WTA roundup: Ana Bogdan reaches first final in Poland
Unseeded Ana Bogdan of Romania and No. 5 Caroline Garcia of France advanced to the Poland Open finals with straight-sets semifinal wins on Saturday in Warsaw.
Bogdan reached her first career singles final on the WTA Tour with a 7-5, 7-5 defeat of Ukraine's Kateryna Baindl, who hurt her cause with eight double faults. The players exchanged seven consecutive service breaks to begin the match, which finished with 14 total breaks.
Garcia will be looking for her ninth career title after defeating No. 10 Jasmine Paolini of Italy 6-1, 6-2 under rainy conditions. Garcia, who saved the only break point she faced in the 65-minute victory, beat Bogdan in their only prior meeting in the second round at Wimbledon in 2017.
Prague Open
No. 8 seed Marie Bouzkova of the Czech Republic will play for the title on home soil Sunday against No. 7 Anastasia Potapova of Russia.
Bouzkova defeated 17-year-old compatriot Linda Noskova 7-6 (4), 6-3, striking seven aces and saving five of seven break points. Noskova led 2-1 in the first set and 3-1 in the second set in her first career WTA Tour semifinal.
Potapova converted five of seven break chances in a 6-3, 6-0 win against unseeded Qiang Wang of China. She will be looking for her second career title after winning at Istanbul in April.
Bouzkova, who is seeking her maiden singles title, won the only previous meeting against Potapova 6-3, 3-6, 6-4 in Miami in March.

Dodgers: Insider Lists Four Impact Bats LA Is Pursuing Before Trade Deadline
August 2nd is fast approaching and although the Dodgers have one of the best records in baseball, one can never assume that team president, Andrew Friedman, will stop adding even more talent to the already gifted roster. Although he has hinted that the team isn’t looking to make a splash this time around, he recently seemed to be more open to the Dodgers exploring a possible trade for Juan Soto. However, according to one Dodgers insider, Soto is not the only bat that LA has expressed an interest in.
In a recent episode of Dodger Talk on AM570, insider David Vassegh spoke of some other bats the Dodgers may be pursuing.
“I’ve also heard that the Dodgers are kicking the tires on right-handed hitters like J.D. Martinez, Ian Happ, Brandon Drury, even Josh Bell of the Nationals. The Dodgers might make a trade with the Nationals, and it might not be for Juan Soto, it might be for Josh Bell.”
Read More
Of those players, Red Sox slugger J.D. Martinez is the most noteworthy, but Happ, Drury, and Bell could be strong additions to the Dodgers lineup as well.
2022 first-time All-Star, Ian Happ, has primarily served as the Cubs left fielder. The 27-year-old owns an overall .811 OPS and could be a significant lineup piece since he has a .920 OPS and a .346 batting average against lefties. Trading for him would probably cost the Dodgers a prospect or two considering that Happ is under team control through next season.
Drury who signed a one-year, $900,000 deal this past offseason with the Reds, is now seen as a valuable trade chip due to Cincinnati not being very good in the first half and postseason hopes most likely gone. Like Happ, the infielder has raked against lefties earning a 1.025 OPS.
After signing a one-year, $10M deal with Washington, Josh Bell, has had a bit of a comeback season. The switch-hitting first baseman is logging a 153 OPS+ with 53 RBIs. Trading for Bell probably isn't high on the list since it would be more about managing the struggling Max Muncy and veteran Justin Turner in the DH spot. | https://www.si.com/mlb/dodgers/news/dodgers-insider-lists-four-impact-bats-la-is-pursuing-before-trade-deadline-sm79 | 2022-07-30T16:34:47Z | https://www.si.com/mlb/dodgers/news/dodgers-insider-lists-four-impact-bats-la-is-pursuing-before-trade-deadline-sm79 | false | 1 |
Chet Holmgren to Participate in The CrawsOver Pro Am
Chet Holmgren is returning to the off-season hardwood.
After an impressive five-game run across the Salt Lake City and Las Vegas Summer League, Chet Holmgren has been announced to play in The CrawsOver Pro Am on Saturday.
The contest will take place at 1:45 PM CST at Seattle Pacific University in Seattle, Washington. The game is free of cost to attend.
Across five Summer League games, Holmgren placed averages of 14.0 points, 8.4 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 2.8 steals for the Oklahoma City Thunder. In his tenure in Summer League, the 20-year-old placed a Salt Lake City record six blocks in his debut.

Holmgren, the No. 2 pick, will be joined by No. 1 pick, Paolo Banchero, in the contest.
During Summer League play, Holmgren and the Thunder were set to match Banchero and the Orlando Magic. However, the Magic’s decision to rest Banchero axed the potential pick 1 versus pick 2 matchup.
Holmgren made his debut in The CrawsOver last summer, placing a 35-point, 17-rebound debut on August 21, 2021.

FRANKFORT, Ky. — Kentucky's governor said it could take weeks to find all the victims of flash flooding that killed at least 25 people when torrential rains swamped towns across Appalachia.
Gov. Andy Beshear said Saturday that the numbers of victims would likely rise significantly as a result of record flash flooding over the past several days.
"This is an ongoing natural disaster," Beshear told Fox News. "We are still in search and rescue mode. Thankfully, the rain has stopped. But it's going to rain more starting Sunday afternoon."
Meanwhile, rescue crews continue the struggle to get into hard-hit areas, some of them among the poorest places in America. Crews have made more than 1,200 rescues from helicopters and boats, the governor said.
The rain let up early Friday after parts of eastern Kentucky received between 8 and 10 1/2 inches (20-27 centimeters) over 48 hours. But some waterways were not expected to crest until Saturday.
Patricia Colombo, 63, of Hazard, Kentucky, became stranded when her car stalled in floodwaters on a state highway. Colombo began to panic when water started rushing in. Though her phone was dead, she saw a helicopter overhead and waved it down. The helicopter crew radioed a ground team that plucked her to safety.
Colombo stayed the night at her fiance's home in Jackson and they took turns sleeping, repeatedly checking the water with flashlights to see if it was rising. Though her car was a loss, Colombo said others had it worse in a region where poverty is endemic.
"Many of these people cannot recover out here. They have homes that are half underwater, they've lost everything," she said.
It's the latest in a string of catastrophic deluges that have pounded parts of the U.S. this summer, including St. Louis earlier this week and again on Friday. Scientists warn climate change is making weather disasters more common.
As rainfall hammered Appalachia this week, water tumbled down hillsides and into valleys and hollows where it swelled creeks and streams coursing through small towns. The torrent engulfed homes and businesses and trashed vehicles. Mudslides marooned some people on steep slopes.
Rescue teams backed by the National Guard used helicopters and boats to search for the missing. Beshear said Friday that at least six children were among the victims and that the total number of lives lost could more than double as rescue teams reach more areas. Among those who died were four children from the same family in Knott County, the county coroner said Friday.
President Joe Biden said in a social media post that he spoke Friday with Beshear and offered the federal government's support. Biden also declared a federal disaster to direct relief money to more than a dozen Kentucky counties.
The flooding extended into western Virginia and southern West Virginia.
Gov. Jim Justice declared a state of emergency for six counties in West Virginia where the flooding downed trees, power outages and blocked roads. Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin also made an emergency declaration, enabling officials to mobilize resources across the flooded southwest of the state.
More than 20,000 utility customers in Kentucky and almost 6,100 in Virginia remained without power late Friday, poweroutage.us reported.
Extreme rain events have become more common as climate change bakes the planet and alters weather patterns, according to scientists. That's a growing challenge for officials during disasters, because models used to predict storm impacts are in part based on past events and can't keep up with increasingly devastating flash floods and heat waves like those that have recently hit the Pacific Northwest and southern Plains.
"It's a battle of extremes going on right now in the United States," said University of Oklahoma meteorologist Jason Furtado. "These are things we expect to happen because of climate change. ... A warmer atmosphere holds more water vapor and that means you can produce increased heavy rainfall."
The deluge came two days after record rains around St. Louis dropped more than 12 inches (31 centimeters) and killed at least two people. Last month, heavy rain on mountain snow in Yellowstone National Park triggered historic flooding and the evacuation of more than 10,000 people. In both instances, the rain flooding far exceeded what forecasters predicted.
The floodwaters raging through Appalachia were so swift that some people trapped in their homes couldn't be immediately reached, said Floyd County Judge-Executive Robbie Williams.
Just to the west in hard-hit Perry County, authorities said some people remained unaccounted for and almost everyone in the area suffered some sort of damage.
"We've still got a lot of searching to do," said Jerry Stacy, the county's emergency management director.
More than 330 people have sought shelter, Beshear said. And with property damage so extensive, the governor opened an online portal for donations to the victims.
Beshear predicted that it would take more than a year to fully rebuild.
Portions of at least 28 state roads in Kentucky were blocked due to flooding or mudslides. Rescue crews in Virginia and West Virginia worked to reach people where roads weren't passable.

Central Bank of Kenya Wants Nigeria’s Fintech Company, Flutterwave Kicked Out, Says Firms Not Registered
- Nigerian Fintech company, Flutterwave has ran into troubled waters in Kenya after the Kenyan Central Bank asked it to cease operations
- The Kenyan Central Bank said the company is operating illegally in the country and asked that banks desist from doing business
- The company said it has since applied for license but has not been given and described the actions of the apex bank as a smear

Africa’s biggest unicorn, Flutterwave is on the cusp of being kicked out of the Kenyan market after the country’s Central Bank ordered banks in the East African country to stop doing business with the company.
According to a statement from the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK), Flutterwave Payment Technology Limited and Chipper Technology Limited have been engaged in money remittance businesses without a license from CBK.
Flutterwave not operating according to laws
The bank said that payment services in Kenya are controlled by the Central Bank Act and the Money Remittance Regulations of 2013.

The country’s apex bank’s helmsman, Patrick Ngoroje was reported by Business Insider as issuing a warning to Flutterwave and Chipper Cash were not licensed to operate remittance services in the country.
Flutterwave said that it initially entered the Kenyan market via partnerships with local banks. Following the growth of its operations, the firm said it applied for a payment service provider approval which is still pending, according to a Bloomberg report.
CBK suspects Flutterwave involved in money laundering
The company ran into troubled waters in Kenya early this year when the country’s Asset Recovery Agency obtained a court injunction to freeze some bank accounts belonging to the company.
CBN seeks court order to freeze accounts of 157 companies involved in diversion of funds for prepaid meters
The bank said it suspects that the $52.5 million found in the accounts belonging to the fintech firm are proceeds of fraud and working assiduously to have the money forfeited to the Kenyan government.
The fintech firm, which rose to unicorn status last year, continues to deny any wrongdoing and describes the actions against it as a smear campaign, saying it partners with other financial firms to receive and make payments for merchants in the country.
Two Nigerian fintech executives jailed in the US for money laundering
Recall that Legit.ng has reported that a Texas court in the US has jailed two Nigerian co-founders of a fintech firm to 27 months in prison for their role in helping to launder $160 million to Nigeria via their company, Ping Express US LLC.
In a statement by the US Department of Justice, last week, the company admitted it did not maintain enough anti-money laundering and unlicensed money transmission checks in the last three years, according to a Premium Times report.
The company also acknowledged it did not seek enough information about the sources or objectives of the funds involved in the transaction.

The Detroit Tigers and Toronto Blue Jays square off on Saturday with first pitch set for 3:07 p.m. ET. The game takes place at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario and will only be available on local TV or through an MLB.tv subscription. The Tigers will start Drew Hutchison (1-4, 4.84 ERA) and the Blue Jays will send Ross Stripling (5-3, 3.10 ERA) to the hill.
Detroit (41-60) sit in fourth place in the AL Central and entered Friday night having lost five of their last eight games since the All-Star break. The Tigers flipped the script with a 4-2 win over Toronto, courtesy of contributions from across their batting lineup. Willi Castro homered in the win for just the second time in two years and Victor Reyes had three hits in five at-bats with an RBI. Bolstered by a two-run single from Harold Castro the Tigers picked up the upset win over a Blue Jays team that has their sights set on a wild card postseason appearance.
Toronto (55-45) may have lost on Friday, but they still sit in second place in the AL East and 1.5 games ahead of the Seattle Mariners for the top wild-card spot in the American League. The Blue Jays have been on a tear, winning eight of their last 10 games with the best batting average in baseball at .267 while ranking third in team runs. Friday’s loss may have stung worse than Toronto would have hoped after Alek Manoah left early following a hit to his throwing elbow. Much to the relief of the team, Manoah’s X-rays came back negative and the belief is he will not have to miss a start as a result.
Tigers vs. Blue Jays
Pitchers: Drew Hutchison vs. Ross Stripling
First pitch: 3:07 p.m. ET
Tigers local broadcast: Bally Sports Detroit
Blue Jays local broadcast: RSN
Live stream: MLB.tv (subscription)
Odds, picks & predictions
Run Line: Blue Jays -1.5 (-145)
Run total: 9
Moneyline odds: Tigers +255, Blue Jays -305
Moneyline pick: Blue Jays -305
The oddsmakers are practically throwing a lob for bettors to take the heavy underdogs in this one, and Friday’s win might provide some added justification. But the Tigers got a better-than-usual outing from their bats in the win and I’m not banking on their bullpen to shut down the Blue Jays’ bats again. Hutchison will also be on the hill after allowing four runs and six hits in four innings pitched in his last appearance.
Player prop pick: Matt Chapman over 0.5 total bases (-155)
Chapman is riding an eight-game hitting streak and has three homers and four RBIs through the first games against Detroit. He homered twice to lead the Blue Jays to the win in the series opener and should be a major factor in the offense for Toronto to bounce back with a win on Saturday.

Former Dothraki warlord Joe Naufahu and comedian Laura Daniel hit a different stride and heat things up on the eighth season of murder-mystery series The Brokenwood Mysteries.
Naufahu, a former professional rugby player who runs fitness company Ludus Magnus, ironically plays a fitness fanatic who volunteers for the local fire brigade. He comes under suspicion when it appears Brokenwood might have its first serial killer.
Naufahu previously worked on the epic Game of Thrones, one of the world's biggest shows, but tells Spy he got to fulfil a dream when he landed a role in the latest whodunnit series in an episode titled Four Fires and a Funeral.
The show is famous for its special guest appearances and doesn't disappoint in Naufahu's episode. Along with Daniel, the star-studded line-up includes Todd Emerson with his real-life husband Kip Chapman, and original Shortland Street alumni Paul Gittins.

Advertise with NZME."I had so much fun working on this show," says Naufahu. "We had a stellar cast to work alongside and I got to drive a fire truck!"
"The only real issue we had was that we filmed the episode in the height of summer, so the whole experience was hot in more ways than one."
This series of The Brokenwood Mysteries has been a long time coming. Thanks to Covid-19, it launches on TVNZ One on the August 7, more than a year after filming began in July 2021.
The team is already filming the ninth season of the series, making it one of New Zealand's longest-running drama series.
For lead actor Fern Sutherland, who plays Detective Kristin Sims, the chance to come back each season and work with a wide range of top actors is an absolute highlight.
"One of the things that I really like about this show is that we are constantly meeting new inhabitants of the town, such as the fire brigade, gold miners, line dancers, museum curators and Tim Balme is forever writing weird and wonderful characters," says Sutherland.
"I love turning up on set each season to find out who we are going to be working with. Even now, in our ninth series, I feel like we've barely even begun to scratch the surface in terms of all the amazing actors we have available in New Zealand."
For Neill Rea, who plays the other lead in the series, Detective Mike Shepherd, it's the beauty of learning new skillsets in each season that keeps him coming back for more.

