were announced earlier this year at WWDC.
The new iPadOS 16 update includes Stage Manager, a feature that allows users of the newest M1 iPad Pro to multitask, resize windows and drag multiple apps at a time. But according to Bloomberg, people who downloaded the available beta version of iPadOS 16 found Stage Manager to be buggy with a confusing interface.
The delay could mean the updated operating system will launch alongside the rumored M2 iPad Pro, which could be coming in the fall.
During beta testing, the system has drawn criticism from some developers and users for its bugs, a confusing interface and lack of compatibility with most iPads. Staggering the release schedule will also allow Apple to put more engineering resources into completing iOS 16, the software update that will come included with the iPhone 14 in September.
The change also would bring the iPadOS 16 release closer to the launch of new iPad hardware. The company is planning an updated iPad Pro with an M2 chip, along with a faster entry-level iPad with a USB-C port, Bloomberg has reported .
An Apple spokeswoman declined to comment on the plans, which could change as the Cupertino, California-based company gets closer to its fall product launch cycle.

(MENAFN - Baystreet.ca) Finding specific investments with the potential to truly go parabolic over the long-term is the goal of every investor. Every investment has risk, and none should be considered on its growth profile alone.
In this article, I am going to discuss one Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) I believe has such a growth profile with little in the way of significant long-term risk.
The Invesco Water Resources ETF (NYSE:PHO) is perhaps my top ETF pick for long-term investors seeking growth in their portfolios.
This ETF contains a wide variety of water resource companies in the U.S., a market which has privatized a large percentage of water plants, many of which were previously run by municipal or state authorities but are now privately owned and operated.
The need for clean drinking water, and a consumer's propensity to pay for such a valuable commodity, needs no explanation. This key driver of pricing power and consolidation with this sector should provide enough of a secular growth catalyst by itself.
That said, the movement toward Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) mandates from mainly institutional investors will push a tremendous amount of capital into investments like this ETF.
The favorable supply and demand of investments of new capital in sectors such as water resources makes this broad asset class a potentially parabolic trade long-term, despite a valuation which is certainly not cheap today.
I expect to see additional multiple expansion materialize, particularly if money remains cheap and capital has nowhere else to flow.
Invest wisely, my friends.

Eleitores de Zurique aprovam a proibição dos aquecedores a óleo e gás
Official figuresExternal link show nearly 63% of voters on Sunday endorsing a law approved by parliament to replace fossil fuels in heating systems with alternative energy sources.
The voters rejected an attempt by the house owner's association and the right-wing People's Party to challenge the new law.
The government is doubling its annual financial support for house owners to switch to more climate-friendly heaters.
Supporters said oil- and gas-powered systems account for 40% of Zurich's greenhouse gas emissions.
Opponents argued the reform goes too far and will lead to a price hike for rented property.
There is also concern that some property owners might use the installation of a new heating systems for general refurbishments of buildings, thereby forcing tenants to move out of their apartments.
Just over half of the country's 26 cantons have tightened regulations on energy standards for buildings.
However, voters in cantons Bern, Solothurn and Aargau recently rejected proposals at the ballot box.
In June, Swiss voters threw out a reform of the CO2 law which targeted road vehicles, air traffic, industrial emissions, and the renovation of buildings.

