Demonstrators take part in a protest against the government's handling of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, in Bangkok, Thailand, August 10, 2021. REUTERS/Soe Zeya Tun
BANGKOK, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Thai police clashed with protesters for a second successive day on Wednesday, after hundreds sought to rally near the residence of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha to demand his resignation for mismanaging the country's coronavirus crisis.
Hundreds of protesters threw paint at a line of riot police who confronted them as they tried to march on Prayuth's home and police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse them.
Barbed wire fences and shipping containers were used to block the road.
Police used tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullets to break up a similar protest on Tuesday, when thousands of demonstrators drove in a convoy of cars and motorcycles through Bangkok. read more
Police defended their use of force as a necessary public safety measure and said the 48 people arrested face charges ranging from arson and assault to violating coronavirus rules that ban public gathering.
Prayuth has come under fire for a chaotic vaccination campaign and failure to quell Thailand's worst COVID-19 wave yet, which has accounted for the bulk of the country's more than 788,000 cases and 6,700 deaths.
The youth-led protest movement sought to topple former junta leader Prayuth during big rallies late last year, accusing him of rigging Thailand's political system to stay in charge, which he denies. The government at that time had successfully contained its COVID-19 outbreaks.
Though some core leaders remain in detention, the movement has seen a resurgence since the coronavirus situation deteriorated.
Police said nine officers were injured at the Tuesday protest, one by gunshot to the leg and the others hurt by firecrackers, rocks and shrapnel from homemade bombs.
At least two police traffic boxes were set ablaze and other public property damaged, police said.
"Police decided to use tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullet because we considered that if we don't, there will be more damage," Bangkok police chief Pakapong Pongpetra told a news conference.

You can only imagine locals felt relieved. In Amsterdam last March, lockdown set in and tourism was put on pause.

Tropical Storm Fred formed Tuesday night off the coast of Puerto Rico, becoming the sixth named storm of the 2021 Atlantic hurricane season.

Hurricane Grace grounded flights and forced tourists to spend the night in shelters on Mexico's Caribbean coastline before weakening to a tropical storm on Thursday as it moved inland. Grace made landfall before dawn as a Category One hurricane -- the lowest on the five-level Saffir-Simpson scale -- on the Yucatan Peninsula near the town of Tulum, famed for its Mayan temples. It lost strength as it churned across the peninsula and was clocking maximum sustained winds of 95 kilometers (60 miles) per hour at 1800 GMT, the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami said. On Wednesday, as the hurricane approached Mexico, more than 100 flights to or from the major resort of Cancun were cancelled.

What The Bible Says About The Pandemic . . . Many outbreaks of pandemic diseases, such as COVID-19, have caused many to ask why God allows, or even causes, pandemic diseases and whether such illnesses are a definite sign of the end times. The Bible describes numerous occasions when God brought plagues and diseases on His people and on His enemies "to make you see my power"(Exodus 9:14,16). He used plagues on Egypt to force Pharaoh to release the Israelites from bondage, while sparing His people from being affected by them (Exodus 12:13) thus indicating His sovereign control over diseases and other afflictions. God also warned His people of the consequences of disobedience, including plagues (Leviticus 26:21-25). On two occasions, God destroyed 14,700 people and 24,000 people for various acts of disobedience (Numbers 16:49 and 25:9).

People are sharing their positive vaccination experiences in an effort to reassure those nervous about getting jabbed.
In a thread which has gone viral on Twitter – and not in the illness sense of the word – people are reassuring others about side effects and the general experience to counter rare horror stories which are often shared online.
In contrast to these horror stories, if anything most people reported feeling a bit tired after the shot, or getting a sore arm:
Others compared the experience to that of getting Covid and – spoiler alert– Covid was worse:
Some were upset that conspiracy theories about the vaccine like becoming magnetic turned out to be false:
And even those who got side-effects said it was completely worth it:
According to the latest available government data, 86.6 million doses of vaccine have been administered in the UK so far. 59.3 per cent of the population is fully vaccinated which equates to 75 per cent of people over the age of 18.
Despite this, there are still some people who are cautious about getting jabbed, with misinformation spread by anti-vaxxers playing some part in giving people jitters.
However, vaccine hesitancy among young people has fallen, new figures have suggested. For 16 and 17-year-olds, who are now able to get a Covid-19 jab after the decision was announced last week to extend the rollout to that age group, hesitancy has decreased from 14% to 11%.
Among those aged 18 to 21, hesitancy around jabs went down to 5% from 9%, and dropped slightly for 22 to 25-year-olds from 10% to 9%.
Overall, more than nine in 10 adults (96%) reported positive sentiment towards coronavirus vaccines while 4% reported hesitancy – figures unchanged from the previous findings which covered May 26 to June 20.
Threads like these go some way to helping people realise that getting a jab is not so bad and serious side effects are vanishingly rare.
We can even reveal that an indy100 writer was given a banana and chocolates when she received her first jab.
Who could say no to that?

Preparations at the large Field of Dreams stadium in Dyersville, Iowa on Wednesday, Aug. 11, 2021. Jose M. Osorio/Chicago Tribune
Chicago White Sox reliever Liam Hendriks has a checklist for the team’s trip to Dyersville, Iowa, for Thursday’s Field of Dreams game against the New York Yankees.
“I want to do my own Shoeless Joe kind of feeling, walk through the corn to the actual field,” Hendriks said during a conference call Monday. “There’s a 100% chance I’m going to get lost in the (corn) maze (next to field). I may need to have a flare gun in case I get lost and I need to start pitching.”
Count Hendriks among those eager to participate in Iowa’s first major-league game.
“I’m excited,” Hendriks said. “It’s not every day you get to be the first-ever major-league game in a state. That’s kind of cool. Hopefully I don’t suck and give up the first homer in the state of Iowa.”
The Sox and Yankees begin a three-game series in the most unusual of locations. Thursday’s game will be played at a temporary 8,000-seat ballpark on the Dyersville farm where the Academy Award-nominated 1989 movie “Field of Dreams” was filmed. The game will be televised nationally on FOX at 6 p.m.
“I was raised to embrace the history of the game,” Sox manager Tony La Russa said Tuesday. “Too often we lose parts of it. We should do a better job and we should do that.
“ ‘Field of Dreams’ is a great movie, embraces all about family and (what) the game is all about. A very special opportunity. Our guys are really excited to be there. I’ve seen some of the comments already. Should be a great day for the White Sox.”
Lance Lynn will start the series opener in place of Carlos Rodón, whom the Sox placed on the injured list Wednesday with left shoulder fatigue. La Russa also will miss the game to attend his brother-in-law’s funeral.
The second and third games of the series will be at Guaranteed Rate Field on Saturday and Sunday.
“I love these events,” Hendriks said. “I don’t mind the extra travel and everything like that. This is a fun experience for me. I got to experience the Japan Series in 2019 when I was part of the A’s, and this is just another one to put a feather in the cap and get the chance to experience some things that are a little bit different in this game, break up the monotony of every day.”
Sox third baseman Yoán Moncada said through an interpreter that he has seen the movie and “just having the experience is going to be nice.”
Dwier Brown, who played John Kinsella in the movie, never imagined a scenario like Thursday would ever play out.
“It’s unbelievable,” Brown said during Monday’s conference call. “When you’re making a movie, particularly one like that and you have a role that has five pages in the script, you don’t expect much of anything except hopefully your paycheck. To think that I’m talking to you guys about this with some All-Star players (such as Hendriks) is just amazing, 33 years later. It just keeps giving and giving.”
Brown plans to be in attendance.
“It’s been an amazing thing,” he said. “I was an actor for 40 years, and nobody stops and asks me about the episodes of ‘ER’ I did. But a certain amount of people, they look at me strangely from across the room and come over and tell me some amazing story about how that movie changed their relationship with their dad.
“To me, that’s what I became an actor for, to possibly be in some movies that made a difference in people’s lives. I feel honored to have been a part of it. I’m grateful for my little piece in the whole puzzle.”
Hendriks had fond memories of watching the movie when he was younger.
“I don’t think it matters what the actual genre was about, if it had Kevin Costner, Ray Liotta or James Earl Jones, you were getting it in Australia,” said Hendriks, who was born in Perth, Australia. “I remember watching it as a kid and really didn’t understand baseball, just saw a bunch of ghosts running around and I thought it was kind of cool.”
The temporary ballpark’s bullpens, which will be located behind the 12-foot-high padded wall in center field, are designed to resemble old Comiskey Park.
“It’s been a fun journey since August of 2019 when we broke ground at this site,” said Murray Cook, president of BrightView Sports Turf Division and an MLB consultant who oversaw the building of the playing field. “Clearing the corn just like Ray Kinsella and his daughter did in the tractor.
“This one hits all the heartstrings. It’s really cool.”
Hendriks sees the event as “ good for the game of baseball .”
“I love going to different things,” he said. “I was in Iowa playing in the minor leagues. I’m always interested in doing the games where they have a specific meaning behind it. Something that adds that little character to the game.
“You get the chance to go to a place where you may not have visited. I’m excited about running through the cornfields because who wouldn’t be. There are certain things that resonate with a game like this. This is possibly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to play in one of these games. It’s different and it’s fun.”

It’s not often when an individual suffers a crushing loss at the Supreme Court — a unanimous one, too — only to then recover legal footing in the same case. But Wednesday brought such a development for Rick Allen and his Nautilus Productions. All thanks to the Fifth Amendment. Allen has been in court with North Carolina for years after the state took his footage of an 18th century ship led by the notorious pirate Blackbeard. First, officials in the state’s culture agency posted images of a salvage operation on its website. Later, came video. And then eventually, after the dispute had slipped...