Advertise with NZME."This season we did line dancing, so I have officially become a 'dactor' which is a dance actor, and I was bloody good, actually," he says.
Both Sutherland and Rea have become famous the world over, followed by loyal fans of the detective genre.
The hit series, which is touted as New Zealand's most successful international series, screens in 17 different territories and is watched by audiences of millions. | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/spy-joe-naufahu-feels-the-heat-on-brokenwood/AJEYN3WLWMTBBB3U5NQKOXC32Y/ | 2022-07-30T17:04:21Z | https://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/spy-joe-naufahu-feels-the-heat-on-brokenwood/AJEYN3WLWMTBBB3U5NQKOXC32Y/ | false | 2 |

Para-cycling team fined after Commonwealth Games protest
By COURTNEY WALSH

BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — An English Para-cycling team that protested after being denied an opportunity to participate in a medal ceremony at the Commonwealth Games has been fined by cycling’s governing body. Sophie Unwin and her pilot Georgia Holt appeared to have won bronze in the tandem B sprint Friday. They received an apology Saturday, but no medal. On Saturday, England’s Johnboy Smith’s humility shone through after winning the wheelchair marathon held on the streets of Birmingham in a time of 1:41.14. Smith said the gold medal honor deserved to go to his teammate David Weir, who held a decisive lead until suffering a puncture at the 35-kilometer mark. Australia enjoyed success with Jessica Stenson winning the women’s marathon and Madison de Rozario. claiming the wheelchair event. | https://kyma.com/sports/ap-sports/2022/07/30/para-cycling-team-fined-after-commonwealth-games-protest/ | 2022-07-30T17:06:05Z | https://kyma.com/sports/ap-sports/2022/07/30/para-cycling-team-fined-after-commonwealth-games-protest/ | false | 6 |

When torrential rain caused widespread flooding and washed out major highways across British Columbia last fall, the provincial government was quick to flag the creation of a system to rank atmospheric river systems.
But eight months later, Environment Canada and its scientists say there is still no timeline for when such a system might be operable.
“A decision on whether or not to implement such a scale as an operational information product would be premature at this time,” Environment Canada said in a statement.
Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth had said the province could have a usable rating system for atmospheric rivers at the start of this year.
“That will allow us to, I think, prepare more effectively. My expectation is, from what I’ve been told, that will be coming. Looking to be implemented at the beginning of January 2022,” he told a news conference on Nov. 22.
In the previous few days, about 20 rainfall records had been broken across the province. Landslides shut down the Trans-Canada Highway and other key roads, and the Sumas Prairie was flooded as dykes were overwhelmed.
The rain was brought by an atmospheric river, in which moist tropical air travels over long distances in a narrow band. On the west coast of North America, the phenomenon is known as a “pineapple express” because it tends to originate near Hawaii.
The weather office said it is studying various rating scales to reflect the intensity of atmospheric rivers with a numeric value, but “there are no immediate plans to formally adopt such a scale operationally in the short term.”
The B.C. Ministry of Public Safety did not directly respond to questions about an updated timeline.
But Environment Canada said it is instead focused on analyzing the “relevance” of such a system for Canada and noted any new products must undergo rigorous evaluation and peer review to ensure validity and reliability before implementation.
“This is essential for public safety,” it said in a statement.
Roxanne Vingarzan, a senior manager of applied sciences at Environment Canada, said researchers are aiming for the system to include about five to eight levels, but that it is “very much in its research stage.”
“It’s essential that any proposed scale, or specialized product designed to assist in emergency management, meets the decision-making needs of the public authorities. This includes ensuring that situationally relevant information is timely, accurate and well understood,” she said.
One aspect of the study aims to understand how a warming climate will affect the severity and duration of atmospheric rivers, Vingarzan said.
“Climate models are indicating that severe storms are expected to become much more frequent in duration and more severe. This is one of the motivating factors behind our project because we are expecting that these atmospheric rivers are not going away and, if anything, they’re going to be more impactful in the future,” she said.
Ruping Mo, a senior research scientist and operational forecaster with Environment Canada, said the classification system would rely on the same prediction system that generates current forecasts and warnings. He said the current weather models can provide “confident” atmospheric river prediction forecasts up to five days in advance.
“We are not going to increase the forecast model accuracy, but it can help better communicate the impact of the storm, and maybe can get some early alarm to the operational forecast,” he said.
Vingarzan added that, though a new ranking system would not increase accuracy, it would provide historical context to “identify its rarity and potential impacts.”
“Forecast accuracy depends on weather models which are constantly being improved by (Environment and Climate Change Canada’s) Canadian Centre for Meteorological Research,” she said in an email.
In the meantime, Emergency Management BC said the province is prepared to use the existing Alert Ready system.
“The atmospheric river rating system is not the sole determinant of an alert being issued. Should a community, or communities, feel there is an imminent threat to life or public safety, the province stands ready to use the Alert Ready system,” it said in a statement. “First Nations and local authorities are the experts on the ground, and emergency managers — at the local and provincial levels — will continue to closely co-ordinate.”
Alert Ready is available across Canada and allows officials to issue public safety alerts through television and radio broadcasters, as well as wireless devices.
While the system is coordinated provincially, it is up to local government officials to use it. In extreme cases, the province can intervene and put out an alert directly, Farnworth said in May. He noted that while officials were prepared to use it in some areas if necessary last fall, it is now in place for use provincewide.

Colin Farrell shared that he had experienced “panic attacks while filming underwater scenes” for the upcoming action movie Thirteen Lives.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the Total Recall star shared, “It was scary. I’m not a great swimmer anyway, not that we were swimming, not that we were treading water, we had to stay on the surface, but they built a really impressive network of caves.”
While reminiscing about the harrowing experience, the Batman actor revealed that he suffered anxiety while being submerged for the scenes.
“Man, I had panic attacks underwater, that's a new experience. A panic attack underwater is a new experience for me,” noted the 46-year-old.
He continued, “I had to say to myself, ‘Just relax. Be calm. You’re fine. There’s nothing to worry about. Your tank is good, you’ve got a 60 percent full tank. Just slow your breath down. It’s OK.'”
“They filled them full of water, and we’d go down and there was no up,” explained the actor about the tank experience.
The Ron Howard-directed movie, which is based on the true story of the rescue mission, will be available on Amazon Prime on August 5. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/430829-colin-farrell-speaks-about-having-panic-attacks-while-filming-thirteen-lives | 2022-07-30T17:22:04Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/430829-colin-farrell-speaks-about-having-panic-attacks-while-filming-thirteen-lives | true | 1 |
Regina man, 64, charged with sexual assault of a minor
Police allege Edwin Dwight Woolhether held 'position of trust' with victim's family
A 64-year-old Regina man is facing charges after a young person was sexually assaulted last month, police say, and they believe it's possible there are more victims.
Edwin Dwight Woolhether is charged with sexual assault of a minor, sexual interference and invitation to sexual touching, police said in a Thursday news release.
Police began an investigation after a sexual assault on a young person was reported on June 18, the release said.
During the investigation, police said they learned that the man "held a position of trust with the victim's family" and had allegedly sexually assaulted the young person.
Police did not release any information about the victim, including their age, saying only the assault involved "a young person."
Police say they believe it is possible there may be other victims who have not reported assaults. They ask anyone with information to contact Regina police at 306-777-6500, a local law enforcement agency or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).
Woolhether made his first appearance on the charges in provincial court Thursday. | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/sexual-assault-charges-minor-1.6537072?cmp=rss | 2022-07-30T17:24:04Z | https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/saskatchewan/sexual-assault-charges-minor-1.6537072?cmp=rss | true | 1 |

American cable channel MTV has unveiled the highly-anticipated nominations for the 2022 Video Music Awards (VMAs) and, according to the channel, the list features artists whose cultural impact and work over the past year have transformed the music industry and created global conversations.
The list of VMAs nominees shows hip hop’s continued dominance as Jack Harlow, Kendrick Lamar and Lil Nas X lead this year’s nominations with seven each and they are closely followed by Doja Cat and Harry Styles with six each.
Billie Eilish, Drake, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift and The Weeknd all come in next with five nominations each.
Considering the fact that the collaboration Industry Baby premiered live on the 2021 VMAs stage, it comes as no surprise that the song and the accompanying visuals are what scored both Jack Harlow and Lil Nas X multiple nominations.
Kendrick Lamar – on the other hand – is nominated for the first time since 2018.
According to MTV, Madonna (who reigns as the most awarded artist in MTV history with 20 wins) becomes the only artist to be nominated in each of the VMAs five decades (1980s-2020s) with her 69th nomination for Madame X.”
Another milestone for this year’s awards includes the fact that there are 26 first-time nominees, among them; Baby Keem, MTV Push artist Gayle, Kacey Musgraves and Måneskin, all receiving multiple nods.
They’re nominated alongside Anitta, Becky G, Dove Cameron, Karol G, ITZY, JID, Muni Long, Tems, Wet Leg and more.
When will the 2022 VMAs air?
The 2022 VMAs will return to celebrate the biggest names in music on Sunday, 28 August at 8pm ET/PT.
Organisers promise show-stopping surprises, epic performances and a fan-filled audience live from New Jersey’s famed Prudential Center and airing across MTV’s global footprint of linear and digital platforms in over 170 countries, reaching 422 million households in nearly 30 different languages.
“For the third consecutive year, the VMAs will simulcast on The CW Network, making the show available to an expanded broadcast audience, in addition to BET, BET Her, CMT, Comedy Central, Logo, MTV2, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, Pop, TVLand and VH1,” said MTV.

Abbott spent hours at fundraiser after Uvalde shooting
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has said that he stopped at a campaign fundraiser following the deadly school shooting in Uvalde and “let people know” he couldn’t stay, but a newspaper reports that he was there for nearly three hours. The Dallas Morning News reported Thursday that campaign finance reports and flight-tracking records show that Abbott arrived in Huntsville at 4:52 p.m. on May 24 — which was hours after the shooting at Robb Elementary School — and was then was driven about 2 miles to a local supporter’s house. He didn’t leave the city till 7:47 p.m. A spokeswoman for Abbott’s campaign says that the governor has been forthright about his movements that day. | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/29/abbott-spent-hours-at-fundraiser-after-uvalde-shooting/ | 2022-07-30T17:31:10Z | https://kesq.com/news/ap-national-news/2022/07/29/abbott-spent-hours-at-fundraiser-after-uvalde-shooting/ | true | null |
Birmingham [UK], July 30 (ANI): India's Nitendra Singh Rawat finished 12th in the men's marathon event at the Commonwealth Games 2022 in Birmingham on Saturday.
He clocked 2:19:22, which was 8:27 behind gold medal winner Victor Kiplangat of Uganda (2:10:55).
Nitendra Rawat's personal best is 2:16:05 at the Delhi Marathon earlier this year which the Indian long-distance runner won.
Shivnath Singh owns the national record in the men's marathon with a timing of 2:12:00, set in 1978 in Jalandhar. It's India's longest-standing national record in athletics.
The 35-year-old Nitendra Rawat, a Rio 2016 Olympian, steadily went up the order in the race at CWG 2022. He was 16th after the 5km split and climbed up to 12th by the time he hit the 30km mark. He couldn't keep up the pace thereafter. In all, 18 athletes started the race.
Alphonce Simbu of Tanzania, a world championship medallist, and Michael Githae of Kenya won silver and bronze, respectively.
Simbu finished the race at 2:12:29, while Githae snatched the bronze medal from Australia's Liam Adams by a seven-second difference. The Kenyan stopped at 2:13:16, while Adams huffed and puffed to the fourth position at 2:13:23. (ANI)

Nightmare in Paradise: Hospitals remain unreachable for these Kashmir villagers
Poru Kalnag village in the Kokernag area of Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district may be scenic but the village lacks even the most basic facilities, especially health care
Poru Kalnag village in the Kokernag area of Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district is around 40 km from the district headquarters. A remote area located on a hillock, this village has around 250 households with a population of 1,100. Overlooking the beautiful mountain range of Pir Panjal, the view here may be scenic but the village lacks even the most basic facilities, especially health care. The fact that there is no road connectivity to nearby hospitals and medical centres further compounds the situation.
"The village has witnessed the deaths of at least 10 people en route to the hospital. The government has forgotten us, and failed in delivering even basic health care. There is no proper road connectivity and patients and their attendants are forced to walk 6 km to get to the main road before they get transport to reach the sub-district hospital, which is 12 km away," local resident Qasim Boker told 101Reporters.
This dilapidated road heading towards the village is an evidence of poor connectivity in the area, which has adversely impacted access to health facilities for the residents.
Narrating an ill-fated incident, Boker said" "In 2010, Mirza Akhter, a 30-year-old mother of two daughters, died on the way to the hospital. Before that, she had led a normal life. It was a hot summer day and she began experiencing chest pain. Her family members tried to get her to the nearby hospital on a cot carried by the locals. Unfortunately, she died before even reaching the road. Had there been proper health facilities here, she might have survived."
"In 2018, Bibi Boker (27), who was suffering from kidney failure, died on the way to the hospital. In 2021, Abdul Aziz Lone (60) and Mohammad Abdullah Bimla (70) both died on the way to the hospital due to high blood pressure," added Boker.
"We are only being given hollow assurances"
Since Poru Kalnag village is located on hilly terrain, it also witnesses the frequent movement of wild animals. Locals find it very dangerous while treading the hilly routes in the dark, in case of medical emergencies.
"In 2019, local resident Ghulam Nabi Lone lost two children in a single incident. His sons, Arif Ahmad (22) and Sameer Ahmad Lone (19), died after they slipped into a deep gorge near the village. Their neighbours tried to ferry them to the hospital on cots but unfortunately, both of them died on the way," Aijaz Ahmad (28), a village panchayat member, informed 101Reporters.
So grim is the situation here that the residents find themselves struggling for even the most basic facilities.
"We don't even have a medical store here, leave alone a proper health centre. Even for basic check-ups such as blood pressure or blood sugar, we are forced to walk for miles. It gets worse during the harsh winter. School children, senior citizens and patients are the worst sufferers of this neglect by the local authorities. The government is falsely claiming to have connected all the villages with the tehsil and district headquarters," Bokar pointed out.
"We visited several administrative offices and apprised higher officials about our grievances, but all our pleas have fallen on deaf ears as no one is taking our plight seriously. We are only being given hollow assurances," Ahmad added.
"In case of emergencies, there is every chance of fatality"
When 101Reporters spoke to the chief medical officer (CMO) of Anantnag, Doctor Mohammad Zagoo, he called it an "administrational issue". "I've heard about the lack of basic healthcare facilities in the village and I assure you that I will take it up with the Anantnag district administration. If they provide us feasibility there, we will establish a centre," he told.
Dr Zagoo further informs us that the Government of India has launched the National Health Rural Mission (NRHM) to address the health needs of the vulnerable sections of society. He explains that under the public health umbrella, the sub-centre serves as the first level of contact with a community of 5,000 people. For a lower population of 1,000, the first responders are Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA), who provide medical aid to the needy, especially to women and children.
Maryam Bibi (45), an ASHA worker in the village, is witness to the miseries of the people. "The residents face a lot of hardship in summer as well as in winter. In the event of a snowfall, which could be three to four feet high, approaching the main road takes hours due to the slippery conditions. I mostly deal with pregnant women in this area and have so far, helped out in at least 400 deliveries at their homes. In case of medical emergencies, there is every chance of fatality as the patients do not reach the hospital on time," Maryam informed 101Reporters.
Maryam Bibi, an ASHA worker, has facilitated over 400 deliveries in and around the village of Poru Kalnag
"In 2018, Parveena Banoo (28) a pregnant lady went into labour, and as the family was carrying her towards the hospital, she delivered twins on way. One of the babies died immediately due to the lack of proper medical attention during the delivery. There are many such horrendous tales of deaths, but who listens to the woes of such ill-fated people," she added.
"All medical facilities available", claims BMO
Meanwhile, Doctor Gowhar Ali, block medical officer (BMO) of Kokernag, claimed: "We treat almost every patient at the sub-hospital in Kokernag, as nearly all the facilities are available. We conduct general surgeries, deliveries, lower segment caesarean section (LSCS) and, if needed, patients are kept under observation too by admitting them into our health facility."
Dr Ali also supervises the sub-district hospital at Kokernag.
Local politician and advocate Mohammad Saleem points out that the right to health is a fundamental right that has been granted by the Constitution of India to every citizen of this country. "As a political worker, I will raise the issue with the administration," he promised.
Even in these modern times, people from far-flung areas are dying due to lack of basic health care. The government claims to have done a lot in terms of developing health facilities in rural areas, but in villages like Poru Kalnag, when people fall seriously ill, they're not sure if they will even make it the hospital," Saleem commented on the dismal state of affairs.

