BOSTON — 

Massachusetts became the first state to ban the sale of flavored tobacco and vaping products, including menthol cigarettes, after the Republican governor Wednesday signed a bill passed in response to recent deaths linked to e-cigarettes and attempts to reduce their appeal to young people.

Anti-smoking groups hailed the ban signed by Gov. Charlie Baker, which outlaws the sale of flavored vaping products immediately and of menthol cigarettes starting June 1, 2020.

Some states have temporarily banned or restricted flavored tobacco or vaping products to different degrees, but Massachusetts is the first state with a permanent ban in place, anti-smoking groups say. Especially notable is its ban on menthol, which is among the most popular flavors and has often been exempted from bans. California has sued vaping giant Juul, claiming it unlawfully targeted minors.

The bill is a “major step forward,” Baker said, but states can do only so much to address the public health emergency around e-cigarettes and other vaping products. The federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration are the only ones that can address the issues comprehensively, he said.

President Trump has promised for months to approve a national ban on most flavored e-cigarettes. But in recent weeks his administration canceled a planned announcement of a ban, and Trump has said he would meet with vaping industry leaders and medical professionals instead.

“It’s pretty clear there isn’t going to be a federal policy on this anytime soon,” Baker said Wednesday. “So in the absence of that, we had to act.”

The New England Convenience Store and Energy Marketers Assn., which had opposed the legislation, said in a statement the ban would disproportionately affect communities of color and cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue.

Studies have shown menthol cigarettes are consumed disproportionately by young people and minorities, and anti-tobacco groups and health experts have argued menthol has been marketed in particular to African Americans.

The law’s restrictions are important because the new flavored products have helped the traditional smoking market grow and led to the flavored vaping products popular with youths, state Atty. Gen. Maura Healey said.

“This is not a nanny state effort,” said Healey, a Democrat. “This is a significant public health effort.”

The American Cancer Society’s Cancer Action Network said it hoped the new law would send a message to an industry accused of using flavored products to introduce teenagers to smoking.

“More than 80% of teens who have ever used a tobacco product started with a flavored product, and the tobacco industry knows this,” the organization said in an emailed statement.

The law places a 75% excise tax on vaping products and require health insurers, including the state’s Medicaid program, to cover tobacco cessation counseling.

In September, Baker had declared a public health emergency and ordered a temporary ban on the sale of all vaping products — flavored and unflavored. Baker said Wednesday he’ll keep that ban in place until Dec. 11 while his administration drafts additional regulations.

HONOLULU — 

A Hawaii man tormented a Utah family for over a year by sending more than 500 people to their house for unwanted services including food deliveries, repairs, tow trucks, locksmiths, plumbers and prostitutes, according to a U.S. prosecutor who called it “extreme cyberstalking.”

Loren Okamura is scheduled for a detention hearing Wednesday in Honolulu’s federal courthouse following his arrest at a supermarket last week after his indictment last month on charges of cyberstalking, interstate threats and transporting people for prostitution, court documents show.

Okamura, 44, targeted a father and his adult daughter, sending the woman threatening messages and posting her picture and address online, authorities said. One posting said the homeowner wanted drugs and prostitutes at the house in a quiet, middle-class neighborhood in a Salt Lake City suburb.

The Gilmore family was “tormented” during the year-plus in which the “extreme cyberstalking” took place, said John Huber, U.S. attorney for Utah, before reporters Tuesday.

Investigators had been focused on Okamura as the suspect since January when the Gilmores were granted a protective injunction from him in Utah. It took investigators time to gather enough evidence to charge Okamura because of his use of encryption and apps that made him appear anonymous, Huber said.

“For all the good that technology offers us in our modern lifestyles, there is also a darker, seedier side to it,” Huber said. “That’s what you have here.”

Huber declined to disclose the relationship between the victims and Okamura but said it was not random. He noted that most stalkers have had previous relationships with their victims and said that “those dynamics are present in this case.”

A sealed indictment was issued on Oct. 2, but Okamura wasn’t arrested until Friday as police struggled to find him because he doesn’t have a permanent address or job and authorities said he was “savvy” with technology used to mask his phone’s location.

A team of Utah officers flew to Honolulu and teamed with FBI agents on a 15-hour search that ended when they arrested him at the supermarket, said Sgt. Jeff Plank of the Utah Department of Public Safety, who was assigned to the FBI’s cybercrime task force.

Okamura’s federal public defender, Sharron Rancourt, did not immediately return a phone message and emails seeking comment.

Prosecutors say that Okamura’s online stalking began sometime in 2018 and that he sent as many as 500 unwanted people to the house.

Utah police went to the North Salt Lake house more than 80 times over a four-month period from November 2018 to February 2019. The activities affected the entire neighborhood, prosecutors have said.

