Sex assault victim devastated by attacker's new charges
A woman who was sexually assaulted last year inside her Durham County home says she's heartbroken that she went along with a plea deal for her attacker, who is now accused of another assault.
Posted 10:15 p.m. Sep 17, 2010 — Updated 10:34 p.m. Sep 17, 2010
DURHAM, N.C. — A woman who was sexually assaulted last year inside her Durham County home says she's heartbroken that she went along with a plea deal for her attacker, who is now accused of another assault.
Holly Smith was a successful teacher at Rogers-Herr Middle School and a mother of two living in her dream home when she was attacked in May 2009. Her husband was out of town with their daughter, and she was asleep in bed with their 2-year-old son when Alfred Douala Mangabell broke into the home.
"I just had a funny feeling. I woke up. He was sitting on my bed, staring at us," Smith said Thursday in an exclusive interview with WRAL News.
Mangabell was a family friend at the time, and Smith said she could tell that he had been drinking and asked him to leave.
"He pulled out a knife, held it to my chest, threatened to cut me," she said. "(He) threatened, if I didn't keep my son quiet, he would cut my son."
Smith says Mangabell then sexually assaulted her and took a picture.
"He was scrolling through some photos on his phone. I saw some very graphic pictures of other women as well," she said.
WRAL News usually doesn't identify sexual assault victims, but Smith said she wanted to tell her story with the hope that she could protect others.
"I'm not ashamed of what happened to me, and I'm not afraid," she said.
That wasn't true 16 months ago. After Mangabell left her house, Smith said, she didn't know what to do.
"You feel like your heart is going to come out of your ears, you are so scared," she said.
With the encouragement of her sister, she reported the incident to the Durham County Sheriff's Office. In February, she agreed with Durham County Assistant District Attorney Mitch Garrell's decision to offer Mangabell a plea deal in the case.
Mangabell, 29, of 1815 Vale St. in Durham, pleaded guilty to breaking and entering, false imprisonment, assault with a deadly weapon, sexual battery and attempting to secretly capture an image of another person. The deal required him to register as a sex offender but allowed him to go free – he spent nine months in jail awaiting trial – and serve 18 months on probation.
Garrell told Smith at the time that he worried that jurors wouldn't believe her story. He said recently that he thinks the plea deal was fair given the facts he would have been working with at trial, including Mangabell's lack of any criminal record at the time.
"I could not bear him just walking away," Smith said. "I knew, if I took a plea deal, I would be guaranteed something would happen."
Smith, her husband and their children then moved from North Carolina looking for some peace of mind. They have been unable to sell their former home, which is now in foreclosure.
"It would be a reminder every day of what happened to me if I had to stay in the house," she said.
Now, however, it is headlines that dredge up the unpleasant memories.
Mangabell, who also goes by the name Alfred Manga Bell, was charged last week in a Sept. 5 home invasion in Timberlake in which an intruder forced two women to perform sex acts on each other while he photographed them. Investigators with the Person County Sheriff's Office said the intruder threatened to post the pictures of the women online if they reported the incident to authorities.
Three days after his arrest, Mebane police charged Mangabell in a June residential burglary. Burlington police said they also are looking at his possible involvement in a case there.
"My heart dropped into my stomach. I felt sick," Smith said of her reaction to Mangabell's arrest.
Her husband said his emotions are as raw as when his wife was attacked.
"(I felt) rage, devastation. I was beside myself," Rob Smith said. "Get him out of our society. He's a monster."
Holly Smith said she feels guilty about not pushing to take her case to trial in hopes of a tougher sentence.
"I regret that now that other women have been hurt," she said, adding that she hopes sharing her story will send a message to the justice system.
"The next time, someone could be killed," she said.

Scientists astounded at discovery of massive coral reef in river Amazon
A coral reef system measuring a distance of 9,300 sq km, has been found beneath the muddy waters off the mouth of the river Amazon.
The existence of the reef, which ranges from about 30-120m deep, was not suspected because many of the world's great rivers produce major gaps in reef systems where no corals grow. The discovery has left scientists, Governments and oil companies astonished.
Equatorial waters near the mouth of the Amazon are some of the muddiest in the world, with vast quantities of sediment washed thousands of miles down the river and swept hundreds of miles out to sea. This indicates that there was previously little evidence of an active reef there, because corals mostly thrive in clear, sunlit, salt water.
This reef however, appears to be thriving below the freshwater 'plume,' or outflow, of the Amazon. Compared to many other reefs, the scientists say, it is is relatively "impoverished". Nevertheless, they found fish, spiny lobsters, stars and several other examples of reef life.
A professor of oceanography and climate change at the University of Georgia said:
"I was flabbergasted, as were the rest of the 30 oceanographers. Traditionally, our understanding of reefs has focused on tropical shallow coral reefs which harbour biodiversity that rivals tropical rainforests."
But the reef, is said to be in grave danger. According to sources, the Brazilian government has sold 80 blocks for oil exploration and drilling at the mouth of the Amazon and 20 of these are already producing oil – some, it is thought, right on top of the reef.

Milhone
Cappi
Priddy
"U" Is for Undertow
"V" Is for Vengeance (2011)
V" Is for Vengeance
For the fourth straight novel in the Kinsey Milhone series (dating back to "S" Is for Silence), the viewpoint alternates between Milhone and other characters, principally Nora Vogelsang and Lorenzo Dante. The opening chapter, however, is told from the perspective of a well-to-do young man, Peter Lanahan, who borrows money from Dante, misses the payback date, and then loses it playing poker in Vegas. Dante and his brother Cappi show up, and Dante agrees to take Peter's Porsche as satisfaction of the debt. However, after Dante sends Peter and Cappi up to look at the car, Cappi has thugs throw Peter off the top of the parking garage to his death.
In the main storyline, Milhone witnesses a woman shoplifting with a confederate inside Nordstrom's. She tells a nearby clerk, who alerts store security, and they capture and arrest the woman, named Audrey, before she can escape. While this is going on, Milhone follows her confederate and is almost run over by her in the parking garage. Right after her release from jail, Audrey apparently commits suicide. Shortly thereafter, Milhone runs into a former boyfriend in the police department, Cheney Phillips, who is out for the evening with a vice officer, Len Priddy (a friend of Milhone's first husband and a longtime enemy of hers), and his much-younger girlfriend, Abbey. Priddy mocks the theory that Audrey was part of a shoplifting ring, but Audrey's boyfriend hires Milhone to investigate that theory.
Meanwhile, Dante realizes that the police are closing in on his operation. Audrey was head of his shoplifting operation, but Cappi murdered her upon her release from jail because he believed she was about to turn them in. Dante believes that Cappi has been giving information to Priddy to set up his brother, so that he can take over. Nora, who has been drifting apart from her husband for the last three years , learns that her lawyer husband is having an affair with his secretary. She decides to sell her possessions so that she can have money to flee, but in trying to see an expensive ring, she is referred to Dante, who is smitten with her and offers her more than fair value for the ring.