THE ZELENSKYS’ VOGUE PUBLICITY MISFIRE: Is an Annie Leibovitz shoot the best way to appeal to Middle America’s sympathies?
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and his wife posed for renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz. In one shot Olena stands near Ukrainian female soldiers at the Antanov airport. In another she holds hands with her husband in the presidential office compound in Kyiv as the pair stare pensively at the camera. In perhaps the oddest photo, Zelensky is sitting behind his wife, pressing his cheek to hers and looking pointedly at the camera in a manner best described as Zoolander-esque.
* * * * * * * *
Some critics supported the couple’s decision to take their fight to the magazine shelves. The Washington Post’s Sonny Bunch posits that the Zelenskys were smart, not silly, for appearing in Vogue. He provocatively argued that Americans have short attention spans and that we have lost focus on the war in Ukraine. According to Bunch, by “appearing in celebrity-focused magazines,” Zelensky is “taking advantage of our unseriousness” and keeping the crisis at the forefront of people’s minds.
When most Americans think of Vogue, they think of the celebrities dressing like clowns at the annual Met Gala, and thick magazines full of progressive thinkpieces, and ads for expensive face creams. Perhaps the unserious American will see that the president of Ukraine is posing in Vogue and deduce that things can’t be as dire as they were before if the first couple has time for fashion photoshoots. Before you know it, that person — due to their news ADD — has moved on to the next trending topic on Twitter.
If staying in the public discourse is important to Zelensky — and doubtless it is — then he should rethink the Anna Wintour method. A picture is worth a thousand words and an Annie Leibovitz picture is worth that plus a few eyerolls to boot.
Speaking of eye-rolls, who’s ready for the Zelensky action figure?!
Pose him alongside your Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Bernie Sanders and Dr. Fauci action figures! | https://instapundit.com/534297/ | 2022-07-30T17:40:33Z | https://instapundit.com/534297/ | false | 1 |
'Be extra vigilant in accepting marriage proposals from those settled, working abroad': Experts
Jose Abraham, also the global president of NGO Pravasi Legal Cell, said he comes across numerous such cases as part of the NGO activities and in the courts.
Published: 30th July 2022 10:07 AM | Last Updated: 30th July 2022 10:07 AM | A+A A-
THRISSUR/KOCHI: When her 46-year-old husband died due to covid-19 in Uganda in June last year, a Kerala woman moved the High Court here seeking legal aid from the Centre to pursue her claims for benefits entitled to him unaware that he had another family there.
This unfortunate development, according to legal experts, indicates not only the need for a system to help women in such situations, but also calls for caution when accepting proposals from those abroad.
The Thrissur-based woman is still unaware of her deceased husband's infidelity as her daughter, who does not wish to be named, has not disclosed the shocking information to her 41-year-old mother yet.
The couple were married for over 20 years with two college-going children - a boy and a girl - before the husband succumbed to coronavirus in June last year.
The information that the deceased had another wife and child in Uganda came to light when the Centre filed a statement in the High Court indicating the same in response to the woman's plea for legal aid.
The Centre, in its statement, has said the deceased man's family in Uganda was also laying claim to the amounts he was entitled to under the National Social Security Fund Benefits (NSSFB).
This is the reason for the delay from the Uganda NSSFB in releasing the amounts to the family in India, the Centre had told the High Court in May this year.
Now the family is no longer interested in pursuing the matter further which is also evident from the fact that the widow has not yet been informed about these developments, their lawyer - Jose Abraham - told PTI.
However, while the Thrissur-based family is in an unfortunate predicament, their situation brings forth an issue that even the National Commission for Women (NCW) is considering seriously -- how to ensure justice to such women whose husbands, NRIs and those working overseas, have another family abroad or have deserted them.
Abraham, also the global president of NGO Pravasi Legal Cell, said he comes across numerous such cases as part of the NGO activities and in the courts.
He contends that the only solution is for people to be more vigilant when they enter into a matrimonial alliance with someone settled or working abroad and not to hurry into the same just so they can go overseas.
Kerala Women Commission chairperson and advocate, P Satheedevi, said there is a need for a law or system in place to help women in such situations as the laws currently in existence have no primacy or relevance in foreign nations.
Abraham said that over the years more Indians were settling abroad and there is also a preference here for marriage proposals which come from such persons settled or working overseas.
However, in the haste to get married and move abroad, often the families here do not verify the credentials of the prospective groom with as much care and vigilance as they would do for a domestic proposal.
In an increasing number of cases, those settled abroad already have another family there and the same is not disclosed when they come with a marriage proposal here and these things come to light only when the newly married spouse reaches the other country or when there is some marital discord, Abraham said.
The authorities here, like the Kerala Women's Commission (KWC) or even the NCW, have limited powers in such cases, he said.
They can at best only request the Indian embassy abroad or the External Affairs Ministry here to provide legal aid to the affected person, he added.
The same was echoed by KWC chairperson Satheedevi, who told PTI that where NRIs are concerned there is not much the commission can do when it receives complaints regarding abandonment of wives or husbands having another family abroad.
However, where the other party is only working abroad and not settled there, they are asked to appear before the commission which talks to them and tries to get the issue resolved, she said.
She further stated the commission also tries to ensure legal aid for such women in the foreign country by speaking to the Indian embassies there.
But in cases like that of the Thrissur-based family, Indian laws of heir ship would not have any primacy in the foreign country and even providing legal aid may not help as that nation may not recognise the rights of the wife here, she said.
She further said that the family's predicament indicates the need for some law or system in place for the protection and aid of women in such situations.
The NCW in June organised a consultation to bring together all concerned stakeholders designated to provide relief to Indian women deserted by their NRI husbands on one platform and to deliberate upon the challenges and technical issues faced in dealing with NRI matrimonial cases.
Experts from the different organisations shared their views in the open house discussion and complainants from different states also shared their experiences, the Commission said.
Some of the important suggestions made during the discussions included conducting training programmes for agencies/police officers dealing with NRI cases, embassies to take up the matter of distressed women on priority, setting up a national helpline for victims and informing them about various schemes of MEA, etc, the NCW said in the release.
While the existing laws, that come to aid women in India in such cases, have no relevance abroad and with even the authorities here having limited powers in such situations, till some system is put in place, the only option appears to be the cautionary advice given by Abraham -- be more vigilant. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/jul/30/be-extra-vigilant-in-accepting-marriage-proposals-from-those-settled-working-abroad-experts-2482271.html | 2022-07-30T17:49:07Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2022/jul/30/be-extra-vigilant-in-accepting-marriage-proposals-from-those-settled-working-abroad-experts-2482271.html | true | 3 |
Maharashtra tops in utilising ‘Kisan rail’ trips used for carrying agricultural products
Since the first Kisan rail’s inauguration on August 7, 2020 between Maharashtra’s Devlali and Bihar’s Danapur, the railways has operated more than 2,300 trips across the country.

NEW DELHI: Maharashtra topped among states in utilising the services of ‘Kisan rail’, started by the railways in 2020 for providing swift and safe transportation of perishable agricultural products from farmers to metro markets in different parts of the country.
Since the first Kisan rail’s inauguration on August 7, 2020, between Maharashtra’s Devlali and Bihar’s Danapur, the railways has operated more than 2,300 trips across the country.
As per information provided by Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to Parliament recently, the railways operated 2,359 Kisan rail trips, originating from Assam, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Telangana, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal from 2020 to June 30, 2022.
“Utilising these trips, approximately 7.9 lakh tonnes of agriculture and dairy perishables such as fruits, vegetables and others were transported, providing markets to farmers cultivating several perishables banana, onion, potato, garlic, mango, grapes, pomegranate, oranges, cauliflower and others,” said the Railway Ministry in its reply.
The Kisan rail service’s primary objective is to increase the farmers’ income by providing a wider market to agricultural and dairy perishables.
The railways runs this unique service from eight originating locations across the country now. According to details shared by the minister on the “Kisan train services”, Maharashtra topped among other states, having availed of 1,838 trips of the services from 2020-21 to 2022-23.
‘2,300 trips so far’

Cook Islands Language Week opens with new digital hub for kōrero Kūki 'Āirani
The Government is opening an online hub for young Cook Islanders to tuatua (talk) about their culture, in honour of Cook Islands Language Week.
Koanga Māpū Youth Digital Hub was developed with youth in mind, as a central platform for them to capture their elders’ stories and knowledge – kōrero – for their peers and generations to come.
Epetoma o te reo Māori Kūki ‘Āirani – Cook Islands Language Week begins on Sunday.
The theme for the week is ‘Ātuitui’ia au ki te Oneone o tōku ‘Ui Tupuna’, meaning ‘connect me to the soil of my ancestors’.

It was intentionally the same theme as 2021, Minister for Pacific Peoples Aupito William Sio said.
“Focusing on this theme for a second year allows us to “iriiri manako” or think hard on it and deeply examine what this means in terms of the retention of Te Reo Māori Kūki ‘Airani language and Pe’u Māori culture.”
Only 9% of Cook Islands people speak the language and it is classified as vulnerable by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).
“In some ways, it serves as both as a warning; elders with the institutional and historical and deep understanding of the language and culture are passing away and that knowledge is being lost,” Sio said.
“At the same time, it provides an opportunity to capture their stories for perpetuity, so future generations can benefit and celebrate this indigenous knowledge.”
Tauraki Rongo, the Cook Islands Language Week lead from the Cook Islands Development Agency New Zealand, said too few people in New Zealand spoke Cook Islands Māori.
He suspected barely half of those still in the Cook Islands did either – even Parliamentary business was conducted in English.
“It starts from the top, it starts from our leaders,” he said.
“If our language really means something to us, it will have to start from home, in the Cook Islands.”
Here in Aotearoa, there weren’t enough spaces for young people to learn their reo, Rongo said. Families were too busy to teach their children at home and community group numbers were dwindling.
He said elders in the community needed to urgently pass the torch to their young relatives and keep the reo alive.
“Every language week I feel sorry we’re going to keep celebrating and it’s slowly going to keep fading away,” he said.
There are events all over the country celebrating Cook Islands Language Week – check them out.
To wrap up the week, there will be a Kapa Nui’ Festival at the Vodafone Centre in Manukau, hosted by Te Maeva Nui Trust.
Try out a few ‘Au Tuatua Rā ‘Ua Nei – everyday phrases – this week:

Pope Francis said Saturday that his recent trip to Canada showed him that he needs to slow down, suggesting that he could possibly retire one day.
Speaking with reporters while traveling home from northern Canada, the 85-year-old pontiff said that his Canadian penitential pilgrimage — which kicked off in the western province of Alberta on Sunday — was “a bit of a test” that showed him that he needs to think about the possibility of stepping down.
Even though he hasn’t thought about resigning, he said that “the door is open,” and that there’s nothing wrong if a pope decides to step down.
“It’s not strange. It’s not a catastrophe. You can change the pope,” he told reporters from an airplane wheelchair.
“I think at my age and with these limitations, I have to save [my energy] to be able to serve the church, or on the contrary, think about the possibility of stepping aside,” he said.
After arriving in Edmonton, Alberta’s capital city, Francis embarked on a six-day tour to apologize to survivors of Canada’s residential schools on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church.
The pilgrimage — his 37th international trip as pope — was the first trip in which he used a wheelchair, walker and cane to get around. During the trip, he often could be seen moving with difficulty, clearly in pain, getting up and down from chairs.
Breaking News
The Argentina-born pope, who suffers from sciatica, has recently also complained about problems with his right knee.
Earlier this year he told the Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera that he was about to undergo a minor surgical procedure due to a torn ligament, and that he had been prescribed “a series of knee injections.”
“[The issue has] been going on for some time now, I can’t walk around anymore,” the pope said in an interview published in early May.
A few days later he arrived at an audience with nuns at the Vatican in a wheelchair.
According to the Catholic News Agency, that was the first time he used a wheelchair in public since leaving Rome’s Gemelli hospital after undergoing colon surgery in July 2021.
In June, the Vatican announced that Francis had to cancel a trip to Africa, which was planned for July, on doctors’ orders because of his knee.

Top Longhorns LB Target Anthony Hill Commits To Texas A&M
Despite multiple commitments in the position group, the Texas Longhorns desperately needed an injection of linebacker talent in the 2023 class, and Ryan (Denton, TX) star Anthony Hill might be the best in the country.
Unfortunately for the Horns, he will be heading to their arch-rivals in the SEC, with Hill announcing his commitment to Texas A&M via his Twitter account.
The 6'2, 220-pound North Texas native picked had narrowed his choices to A&M and Texas this summer.
The Horns were hoping Hill would be the latest elite recruit to pledge to the program in recent weeks, after the commitments of Arch Manning, Johntay Cook, Derek Williams, Payton Kirkland and others.
Hill exploded onto the scene with the Denton Ryan in 2020 as a sophomore, being named a first-team MaxPreps Sophomore All-American and the District 5-5A-I Defensive Newcomer of the Year, all while helping his team (alongside current Longhorn J'Tavion Sanders) to an undefeated season a state championship.
That season, Hill Amassed 105 tackles, 11 tackles for loss, three sacks and two forced fumbles.
In his junior season in 2021, Hill was even more impressive finishing with 131 total tackles, 18 tackles for loss, eight sacks, three pass breakups, two forced fumbles, three fumble recovers, two interceptions, and two defensive touchdowns.

Longhorns Hire UNLV Assistant to Chris Beard's Staff
Texas will have a new face on the bench for 2022-23.
As a result of that impressive year, Hill was named the Texas District 5-5A-I Co-MVP, a first-team MaxPreps Junior All-American, and a Class 5A first-team all-state selection by the Texas Sportswriters Association.
Hill is the top linebacker prospect in the state of Texas and quite possibly in the entire country.
Despite his commitment, the Horns are still likely to pursue Hill until he signs on the dotted line later this year.
The Longhorns currently have two linebacker commits in the 2023 class, in S'Maje Burrell and Liona Lefau.