(MENAFN- Live Mint) "As a number of states are reverting to old pension schemes, an RBI article has called the move to be a 'major step backwards' in managing fiscal deficit. It also said that OPS may take the fiscal stress of states to“unsustainable levels” in the medium to long term.The article, written by Rachit Solanki, Somnath Sharma, R K Sinha, S R Behera and Atri Mukherjee, highlighted that the cumulative fiscal burden in the case of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS) could be as high as 4.5 times that of the New Pension Scheme, which was implemented over a decade ago as part of pension reforms.The research underlined how a few states are opting for OPS because of their short term benefits. However, it also contains repercussions in long term. Even after getting rid of the NPS contribution, state governments are expected to witness“severe pressure” on their finance because of unfunded OPS, underlined the RBI article.States that have opted for OPSRecently, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Punjab and Himachal PRadesh have announced reversal to the OPS from NPS.\"... short run reduction in states' pension outgo which may be driving decisions to restore OPS, would be eclipsed by the huge rise in future unfunded pension liabilities in the long run,\" it said.\"States' reverting to the OPS would be a major step backwards and can increase their fiscal stress to unsustainable levels in the medium to long term,\" the article warned.One one side, the OPS has Defined Benefits (DB), whereas, the NPS has defined contributions. By opting for OPS, states will save only 0.1% of GDP in yearly pension outgo till 2040. The amount saved with OPS, is likely to fall short against the increase in expenditure in the scheme. These states would be required to incur an average additional increase in pension expenditure by 0.5 per cent of yearly GDP post 2040.

(MENAFN) Emirati astronaut Hazzaa Al-Mansoori has made history by becoming the first Arab to be appointed as an increment lead for an International Space Station (ISS) expedition. According to the Emirates News Agency, Al-Mansoori will be responsible for guiding the ISS crew through every aspect of the Expedition 69 mission. This ground-breaking mission, which includes Sultan Al-Neyadi, the first Arab astronaut to embark on a long-duration spaceflight, has already marked a milestone for the Arab region and the UAE since the Soyuz MS-22 spacecraft undocked on March 28.
The Expedition 69 crew is set to conduct multiple experiments during their mission, which will investigate the effects of microgravity on material combustion to enhance spacecraft safety, test a novel tool for deep-space immune monitoring, and advance research on 3D-cultured cardiac muscle tissue to evaluate human cardiac function in microgravity. Al-Neyadi will also test samples for microorganisms from outside the space station.
As increment lead, Al-Mansoori will shoulder a critical responsibility for the seamless integration and execution of ISS crew activities throughout Expedition 69. This will involve a range of duties, such as developing, managing, implementing, and communicating mission integration procedures. Al-Mansoori's appointment to this position is a testament to his exceptional skills and knowledge, according to Salem Humaid Al-Marri, Director-General of Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center.
In addition to highlighting the UAE's expanding contribution to the field of space exploration, Al-Mansoori's appointment also sets the stage for more Arab astronauts to participate in space exploration. Al-Marri expressed excitement at the prospect of Al-Mansoori and Al-Neyadi collaborating to conduct ground-breaking experiments that will broaden our knowledge of space and understanding of life in microgravity. Overall, Expedition 69 represents the longest Arab space mission to date and is a significant achievement for the UAE and the Arab region.

(MENAFN- Muscat Daily) Muscat- The Ministry of Oil and Gas has awarded oil concession block 57 to Lebanon-based company Petroleb SAL. The ministry signed an exploration and production-sharing agreement with the Lebanese firm on Wednesday for developing the block 57.
H E Mohammed bin Hamad al Rumhi, Minister of Oil and Gas, signed the agreement on behalf of the Omani government along with Salah Khayat, chief executive officer of Petroleb. Headquartered in Beirut, Petroleb is an upstream oil and gas company.
Block 57, also know as Al Afif onshore oil block, lies in the southwestern part of the sultanate and is situated between South Oman Salt Basin and the Rub al Khali Basin. The block is spread across 2,262sq km.
As per the agreement, Petroleb has committed to carrying out geological and geophysical studies along with 3D seismic acquisition and drill wells during exploration periods. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a signing ceremony, Khayat said block 57 would be Petroleb's first investment in Oman.
He said, 'The contract has a number of phases and under the first phase, only exploration activities would be conducted. Oil exploration is a capital-intensive business, so there is a sizeable investment involved and we will do it. The money would be primarily spent on seismic activities and drilling one very deep well.'
On future prospects of the block 57, Khayat said, 'We looked at a number of blocks, not just one block. And we believe that we could add value to this particular block. We submitted our technical programme and our bid, and we were awarded this block.' On investments, he declined to reveal details but said it would require millions of dollars to conduct studies and drill wells.

