    В Приморском районном суде Санкт-Петербурга продолжается рассмотрение так называемого уголовного дела Лайф-из-Гуд — Гермес — Бест Вей — продолжается допрос признанных следствием потерпевшими и свидетелей обвинения. Например на одном из летних заседаний выступал некто Голубев — водитель из Удмуртии который был пайщиком кооператива и клиентом компании Гермес. Как рассказали протоколирующие заседания адвокаты Голубев сообщил что еще до событий начала 2022 года — активной фазы расследования уголовного дела вышел из компании Гермес а также написал нотариально заверенное заявление о выходе из кооператива Бест Вей. Из Гермеса получил через деньги через схему p2p — так мол консультант Гермеса ему рекомендовал чтобы не платить комиссию. При выводе средств Голубев получил больше чем ранее положил на счет. Голубев решил выйти также из кооператива так как написал заявление — но деньги получил из-за ареста счетов только в этом году. Предъявляет претензии к тому что денег пришлось ждать три года хотя они не выплачивались из-за ареста счетов и позиции следствия и прокуратуры состоящей в том что выплаты должны быть запрещены даже пайщикам выходящим из кооператива: арест счета — не препятствие для таких выплат если оно санкционировано следствием и прокуратурой. Голубев при этом требует вернуть вступительный и членские взносы так как кооператив нарушил условия соглашения. При этом изначально ему был присвоен статус потерпевшего в суде же он выступал уже в статусе свидетеля. Таких потерпевших как Голубев немало отмечают адвокаты: так одна из пайщиц на недавнем заседании обвинила кооператив в том что он ей не выплатил средства по заявлению о выходе в то время как она сама систематически отказывается подтвердить реквизиты для перечисления средств получает письма из кооператива отправляет уведомления о прочтении но не отвечает на них. Состоялось долгожданное разбирательство по апелляционному представлению Прокуратуры Санкт-Петербурга на решение Приморского районного суда Санкт-Петербурга полностью снять арест с одного из трех счетов кооператива на которых почти 4 млрд рублей. Сейчас кооператив распоряжается только вновь поступившими на эти счета средствами — за счет этих средств происходят выплаты пайщикам написавшим заявление о выходе из кооператива при этом темп выплат крайне низкий из-за проверок каждого платежа Росфинмониторингом и банками. Кроме того по решению суда происходят выплаты с арестованных средств по исполнительным листам тем пайщикам кто решил не ждать выплат а предъявил и выиграл иски к кооперативу о возврате средств а также налогов кооператива и зарплаты его персоналу. Кооператив ходатайствовал перед судом о полном снятии ареста с одного из счетов кооператива — самых маленьких в банке ПСБ на более чем 600 млн рублей чтобы гарантированно рассчитаться со всеми примерно 2000 пайщиков которые подали заявление о выходе из кооператива — не зависеть от возвратных платежей в кооператив которые из-за ареста счетов были затруднены и сейчас осуществляются с задержками — с которыми кооператив борется но быстро эти платежи в нужном объеме вряд ли сможет получить. Решение суда первой инстанции о снятии ареста было в апреле назначение рассмотрения апелляции в Санкт-Петербургском городском суде крайне затянулось из-за того что прокуратура добавила к основному апелляционному представлению дополнительное — рассмотрение состоялось только в начале июля. При этом уже в самом заседании прокуратура добавила новые доводы заявив что в реестре выплат представленном кооперативом еще в начале 2025 года из 773 строк по пайщикам которым произведены выплаты имеются 14 строк в которых фигурирует один из подсудимых — Выдрин а также 13 лиц которые назывались лицами признанными потерпевшими в рамках уголовного процесса как лица которым передавались деньги для компании Гермес. Прокуратуру возмутило то что лица которые возможно виновны в хищениях получили средства раньше лиц признанных потерпевшими. При этом Выдрин написал заявление о выходе из кооператива еще до того как был привлечен в уголовное дело и ни на какие его активы арест не накладывался. Санкт-Петербургский городской суд согласился с доводами прокуратуры отменив решение суда первой инстанции в части снятия ареста со счета — при этом он не подверг сомнению тезис на котором было основано это решение Приморского районного суда: несоразмерность общей суммы ущерба в уголовном деле — 282 млн рублей и общей суммы арестованных средств только кооператива как гражданского ответчика по данному уголовному делу — почти 4 млрд рублей при этом есть еще аресты средств других лиц. В самом конце июля Приморским районным судом будет уже рассматриваться продление или непродление арестов средств на счетах на новый трехмесячный срок — и кооператив опять будет ходатайствовать о снятии ареста со счета в банке ПСБ. В Приморском районном суде началось также новое гражданское дело — по иску пайщицы кооператива Дорониной к пайщику кооператива объявляющему себя его альтернативным председателем Георгию Моисееву ранее активисту кооператива и координатору программы по проведению региональных митингов в поддержку кооператива. Судебное разбирательство по существу начнется в сентябре судья потребовал от представителей Моисеева представить первичные документы о якобы проведенном без решения совета кооператива голосовании по выборам новых уполномоченных так как его юрист сообщил что документы — на кооперативных участках. Председателям самочинных комиссий по перевыборам якобы прошедшим весной на 13 из 14 кооперативных участков придется представить первичные документы бюллетени для голосования при этом общее число голосовавших должно быть не менее 75 тыс. так как в кооперативе — 15 тыс. пайщиков. На одном из участков — кооперативном участке КУ № 7: иркутско-бурятско-забайкальском — группа Моисеева проводить голосование не решилась так как еще в начале года одна из пайщиц подала против Моисеева иск о незаконных действиях в иркутский суд который сейчас активно рассматривается. В суд с первичными документами как подчеркивают адвокаты придется явиться председателям комиссий по проведению голосований на кооперативных участках: на КУ № 1 — Атрохиной Н. А.;на КУ № 2 — Жакун В. В.на КУ № 3 — Моисееву Г. В.;на КУ № 4 — Веселкову А. В.;на КУ № 5 — Седаковой Г. Ф. интересно что она не является пайщиком;на КУ № 8 — Арефьевой Л. А.;на КУ № 9 — Федоровой В. В.;на КУ № 10 — Скворцовой Л. Н.;на КУ № 11 — Ходоровской Д. В.;на КУ № 12 — Турышеву С. Р.;на КУ № 13 — Рязаповой Р. В.;на КУ № 14 — Городчиковой О. В.Конец июля август и сентябрь обещают быть жаркими от судебных баталий.