In Honor Society (Paramount+), a calculating overachiever’s plans to maneuver her college competition off the game board of senior year in a small town spin in unintended and downright funny directions. A delightful Angourie Rice leads a young cast that includes Gaten Matarazzo, aka Dustin from Stranger Things.
HONOR SOCIETY: STREAM IT OR SKIP IT?
The Gist: For Honor Rose (Angourie Rice), high school is just a calculation. She’s the editor-in-chief of the student newspaper, captain of the volleyball team, coordinator of the campus food bank, and founder of the karate club – “while never letting my grades suffer,” she tells us in one of her many instances of breaking the fourth wall – but Honor does all of it just to keep up appearances. What she’s really after is what comes after, and that’s college. Harvard, specifically, alma mater of her hero Margaret Atwood. Because unlike Offred from The Handmaid’s Tale, Honor has control of her fate. And she’s determined to get out of her nowhere town for good.
Honor has calculated that there’s value in enduring the creepy vibes of guidance counselor Mr. Calvin (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) because of his connections with Harvard admissions. But when he tells her she isn’t his first choice but one of a group, Honor also calculates that she’ll have to destroy her competition. She engages her best friends and stereotypical mean girls twosome Talia and Emma, played with cartoonish flair by Kelcey Mawema and Avery Konrad, as foot soldiers in her war of manipulation against three A students: lacrosse captain Travis (Armani Jackson), bookish outlier Kennedy (Amy Keum), and quiet nerd Michael (Gaten Matarazzo).
The battle plan? Sabotage her competition’s energy and time commitments. Noting Travis’s surreptitious interest in Gary (Ben Jackson Walker), she inserts herself into his theater club and nominates Travis for the lead role of the play Kennedy wrote, a play that never would have seen the stage were it not for Honor’s subtle nudges. With two of her targets increasingly preoccupied, she turns to Michael, who proves harder to play. Yes, he’s a nerd. Yes, he’s bullied. But there’s something ticking behind the scenes, and as Honor draws him closer, timing her kill shot, she’s surprised to find herself increasingly intrigued. All of her schemes have been enacted with her signature cold-blooded calculation. But the side effects – Travis coming to terms with his identity, Kennedy’s voice and empowerment, and Michael’s stirring something within her – have become more powerful than she ever imagined. This is bigger than Honor juking her competition and getting into Harvard. It’s about everyone quitting it with all of the hiding. But anything that big might have made some darker calculations of its own.
What Movies Will It Remind You Of? Honor’s machinations put her in the company of Cher from Clueless, and Honor Society also aligns well with sharply-rendered recent high school comedies like Edge of Seventeen and Booksmart.
Performance Worth Watching: Ben Jackson Walker makes a splash here as Gary, the theater club ringleader who shoulders the outsized musical theater portion of Kennedy’s play with swagger and ultimately gets his man.
Memorable Dialogue: Honor’s killer instinct is engaged and she has eyes on her targets. “I didn’t want him to tell me who the competition was for two reasons. One, I don’t need him to. In this school of underachieving losers, there’s only three people it could be. And two, when I leave them on the side of the road, I don’t want him to suspect I had anything to do with it.”
Sex and Skin: None.
Our Take: “You can’t spell sympathetic without pathetic.” A character with a professed disregard for pretty much everyone around her is difficult to make compelling, or likable at the very least. But Angourie Rice – who as Betty Brant steals at least one scene in every Spider-Man film she makes – makes Honor so bright and engaging that it’s almost shocking whenever she reveals her shallowness and lack of scruples. And Rice has a game partner in Gaten Matarazzo. In a series of scenes that are superficially study dates, the two bend their lines to the will of each character’s agenda, agendas that invariably converge as their true selves are revealed. And Stranger Things heads should enjoy seeing Matarazzo twist Dustin Henderson’s sweetness into a barbed new shape.
Honor Society benefits too from its zippy pace. Crisp direction from Oran Zegman and a sharp script from writer David A. Goodman keeps Honor’s frequent forays into fourth wall breakage blended easily into the action, which also includes the occasional still frame for emphasis and funny asides that highlight the foibles of the film’s adult characters. Like so many high school comedies, parents and teachers are stuck on a side road here, running in parallel to the highway the teens are driving on. This is only emphasized further by a musical theater finale complete with costumes, lighting, and staging that rivals the grandiosity of Lexi’s play on Euphoria. Honor Society exists on its own stage, and it’s Honor herself giving us all of this world’s tea.

Churchill expert Richard Langworth is senior fellow at the Hilldale College Churchill Project. He wrote me yesterday after I cited Churchill’s comments on Stanley Baldwin in “What base ingratitude.” I said that Baldwin had tested the limits of Churchill’s magnanimity. My quotations from Churchill suggested that Baldwin had exceeded the limits. Mr. Langworth wrote to let me know that he had “a further refinement on that[.]”
In “Churchill’s Magnanimity: Stanley Baldwin (1867-1947),” Mr. Langworth updates and elaborates on the older Langworth post I cited. Mr. Langworth commented in his message to me: “What Churchill said about Baldwin was about as rough as he said of anyone except wartime enemies—and yet he came back with those remarks at the Baldwin Memorial. Imagine our rulers today saying anything like that about old antagonists.”
Mr. Langworth is an authority on Churchill quotations. In the early days of the Obama administration, Obama to the contrary notwithstanding, he attested to the absence of the statement “We don’t torture” from Churchill’s vast corpus. I cited him in “Obama veers into the Daily Ditch.”
Mr. Langworth is the author of several books on Churchill including Churchill By Himself: The Definitive Collection of Quotations. Turning to the section on Baldwin we find the memorable quote: “Occasionally he stumbled over the truth, but hastily picked himself up and hurried on as if nothing had happened.”
Reading Churchill is an elevating experience. He won the Nobel Prize for Literature and he should have won the Nobel Prize for Peace.
Most recently restored to print in two volumes is James Muller’s long-awaited edition of Churchill’s The River War. The first edition quickly sold out upon publication last year, but the second edition is now available. I didn’t make the mistake of waiting to buy it this time around. | https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/07/churchills-magnanimity.php | 2022-07-30T18:20:04Z | https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/07/churchills-magnanimity.php | true | 1 |

Brendan Burke replaces Howie Rose as Islanders play-by-play announcer
Brendan Burke decided he wanted to be a sports broadcaster in uniquely New York fashion.
It was the spring of 1993, when he was 9, and he tagged along on a road trip to Fenway Park with his sportswriter father, Don.
One day the elder Burke arranged for Brendan to sit in the Yankees’ radio booth with John Sterling and Michael Kay.
“He explained to me that that was their job, that they got paid for this,” Burke recalled. “I was like, ‘Hey, sign me up! That’s what I want to do!’ ”
Twenty-three years later, he will get paid to call games for a New York team, too.
MSG Networks announced Thursday that he will succeed Howie Rose as the lead TV play-by-play voice for the Islanders alongside analyst Butch Goring.
Burke, 32, called it a “dream job,” one he hopes to occupy as long as his most recent predecessors — Jiggs McDonald and Rose. He is only the third man to fill the role since McDonald began in 1980, four years before Burke was born.
“To put my name even at the end of a sentence following up Jiggs and Howie, it’s incredible,” he said. “For someone who can appreciate broadcasters, those guys are two of the best.”
The job opened up in May when Rose announced he would leave after 21 seasons to give himself a true offseason after calling Mets games for WOR radio.
Rose congratulated Burke on WOR during a break in Thursday’s Mets game, saying, “I could not be any more thrilled than to hand that baton over to a guy I expect to have it for a couple of decades.”
In Burke, MSG hired a respected, experienced announcer, one young enough for a long stay. That is his plan, anyway. “This is the only place I want to be,” he said.
Burke most recently was the play-by-play voice for the Utica Comets of the AHL after previous minor-league stops in Wheeling, West Virginia, and Peoria, Illinois. He has called some games as a fill-in at the NHL level for the St. Louis Blues.
Even though baseball was the sport he was around the most as a child, hockey was his game as a player, starting when he was barely out of diapers and his father was working in Milwaukee.
Burke grew up primarily in New Jersey, where Don worked for the Record and Star-Ledger covering the Yankees, Nets and Mets in the 1990s and 2000s.
He was a three-year varsity hockey player at Paramus Catholic High School and played on the club team at Ithaca College.
“Hockey kind of took me with it,” he said. “Once I started [broadcasting] it, it felt natural.”
It helped, he said, growing up in an area where the local play-by-play voices were Sam Rosen on the Rangers, Rose on the Islanders and Doc Emrick on the Devils.
“Being in this market, I had the gold standards at my fingertips,” he said.
While most Islanders fans respected Rose’s work, some questioned whether he ever fully shed his roots as a Rangers fan.
What was Burke’s team in his youth? He said that as a sportswriter’s son, he grew up learning to appreciate the games without taking sides.
“I know people are going to say, ‘There’s no way that’s true,’ ” he said, “but that’s how I was brought up.”
Burke embraced the perks of his father’s job at a young age.
“I didn’t go to a Yankees game where I didn’t park in the players’ parking lot and sit behind home plate until I was in high school,” he said. “I didn’t realize until later in life that that was not normal.”
He also attended several Major League Baseball All-Star Games, including 1993 in Baltimore, where he practiced calling the action into a cassette recorder while sitting behind a foul pole.
Burke said his father has been supportive since he “was a little kid with a dream to be where I am. I’m almost as happy for him as I am for myself.” | https://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/islanders/brendan-burke-to-replace-howie-rose-as-islanders-play-by-play-announcer-d97456 | 2022-07-30T18:23:11Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/islanders/brendan-burke-to-replace-howie-rose-as-islanders-play-by-play-announcer-d97456 | false | 1 |

‘Saturday Night Live’ is one of the great constants in American pop culture, occupying its 11:30 slot on Saturday nights on NBC since 1975. The show has survived constant cast turnover and navigated decades of changing political and cultural climates, to the point where many feel like it never has to end.
One person who disagrees with that assessment? Longtime cast member Kenan Thompson.
Appearing on “Hell of a Week with Charlemagne Tha God’ on Comedy Central, Thompson was asked about a rumor that the series could end after its 50th season, which would wrap up in 2025. He responded with a joke, saying “OK, well I need to start planning.” But the conversation quickly turned serious, as the comedian acknowledged that “there could be a lot of validity to that rumor because 50 is a good number to stop at.”
He clarified that he isn’t calling to end the show due to declining quality, but merely acknowledging the reality that “SNL” creator and longtime showrunner Lorne Michaels can’t keep the job forever. It appears that Thompson thinks ending the series might be a better idea than continuing without Michaels at the helm.
“[Lorne Michaels] will be close to 80 years old at that point,” he said. “He’s the one that’s had his touch on the whole thing so, if somebody tries to come into his shoes, it’s a good opportunity for NBC to save money as well. Maybe they might slash the budget, and at that point, you can’t really do the same kind of show, so that’s really unfair to just really watch it really go down in flames or whatever because of those restrictions. It’d just be a different thing.”
Thompson is the longest-tenured cast member in the history of the sketch show, having joined the cast nearly two decades ago in 2003. The show has seen dozens of popular comedians leave after several years to pursue film and TV careers during that time, but Thompson has been the show’s one constant. The idea of “SNL” without him sounds downright blasphemous to many fans, but if Thompson gets his way, that might never happen.
“Capping it at 50 might not be a bad idea,” he said. I don’t know.”

She's been a teen stowaway, a prostitute, and a GP. So it's not entirely surprising that Lauren Roche has now turned to fiction writing, in the latest chapter of her extraordinary life. By Sharon Stephenson.
There's a Japanese word, ikigai, which means having a direction or purpose in life. Although there's no literal English translation, it's a philosophy that embodies the art of living a balanced, slower life – one that brings joy.
Mention to Dr Lauren Roche that she may have achieved ikigai and, eye roll aside, the GP-turned-author will agree. "These days, I have a nice quiet life," she says from her home in Northland's Tutukaka, a hefty stone's throw from the water. "I actually live a hermit life, which I love."
I'm calling to chat about the 60-year-old's debut novel, Mila and the Bone Man. Set in the Far North, close to where Roche has lived for seven years, it centres around Mila, a young woman of Croatian heritage, and her Māori neighbour Tommy, whose passion for the bush and bones changes her life in ways she couldn't imagine. "It's a story of deep friendship and complex grief and the way that affects people. And how these characters, who are of the forest, seek healing and solace from that forest."
Before we get to that, and chat about why Roche gave up medicine to write, we first have to dip into how she got here, to a writing hut in dense native bush, her five-month-old puppy at her feet.
It's an astonishing story that has everything: prostitution, fire-eating, prison, sexual abuse, bankruptcy, medical school, drugs and suicide. There's even a shipwreck, an Ironman competition and three marriages.
It's the kind of story, if Hollywood ever got its hands on it, in which you just know Kate Winslet would play the role of Roche.
It was the subject of Roche's 1999 memoir, Bent not Broken, in which she wrote, "My life is one of dreams lost and found again, of abandonment and rediscovery. There is pain, but there is also a lot of laughter and light."

Advertise with NZME.It's a journalistic cliché to go hunting for the tragedy in someone's life, but you don't have to search far with Roche. She was born in Wellington, the oldest of three daughters, to parents she says "didn't really know what they were doing".
"Mum was 18 when she had me and Dad was 21. They were bright but undereducated and my childhood was pretty chaotic."
She's not airbrushing it: there were various moves across the Tasman and never enough money, food or love to go around. When Roche was eight, she was sexually abused by the father and brother of her mother's boyfriend.
"Blood was running down my leg, so I told Mum I fell on a stick," she recalls. "I think she suspected what had happened because she sent me to live with my grandparents."
Her mother, who struggled with drug and alcohol abuse and mental-health issues, fatally overdosed when she was 32 and Roche was 14. "I was living in Auckland with an aunt at the time, so for years I felt as though I'd let Mum down because she died alone. It took me a long time to unpick that grief."
Roche was bright but left school at 15. There followed a cycle of soul-sapping jobs, from working at McDonald's to cleaning the corridors of Wellington Hospital, ironically the same corridors she later walked as a doctor.
Seeking adventure, at 16 she stowed away on an American naval ship, spending 21 days in complete darkness, unable to sit up in the tiny cupboard she was secreted in. "One of the sailors brought me food and I would pee in a can. But I refused to poo in the can, so I held on for 21 days!"
It's probably not surprising that this story doesn't end well: two months after arriving, Roche was arrested for being an illegal immigrant. She spent three weeks in a Texas jail before being deported.