Harmonizer arrives after the longest stretch that Ty Segall has ever gone between albums of original material under his own name: just over two years, or 20 Ty Segall years. Before now, his longest gap preceded 2016’s Emotional Mugger (about 17 months), followed by 2019’s First Taste (about 13). Each of those albums also happened to be among his most bizarre: the former a choppy, devious conceptual escape, the latter a bouzouki- and koto-based experiment that arose from guitar fatigue. For Segall, working within the confines of garage and psych rock makes hairpin lefts a necessity; there’s only so much room in there for a guy who moves as much as he does. “I don’t think I can write songs on the guitar right now because I think I’m tapped out—I’ve hit my maximum guitar style,” he said around the release of First Taste. And when you’ve been as consistently good for as long as he has, it’s a cruel irony that it becomes harder to make something that really stands out. Returning from a relatively long silence with a confounding gesture is one way to try.

According to researchers, Wyoming's Ice Age history is pretty impressive and a few years ago History Channel did a show in 2008 called 'Jurassic Fight Club' to prove it. In Northern Wyoming, deep in the Big Horn Mountains, lies the Natural Trap Cave that has been the final resting spot for MANY animals and creatures...past & present. The massive pit is shaped like a bell, is 85 feet deep with a 12' by 15' opening at the top. It's basically a sinkhole in the middle of the mountain that animals passing by may not see and fall to their death. Laying at the bottom of this large, natural trap, was thousands of years of fossils proving that Wyoming was extremely active with many creatures LARGE and small.

LONDON (Reuters) - A surge in markets that put a price on planet-warming emissions could make technology to capture and sequester carbon dioxide commercially viable after decades of false starts.
A report by the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on Monday made clear the world would face catastrophic consequences if targets to limit climate change are missed.
Some experts say carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology is essential to meeting the goal of a net carbon zero economy by 2050 because behavioural change alone will be insufficient.
But environmental campaigners tend to be wary of CCS on the grounds industry can use it to justify the continued use of fossil fuels.
CCS transports CO2 from where it is emitted and stores it, usually in a geological site, to prevent its release into the atmosphere.
Although the technology has existed for decades, it has yet to be widely deployed because it has been uneconomic - until now.
This year, the cost of producing carbon, which was far too cheap to deter many big emitters, has leapt to record highs.
On the most established carbon market, the European Union’s Emissions Trading System, pollution permits in July reached their highest yet at nearly 60 euros ($70.33) a tonne.
Many analysts say a European carbon price of around 100 euros is within reach by the end of this decade, tipping the balance in favour of CCS.
Another big economy, Canada, also faces a rise in carbon prices after the country’s supreme court in March gave the go-ahead for an increase to C$170 ($135.67) a tonne by 2030, from C$30 now.
OPPORTUNITY FOR SOME
Most roadmaps on how to meet goals set under the Paris Climate agreement to limit a rise in global temperatures to below 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7° Fahrenheit) require a vast scaling up of CCS.
For companies and countries that get it right, the opportunity is huge. The world would need to go from current capacity of capturing 40 million tonnes of CO2 a year to 7.6 billion tonnes a year in 2050 to realise the International Energy Agency’s net zero scenario.

Apart from the increased interest because of rising carbon prices, greater deployment of CCS would lower costs and help to make it profitable because of economies of scale.
“Part of the reason so many people are now talking about CCS is the movement in the carbon price and higher tax costs,” said Syrie Crouch VP of CCS at Shell, which has a target to capture and store 25 million tonnes of CO2 a year by 2035.
Shell is involved in CCS projects in Europe, Canada and Australia.
IEA data finds the cost of capturing CO2, excluding transport and storage, ranges from $15 per tonne at a natural gas processing plant to over $300 a tonne at a direct air capture (DAC) plant, which sucks emissions out of the atmosphere and is the only negative-emission solution.
(Graphic: Levelised cost of CO2 capture by sector and initial CO2 concentration: )
The cost variation depends on factors such as the concentration of CO2 in the gas being captured.
Transport and storage costs also vary depending on what infrastructure exists, how far the CO2 must be transported and the structure used for storage.
Total CCS costs are already starting to be manageable for some emitters, Nick Cooper, CEO of project developer Storegga, said.
Storegga is leading development of the Acorn CCS project in Scotland, which aims to use existing oil and gas infrastructure to store 5-10 million tonnes of CO2 a year by 2030. Its partners are Shell and oil and gas company Harbour Energy.
The majority of existing and developing CCS projects are at power plants or natural gas processing sites, but experts say more projects are needed to put CCS filters on smokestacks for industries such as steel and cement.
(Graphic: Carbon Capture and Storage: )
Large industrials including HeidelbergCement , LafargeHolcim, ArcelorMittal and Nippon Steel are among those considering CCS to meet their climate targets.
“If you are an industry with high emissions, and you aren’t actively planning for how these emissions are going to be avoided or stored in the future, you are running the risk of stranding your assets, and that risk goes up the more that carbon prices go up,” Mark Freshney, energy analyst at Credit Suisse, said.
Chemicals giant Ineos hopes to eventually store around 1 million tonnes of CO2 from its Scottish Grangemouth plant at the Acorn site and in July signed an MoU with Storegga.
“Had it not been for that movement (in carbon prices) we wouldn’t be having this conversation on CCS. It has definitely led to a sea change,” Colin Pritchard, Energy Business Manager at Grangemouth, said.
Ineos is also developing the Greensands CCS project off the coast of Denmark that it hopes could eventually store up to 8 million tonnes of CO2 a year in depleted oil and gas fields.
SUSPICION
The sudden eagerness, especially from oil companies that can use carbon dioxide to increase pressure in old fields to extract more fossil fuel - currently the most common use of CCS - leaves climate campaigners suspicious, even though they grasp the urgency of finding all possible solutions to controlling climate change.
“Putting carbon capture technology on greenhouse-gas emitting facilities enables those facilities to continue operating, effectively providing those emitters with a licence to pollute indefinitely,” a group of over 500 international, U.S., and Canadian organisations said in an open letter to their policymakers in July.
At the same time, some existing projects have struggled with technical problems.
Australia’s A$3.1 billion ($2.3 billion) Gorgon CCS project, a joint venture including Chevron , Shell and ExxonMobil, was designed to store 4 million tonnes a year of CO2 at a liquefied natural gas project.
Since starting injecting CO2 in August 2019, three years later than scheduled, it has injected a total of 5 million tonnes of CO2-equivalent.
“Like anything of this scale there are technical challenges to overcome,” Shell’s Crouch said. Lessons from the project would be shared with the industry and governments and help to progress future projects, she said.
In the longer term, supporters of the technology say it will play an essential role in removing CO2 from the atmosphere, rather than just capturing at source, through methods such as direct air capture or bioenergy, derived from renewable biomass, with carbon capture and storage (BECCs).
British power generator Drax is seeking to develop BECCs at its biomass units, which it said could make it the world’s first negative emissions power plant by 2027.
Drax CEO Will Gardiner told Reuters it would take the company an initial 2 billion pound ($2.8 billion) investment to build the plants capable of removing 8-9 million tonnes of CO2 a year, with the CCS costing around 100 per tonne.
“As carbon prices rise globally, and if we are going to achieve a 1.5 degree pathway, they will have to rise, this will be a very cost effective way of taking CO2 out of the atmosphere,” he said.($1 = 1.3618 Australian dollars)

The epidemic of misinformation surrounding the COVID-19 vaccines has contributed to the tragic loss of life for an untold number of our fellow citizens. This “misinfodemic” spread just as rapidly as the virus. Rumors and incorrect information have convinced far too many to remain unvaccinated. Today, Alabama is the least vaccinated state in the nation. The consequences have been devastating.

In March, I received my second dose of the Pfizer vaccine. I spent most of 2020 being extremely careful, as I was pregnant with our second child after a miscarriage the year before. For that reason alone, I was eager for something that would severely limit the effects of the virus. My pro-vaccine exuberance wasn't shared by all family members or friends, though. Some preferred to wait until more had received it. Others had, or still have, no intention of ever getting the vaccine. In my opinion, these conclusions were and are illogical. As more time passed, I became angry with the type of irritation that one feels when loved ones can make better choices but don't.

