'SEAL Team': Clay Spenser Survived. Now What? - Military.com

ragamnyakabar.blogspot.com

We're two episodes into season 6 of "SEAL Team," now streaming exclusively on Paramount+, and things are looking very dodgy for Bravo Team. Team leader Jason Hayes is a mess, and the Pentagon is looking to scale back special operations as it reassesses military priorities after the end of the Afghanistan War.

The good news is that Clay Spenser survived his injuries from the ambush in Mali that ended season 5 and dominated the first act of episode one of the current season. The bad news is that his right leg was amputated below the knee, and he's facing a long and difficult rehab as he tries to adjust to a new prosthetic limb.

The entire arc of episode one pointed to Clay's death as he struggled to overcome the infected wounds in his shredded leg. Since almost all viewers knew that actor Max Thieriot is playing the lead role in the new CBS series "Fire Country," this seemed like an appropriate moment for his character to die and exit the series. The final scene was a shock, as it showed Clay in recovery after the amputation.

Episode two picks up several months later as Clay is back home in Virginia and working hard at his rehabilitation. His fractured friendship with Sonny (AJ Buckley) is back on track and Clay's wife Stella (Alona Tal) seems prepared to support him as she raises their infant son Brian.

Anyone who's ever watched television knows that Clay's recovery will not continue to go smoothly over the course of the season. Clay will have setbacks, get frustrated and have communication issues with Stella. We'll all just have to watch to find out how things get resolved.

More troubling is the health of team leader Jason Hayes (series star and producer David Boreanaz). After he was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury in season five, he didn't tell his commanding officers about his condition and has been looking for treatments outside the Navy's medical support staff.

Jason claims that an experimental stem cell treatment is helping a lot, and he's paying $2,000 cash for each treatment so there's no record of what's going on. He's rekindled a romance with Mandy Ellis (Jessica Paré), so her character is back on the show, at least temporarily.

This TBI stem cell therapy is an actual thing in the real world, and while it's shown promising results for some people, it's a long way from being an accepted treatment. Jason's condition, combined with the fact that he's lying to the Navy, seems to be a bomb set to go off at some point this season.

On top of all this, Lisa Davis (Toni Trucks) is now serving on a committee that's analyzing current military readiness and making recommendations for the future. There's a strong sense in the room that the USA has been relying too much on tip-of-the-spear operations at the expense of general military readiness. Lisa has the sense that one or more SEAL teams will be spun down at the end of this process, and the aging Bravo Team seems like a prime candidate for a shutdown.

Is that enough drama for you? Will Clay get his head together and adapt to life with a prosthetic leg? Will Jason recover from his TBI or suffer the consequences of hiding his condition from the Navy? Will Bravo Team survive?

New episodes stream each Sunday on Paramount+, and we’ve got eight episodes left in this 10-episode season.

The answers depend on whether the "SEAL Team" crew is looking to wrap up the story this year or continue for several years to come. No one connected to the show is dropping any hints, so we'll stand by for news over the next couple of months as season six continues.

Cayce Seal Memorial Bass Tournament draws in over 60 contestants - WLOX

ragamnyakabar.blogspot.com

GULFPORT, Miss. (WLOX) - If Cayce Seal were here, he’d likely be fishing on a day like this.

“I couldn’t think of any other way to honor his memory and support his family than to do something like this that he loved to do, and that’s fishing,” said Jesse Williams.

So, Williams organized the Cayce Seal Memorial Bass Tournament to do just that.

About 60 people signed up for the second annual event at Captain Al’s Steak & Seafood in Gulfport.

“We don’t want this to be a money tournament,” Williams said. “We want this to be a ‘memory of Cayce’ tournament. We want Cayce’s children, who were very young when he passed, to see the impact that he had on the Coast community and the fishermen’s lives.”

Seal was an electric utility lineman who lost his life in June 2021.

Williams was a close friend.

“Cayce was a person, when you met him, you learned to love him,” he said. “I mean, if you didn’t like Cayce, you are the problem, is the way I look at it.”

And, that’s a life worth celebrating.

“Cayce always gave the community,” said Cayce’s father, Doug. “When somebody was in need, Cayce was always there to help organize, promote or work behind the scenes for any event that he could to help people. He was always more about giving that receiving.”

It’s been a tough journey for the family.

