Five New York City public employee pension funds, along with Oregon’s public employee retirement fund, allege that former chairman Rupert Murdoch and other Fox Corp. leaders deliberately turned a blind eye to liability risks posed by reporting false claims of vote rigging by election technology companies Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic USA. Recommended Videos Smartmatic is suing Fox News for defamation in New York, alleging damages of $2.7 billion. It recently settled a lawsuit in the District of Columbia against One America News Network, another conservative outlet, over reports of vote fraud. Dominion also filed several defamation lawsuits against those who spread conspiracy theories blaming its election equipment for Donald Trump’s loss in 2020. Last year, Fox News settled a defamation lawsuit filed by Dominion in Delaware for $787 million. The shareholder plaintiffs also allege that Fox corporate leaders ignored “red flags” about liability arising from a 2017 report suggesting that Seth Rich, a Democratic National Committee staffer, may have been killed because he had leaked Democratic party emails to Wikileaks during the 2016 presidential campaign. Rich, 27, was shot in 2016 in Washington, D.C., in what authorities have said was an attempted robbery. Fox News retracted the Seth Rich story a week after its initial broadcast, but Rich’s parents sued the network for falsely portraying their son as a criminal and traitor. Fox News settled the lawsuit in 2020 for “millions of dollars,” shortly before program hosts Lou Dobbs and Sean Hannity were to be deposed, according to the shareholder lawsuit. Joel Friedlander, an attorney for the institutional shareholders, argued that Fox officials waited until the company’s reporting about Rich became a national scandal before addressing the issue. Similarly, according to the shareholders, corporate officials, including Rupert Murdoch and his son, CEO Lachlan Murdoch, allowed Fox News to continue broadcasting false narratives about the 2020 election, despite internal communications suggesting that they knew there was no evidence to support the conspiracy theories. “The Murdochs could have minimized future monetary exposure, but they chose not to,” Friedlander said. Instead, he argued, they engaged in “bad-faith decision making” with other defendants in a profit-driven effort to retain viewers and remain in Trump’s good graces. “Decisions were made at the highest level to promote pro-Trump conspiracy theories without editorial control,” Friedlander said. Defense attorneys argue that the case should be dismissed because the plaintiffs filed their lawsuit without first demanding that the Fox Corp. board take action, as required under Delaware law. They say the plaintiffs also failed to demonstrate that a pre-suit demand on the Fox board would have been futile because at least half of the directors face a substantial likelihood of liability or are not independent of someone who does. Beyond the “demand futility” issue, defense attorneys also argue that allegations that Fox officials breached their fiduciary duties fail to meet the pleading standards under Delaware and therefore should be dismissed. Defense attorney William Savitt argued, for example, that neither the Rich settlement, which he described as “immaterial,” nor the allegedly defamatory statements about Dominion and Smartmatic constitute red flags putting directors on notice about the risk of defamation liability. Nor do they demonstrate that directors acted in bad faith or that Fox “utterly failed” to implement and monitor a system to report and mitigate legal risks, including defamation liability risk, according to the defendants. Savitt noted that the Rich article was promptly retracted, and that the settlement included no admission of liability. The Dominion and Smartmatic statements, meanwhile, gave rise themselves to the currently liability issues and therefore can not serve as red flags about future liability risks, according to the defendants. “A ‘red flag’ must be what the term commonly implies — warning of a risk of a liability-causing event that allows the directors to take action to avert the event, not notice that a liability-causing event has already occurred,” defense attorneys wrote in their motion to dismiss. Defense attorneys also say there are no factual allegations to support claims that Fox officials condoned illegal conduct in pursuit of corporate profits, or that they deliberately ignored their oversight responsibilities. They note that a “bad outcome” is not sufficient to demonstrate “bad faith.” Vice Chancellor J. Travis Laster is expected to rule within 90 days.