The inaugural edition of the Women's Premier League (WPL) boasts a remarkable valuation of Rs 1,250 crore, equating to approximately $150 million. This significant valuation was primarily driven by the league's substantial media and title rights deals.

This substantial investment by team owners signals their confidence in the league's future trajectory. They foresee the WPL not only thriving, but also offering significant financial returns in the coming years.

"With the further development of regional and local gas grids Primeline believes gas consumption will continue to expand in China particularly in East China and that current surplus capacity will be quickly absorbed by the anticipated growth" it said in the results statement.

This loss was mainly due to translation effects on the US$ denominated syndicate facility along with lower than expected oil and gas sale revenues due to the "significant" decline in off take volumes by Zhejiang Gas in the quarter the firm told investors. As of September 30 Primeline held cash of around RMB298mln or C$63mln including RMB150mln or C$31.7mln.

New York, Aug 25 (IANS) Tropical storm Henri which lashed the US Northeast for two days with some areas receiving up to 10 inches of rain, has inflicted massive losses worth $8 billion to $12 billion, a media report said.
The storm was centred 50 miles east of Providence, Rhode Island, downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone upon its landing, and then headed east, Xinhua news agency quoted the USA Today report as saying.
On Tuesday, electricity was mostly restored in Rhode Island and Connecticut, while floodwaters also receded from New Jersey and New York.
Now Henri is drifting out to sea.
Central New Jersey was among the areas hardest hit, as rainwater rushed through streets like rivers.
"Part of the state got crushed," Governor Phil Murphy was quoted as saying.
"It was a huge, massive rain event. This is double digit inches in some cases of rain. Unheard of."
In Rhode Island, where Henri made landfall on Sunday afternoon, about 8,000 homes and businesses remain without power on Tuesday.
Almost 100,000 were dark at the peak of the storm.
The utility National Grid brought in workers from Massachusetts to help restore power and said all customers should have power by Wednesday.
Most of Henri's heavy rain doused New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York, while leaving some areas east of landfall relatively dry, according to AccuWeather, an experienced local and international weather forecaster.
Henri originated from a well-defined low-pressure system north-northeast of Bermuda on August 16 as a tropical depression.
Nearly a day later, the system strengthened into Tropical Storm Henri.
Henri strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane, before weakening back to a tropical storm and making a rare landfall in Westerly, Rhode Island.

(MENAFN- The Peninsula) QNA
Doha: Ambassador of the State of Qatar to the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria H E Abdulaziz Ali Al Naama stressed that the visit of Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani to Algeria to attend the opening ceremony of the 19th Mediterranean Games in Oran, Algeria – in response to the generous invitation of President of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria H E Abdelmadjid Tebboune — reflects the strength of bonding between the two brotherly countries.
In a statement to QNA, His Excellency underlined that H H the Amir's attendance reflects the highest indication of appreciation of His Highness for President Abdelmadjid Tebboune as well as the special importance His Highness attaches to Algeria.
Ambassador Al Naama said that the Qatari-Algerian relations are witnessing continuous development and steady growth since the visit of His Highness to Algeria in February 2020 and the momentum and dynamism it witnessed. The relationship between the two countries increased in strength and diversity with the visit of President of Algeria Abdelmadjid Tebboune in February 2022, which culminated in memorandums of understanding and important cooperation agreements and a great consensus on visions on Arab, regional and international issues, he pointed out.
Ambassador Al Naama said that the two sides are also in the process of signing other new agreements in the future that will pave the way for a deep strategic partnership between the two countries, explaining that this continuous development in relations is nothing but the fruit of the efforts of the brothers in both countries to achieve greater rapprochement in the hope of reaching a partnership worthy of the status and size of the two brotherly countries.
Meanwhile, he pointed out that organising the Mediterranean Games is a practical interpretation of Algeria's belief in rapprochement and brotherhood among the peoples of the world, and an affirmation that it is present and assertive in international forums, not only by participating but also by organising global sports, political and economic events.
In conclusion of his statement, he said that the success of such tournaments and events that are held in the Arab world is a success for all. It is also irrefutable evidence that Arabs are capable of many things and can dazzle the world, the Ambassador added, noting that it can give an honourable image of the Arab world away from the stereotypical image of the Middle East, which will also be proven by the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 in November.