Advertise with NZME.Back in Wellington, she was working as a fire-eating stripper and prostitute when she discovered she was pregnant with son Paul (now 42). It wasn't her finest hour: "We did some terrible things back then, things like rolling Korean sailors for their wallets."
Turning point
Like her mother, Roche was stalked by post-natal depression and tried to commit suicide. Unlike her mother, it proved Roche's turning point. "When I was in hospital, one of the doctors said to me, 'Do you have any dreams for your life?' I told him I'd always wanted to be a doctor, and he smirked. But while I was in the psych unit, I realised my life was turning into my mother's and that education was the only way to stop it. I picked medicine because it was the biggest, most challenging thing I could find – to try and nullify the bad things I'd done and absolve myself."
Roche returned to high school to complete her last three years, repeating seventh form because she became pregnant with her second son, Christopher (now 37).
Put it down to her rugged Viking roots, or the determination she wears like a shield, but there was never any question Roche wouldn't finish what she'd started. "My grandmother looked after my eldest while Christopher came to Otago University with me. He had epilepsy and was autistic, so it was a challenge raising him on my own and studying medicine."
She'd rise at 4am to revise, and often felt like a fish out of water. "I had this recurring dream of getting kicked out because I wasn't good enough. But I remember Professor Eru Pōmare saying to me, 'We need more doctors like you, so don't let them get you down.'"
Roche had her heart set on obstetrics and gynaecology, but juggling 48-hour shifts with young children wasn't a good fit, so she became a GP, first in Wellington, then Paraparaumu, Palmerston North and Napier. "I've been gradually moving towards the sun," she laughs.
Being a respected GP didn't automatically cancel out her demons: a gruelling work schedule ended her second marriage (her first, to a Canadian national for a visa, lasted a day) and then her old nemesis, depression, returned. "I started prescribing myself sleeping tablets and became addicted."
There was another failed suicide attempt, which ended with Roche being "treated in hospital by doctors who were my juniors. It was mortifying."
Because she wasn't working or paying her bills, the debts piled up and Roche declared bankruptcy in 1995. "I was too messed up and depressed to figure a way out, but too embarrassed to go on a benefit."
A friend offered her a lifeline – work at a Kāpiti Lotto shop – which she did for a year. It gave her the mental space to start writing. "I wrote a medical column in a magazine and started thinking about what I wanted to write. Even though my parents had issues, they were both great readers and passed that love of books on to me. As kids, we'd have boxes of second-hand books from the Salvation Army."
Extreme exercise
Once Roche started writing, she couldn't stop. She followed Bent not Broken with a second memoir, Life on the Line. "I finished the first book on a positive note, but I didn't want people to think that, if you get an education and change your life, all will be fine. My life has been a mess, then it hasn't been, then it has been a mess again. In the second book, I was trying to figure out why I've had so many ups and downs in my life."
There was a third marriage, and eventual divorce, to a plumber in Napier. And the realisation that although Roche had managed to put some of her psychological demons back in their box, she'd neglected the physical ones.
"My weight had climbed to 103kg and I was tired all the time. I wanted to do something positive for my health."
True to form, she picked the hardest thing she could find – the Ironman competition, a gruelling 3.9km swim, 180km bike ride and 42.2km run.
"I could only swim three strokes, hadn't ridden a bike since I was 20 and couldn't run. I remember my first swimming lesson at the local pool where five- and six-year-olds were beating me. Their parents, many of whom were my patients, were watching, which was hugely embarrassing."
But Roche persevered, and despite an injury that meant she had to walk the race instead of run, 18 months later she completed it in 16 hours, 36 minutes.
While training for her second Ironman, Roche injured her back. Two surgeries followed, leaving her with spinal cord damage. It put an end to exercise and left her in daily pain. "All I can do these days is a gentle walk in the bush. I can't drive far or sit for long."
It also signalled an end to Roche's medical career, because one side effect of the injury was incontinence. "Having to go to the toilet every 15 minutes doesn't really work when you're in a public-facing role."
It was the break she needed to become a full-time writer, but this time of fiction.
"I had outright hatred from some in my family when my memoirs were published, so Dad begged me to pick on someone else's family story. I remember the local community paper running a story about my first book with the headline: 'From Stripper and Prostitute to Doctor'. Dad was so worried about his parents seeing it that he ran up and down the street grabbing newspapers out of letter boxes."
Just getting started
It's the nature of memoir that other people can get caught in the crossfire. Roche says since many in her family are no longer alive to defend their stories, she decided to switch to fiction.
The idea for Mila and the Bone Man came in 2018 when she was running through the bush. "There had been all this publicity about kauri dieback," she explains. "So, they'd set up sanitisation stations around the bush, but I watched runner after runner swerve around them because they didn't want to spend 10 seconds doing something to help nature. I wondered how that kind of selfishness would feel for someone of the forest."
The first draft of the manuscript, completed in 2019, was from the perspective of a young Māori woman. But that eventually proved problematic.
"I consulted with Māori and one person whose opinion I deeply respect said having me write from the Māori perspective was culturally really confronting. I realised that Mila didn't have to be Māori to be part of the natural world, so I rewrote it, giving her European heritage and making Tommy, the autistic boy next door, Māori.
"Writer Pip Adam, who was my mentor for this novel, agreed it was good to change the ethnicity of my protagonist and I'm thrilled with how it turned out."
Roche laughs for a really long time when I ask if she's scratched her literary itch. "I'm just getting started," she says in a tone that suggests this is only the tip of the writing iceberg.
Her writing hut, tucked into the 4ha property she shares with her partner, coffee roaster Graham Allen, has seen a lot of action lately. There's the manuscript Roche completed as part of her master's degree in creative writing at Auckland University of Technology, Songs to Sing to the Dying, a book she describes as "a metafictional postmodern pastiche that personifies death and demystifies some aspects of dying".
Her second completed manuscript, set in the 1850s, tells the story of two artists competing to illustrate the medical textbook Gray's Anatomy.
There are other books in the pipeline – "having multiple projects on the go keeps my brain active" – and the rest of the day is filled in with reading, playing with her bichon puppy, Lucy Jordan, and trying to answer all the questions on the TV show The Chase.
It is, she concedes, her own take on ikigai. "My injury really opened up my life and allowed me to do something else I love. Once again, I've totally changed my life."

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) — This offseason, the Detroit Lions challenged running back D’Andre Swift: Fight through the bumps and bruises and play through all 17 games in 2022.
Swift, a running back who was injured in each of his first two seasons, is healthy now and the team expects him to be one of its top players on offense.
“We all know there’s a difference in being injured and hurt,” assistant coach and running backs coach Duce Staley said. “As soon as you step in this building as a running back — Day 1 of training camp — you’re not going to feel the same. So there are going to be some things he’s going to have to fight through, and he’s going to have to work through that.”
It’s a blunt statement from Staley, but that’s the kind of honesty Swift and the rest of the Lions roster has come to expect from the coaching staff. Those words carry more weight coming from Staley, who was an NFL running back for 10 seasons.
“Duce is going to tell me what I need to hear, and that’s kind of what you need,” Swift said. “That’s the type of guy I want to play for.”
The 23-year-old is taking the challenge head-on, hitting the weight room in the offseason and arriving to camp noticeably bigger and stronger.
“Full body strength,” Swift said of his offseason regimen. “Getting my body right.”
The Lions, too, are taking responsibility to make sure that Swift can stay healthy. They plan to increase his training camp workload but also won’t overload him.
“There could be a little bit of, we ramp him up for a couple days, back him off on the third day,” coach Dan Campbell said. “But we’re going to be smart with him.”
Swift has shown flashes of being a potent weapon for the Lions’ offense. He improved his all-purpose yardage from 878 his rookie season to 1,069 last year. But a combination of sharing the backfield with Jamaal Williams and nagging injuries limited him to just 151 rushes last year, ranking him 30th among NFL backs.
Campbell has seen enough potential in the 2020 second-round pick and admitted it’s going to be hard to take Swift off the field when the season begins.
“Swift is one of our most explosive players on offense,” Campbell said. “Like literally, we feel like, ‘Alright man, if we set this up right and there’s any space, this guy can take it to the house.’ He’s got that ability, and so, my gosh, man, you want those guys out there every play.”
Swift may also benefit from the high expectations of the offensive line. While injuries led last season to left tackle Taylor Decker missing the first eight games of the season and Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow the final 13 games, all five starters are currently healthy.
Swift said “that’d mean the world” if it stays that way.
NOTES: The Lions removed reserve offensive tackle Dan Skipper from the non-football illness list on Saturday … Former Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett, now an offensive assistant on the Lions’ coaching staff, has been an extra arm at training camp, helping out during individual drills.

Steven Matz, Binghamton Mets fall to Portland Sea Dogs in Game 3 of playoffs
Binghamton had its best starter on the mound, and Steven Matz turned in a sturdy if unspectacular performance. The Mets’ offense, which was shut out on Thursday, fought back to tie the score in the sixth inning and, after falling behind again later, brought the tying run to the plate twice in the ninth.
But it wasn’t enough.
Binghamton fell, 6-3, to the Portland Sea Dogs in Game 3 of the Eastern League Eastern Division playoff series Friday night. The Mets are now in a 2-1 hole and face elimination in Game 4, at noon on Saturday in Portland. Righthander Rainy Lara is slated to take the start for Binghamton.
Matz, a Long Island native, allowed six hits, two walks and three runs (all earned) in five innings, striking out five. The outing was the third time this season the Mets' top lefthanded prospect has faced Portland. In 17.1 innings during those starts, Matz allowed eight earned runs (for a 4.15 ERA), 17 hits and four walks and struck out 14. Friday’s start was just the fifth time in 25 starts this season that Matz had allowed three or more earned runs in a start.
But the damage against Matz on Friday could have been much worse.
Portland loaded the bases with one out in the second inning, but Matz surrendered only one run, on Heiker Meneses’ sacrifice fly.
Meneses doubled to lead off the bottom of the fifth and, with one out, newly-signed Cuban import Rusney Castillo doubled to score Meneses. Mike Miller followed with a single that scored Castillo, who’s working his way to the majors after signing a seven-year, $72.5 million deal with Boston, Portland’s parent team, two weeks ago. But Matz battled back, striking out Sean Coyle and getting Keury De La Cruz to ground out to end the inning.
Despite solid pitching from Matz, the Mets still found themselves in a 3-0 hole entering the sixth. But Binghamton fought back.
Xorge Carillo doubled with one out and scored on Brandon Nimmo’s two-out double. Nimmo advanced to third on a fielding error and scored on a wild pitch to the next hitter, T.J. Rivera, cutting the Mets’ deficit to 3-2.
Darrell Ceciliani walked with two outs in the seventh and scored the tying run on Travis Taijeron’s double.
The tie was short-lived, however. Portland scored three runs in the seventh on singles from Castillo, Miller, Coyle and Carson Blair.
Brian Burgamy walked and Jayce Boyd singled with one out in the ninth, bringing the tying run to the plate twice. But Ceciliani and Taijeron flied out to strand the runners and end the game. | https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/steven-matz-binghamton-mets-fall-to-portland-sea-dogs-in-game-3-of-playoffs-h98590 | 2022-07-30T18:52:13Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/steven-matz-binghamton-mets-fall-to-portland-sea-dogs-in-game-3-of-playoffs-h98590 | false | 1 |

Dilipkumar Thakkar, additional principal judge of the Ahmedabad Sessions Court, said in his order refusing bail on Saturday that both Setalvad and Sreekumar "prepared false number of affidavits and documents" and used Zakia Jafri, the wife of slain former Congress MP Ehsaan Jafri, as a tool "with a view to defame the then CM as well as bureaucrats and police personnel..." and to get monetary benefits from one political faction as well as other countries.
The case relates to alleged accusations that the post-Godhra riots were sponsored by the state government led by then chief minister Narendra Modi.
The Court also said it was "important to note that the NGO of applicant-accused Teesta in the name of CJP (Citizen for Justice and Peace) was registered after the Godhra train incident as well as post-Godhra riot cases."
"Therefore, if these applicants-accused would be enlarged on bail, then definitely it will tamper or hamper the witnesses and influence the investigation," the court further said.

A Kelowna resident living on a disability income feels the province can do more to help those living with limited financial means during the current excessive heat wave.
A letter rejecting his inquiry about funding support to buy an air conditioner unit or fan and instead look for cooling centre resource locations in the city, including Orchard Park Shopping Centre, led the frustrated man to contact Black Press Media.
Brian (not his real name) said last year he was made aware the Ministry of Social Development and Economic Security offered a $100 rebate to buy an air conditioner unit, for those on disability incomes, to combat a heat wave that would claim more than 600 lives last summer across the province.
With another heat wave descending on B.C. this summer, Brian anticipated the same option being available, but he was informed otherwise.
“People living on a disability income don’t have the money to afford buying an air conditioner unit. I don’t think the answer is for everyone on disability to go loiter at the mall to avoid the heat,” he said.
“I am fortunate to live with family in a home with air conditioning but I am furious that people out there are really suffering in this heat, living on disability with no air conditioning when it really gets hot.”
In response to an email submission of questions by Black Press, the ministry responded to Brian’s concerns.
“During the extreme heat dome in 2021 as with other emergency needs, the ministry provided supports to ministry clients, including issuing Crisis Supplements as needed. This allowed people receiving income or disability assistance to purchase fans, and other supplies such as ice and misting bottles,” stated the ministry response.
“These supports continue to be available. A crisis supplement is a one-time payment available to ministry clients who face unexpected emergency needs to prevent imminent danger to their physical health. Access to crisis supplements is available to all clients at all times.”
The ministry also suggested cooling tips beyond finding a cooling centre such as drinking plenty of water, taking cool baths or showers, sleeping in a residence’s coolest room, and seeking cooler, breezier, shaded areas in outdoor spaces.
Brian reiterated the need for the ministry to act in advance, to not wait until a heat dome weather occurrence arrives to provide reimbursement assistance.
“And I would rather than be given $100 rather than get a reimbursement which can take four or five weeks to process in between our monthly cheques. Otherwise, it becomes too little too late if you don’t have the money to pay for it, to begin with,” he said.
In response, the ministry stated actions will be taken in response to a heat warning or extreme heat emergency.
“The ministry is providing clients with information to help them stay cool and safe during hot weather. This includes resources from Health Authorities Municipalities, Emergency Management BC and community agencies, that identify where supports are available and how they can be accessed,” the email said.
In Kelowna, the public cooling centres are located at Parkinson Recreation Centre, Rutland Arena, Rutland Activity Centre and the Capital News Centre.

Matt Moulson getting Lady Byng consideration
PITTSBURGH -- The Lady Byng award for sportsmanship and gentlemanly play isn't always the most coveted award for NHL players -- they play a fairly ungentlemanly sport, and a teammate who gets through an entire season with a single digit in penalty minutes is as likely to be razzed as praised.
But Matt Moulson, who leads the Isles with 34 goals and has just six penalty minutes in 76 games this season, is getting some buzz for a Lady Byng nomination.
"He's my pick for the Lady Byng," Penguins coach Dan Bylsma said, unprompted, Tuesday. And there are more accolades.
"You get mentioned for any award and it's special," John Tavares said. "You have to play this game well to not get called for a few trips or hooks. You look at the list of guys who have won the Byng, and it's a pretty impressive list."
That part is true: Martin St. Louis has won it the last two seasons, Pavel Datsyuk the four before that and Wayne Gretzky and Mike Bossy won it three times each.
Martin nearing hits record
Matt Martin came into the game just 11 hits shy of setting a "record" of 357. The statistic has only been kept since 2005-06, and the category known as "real-time stats," which includes time on ice, blocked shots and hits, among others, can vary wildly in accuracy from arena to arena.
But still, Martin has been incredibly consistent all season, and came into the game leading the hit category by 70 over Dustin Brown of the Kings.
"To lead the league in anything is kind of a big accomplishment," Martin said. "I just try to play the same way every night, just finish all my checks when I can."
Niederreiter, Eaton sit
Jack Capuano stuck with the same lineup that won in Sunrise, Fla. on Sunday, meaning Nino Niederreiter and Mark Eaton were the healthy scratches. | https://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/islanders/matt-moulson-getting-lady-byng-consideration-m77464 | 2022-07-30T19:28:40Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/islanders/matt-moulson-getting-lady-byng-consideration-m77464 | true | 1 |

Marie Bouzkova Beats Linda Noskova to Reach Hometown Final in Prague
- Updated: July 30, 2022
There’s no place like home.
Marie Bouzkova is reconfiguring her hometown tournament into local launching pad.
In an all-Czech clash, Prague native Bouzkova flew through the final five games defeating 17-year-old Linda Noskova 7-6(4), 6-3 to land a spot in her fourth career final.
The 66th-ranked Bouzkova will play for her first WTA title in tomorrow’s final. Bouzkova will face Anastasia Potapova in the Prague title match.
Yet to drop a set 👏