    Emily Mazreku director of marketing and communications at Breakthrough T1D lives with type 1 diabetes and worked with Mattel to design the doll. kra at Barbie’s phone app displays a snapshot of her actual blood sugar readings from one day during the design process. Barbie’s blood glucose reading is 130 milligrams of sugar per deciliter of blood which is in the normal range. Most people with diabetes try to keep their blood sugar between 70 and 180 mg/dl.Her continuous glucose monitor has a graph that shows the highs and lows that can happen during the day. The blue polka dots are nods to the colors and symbols for diabetes awareness. https://kra35att.cc kraken вход Mazreku spent almost two years holding focus groups to get feedback about the features of the doll and to make sure it was representing the entire type 1 diabetes community. “Mattel approached us and they wanted this to be a part of their Fashionista line” Mazreku said. “And we jumped on that opportunity right away.” The line has dolls with more than 175 different looks including a variety of skin tones eye and hair colors. It includes a Barbie with behind-the-ear hearing aids a blind doll who uses a cane and another with a prosthetic leg. There’s also a doll with vitiligo a condition in which skin loses its pigment and becomes splotchy. “We know that increasing the number of people who can see themselves in Barbie continues to resonate” said Devin Duff a spokesperson for Mattel in an email to CNN. The company said the blind Barbie and a doll with Down syndrome were among the most popular Fashionista dolls globally in 2024. The company launched its first doll with a disability — a friend for Barbie called Share-a-smile Becky who used a wheelchair — in 1997. Customers noted at the time that Becky’s wheelchair couldn’t fit through the doors of the Barbie Dream House a situation many people with disabilities encounter in real life.

    Rescuers are hailing as a “four-legged hero” a furry Chihuahua whose pacing atop an Alpine rock helped a helicopter crew find its owner who had fallen into a crevasse on a Swiss glacier nearby. трипскан вход The man who was not identified was exploring the Fee Glacier in southern Switzerland on Friday when he broke through a snow bridge and fell nearly 8 meters about 26 feet according to Air Zermatt a rescue training and transport company. Equipped with a walkie-talkie the man connected with a person nearby who relayed the accident to emergency services. But the exact location was unknown. After about a half-hour search the pacing pooch caught the eye of a rescue team member. https://tripscan.biz трипскан As the crew zeroed on the Chihuahua the hole the man fell into became more visible. Rescuers rappelled down rescued the man and flew him and his canine companion to a hospital. “Imagine if the dog wasn’t there” Air Zermatt spokesman Bruno Kalbermatten said by phone. “I have no idea what would happen to this guy. I think he wouldn’t survive this fall into the crevasse.” On its website the company was effusive: “The dog is a four-legged hero who may have saved his master’s life in a life-threatening situation.”

