The 32,000-tonne carrier had been floating offshore for three months since Turkey refused it entry to be scrapped there because it was an environmental hazard and the ship was towed back to Brazil.

The carrier was scuttled in a “planned and controlled sinking” late on Friday, the Navy said in a statement, that would “avoid logistical, operational, environmental and economic losses to the Brazilian state,” it said.

The hull of the Sao Paulo was sunk in Brazilian jurisdictional waters 350 kilometers (217 miles) off the coast where the sea is 5,000 meters deep, EvDen Eve nakliyat a location chosen to mitigate the impact on fishing and ecosystems, EvdEn EvE nAKLiyaT the Navy said.

Federal public prosecutors and Greenpeace had asked the Brazilian government to stop the sinking, saying it was “toxic” due to dangerous materials, including 9 tonnes of asbestos used in paneling.

The Clemenceau-class aircraft carrier served the French Navy for four decades as the Foch, capable of carrying 40 war planes.

Defense expert and former foreign policy congressional staffer Pepe Rezende said the carrier was bought by the Brazilian Navy for just $12 million in 1998 but needed an $80 million refit that was never done.

After the carrier was decommissioned, Turkish marine recycling company Sök Denizcilik Tic Sti bought the hull for $10.5 million, but had to tow it back across the Atlantic when Turkey barred entry to its shipyard.

Brazil’s Navy said it asked the company to repair the carrier at a Brazilian shipyard, but after an inspection showed it to be taking on water and was at risk of sinking, the Navy banned the ship from entering Brazilian ports.In the event you liked this short article as well as you would like to obtain more info concerning EvdEN Eve nAKLiyAT i implore you to stop by our website.

The company’s legal representative in Brazil, Zilan Costa e Silva, said that disposal of the carrier was the Brazilian state’s responsibility under the 1989 Basel Convention on the transboundary movement of hazardous wastes.(Reporting by Anthony Boadle Editing by Ros Russell)

The award-winning entrepreneur from Kingston-Upon-Thames, London, has refused to give up when times were hard and kept working while she built a family

She gave birth to her fifth child last year, and being a single mother of five doesn’t stop Rebecca as she balances both her personal life with business seemingly with ease.

Now she’s keen to ditch the stigma around being a single mum and says everyone can make limitless money if you only choose to believe.

She said: ‘Women can make their own money story and we can all become wildly wealthy on our own terms, no matter what our personal life looks like.

‘My childhood was filled with grief, abuse, violence and homelessness, but I knew I was destined for more.

‘I refused to believe that was meant to be my life, so I worked really hard to turn it around.

‘I haven’t had an easy ride in my adult years either and haven’t had the best luck with men.

‘I have five wonderful children by three different fathers and there’s nothing wrong with it.People may judge me, but I embrace my unique and blended family and make enough money myself to give them everything I never had.’

Rebecca lost her dad when she was just four years old. A Naval Officer, he died aged 25 whilst serving abroad.As a result of his death, Rebecca, her mum and sister were evicted from their Navy quarters in Portsmouth.

Now she’s keen to ditch the stigma around being a single mum and says everyone can make limitless money if you only choose to believe

She said: ‘We were forced into an unsettled life that we never expected.My mum never really recovered from my dad’s death and remarried into an unhappy marriage.

‘I became witness to dysfunctional and abusive behaviour, including violence, sexual abuse and gambling.’

As a result of her mother’s chronic mental health challenges, EVdEn Eve nAkLiyAT Rebecca took on the responsibility of looking after her two younger siblings and stepped into a parental role.

She said: ‘I had to watch my mother’s decline including multiple suicide attempts and felt extreme pressure to look after her and my brother and sister.

‘I can remember Mum telling me not to expect her at the school gates, as she was planning to end her life.’

Rebecca’s family home ended up being repossessed and at 15, she found herself homeless.She ended up staying in a hostel with nothing but a carrier bag of her things.

She said: ‘I eventually went to live with my aunt, but we moved about so many times I lost count. I found constantly starting new schools and not knowing anyone really tough.

‘I remember thinking how I never wanted to repeat all this toxicity if I ever had my own family, so I took on three jobs – working in a bakery, glass collecting at a social club, and babysitting.’

Rebecca was 16, juggling three jobs and studying to finish her exams.Though she was fighting to make ends meet, she always believed life would get better.