“I can’t tell you I don’t cry, a lot. Not a lot, but daily,” Doug Seal said. “But, just from missing him. Right? It’s God’s will. It’s God’s plan. Every day, it’s a process. But, we’re blessed. And, we believe in God and have faith. That’s what gets us through it every day.”

Seal said the money raised will help fund scholarships for lineman program at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College and Pearl River Community College.

Seal's debut album reissued – SuperDeluxeEdition - Super Deluxe Edition

ragamnyakabar.blogspot.com

4CD+2LP deluxe • No other physical formats • Trevor Horn’s Atmos Mix consigned to streaming

Seal’s self-titled debut album from 1991 will be reissued in November.

The Trevor Horn-produced long-player launched Seal to international success with songs like ‘Crazy’ (a transatlantic top 10 hit), ‘Future Love Paradise’ and his remake of ‘Killer’ (which he’d originally written and recorded with Adamski).

The album has been remastered for the reissue and Trevor Horn has created a Dolby Atmos Mix (his first, as far as I am aware). Sadly, Warner Music has chosen not to issue the Atmos Mix physically, which is rather frustrating. What they are offering is one big 4CD+2LP deluxe set; there is no other physical format.

The *Seal* 4CD+2LP deluxe edition (click image to enlarge)

The first CD in this large format set offers the remastered album, while the second and third discs deliver remixes and alternate versions from the various singles along with the so-called ‘Premix’ versions.

These versions are early mixes that were available briefly on early pressings before they were replaced by Horn’s final mixes. CD 4 features the only unreleased content, a previously unreleased 13-track concert performance from Dublin in December 1991. The 2LP vinyl is not available separately and is part of this deluxe. It repeats the remastered album and side 4 is blank, so they’ve put an ‘etching’ on it…

It’s worth remembering that the Seal album has never been reissued in the UK. A CD+DVD deluxe was released in 2005 which included a 5.1 surround sound mix, but that was a US-only release. That mix remains unique to that 17-year old release. The non-physical Atmos Mix, effectively supersedes something that was never available in Britain in the first place!

The Seal 4CD+2LP deluxe is released on 4 November 2022, via Warner Music. I’d encourage you to ‘rate’ this Seal offering by using the widget at the top of this page.

How Diversity, Oversight And Healthy Boundaries Can Stop White-Collar Crime - Forbes

ragamnyakabar.blogspot.com

To more aggressively fight white-collar crime, the Justice Department recently announced new enforcement measures and unveiled incentives for firms to disclose any malfeasance as soon as they become aware of it.

Encouraging firms to divulge known corporate crimes, and punishing them more harshly when they don’t, may be effective. Another approach – encouraging firms to place more women, outsiders, and financial experts on their boards – could cut down on white-collar crime to begin with.

Wrongdoings like accounting fraud, insider trading, and kickback conspiracies can happen when executives face unrelenting performance pressures (which are worsened by some incentive plans) or when executives feel they can rationalize their unethical action — they believe everyone else is doing it too.

Corporate crimes can also occur when boards don’t pay attention or have incomplete information, giving executives opportunities to cut corners or misrepresent their activities. Theranos, the health tech company whose CEO, Elizabeth Holmes, claimed to have developed innovative and accurate blood test devices, may well be the prime example a lax board oversight. At least one Theranos director testified that he relied entirely on Holmes’ verbal claims about the company’s technology. (In January, a jury found Holmes guilty of defrauding investors and lying about the devices.)

How to Ward Off White-Collar Crime

Some board configurations seem to limit opportunities for executives to commit corporate crimes. Here are a few board changes to consider, that may help avoid misconduct:

Add More Women to Corporate Boards. When firms stack their boards with men, misconduct tends to increase; when they add women to their boards, misconduct drops off, according to several recent studies, including one, by a team of European researchers that analyzed bank misconduct fines. One explanation for this may be executives’ overconfidence, a predictor of white-collar crime. Relative to women, men in powerful corporate jobs tend to be more overconfident, if one measures it by how much they overestimate their firms’ returns. That is exactly what a team of researchers from National University of Singapore and Boston College showed.

Executive roles are steppingstones for corporate board positions. When men serve as directors, they may bring their overconfidence to the boardroom. Firms with more men on their boards may not be as vigilant in identifying risks. They may anticipate a narrower range and lower probabilities of negative outcomes from questionable corporate strategies. They may also fail to appreciate all the ramifications from potential problems they spot. With more women directors, boards may develop more comprehensive perspectives.

