Alpine willing to take Piastri to court for compensation

Alpine willing to take Piastri to court for compensation

Alpine suspects the fight over Oscar Piastri will go beyond Formula 1’s Contract Recognition Board to the High Court in the UK.

But its reason for that belief also implies it might be resigned to losing him to McLaren and its battle is now more about compensation than any genuine possibility of Piastri being Esteban Ocon’s 2023 team-mate.

Alpine is awaiting a CRB ruling on whether it has the legal right to Piastri’s services for the 2023 season.

Across a bizarre nine-hour period last Tuesday, Alpine hinted it might be losing Piastri, then declared he was secure for 2023, then received a public snub from him.

It announced him as Aston Martin-bound Fernando Alonso’s replacement just hours after saying Piastri’s management appeared to be exploring other options – believed to be a deal to replace the struggling Daniel Ricciardo at McLaren.

Piastri then swiftly rejected Alpine’s assertion that he was signed for 2023 with an extraordinary social media post insisting there was no deal and he would not be racing the car.

In an interview with Reuters, Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer outlined a court scenario that he believes might now develop.

“Going to the High Court is over 90% certain what we’ll do,” he said.

“If the CRB says, ‘Your license is only valid at Alpine’, and then he says, ‘That’s great but I’m never driving for them, I’ll just sit out a year’, then you’ve got to go to the High Court for compensation.”

There might be two possibilities that could result in that outcome.

Motor Racing Formula One Testing Abu Dhabi, Uae

The first is, as Szafnauer describes, the eventuality that the CRB rules Piastri’s deal with Alpine is the valid one but the reigning Formula 2 champion still refuses to drive for the team.

The other is that the CRB rules against Alpine, but the team believes that, regardless of the contractual situation, it is entitled to some form of reward given what it has invested in his career so far during his time in its Academy system and as its book drivers this year.

Szafnauer’s comments this week about the “loyalty” Alpine feels Piastri owes it illustrates this stance, though it is not yet clear whether the team would push that as far as a legal case if it’s been proven that it doesn’t have a valid contractual right over Piastri beyond 2022.

There is a potential parallel in the English football regulations, where a club signing an out-of-contract player under 24 is required to pay a fee to the player’s former club to cover its contribution to their training and development so far.

But there is no current precedent for this in F1.

In his conversation with Reuters, Szafnauer did suggest Alpine expects to have to demonstrate the financial value of its investment in Piastri’s development, including the cost of the mileage he’s has in its F1 cars so far – covering an appearance in last December’s young driver test in Abu Dhabi plus running in older cars.

Motor Racing Formula One Testing Abu Dhabi, Uae

“We haven’t sat down with the accountants to figure out everything we’ve spent,” said Szafnauer.

“We will have to do that if we go to the High Court.”

F1 teams are required to respect CRB rulings as one of their terms for participation in the championship.

The CRB’s remit does include deciding on compensation payments in the event that there are genuinely conflicting contractual situations, but the scenarios of Piastri refusing to drive for Alpine regardless or Alpine compensation seeking for its wider investment may both go beyond what the CRB’s jurisdiction covers.

Its power is effectively only as great as what the parties involved will accept, although its usual practice is to meet with those parties to try to agree to a resolution before reaching the point where it has to pass judgment itself.

Jan. 6 committee acquires Alex Jones’s texts: report

Alex Jones's attorney 'messed up' and sent two years of texts to Sandy Hook parents' lawyers

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attacks on the US Capitol has reportedly obtained text messages from far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones after his legal team accidentally sent two years of his phone records to attorneys in a defamation case against him .

CNN reported on Monday that the texts had been turned over by the lawyer who represented parents of a Sandy Hook school shooting victim, who were awarded $45.2 million in punitive damages in their civil trial against Jones.

Jones had pushed the conspiracy theory that the 2012 shooting that killed 20 children and six teachers at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., was a hoax, and that the parents were “crisis actors.”

The Jan. 6 committee subpoenaed Jones in November of last year for his alleged role in planning and funding the events that transpired that day.

He appeared for a deposition, but said that he invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent “almost 100 times.”

The committee has accused Jones and other right-wing figures of stoking the rioters leading up to and during the Capitol breach, as well as peddling former President Trump’s false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

Jones breached the restricted area on the Capitol grounds on Jan. 6, though he didn’t go into the building.

The exact dates of Jones’s phone records aren’t yet clear, but the committee has expressed interest in what Jones may have said in texts leading up to the attacks.

A spokesperson for the Jan. 6 committee declined to comment on whether the texts had been received.

The Hill has also reached out to the Justice Department and the Sandy Hook parents’ attorney, Mark Bankston.