(MENAFN- IANS) Mumbai, June 10 (IANS) Tejasswi Prakash packed in a pre-birthday celebration on the sets of 'Naagin with fans and the media on Friday night.
Tejasswi turned 29 on Saturday, but the celebrations started while she was shooting for 'Naagin' on Friday evening. With fans waiting to celebrate her birthday on the night before, she stepped out of the sets and cut the ceremonial cakes that had been laid out for her at her vanity van.
Tejasswi stepped out in a robe and was seen sporting a heavy 'maang tikka'. She plays the dual roles of protagonist Pratha Gujral and her daughter Prarthna in the 'Naagin 6'.
Prakash made her acting debut in 2012 and made a mark with the TV serial 'Sanskaar Dharohar Apnon Ki' in 2013.
Though she is best known for playing Ragini Maheshwari in 'Swaragini' and Diya Singh in 'Rishta Likhenge Hum Naya', it was her participation in 'Bigg Boss 15', where she was declared the winner, that made her a nationwide sensation overnight.

US Dollar drops to an eight month low on Australian inflation
Chinese bad loans write off spreads fear throughout markets
A look back at the past 24 hours of Forex trading using movements in the US Dollar Index:
US Dollar 15-Minute 12:00 10/22 to 12:00 10/23 EST
Want to trade with proprietary strategies developed by FXCM? Find out how here.
The Dow Jones FXCM Dollar Index is trading slightly higher on Wednesday, as China led fears have sent risk-correlated currencies lower against safe-havens like the greenback.
The US Dollar lost ground against the Aussie towards the beginning of the Tokyo session, when Australian inflation was announced to have beaten expectations in the third quarter. US Dollar bottomed slightly later in the Tokyo session and set an 8-month low at 10,354.
However, the greenback index soon erased losses and rose above the session open on a news report that Chinese banks had written off three times as many bad loans in the first half of 2013 than they did in the previous year. Earlier in the year, many analysts had doubted China’s commitment to hit 7.5% growth in 2013; however, fears abated recently on improved economic data. Therefore, news implying that there are more problems with the world’s second biggest economy than understood by analysts could hurt risk appetite across all markets.

Christopher Coye, Minister of State in the Ministry of Finance, Economic Development and Investment
By Caribbean News Global contributor
BELIZE, Belmopan – On April 10, 2021, a Belizean delegation participated virtually in the World Bank/IMF's Spring Meetings, led by Christopher Coye, minister of state in the ministry of finance, economic development and investment.
The delegation included Narda Garcia, chief executive officer in the office of the prime minister, and Elvira Mendez, Belize's Counsellor to the IDB's office of executive directors.
In his address to the virtual forum, minister Coye highlighted the critical condition of the nation's economy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, exacerbated by a drought that decimated crops in 2019 and 100-year floods caused by hurricanes Eta and Iota in 2020. In numbers, he explained, 'the effect has been dramatic with economic contraction exceeding 14 percent, debt-to-GDP skyrocketing to 130 percent, unemployment approaching 30 percent, fiscal revenue shortfall near 30 percent and a primary deficit around 8 percent of GDP.'
Minister Coye also pointed to the pressing discussion of debt relief that must take a position of priority, noting that 'as challenging as Belize's experience has been, as a deemed middle-income country (MIC), Belize, like other MICs, has not been a beneficiary of the Debt Service Suspension Initiative.
'Belize has not been the recipient of resources under the IMF's Rapid Credit Facility. Belize is not likely to be eligible under the Common Framework. Belize has not been the beneficiary of any debt relief whatsoever.'
Minister Coye expressed the hope, on behalf of small states like Belize, for meaningful debt relief, grant and concessionary funding to successfully avert the dual debt and climate crises with a view to long-term climate resiliency and sustainable economic recovery and transformation.