Firms that include more women on their boards commit fewer white-collar crimes and less serious ones, statistically speaking, possibly because women help calibrate the board’s confidence and risk taking. These are the conclusions from a study by researchers from York University, Open University of Hong Kong, and China Europe International Business School. They agree with other published studies (including one of mine) that show how adding more women to boards can speed up product recalls and reduce corporate discrimination lawsuits.

Avoid Conflicts of Interests.

A board of directors is supposed to watch over and advise the CEO on behalf of the company’s owners or shareholders. But directors who have strong ties to the firm – like executive directors – may have self-interested reasons for not challenging the CEO. That’s why some regulators, including the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq, require large public companies to appoint a majority of independent directors who “have no material relationship” with the company.

These requirements don’t necessarily apply to private firms, where barely a third of directors are independent, according to a Crunchbase and HimforHer’s study. Nor do they apply in all countries.

Having an independent audit committee is better insurance against misconduct than independence on the board at-large. With colleagues from McMaster, Georgia State and Lehigh universities, we came to this determination after reviewing and analyzing the data from 135 different studies of various corporate misdeeds – including financial fraud, insider trading, tax evasion, insurance fraud and price discrimination.

Having an entirely independent audit committee is also more effective against fraud than having someone other than the CEO serve as board chair, a tactic that is growing in acceptance according to the Conference Board. For firms listed on exchanges like the NYSE and Nasdaq, the board’s audit committee must be entirely independent. Firms without such requirements would be well served to ensure that their audit committee is as independent as possible.

Ensure Directors Have the Right Expertise and Discourage Chumminess With the CEO.

Boards are better equipped to detect fraud when directors have financial expertise. When financially savvy directors are also materially detached from the firm and sit on boards’ audit committees, boards seem to be especially effective at reining in white-collar crimes, according to University of Alabama and HSBC study.

When directors are familiar with the companies they advise, executives have fewer opportunities to commit corporate crimes. In the Theranos case, directors may have not had sufficient relevant knowledge for evaluating the CEOs claims. For independent directors, gaining knowledge of the inner workings of a firm can be especially difficult. It may require years of serving on a firm’s board. But spending many years on the same board creates a different kind of risk: becoming too friendly with the CEO. When a board is comprised of a CEO’s friends, its directors may not question management’s decisions or call out problems as much.

Adding women to boards, staffing the audit committee exclusively with independent directors, and balancing directors’ knowledge of the firm with an arm’s length relationship to the CEO are important adjustments that have the potential to curtail corporate crime.

If more companies made these adjustments to their boards, the Department of Justice may find there are fewer companies to prosecute with the tougher measures they announced.

Open-world action adventure game KAKU: Ancient Seal launches in 2023 for PS5, PS4, and PC - Gematsu

ragamnyakabar.blogspot.com

Open-world action adventure fantasy game KAKU: Ancient Seal will launch for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam in 2023, Chinese developer BINGOBELL announced.

A new demo will be made available for PC via Steam starting September 30 at 9:00 p.m. ET / October 1 at 12:00 a.m. ET.

Here is an overview of the game, via BINGOBELL:

KAKU: Ancient Seal lets players navigate their own path through a mysterious continent full of strange creatures, ancient ruins, and unique tribes.

KAKU: Ancient Seal puts players in the role of a young primitive child, Kaku, who’s tasked with going on a journey across a sprawling continent. Accompanied by your pet pig, you’ll have to brave the four elemental regions—Flaming Mountain, Dragon Bone Desert, Misty Swamp, and Windy Snow Field—and conquer their lords if you’re to fulfill your destiny. Most importantly, you’ll have to find food, since your pig pal isn’t for eating.

It will take guts, whits, and skill to unearth the mysteries that lie deep within the ancient ruins of this land. Gather your own weapons, from wood, stone, and metal swords and shields to slingshots and other ranged weaponry. Gain access to multiple costumes and acquire new abilities by defeating bosses and completing quests. Maybe you’ll even make some new friends along the way!

“With KAKU: Ancient Seal we wanted to create a sense of mystery and adventure, where you can forge your own path to victory,” said BINGOBELL producer Brian Wang in a press release. “We offer players little guidance, as we find it more rewarding to experiment and find what works for you. It’s that feeling of freedom and adventure, peppered with small goals all throughout, that we can’t get enough of, and we’re very proud of the strange, varied world we’ve come up with.”

Watch a new trailer below. View a new set of screenshots at the gallery.