NAB third-quarter profit jumps to $1.8b

NAB third-quarter profit jumps to $1.8b

Morningstar analyst Nathan Zaia said NAB’s bad debts were lower than he was expecting, but the market was most likely reacting to the net interest margins being down slightly and the increase in the forecasts for operating costs.

loading

“We didn’t really expect much in the way of net interest margin upside to be evident in the third quarter. I think you’ll probably see more of it in the fourth quarter,” he said. “It takes time. The last couple of rate increases aren’t even in this result, and it takes time after you’ve passed that onto your loans to get that benefit.”

Citi analyst Brendan Sproules said NAB had posted a weaker than expected profit update, which would likely disappoint the market given expectations for revenue growth were rising amid cash rate rises. He pointed out NAB’s underlying revenue growth of 2 per cent was well below ANZ’s 5 per cent.

However, he said NAB’s $11 million in bad debts was well below the consensus estimates.

“Looking to [the fourth quarter]the impact of recent RBA cash rate rises will deliver a very different set of results,” he said.

Goldman Sachs’ Andrew Lyons also said that given the back-end nature of the cash rate rises in the third quarter, the bank will see the benefits in the fourth quarter. He said the lower than expected performance was driven by weaker revenue.

White Funds Management managing director Angus Gluskie agreed and was surprised by the market’s reaction to NAB’s update.

“I think a significant positive in that NAB update is the fact that not only did the bad and doubtful debts remain negligible in the period to June 30, but also the direction of the arrears or impaired loans, in fact, continued to diminish,” he said.

He said the full impact of the rate rises is more likely to be felt in the near future.

NAB, alongside the other big banks, raised variable interest rates for home loan customers by 0.5 percentage points last week, passing on the Reserve Bank’s cash rate rise in full.

Since the RBA began raising interest rates in May, banks’ home loan rates have risen by far more than their rates on deposits, a dynamic that is boosting bank profits while attracting growing scrutiny from politicians and regulators.

Tower of Fantasy Surpasses 4 Million Pre-Registrations, So Two More Giveaway Events Added

Tower of Fantasy Surpasses 4 Million Pre-Registrations, So Two More Giveaway Events Added

Tower of Fantasy will be officially released this week, and now that interested players have pushed the pre-registration numbers to over 4 million, the team has announced some more bonuses those pre-registered players will get after launch.

There will be two additional limited time rewards added since the numbers exceeded expectations and show a strong amount of interest. The first release, Shoulder to Shoulder: Round 1 will start at launch on August 10th and run through August 17th. The second, Shoulder to Shoulder: Round 2 will begin on August 17th and also run for a week, through August 24th.

This will work like the other pre-registration bonuses will, with the need to complete a certain early part of the main story in order to unlock and access your account’s rewards page. After completing “Ecological Station Intruders”, this will open up.

Rewards for this new round will include Vehicle 2613, red nucleus x10 and gold nucleus x10, with the red nucleus available in the second week post-launch. Still, these rewards join all of the rest of the pre-registration loot and should help anyone get off to a good start.

With release so close, if you’re still interested in pre-registering, this will still be open for just over two more days for the global launch. Tower of Fantasy‘s shared open-world RPG gameplay, emphasis on group dynamics in an anime-inspired, and fast-paced sci-fi fantasy world is all nearly here. If you’re curious just what this is all about, how teaming up will look, and much more about this new title from Hotta Studio, check out our recent preview.

Players can begin pre-loading the game tomorrow, ahead of the launch time in various regions. That launch time will be 8pm PDT / 11pm Eastern on August 10th.

3 men who killed Ahmaud Arbery sentenced on federal hate crime charges – WSB-TV Channel 2

3 men who killed Ahmaud Arbery sentenced on federal hate crime charges – WSB-TV Channel 2

GLYNN COUNTY, Ga. — The three men who killed Ahmaud Arbery have now been sentenced on federal hate crime charges.

Both Greg and Travis McMichael received another life sentence. Their neighbor William “Roddie” Bryan was sentenced to 35 years.

Channel 2’s Audrey Washington was inside the courtroom Monday where two of the three men apologized to the family.

In a stunning moment Greg McMichael and Bryan turned to Arbery’s family and apologized. When asked if he wanted to say anything, Travis McMichael simply said no.

It has taken years, but Wanda Cooper Jones, Arbery’s mother, and the rest of Arbery’s family said they feel a sense of peace.

“I’m thankful because It’s been a long fight but I’m thankful that God gave us the strength to continue to fight,” Cooper Jones said. “It was 74 days before we actually got an arrest, so think about today. We got convictions on a federal level.”

A US district judge sentenced all three men convicted of murdering Arbery on federal hate crime charges Monday.

RELATED STORIES:

In February, a jury ruled that Greg McMichael, his son Travis and Bryan targeted Arbery because he was Black.

First to go before the judge Monday morning was Travis McMichael. The judge sentenced him to life plus 10 years on the hate crime charges.