Okamura also sent the woman extensive and repeated texts and voicemails, authorities said.

In May, the woman received an email telling her she should “sleep with one eye open and keep looking over her shoulder.” The email also said: “You should just kill yourself and do your family a favor,” charging documents show.

Prosecutors have said they have records from Okamura’s cellphone and Apple ID to support the charges.

Walt Gilmore did not immediately return messages seeking comment Tuesday.

Ainsi que l’affirme le site Bloody Disgusting, le neuvième long métrage de la saga “Saw” (attendu pour fin 2020) pourrait être porté par le duo Samuel L. Jackson – Chris Rock.

Même si l’information reste à prendre avec des pincettes pour le moment, il semblerait selon le site Bloody Disgusting (qui affirme pouvoir confirmer la rumeur lancée par le forum Reddit) que le neuvième long métrage de la saga horrifique Saw – attendu pour fin 2020 – sera porté par Samuel L. Jackson et par Chris Rock.

Ce dernier, qui a en tout cas participé à l’écriture du scénario, pourrait ainsi partager l’écran avec l’interprète de Nick Fury (actuellement à l’affiche de Spider-Man: Far From Home). Ce nouveau film, dont on ne sait pas encore clairement s’il s’agira d’une suite, d’un spin-off ou d’un prequel, sera en tout cas mis en scène par Darren Lynn Bousman (réalisateur des épisodes 2, 3 et 4) et s’intitulera The Organ Donor (Le donneur d’organes), ainsi que vient de nous l’apprendre un post Instagram de ce dernier :

En attendant davantage d’informations sur le film, dont le tournage vient de débuter, (re)découvrez les pièges les plus marquants de la saga :

A 25-year-old man has been arrested in Kerala for sexually assaulting more than 50 women he befriended on social media. The man revealed that he blackmailed the women with their morphed obscene photos.

Pradeesh Kumar from Areeparambu near Ettumanoor was arrested after a woman filed a police complaint.

He told police that he targeted women on various social media platforms and took their phone numbers. After establishing contact, mostly homemakers, and understanding their family issues, he used to create fake profiles posing as a female and got in touch with the husbands of his potential targets.

The accused used to take screenshots of the chats their husbands had with the fake accounts and forwarded it to their wives to convince them about their spouse’s “illicit relationships,” reported PTI.

Red Bull plans on sampling its canopy cockpit protection for the very first time in Friday’s free practice for the Russian Grand Prix in Sochi.

Called ‘Aeroscreen’, the system features a windscreen supported by two props, which makes it quite different from the Halo concept debuted by Ferrari in pre-season testing and that has a central pillar and no windscreen.

Daniel Ricciardo recently revealed that he had sat in a mockup design at the Red Bull factory, describing visibility as “fine”. It is reported that Friday’s test will include an installation lap to check whether this is still the case when the car is in motion.

The FIA previously said it was on schedule to have the Halo introduced next year regardless of whether a better system appears by then, but Red Bull is clearly pushing on with its in-house concept.

F1’s governing body has been looking to enhance driver head protection for several years, with the deaths of Jules Bianchi and Justin Wilson making the matter all the more urgent.

Si les films de crocodiles sont bien souvent indissociables du nanar, le réalisateur français a voulu revenir à un cinéma de terreur premier degré, aux effets spéciaux soignés (dans la veine de Haute tension  et La Colline a des yeux).

McLaren has done “an amazing job” over the past 12 months to be able to reach Q3 at the Canadian Grand Prix, according to Fernando Alonso.

A Honda-powered McLaren only reached the final part of qualifying for the first time at this year’s Spanish Grand Prix, with Alonso following that result up with another appearance in Q3 in Monaco. Despite the emphasis put on the power unit in Canada, Alonso again made it through to the final session on Saturday and was full of praise for the team’s improvement.

“Definitely, very happy, we did an amazing job with the car in 12 months and we are in a position now that is better than we expected,” Alonso said. “I think we have to say thanks to everyone in the team.

“Today in Q2 we were ahead of one Force India in Canada which is something which was difficult to imagine a couple of months ago. We were four-tenths behind Ferrari so that is something that pushes everyone in the factory and boost everyone in terms of motivation. Hopefully we keep this development.”

While Alonso is wary of setting expectations too high for Sunday’s race, he does believe McLaren will be able to challenge the likes of Williams and Force India on many occasions this season.

“It depends on the circuit layout. Here we are a little bit more concerned about our pace in the race, our fuel saving for tomorrow so let’s say we will have better opportunities than tomorrow. But who knows? There is some forecast for some rain for tomorrow so maybe that will help our package and our level of pace.

“We are ready for any opportunity and to fight. We are here for any opportunity. There is nothing to lose, we are not fighting for any world championships so it is maximum attack again.”