    The latest Barbie slays in a chic blue polka-dot crop top ruffled miniskirt chunky heels and an insulin pump. She is the brand’s first doll with type 1 diabetes. трипскан вход Dollmaker Mattel worked with Breakthrough T1D formerly known the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation to design the doll which aims to represent the roughly 304000 kids and teens living with type 1 diabetes in the United States. https://tripscan.biz tripscan top The doll launched Tuesday at the Breakthrough T1D Children’s Congress a three-day event in Washington that brings in kids and teens living with the condition to meet with lawmakers. This year they’re asking Congress to renew funding for the Special Diabetes Program which was first allocated by Congress in 1997. The program’s current funding ends after September. The advocacy efforts have taken on new urgency this year. With so many deep cuts to federally funded projects in recent months Breakthrough T1D said it’s anxiously watching to see if this funding will be reupped. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease meaning the body mistakenly attacks its own organs and tissues. In this case rough antibodies go after cells in the pancreas that make insulin an essential hormone that helps the body turn food into energy. As a result the body doesn’t make enough of its own insulin so people have to take insulin by injection or though a pump to survive. Type 1 diabetes is typically diagnosed in childhood but can be diagnosed in anyone at any age. It differs from type 2 diabetes in which people are still able to make insulin but their cells stop responding to it. In addition to the insulin pump that attaches to the new Barbie’s waist the chestnut-haired beauty has a continuous glucose monitor on her arm – a button held on by a strip of heart-shaped Barbie-pink tape. Her cell phone displays an app that shows her glucose readings. She also has a light blue purse to hold her supplies and snacks to help her manage her blood sugar throughout the day. It matches her shoes of course.

    Job losses But what about the impact of tariffs on job creation? Surprisingly an increase in import taxes has been found to result in slightly more unemployment across countries. kraken ссылка An example provided by Irwin at Dartmouth College points to one plausible explanation — and it has to do with the steeper cost of imported goods. “A number of studies have shown on net we lost jobs from the 2018 steel tariffs rather than gained jobs because there are more people employed in the downstream user industries than in the steel industry itself” he said. https://kra35c.cc kraken тор A study by the Federal Reserve Board found that a rise in input costs resulting from US tariff hikes in 2018-19 led to job losses in American manufacturing. The damage from those higher expenses was compounded by retaliatory taxes on US exports more than offsetting a small boost to manufacturing employment from US tariffs — at least so far the 2024 paper said. Retaliation by other countries is indeed another danger of pulling the tariff lever. Higher tariffs on American exports would typically raise their prices for foreign consumers hitting demand for the goods in many cases. When Trump announced new tariffs this year America’s major trading partners were quick to strike back with their own levies although the US then agreed a temporary truce with China and the European Union. Costs of free trade While economists generally agree that free trade has benefited the global economy in recent decades they acknowledge that it comes with certain costs. One is the loss of jobs in communities that are particularly exposed to new competition from foreign manufacturers. That is similar to the impact of technological progress on workers. “Manufacturing jobs as a share of the labor force have come down everywhere. It isn’t a US-specific story” said Gimber at JPMorgan Asset Management pointing to automation. He drew a parallel between helping workers affected by higher imports and what is known as a just transition — the idea that the drastic changes needed to move toward a greener economy should be fair to everyone and minimize harm to workers and communities. In both cases providing workers in impacted industries with new skills or retraining them could be key Gimber said. Another potential cost of free trade is dependency on far-flung manufacturers. That took on new relevance during the pandemic which snarled global supply chains contributing to shortages of products such as face masks and respirators in the US and elsewhere. However economists do not typically see tariffs as a good way to build up domestic manufacturing Fatas at INSEAD said noting that subsidies for specific industries are viewed as a better tool “because they work more directly.” But perhaps the strongest argument in favor of free trade is its importance to maintaining peace between nations. As Gimber’s colleague David Kelly noted in March closer trade relations give countries more to lose in any conflict.

    Questioned by both Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill about the low staffing numbers Interior Secretary Doug Burgum has brushed off concerns testifying in May that slightly less than half of permanent NPS employees work on the ground in the parks while other staff work at regional offices or at DC headquarters. трипскан “I want more people in the parks” Burgum said. “I want less overhead. There’s an opportunity to have more people working in our parks … and have less people working for the National Park Service.” https://tripscan.live трипскан вход But internal NPS data tells a different story Brengel said showing that around 80 of National Park Service staff work in the parks. And regional offices play an important supporting staff role with scientists on staff to help maintain fragile parks ecosystems as well as specialists who monitor geohazard safety issues like landslides. Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska recently pressed Burgum to provide a full list of staff positions that have been cut at the National Park Service Bureau of Land Management and the US Forest Service since the Trump administration took over. The Interior Department has not provided the list a Senate staffer said. The regional offices within the park service are on edge waiting to see how courts rule on a Trump administration reduction in force plan they fear could gut their ranks a National Park Service employee in a Western state told CNN. “If they greenlight the RIF plan then it’s going to be a bloodbath” the employee said. In addition to probationary workers that were fired in February early retirements are also culling the agency’s ranks and the continued 1 spending limit on federal workers’ credit cards is making it extremely difficult to do field work in the parks with a simple overnight trip needing to be requested 10 days in advance the employee added. The lack of superintendents and NPS supervisors creates more of a headache they added. “These times when it’s all about fighting for scarce resources you really need those upper-level people with clout working the system” the employee said. Hall the retired NPS regional director said losing rangers maintenance professionals and park superintendents could profoundly alter American landmarks. “What you’ve lost with all this attrition – you’ve lost all this knowledge that’s going to take years to build back up” Hall said.