Tel Aviv, Aug 6 (IANS) Hours after Israeli airstrikes killed several people including a leader of militant organization Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in the Gaza Strip, several rockets were fired back at Israel from Gaza, according to media reports.
Air raid sirens were sounded in several Israeli cities, but the rockets went down in open terrain or were intercepted by the Iron Dome missile defence system, dpa news agency reported, citing the Israeli military.
The PIJ's military arm said on Friday evening that the rockets were fired in retaliation for the killing of PIJ commander Taisir al-Jabari. 'We're attacking Tel Aviv and the cities of the centre and the surrounding area with more than 100 missiles,' it said.
Earlier, the Israeli military attacked several targets in the Gaza Strip following threats by the PIJ.
According to Palestinian sources, at least 10 people were killed in the Israeli attacks, among them a 5-year-old child and other PIJ members. At least 75 people were reportedly injured.
Both the Palestinian Ministry of Health and the Israeli army confirmed al-Jabari's death.
According to Israel's armed forces, PIJ military bases and buildings in the Gaza strip were also targeted during the airstrikes.
On Monday, PIJ leader Bassem Saadi was arrested in the West Bank town of Jenin during an Israeli anti-terror operation. The military arm of the organization, the al-Quds Brigades, subsequently threatened retaliation.
The PIJ is particularly active in the Gaza Strip, from where it regularly launches rocket attacks on Israel. The organization has close ties to Iran.
The Israeli military cordoned off areas on the edge of the Gaza Strip for several days and raised its alert level.
Israel continued its attacks on Friday evening. Prime Minister Yair Lapid said: 'The Israeli government will not allow terrorist organisations to set the agenda in the towns on the outskirts of the Gaza Strip and to threaten Israeli citizens. Those who want to attack Israel must know that we will get to them.'

In spite of the global macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical instability, the aviation industry has maintained its consistent recovery providing a positive outlook for the year ahead, according to the ACI Asia-Pacific's Airport Industry Outlook, a quarterly assessment of the airports' performances.The Airport Industry Outlook for Quarter 3 2022 (July to September) provides a snapshot of airport business performance across the region as well as a focus on investment in greenfield airport development with a focus on sustainability.As travel restrictions are lifted, the post-COVID traffic recovery continues to benefit from pent-up demand, but the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, high fuel prices, rising inflationary pressures, lower economic growth expectations, and the looming recession are casting a shadow on the overall recovery of the industry.The domestic scheduled capacity has seen a remarkable recovery and is just -1.5% short of 2019 levels. As compared to the Q2 2022, the Q3 domestic traffic is up by 10.5%. The international capacity is 51% below 2019 level and has shown of improvement of 8% over Q2 2022.Despite all the positive indicators, ACI forecast indicates Asia-Pacific to lose its dominating market share for the year 2022 and finish second with 1.84 billion passengers, a decline of -45% compared to 2019.The last time Asia-Pacific recorded a comparable level of traffic was in 2012 (1.84 billion passengers).This comes as a significant shock to our region that has dominated the civil aviation market since 2011, surpassing Europe and North America to maintain its stronghold until 2021.Load factors for both domestic and international passenger remain below pre-pandemic levels across Asia-Pacific and the Middle East sub- regions. South Asia had the strongest load factor recovery in Q2 2022, to 78% vs 84% in Q2 2019.

Britain issues licenses to French fishing vessels
(MENAFN) According to the European Commission (EC), on Saturday Britain provided 23 more permits to French fishing vessels.
The step came a day after the deadline set by Paris to find a solution to a post-Brexit dispute over fishing rights, warning against punitive proceedings against Britain.