No.7 seed @nastiaapotapova moves past Wang in commanding fashion, 6-3, 6-0!#PragueOpen pic.twitter.com/fyQWMw5z9f
The seventh-seeded Potapova roared through seven straight games stopping world No. 141 Wang Qiang 6-3, 6-0 in today’s second semifinal. The 21-year-old Potapova pounded world No. 2 Anett Kontaveit 6-1, 6-1 in a 49-minute quarterfinal thrashing and backed it up with a powerful performance today.
Guadalajara finalist Bouzkova is bidding to become the fifth Czech woman to raise the Prague title trophy following compatriots Barbora Krejcikova (2021), Petra Kvitova (2018), Lucie Safarova (2016) and Karolina Pliskova (2015).
It’s been a Bouzkova breakout season as she lost to 2017 US Open champion Sloane Stephens in the Guadalajara final last February, knocked off Caroline Garcia en route to her first Wimbledon quarterfinal earlier this month and raised her record to 22-10 today—the most victories she’s scored in a single season.
Bouzkova burst out to a 5-3 lead, but the teenager broke back to level after 10 games and won eight of 10 points to go up 6-5.
At 3-all in the tiebreaker, Bouzkova drew an errant forehand and a netted backhand edging ahead 5-3. Noskova was in charge of the point but sprayed a backhand trying to change direction down the line to give Bouzkova two set points.
A focused Bouzkova slid an ace out wide to take a one-set lead after 61 minutes of play.
Bouzkova fended off a pair of break points holding for 2-3 in the second set. Bouzkova won 14 of 16 points transforming a 1-3 deficit into a 4-3 lead. She never looked back to book a spot in her fourth final.
In their lone prior meeting in the Miami Open qualifying last March, Bouzkova battled by Potapova 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. | https://www.10sballs.com/2022/07/30/marie-bouzkova-beats-linda-noskova-to-reach-hometown-final-in-prague/ | 2022-07-30T19:30:43Z | https://www.10sballs.com/2022/07/30/marie-bouzkova-beats-linda-noskova-to-reach-hometown-final-in-prague/ | false | 1 |
Forest finish pre-season with Valencia draw
- Published
Nottingham Forest ended their pre-season campaign with a 1-1 draw against Valencia.
Steve Cooper's side started brightly and went close through Jesse Lingard and Sam Surridge, but neither could beat Giorgi Mamardashvili.
The visitors took the lead through Carlos Soler, who fired past Dean Henderson from 12-yards out.
Forest found their rhythm and equalised in the 83rd minute when Taiwo Awoniyi squared the ball to the unmarked Brennan Johnson, who tucked home from close range. | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cv285pq7895o | 2022-07-30T19:34:30Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articles/cv285pq7895o | true | null |
Waking up to the demands of a toddler is a morning ritual in many houses. But for Ruth Walsh, it is one she never stops being grateful for.
The 37-year-old physiotherapist from Mitchelstown, Co Cork, is keenly aware that her only daughter, two-year-old Zoe, is a huge miracle for her and her husband Stephen.
She describes the little girl as the couple’s miracle surprise, arriving in June 2020 after a big battle by Ruth after a diagnosis of sarcoma in her ankle.
Ruth says of her pandemic baby: “With my chemotherapy, I had no time to save eggs. I was in early menopause from the chemo. We had given up hope of it happening really. Then I was 11 weeks (pregnant) before I actually knew I was pregnant! We could not believe it!”
She added: “I still can’t believe I got that lucky. It is incredible that I got her. She is the real surprise in all of this.”
Zoe’s arrival came after a very tough four years for Ruth, who is speaking about her experience with sarcoma to mark Sarcoma Awareness Month.
She had led a very active life until the summer of 2016, when sarcoma dealt her a huge blow. She had been suffering random pain in her right ankle but put it down to her active lifestyle, which included regular horse riding.
However the pain refused to go away and an MRI scan was scheduled for her. But fate got in the way and a few days before the scan was due to take place, she decided to get herself checked when she found it difficult to walk. An xray showed a large mass in her right ankle which initially looked to be a bone cyst. However following the scheduled MRI scan and a review of the xray, Ruth was told the mass was “aggressive and suspicious looking".
A biopsy followed but was inconclusive, leading to a further wait for Ruth, before another biopsy carried out in Dublin was reviewed in the UK.
This was followed by a diagnosis of a benign giant cell tumour, which was subsequently removed in October 2016. But the tumour grew again and despite having a benign diagnosis, Ruth had no other alternative but to undergo a below-the-knee amputation of her leg.
She said: “This devastating surgery took place on December 14, 2016. A few weeks later, after the leg was analysed again and reviewed in the UK, my official diagnosis was a Telangiectatic Osteosarcoma, a rare sarcoma sub-type. I now officially had cancer and it was six months since I had presented with symptoms.”
As a physiotherapist, Ruth was well aware of the challenges that lay ahead of her with the diagnosis and that the time which had passed since first presenting with symptoms was not ideal.
She immediately began a course of chemotherapy but further tests showed that the cancer had spread to her lung area.
This news brought with it some tough realities for Ruth, Stephen and their extended family – she was told her chances of surviving the next five years were just 30%.
She reflects now: “I really wasn’t ready to die and couldn’t believe in some ways that life could deal me this blow so early on.”
Ruth describes herself as someone who is driven by solutions, which she puts down to her job as a physiotherapist.
Even though her prognosis was devastating, she committed to fight against the disease as strongly as she could and underwent a gruelling nine months of chemotherapy treatment and a resection of her lung. In October 2017, she underwent her last round of chemotherapy and has been having regular scans since.
She described Stephen as her rock during the hospital appointments, treatment and regular scans. As a couple, they had to put their marriage plans on hold because of Ruth’s illness.
She explains: “In 2019, I got married to Stephen. I was due to get married in July 2017 but I was in the middle of chemotherapy. We went to Portugal to get married.”
While 2020 will be remembered by many as being the year when Covid-19 hit, Ruth will reflect on it as one of the biggest years of her life, partly because of Zoe’s arrival but also because she returned to the field of competition in eventing.
Not one to let adversity get in the way, she returned to riding and in October 2020, she competed at an Eventing Ireland competition - at the same level she was at before her amputation.
She says: “Riding has always been the sport I loved the most. It was a passion from a very young age for myself and my sister. All I wanted to do was get back to that. Cancer takes so much from you. It took my leg, it took my independence, it took everything that I couldn’t control. I couldn’t reconcile with the thought of it taking the one thing that I loved the most. I had to get back in some shape or form. I knew there would be difficulties but I just felt I wanted to find a way.”
In 2018, she and her family and local community came together to raise funds which led to the purchase of a machine for Cork University Hospital’s chemotherapy ward. She explains: “It warms the hands and inflates the veins in your hands so it is easier to get a line in for chemotherapy.
“The remainder was used to change my prosthesis to the one I have now. At the time, I couldn’t ride with the one I had – it kept turning and twisting. I walk and ride in this leg now. I don’t change legs anymore – I have one which does everything.”
Now, she rides at least three times a week, sometimes four, to keep herself fit.
Simple items which are used by able-bodied riders have proven to be the key to ensuring Ruth can keep doing her hobby.
“I changed my stirrups so I have magnetic stirrups and my boot has a magnet on the sole. It gives me some stability. They are a safety stirrup and a safety magnet. It gives me extra security. That was a gamechanger. They are actually for able-bodied people who use them in high level show jumping when jumping very high fences.”
She also says a very special gentleman has helped her back to the level she was at before she had her leg amputated.
“At the time I had just bought a very special horse. He really understood that I had some challenges and was very patient with me. His name is Trilby. He is a gentleman!” Despite the miracles of Zoe’s arrival and her return to eventing, Ruth is keen to stress that life is not always easy. She says she finds being an amputee difficult at times when she cannot do things like she did before her illness.
“It is very difficult still. There are good days and bad days with the leg. I had just finished a Post Graduate degree in Veterinary Physiotherapy in 2016. And I was just about to do a Masters when I got sick so it cut into something I had spent a long time working towards. I had just finished in the UK in 2016 and about four weeks later, they found the tumour.”
However, Ruth has returned to work to treat horses on a part time basis, which she describes as very physical.
Looking ahead to this October, Ruth is looking forward to being cancer-free for five years.
She says: “It is a big milestone for cancer, especially ones where there has been a lot of spread, like in my case. The prognosis was so poor initially - so sometimes you can beat the odds.” | https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40930085.html | 2022-07-30T19:38:54Z | https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40930085.html | true | 2 |
New York currently has 1,345 cases while California is second with 799, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic hasn't always been up to par with citizens' standards, though it seems some politicians are taking a better course of action as monkeypox continues to spread.
On Friday (July 29) evening, New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that she's declaring a "State Disaster Emergency to strengthen ongoing efforts to confront the monkeypox outbreak."

"The Executive Order enables us to respond more swiftly, and allows health care professionals to take additional steps that will get more New Yorkers vaccinated," she explained on Twitter.
Hochul also pointed out that 1 in 4 monkeypox cases in America have originated in New York, which is precisely why she's so eager to generate a quick response that will combat the virus and protect more people.
As TMZ notes, the emergency declaration comes just one day after the New York State Commissioner of Health referred to monkeypox as an "imminent threat to public health."
It's been noted that the viral disease "is almost never fatal," though one of its most horrific side effects is the rashes and lesions that begin to form on extremities and genitals among the infected.
At this time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have listed New York and California as the states with the two highest recorded numbers of cases (1,345 and 799 respectively).
Hochul's newly implemented executive order will allow for EMS personnel, pharmacists, midwives, physicians, and certified nurse practitioners to administer vaccinations.
The NY Governor mentioned earlier this week that the state has been stocking up on monkeypox shots. An additional 110,000 doses are said to be coming from the feds, leaving their supply sitting around 170,000.
Tap back in with HNHH later for any updates on the monkeypox virus.

Heavy rains that drenched Appalachia earlier this week brought what Gov. Andy Beshear called one of the most devastating flooding events in Kentucky's history.
The flooding has claimed the lives of at least 25 people, including four children, but the governor said he expects the death toll to rise as search and rescue efforts continue.
"It is devastating," Beshear told NPR's Scott Simon. "We have whole towns that are underwater, houses that were in the line of the water are just gone; not a piece of the house left.
"We've lost 25 Kentuckians, each one a child of God, that isn't going to be there at that next holiday, and we're going to lose more before this is done," the governor said.
Beshear announced at a news conference Saturday afternoon that the confirmed deaths had occurred across five counties.
"We continue to pray for the families that have suffered and unfathomable loss, some having lost almost everyone in their household," he said. "... That count is going to continue to go up, and we don't lose this many people in flooding; this is a real tough one."
National Guard members were called up from Kentucky, Tennessee and West Virginia to help with rescue operations. As of Saturday afternoon, a total of 664 people have been rescued by National Guard air operations, Beshear said, and another 19 people — and two dogs — were saved by boat.
Emergency phone lines have been extremely busy, Beshear said, with an overwhelming amount of calls from people looking for friends and loved ones. Instead of calling in, the governor said people can send an email to ksppubaff@ky.gov to report a missing person. Senders should include their own name and contact information, as well as the name, description and contact information of the missing person.
The governor declared a state of emergency for the flooding Thursday and requested federal aid the following day. Beshear's initial request was approved by President Biden on Friday.
Approximately 18,000 power outages are still being reported, down from 23,000, as a result of the historic flooding. Water systems have been impacted as well, Beshear said, some of which are limping along while others are out of order.
The governor is advising residents to prepare for the coming days with more rains in the forecast. Beshear also told people to be careful while trying to get to safety: the flooding hasn't begun to subside and swift waters can still carry people away.
Saturday's forecast predicts clear skies, but the same can't be said for Sunday afternoon, the governor said. Authorities hope to rescue as many people as possible before the rains come back.
"While it won't be as severe, we already have so much water and we're saturated, it's going to be a problem," Beshear said. "And then you go into next week and it's going to be really, really hot, and we are going to have a lot of people that are without power. So, we're bringing every resource to bear. What we face is tough."

Dan Hooker and Israel Adesanya sat down to chat about the upcoming main event between Julianna Peña and Amanda Nunes.
The upcoming UFC 277 main event between bantamweight champion Julianna Peña and former champion and current featherweight champion Amanda Nunes has everyone talking.
A couple of pals who are no strangers to big fights in the UFC, Israel Adesanya and Dan Hooker, sat down to chat about this massive fight. The training partners and friends had a good time, full of laughs and joking to discuss the probable outcomes of this rematch on Adesanya’s YouTube channel.
In the first bout between Peña and Nunes, Peña came in as a huge underdog. She didn’t let that stop her however and took out the dual champion in the second round. Since that bout, a lot has been said about Nunes and her state while in the cage that night. She mentioned having a bad training camp and has since left her longtime gym.
Dan Hooker And Israel Adesanya Are In Unison With Their Choice Of Winner At UFC 277
“I think Nunes just takes it seriously this fight. ‘Boom,’ knockout,” Hooker said.
Adesanya has a unique look to this fight, having had a couple of rematches himself. He has faced both Robert Whittaker and Marvin Vettori twice in his UFC career. He thinks Nunes comes into this fight a different fighter and comes out the winner.
“Amanda knows how to fight. She’s done this too many times. She knows how to show up. It was just Julianna’s night (at UFC 269). .. Julianna’s always been tough, though. She’s always been tough and tenacious,” Adesanya said. “I wouldn’t count her out just yet. But, if I was a betting man with my $1 million on this fight, I’d go Amanda Nunes. I’ll go KO as well. I think Julianna might take a beating.”
UFC 277 goes down on July 30, with Peña and Nunes headlining the event. The co-main event will be an interim flyweight title bout between Brandon Moreno and Kai Kara-France.

Sarina Wiegman is succeeding with England - because she cares.
As the Dutch coach stands on the threshold of history on Sunday, the woman who recruited her to the post says the handling of her staff and squad marked her down as a winner. Wiegman was appointed to take over from Phil Neville 12 months ago and Kay Cossington, head of women’s technical development at the Football Association, was among those who took the decision to back the 52-year-old.
She said: “What did we see when we approached Sarina? Obviously, it was an open process but, in short, it was her character overall and her ability to win tournaments. When we met her she said: ‘This is my vision, this is how I think we should approach it and this is what I’d do.’
“It was really clear and concise. It was all about consistency. But the other side of it is that she’s a people person. When you are driving a high-performance culture, it’s sometimes easy to forget the person at the heart of it. But Sarina really does care.
“It’s not necessarily what you say to footballers - it’s how you deliver it. I think she lives and breathes that element of management in everything she does.
“How we work with each other, how we treat each other. I think she sees that as being crucial to success. She’s brought together the staff and got the team working behind her vision. The group functions as a complete team.”
Part of the FA’s due diligence in plumping for the former Dutch midfielder was her approach to the game. Neville had taken the Lionesses to the semi-final of the World Cup three years ago.
The squad did not need an overhaul. But more fine-tuning - and the ability to see out the old guard - while maintaining good results. Cossington added: “When we did our background checks, we looked at how she managed squads and how she managed the growth of those squads.
“How she managed to blend the young and older elements, that natural blend. Asking any manager or head coach to do that while still winning matches is tricky. That was one thing we picked up on - Sarina manages that really well.
Who will come out on top in the Euro 2022 final: England or Germany? Have your say in the comments!
“Obviously, we looked at how she wanted to play the game in great detail. Both when she was in club football in Holland and with the national team. It’s not an exact science.
“There are some things you cannot manage. After all, sport is sport. There might be an officials’ decision that goes against you - or VAR.
“But you can manage the process. We can control our environment, culture and how we want to play the game. And Sarina ticked all of those boxes.” | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/sarina-wiegman-england-germany-euros-27616910 | 2022-07-30T20:00:51Z | https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/sarina-wiegman-england-germany-euros-27616910 | true | 2 |

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) — A prominent Guatemalan newspaper editor who has overseen investigations into corruption has been arrested, prompting denunciations Saturday by politicians, anticorruption activists and civic groups.
Prosecution agents arrested José Ruben Zamora Marroquín at his home on Friday night, searching his home, seizing telephones and accusing him of money laundering. Zamora Marroquín is a prize-winning journalist who heads the newspaper El Periodico.
“This is an orchestrated plan, where the aim now is not to pursue those who are corrupt, but rather opponents," said human rights activist Eleonora Muralles. “The strategy is to coopt the whole system and have judges — with serious doubts about their impartiality — put together cases and evidence against opponents.”
Journalists protested Saturday outside a courthouse where the case is being heard.
U.S. Congressman James P. McGovern, a Massachusetts Democrat, wrote that he was “deeply concerned” by the detention.
McGovern wrote in his Twitter account, “The judiciary is already decimated, is the Free Press next? Journalism is not a crime!”
Zamora Marroquín has declared a hunger strike. Speaking before a court hearing, he said, “I haven't eaten anything nor drunk any water in 36 hours.”
The U.S. government has sharply criticized the weakening of anti-corruption efforts in Guatemala and last year cancelled the U.S. visa of Guatemalan Attorney General Consuelo Porras, who has been pursuing former prosecutors who had been conducting corruption investigations against officials..
More than former anti-corruption officials have fled the country. Now that effort appears to have extended to journalists.
Guatemala President Alejandro Giammattei has been dismissive of U.S. officials’ criticism of his attorney general and what they see as a backsliding in Guatemala on battling corruption. The country’s new special prosecutor against impunity has been placed on a U.S. list of people suspected of corruption or undermining democracy. He is accused of obstructing corruption investigations.
Giammattei’s government and prosecutors accelerated efforts begun by his predecessor to undo a U.N.-backed anti-corruption campaign that put several top officials, including former presidents, behind bars. They say those prosecutions themselves were irregular.