Hike the Zhuilu Old Trail, Taiwan
Zuilu Old Trail - Search Nearby - Added by Joshua and Macayla Fryc
Trek over suspension bridges, through the jungle, and across 500 meters of a narrow, jaw-dropping trail, the cliff edge on one side, the marble mountain face on the other.
You'll start off crossing the stunning marble gorge on a suspension bridge. An epic way to start any excursion. Several kilometers in, and perhaps a couple monkey spottings later, you'll feel on the top of the world, 90 centimeters between you and open air, looking down to the Liwu river hundreds of meters below, the force that carved the centuries-old marble gorge.
The start of this hike is easily accessible by the hop-on hop-off bus that runs through Taroko National Park. If you plan to visit the park, stay in the nearby city of Hualien, on the East Coast of Taiwan. From the main bus station in Hualien (next to the train station), take one of the ever-plenty buses headed toward Taroko National Park. Once in the park, exit the bus at the Yan Zi Kou bus stop (by the massive suspension bridge) and make your way to the tent across the street. There you will check in with your hiking permits and passports.
(Please note permits are mandatory and it can be highly difficult find any accurate information on how exactly to apply. We know, we tried. They are also free and definitely do not require paying a travel agency to acquire. For DIY step-by-step instructions, see our guide here.)
The trail was orignally built as an old Japanese road created to aid their efforts in controlling the indigenous population during the Japanese occupation in the late 1800s. As a result, the climb is a series of steep rocks and bridges that take you high into the mountains. It is not overly strenuous, but climbers should be in good physical condition, and well prepared for heat and humidity. If you have a severe fear of heights, think twice about going.
Due to the recent typhoon, the Zhuilu Old Trail is partially closed after 3.1 kilometers, but don't worry, the epic cliff's-edge portion of the trail is still accessible.
Gear up, and bon voyage!

Aka "Vertigo trail"
Finally got the chance to do this hike, and it lived up to expectations! After climbing up through the forest, the trail eventually hugs the wall of the gorge and leaves you quite exposed with a 2000 ft drop to one side (this is where it gets the nickname "Vertigo trail"). In the very narrow and exposed sections, there is a cable to hold onto in most places, and the trail widens at a few turns which gives enough space for passing hikers. This trail used to be possible as a through hike, but damage from a landslide a few years back has kept part of the trail closed past the Zhuilu outpost (3.1k). If you're planning to go to Taroko, this is definitely a hike worth checking out!

New Harry Potter game, launching today, lets players enroll in Hogwarts
Jonathan Shieber @jshieber / 5 years
In the first step of what could be an endless exploration of the wizarding world of Harry Potter, the Los Angeles mobile games studio Jam City is releasing its Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery game on the App Store and Google Play.
Developed in partnership with Warner Bros., the game will launch under Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment's Portkey Games — a label dedicated to creating first-person gaming experiences for mobile devices and consoles based on J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series.
No one could accuse me of being a gamer, but as a fan of both the books and the movies, I was intrigued by the prospect that the Hogwarts Mystery game presents. The animation (from the demo I'd seen) is well done and the plot was compelling.
Set in the 1980s, the game follows the player as they develop a character, enroll in Hogwarts, select one of the school's four houses and begin to navigate the world of Hogwarts. Players can create personalized characters and customize their avatars by learning magical skills and developing relationships with other students.
Certain choices in the game will change the trajectory of the story, and, over time, the game developers envision expanding the world well-beyond Hogwarts to track characters as they navigate life in the Harry Potter universe.
But it all starts with Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the mystery at the heart of game's plot. The player's avatar had an older sibling who attended Hogwarts but vanished mysteriously. Part of the narrative that propels the game will be investigating what happened, and why.
Within the game, players can expect to see some familiar faces (and hear some familiar voices). Dame Maggie Smith is reprising her role as Professor McGonagall and Michael Gambon is back voicing Professor Dumbledore. Other actors from the movies include Warwick Davis as Professor Flitwick, Gemma Jones as Madam Pomrey and Zoe Wanamaker as Madam Hooch.
"Our goal with Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery is to make players really feel for the first time like they're attending Hogwarts," said Chris DeWolfe, co-founder and CEO of Jam City, in a statement. "By including these iconic and incredibly talented actors in the game, we come one step closer to truly giving fans their own Hogwarts experience."
Players will also meet original game characters like Penny, a popular Hufflepuff potions expert; Tulip, a rebellious Ravenclaw prankster; and Merula, a Slytherin with a dark past.
As for the gameplay itself, users can duel with characters, learn spells and interact with students to gain different points that correspond to certain skills and attributes.
Mechanisms for interaction are similar to those developers have been using since Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, and some reviewers have wondered (rightly) whether the dream of a wizarding world that's mostly open for exploration will be perverted by a cash grab.
The developers of the game seem to be just as excited as the players they want to attract, and will ideally acknowledge the not-so-fine line between commercial viability and opportunistically extortionate in-game economics.