Agent with a shield ... Captain Carter in Marvel’s What If ...? Photograph: Marvel
“Based on the Marvel Comics.” They always say that, but What If ...?, the fourth TV series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, is visibly a comic book in moving-picture form. This is the first of the Disney+ spin-offs to be animated, and it glories in the idea of paper pages coming to life, embracing the sharp shadows, rich palette and poppy vim of the publications that started it all. Energetic and flippant, unlike some modern Marvel productions, which tend towards the exhaustingly epic, this is old-school, thwack-pow fun.
The new show’s spryness comes from the premise, which takes advantage of the multiverse set up in the most recent Marvel show, Loki , to explore alternative versions of classic stories. Each half-hour instalment starts with a familiar scene that soon diverges. In the first episode, what starts as a shot-for-shot remake of the scene in the 2011 film Captain America: The First Avenger in which Steve Rogers is injected with super-soldier serum ends with Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) getting the treatment instead. She emerges from the lab with a ripped physique, an indestructible shield and a mission to defeat 1940s totalitarianism and the gender assumptions of the day.
The ensuing adventure is a neatly flipped version of the movie. The romantic subplot remains but it’s Rogers, not Carter, who has to be resourceful, to ensure he is not relegated to the status of a plucky spare part. The retro visuals, meanwhile, are matched by the 20th-century sexism Carter must overcome (“Women aren’t soldiers,” sniffs Bradley Whitford ’s Col Flynn. “They might break a nail”). She does this by repeatedly punching bad guys in the face. The many dust-ups are accentuated by a half-second of slow motion at the end of each shot, like we’re a kid lingering over a particularly juicy panel in a comic.
Captain Carter’s exploits set out the stall for What If ...? as an invigoratingly inconsequential set of adventures. They are big on action and pleasingly refuse to take the Marvel mythology too seriously. In a later episode in which Shield agents are confronted with Thor’s hammer, one observes that “no one can lift it – not even Jackson. And he does cross-fit.” Then Thor shows up and everyone has a good swoon over his beautiful, lavender-scented hair.
In this anything-goes world, What If ...? can also leap from genre to genre. Apart from Captain Carter biffing the Nazis, there is a space heist that imagines T’Challa (in what turned out to be Chadwick Boseman’s final performance as the Black Panther) taking the place of Peter Quill as Star-Lord in a Guardians of the Galaxy reboot. There is also a serial-killer whodunnit, in which the Avengers never assemble because someone keeps murdering them, prompting Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) to turn into a sort of one-eyed Poirot.
That episode features Tom Hiddleston as Loki, giving it the same cheesy ham on British toast he brought to his own series. Generally, the less onerous logistics of a cartoon mean A-listers show up to voice their old characters: Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Toby Jones, Stanley Tucci and Dominic Cooper are present and audible, along with Atwell, Jackson, Whitford and Boseman. Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson and Chris Evans are among those who didn’t make it. An amusingly pompous voiceover by Jeffrey Wright as the all-seeing Watcher – introducing and concluding each story like Rod Serling on The Twilight Zone, but with more of a pan-universal deity vibe – adds another swoosh of starry gloss.
So What If ...? is canon, but not heavy, continuing a run of Marvel TV shows that refuse to repeat themselves. It occupies a very different space to the feverishly imaginative WandaVision , the resolutely vanilla The Falcon and the Winter Soldier or the impishly complex Loki. Viewers who like a bit of superhero gubbins, but who long since gave up on staying across the nuances of the MCU, can approach What If ...? without trepidation. For dedicated Marvel enthusiasts, on the other hand, What If ...? might feel inessential. But the prospect of speculative fan-fiction with a stamp of approval will be hard to resist – especially when it transports them back to the original source of their obsession.

(LEARFIELD) – The Milwaukee Brewers trotted out Aaron Ashby in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs. Ashby who had one previous disastrous start for the Brewers earlier this season turned in two nice innings after being called up from Nashville to start the second game which the Brewers won 6-3.

Ashby pitched two scoreless innings on two hits while striking out one in Game 2 Tuesday against the Cubs. Ashby was great in two innings, much different from his MLB debut where he failed to get out of the first inning. However, a 90-minute rain delay stood in the way of him being able to go deeper into Tuesday night's game. The 23-year-old carries a 4.48 ERA and a 1.38 WHIP with a 14.1 K/9 in 62.1 innings with Triple-A Nashville this season. He is likely first in line to receive future spot-starts if the Brewers need an additional starter.

In the summer of 2016, the value of all crypto in the world was not quite $10 billion. Since then, that number has only increased. Today, anyone can buy crypto with Robinhood, S&P 500 companies have placed bitcoin on their balance sheets, and the overall value of the crypto market remains at more than $1.5 trillion as of writing.

"NFT" or non-fungible tokens seem to be all the rage these days, and many people have been ready to jump on the sub-reality bandwagon. Heck, even Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey sold his first tweet for a cool $2.9 mil, and there have been many other examples of folks purchasing NFTs for exuberant amounts of money and even Bitcoin. But, as we are witnessing the next generation of digital payments unfold, many investors are asking where NFTs fit, and more importantly, could they become the next crypto. For some folks in the industry, this is not some pipe dream, especially since NFTs are currently being used as a mode of payment. Case in point, Zoe Roth or "Disaster Girl" managed to pay off all of her student debt by selling a photo for $500,000.

Shaving is a regular part of many men’s grooming rituals, and using shaving creams is a necessary step if you want to avoid razor burn and keep your skin moisturized. They help soften the hairs before shaving and provide a protective layer between your blade and your skin, reducing the risk of cuts and nicks. When it comes to shaving creams, products offer various scents and textures and are created with different formulas. If you have sensitive skin, you want to purchase a cream that is dermatologically tested and safe to use, or if you want to feel refreshed and smell great, you can buy something with a subtle and masculine scent.

Authorities released the name of one of the two people who died in a two-vehicle collision as 63-year-old James Wagner, of Tacoma, after a suspected speeding driver hit the side of their car in Tacoma on Saturday.
James Wagner died of multiple blunt force injuries, according to the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office. As of now, officers have not identified his 66-year-old wife, who was also killed in the crash.
The fatal incident took place at about 11:30 p.m. in the 7200 block of South Yakima Avenue as Wagner and his wife were heading north on South Yakima in their 2001 Plymouth Neon. Police mentioned that a 21-year-old man in a Nissan ran a red light at South 72nd Street and crashed into the couple’s vehicle, pushing it into a fence.
Both Wagner and his wife succumbed to their injuries at the scene. The driver, who was speeding according to the bystander, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular homicide and vehicular assault. He has not been criminally charged at this time.
An investigation is ongoing.

The story of how Rachel Chudley and her husband Nico Kaufman found their current East London home is about as magical as the space itself. “We were perfectly happy,” says the interior designer about their former Whitechapel flat. “One day we were walking and saw a sign on some battered doors that said ‘workshop for sale.’” The couple wondered how there was even a building back among the rubble, but they crept in to take a look beyond the gates. The plot had been derelict for over 20 years, and what was originally a stable was in ruins, yet Rachel and Nico were intrigued. “We put in our closed bid in an envelope—it was a shot in the dark moment—and we got it,” Rachel says.

This is driven by steady rent collections and favorable interest rates as apartments in the region have performed well during the pandemic. As investors look to buy stable, income-producing assets in Southern California, the focus on the multifamily sector in our region has intensified.

A new report has suggested that Robert Pattinson has walked away with a $3 million pay check for taking on the role of the Caped Crusader in The Batman. Information on the subject comes from a report in Variety about the changing movie industry, where the sudden rise of streaming services has seen some of cinema's biggest stars appearing more on the small screen than the big screen. The report says, "Robert Pattinson picked up $3 million for his turn in The Batman, a grittier take on the comic book icon." It is an interesting statement for a few reasons.

A Chinese court has sentenced Canadian businessman Michael Spavor to 11 years in prison for espionage, more than two years after he was first detained. Spavor, a Beijing-based businessman who regularly traveled to North Korea, was sentenced after being found guilty of spying and illegally providing state secrets to foreign countries, the Dandong Intermediate People’s Court said in a statement Wednesday.

Chinese Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou's fight in a Canadian court against extradition to the United States to face fraud and conspiracy charges wrapped up Wednesday after nearly 1,000 days of legal wranglings and diplomatic brawls. The daughter of company founder and CEO, Ren Zhengfei, is accused of defrauding HSBC Bank by falsely misrepresenting links between Huawei and Skycom, a subsidiary that sold telecoms equipment to Iran. This, according to the US Justice Department, put the bank at risk of violating US sanctions against Tehran, as it continued to clear US dollar transactions for Huawei. Supreme Court of British Columbia Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes said she will on October 21 likely set a date to deliver her ruling.

It was an advertisement for a flower farm this time. There were openings for studio and field assistants and delivery drivers, both full-time and part-time positions. There's always a mental flash when I see a job posting that sounds interesting but is completely out of my wheelhouse: "Wouldn't that be a nice change of pace?" I don't ask, "Is that who I am?"

After the 2020 that we live, it is very comforting to see how, to some extent, the world narrative is changing to words like “recovery”, “reactivation”, among many others that bring with them a dose of hope. Many times we have fallen into the temptation of wishing that things were as before, I understand that, to be able to recover a little from the freedom of being surrounded by many people without worries, to being able to hug that person who, out of care, You haven't gotten closer than five feet to him in a year, going from being able to smile at someone without a mask hiding it. All this has led me to make a series of reflections on whether we really want to go back to how the world was in 2019 or, although we can take advantage of this situation to incorporate a new word into the narrative: “reinvention”.

The typical approach for animated series based on live-action franchises is to hire a bunch of soundalikes who can mimic the voices of the famous big-screen actors. When they made a cartoon of The Mask, for example, voice actor Rob Paulsen did an impression of Jim Carrey as Stanley Ipkiss. For Star Wars: The Clone Wars, James Arnold Taylor replaced Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

The Hollywood award winner has acted in action, comedies, spy thrillers, adventures, and many dramatic movies showing his prowess in the filming industry. For his unforgettable superhero performance, you will pretty much appreciate his surprising cameo featured in Deadpool 2 film released in 2018.

PlayStation fans still can't buy a PS5 anywhere. While the console is selling at a record-breaking pace, it's not been enough to meet demand. Every PS5 restock sells out in within a minute, with very few exceptions. This is not only because demand is through the roof, but because supply is being constrained by a components shortage. Adding to this problem are scalpers, who gobble up huge chunks of restocks with bots able to put in dozens of orders by the time you click "add to cart." What makes all of this all the more painful is according to various reports and industry speculation, this problem isn't going away anytime this year or even next year. That's right, it may be until 2023 before it's easy to buy a PS5.

In November of 2020, New York State was crowned the title of “Rudest State in America” and you know what? When I read that, it broke my heart. New Yorkers have been mislabeled, I think, as being exceptionally rude. I don't think we're as rude as we are in a hurry. In a hurry to get places, in a hurry to finish projects, in a hurry to end conversations so we can move on to the next thing, but certainly not rude. Some would say New Yorkers are blunt and that can be seen as rude, but when there’s something to do or someplace to be, New Yorkers are masters at mincing words to get a move on, and in all fairness, I can see how that could come across as brash.