[Trump/Russia/GOPgate] sock puppet org busted

New charges may signal a more expansive effort to weed out Russian sockpuppet orgs for influencing elections & public opinion, right and left. ["failure to register as a foreign agent"]
13 Russians charged by Mueller in absentia 4 years ago, but this one seems to point higher up the RU food chain plus charges Americans as well.
The presence of investigation in Tampa (thoselcharging Black Hammer ATL as well) instead of SDNY may also signal a broader effort or different regional approach (good morning, Mr. DeSantis - nice hotbed of dissent you got there, would be a shame to see it go belly up)

Twitter has made the WaPo Gaetz hot mike story a 'news event'
1 hour ago
Hot mic captured Gaetz assuring Stone of pardon, discussing Mueller redactions
As Roger Stone prepared to stand trial in 2019, complaining he was under pressure from federal prosecutors to incriminate Donald Trump, a close ally of the president repeatedly assured Stone that “the boss” would likely grant him clemency if he were convicted, a recording shows. At an event at a Trump property that October, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) predicted that Stone would be found guilty at his trial in Washington the following month but would not “do a day” in prison. Gaetz was apparently unaware they were being recorded by documentary filmmakers following Stone.

Mho this is VERY well framed:
He always cared more about 'ratings' than real governing, but has now totally gone over to a fantasy land presidential campaign. For him this is now all about winning the most 'fans' and admirers on the right, not about having the job of president. While the fight about the presidency is currently still useful, he doesn't necessarily need that, he can turn around and use an alternative, like, say, representing the worst case scenario of the Deep State coming after you, the ultimate victim, but he is the one superhero savior who can fight back. It always comes down to 'ratings' for this man, it was never simply about politics.
by artappraiser on Sat, 07/30/2022 - 2:47pm
P.S. consider this: when push comes to shove, he may realize that he really doesn't want the job of president as he once deluded himself that he did. Look at how he despised all those minions who pestered him with actual presidential duties and how he paid no real attention to what his cabinet secretaries were doing, caring only if they reflected well on him. Look at how he spent 1/6, shut up in his dining room, enthralled watching his fans fight for him on the teevee and loathe to deal with it in any real way! Look at him trying to record that video and Ivanka struggling with getting him to use certain words. He is not so much thinking 'coup tactics" all he really cares about is not discouraging the fans from continuing to fight for him. He even uses the famous celeb words to fans "we love you"

Wildfires in West explode in size amid hot, windy conditions
Published: Jul. 30, 2022 at 2:28 PM CDT|Updated: 42 minutes ago
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Wildfires fed by windy and hot conditions have grown dramatically in California and Montana, forcing evacuation orders for over 100 homes.
In northern California, the fast-moving McKinney fire tore across an estimated 28 square miles by Saturday morning after starting Friday in Klamath National Forest.
Meanwhile in Montana, a wildfire doubled in size to more than 6 square miles near the town of Elmo and Flathead Lake.
Roughly 200 miles to the south, Idaho residents remained under evacuation orders as the Moose Fire in the Salmon-Challis National Forest burned more than 67 square miles of timbered land near the town of Salmon.

Can Celtics trade for Kevin Durant without sacrificing identity?
By Ric Bucher
FOX Sports NBA Writer
Marcus Smart has become as integral to the Boston Celtics' identity as their mascot, Lucky the Leprechaun. So — if including Smart is the linchpin to procuring 12-time All-Star Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets, should the Celtics do it?
To be clear, Smart is ingrained in the shamrock psyche for more than his green-dyed dreads and dives for loose balls that conjure memories of another hard-nosed Celtics' legend, Dave Cowens. Smart, the sixth pick of the 2014 NBA Draft, has spent his entire career in Boston and is the most tenured player on the current roster. The Celtics have never failed to make the playoffs since he arrived. The Boston faithful have watched him evolve from a volatile back-up point guard into a slightly less volatile starter and vocal leader.
His willingness to call out the team's more heralded — and more highly-paid — stars along with his defensive leadership inspired the team's turnaround last season from play-in hopeful in late January to Eastern Conference champions. He was selected Defensive Player of the Year for his efforts, the first guard since Gary Payton to receive the honor.
But the prize is Durant, a four-time scoring champion. Ten-time All-NBA selection. Two-time Finals MVP. Arguably the player that could've put them over the top against the Golden State Warriors last June.
While Smart was not part of the recent offer the Celtics reportedly made for Durant — an offer the Nets also reportedly rejected — no one was mentioned more often in conversations with rival GMs about what it would take for Durant, who requested a trade last month, to wind up in Boston.
With the offer of forward Jaylen Brown, back-up point guard Derrick White and a future first-round pick apparently not being enough, the GMs — three from the Eastern Conference, three from the Western — were asked a simple question:
What gets a deal done for KD, and would you do it?
The responses were far from uniform, but if there was a player that represented the tipping point, it was Smart.
"The Nets should ask that he be part of the deal," said one of the Eastern Conference GMs. "Because Marcus just brings a different element. There's risk, but with all the great ones, there's normally risk. And not to say Marcus is great, but when he's good he's really, really f---ing good."
A second Eastern Conference GM agreed.
"I imagine Brooklyn wants three rotation guys," he said. "Derrick White, Jaylen Brown are two. If there's a third person, Brooklyn has every right to ask for Marcus Smart. If you're Boston and say, ‘That's too much,' well, then you're not going to get the guy (Durant)."
As much as they valued Durant, both GMs would do it.
"As long as Jayson is not in the deal, if you roll out Jayson and KD plus whatever, you have more than a fighting chance (to win a title)," said the first GM.
A third Eastern Conference GM believes that the Nets would be making a mistake trading Durant to a divisional rival, but if they did, they should walk away convinced they took something irreplaceable from them: Smart.
"I'd have to get Marcus Smart back and Jaylen Brown and a number of picks," he said. "If I'm Sean Marks and against my better judgment I traded in the division, then I'm trying to strip away what I know they need to win. Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart give them all their toughness. That's where the winning comes in for Boston. I'm not as afraid of them if you get both of them out of the building."
That GM also was less enthralled with the pairing of KD and Tatum than the first two.
"KD and Tatum are talented, but I don't know how tough they are," he said. "I know he's a lot younger than KD, but if you're just trying to win one title, do you trade Tatum for Durant? I'd do that before I'd give them Jaylen and Smart. Brown is valued a little less than Tatum because he's not the skill darling. He's a high level athlete who has developed into a good player. But I have to think Brooklyn would prefer Tatum and you wouldn't have to give up Smart."
The Western Conference GMs didn't see a Tatum-for-Durant swap as realistic, either because they were convinced Stevens wouldn't or shouldn't do it. The first Western Conference GM had probably the least regard for KD among the six, saying he wouldn't give up more than one rotational player — Brown — for him.
"I'd do Jaylen Brown plus guys who don't play plus picks," he said. "It would be really hard to give up more meaningful pieces than Jaylen Brown. I would assume Brooklyn would do KD for Tatum straight up, but I don't think that makes sense for Boston."
Neither of the other two Western Conference GMs saw that as a realistic possibility, either.
"I would be totally shocked if Boston would ever trade Tatum for KD," said one of them. "I would bet it's a non-starter for them."
One reason would be that they know who Tatum is and how he fits into their team. For all of Durant's success, team conflicts of one kind or another have occurred at all three of his stops now — Seattle/Oklahoma City, Golden State and Brooklyn. The Celtics have collectively had their issues as well, but Tatum hasn't been the source of them. And when Smart challenged Tatum (and Brown) to share the ball early last season, they didn't balk, they responded.
"Tatum is younger, and they know what type of locker room guy and leader he is," said the other. "It's tough to give him up if he's your young franchise guy."
The lingering question after Tatum's performance is whether he is truly a franchise cornerstone. That's where the idea of swapping him for Durant has merit.
Yes, there is tremendous risk in dealing a 24-year-old star, Tatum, for a 34-year-old one in Durant. But Durant already has proven what he's capable of with a championship on the line, winning back-to-back Finals MVPs with the Golden State Warriors. Tatum, meanwhile, far too often looked confused or uncertain playing against the Warriors last June, as if the stage was too big and the lights too bright. After helping the Celtics to a 2-1 series lead, he turned the ball over 15 times and shot 35% over the final three games, all losses.
The first Eastern Conference GM viewed the performance as part of Tatum's learning curve, rather than a fatal flaw.
"The elite players, the perennial All-Star and first-team NBA types, all of them failed the first time through (to the Finals)," he said. "None of them just show up and kill. Maybe the truly special ones figure it out quicker. And maybe Jayson is not there yet. But he might get there."
Questions about Tatum's mental toughness are also what makes the Celtics even considering him as a potential trade piece for Durant dangerous.
"Brown has heard his name enough in trade talks that I don't see it bothering him," the third Eastern Conference GM said. "But if it came out that they'd be willing to move Tatum, Tatum might fold on them. If you're going to go that direction, you've got to be sure Brooklyn will do it, because if they don't, Tatum is coming back to Boston saying, ‘Oh, you're ready to get rid of me, after all I did.'"
The second Eastern Conference GM advised against team president Brad Stevens letting the process drag out. If he's already made his best offer for Durant and is willing to bet that the additions of point guard Malcolm Brogdon and forward Danilo Gallinari can get the Celtics an 18th title, he should make that clear. As opposed to waiting to see if he truly has to include Smart in order to get Durant before finally pulling the trigger.
"If you're Boston and you want KD and you're almost there, you need to go 100 percent there," he said. "You're not going to find this at Nordstrom Rack in a month. It's not going to get cheaper. If anything, it's going to get more expensive. I know Marcus Smart is your guy. But if you're about getting that next banner, something has to give. A hard decision has to be made. If you truly want the guy (KD), then do it. If it's too much, then say it's too much and be done with it."

Long Island condiment CHarissa wins Fancy Food Show award
CHarissa, the Moroccan-style condiment invented by 91-year-old Greenport resident Earl Fultz, was a big winner at Monday night's Specialty Food Association awards ceremony. The so-called sofi awards were the high point of the three-day Fancy Food Show at the Javits Center in Manhattan. CHarissa won first place in "Cooking, Dipping or Finishing Sauce," one of 32 categories judged by a national panel of specialty-food retailers.
"It's great, I know it," Fultz said. "But I have to sit down and absorb it."
Fultz started making cHarissa and selling it at the Greenport farmers market in the summer of 2013. The cumin-olive-oil-paprika mixture was inspired by his wife Gloria's Moroccan family recipes. When Gloria died in the fall, Fultz pushed ahead, teaming up with Jeri Woodhouse to form cHarissa LLC. Woodhouse is owner of A Taste of the North Fork specialty market in Southold and North Fork Specialty Kitchen in Cutchogue, which produces custom sauces, dressings and jams.
As cHarissa was gaining distribution on Long Island's North Fork, Fultz entered a small-business competition sponsored by Wells Fargo, and in 2014 he was selected as one of five winners (out of 3,600 applicants nationwide) who received a $25,000 grant and six months of mentoring by a team from the bank.
The 2015 Fancy Food Show, an annual showcase for hundreds of thousands of specialty foods, was the first one Fultz and Woodhouse attended. Even before the awards were announced, their booth was mobbed. "They were coming at us from all sides," Fultz said.
Fultz's goal now is to translate his award into sales. "From the beginning, I've said cHarissa sells itself better than I can," he said. "The challenge now is how to get people to taste it."