The 2020 Booker Prize Shortlist
Announced 15 September 2020
Diane Cook, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Avni Doshi, Maaza Mengiste, Douglas Stuart and Brandon Taylor are today, announced as the six authors shortlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize for Fiction.
The shortlist was revealed at lunchtime by the 2020 Chair of Judges Margaret Busby during a virtual press conference. It will be celebrated this evening in a Shortlist Watch Party for readers around the world on The Booker Prize's Facebook and YouTube pages at 5pm BST.
The shortlist was selected from 162 submitted books. Readers of the six chosen books will explore the tender story of a mother's battle to save her daughter in a dystopian city made inhospitable by the climate crisis; witness a woman confronting the realities of life and morality in Zimbabwe as she descends into poverty; travel to India to unpick an unsettling mother-daughter relationship redefined by dementia; uncover the extraordinary tales of the African women who went to war during Italy's 1935 invasion of Ethiopia; find humanity and humour in the harsh realities experienced by a marginalised family in 1980s Glasgow; and question what 'real life' is in a fresh take on the campus novel, which offers a nuanced account of racism and homophobia.
The 2020 Booker Prize for Fiction is open to writers of any nationality, writing in English and published in the UK or Ireland between 1 October 2019 and 30 September 2020.
The 2020 shortlist is:
Author (country/territory) Title (imprint)
Diane Cook (USA), The New Wilderness (Oneworld Publications)
Tsitsi Dangarembga (Zimbabwe), This Mournable Body (Faber & Faber)
Avni Doshi (USA), Burnt Sugar (Hamish Hamilton, Penguin Random House)
Maaza Mengiste (Ethiopia/USA), The Shadow King (Canongate Books)
Douglas Stuart (Scotland/USA), Shuggie Bain (Picador, Pan Macmillan)
Brandon Taylor (USA), Real Life (Originals, Daunt Books Publishing)
The shortlist was selected by a panel of five judges: Margaret Busby (chair), editor, literary critic and former publisher; Lee Child, author; Sameer Rahim, author and critic; Lemn Sissay, writer and broadcaster; and Emily Wilson, classicist and translator.
Margaret Busby, Chair of the 2020 judges, says:
'As judges we read 162 books, many of them conveying important, sometimes uncannily similar and prescient messages. The best novels often prepare our societies for valuable conversations, and not just about the inequities and dilemmas of the world − whether in connection with climate change, forgotten communities, old age, racism, or revolution when necessary − but also about how magnificent the interior life of the mind, imagination and spirit is, in spite of circumstance. The shortlist of six came together unexpectedly, voices and characters resonating with us all even when very different. We are delighted to help disseminate these chronicles of creative humanity to a global audience.
'The novels on this year's shortlist range in setting from an unusual child growing up in working-class Glasgow in the 1980s, to a woman coping with a post-colonial nightmare in Zimbabwe. Along the way we meet a man struggling with racism on a university campus, join a trek in the wilderness after an environmental disaster, eavesdrop on a woman coping with her ageing mother as they travel across India and in an exploration of female power discover how ordinary people rose up in 1930s Ethiopia to defend their country against invading Italians. It's a wondrous and enriching variety of stories, and hugely exciting as well.'
Gaby Wood, Literary Director of the Booker Prize Foundation, adds:
'Every year, judging the Booker Prize is an act of discovery. What's out there, how can we widen the net, how do these books seem when compared to one another, how do they fare when re-read? These are questions judges always ask themselves, and each other.
'This year there has perhaps been more discovery than usual, both in the sense that debut novels are in the majority, and due to the fact that the judges themselves were surprised to find that was the case. Why were they surprised? They were focussing on the books. No one wins the Booker Prize because of who they are. A book wins because of what it does. What has transpired is a testament to the judges' faith in – among other things – first fictions: they have found these writers to have much to say, and found them to have said it in a way that became even richer on a second reading.'
The four female authors on the shortlist are Diane Cook, Tsitsi Dangarembga, Avni Doshi and Maaza Mengiste. The two male authors are Douglas Stuart and Brandon Taylor.
Four of the shortlisted books come from independent publishers represented by the Independent Alliance: Canongate Books, Daunt Books Publishing, Faber & Faber and Oneworld Publications.
Facts about the 2020 shortlisted authors:
Diane Cook, a critically acclaimed short-story writer and former producer for the radio show 'This American Life', is shortlisted for her debut novel, The New Wilderness. She is currently writing a screenplay based on the novel and Warner Bros. Television has acquired the rights to develop it as a television series. Her first short story collection Man V Nature won the Guardian First Book Award.
Tsitsi Dangarembga's This Mournable Body is the third book in a trilogy following Nervous Conditions (1988) ― winner of the Commonwealth Writers' Prize ― and The Book of Not (2006). Dangarembga is a filmmaker and playwright. She was recently arrested in Zimbabwe's capital, Harare, during a peaceful protest against government corruption. She is due to be in court on 18 September. English PEN and PEN International are calling for the immediate dropping of all charges.
Avni Doshi, who is based in Dubai, wrote eight drafts of her debut novel, Burnt Sugar, before it was first published in India under the title Girl in White Cotton. It won the 2013 Tibor Jones South Asia Prize. There are a number of parallels between her life and the book: it's set in Pune, where her family is from; both she and her character experienced postpartum depression, although she gave birth after submitting the novel; and she wrote about Alzheimer's disease after her grandmother was diagnosed with the illness, explaining that she made sense of it through writing the novel.
Maaza Mengiste was born in Ethiopia and is a professor in the MFA in Creative Writing & Literary Translation programme at Queens College, City University of New York. She is the first writer from Ethiopia to make the shortlist. (Under the original Booker Prize rules, Ethiopian writers would not have been eligible.) She drew on her family history to write The Shadow King: she knew her grandfather had fought against the Italians during the invasion of Ethiopia and she later discovered that her great-grandmother had gone to war too.
Douglas Stuart, who grew up in Glasgow, moved to New York to start his career in fashion design. His writing has appeared in LitHub and The New Yorker, including a recently published short story 'The Englishman'. He has made the shortlist with his debut novel Shuggie Bain. He says the 1994 Booker winner How Late It Was, How Late by James Kelman changed his life as it was one of the first times he saw his people and dialect on the page. He is currently finishing his second novel, Loch Awe.
Brandon Taylor, who attended the prestigious Iowa Writers' Workshop and is a staff writer at Literary Hub, is shortlisted for his debut novel Real Life. He describes academia — the setting for his book and somewhere he's spent a lot of time ― as full of human drama and intrigue, but quite hostile at times with 'people who had a problem with my blackness or queerness'. He has a short story collection called Filthy Animals due out in the USA next year.
The 2020 winner announcement and shortlist events
The 2020 winner will be announced on Tuesday 17 November in an event broadcast from London's Roundhouse in collaboration with BBC Arts. The ceremony has been re-imagined, transposing the traditional dinner at the Guildhall to a globally accessible ceremony without walls. In light of the pandemic, the newly formatted event aims to creatively engage readers across the world with the shortlisted books, authors and the overall winner. It will be a multi-platform offering, including a one-off BBC Two programme in the run-up, a Live Page on BBC Arts, coverage on BBC News in the UK and BBC World News and the live announcement of the winner on BBC Radio 4's Front Row.
In the meantime, BBC Radio 4's Front Row is running its successful Booker Prize Book Group for a second year with each of the six shortlisted books and authors. There will also be a series of digital public events featuring the authors, including a Guardian Live event on Wednesday 11 November and a regional event on Friday 13 November held in partnership with Doncaster Creates.
The winner will take part in their first digital event in partnership with Southbank Centre on Saturday 21 November as part of its 'Inside Out' series. More information about the events programme will be announced soon.
The shortlisted authors each receive £2,500 and a specially bound edition of their book. The winner will receive a further £50,000 and can expect instant international recognition.
The 2019 Booker Prize for Fiction was won jointly by The Testaments by Margaret Atwood and Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo. In the week following the announcement, sales of The Testaments rose from 11,955 to 13,400 copies while Girl, Woman, Other sold 5,980 copies, more than double its lifetime sales up to that point and a 1,340% increase week on week. The UK edition alone of The Testaments has now sold more than 850,000 copies. Girl, Woman, Other has now spent 25 weeks in The Sunday Times Top Ten in hardback and paperback, several at number one and its combined sales in all editions and formats are heading towards half a million. It will be published in 32 territories internationally and TV rights have been optioned by Potboiler. After its Booker Prize win it was shortlisted for the 2020 Women's Prize for Fiction and won the best fiction book at the 2020 British Book Awards, while Evaristo was named Author of the Year.
The leading prize for quality fiction in English
First awarded in 1969, The Booker Prize is recognised as the leading prize for literary fiction written in English. The list of former winners features many of the literary giants of the last five decades: from Iris Murdoch to Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan to Hilary Mantel.
The Booker Prize is supported by Crankstart, a charitable foundation.
The Booker Prizes podcast series will be releasing a shortlist podcast, featuring judges Lee Child and Emily Wilson, available from Friday 18 September.
By the time of the winner announcement all shortlisted titles will be available in braille, giant print and audio editions, produced by RNIB and funded by the Booker Prize Foundation.

