Dynamic Cycling – EV Batteries Hold Up Better Than Anticipated
The Post-Cold War Era Is Finished. Liberalism and Democracy Will Go On.It looked like a recipe for disaster. So, when his country's swimmers were being accused of doping earlier this year, one Chinese official cooked up something fast. He blamed it on contaminated noodles. In fact, he argued, it could have been a culinary conspiracy concocted by criminals, whose actions led to the cooking wine used to prepare the noodles being laced with a banned heart drug that found its way into an athlete's system. This theory was spelled out to international anti-doping officials during a meeting and, after weeks of wrangling, finally made it into the thousands of pages of data handed over to the lawyer who investigated the case involving 23 Chinese swimmers who had tested positive for that same drug. The attorney, appointed by the World Anti-Doping Agency, refused to consider that scenario as he sifted through the evidence. In spelling out his reasoning, lawyer Eric Cottier paid heed to the half-baked nature of the theory. "The Investigator considers this scenario, which he has described in the conditional tense, to be possible, no less, no more," Cottier wrote. Even without the contaminated-noodles theory, Cottier found problems with the way WADA and the Chinese handled the case but ultimately determined WADA had acted reasonably in not appealing China's conclusion that its athletes had been inadvertently contaminated. Critics of the way the China case was handled can't help but wonder if a wider exploration of the noodle theory, details of which were discovered by The Associated Press via notes and emails from after the meeting where it was delivered, might have lent a different flavor to Cottier's conclusions. "There are more story twists to the ways the Chinese explain the TMZ case than a James Bond movie," said Rob Koehler, the director general of the advocacy group Global Athlete. "And all of it is complete fiction." In April, reporting from the New York Times and the German broadcaster ARD revealed that the 23 Chinese swimmers had tested positive for the banned heart medication trimetazidine, also known as TMZ. China's anti-doping agency determined the athletes had been contaminated, and so, did not sanction them. WADA accepted that explanation, did not press the case further, and China was never made to deliver a public notice about the "no-fault findings," as is often seen in similar cases. The stock explanation for the contamination was that traces of TMZ were found in the kitchen of a hotel where the swimmers were staying. In his 58-page report, Cottier relayed some suspicions about the feasibility of that chain of events — noting that WADA's chief scientist "saw no other solution than to accept it, even if he continued to have doubts about the reality of contamination as described by the Chinese authorities." But without evidence to support pursuing the case, and with the chance of winning an appeal at almost nil, Cottier determined WADA's "decision not to appeal appears indisputably reasonable." A mystery remained: How did those traces of TMZ get into the kitchen? Shortly after the doping positives were revealed, the Institute of National Anti-Doping Organizations held a meeting on April 30 where it heard from the leader of China's agency, Li Zhiquan. Li's presentation was mostly filled with the same talking points that have been delivered throughout the saga — that the positive tests resulted from contamination from the kitchen. But he expanded on one way the kitchen might have become contaminated, harkening to another case in China involving a low-level TMZ positive. A pharmaceutical factory, he explained, had used industrial alcohol in the distillation process for producing TMZ. The industrial alcohol laced with the drug "then entered the market through illegal channels," he said. The alcohol "was re-used by the perpetrators to process and produce cooking wine, which is an important seasoning used locally to make beef noodles," Li said. "The contaminated beef noodles were consumed by that athlete, resulting in an extremely low concentration of TMZ in the positive sample. "The wrongdoers involved have been brought to justice." This new information raised eyebrows among the anti-doping leaders listening to Li's report. So much so that over the next month, several emails ensued to make sure the details about the noodles and wine made their way to WADA lawyers, who could then pass it onto Cottier. Eventually, Li did pass on the information to WADA general counsel Ross Wenzel and, just to be sure, one of the anti-doping leaders forwarded it, as well, according to the emails seen by the AP. All this came with Li's request that the noodles story be kept confidential. Turns out, it made it into Cottier's report, though he took the information with a grain of salt. "Indeed, giving it more attention would have required it to be documented, then scientifically verified and validated," he wrote. Neither Wenzel nor officials at the Chinese anti-doping agency returned messages from AP asking about the noodles conspiracy and the other athlete who Li suggested had been contaminated by them. Meanwhile, 11 of the swimmers who originally tested positive competed at the Paris Games earlier this year in a meet held under the cloud of the Chinese doping case. Though WADA considers the case closed, Koehler and others point to situations like this as one of many reasons that an investigation by someone other than Cottier, who was hired by WADA, is still needed. "It gives the appearance that people are just making things up as they go along on this, and hoping the story just goes away," Koehler said. "Which clearly it has not."