(MENAFN) During a concert at the Apollo Theatre in Belvidere, Illinois, the roof of the theater collapsed on Friday night amidst gusty winds. Video footage showed debris scattered outside the building, with firefighters and ambulances in attendance. Cell phone footage captured the extent of the damage from inside the structure. The Belvidere Fire Department reported that one person died and 28 were injured in the building collapse, with five of those injuries considered severe and 18 moderate.
At the time of the collapse, there were 260 people in the building, according to the fire department. As of late Friday night, no one was unaccounted for. Morbid Angel, Revocation, and Skeletal Remains were among the bands scheduled to perform at the concert. It remains unclear which of the bands were playing when the collapse occurred. Morbid Angel later announced on its Facebook page that the show was canceled "due to a tornado that hit the venue."
Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker tweeted that he was closely monitoring the situation, expressing concern for the safety and well-being of all those involved. Belvidere is located approximately 70 miles northwest of Chicago.
The storm system responsible for the gusty winds that led to the theater roof collapse also spawned more confirmed twisters in Iowa and wind-whipped grass fires in Oklahoma. The system threatened a broad swath of the country, which is home to some 85 million people.
In a separate incident, the Little Rock tornado tore through neighborhoods in the western part of the city, causing widespread damage to homes, businesses, and vehicles. The tornado shredded a small shopping center that included a Kroger grocery store before crossing the Arkansas River into North Little Rock and surrounding cities.

Russia advises UN to review footage for Russian war detainees
(MENAFN) Russia on Wednesday advised UN to properly review a footage showing Ukrainian military shelling Russian convicts of conflict.
Noting on the comments said by UN spokesman Farhan Haq, who "called for all reported human rights violations by all sides in this conflict to be fully investigated and for there to be accountability," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova shared on Telegram that the UN official was "hiding behind common phrases."
"The representatives of the UN Secretariat need to decide: either once and for all declare that they are "for all good against all bad"; or begin to approach the assessments of various events objectively, impartially, according to their functional responsibilities and mandates," Zakharova also claimed.
She also asserted that the UN was "more verbose" on Ukrainian statements.
In an interview with Sputnik radio, Zakharova strongly convicted a decision by the Ukrainian Attorney General's office to start criminal cases into the fires of the Russian convicts of conflict.
"Everything that was done by the Kyiv regime around this crime is immoral and criminal ... The shooting of unarmed Russian prisoners of war should not fall into the category of forgotten or protracted criminal cases. This is a terrible crime that should sound the alarm," she added.

(MENAFN) In a fervent plea to Congress, President Joe Biden urged lawmakers to approve an additional USD60 billion in funding for Ukraine, emphasizing the global implications of supporting the embattled nation. Speaking on Wednesday, Biden expressed concern that the opposition, mainly Republicans, was stalling the much-needed aid by linking it to their "extreme partisan" border agenda. The funding, originally bundled with aid for Israel, weapons for Taiwan, and resources for the United States-Mexico border in October, is now at the center of a contentious debate in Congress.
Accusing Republicans of being willing to "literally kneecap Ukraine on the battlefield" and compromise national security, Biden argued that the United States must fulfill its commitment to global leadership. The President contended that withholding billions for Ukraine would not only harm Washington's prestige but also jeopardize support from key allies such as the G7, the European Union, and Japan. According to Biden, the entire world is closely watching the United States, raising questions about the nation's role in global affairs.
Highlighting the critical role the United States has played in preventing a complete Russian takeover of Ukraine, Biden asserted that American support has been instrumental in denying Russia a victory on the battlefield. He commended the "brave people of Ukraine" for their resilience and acknowledged the success achieved through the supply of weapons and ammunition. Biden expressed pride in enabling Ukraine's success and underscored his unwillingness to "walk away" from this commitment.
The President's appeal comes amid heightened tensions between Russia and Ukraine, with the latter facing ongoing military aggression. Biden's call for additional funding is framed not only as a strategic move to bolster Ukraine's defenses but also as a moral imperative to stand by a nation fighting against external aggression. The complex interplay between domestic politics, global diplomacy, and the evolving dynamics of the Russia-Ukraine conflict shapes the ongoing debate in Congress, raising questions about the trajectory of United States foreign policy and its commitment to international alliances.