Staff are experiencing mental and physical issues due to being "hyperconnected" through digital technology, according to the findings. Researchers from the University of Nottingham’s Schools of Psychology and Medicine conducted detailed interviews with employees from a variety of professions. They found that the cognitive and affective effort associated with constant connectivity and high work pace driven by the digital workplace is detrimental to employee well-being. The study is the final part of a research project exploring the "dark side effects" of digital working which include stress, overload, anxiety and fear of missing out. The results, published in the journal Frontiers in Organisational Psychology , highlight an "overarching" theme of "digital workplace technology intensity" as a result of digital workplace job demands. The research team says their findings indicate a "sense of burden" associated with working digitally which surfaced for most participants in perceptions of overload and feelings of being "overwhelmed" by the proliferation of messages, apps and meetings in the digital workplace. They say "fear of missing out" - or FOMO- on important information and contact with colleagues also contributed to stress and strain for digital workers, as did hassles encountered when using digital technologies. (Photo by Tara Winstead via Pexels) Study leader Elizabeth Marsh said: “Digital workplaces benefit both organizations and employees, for example by enabling collaborative and flexible work. "However, what we have found in our research is that there is a potential dark side to digital working, where employees can feel fatigue and strain due to being overburdened by the demands and intensity of the digital work environment. "A sense of pressure to be constantly connected and keeping up with messages can make it hard to psychologically detach from work." Fourteen employees were interviewed in detail and asked about their perceptions and experiences of digital workplace job demands and impacts to their health. Comments from interviewees included: “[It’s] just more difficult to leave it behind when it's all online and you can kind of jump on and do work at any time of the day or night.” Another participant said: “You kind of feel like you have to be there all the time. You have to be a little green light,” while another commented: “It's that pressure to respond [...] I've received an e-mail, I've gotta do this quickly because if not, someone might think “What is she doing from home?” In their analysis, the researchers explored potential underlying psychological, technological and organizational factors that may influence ways in which employees experience digital workplace job demands. The findings showed that participants' dark side experiences were particularly shaped by a pervasive and constant state of connectivity in the digital workplace, termed "hyperconnectivity." Those experiences contributed to a sense of pressure to be available and the erosion of work-life boundaries, according to the research team. (Photo by Thirdman via Pexels) They said the evidence also indicates that "hyperconnectivity" has become the norm among workers post-pandemic. PhD student Marsh said: “The findings underline the need for both researchers and professionals to identify, understand and mitigate the digital workplace job demands to protect the well-being of digital workers.” The research also makes practical suggestions for employers including helping workers improve their digital skills and empowering them to manage boundaries in the digital workplace. The team says their findings could also be used by IT departments to consider how to improve the usability and accessibility of the digital workplace, as well as reining in the proliferation of applications. Dr. Alexa Spence, Professor of Psychology, said: “This research extends the Job Demands-Resources literature by clarifying digital workplace job demands including hyperconnectivity and overload." She added: "It also contributes a novel construct of digital workplace technology intensity which adds new insight on the causes of technostress in the digital workplace. "In doing so, it highlights the potential health impacts, both mental and physical, of digital work.”Why Trump won~IPatterson’s 25 help Northwestern State defeat Houston Christian 64-57