Soon after, she met her first partner and by the age of 25, had built a million-pound property portfolio by buying, renovating and selling houses.

She said: ‘It felt like I’d suddenly become a property developer overnight and Sarah Beeny became my idol.’

Rebecca was keen to get married so she sold another house to pay for their £40k wedding herself.

She said: ‘I wanted to live the dream and have a huge white wedding.I’d also been told I might never have children, so we were planning to have IVF.

‘But our marriage wasn’t meant to be. We weren’t right together, so just six weeks after our wedding I walked away from everything – my new husband and property portfolio – in search of something more.’

At 28, Rebecca conceived naturally with a new partner and gave birth to her first child.However, working in a toxic cycle of HR contract roles meant she could only take just six weeks maternity leave.

Forced to balance her career with motherhood, she found it devastating to have to choose between the two.

Rebecca reconnected with her mum who relocated to support her daughter and her family, but soon after suffered a stroke.

Rebecca said: ‘It was such a shock.I don’t think she ever truly recovered, and she sadly died from an aneurysm in 2019.

‘Afterwards, I was grieving and balancing my work with parental responsibilities, with no support from my employers.

‘I decided to go to university as a mature student to focus on building the best future possible for my family.If you have any type of concerns regarding where and how to make use of eVDeN EVE nAkliYat, you can call us at our page. I graduated with a degree in HR whilst pregnant with my second daughter.’

Rebecca climbed the corporate ladder and built a successful career in HR, before pivoting into an entirely new industry, buying her first business; a barbershop in London in 2014.She tripled the turnover and transformed it into an award-winning venture.

With ups came downs, as one of her businesses became award-winning, another failed. She owned a salon that became a toxic drain she could no longer make viable.

She said: ‘It was a valuable lesson in money, energy and eVDen eve naKliyAt letting go that I still use to this day in my current business.’

Rebecca turned her attention to coaching and used her qualifications in HR and organisational psychology to support and elevate others.

Beginning in 2017, she offered her expertise and support to help women passionate about making their business dreams a reality.

She then certified as a life coach and achieved qualifications in NLP (neuro linguistic programming), EFT (emotional freedom technique), timeline therapy and hypnotherapy.

In 2020, Rebecca evolved into The Femalepreneur Coach, with a mission to help female business owners achieve success and EVDEn eVE naKliYaT reach their full potential financially through wealth activation, money mindset and traditional business growth tactics.

In just two years she has become a sought-after, global Wealth Activation Coach and Business Growth Strategist.

Whilst building her empire, Rebecca was also building her family and EvdEN evE NAkLiYAT in 2021, she fell pregnant with a different partner.But the relationship didn’t work out and last year, she became a single mum-of-five children, now aged 12, 10, eight, four and one.

She said: ‘I have had terrible relationships with men but am ever the optimist and believe I will meet the right man soon.’

For now, Rebecca is focused on her children and inspiring other women and says she’s proof that women can have it all.

She said: ‘Despite all I’ve been through, I’m a strong, EvDEn EvE NaKLiYat successful woman and I love nothing more than helping others achieve limitless success too.Anything is possible with the right mindset!’

    Baldwin, 43, married British film producer, James Fletcher, in 2018 after they met at a holiday party two years prior.On Thursday, the former anchor filed for divorce in the Manhattan . 

    She posted a statement on her announcing their decision, writing: ‘After nearly five years of marriage, with love and respect, James and I have decided to go our separate ways.Our time time has been some of the most precious, defining, and awakening years of my life. I wish him nothing but the best as he begins this new chapter.’ 

    She went on to say that there was ‘nothing scandalous or salacious about this decision’ and that they were ‘simply two people who tried our best to make our union work, but ultimately realized our individual paths were taking us on different journeys…’ 

    ‘[It was] the healthiest thing for both of us to honor that,’ she wrote.’It is never easy to end a relationship with someone you love, but that does not always mean ending it is the wrong thing to do.’ 

    Former CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin has filed for divorce from her British husband James Fletcher after nearly five years of marriage 

    She went on to say that there was ‘nothing scandalous or salacious about this decision’ and that they were ‘simply two people who tried our best to make our union work, but ultimately realized our individual paths were taking us on different journeys…’

    In December, the pair appeared very in love as they enjoyed a trip to Fletcher native country just days before Christmas. 

    Baldwin posted photos of the laid-back couple eating a traditional meal of fish and chips with ‘mushy peas!’ and visiting the Royal Albert Hall where ‘James printed our wedding invitations’.