Greg McMichael was sentenced next. I have received life plus seven years.

And finally, Bryan was sentenced Monday afternoon, with the judge giving him 420 months in prison.

Bryan never fired a shot, but the judge said he chased Arbery and then recorded the deadly shooting.

In a surprising moment, inside court, Greg McMichael turned to the Arbery family and apologized. Bryan also told the family that he was sorry.

“Unfortunately, his apology doesn’t bring back my son. I do accept the apology,” Cooper Jones told Washington.

“When you caught up and it’s looking bad for you and you try to apologize, that’s the wrong time to make an apology. He should have done that, day one,” said Marcus Arbery, Ahmaud Arbery’s father.

As for the Arbery family, they said their focus now turns the former Glynn County district attorney who was indicted for misconduct in the Arbery case.

Why becoming a gray nomad could affect your pension

Why becoming a gray nomad could affect your pension

As the number of retirees grows and international travel becomes more problematic and expensive because of the pandemic, there is a surge in the number of gray nomads traveling Australia.

After all, what could be simpler than taking your caravan to drive around our country? No lost luggage, no fluctuating fares, and the freedom to do what you want.

An extended period as a gray nomad has the potential to affect the age pension.

However, there is a potential problem: the effect on your age pension.

A reader tells me that they use their son’s home as a base for mail and have rented out their house for three years, to gain some income as they travel.

However, they are concerned that their pension may be negatively affected because, once they move out, it would become assessable under the pension assets test. Their home is worth $900,000 which, together with their superannuation, would be enough to wipe out their pension eligibility.

This issue certainly needs thinking about if becoming a gray nomad is on your bucket list.

A Centrelink spokesman tells me that you can be absent from your home for up to 12 months and still be considered a homeowner, which means your principal place of residence is exempt from the pension assets test.

If you are overseas and unable to return because of circumstances beyond your control, this period may be extended. However, except for this circumstance, once the 12 months have expired, your house would be counted for the assets test. And this could be enough to make you lose the pension.

If you resume occupancy of your home within 12 months, and later leave the home again, a new 12-month exemption period begins.

The Garmin Enduro 2 Is Garmin’s New Top Sports Watch

The Garmin Enduro 2 Is Garmin's New Top Sports Watch

The original Garmin Enduro lived up to its name by offering stupendous battery life, but unless you really did crave the joy of only charging your watch once a month, it was a hard sell compared with the best running watches like the Garmin Fenix ​​7.

That’s because, as I noted in my Garmin Enduro review, it was more expensive but lacked some key features like music storage and maps, compromises made presumably in order to free up room for a bigger battery.

Leading AFL journalist Caroline Wilson has labeled the actions of Lance Franklin’s management team as “sloppy” as the champion forward navigates his options for 2023 and beyond.

Franklin released a statement on Saturday declaring he had put contract talks on hold until the end of the season.

The news, dropped by Franklin’s new manager Adam Finch, came after the 1000-goal superstar was linked to a move to the Lions as he nears the end of his nine-year, $10 million contract with the Swans.

Given the strong relationship between club and player and the constancy of finals appearances since Franklin joined in 2014, Wilson told Nine’s Footy Classified she was surprised to see one of the game’s biggest names at a “vague cross road” with Sydney.

“It feels sloppy from the Franklin camp – from his management,” she said.

“I think if Sydney had a wish, they would probably wish that Liam Pickering was still managing Lance Franklin.”

Pickering was the man who brokered Franklin’s historic $10 million deal in 2014.

He spoke on radio over the weekend after reports of the potential Lions deal and Swans stalemate were leaked.

“”I certainly wouldn’t be doing this in the press… I have no doubt he’s playing at the Swans (next year) and they’ll get there. He’s not going to leave on $100,000 (difference),” Pickering told SEN.

“I think he’s worth $700,000, Sydney needs to work out whether they can fit him into the salary cap.”

Port Adelaide great Kane Cornes was also surprised the Franklin negotiations are being played out publicly.

“(The Swans) kept the biggest, most high profile contract ever so secret that no one knew about it, and all of a sudden this has played out through the media so it’s been handled poorly,” Cornes said.

In the statement, the 35-year-old said where, or if, he would pull on the boots in 2023 would be a “family decision”, with wife Jesinta reportedly motivated to relocate north to be closer to family on the Gold Coast.

“I think he’s genuinely anxious about whether he plays on or not and it’s stressing him out,” Wilson said.

“I don’t think this is about money. I don’t think they had agreed on the money, but I think – say it was half a million dollars – I think they could have come to terms on that.”

This prompted AFL great Matthew Lloyd to ask what Franklin could be concerned about.

“About what he does next year, about where he is going to live – he was always going to live in Sydney, now they’re going to live on the Gold Coast we hear, or somewhere in Queensland,” Wilson said.

“I don’t think it’s about money.”