InspeCity Partners Japanese Startup To Tackle Space Debris

Earlier this year, before the fate of the 2024 presidential election was sealed, former President Donald Trump embarked on a campaign trail that would take him all over the US, including Pennsylvania, where he served fries at McDonald’s. In a memo following Trump’s visit, McDonald’s made it clear that the politician was not invited to visit the Feasterville-Trevose franchise location by the company. “McDonald’s does not endorse candidates for elected office and that remains true in this race for the next President,” it stated. “We are not red or blue—we are golden.” But when you consider the now president-elect’s diet, it’s unsurprising that he chose to visit one of the fast-food giant’s restaurants during his campaign tour. According to several reports, he eats McDonald’s most days. In fact, in 2023, Trump’s son Donald Trump Jr. said on his Triggered podcast that “no one knows” the McDonald’s menu better than his father. He added: “No one probably eats more of it, per capita.” Beyond McDonald’s, Trump is known for eating a variety of fast food. In 2016, for example, he posted a picture of himself on X, then known as Twitter, eating fried chicken from KFC with a knife and fork. He also enjoys Doritos, pizza, steak and chips, and copious amounts of Diet Coke, according to one recent article from The Telegraph , in which reporter Gareth Davies describes his efforts trying to eat like the president-elect for one week. @realDonaldTrump | X RELATED: The Cabbage Soup Diet: Quick Fix or Health Risk? In the piece, Davies labels Trump’s diet “a bland bonanza of beige” and “that of a child.” He says that at first, he was excited to have an excuse to eat lots of fast food, but quickly realized he’d made “a horrible mistake.” It wasn’t just that eating that much McDonald’s and KFC day after day was boring, but the diet–which is devoid of nutritional value— seriously started to impact his health. “My hands, for the entire week, were always cold. And that’s not something I ever suffer with,” he said. “I was also barely going to the toilet, and when I was, I really had to try,” he added. Davies also noted that his urine “was like squeezy honey” and “clearly so unhealthy.” He finished the article by saying “Frankly, I don’t quite understand how Donald Trump is still alive.” Why following Trump’s diet is risky for your health According to Sapna Peruvemba, MS, RDN, a vegan registered dietitian and founder of Health by Sapna , Trump’s reliance on fast food means that his diet is devoid of essential nutrients. It’s also high in ultra-processed foods and saturated fats and contains next to no fiber at all. In the short term, she notes that this can lead to bloating and constipation (as Davies describes), as well as acne, brittle nails, hair loss, and brain fog. “Nutrient deficiencies can sap your energy and dull your focus,” she explains. Canva In the long term, however, this type of diet may have serious consequences. “Heart disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cancer risks go up,” she says, before adding that “studies show a diet high in ultra-processed foods can raise the risk of premature death by 31 percent.” Last year, one study from the University of Bristol found that people who consumed more ultra-processed foods like potato chips, candy, fizzy drinks, and hot dogs had a higher risk of head, neck, and esophageal cancers. Processed meats, like those found in fast-food burgers and nuggets, for example, have also been linked with a higher risk of everything from heart disease to diabetes to dementia . Joyce N. Boghosian | Official White House Photograph To wash down all of the fast food, Trump also tends to drink Diet Coke instead of water. In fact, he could be drinking up to 12 cans a day, reports suggest. According to Peruvemba, this habit could also have some major health consequences. “Each can contains around 200 milligrams of the controversial sweetener aspartame,” she says. “According to the FDA’s acceptable daily intake, you’d need to hit 10 cans a day to exceed the safe limit.” She adds that regular Diet Coke consumption is also linked with a higher risk of conditions like metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. “It may not pack sugar, but its metabolic impact is still a concern,” she says. Plus, it’s also not great for hydration. “Sodium and caffeine can act like hydration hijackers, pulling water from your body rather than replenishing it,” she adds (which likely explains Davies’ “squeezy honey” urine). Peruvemba is keen to point out that there isn’t anything wrong with occasionally eating fast food or drinking Diet Coke, it’s about the bigger picture. “A burger here or fries there won’t derail your health if most of your diet is packed with fruits, veggies, legumes, and whole grains. It’s not about being perfect,” she says. But Trump isn’t alone. Research suggests that most Americans follow the Standard American Diet, which is low in fruits and vegetables and high in salt, saturated fat, and ultra-processed foods. For some, this is due to a lack of access to fresh, nutritious food. The US is home to more than 6,500 food deserts , which are areas that are severely lacking in places to buy healthy affordable food, but have plenty of processed and fast food on offer. However, for others, like billionaire Trump, it’s about personal choice or unhealthy habits. Canva BECOME A VEGNEWS VIP : Get exclusive product deals, freebies, and perks galore! Peruvemba says that even eating a few more healthy plant-based foods at first can make a big difference to health. “Even adding just one serving of fruits or vegetables per day can start to fill nutritional gaps,” she says. “This small addition packs fiber , phytochemicals, vitamins, and minerals into a diet that’s otherwise lacking. And there’s a ripple effect—when you eat more plants, you naturally eat less of the other stuff.” It’s about “progress, not perfection,” says Peruvemba. And one more final piece of advice: when it comes to diet, don’t look to the president-elect for guidance. “It’s the dietary equivalent of a political scandal,” she notes. “High drama, no balance.” DON'T MISS OUT : Get breaking news, recipes, and our weekly vegan deal by signing up for our FREE VegNewsletter Ariana Grande’s Diet Isn’t Wicked: Here’s What She Eats, From Smoothies to Edamame Pond Water Smoothies: Inside Princess Kate’s Favorite Green Drink Inside Demi Moore’s Raw Vegan Diet: Is It Safe?

PALERMO, Calif.

The shooting occurred Wednesday afternoon at the Feather River School of Seventh-Day Adventists, a private, K-8 school in Palermo, a community of 5,500 people about 65 miles (104 km) north of Sacramento.