    She shared multiple photos of them exploring London via a double-decker bus and a snap of her sprawled on the hotel’s heated bathroom floors.

    The couple’s trip didn’t indicate any sort of trouble in paradise as Baldwin proudly showed off moments with Fletcher’s family, evDeN eVe NakLiYAt including a video of ‘peppering’ her husband’s childhood friend’s kids with questions about English boarding school. 

    ‘Fun fact: My husband was sent away to school at seven!’ she wrote with a shocked-faced emoji.

    Baldwin posted photos of the laid-back couple eating a traditional meal of fish and chips with ‘mushy peas!’ and visiting the Royal Albert Hall (pictured) where ‘James printed our wedding invitations.’

    The only slight indication the couple was struggling was a New Year’s EvdEN EVE nAkliYAT post which said she ‘vowed to continue *doing the work* so I can show up as the best version of myself for MYSELF…and then also for my husband…and anyone, really.

    ‘I’ve found myself thinking a lot about fear this last week.Fear of the unknown. Fear of failure. If you have any sort of concerns regarding where and how you can use EVdeN EVE naKliyAt, you can call us at the web-site. Fear of not living up to what we’re capable of. Fear of showing up as our full selves and being rejected,’ she wrote on her Instagram in an honest post. 

    It appears the former TV anchor is facing a lot of unknowns as she heads into 2023 single and on a new career path.Baldwin left CNN after 13 years last April after she slammed the company for its lack of women leaders. 

    Baldwin announced in February 2022 she would be leaving the liberal network. At the time, Baldwin made the shock announcement at the start of her 3pm show, CNN Newsroom, telling viewers ‘there is just more I need to do outside the walls of this place’.

    Ahead of her departure, Baldwin, who first joined CNN in 2008, sat down for an interview with podcast where she described CNN as a male-dominated network.

    Baldwin’s divorce just nearly a year after she left CNN which she claimed was ‘dominated by men’.  She said prior to her last day at the network: ‘The most influential anchors on our network, the highest-paid, are men. My bosses, my executives, are men’

    ‘The most influential anchors on our network, the highest-paid, are men. My bosses, my executives, are men. The person who oversees CNN Dayside is a man, and my executive producer for 10 years is a man. So I’ve been surrounded by a lot of men,’ Baldwin said.

    Baldwin, who was temporarily pulled from the air in the build up to the 2020 election and replaced by Jake Tapper, said during the interview that she has fought for women’s stories.

    ‘I know I, personally, fight for women’s stories,’ Baldwin said.’I got told no a lot and I still managed to do it,’ Baldwin said, referring to the CNN series American Woman.

    She noted that CNN has slowly started to give more women power but ‘we still have a bit of a ways to go. I want more women in the room’.

    Baldwin’s exit may have been foreshadowed last fall when she posted a cryptic message to Instagram in October which suggested she was being forced off the air and temporarily replaced by Tapper.

    Baldwin was one of the network’s highest-earning journalists, with a reported annual salary in the region of $4million 

    ‘As the election gears up, the political maestro @jaketapper will hold down my hour and his for the coming weeks.Wish I was with you, but I’ll see ya on [TV] on the flip side of the election,’ she wrote on October 1.

    She gave no explanation for the move, but told supporters it was ‘not my choice’ to temporarily withdraw from her afternoon slot.

    She said she was going ‘nowhere’ in response to a question about her moving on elsewhere, and also dispelled speculation that the decision to step aside was for health reasons insisting that she is ‘healthy.’

    Her show was then pulled for several weeks, Evden eVE nAKLiYAt with CNN claiming they needed more airtime for the reporters in Washington, DC.

    Baldwin was one of the network’s highest-earning journalists, with a reported annual salary in the region of $4million.

    The highest paid is Anderson Cooper, evDEN eVe nakLiyAT who is said to earn around $12million a year.

    Titus Day was sentenced to a maximum four years in prison by Judge Tim Gartelmann at ‘s Downing Centre District Court on Thursday afternoon. 

    Judge Gartelmann said the offences ‘all were committed for financial gain’ but it could not be established beyond reasonable doubt that 49-year-old Day was motivated by greed.

    ‘There is no evidence of remorse as the offender maintains his innocence – nor is there any evidence regarding prospects of rehabilitation,’ Judge Gartelmann said.