The Boeing Company (BA), Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (AAWW), Air Transport Services Group Inc. (ATSG): Could These Air Cargo Companies Soar?
Published on May 21, 2013 at 11:20 am by The Motley Fool in News
With the air freighters added to its DHL customer, Air Transport Services Group Inc. (NASDAQ:ATSG) stands to improve its revenues, which slipped in the 2013 first quarter by 1.5% to $143.3 million year over year. Net earnings for the quarter came in at $8.5 million, or $0.13 a share fully diluted, up 27.6% from a year earlier. Due to its robust fundamentals, the company's shares rate either a buy or strong buy among Wall Street analysts polled by Zacks. With a 9.21 price-to-earnings ratio and a 14.82% return on equity, Air Transport Services Group Inc. (NASDAQ:ATSG) indeed looks inviting.
Guidance up for Atlas Air
Riding on the wings of Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAWW) can likewise be attractive as the company reported a net income of $5.9 million or $0.22 earnings per share for the first quarter of 2013. Revenue rose 5% to $377.3 million and operating income rose 10% to $22.6 million for the period. The company has also raised its expected adjusted 2013 earnings to $4.80 per share from $4.65, following the implementation of its $36.5 million share repurchase program this April. Its price-to-earnings ratio of 8.87 and 11.51% return on equity should also look lustrous, particularly to value investors.
Strong industry fundamentals
Summing it up, taking up positions on Air Transport Services Group Inc. (NASDAQ:ATSG) and Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAWW) is warranted not only by their sound metrics but also by the air freight industry's strong fundamentals. Air cargo will remain as indispensable as surface transport with the many industries requiring efficient delivery of perishable goods and time-critical items. Industry growth drivers can likewise be expected from projections of stable oil and jet-fuel prices and an average 3.2% growth in the world economy in the next 20 years.

Remembering Boethius: Writing Aristocratic Identity in Late Medieval French and English Literatures
Elizabeth Inge Elliott
Remembering Boethius explores the rich intersection between the reception of Boethius and the literary construction of aristocratic identity, focusing on a body of late-medieval vernacular literature that draws on the Consolation of Philosophy to represent and reimagine contemporary experiences of exile and imprisonment. Elizabeth Elliott presents new interpretations of English, French, and Scottish texts, including Machaut's Confort d'ami, Remede de Fortune, and Fonteinne amoureuse, Jean Froissart's Prison amoureuse, Thomas Usk's Testament of Love, and The Kingis Quair, reading these texts as sources contributing to the development of the reader's moral character. These writers evoke Boethius in order to articulate and shape personal identities for public consumption, and Elliott's careful examination demonstrates that these texts often write not one life, but two, depicting the relationship between poet and aristocratic patron. These works associate the reception of wisdom with the cultivation of memory, and in turn, illuminate the contemporary reception of the Consolation as a text that itself focuses on memory and describes a visionary process of education that takes place within Boethius's own mind. In asking how and why writers remember Boethius in the Middle Ages, this book sheds new light on how medieval people imagined, and reimagined, themselves.

I feel privileged that I can walk out my front door, get in my car and drive 10 miles outside of the city to see this. I got super lucky. The moon was low, the city was behind me and the center of the Milky Way Galaxy rested just above a desolate dirt road. We sat here for an hour taking pictures and not 1 car drove by. I love South dakota.

Kynan Chenai
Kynan Chenai needs to work harder as he gears up for Rio Olympics. The shooter from Hyderabad finished 31st in Men's Trap on the last day of the ISSF World Cup in Nicosia, Cyprus.
The 25-year-old who has made the cut for Rio Olympics shot a score of 116 (24,22,24,23,23) which was four hits lesser than what he had shot at the Asian Olympic Qualifiers in New Delhi.
Chenai's highest score in an ISSF recognized competition is 123/125 which he had shot at the ISSF World cup in Gabala last year.
Today's best performance among the Indians came from Prithviraj Tondaiman who missed the finals by one hit after shooting a score of 119 (24,23,24,24,24) to finish 9th.
The third Indian in the event Zoravar Singh Sandhu shot 118 (25,24,21,24,24) to finish 15th.
The 2010 World Champion Alberto Fernandez of Spain won the gold. The 32-year-old beat his teammate Antonio Bailon in an all-Spanish gold medal match. The duel was breathtaking: 15 targets where indeed not enough to separate them, as they both scored 11 hits, and they had to continue shooting for the brightest medal in a tie-breaker.
After they both hit the first shoot-off clay, Bailon missed his second target, letting Fernandez to climb atop of the podium.
The current Olympic Champion Giovanni Cernogoraz of Croatia won the Bronze.

Q: Error on textbox text change event VBA form I have a textbox named "txtEndBalance" in a form I want only numbers to be inserted as a part of data validation. Therefore I have On Error event.
Now when I fire up the form via a button. It directly goes to the error and I have a message box pop up "Invalid currency amount". This wasn't supposed to be like this.
And then when I get rid of the pop up trying to enter a number. And right when I enter a single digit number it throws that error again.
I have no idea where I am wrong in the code below because I think I did everything right.
Have look at the file here if you need.
Private Sub txtEndBalance_Change()

    On Error GoTo Error:

    Dim amt As Currency
    amt = txtEndBalance
    txtEndBalance = Format(amt, "$##,###,##0")
    Exit Sub

Error:
        If txtEndBalance <> "$" And txtEndBalance <> "" Then
        MsgBox "Invalid currency amount", , "Error"
        txtEndBalance = Format(0, "$##,###,##0")
        End If

End Sub

A: This will make it so only numbers can be entered.  Put in this KeyPress event.
Private Sub txtEndBalance_KeyPress(KeyAscii As Integer)

    'This is a check for backspace keypress.
    If KeyAscii = 8 Then Exit Sub

    'This will allow only numeric values in the text box.
    If Chr(KeyAscii) < "0" Or Chr(KeyAscii) > "9" Then
        KeyAscii = 0
    End If
End Sub

Then you can do your formatting in the change event.