Governor Tony Evers says Wisconsin farmers are getting another $50 million in federal COVID relief funding. This is the second $50 million in direct payments through the Wisconsin Farm Support Program. The funds will be administered through D-A-T-C-P and the state Department of Revenue, with applications expected to open following the fall harvest. Each recipient received payments of up to $3,500 in 2020. Evers said in statement, “there’s no question Wisconsin farmers are some of the strongest, most resilient folks in the state, but the last year brought on unique and unprecedented challenges—challenges many of them are still grappling with.”

On Aug. 11, 2020, Damian Lillard exploded for 61 points - tying his career high - in a 134-131 win over the Dallas Mavericks. The herculean performance, a couple of days after dropping 51 against the Philadelphia 76ers, helped the Portland Trail Blazers book a spot in the first-ever Play-In Tournament in the Western Conference.

The hiring of Chauncey Billups as the new head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers was not universally embraced. The backlash was immediate, with critics pointing to Billups’ allegedly sordid past. At the same time, the Blazers were thinking of the future. They still have Damian Lillard, one of the best in the NBA in any position. The Blazers’ top brass knew they had to make a change after another early postseason exit when the team was eliminated in the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs. They can’t waste the remaining prime years of Lillard, and with Billups, Portland’s management believes that a big piece to the puzzle has arrived.

The protection of Indigenous Peoples in isolation and initial contact (PIACI) is one of the most complex issues in the human rights and environmental agenda. The implementation of frameworks to protect PIACI involves addressing conflicts by the advance of public and private initiatives and interests in their territories. This article focuses on PIACI Roundtable, a multi-stakeholder forum (MSF) established in Peru’s Loreto region to contribute to protecting these groups. The MSF sought to address the long-standing delays in the creation of five Indigenous Reserves for PIACI in Loreto’s forests. The article argues that MSFs may be fruitful spaces to raise awareness of the rights of vulnerable peoples and coordinate the implementation of supporting actions, but only when participants hold a shared respect for those recognised rights. If not, MSFs may become spaces where powerful actors relegate recognised rights to a perspective among others.

(LEARFIELD) – The Milwaukee Brewers trotted out Aaron Ashby in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Chicago Cubs. Ashby who had one previous disastrous start for the Brewers earlier this season turned in two nice innings after being called up from Nashville to start the second game which the Brewers won 6-3.

The Cubs dropped Game 1 earlier this afternoon, but they’ll try again tonight against left-handed Brewers pitching prospect Aaron Ashby. Tonight’s game will not be Ashby’s big league debut – that actually occurred against the Cubs earlier this year – but it will be his first big league start since then. If you recall, the Cubs managed to knock him out of that outing after he managed to record just 2 outs, thanks to 4 hits, 3 walks, and 7 total runs (4 earned). With that said … there is just one person who was in both lineups and that’s Patrick Wisdom.

OnePlus is set to crash Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked foldables launch tomorrow with the unveiling of its own ‘foldable’ device. The company has taken to its US Twitter account to post a teaser clip of the device. At first it seems like it might be a true foldable that uses a flexible AMOLED display, however it becomes clear that it isn’t. Instead, it is more akin to the Microsoft Surface Duo with dual-displays but joined by a single ribbon or band.

This story was originally published on Aug 10, 2021 and last updated on Aug 11, 2021. Samsung's next Galaxy Unpacked event was just earlier today at 10AM ET, and although endless leaks undercut the anticipation a bit, there's still reason to be excited. We got our first official glimpse of the new Galaxy Z Fold3 and Z Flip3, with plenty of improvements over last year's models. There was some concern that OnePlus would try to one-up Samsung with its own Galaxy-themed teaser, but it turns out that wasn't a problem, the company is just back to dumb and awful marketing, and you can go back to ignoring them.

A clueless seagull has become a hit on social media, after it was caught trying to steal a toy fish from a nautical gift shop on Lake Erie’s Ohio shore.

The typical approach for animated series based on live-action franchises is to hire a bunch of soundalikes who can mimic the voices of the famous big-screen actors. When they made a cartoon of The Mask, for example, voice actor Rob Paulsen did an impression of Jim Carrey as Stanley Ipkiss. For Star Wars: The Clone Wars, James Arnold Taylor replaced Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Brad Pitt may probably have made a wise decision being patient for some time in his career before appearing in superheroes movies and going beyond the ordinary limitations of genre films. The Hollywood award winner has acted in action, comedies, spy thrillers, adventures, and many dramatic movies showing his prowess in the filming industry. For his unforgettable superhero performance, you will pretty much appreciate his surprising cameo featured in Deadpool 2 film released in 2018. While fans are eagerly expecting to see his acts further in more superhero films, Pitt seems uninterested in Marvel projects at the moment. However, according to his active influence, there seems to be nothing to stop the 57-year-old and award-winning performer from featuring in Marvel superheroes movies. Let’s see a set of five Marvel characters perfect for him:

Generally, people consider occasional signs of jealousy in a relationship as harmless because most people don’t like to deal with a threat to their relationship. While signs of jealousy in a relationship are not a big deal initially, it is crucial to look out for extreme jealousy in relationships. You can show your displeasure when your partner prefers to be with other people even when you are around or if they value them more.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Stevie Nicks has canceled five forthcoming performances at music festivals, citing coronavirus concerns, she said in a statement Tuesday. Nicks had been scheduled to headline one day each of BottleRock Napa Valley in California and the Jazz Aspen Festival in Colorado in September. In October, she was to have played two days of the Austin City Limits Music Festival and one day of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

Amid industry-wide apprehension due to the rise of COVID-19’s Delta Variant, Stevie Nicks has announced she will not be making any music festival appearances this year. “These are challenging times with challenging decisions that have to be made,” Nicks wrote via official statement. “I want everyone to be safe and healthy, and the rising COVID cases should be of concern to all of us. While I’m vaccinated, at my age, I am still being extremely cautious and for that reason have decided to skip the five performances I had planned for 2021. Because singing and performing have been my whole life, my primary goal is to keep healthy so I can continue singing for the next decade or longer. I’m devastated and I know the fans are disappointed, but we will look toward a brighter 2022.” — Nicks was slated to perform at Austin City Limits, Jazz Aspen Festival, and BottleRock Napa Valley, as well as the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, which wascanceled earlier this week.

The next-generation Mercedes-Benz G-Class 4x4 Squared has been long in the making. We saw the first signs of the German company working on a hardcore version of the G almost a year ago, and today we have a new batch of spy photos. These shots come straight from our photographers near the Nurburgring, where Mercedes has a test center.

People have been saying for years that the Ford GT should've had a V8. Well, it soon might. Ford hasn't shown us the full potential of its GT supercar, that much we know for sure. We might finally know what exactly that means, as a Ford GT prototype has apparently been spotted testing for the first time in several years. It has some funny stuff going on out back where its engine is, and makes a noise described y Ford Authority as "very different." All the evidence points to one thing: Ford's about to send the GT out with a big, possibly twin-turbo V8 bang.

Wednesday's US economic docket highlights the release of the critical US consumer inflation figures for July, scheduled later during the early North American session at 12:30 GMT. The headline CPI is expected to decelerate to 0.5% during the reported month from the 0.9% increase recorded in June. The yearly rate is also anticipated to have edged lower to 5.3% in July from 5.4% previous, which was the biggest monthly gain since August 2008. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy prices, is projected to rise 4.3% in July from a year ago against the 4.5% jump in the previous month – the fastest pace of increase since September 1991.

Maybe the Seattle Mariners have lost their mojo. The clutch hit or diving catch that allowed them to accumulate a major-league-leading 23-8 record in one-run games appears to be gone. They've lost their past six games in such situations, including 5-4 in 10 innings Tuesday to the Texas Rangers. Before...

No Seattle Mariners fan in their right mind would consider us a “lucky” or “blessed” fanbase. Despite that, we have had many things to be thankful for as fans, even during this prolonged postseason drought. I would argue that many folks have, at one time or another, taken Kyle Seager for granted as the everyday third baseman. I definitely have at times. Sometimes when a reliably productive player’s name is written in pen on the scorecard for so many seasons in a row, you tend to shift your focus onto all other deficits in the lineup when the team isn’t playing well. But, through the ups and downs of the last 10 seasons, Kyle Seager has been holding down the hot corner and reliably posting good-to-excellent fWAR totals, with an average of 3.4 fWAR over those 10 seasons and career-highs of 5.2 fWAR in 2014 and 2016.

From the paper-tigers-asked-to-convert-allegations-to-USD dept. The failed insurrection may be over -- all but the Capitol cops ending their own lives after being assaulted by "law and order" types, who thought they could bypass the peaceful transfer of power with violence. (Fuck all those people, by the way -- all 500+ of them.) But the hope remains. It must have been stolen, say a collection of denialists and grifters. Let's win back the election process, say those unable to count votes or put their faith in the institution that put their boy in the White House in the first place (looking at you, Electoral College).

The strange case of a mysterious hole discovered in a Soyuz capsule attached to the International Space Station back in 2018 has taken a troubling turn as an official with the Russian space agency now says that the damage was intentionally caused by an American astronaut. The bold accusation reportedly came by way of an article from the Russian news agency TASS. In the piece, an anonymous "high ranking" official with the Russian space agency put forward a rather elaborate scenario for how the curious hole, which measured approximately 2 millimeters in diameter, in the Soyuz capsule came to be and pointed the finger at American astronaut Serena Auñón-Chancello as the alleged culprit.