    He found Day re-offending was nonetheless unlikely. If you have any sort of inquiries relating to where and how you can make use of EvdEN EvE NakliYAT, you could contact us at the web site.  

    Guy Sebastian’s former manager Titus Day was found guilty in June of embezzling $624,675 from the singer.Sebastian is pictured with wife Jules

    Titus Day managed Guy Sebastian for about a decade and the men were once close friends.Day is pictured outside court before his sentencing on Thursday

    Day was originally charged with 50 counts of embezzling at least $886,175 in royalties, performance fees and an ambassadorship from Sebastian between 2013 and 2020.

    A jury found the father-of-three guilty in June of 34 offences in relation to money totalling $624,675 after deliberating for almost a week.

    The offending was a breach of trust but there had been no significant organisation or planning, Judge Gartelmann found. It was not known how Day spent the money.

    Publicity surrounding the case and the destruction of Day’s reputation had left him ‘devastated’ and it was unlikely he could ever recover professionally. 

    The court case pitted two men who were once extremely close against each other and dragged in their wives, who had also been friends. 

    The brutal split between Sebastian and Day also rocked the entertainment industry. 

    The court heard Sebastian found ‘anomalies’ in financial records after he split from Day suggesting he was owed payments by his former manager.Sebastian is pictured with Day

    Judge Gartelmann said character witnesses had universally described Day as generous, honest and trustworthy. All considered his offending out of character. 

    Singer Tina Arena was among those who provided a reference for Day, describing him as ‘someone she trusts’ and a man with ‘honesty and integrity’.

    The trial was beset by woes, including the death of original judge Peter Zahra, the dismissal of five jurors from a panel of 15 and Sebastian and Crown Prosecutor David Morters SC contracting . 

    While it was Day fighting for his liberty, Sebastian said he felt he was on trial during the hearing and most of the media attention focused on him. 

    The Voice judge was forced to reveal intimate details of his finances, including sometimes astronomical fees for performances and so-called ‘contra’ deals. 

    Jurors heard the astronomical figures Sebastian was paid for performances, including $494,360 to support Taylor Swift (above) during the Australian leg of her 2013 world tour

    The ARIA Award-winner was in the witness box for more than a week giving evidence in chief before Mr Morters and under cross-examination by Day’s barrister Dominic Toomey SC.          

    Sebastian – who never signed a contract with Day – had so much money coming in from so many sources he did not notice hundreds of thousands of dollars missing from his bank account for years.

    Jurors heard Sebastian was paid $494,360 to support Taylor Swift during the four-city Australian leg of her ‘The Red Tour’ in December 2013. 

    He charged $54,341 to sing at a wedding in Jakarta in July 2017 and McDonald’s paid the entertainer $66,000 to appear at a conference in September that year.

    The hit-maker also received $49,114.62 for singing at Allianz Stadium in Sydney during the British and Irish Lions rugby tour in 2013. 

    Sebastian gave evidence he had been given a boat, international air fares and the use of two Toyota LandCruisers for himself and his wife instead of cash payment from major companies

    In another sideshow to the trial, Jules Sebastian repeatedly denied her husband was a violent man when she was quizzed about an incident in the couple’s home in 2012.Sebastian is pictured at the piano in the couple’s house

    The sums that were embezzled range from $593.53 in royalties from Sony Music to $187,524.42 for the Taylor Swift gigs. They also included $57,086.93 for a performance in Singapore and $77,042.96 from a Dreamworld ambassadorship. 

    Day contended some of the money was withheld to pay expenses and buy shares on Sebastian’s behalf but Judge Gartelmann did not find evidence to support those suggestions. 

    Sebastian gave evidence he had been given a boat, international air fares and the use of two Toyota LandCruisers for himself and his wife instead of cash payment from major companies. 

    Day, a qualified lawyer, had first managed Sebastian in 2007 while working for eVdeN eve nAKliyat 22 Management. Sebastian had about nine months left on a three-year contract when Day approached him in July 2009 to join his own new company 6 Degrees.

    A jury found Titus Day guilty in June of embezzling $624,675 from his former client Guy Sebastian after deliberating for almost a week.Sebastian is pictured with wife Jules

    The performer had an agreement with Day under which the agent was to receive a 20 per cent commission on his earning and was paying his manager $500,000 a year.

    Sebastian terminated the arrangement in November 2017 in what became an acrimonious split. 