A: Your basic issue is that amt is declared as a Currency variable and the value you're trying to assign to it from the textEndBalance box isn't a Currency object, so your sub is throwing a type mismatch error and dropping you into your error handler.
The reason this is happening on each load of the form is that you're setting the value of the field txtEndBalance on load to a formatted version of a named range. This triggers the txtEndBalance_Change and you get a type mismatch error when trying to assign the value of that text box to the currency variable amt.
A simple fix would be to change how you declare the amt variable to something that matches - Dim amt As Variant works, or maybe even do away with the amt variable and use something like txtEndBalance = Format(txtEndBalance.Value, "$##,###,##0")
Also, as mentioned in another answer, you shouldn't use the Error keyword as a label for your Error Handlers.

"After Reading It, I Booked My Trip": Readers Are Sharing The One Book That Made Them Want To Instantly Transport To Its Setting
"The setting itself is a character. By the last page, I was planning my trip there."
by Hannah Loewentheil
A book can be so powerful that it might begin to transport you to another place and time...at least temporarily. And sometimes, a book can give you major wanderlust. So redditor u/trekbette asked, "If you could pick a book set in a real place and vacation in that place to read it, what would you read and where would you go?" Here's how people responded.
1. "Under the Tuscan Sun by Frances Mayes made me seriously yearn to travel to Italy to see it all for myself. The novel makes everything seem so magical: the people, the culture, and the food, which for me is the most important part of traveling."
—maariamoorales
Get it from Bookshop for $15.64 or Amazon for $14.99.
2. "I'd read my Robert Burns poetry book on the isle of Islay in Scotland, atop a cliff overlooking the sea."
—u/striker7
Get it from Bookshop for $6.99 or Amazon for $6.99.
3. "My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell. In fact, my parents met on the Greek Island of Corfu where they both independently traveled because they were inspired by this book."
—u/Emmydyre
Get it from Bookshop for $12.88 or Amazon for $9.99.
4. "I read All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr while traveling in St. Malo, France, the walled city where the story takes place. It made both the book and the visit so much more interesting."
—u/plunko
5. "I actually camped in Estes Park, Colorado, last year and read The Shining by Stephen King while on that very trip. It was awesome to tour the hotel and then read about it later in this horror novel."
—u/Lauraly623
6. "I'd read Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery, on Prince Edward Island. I have wanted to go to PEI forever."
—u/winenerd
7. "After I finished Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey, I felt this huge desire to travel to the coastal mountains of Oregon. Kesey evokes the raw and even visceral nature of the area in this honest and compelling novel about family and relationships. His writing makes you want to see the setting for yourself."
—drews417c79b63
Get it from Bookshop for $18.40 or Amazon from $17.99.
8. "I had plans to visit Barcelona, so I started reading The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafón. Once I got to the city, I walked by the house where the story is set. It was very cool and made the book even more meaningful to me."
—u/marialala1974
9. "India was never really on my bucket list until I read Shantaram, a novel by Gregory David Roberts, which is set in Mumbai. It was such a great read with such vivid imagery — I am now dying to travel there."
—u/S2Pac
10. "I completely fell in love with the idea of Venice, Italy, as a child while reading The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke. When I finally got to travel there, it felt completely surreal to be in the place that I had imagined for so long."
—u/_violet_femme
11. "Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner made me want to visit South Korea immediately. This book is full of emotion, but the imagery and descriptions of Korean food are at the heart of the memoir. Zauner described both Korean cuisine and her mother's recipes in such detail [that] you could almost taste them. It made me want to book a plane ticket and eat my way through Seoul just to experience all the textures and flavors I was reading about."
—Hannah Loewentheil
12. "The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah is set in rural Alaska in the 1970s, and it seems absolutely beautiful. The author's writing basically turns Alaska itself into a character. I almost wanted to uproot my life and move there by the end of the book. Not to mention the whole novel is amazing."
—u/ironicallybreathing
13. "For me it's Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. I've always wanted to go to Scotland, but it was always just one of those hazy travel dreams. Then I read Outlander, which made me start devouring info about the Highlands. I couldn't not see it for myself, so I finally went ahead and booked my trip."
—kathybankes
Get it from Bookshop for $9.19 or Amazon for $13.76.
14. "I read Midnight in the Garden of Evil while sitting in a leafy park square in Savannah, Georgia. It made the words on the pages come to life and was magical."
—u/wineandcheeseme
15. "I read Silence by Shūsaku Endō while on deployment. My ship happened to be heading to Japan. It's a short novel so I was able to finish by the time we reached Sasebo. While there, I got to experience the places that are described in the book, like the 26 Martyrs of Japan Museum and the monument in Nagasaki."
—u/ButDidYouCry
16. "I'd love to read The Old Man and the Sea in Havana, Cuba. In fact, one of my lifetime goals is to read Hemingway's books in the locations where his stories are set."
—u/MostPopularLouise
17. "I read Ulysses by James Joyce while studying abroad in Dublin. It was an absolutely amazing experience. It was so special to have a sense of place that grounded me in the novel. In fact, I don't think I would have enjoyed the book much (or even at all) if I had read it elsewhere."
—u/W1CKeD_SK1LLz
Get it from Bookshop for $16.56 or Amazon for $10.99
18. "I read For Whom the Bell Tolls while in the Spanish Pyrenees. I'd give both the book and the setting a 10/10, each made even more enjoyable because of one another."
—u/Semanticss
Get if from Bookshop for $17.47 or Amazon for $9.94.
19. "A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson. This book made me want to hike the Pacific Northwest Trail and to experience more nature. In fact, it really inspired me. I'm now planning a hiking trip from Glacier, Montana, to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington."
—u/neural_node
20. "A Year in Provence by Peter Mayle. This book inspired me to drive my campervan to Provence in the South of France and spend two weeks in bliss that I will never forget."
—u/Wittgenstienwasright
21. "I was reading Angels and Demons by Dan Brown while on a vacation in Europe. I ended up finishing the book while I was in Rome. It was incredible reading about specific Roman fountains, statues, and churches, and then being able to see them with my very own eyes that same day."
—u/Maximus361
Get it from Bookshop for $17.47 or Amazon from $13.
22. "Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson is a story that takes place in multiple settings, but the one that really stands out is an unnamed Caribbean island. The island itself — the secret coves, lush landscape, and temperamental sea — almost takes on its very own character. It might have to do with the fact that I read this book during the freezing-cold month of January, but I found myself seriously yearning to be transported to Jamaica, Barbados, or the like, where I could feel the calm breeze of palm trees and hear the sounds of lapping waves hitting the shore."
23. "When I was in Colombia, I chose to read Gabriel García Márquez's One Hundred Years of Solitude. It was an amazing read, and the location made it even better. I could feel everything about the story coming to life."
—u/Akenium
24. "I read The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy while I was on holiday in Kerala, India. It's an amazing book about love and loss set in Varkala, Southern India. It's beautifully written and a certain tear-jerker, but it was made even more special by the fact that I could really picture the scenery."
—kathrynels
25. "When I discovered I would be moving to France for two years, the first thing I did was start to read The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. I took a weekend trip to Marseilles to visit the prison at Chateau d'If. I brought along my book and read my favorite passages while sitting on the island. Sitting there in the sun with my book and a cool sea breeze is one of my most cherished travel memories."
—u/kwertyup
26. "Wild by Cheryl Strayed. Strayed writes about her adventure hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, but this memoir inspired me to just to go out into the world and walk. Since finishing it, I was inspired to walk the Camino de Santiago in Spain."
—u/Auntie_B
27. "Exit West by Mohsin Hamid. This is not your typical travel book. In fact, it explores serious issues like the refuge experience, but reading it made me want to see more of the world. I think often of the mysterious doors that can take us anywhere — from an African desert to the beach in Greece. Traveling is not always pretty, and not all places are full of beauty, but Exit West captures the true essence of wandering, which is to actually see the differences and similarities of places all over the world."