Justyn Campbell-White, Aurora Sicilia-Aguilar, Carlo F. Manara, Soko Matsumura, Min Fang, Antonio Frasca, Veronica Roccatagliata. We introduce the STAR-MELT Python package that we developed to facilitate the analysis of time-resolved emission line spectroscopy of young stellar objects. STAR-MELT automatically extracts, identifies and fits emission lines. We summarise our analysis methods that utilises the time domain of high-resolution stellar spectra to investigate variability in the line profiles and corresponding emitting regions. This allows us to probe the innermost disc and accretion structures of YSOs. Local temperatures and densities can be determined using Boltzmann statistics, the Saha equation, and the Sobolev large velocity gradient approximation. STAR-MELT allows for new results to be obtained from archival data, as well as facilitating timely analysis of new data as it is obtained. We present the results of applying STAR-MELT to three YSOs, using spectra from UVES, XSHOOTER, FEROS, HARPS, and ESPaDOnS. We demonstrate what can be achieved for data with disparate time sampling, for stars with different inclinations and variability types. For EX Lupi, we confirm the presence of a localised and stable stellar-surface hot spot associated with the footprint of the accretion column. For GQ Lupi A, we find that the maximum infall rate from an accretion column is correlated with lines produced in the lowest temperatures. For CVSO109 we investigate the rapid temporal variability of a redshifted emission wing, indicative of rotating and infalling material in the inner disc. Our results show that STAR-MELT is a useful tool for such analysis, as well as other applications for emission lines.

Rory McIlroy was once considered as some sort of the golden boy of golf. That was way back in the early portions of his professional career. Now at age 32, the Northern Irishman is no longer the youngster with a bright future. Instead, he’s now an accomplished pro with still so much ahead of him — plus he can still pass as a 20-something. As of this writing, McIlroy remains in pursuit of the elusive career grand slam. Only five men in the history of the sport have won the Masters Tournament, the PGA Championship, The Open Championship, and The US Open (the modern version of the slam) and McIlroy could join that club consisting of Jak Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, and Gene Sarazen if could take home a Green Jacket. Whether he gets that Masters Tournament win or not before his career is over what is more, important for McIlroy is that he’s got a lovely life with him for the rest of his life. Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you Rory McIlroy’s wife, Erica Stoll.

High quality, organic materials. Not enough support and temperature control for the steep price point. I’ve heard a lot about Avocado, the L.A.-based company on a mission to make the bedding business more sustainable: If you’ve not in the know, it’s a certified Climate Neutral B-Corp with a laundry list of environmental accolades to its name. As someone who cares deeply about reducing my carbon footprint, I’ve wanted to try one of the brand’s mattresses for a while, and jumped at the opportunity to review one. The brand’s Green Mattress appealed to me in particular for a couple feel-good reasons. First, it bills itself as an eco-conscious mattress that sources its products from organic-certified latex, wool, and cotton. It’s also the overwhelming top choice for organic mattresses among review sites like Sleepopolis, CNET, Sleep Foundation, and more.

As we’re opening our Thrive Global office in Dublin today I’ve been reading more about Ireland’s new code of conduct for businesses with the very-of-the-moment title, “Right to Disconnect.” While it’s not a law, it’s a set of guidelines and best practices issued by the country’s Workplace Relations Commission to “assist employers and employees in navigating an increasingly digital and changed working landscape which often involves remote and flexible working.” The new code has three essential provisions: the right of employees not to routinely work outside normal business hours, the right to not be penalized for not working outside those hours, and the duty of employees to respect their coworkers’ right to disconnect.

Nottingham Forest defender Gaetan Bong has admitted a violent conduct charge (Mike Egerton/PA) (PA Wire)
Nottingham Forest defender Gaetan Bong has been suspended for three games after admitting a Football Association charge of violent conduct.
Bong was charged after a coming together with Coventry midfielder Callum O’Hare which was not spotted by referee James Linington or his assistants during Sunday’s 2-1 Sky Bet Championship defeat at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
An FA spokesperson said: “Gaetan Bong will be suspended for Nottingham Forest FC’s next three matches following a breach of FA Rule E1.1.
“The defender’s behaviour during the 45th minute of their EFL Championship game against Coventry City FC on Sunday (08/08/21) was not seen by the match officials at the time, but it was caught on camera.
“Gaetan Bong subsequently admitted that this behaviour constitutes violent conduct and he accepted the standard penalty.”
As a result, Bong will miss Wednesday night’s Carabao Cup first-round clash with Sky Bet League Two Bradford and league fixtures against Bournemouth and Blackburn.

The protection of Indigenous Peoples in isolation and initial contact (PIACI) is one of the most complex issues in the human rights and environmental agenda. The implementation of frameworks to protect PIACI involves addressing conflicts by the advance of public and private initiatives and interests in their territories. This article focuses on PIACI Roundtable, a multi-stakeholder forum (MSF) established in Peru’s Loreto region to contribute to protecting these groups. The MSF sought to address the long-standing delays in the creation of five Indigenous Reserves for PIACI in Loreto’s forests. The article argues that MSFs may be fruitful spaces to raise awareness of the rights of vulnerable peoples and coordinate the implementation of supporting actions, but only when participants hold a shared respect for those recognised rights. If not, MSFs may become spaces where powerful actors relegate recognised rights to a perspective among others.

Doctors also said that poor nutrition and the use of steroids are some of the possible reasons behind the formation of the pus in the patients’ liver, according to news agency PTI. Meanwhile, Myanmar's military has been accused of arresting several doctors who were treating Covid-19 patients over their support for the anti-junta protests. Doctors and media reports said at least nine doctors, who volunteered to provide tele-medicine services, have been detained by the military, according to Reuters. This comes even as Myanmar registered 6,000 new infections on Thursday.

Custom 5G drone to fly at DRL and T-Mobile events, lifting off this week in Dyersville, Iowa. As part of a broad-reaching partnership to advance 5G-powered drone technology, T-Mobile (TMUS), America’s 5G leader, and The Drone Racing League (DRL), the global, professional drone racing property, launched their first 5G-enabled drone. This is one of the first racing drones in the world to have an embedded 5G module capable of live streaming video directly to the Internet. The drone will bring sports fans closer to the action than ever, streaming high-definition, immersive First Person View (FPV) race footage to broadcasters via T-Mobile’s 5G wireless network, America’s largest, fastest and most reliable.

Today more Americans than ever before rely on their home internet for work, access to education and the ability to connect with family and friends. Jon Freier, executive vice president T-Mobile consumer groups says, the sad reality is that access to broadband remains extremely limited in the United States especially in smaller markets and rural areas which is the backbone of this country, and these communities have been underserved for decades. They recently launched a new service, a new product called T-Mobile Home Internet. He says the T-Mobile home internet service uses the same exact 5G network that our smart phones work off of. It works like any other broadband service but instead of connecting through a cable in your home, it connects wirelessly through a modem and it is known as fixed wireless internet. He says it is bringing a new option to millions of Americans who previously haven’t had a choice for reliable or even affordable home internet and with fixed wireless, there is no need for wiring or installation, and it is simple. Jon says there is a dedicated team that you can call if you have any questions, it’s incredibly fast, it can support multiple devices throughout the entire family. You can stream your favorite movie, take Zoom calls from the remote office and even your kids can do their homework online and they can all do it at the same time.

A recent Federal Study shows a large number of white-tailed deer in Michigan have or had Covid-19. What does this mean for Michigan residents?. The Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, performed an over year long study. In this study they tested hundreds of deer in Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and Michigan for Covid antibodies according to Fox 2 Detroit,

Ron Rademacher combs the Michigan Back Roads looking for oddities and awesome things you’ll never forget. One of those might be the sight of the Monarch Butterflies convening to their annual trip south. Ron was on WBCK’s Morning Show recently and told us that back in the 1950s & 60s, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, regularly received reports of strange twisting clouds, drifting through the sky, high above Lake Michigan. These reports always came in during the autumn season, usually from folks on color tours, around the Leelanau peninsula. The DNR generally dismissed the reports as having no validity. “Perhaps a little too much cherry wine was being consumed”, joked Rademacher.

The Las Vegas Raiders are adding a quarterback to their roster.
Case Cookus joins the Silver and Black after originally signing with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent following the 2020 NFL Draft. He spent the entire offseason with the Giants.
During this year’s past offseason, Cookus has made pit stops with the Denver Broncos and Minnesota Vikings.
Cookus is yet to see any action in an NFL game.
Prior to his arrival to the NFL, Cookus played from 2015-19, at Northern Arizona, appearing in a total of 41 games. Cookus booked just over 12,000 passing yards, completed just over 62 percent of his passes and had a total of 105 touchdowns with 21 interceptions.
In a corresponding move, the Raiders waived-injured wide receiver Trey Quinn.
We’ll see if Cookus can find his purpose on the Silver and Black depth chart this season.

It was a time earlier this summer that the Supernatural family would rather forget. Back in June, the series stars Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki had a bit of a dust-up over some surprising news when it was revealed that Ackles, his wife & recurring SPN guest star Danneel Ackles, and former co-executive producer Robbie Thompson were developing the prequel spinoff The Winchesters. Padalecki felt he was kept out of the loop, feelings were hurt, some harsh things were said/tweeted in the heat of the moment- you know how it goes with family. Not long after, Padalecki let everyone know that he and Ackles had spoken and "things are good." In the tweet, he wrote, "[Jensen Ackles] and I had a great talk, as we do often, and things are good. The show is early in the process with miles to go. We've travelled a lot of roads together, and sometimes those damn roads have bumps. Bumps don't stop us. Once brothers, always brothers." Here's a look at a screencap followed by a look at his tweet:

I don’t say that to be cliché. I don’t say that to give you a false sense of encouragement. I say that to be honest. I say that to be real. The past few days, I’ve been following Taylor Swift’s album re-recordings, and it’s encouraged me to think about the nature of stories. I first listened to “Fearless” in elementary school, and I understood her story then—or at least, a part of it. As I revisit her work over a decade later, I still understand her story, but I understand it differently. I’ve grown. Some of the lyrics have become a little more real for me. Some have completely changed meaning. Others have remained the same.