Lawsuit Update: Donald Trump Rebuked by Central Park 5WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec 19, 2024-- FiscalNote Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: NOTE) ("FiscalNote"), a leading AI-driven enterprise SaaS technology provider of policy and global intelligence, today announced that Conrad Yiu, a member of its Board of Directors and a member of its Corporate Governance Committee and M&A Committee, will retire from the Board effective December 31, 2024, in-line with the fiscal year end and shortly prior to the scheduled end of his three-year term in May 2025. Yiu is Co-founder and Partner of AS1 Growth Partners (“AS1”), a private multi-family investment office based in Sydney, Australia. AS1 invested in FiscalNote in 2020 when, prior to its public listing, FiscalNote was actively expanding its investor base in Australia. Yiu then joined the Board in October 2020, shortly following AS1’s investment. As FiscalNote’s strategic focus has changed since that time, Yiu has decided to retire early to focus on his Australia-based business interests, family and professional commitments. “I want to thank Tim and my fellow Board members for the opportunity to serve the Company over the past four years. I remain an active, long-term investor and supporter of FiscalNote’s mission and management,” said Yiu. “Given the changes since my firm first invested, now is simply the right time for me to concentrate on my other professional commitments based in and focused on Australia, as well as to make more time for personal and family commitments. While I am retiring from the Board early, I strongly believe the Company has the right strategy and the right leadership to take it to its next phase of growth, and I have great confidence in its ability to deliver results and value for both its customers and its shareholders.” “Throughout the past four years and at pivotal times for our Company, Conrad has been a deeply respected and admired partner on our Board, whose views and guidance were especially valuable during our transition to a publicly traded company,” said Tim Hwang, Chairman, CEO, and Co-founder, FiscalNote. “On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, I’d like to thank Conrad for his service and contributions, and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.” Following Yiu’s retirement, the composition of FiscalNote’s Board of Directors will be reduced to nine members – reflecting the streamlined structure of the Company following its divestitures of Board.org and Aicel Technologies in 2024.