U matematici i računarstvu, Zenonovi strojevi (skraćeno kao ZS, također zvan i ubrzani Turingov stroj) su računski modeli povezani s Turingovim strojevima koji dozvoljavaju obavljanje prebrojivo beskonačno mnogo algoritamskih koraka u konačnom vremenu. Ovi strojevi su također isključeni u istom računskom modelu. (pogledati Nemogućnost ostvarenja Zenonovih strojeva dolje.)

Formalnije, Zenonov stroj je Turingov stroj koji zahtijeva 2-n vremenskih jedinica za obavljanje n-tog koraka. Stoga prvi korak zahtijeva 0.5 jedinica vremena, drugi korak 0.25 jedinica, treći korak 0.125 i tako dalje, iz čega slijedi da će nakon jedne vremenske jedinice trebati biti obavljeno beskonačno mnogo koraka.

Nemogućnost ostvarenja Zenonovih strojeva
Zenonove strojeve isključuje zakon diskretnosti u aktorskom modelu računanja.

Porijeklo Zenonovih strojeva
O ideji Zenonovih strojeva je prvi raspravljao Hermann Weyl 1927. Imenovani su po starogrčkom filozofu Zenonu.

Zenonovi strojevi i izračunljivost

Zenonovi strojevi dozvoljavaju izračun nekih funkcija koje nisu Turing-izračunljive. Na primjer, problem zaustavljanja za Turingove strojeve Zenonov stroj može lako riješiti, što je prikazano sljedećim pseudokodom:

 započni program
   zapiši 0 na prvu poziciju izlazne trake;
   postavi i = 1;
   započni petlju
     simuliraj prvih i koraka danog Turingovog stroja za dani ulaz;
     ako se Turingov stroj zaustavio, tada zapiši 1 na prvu poziciju izlazne trake;
     i = i + 1;
   završi petlju
 završi program

(Međutim, problem zaustavljanja za Zenonove strojeve se ne može riješiti Zenonovim strojem).

Nažalost, naivan pristup Zenonovim strojevima u beskonačnim izračunavanjima vodi ka problemima. Na primjer, za razliku od Turingovog stroja, izlaz Zenonovog stroja nakon njegova završavanja računanja (tj. nakon jedne vremenske jedinice) ne mora biti u drugačijem stanju. Ovo se na primjer može dogoditi ako stroj nastavi alternirajuće zapisivati različite izlaze. Neke od ostalih komplikacija uključuju nedefinirana unutarnja stanja stroja, glave za pisanje koje "otpišu u beskonačnost" i sl.

Sljedeći algoritam predstavljen u pseudokodu, koji pokušava algoritamski odlučiti istinitost konjekture o prostim brojevima blizancima, zorno to predočava:

 započni program
   postavi i = 3;
   započni petlju
     zapiši 0 na prvu poziciju izlazne trake;
     ako su i i i + 2 prosti brojevi, tada zapiši 1 na prvu poziciju izlazne trake;
     i = i + 2
   završi petlju
 završi program

Ako konjektura o prostim brojevima blizancima nije istinita, izlaz će ovog Zenonovog stroja biti 0. Inače, stroj će nastaviti alternirajuće zapisivati jedinice i nule, ad infinitum, uzrokujući nedefinirano završno stanje po isteku jedne jedinice vremena izvršavanja.

Možda se na prvi pogled čini primamljiva ideja o uvođenju mehanizma koji otklanja ove abnormalnosti (smrzavanjem izlaza stroja, pomicanjem glave za pisanje do konačne pozicije i postavljanjem unutarnje zastavice) - međutim, to će u biti samo uvesti proroka za problem koji želimo riješiti.

Forceful impacts, repetitive motions and overuse often lead to injuries at any age. (Think: tackling in football, crouching as a catcher in baseball or softball, repeated movements as a gymnast.) Avoiding the injuries is optimal—and if you have experienced an injury, healing as rapidly as possible is critical to overall well-being and your ability to continue to enjoy the sport you love.

The primary purpose of kitchen cabinets is simple – they hide your clutter. Today's kitchens are stuffed with…well, stuff. Gone are the days of a few cupboards holding our dishes and glasses. We now must find storage for blenders and mixers, platters and food processors, crock pots and steamers!
If you're in the midst of installing RTA cabinets already, this step just got easier! Once your cabinets are empty, it's easy to see just what those doors have been hiding! Starting from scratch allows you to plan your organization strategy. While it can be difficult to get rid of things we think we may use one day, it's imperative that you don't hold on to unneeded items. Start by throwing out anything that no longer works. Next, look for anything you haven't used in the past six months. This is your opportunity to donate or sell items to someone who will get use out of it.
Take a step back. Look carefully at the layout of your kitchen. Note the position of countertop appliances. For instance: Where is your coffee pot? It would seem reasonable that the mugs should be placed in the nearest cupboard. What items do you want to keep but seldom use? Place those on the higher shelves or toward the back of cabinets leaving room up front for things you use more often.
Other things to consider when you're planning: Do you have small children? If you have a lower space, making their own storage area helps keep their plastic bowls, sippy cups, and lunch containers within their reach. Do you have enough cabinet space near your stove for pots and pans? What dishes are most likely to be washed in the dishwasher? You may want to store those dishes in a nearby cabinet.
Once you have only the items you plan on keeping and have devised a plan that will create a high functioning kitchen, begin placing. During this step, many people discover the need for a different cabinet layout – or that they merely need a few more! At Cabinets Made EZ, we can solve this problem!
Our RTA cabinets put unlimited potential at your fingertips. In addition to cabinets in the traditional sense, Cabinets Made EZ carries wine racks, cook centers, microwave, and universal oven cabinets, Lazy Susan corners, file cabinet drawers and more.