Anyone waiting to see how an offseason of healthy eating has treated Ben Roethlisberger‘s performance in games will have to wait at least one more week. The Steelers only played their backup quarterbacks during their first preseason game out of the way against the Cowboys last Thursday and they’ll be taking the same approach to this Thursday’s game against the Eagles. Mason Rudolph will get his second straight start with Dwayne Haskins set to relieve him after a few series.

Rod Woodson knows a thing or two about being doubted. The first NFL player to return the same season after undergoing major knee surgery, Woodson was selected to his seventh Pro Bowl in 1996, his first full season back from his injury. Many, however, thought Woodson's better days were behind him at age 31. The Steelers may not have been in that camp, but they didn't necessarily go to great lengths to keep the former Defensive Player of the Year that ensuing offseason. That's why, after 10 glittering years with the Steelers, Woodson left Pittsburgh motivated to prove he still had it.

Just when it seemed like the summer movie season was winding down, here comes Scarlett Johansson to stir it up again. The actress made headlines this week when she filed a major lawsuit against Disney alleging that the studio’s decision to release “Black Widow” on Disney+ the same day it hit theaters impacted its box office revenue, which cost her millions of dollars. Johansson’s specific deal with the studio is part of an old-world model facing serious pushback from the streaming era, where the absence or marginalization of box office revenue has yielded very different kinds of deals. There are very few movie stars with the stature of an Avenger who could lobby a case against Disney, but that itself is a distinctive aspect of this story: With IP driving the future of franchises more than famous faces, how can movie stars retain their currency?

BERLIN (AP) — Fans are back but the fundamental question remains the same as the Bundesliga season begins Friday.
Who can stop Bayern Munich?
The Bavarian powerhouse has won an unprecedented nine consecutive German league titles and looks likely to complete a decade of domination.
“The chase is on. The team knows that the others have no great interest in seeing us at the top for the 10th time in a row. They’ll do all they can to get us down,” said Bayern chairman Oliver Kahn, who does not expect the challengers to be successful.
“If we deliver on our potential, we’ll be champions again,” Kahn said. “The team has shown than it’s always capable of surpassing itself.”
Last season’s closest rival, Leipzig, finished 13 points behind Bayern last season, while Borussia Dortmund was 13 points adrift the season before that. It’s hard to see either team maintaining a season-long challenge again, while the likes of Borussia Mönchengladbach, Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt and Wolfsburg will have to address their own inconsistencies before they can break into the top three. All the teams have new coaches in charge.
Supporters are also a novelty as limited numbers are allowed back in stadiums after a season in which they were largely excluded due to the coronavirus pandemic. The opening weekend will be uncharacteristically loud as up to 25,000 spectators are permitted in some stadiums. Smaller stadiums can have up to 50% capacity.
Germany’s rate of new COVID-19 infections — which has been picking up again in recent weeks — will determine spectator numbers as the season continues.
Cologne has already tightened its rules. Fans with at least a negative test result can attend its season-opening game against Hertha Berlin on Sunday, but for future games only fully vaccinated fans or those who have recovered from COVID-19 can attend.
Bayern starts its record-extending title bid at Mönchengladbach on Friday. The defending champions have a new coach in Julian Nagelsmann, poached from Leipzig to replace Hansi Flick, who cut short his tenure to take over the Germany national team.
The 34-year-old Nagelsmann enjoyed great success with Hoffenheim before confirming his credentials at Leipzig, which he led to the Champions League semifinals in his first season, then a German Cup final and second place in the Bundesliga is his next.
French defender Dayot Upamecano also moved from Leipzig to Bayern after the team met the 22-year-old’s buyout clause of 42.5 million euros ($50 million).
Bayern also signed English defender Omar Richards on a free transfer from second-division Reading, but otherwise it’s been a quiet summer of activity for the league’s richest club.
David Alaba, Douglas Costa, Javi Martínez and Jérôme Boateng have all left the club, while other players including goalkeeper Alexander Nübel have been farmed out on loan.
Kahn said the pandemic was having an adverse effect on the club’s finances.
American coach Jesse Marsch has replaced Nagelsmann at Leipzig, arriving from sister club Red Bull Salzburg and continuing the path of transfers between the clubs backed by the energy drinks manufacturer.
Marsch looks to benefit from familiar face Dominik Szoboszlai’s return to fitness as the Hungarian striker scored on his injury-delayed debut in a 4-0 win at Sandhausen in the German Cup on Saturday. Szoboszlai joined from Salzburg in January.
Leipzig also signed Portugal striker André Silva from Bundesliga rival Frankfurt, meaning goals should not be a problem for Marsch’s team.
Dortmund also has a new face in charge in former Mönchengladbach coach Marco Rose, who will have to do without English star Jadon Sancho, who joined Manchester United in the offseason.
But Dortmund still has Erling Haaland and will do all it can to keep the strong Norwegian striker for at least another year. Haaland started the season with a hat trick in the German Cup on Saturday.
Traditional heavyweights Werder Bremen and Schalke were relegated last season, reducing the number of big names competing in the top division. Promoted Bochum and Greuther Fürth will hope to make the most of their time in the spotlight.

Last night via CBS Sports, this little tidbit blew up, re: Deshaun Watson trade rumors. It’s no secret that Watson is unhappy in Houston. After enduring more sacks than any NFL quarterback the last five years, why wouldn’t he be? The Texans and their genius coaching and managerial staff (Oh, wait. Sorry. That was the same guy last season) did not prioritize offensive line personnel or efficient playcalling (and thus his health) for the first five years of his career. But, after there was a change in coaches last season, and Watson was freed from Houston’s overreliance on slow-developing play-action plays, for the first time in his career Watson left games with as clean a jersey as he was apt to get — overall Watson took 12 sacks in 11 games down the stretch, and had a 7.6% sack rate for the season (which was still far above league average).

Rory McIlroy was once considered as some sort of the golden boy of golf. That was way back in the early portions of his professional career. Now at age 32, the Northern Irishman is no longer the youngster with a bright future. Instead, he’s now an accomplished pro with still so much ahead of him — plus he can still pass as a 20-something. As of this writing, McIlroy remains in pursuit of the elusive career grand slam. Only five men in the history of the sport have won the Masters Tournament, the PGA Championship, The Open Championship, and The US Open (the modern version of the slam) and McIlroy could join that club consisting of Jak Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, and Gene Sarazen if could take home a Green Jacket. Whether he gets that Masters Tournament win or not before his career is over what is more, important for McIlroy is that he’s got a lovely life with him for the rest of his life. Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you Rory McIlroy’s wife, Erica Stoll.

[1] Lawmakers, 4H families calling on governor to drop state fair vaccine mandate for kids – With only 21 days until the New Mexico State Fair, some are saying it’s too short of a notice to get vaccinated in time. Earlier this week, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham ordered that people need to be vaccinated to get in. Some are pointing out that teens only have access to Pfizer which requires two doses a minimum of three weeks apart, plus two weeks for it to fully take effect. Families with children competing in 4H are concerned that those under 12-years-old are safe to compete but anyone over 12 will be left out if they aren’t vaccinated. Some state lawmakers and 4H families are calling on the governor to drop the mandate for the kids. The governor says the mandate is to ensure the safety of all fairgoers, especially children.

Kentucky Fried Chicken may have been known for its buckets of fried chicken ever since opening its first franchise location in 1952. But since it began selling pot pies in 1995 (via the Los Angeles Times), they have arguably become just as much of a staple on the menu. Originally introduced as a limited edition item in a select part of the country, KFC's pot pies didn't sound destined to take off all that significantly (via Fast Food Menu Prices). However, the fast food chain decided to officially add them to its regular menu. In 2012, HuffPost reported that pot pies were made available in all the KFC locations across the U.S. Since then, they have become one of KFC's most popular items.

Much is said about walking the road less travelled. There’s joy in the unexpected and the unravelling of, well, who knows what. Just over a year ago, I left my London life for rural Wales. I saw it as not a desirable but a necessary pause in what had become a turbulent life. The previous six years had been full of turmoil, death, subsequent grief and estrangement. Before my big move, I ran away for a month to New York, to spend time on my own. I spent the days writing and watching a blur of people rotate in the world as I tried to find my place in it. I had become deeply sad.

The pandemic has made people buy more things online. But this might be a sign you have a problem. There are a few videos going viral, which show a MASSIVE Amazon delivery in Florida. There are maybe a hundred or more boxes, and the delivery guys have them stacked as high as the house.

Even though I love being active, the list of things I would rather do than actually go to the gym is pretty lengthy and even includes deep cleaning every bathroom in my house (my brother’s bathroom not included). It can be a hassle trying to plan your day around finding the time to actually drive to the gym for a workout, and on top of that, you have to pray that it’s not too crowded in the morning before work (and it usually is). Then there’s waiting in line for the stair master when you could’ve been done with your workout 30 minutes ago. And we won’t even get into the uber-macho gym buffs who act like they own the place.

During a fight or times of high stress in a relationship, it’s normal to have reactive thoughts about divorce or separation. But if those feelings persist and unresolved issues, tension, anger and frustration continue during calmer moments of reflection, it may be time to do some research and begin having exploratory conversations—with yourself, a lawyer, financial advisor, therapist and finally, your spouse—to help navigate the situation and figure out what’s right for you.

