CNN —A couple of African paradise islands have been on the radar of avid world travelers for some time. Shellfish Bay on the island’s windward side shelters one of East Africa’s most spectacular beaches, a crescent of white sand framed by 100-meter dunes. Bazaruto Island Resort, the island’s top digs, can arrange scuba diving and snorkeling, sailing on traditional dhow boats, guided 4x4 wildlife safaris, sandboarding on the dunes and other outdoor activities. Lamu’s best beaches are on the island’s windward side, around a 30–40-minute walk via Shela village. — and an ancient stone nilometer for measuring the river’s water level — reflect the island’s importance during pharaonic times.

Its restaurant portfolio includes Outback Steakhouse, Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bonefish Grill and Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar. But a better opportunity might be their hidden gem in the 150 Outback restaurants in Brazil. As for Starboard, the firm has had extensive success at both Papa John's and Darden, but in strikingly different ways. Papa John's was a very amicable engagement in which Starboard was invited onto the board and worked with management to create extensive shareholder value. If management is smart, they will view Darden as a warning, and Papa John's as the opportunity.

REUTERS/Paulo Whitaker/file photo Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Private equity firm Bain Capital on Tuesday agreed to buy Fogo de Chão, in a deal people familiar with the matter said valued the Brazilian steakhouse chain at about $1.1 billion, including debt. The deal marks a win for private equity firm Rhone Capital, which took Fogo de Chão private for $560 million in 2018. The restaurant chain confidentially submitted paperwork for an initial public offering to regulators in late 2021, the sources said. Earlier in August, the Pollo Tropical restaurant chain was sold to Authentic Restaurant Brands for $225 million. Morgan Stanley & Co LLC is serving as financial adviser to Fogo de Chão and Rhône, while Sullivan & Cromwell served as legal counsel.

After our fill of scampering, we went to nearby Ponta da Ferraria to soak. A bubbling hot spring beneath the lava cliffs creates a heated cove right within the ocean. We followed the trail of sunbathers and adventure seekers past the indoor spa to the black, sometimes jagged, rocks where scores of people lay. Warm and churning, invigorating and intimidating, the water bounced us between the rocky edges and a rope strewn across the waterway for safe-holding. We parked and walked to the trailhead, the wind whipping against us, stirring whitecaps on the volcanic lake thousands of feet below.

☆ Mediterranean restaurant chain Cava is going public. More restaurants could follow its lead

As Cava prepares to make its public market debut Thursday, other restaurant companies will be watching closely while they decide whether to follow in the Mediterranean restaurant chain's footsteps. The last 18 months have marked the slowest initial public offering market since the financial crisis. Cava's IPO could help break that drought, as a handful of restaurants watch to see how the chain fares as they mull whether to jump into the public market themselves. "A successful IPO from Cava should open the door to more restaurant IPOs," said Matt Kennedy, senior strategist at Renaissance Capital. That bodes well for the restaurant companies waiting in the wings to go public.

☆ A 'string of successes' fueling the IPO market, and the ETF that tracks it

"We do see a light at the end of the tunnel," Matt Kennedy, Senior IPO Market Strategist for Renaissance Capital, told CNBC's Bob Pisani on "ETF Edge" on Monday. Kennedy's firm runs the Renaissance Capital IPO ETF (IPO), which tracks the performance of newly public company stocks. According to Renaissance Capital, holdings in the IPO ETF cycle out three years after being listed on the market. The 10-year average of capital raised for new initial public offerings is $55 billion, but only $7.7 billion was raised last year, according to Renaissance Capital. Nearly the same amount has already been raised so far this year ($7.3 billion), fueling anticipation that the market is finally getting back on track.

Cel puţin 25 de persoane, printre care un poliţist, şi-au pierdut viaţa joi într-o vastă operaţiune antidrog într-o favela din Rio de Janeiro, au raportat poliţia şi media braziliene, notează Agerpres. Operaţiunea a fost efectuată joi devreme împotriva unor traficanţi de droguri acuzaţi de recrutare de minori în cartierul sărac Jacarezinho, la nord de Rio. De asemenea, locuitorii au postat înregistrări video pe reţelele sociale care arată explozii, focuri de armă şi elicoptere survolând zona. Cartierul Jacarezinho este considerat ca o bază pentru Comando Vermelho (Comando Roşu), cea mai mare grupare de traficanţi de droguri din Rio de Janeiro. Poliţia a indicat că operaţiunea a fost urmarea unei anchete care a permis obţinerea unui mandat de interceptare a comunicaţiilor suspecţilor şi identificarea a 21 de membri ai grupării criminale "însărcinaţi să asigure dominaţia teritorială cu ajutorul armelor de foc".
