Even after Nesmith started to get hot, the Knicks seemed safe when Brunson’s 3-pointer made it 119-105 with 2:51 to go. But Nesmith would later hit consecutive 3s and both free throws when the Knicks fouled him intentionally so he couldn’t try to tie it with another, giving Indiana the chance to tie on Haliburton’s shot.

Audits of cattle purchases made in 2022 were done at 89 slaughterhouse units, including major companies such as JBS, Minerva and Marfrig.
These audits, however, only examine direct purchases, leaving out widespread cattle laundering in the Amazon. The most common way is transferring cows from an illegal area to a legal farm before selling to slaughterhouses, deliberately muddying traceability.Negrini said the problem has worsened as cattle ranchers find ways around tighter monitoring of direct cattle purchases since the settlement.
Preliminary data in the report show that only 38% of slaughterhouses’ indirect suppliers were verifiably compliant. To reach this number, prosecutors examined transfer documents issued by state animal health agencies.“Some slaughterhouses have as many as six indirect suppliers behind each direct one. It’s a significant part of the supply chain that still lacks proper monitoring,” said Camila Trigueiro, a researcher at the Belem-based nonprofit Imazon. “The Federal Prosecution Service must move urgently to address these producers.”