Warning over 'disastrous' weather in war-torn Gaza after 9-year-old patient's home ruinedSTRICTLY Come Dancing star Graziano Di Prima has issued a heartfelt tribute to his wife as he rebuilds his life following his axing from the show. Graziano, 30, was sacked by the BBC earlier this year after he was alleged to have "hit and kicked" one of his former dance partners. The Italian dancer, who joined Strictly in 2018, fled the UK amid the scandal and has only recently returned . Graziano has now paid an emotional tribute to his wife Giada on her birthday and thanked her for 'standing by his side'. Taking to Instagram, he shared a section of photographs of himself and professional dancer Giada, who he married in 2022. Graziano wrote: "Today is a special day because it’s the birthday of the most important woman in my life - my wife, Giada. "The strongest woman I know, the one who has changed my life and always stood by my side. "With you, I’ve learned so much, and I keep learning every day." He continued: "I want to dedicate these words to you, even though they’ll never be enough to express how much I love you and how extraordinary you are to me. "You are the best woman I know, my greatest support, my strength, and my love. I want to grow old with you and cherish every single day of my life with you" Graziano signed off by thanking Giada for being his "rock". "I love you endlessly. Thank you for being who you are, for changing my life, and for being my rock. Happy birthday, my love." he added. In July 2022, Graziano and Giada tied the knot in a traditional Roman Catholic ceremony in Sicily. The couple had previously been forced to cancel their wedding plans twice due to the coronavirus pandemic. Earlier this month, Graziano was spotted in London with Giada as they headed to a dance class together. Giada held onto her smiling husband's arm as they made their way inside. This was the first time in months that Graziano has been pictured in the UK. Graziano had previously fled to Italy after it was alleged he had "repeatedly hit and kicked" his 2023 celeb partner, Love Island star Zara McDermott. Video footage, which was filmed during the rehearsal process, reportedly reduced production staff "to tears" and Graziano was sacked hours after BBC bosses watched the clips. GRAZIANO Di Prima has addressed his Strictly Come Dancing sacking with a statement on social media - see the details below. In a statement shared to his Instagram page Graziano wrote: "I deeply regret the events that led to my departure from Strictly. My intense passion and determination to win might have affected my training regime. "Respecting the BBC HR process, I understand it's best for the show that I step away." He continued: "While there are aspects of this story involving external influences that I can't discuss at this time, I remain committed to being strong for my family and friends. "I wish the Strictly family and the BBC nothing but success in the future." He concluded the post: "I also want to thank everyone who has supported my career, both professionally and personally. When the time is right, I will share my story." Last month, however, Graziano teased a return to the limelight. Professing his love for dance, he wrote on Instagram: "Dance has always been the centre of my life, my greatest passion, the path I chose and dedicated years of study, sacrifice, and love to. "After a period of reflection, I feel stronger than ever and eager to return to what I love most: dancing." Graziano continued: "The future is a whole world of new open windows, ready to welcome new dreams and new challenges, and I'm excited to continue this journey with even more determination and inspiration." He added: "A heartfelt thank you to everyone who is always there for me. I'm thrilled to dance again with the same enthusiasm and dedication as always. "See you soon, whether on stage or through new projects that I will be very excited to share with you." Earlier this week, Graziano held a dance class for 100 people alongside Giada and fellow Italian professional Pasquale La Rocca. Pasquale has won Dancing With The Stars - the American version of Strictly - five times. Sharing a video of the event on Instagram, Graziano said he will see fans soon "for more exciting new projects together".English Premier League side Arsenal are reportedly planning a £25 million move for Nigeria international Ademola Lookman, who has been in scintillating form for Italian side Atalanta this season. The Gunners are looking to bolster their attacking options, with Gabriel Martinelli’s underwhelming performances this season prompting the North London club to seek reinforcements on the left wing. Lookman, who has scored 10 goals and five assists this season, has attracted interest from other Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Tottenham, and Newcastle United. The 27-year-old’s stock has risen considerably following his historic hat-trick in last season’s Europa League final victory over Bayer Leverkusen. He became the first player to achieve this feat in a European Cup final. His impressive performances have also earned him a nomination for the 2024 CAF African Footballer of The Year award, and he has been tipped as the favourite to win the prestigious prize in Marrakesh on December 16. Related News Bakambu tips Lookman for CAF award EPL: Arsenal denied by VAR as Fulham hold gunners to 1-1 draw [ICYMI] Serie A: Lookman's late header secures Atalanta 2-1 win over Milan However, Premier League recruitment staff have expressed concerns about Lookman’s previous spells in England, where he struggled to make significant impacts at Everton, Fulham and Leicester City. GiveMeSports reports that scouts will continue to monitor the forward’s performances over the coming months before making a final decision. Lookman’s current form has been crucial in Atalanta’s Serie A title challenge. The Nigerian has scored eight goals and provided four assists in 12 league games as La Dea battle Napoli and Inter Milan for the Scudetto. The forward, whose current contract runs until 2026, has also caught the attention of European giants Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Real Madrid.