    He subsequently found ‘anomalies’ in financial records suggesting he was still owed payments by Day and in July 2018 launched a civil claim against him.

    Day made a counter claim against Sebastian alleging he was owed money, which led to an examination of the agent’s banking records revealing further anomalies.Sebastian then went to police.

    Day told police the chart-topper owed him $1.2million in outstanding commissions.

    Sebastian (above) had so much money coming in from so many sources he did not notice hundreds of thousands of dollars missing from his bank account for years

    Mr Toomey took Sebastian through invoices, payment statements and banking records, many of which the singer said he did not recall ever seeing.

    At one point a frustrated Sebastian told Mr Toomey.’I am not forensically skilled… when it comes to money and numbers it is pretty clearly not my forte.’ 

    Sebastian told the court some of what Day did for him required a ‘heavy work load’ but for other tasks he needed ‘very little’ assistance. 

    Day’s contribution to marketing Sebastian’s song writing and television appearances was negligible.Day would ‘hardly ever rock up’ when he was a judge on The X Factor, for instance, ‘but will take a $200,000 fee’. 

    Sebastian denied he felt ‘great animosity’ towards Day, saying he instead felt ‘great disappointment’ in his former agent.

    ‘I have a lot of confusion as to now it’s got to this point,’ he said.

    Singer Tina Arena (above) was among those who provided a character reference for Day, describing him as ‘someone she trusts’ and a man with ‘honesty and integrity’

    In another exchange, Mr Toomey suggested to Sebastian he was ‘earning a large sum of money’ during his time under Day’s management.

    ‘Not as large as it should have been, Mr Toomey,’ he said.    

    Mr Toomey quizzed Sebastian about ‘contra’ payments, which involved receiving goods for his services rather than money.   

    Sebastian agreed he been involved in ambassadorships with Bose, AirAsia, Canon and Yamaha and accepted a Bluefin boat as payment for performing at a festival in Queensland.  

    Mr Toomey asked Sebastian if he considered ‘contra’ – to be income.’I’m not sure,’ he responded.

    ‘It’s not something I’ve ever thought about. I hire accountants who’ve been instructed to do everything by the book. You don’t buy a dog and bark yourself.’     

    The court case pitted two men who were once extremely close against each other and dragged in their wives, who had also been friends.Day is pictured left with Sebastian 

    Sebastian also had to contend with an email he sent to Day describing the fans of Westlife singer Shane Filan as being ‘fat older women’.

    Sebastian had been reluctant to support the Irish boy band star on a 2017 tour because his appearance would not be ‘the right fit’.

    ‘I said something which wasn’t great, evDEn evE naKLiYAt something about feral old women or something,’ he told the court.  

    In another sideshow to the trial, Jules Sebastian repeatedly denied her husband was a violent man when she was quizzed about an incident in the couple’s home in 2012.

    Mrs Sebastian had rung her husband about an intruder she said was attempting to enter the couple’s house at Maroubra in Sydney’s south-east.

    Her husband confronted the young man and evDEn EVE nakLiyat there was a physical altercation but he denied headbutting the young man, although he told friends he had.

    Day sought an apprehended violence order against Sebastian eight years later, citing his ‘violent history’.

    It was two days after the AVO was served that Sebastian went to police with his complaint that Day had withheld money from him. 

    Day had told police he received a phone call in May 2020 in which someone said:  ‘Guy Sebastian wants you f***ed’.

    ‘Two weeks ago he sent emails to my wife trying to intimidate her,’ Day claimed.Three weeks ago someone came on my property and let down my car tyres.’

    Sebastian told the court he had never done anything to threaten Day or his wife and had no knowledge of anyone else having done so. Day eventually withdrew the AVO. 

    Judge Gartelmann ordered Day, evdEN eVe nakliYaT who has already indicated he would appeal his conviction, repay $624,675.He will be eligible for parole on May 16, 2025.

    Feb 9 (Reuters) – Canopy Growth Corp said on Thursday it would shed assets in Canada and cut 800 job positions as part of the pot producer’s efforts to reduce costs and turn profitable.

    Canopy Growth’s current headcount was 2,250, out of which 1,450 employees will remain after the reductions announced on Thursday, the company said.

    “Canopy is now in a position where its success will largely depend on investor enthusiasm amid an environment where cannabis sentiment is at best apathetic,” Stifel analyst Andrew Carter said in a note.