Business 7 January 2014 14:46 (UTC+04:00)
Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 7
By Rahim Zamanov - Trend:
Iran and the Economic Cooperation Organization plan to boost mineral relations, the IRIB News Agency reported on Jan. 7.
The issue was discussed in a meeting between the officials of the Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation Organization and ambassadors and representatives of ECO member states in Tehran.
Iran's Mineral Processing Research Center is among the world's top four centers, according to IMIDRO officials
Iran is ranked among the 15 major mineral-rich countries of the world and exports its industrial and mineral products to 159 countries, including Iraq, China, the United Arab Emirates, India and Afghanistan.
The important mines of Iran include coal, metallic minerals, sand and gravel, chemical minerals and salt. Iran has the world's largest zinc and second largest copper deposits and ranks ninth for its iron reserves.
ECO is an intergovernmental regional organization established in 1985 by Iran, Pakistan and Turkey, which provides a platform to promote economic, technical and cultural cooperation among member states.
The organization was expanded in 1992 to include seven new members, including Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

Is there a way, that once the iFrame is loaded for the first time and I switch between tabs, the iframe does not get re-rendered again?

A: TypeScript solution:

*

*Wrap the tab display component in a memo() function call

*Wrap the display component with the control logic (
 {
      return
Whatever the tab displays

  })

  const getVisibilityStyle = (hiddenCondition: boolean): any => {
      if (hiddenCondition) {
          return {
              visibility: 'hidden',
              height: 0,
          };
      }
      return {
          visibility: 'visible',
          height: 'inherit',
      };
  };

      <SomeTabDisplayComponent />

This solution has many advantages over the prev. answer. It doesn't use another component; doesn't mis-use "Typography" (
 tag is not meant to include block content! Doing this is bad for SEO and accessibility etc.; violates web standards.); It doesn't depend on Typography's it's internal "hidden" implementation (if that one changes in the future, the upper solution will break) and it gives full control over when the re-render/DOM flush happens.

A: You check if the value of the current tab equals the index of the current tab, and only if they are equal you display the content.
Instead - just keep the content and have the Typography component control the visibility of it's content (which you already have, using the hidden inside the Typography component.
<Typography
  component="div"
  role="tabpanel"
  hidden={value !== index}
  id={`simple-tabpanel-${index}`}
  aria-labelledby={`simple-tab-${index}`}
  {...other}
>
  {<Box p={3}>{children}</Box>}
</Typography>

Note that the content will be rendered, so if you have a lot of content inside/requests to the backend/etc - all of those will be part of your DOM, even if you don't see them.