Care and Feeding is Slate’s parenting advice column. Have a question for Care and Feeding? Submit it here or post it in the Slate Parenting Facebook group. I have been married for 28 years to an easygoing guy. His family lives a good eight hours away. I am happy to have them come visit but have asked over and over again that they schedule their visits with us when we can make sure we have time to spend with them, but they always end up calling my husband and telling him when they are coming. We usually get only a few days or a week’s notice. My husband is a firefighter and owns his own business as well, so unless he’s able to plan ahead, I am stuck entertaining, cooking, and cleaning for them. I have asked my husband to talk to me before he agrees to these visits, but he makes me feel like I am being unreasonable or mean to want to have a better plan in place. I’m just frustrated and don’t know how to get him to stand up for me for once and ask them to stay in a hotel unless they plan their visits for when he is also available. Am I asking too much? Also, some of the family members are extremely rude, sexist, and racially insensitive while at our house to the point where my college-age daughter, who still lives with us, won’t stay at home if they come. How can I get my husband to understand that he needs to set some boundaries and parameters of guest behavior with them?

The resignation of Gov. Andrew Cuomo signals a historical change in New York as Lt. Gov. Kathy Holchul prepares to become the state’s highest elected official. With the pandemic, the economy and the state budget to focus on, lawmakers say new leadership is needed. On social media, Holchul announced she’s ready to take the reins of state government.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — State politics has long been criticized for the way decisions are made in Albany. But as CBS2’s Lisa Rozner reported Tuesday, that’s about to be turned on its head. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who resigned Tuesday effective in two weeks due to a sexual harassment scandal, leaves behind a legislative legacy that has been criticized for years, the so-called “three men in a room” process where the governor and two legislative leaders negotiate state business behind closed doors. PHOTOS: Andrew Cuomo Through The Years For instance, in 2013, Cuomo was alongside now two disgraced former lawmakers — ex-Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver...

Julian Assange is not ‘so ill’ that he would be unable to resist suicide if he was extradited to the US, the High Court has been told (Dominic Lipinski/PA) (PA Wire)
Julian Assange is not “so ill” that he would be unable to resist killing himself if he was extradited to the United States, the High Court has heard.
The US government is appealing against a decision in January not to extradite the WikiLeaks founder to face espionage charges.
Assange, 50, is wanted in America on allegations of a conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information following WikiLeaks’ publication of hundreds of thousands of leaked documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
However, after a multi-week extradition hearing last year, District Judge Vanessa Baraitser ruled that Assange should not be sent to the US, citing a real risk of suicide.
The US government was previously allowed to appeal against her decision on certain grounds, which Assange’s legal team described as “narrow” and “technical”.
On Wednesday, the US made a bid at the High Court to expand the basis that can be used for its main appeal against the district judge’s decision.
Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn joined supporters of Julian Assange outside the High Court on Wednesday (Dominic Lipinski/PA) (PA Wire)
Dozens of Assange supporters, including his partner Stella Moris, gathered outside the Royal Courts of Justice ahead of the hearing, chanting and waving signs.
Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was also seen outside the central London building, telling supporters that the US government should “wind their necks in” and allow Assange to go free.
Assange appeared at the hearing via video-link from Belmarsh Prison, wearing a dark face covering and a white shirt, with what appeared to be an untied burgundy tie draped around his neck.
In her ruling, Judge Baraitser found that “the procedures described by the US will not prevent Mr Assange from finding a way to commit suicide” if he was extradited.
Clair Dobbin QC, for the US, argued there is a “need for anxious scrutiny” of Assange’s reported mental health.
The barrister said part of the US government’s appeal will focus on the requirement in law that an individual must be “so ill” that they are unable to resist suicide for a decision to be taken not to prosecute – or in Assange’s case, extradite – them.
She told the court: “It really requires a mental illness of a type that the ability to resist suicide has been lost.
“Part of the appeal will be that Mr Assange did not have a mental illness that came close to being of that nature and degree.”
In the US government’s written argument, she continued: “He has not made the sort of serious attempt on his life or have the history of serious self-harm seen in other cases.
“He has never previously suffered from the sort of mental health condition that deprived him of the ability to make rational choices.”
Ms Dobbin also told the court that the need for scrutiny is “substantially increased” given the background – including the “extraordinary lengths” Assange has already gone to in order to avoid extradition.
“He was willing to break the law and no cost was too great, both in terms of the cost of policing his being in the embassy and of course the cost to himself,” she said.
Supporters of the WikiLeaks founder gathered outside the High Court in London ahead of the hearing (Dominic Lipinski/PA) (PA Wire)
In the US government’s written case, Ms Dobbin said that £16 million of taxpayers’ money had been spent to “ensure that, when Mr Assange did leave the embassy, he was brought to justice”.
The US authorities have also claimed that evidence from Assange’s psychiatric expert, Professor Michael Kopelman, should have been dismissed or had less weight attributed to it.
Ms Dobbin argued that the expert misled Judge Baraitser during the original extradition proceedings by “concealing” the fact that Assange had fathered two children during his time in the embassy until March 2020, when he “chose to deploy that information in support of his bail application”.
In her ruling, Judge Baraitser also said there was a “real risk” Assange would be locked up at the Administrative Maximum Facility (ADX) in Florence, Colorado, if convicted, which would lead to his mental health deteriorating.
However, the US has said it would consent to Assange being transferred to Australia to serve any prison sentence he may be given.
Edward Fitzgerald QC, representing Assange, told the court that Judge Baraitser, having heard all of the evidence in the case, was in the best position to assess it and reach her decision.
He said Professor Kopelman’s report, in which he did not reveal the true nature of Assange’s relationship with Ms Moris, was given long before any court hearing and against a background of concern for the “human predicament” in which Ms Moris found herself at the time.
The barrister said this included fears for her safety and that of the couple’s two children, after a surveillance organisation had taken DNA from their baby’s nappy, then turned its attention to Ms Moris and plotted to kidnap or poison Assange.
Mr Fitzgerald said: “The district judge was right to find that she had not in fact been misled, and that it was an understandable response to Ms Moris’s predicament.
“The court had become aware of the true position in April 2020.”
Lord Justice Holroyde and Mrs Justice Farbey will give their judgment on Wednesday afternoon.

There was a time when I repeatedly woke in the middle of the night freaking out about climate change. I wasn’t yet breathing in the unhealthy air from California’s wildfires as I have this summer. But I was deeply worried about how the future of climate change would affect my children’s lives. I also felt broken-heartened about the threat it posed to millions of young people, generations to come, and the natural world that I love so much.

More people are realizing that climate change will affect them personally, not just people they don’t know who live far away (“Climate disasters mount; so, too, our anxiety,” Page A1, Aug. 2). The Yale Program on Climate Change Communication reveals 10 percent of Americans are dismissive of climate change, 54 percent are concerned or alarmed. Let’s not pivot from obliviousness (it won’t affect me) to helplessness (it feels like an individual has no agency.) Humankind is the one factor in the climate crisis that does have agency. We know the cause: uncontrolled dumping of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. We know the solution: rapidly reduce emissions, which is achievable with technologies and policies that exist today. New solutions are being developed daily. In just one day’s paper, we see “cool paving” to reduce heat islands (“Solutions to extreme heat can be found in our streets,” Opinion, Aug. 3) and a floating wetland in the Charles (“Floating wetland helps battle ‘dirty water stigma,’” Metro). The government can increase incentives to switch to nonpolluting technologies and establish disincentives (carbon pricing) that will reduce fossil fuel consumption. So, please, let’s drop the doom. Let’s approach climate realistically, as a huge challenge, but one that we can and must meet. Action is the antidote to despair.

CHICAGO (CBS) — A woman was begging for her attackers to stop, but they just kept swinging – punching her in the face. Days after the Chicago woman was thrown to the ground by a group of teen assailants downtown, she talked only to CBS 2’s Jermont Terry. The woman and her boyfriend were on their way to the Chicago Transit Authority Red Line subway at State Street and Jackson Boulevard Saturday night. They were waiting for the elevator at ground level to go down to the platform. But they never made it. Instead, trouble found them, surrounded them, and attacked them. “I was...

Bungie has always had a really weird grip on PVP for Destiny. It never became a big competitive game, and they kind of sidled into crafting a casual experience that ran in tandem with the main event: PVE (the one they heavily focus on by catering to streamers and making all sorts of unique events/rewards for). But they’re always trying to change it (to the chagrin or delight of the fanbase, at any given moment), and that includes a new potential revamp. This is the gist: Bungie has a “plan” for Destiny 2 PVP and it’s “going to take some time.”

Dow futures slumped Thursday, a day after minutes from July's Federal Reserve meeting indicated that the central bank will start to tap the brakes on the policy it has used to juice up the economy and financial markets. Futures contracts tied to the bluechip index tumbled more than 350 points following news that Fed officials think they can start cutting monthly bond purchases by the end of the year. The market also confronted fears that the economy is starting to slow. Goldman Sachs sharply cut its view on third-quarter GDP, reducing its growth expectations to 5.5% from 9%. Investors will be watching the latest reading on weekly jobless claims as well as manufacturing activity in the Philadelphia region.

CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. — A Punta Gorda man died and four others were injured in a crash on US 41 near Olean Boulevard on Tuesday evening, officials said.
Troopers with the Florida Highway Patrol responded to the deadly crash around 5:20 p.m.
A 62-year-old Punta Gorda woman driving an SUV was heading south in the outside left turn lane of US 41 with a 78-year-old man and a 53-year-old woman, also from Punta Gorda.
As they were headed towards Olean Boulevard, the SUV driver turned left at a red light and drove into the path of a 36-year-old Port Charlotte woman in a van that was headed north on US 41. The front of the van slammed into the right side of the SUV, troopers said.
The 78-year-old passenger of the SUV was taken to Fawcett Memorial Hospital where he was later pronounced dead, troopers said.
Everyone involved in the crash, including a 7-year-old passenger in the van, suffered minor injuries.

Chicago White Sox reliever Liam Hendriks has a checklist for the team’s trip to Dyersville, Iowa, for Thursday’s “Field of Dreams” game against the New York Yankees. “I want to do my own Shoeless Joe kind of feeling, walk through the corn to the actual field,” Hendriks said during a conference call Monday. “There’s a 100% chance I’m going to get lost in the (corn) maze (next to field). I may need to have a flare gun in case I get lost and I need to start pitching.”

Heuer pitched two perfect innings of relief with two strikeouts to earn the save in Tuesday's win over the Reds. Heuer had to do a little extra work to secure his first save in a Cubs uniform and second in the majors after logging one last year. Since coming over from the crosstown White Sox before the trade deadline, the righty has posted an impressive 1.80 ERA across 10 innings of work with six strikeouts. The 25-year-old Heuer could see more save opportunities for the rebuilding Cubs down the stretch as the team takes stock of young players heading into next season.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. consumer price increases slowed in July but inflation overall remained historically high amid continued supply-chain disruptions and stronger demand for travel-related services as economic activity rebounded.

(Adds strategist quotes and details throughout, updates prices) * Canadian dollar weakens 1.2% against the greenback * Touches its weakest level since Feb. 5 at 1.2832 * Price of U.S. oil settles 2.7% lower * Canadian bond yields ease across a flatter curve By Fergal Smith TORONTO, Aug 19 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar fell on Thursday for a fourth day against its broadly stronger U.S. counterpart, as investors worried that global economic growth could slow and that the Federal Reserve was prepared to reduce stimulus. Stocks globally stumbled, bond yields fell and the safe-haven U.S. dollar notched a nine-month peak. Oil , one of Canada's major exports, dropped to its lowest since May, settling 2.7% lower at $63.69 a barrel. "A perfect little risk-off storm" has weighed on the loonie, Erik Bregar, head of FX strategy at the Exchange Bank of Canada, said in a note. "We think a new uptrend has firmly begun for USD-CAD and we therefore expect buyers (of U.S. dollars) on the dips." Investors worry that circulation of the Delta variant of the coronavirus could slow global economic recovery. In addition, the release on Wednesday of minutes from the Federal Reserve's July policy meeting showed officials felt the employment benchmark for decreasing support for the economy "could be reached this year." The Canadian dollar was trading 1.2% lower at 1.2820 to the greenback, or 78.00 U.S. cents, giving up all of this year's gains and extending a string of declines since the start of the week. It touched its weakest intraday level since Feb. 5 at 1.2832. Still, Canadian data for July showed home prices climbing at a record annual pace and the reopening of the economy giving payroll jobs a boost. Canada's retail sales report for June is due on Friday, which could offer further clues on the strength of domestic activity. Canadian government bond yields were lower across a flatter curve, tracking the move in U.S. Treasuries. The 10-year fell 2.8 basis points to 1.127%.

North Korea has refused to answer calls from South Korea, after it warned its southern neighbor and the U.S. over their joint military drills this month. Kim Yo Jong, the powerful sister, of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, denounced on Tuesday the “dangerous war exercises” and accused the South of “perfidious behavior” after the governments restored inter-Korean hotlines last month, according to the North’s official Korean Central News Agency.

The images of Afghans chasing an American C-130 plane at the Kabul airport and some plummeting to their deaths will sear the memory of a generation. President Joe Biden chose defeat. He and Secretary of State Antony Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan signaled that the White House could turn its back on major non-NATO allies almost overnight. But they did more than that. When enemies moved to attack our allies, these officials preferred to blame the victims rather than reconsider the wisdom of their own policy choices. All U.S. allies should be aware: America does not have their back.

NXT has been taped over the past couple of weeks due to the show airing on Syfy instead of the USA Network (that's a result of the Olympics being covered in its place). Last night's episode, however, was live, and the first time the brand's Superstars had been together since the release of Asher Hale, Ari Sterling, Bobby Fish, Bronson Reed, Jake Atlas, Kona Reeves, Leon Ruff, Mercedes Martinez, Tyler Rust, Zechariah Smith, Giant Zanjeer, and referee Stephon Smith.

WWE Hall Of Famer Goldberg made his return to WWE in 2016 after a hiatus of more than a decade from the company. He would go on to defeat Brock Lesnar in a squash match at Survivor 2016 and then win the Universal Championship against Kevin Owens in 2017. He defended his title against Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 33 in one of the main events of the show. As stated by his contract, Vince McMahon can only have him compete in one more match this year, so it has to mean something. Goldberg also admitted to mocking Ric Flair for being too old to be in the ring in the past. Goldberg also sent a bold message to a female WWE Superstar a couple of months ago.

Nationwide opposition to mask and vaccine mandates is highest among Republicans, according to a new poll.
The Politico-Morning Consult poll published on Wednesday found that only 35 percent of Republicans surveyed said they support government mandates for vaccines. Republicans comprise the largest group of unvaccinated Americans.
Vaccine mandates were supported by nearly 8 in 10 Democrats polled and at least half of independent voters in the survey.
GOP support came in slightly higher for mask mandates, the poll found, but a majority of Republican respondents still expressed opposition, while majorities of Democrats and independents in the poll indicated they supported mandatory face covering measures.
The polling comes as the delta variant, now the dominant strain of the novel coronavirus in the United States, rips through the country and pushes the health care system in several states with lower than average vaccination rates to the brink.
In states like Florida and Texas, local health officials have reported they are seeing a spike in serious coronavirus cases in young patients, as federal health officials race to approve a vaccine for use among children.
President Biden 's White House, which has voiced support for efforts that would allow local governments to set their own policies for mask wearing and vaccination in order to slow the spread of the virus, has criticized Republican governors who have resisted such measures.
"We are continuing to look for ways ... for the U.S. government to support districts and schools as they try to follow the science, do the right thing and save lives," White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Tuesday. "I would note what is publicly available and knowable is that the American Rescue Plan funds that were distributed to Florida to provide assistance to schools have not yet been distributed from the state level."
The Politico-Morning Consult poll was conducted Aug. 7-9 among 1,996 respondents. It has a margin of error of 2 percentage points.

WASHINGTON — (AP) — President Joe Biden's administration is raising alarms at home and abroad about rising energy prices slowing the nation's recovery from the pandemic-induced recession.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan on Wednesday called on the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to move faster to restore global supply of petroleum to pre-pandemic levels, as the White House asked the Federal Trade Commission to investigate the domestic gasoline market for any anti-competitive behavior that could be increasing prices.
The joint actions Wednesday come as the Biden administration is increasingly sensitive to rising prices across the economy as it faces both political and policy pressure from inflation.
“Higher gasoline costs, if left unchecked, risk harming the ongoing global recovery," Sullivan said in a statement. He said the administration was pressuring OPEC and producers allied with the cartel, both in public and in private, to more swiftly undo the production cuts put in place at the start of the pandemic.
Meanwhile, National Economic Council director Brian Deese asked FTC Chair Lina Khan to “monitor the U.S. gasoline market and address any illegal conduct that might be contributing to price increases for consumers at the pump.” The FTC is an independent agency and may take advice, but not direction, from the White House.
Analysts are expecting the latest U.S. headline inflation rate, due Wednesday, to grow at an annualized rate of 5.3%. This is slightly lower than June’s 5.4% which was the highest in more than a decade.
Gas prices are up about a $1.00 from than a year ago, as Americans hit peak summer driving season and return to roads after pandemic shut-ins.
Rising prices, both at the pump and across other consumer goods, have become a potent talking point among Biden's GOP critics. The White House has insisted that inflation will cool as the economy recovers from the twin shocks of the pandemic and the nation's ongoing recovery from the virus-induced lockdowns.

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai police clashed with protesters for a second successive day on Wednesday, after hundreds sought to rally near the residence of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha to demand his resignation for mismanaging the country’s coronavirus crisis.
Hundreds of protesters threw paint at a line of riot police who confronted them as they tried to march on Prayuth’s home and police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse them.
Barbed wire fences and shipping containers were used to block the road.
Police used tear gas, water cannon and rubber bulle reut.rs/3lQhS1Zts to break up a similar protest on Tuesday, when thousands of demonstrators drove in a convoy of cars and motorcycles through Bangkok.
Police defended their use of force as a necessary public safety measure and said the 48 people arrested face charges ranging from arson and assault to violating coronavirus rules that ban public gathering.
Prayuth has come under fire for a chaotic vaccination campaign and failure to quell Thailand’s worst COVID-19 wave yet, which has accounted for the bulk of the country’s more than 788,000 cases and 6,700 deaths.
The youth-led protest movement sought to topple former junta leader Prayuth during big rallies late last year, accusing him of rigging Thailand’s political system to stay in charge, which he denies. The government at that time had successfully contained its COVID-19 outbreaks.
Though some core leaders remain in detention, the movement has seen a resurgence since the coronavirus situation deteriorated.
Police said nine officers were injured at the Tuesday protest, one by gunshot to the leg and the others hurt by firecrackers, rocks and shrapnel from homemade bombs.
At least two police traffic boxes were set ablaze and other public property damaged, police said.
“Police decided to use tear gas, water cannon and rubber bullet because we considered that if we don’t, there will be more damage,” Bangkok police chief Pakapong Pongpetra told a news conference.