CTV NEWS EDITORIAL STANDARDS AND POLICIES
Ethics policy | Diversity statement | Corrections policy | Ownership structure | Masthead | Editorial ethics guidelines | Mission statement | Verification/fact-checking standards | Unnamed sources policy | Bylines and signatures | Trust and CTV News | Public engagement policy
This is a summary of CTV News policies and is not meant to be comprehensive. CTV News is committed to producing journalism that is accurate, fair and complete. Our journalists act with honesty, transparency, and independence, including from conflicts of interest.
As part of Bell Media, it is a core principle of CTV News to represent ethnocultural groups, Indigenous people and persons with disabilities in a balanced and accurate manner. Our policy is to seek out diverse voices, not only in the types of stories we cover but also in our sources, on-screen, on-the-air, behind the scenes and within our workforce. Understanding the composition of Bell Media's workforce is at the heart of its diversity and inclusion strategy. Bell Media employees are asked to complete a diversity questionnaire, from which data is analyzed on a monthly basis. Reports on this data along with their action plans are presented to Bell Media's Diversity Leadership Council, so it can monitor progress against benchmarks and established goals in its efforts to employ and build a diverse workforce.
Our commitment to diversity is also reflected in the types of stories we report on at CTV News, including the inquiry into the missing and murdered Indigenous women, athletes at the Invictus Games, and, for Canada's 150th birthday, a five-part series on new Canadians who came to Canada from all corners of the world. CTV News monitors the statistics of its full-time staff as it is committed to employment equity and diversity. To protect individual privacy, it does not publicly disclose these numbers.
The goal of CTV News is to be accurate and balanced. Our credibility on air and online depends upon such reporting. Accordingly, CTV News will endeavour to promptly correct significant errors of fact in its journalism, once we determine that an error has been made. The placement of a correction made will be dependent upon how critical the error is, when it is discovered and the repercussions of the error. If we are correcting a significant error in an online article, photo caption, video or other content, we should post a correction on the story page explaining the alteration in a timely fashion. Sometimes, our reporting may be accurate, but the wording used may not be as clear as it could be. In these situations, CTV News will consider rewriting the story and/or publishing a clarification.
An online article is not considered inaccurate, or does not contain an error, simply because there have been future developments in a story after publication. However, CTV will consider newly available information to determine whether an update is necessary. In the case of an update, a specific notification to our readers is not usually necessary as a time stamp will indicate that an update has occurred. Our archival material is very important, and in this digital age, reflects a permanent record of the information available at the time of original publication. In some exceptional cases, that material or parts of it may be substantially wrong. In these situations, we will review the material and determine whether the original story should be revised or rewritten, or whether an update, clarification or correction should be published. The content of a significant correction or clarification and its timing and placement will be the ultimate responsibility of senior news management.
Requests to remove online content: Our online journalism is part of the historical record and our archives represent our commitment to accuracy and fairness. Since our online material is available indefinitely and can be searched and retrieved online, we are regularly being asked to "unpublish" or remove online articles or video, often many years after the content was first published. We do not, except in very narrow circumstances, unpublish articles or video. Source remorse or embarrassment is not a reason to unpublish. If someone changes their mind about being quoted, that is not sufficient reason to remove content from our archives.
However, if there is a change in circumstances, for example, criminal charges were dropped after we had reported that a person was charged with an offence, CTV will review the new information and consider whether it is warranted to update our story to include the new facts. If we determine that an update is appropriate, the original story will not be removed, only updated. We will only consider removal requests in very exceptional circumstances. These may include legal considerations or where the named person is facing genuine threats of physical harm. In these rare circumstances, any decision to remove content must be weighed against the public's right to know and the historical record and only after consultation with senior news management, who will make the final decision, after considering all these issues including legal ramifications.
Founded in 1971, CTV News is from Bell Media, part of BCE, a publicly traded company. CTV News operations include specialty channels CTV NEWS CHANNEL, BNN Bloomberg, CP24, and information programming including CTV NATIONAL NEWS WITH LISA LAFLAMME, CTV NATIONAL NEWS WITH SANDIE RINALDO, W5, POWER PLAY, and QUESTION PERIOD. CTV News' digital operations include flagship news sites CTVNews.ca, as well as CP24.com and BNNBloomberg.ca, and are complemented by the CTV News, CP24, and BNN Bloomberg apps, and text-over-video product, ON THE GO, which provide a direct connection to Canada's most trusted news anytime and anywhere. Part of Bell Media's vast slate of podcast offerings, CTV News' podcasts include QUESTION PERIOD, POWER PLAY, POP LIFE, VIEWPOINTS WITH TODD VAN DER HEYDEN, and the brand new TREND LINE for the 2019 federal election. CTV News is committed to upholding principles of journalistic independence and is governed by a Journalistic Independence Policy ensuring independence and non-interference between BCE and CTV News while remaining in compliance with the Broadcast Act and relevant industry codes.
CTV News is funded through advertising revenue and does not receive government funding or subsidies.
Vice President, CTV News: Wendy Freeman
Executive Director and Managing Editor, CTV News: David Hughes
Executive Producer, CTV National News: Rosa Hwang
Senior Producer, CTVNews.ca: Mary Nersessian
Editorial Ethics Guidelines
CTV News' newsgathering is independent of commercial or political interests. We do not accept gifts, including paid travel, in order to avoid any conflict-of-interest or appearance thereof. When we rely on an organization for a product or access to an event, we are transparent about the relationship and note it within the relevant work. The newsroom is insulated from advertisers and underwriters by a firewall. All CTV News properties, news directors, producers, editors, and journalists follow our internal CTV News Policy Handbook which specifies strict adherence to the RTDNA Code of Journalistic Ethics and the Canadian Association of Broadcasters' (CAB) Code of Ethics, which mutually govern impartiality in the newsgathering process.
These codes also govern the dissemination of information and news to our readers and viewers. These guiding principles underscore our commitment to journalism that is accurate and reliable in the public interest.
CTV News' mandate is to uphold journalistic integrity and independence under all circumstances and at all times, without exception. As a reputable news organization in a democracy, it is the fundamental purpose of CTV News to enable Canadians to know what is happening and to clarify events so they may form their own conclusions. This is done through accurate, fair, and relevant stories told in a clear and compelling way.
With a perspective that is uniquely Canadian and via a network of national, international, and local news operations, our mission is to be Canada's most trusted news source, providing the most timely and relevant news and information on all platforms while adhering to the highest standards of journalism at all times. Our target audience is a broad cross-section of Canadians of all ages who are interested in the world around them.
Verification/fact-checking standards
This news organization commits to do its best to publish accurate information across all of its content. We take many steps to ensure accuracy: We investigate claims with skepticism; question assumptions; challenge conventional wisdom; confirm information with subject-matter experts; and seek to corroborate what sources tell us by talking with other informed people or consulting documents. We verify content, such as technical terms, stats, etc., against source documents or make clear who is providing the information. We may share relevant components of a story with a primary source or an outside expert to verify them.
We stand by the information as accurate, and if it's not, we will change it as quickly as possible and be transparent with our readers about the magnitude of the error.
We guide our journalists to ask the following questions when they double-check information in a quest for the truth.
How can you be sure?
Where is the evidence?
Who is the source, and how does the source know?
What is the supporting documentation?
We welcome feedback from our readers and sources regarding the information that we publish. Contact: ctvnews.caproducers@bellmedia.ca.
We provide a means for the public to report inaccurate or contested material.
We include the name and contact information for the reporter, as well as the editor's name, for each substantive news item that we publish.
Our objective is to get everything 'on the record.' Our viewers deserve to know where we get our information, who our sources are and why their comments merit their trust. We should strive to attribute all comments. We must guard against those who wish to use anonymity as a means to hide the truth, deride opponents or manipulate public opinion. But there are circumstances when permitting anonymity is necessary to obtain sensitive information vital to the public good or where the source might face harm, legal jeopardy or loss of livelihood for speaking with us.
Bylines and signatures
We are committed to using bylines except in circumstances as described below, when stories are the culmination of several journalists or when they are supplied by a news agency.
CTVNews.ca staff: If you see the CTVNews.ca staff byline rather than a byline for a specific reporter, writer or producer, it may be that the story was a piece of content based on the work of several people. It may be a collaboration based on the work of several journalists at CTV News, including and not limited to: writers, producers, reporters, trusted content from wire agencies (see information below). On some pages you will see bylines from news agencies rather than CTVNews.ca staff. We trust news agencies to help us cover the world as fully as possible and to adhere to the highest journalistic standards.
The Canadian Press: CP has been Canada's trusted national news agency for more than 100 years, a news source and leader in providing real-time, bilingual multimedia stories across print, broadcast and digital platforms.

Trust and CTV News
CTV News is a member of the Trust Project, a global network of news organizations.
Founded by award-winning journalist Sally Lehrman, the Trust Project aims to build standards that affirm and amplify journalism's commitment to transparency, accuracy, inclusion, and fairness.
Tools developed by the Trust Project, such as a system of trust indicators, are designed to inform the public so they can make informed news choices.
CTV News holds itself accountable to our commitment to journalistic standards. And in a time when readers are bombarded with information online, we want to make it easier for the public to understand how our journalism is produced.
For these reasons, CTV News has taken several measures to enhance trust and improve transparency:
Trust indicators include:
Publishing our editorial standards and policies
Bylines on published articles
Labels on written content that provide context, for example whether it is a news article, analysis, or opinion
Corrections, with a published link to our corrections policy
These indicators of credible journalism are also "machine-readable," signalling to search engines and social media platforms that they are reliable sources of information.
You can find more information on the Trust Project here.
Public engagement policy
We believe that public feedback is not a one-way street -- that is, simply publishing your comments or letters. Instead, we are committed to engaging with you and taking action based on your suggestions, complaints and other feedback. You may help us develop an individual story or line of coverage, answer questions that a story may raise, identify related or under-covered issues, and teach us about new and diverse sources, experts and perspectives. In line with this, we are committed to providing greater transparency about our journalism and offering regular points of contact and interaction. We believe that news organizations have a responsibility to engage with the public on the values, issues and ideas of the day, and that we have much to gain in return.