Money Fix: Hidden credit cards fees to look out for
If you pay your credit card bill late, you expect to get hit with a fee.
If you transfer a balance to another card, you know it will cost you.
But what you don't know can hurt you, too, and that's certainly the case with credit card fees.
Here's what to look out for.
NEW ACCOUNTS. Companies can charge a fee just for setting up a new card. Those with a poor credit history get stuck with this the most, says Kari Luckett, editor at CompareCards.com. This one-time fee ranges from $10 to $50 an application. "If you and your spouse apply for a joint credit card, you both pay an application fee. The good news is this fee cannot exceed 25 percent of your initial credit limit."
Do your homework; many cards don't charge this fee.
INTERNATIONAL HEADACHES. When traveling overseas, be aware of foreign transaction fees, which can range from 2 percent to 5 percent of every purchase, says J.J. Burns, a certified financial planner with JJ Burns & Co. in Melville.
If asked whether you want your charge to be paid in your own currency or not, choose local currency. Though you'll still pay the exchange fee, you'll stop losing money to completely unnecessary fees, which can add 4 percent to 7 percent extra to the transaction cost.
RECONSIDER CASH ADVANCES. It's bad enough when you're in a pinch and need a cash advance, but this transaction is going to cost you. "Typically, there is a separate fee, as well as a higher interest charge to advance these funds," warns Burns.
Luckett says the fee can be flat, say $10 per every $100 withdrawn, or a percentage, such as 4 percent of the total. | https://www.newsday.com/business/hidden-credit-cards-fees-to-look-out-for-a52788 | 2022-07-30T20:14:44Z | https://www.newsday.com/business/hidden-credit-cards-fees-to-look-out-for-a52788 | false | 1 |
The day Cathy Freeman flew the flag and flagged the future
By Greg Baum
Twenty-one-year-old Cathy Freeman flew three flags at the Commonwealth Games at Victoria, Canada, in 1994 and all are still fluttering to this day.
Two were the Australian and Indigenous flags Freeman paraded on the track after her gold medals runs in the 400m and 200m, prompting seething from Australian Commonwealth Games boss and chef de mission Arthur Tunstall, who said all Australians had to compete under a single flag and tried to ban her from carrying the Indigenous standard.
“She should have carried the Australian flag first up, and [we should have] not seen the Aboriginal flag at all,” he told media.
He might as well have tried to ban air. “I was ready and I knew it. This was my race, and no one was going to stop me telling the world how proud I was to be Aboriginal,” Freeman wrote in her 2003 autobiography Cathy: Her Own Story.
“I took the flag and draped it over my shoulders like a cape and trotted off. I wanted to shout, ‘look at me, look at my skin. I’m black and I’m the best’. There was no more shame.”
Heptathlete Jane Flemming was captain of that aths team. “Looking back, it was probably the first time we had the Aboriginal flag debate in public,” Flemming said this week. “Go her, for kicking off the whole debate. It was probably one of the most significant things she did.”
Hurdler Simon Hollingsworth was a contemporary of Freeman’s, later chief executive of the Australian Sports Commission. He said no-one on the team knew about Freeman’s gesture in advance. “I think most of us suspected she would do something,” he said. “And we kind of hoped she would. We didn’t see it as controversial. We saw it as her celebrating her culture. We didn’t see it as one flag diminishing the other.”
The third, metaphorical flag Freeman flew was a signal to the world of her talent. In what veteran athletics writer Len Johnson remembers were particularly strong fields for Commonwealth Games, Freeman streeted them in the 400 and scrapped her way from behind in the 200.
Flemming especially remembers the 200. “If you watch the way she ran that race, it was a sign of things to come,” she said. “She clawed them back over the last 30 metres. There’s a term for it. It’s rare in sport and you can’t train it. It’s called animal instinct.
“You see a race that will be won by a couple of hundredths of a second and you just know who will win it. They’re so intrinsically driven to get to the line first. Kelsey Barber’s got it. So has Eleanor Patterson. Cathy had it. You can see it in that 200. It was the beginning of all of our understanding about her.”
In the 400, which would become her hallmark, Freeman’s time would have beaten half the field in the world championships final in Eugene, Oregon, last week - more than a quarter of a century later.
“My memory is that she entered the straight in front in the 400 and ran strongly to the line when we all thought she might fade a bit,” said Johnson. “She’d gone out like free beer in a couple of races earlier in her career. It was probably the result we hoped for but didn’t necessarily expect.”
Hollingsworth was in awe. “In my mind, that was the moment Cathy went from potential to actual,” he said. “I remember her contemporaries saying, wow, she’s a rock star.”
Freeman was not exactly an unknown. She had won Commonwealth relay gold in Auckland in 1990 as a 16-year-old - an Indigenous milestone - and that year had been the Young Australian of the Year, and she had competed at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. But she had been an ethereal figure. “Everyone kind of knew her, but they didn’t really know her,” said Flemming. Now they did.
Tunstall was, well, notorious. Pre-Games, he had railed against a fund-raising Golden Girls of Athletics calendar featuring Flemming, walker Jane Saville and marathoner Tani Ruckle, but not much wardrobe. In Victoria, he described the participation of disabled athletes as an embarrassment, and voted against the inclusion of team sports in the next Commonwealth Games in Kuala Lumpur. Then came his stand against Freeman.
“It was a period when sport was professionalising in different ways,” said Hollingsworth. “That was almost the last gasp of the old blazer brigade. That’s not to diminish Arthur’s contribution to sport. I remember on the team, the thought was, this is a strange thing to get upset about.
“Looking back, it was a turning point in where sport was headed, and in our view of the contribution of Indigenous athletes to sport.”
Pre internet, long before social media, back in the fax age, the stir Freeman caused around the world was not immediately apparent in Victoria.
Gratifyingly, the balance of sentiment was strongly pro-Freeman. Then Prime Minister Paul Keating sent her a telegram to say that “in the circumstances, your carrying of both flags was an important reminder of your pride in your heritage as an Aboriginal Australian”.
The next year, the Indigenous flag was recognised as an official flag of Australia. “The Games revealed the overall sentiment of Australians is for the reconciliation of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians,” Keating said.
Flemming still marvels at Freeman in 1994. “For me, it was the growing up of Cath Freeman. Up until then, we all thought she was the little girl of the team,” she said. “I think it was the start of her maturing, on and off the track.”
“I think Cath is, and has always been, naturally introverted. For her to take a stance like that was probably an even bigger thing than what was publicly perceived.”
As would become so apparent on two unforgettable nights at the Sydney Olympics six years later, shy should not be mistaken for timid. Upon winning Olympic gold, she again draped herself in the Indigenous flag. Technically, she might have breached a still standing rule about demonstrations at the Games, but discretion prevailed. Freeman, greatness and that flag were indivisible.
“To be a Kuku Yalanji woman, to have a place in the history of this country, surely in the sporting context, but in a social justice context - matters that are so important for the future of this country,” Freeman said in ABC documentary in 2020, “that’s the most inspiring part for me.”
Tunstall’s 30-year stint at the Australian Commonwealth Games Association came to a finish in 1998 and he died in 2016. He and Freeman did reconcile and many years later they filmed a tea commercial together. In it, Freeman asks Tunstall how he likes his brew, and he replies: “Black is fine, thanks Cathy.”

Sylvester Stallone is a retired superhero in trailer to 'Samaritan'
"I'm not as strong as I used to be," Sylvester Stallone tells a young fan in the trailer to his new action movie Samaritan.
The project has the 76-year-old Rocky series star playing a retired superhero looking to put his past behind him, even though he's still cleaning up the streets ... as a garbage man.
However, a chance meeting with a kid -- and a whupping of his bullies -- leads the young man to realize that the lowly garbageman is actually The Samaritan, the world's greatest hero who was thought to have been killed in action 25 years prior.
Stallone's character tries to deny it, of course, until he gets rammed by a car and suffers no damage.
However, his reluctant return to superheroism comes just as crime has reached an apex in the city. "I stopped caring a long time ago," he says, but sure enough, he decides to suit back up.
Samaritan hits Amazon Prime on August 26.

KYIV, Ukraine — Russia and Ukraine accused each other Friday of shelling a prison in a separatist region of eastern Ukraine, an attack that reportedly killed dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war captured after the fall of Mariupol, the city where troops famously held out against a monthslong Russian siege.
Both sides said the assault was premeditated with the aim of covering up atrocities.
Russia claimed that Ukraine's military used U.S.-supplied rocket launchers to strike the prison in Olenivka, a settlement controlled by the Moscow-backed Donetsk People's Republic. Separatist authorities and Russian officials said the attack killed 53 Ukrainian POWs and wounded another 75.
Moscow opened a probe into the attack, sending a team to the site from Russia's Investigative Committee, the country's main criminal investigation agency. The state RIA Novosti agency reported that fragments of U.S.-supplied precision High Mobility Artillery Rocket System rockets were found at the site.
The Ukrainian military denied making any rocket or artillery strikes in Olenivka, and it accused the Russians of shelling the prison to cover up the alleged torture and execution of Ukrainians there. An adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described the shelling as "a deliberate, cynical, calculated mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners."
Neither claim could be independently verified.
Video shot by The Associated Press showed charred, twisted bed frames in the wrecked barracks, as well as burned bodies and metal sheets hanging from the destroyed roof. The footage also included bodies lined up on the ground next to a barbed-wire fence and an array of what was claimed to be metal rocket fragments on a wooden bench.
Denis Pushilin, the leader of the internationally unrecognized Donetsk republic, said the prison held 193 inmates. He did not specify how many were Ukrainian POWs.
The deputy commander of the Donetsk separatist forces, Eduard Basurin, suggested that Ukraine decided to strike the prison to prevent captives from revealing key military information.
Ukraine "knew exactly where they were being held and in what place," he said. "After the Ukrainian prisoners of war began to talk about the crimes they committed, and orders they received from Kyiv, a decision was made by the political leadership of Ukraine: carry out a strike here."
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak called for a "strict investigation" into the attack and urged the United Nations and other international organizations to condemn it. He said the Russians had transferred some Ukrainian prisoners to the barracks just a few days before the strike, suggesting that it was planned.
"The purpose — to discredit Ukraine in front of our partners and disrupt weapons supply," he tweeted.
Ukrainian officials alleged that Russia's Wagner Group, mercenaries Russia has used in other armed conflicts and reportedly elsewhere in Ukraine, carried out the assault.
Ukraine's security agencies issued a statement citing evidence that Russia was responsible, including the transfer of prisoners, analysis of injuries and the blast wave, intercepted phone conversations and the absence of shelling at the site.
"All this leaves no doubt: The explosion in Olenivka was a Russian terrorist act and a gross violation of international agreements," the statement said.
A Russian Defense Ministry spokesperson, Lt. Gen. Igor Konashenkov, described the strike as a "bloody provocation" aimed at discouraging Ukrainian soldiers from surrendering. He too claimed that U.S.-supplied HIMARS rockets were used, and said eight guards were among the wounded.
Ukrainian forces are fighting to hold on to the remaining territory under their control in Donetsk. Together with the neighboring Luhansk province, they make up Ukraine's mostly Russian-speaking industrial Donbas region.
For several months, Moscow has focused on trying to seize parts of the Donbas not already held by the separatists.
Holding POWs in an area with active fighting appeared to defy the Geneva Convention, which requires that prisoners be evacuated as soon as possible after capture to camps away from combat zones.
The Ukrainian POWS at the Donetsk prison included troops captured during the fall of Mariupol. They spent months holed up with civilians at a giant steel mill in the southern port city. Their resistance during a relentless Russian bombardment became a symbol of Ukrainian defiance against Russia's aggression.
More than 2,400 soldiers from the Azov Regiment of the Ukrainian national guard and other military units gave up their fight and surrendered under orders from Ukraine's military in May.
Scores of Ukrainian soldiers have been taken to prisons in Russian-controlled areas. Some have returned to Ukraine as part of prisoner exchanges with Russia, but the families of other POWs have no idea whether their loved ones are still alive, or if they will ever come home.
In other developments Friday:
— U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke by phone to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in the highest-level known contact between the two sides since Russia invaded Ukraine. Blinken urged Russia to accept a deal to win the release of American detainees Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan.
— Ukraine's president visited one of the country's main Black Sea ports a week after a deal was struck to create safe corridors for grain shipments that have been trapped in the country since the war began. Workers were seen preparing terminals for grain exports, which are relied on by millions of impoverished people worldwide. Zelenskyy said the shipments would begin with the departure of several vessels that were already loaded but could not leave when Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24.
— The Ukrainian presidential office said at least 13 civilians were killed and another 36 wounded in Russian shelling over the last 24 hours. In the southern city of Mykolaiv, at least four people were killed and seven others wounded when Russian shelling hit a bus stop. The Russian barrage also hit a facility that distributed humanitarian aid where three people were wounded, officials said. Ukrainian officials also said at least four civilians were killed and five hurt in the eastern town of Bakhmut in the Donetsk region.
— An appeals court in Kyiv on Friday reduced to 15 years the life sentence of a Russian soldier convicted in the first war crimes trial since Russia invaded Ukraine. Critics had said the sentencing of Vadim Shishimarin, 21, was unduly harsh given that he confessed to the crime and expressed remorse. He pleaded guilty to killing a civilian and was convicted in May. His defense lawyer argued that Shishimarin shot a Ukrainian man on the orders of his superiors.

BOSTON (AP) — Red Sox second baseman Trevor Story likely will be out a bit longer than expected after manager Alex Cora said a second-opinion exam revealed a “a little hairline fracture” close to his right wrist.
Story has been on the injured list with a bruise since July 14 after getting hit on the right hand with a pitch during a game on July 12 from Tampa Bay right-hander Corey Kluber. He'll be shut down for roughly another 10 days.
“The bone bruise is good,” Cora said before Boston hosted Milwaukee at Fenway Park on Saturday. “The treatment doesn’t change. We treat it the same way we’re doing it now, kind of like a strain. The only thing we have to do now is shut him down (from swinging) for like a week-and-a-half and see where we’re at.”
The 29-year-old Story signed a $140-million, six-year deal with the Red Sox during spring training after spending his first six big-league seasons with Colorado.
Batting just .221, but with good production (15 homers and a team-leading 58 RBIs) Story has been streaky at the plate in his first season with Boston.
Now, his return to the lineup may be slowed a bit longer.
“The doctor feels that we have to keep doing what we’re doing treatment-wise and we to have shut him down for the 10 days and we’ll see where we’re at,” Cora said.
Cora explained that Story had been feeling discomfort when he swung and wanted the second opinion.
The fading Red Sox enter Saturday’s game against Milwaukee having lost 12 of their last 15 games, dropping them to 3 ½ games behind the AL’s last wild-card spot and trailing two other teams currently out of playoff position, too.
In addition to Story, Boston has been missing All-Star third baseman Rafael Devers, who has been on the IL since July 23 with right hamstring inflammation.
Cora said he expects him to join the team when it opens a series in Houston next week.
Devers leads the team with a .324 average and and 22 homers along with 55 RBIs.

CWG 2022: Defending Champions India Out Of Women's Team Event In Table Tennis
Manika Batra won one singles match and lost the other as the Indian team made a pre-mature exit from the tournament.
- Press Trust of India
- Updated: July 31, 2022 02:00 AM IST
Defending champions India, led by star paddler Manika Batra, crashed out of the women's table tennis team event in the Commonwealth Games after losing to Malaysia 3-2 in the quarterfinals here on Saturday. After recording an easy win in a group stage match earlier in the day, the Indian women's team lost to Malaysia in the last-eight stage. Batra won one singles match and lost the other as the Indian team made a pre-mature exit from the tournament.
India were on the backfoot after the pair of Reeth Tennison and Sreeja Akula lost the opening doubles match 1-3 (7-11 6-11 11-5 6-11) before Batra levelled the tie with a 3-2 (11-8 11-5 8-11 9-11 11-3) win over Ying Ho in the singles.
Akula then made amends of the doubles loss as she thrashed Li Sian Alice Chang 3-0 (11-6 11-6 11-9). But Batra failed to seal the tie for India as she lost to Karen Lyne 3-0 (6-11 3-11 9-11) in the crucial fourth match as Malaysia made another comeback in the tie.
Malaysia took advantage of the momentum as Ying Ho beat Tennison 3-2 (10-12 11-8 6-11 11-9 11-9 ) in a tight deciding match to break Indian hearts.
Earlier in the day, the Indian women's team had outclassed Guyana 3-0 in a Group 2 match.
The women's team, defending the title it had won at Gold Coast four years ago, had enjoyed a winning start to its campaign on Friday after crushing South Africa and Fiji by identical 3-0 margins.
On the second competition day, the first to turn up was the pair of Akula and Tennison and it steamrolled Natalie Cummings and Chealsea Edghill 11-5 11-7 11-7 to put India 1-0 ahead.
Then, reigning Commonwealth Games champion Batra, who became the first Indian paddler to win a gold in the women's singles in the last edition, decimated Thuraia Thomas in straight games 11-1 11-3 11-3.
In another woman's singles match, Tennison fought hard to register a 11-7 14-12 13-11 win against Chealsea Edghill, who put up a spirited show. Her win ensured that India won the tie convincingly.
The Indian men's team continued its impressive show by recording its second straight win with a 3-0 thrashing of Northern Ireland.
Veteran Achanta Sharath Kamal paired up with Harmeet Desai to beat James Skelton and Owen Cathcart 11-3 9-11 11-6 11-1 in men's doubles to hand India a 1-0 lead.
Sanil Shetty then beat Paul McCrerry 11-5 15-13 11-6 to extend India's lead.
Promoted
But Harmeet Desai had to dig deep before prevailing over Catchcart 5-11 11-9 12-14 11-3 11-6 in a hard-fought second singles match.

The Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs should make a decision to recall from Russia its employee, who made a scandal in one of the hotels in Murmansk. This was stated on July 30 by Vladimir Dzhabarov, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on International Affairs.
“It will be better for everyone if the Norwegian Foreign Ministry decides on its own to withdraw its employee from our country,” he wrote in Telegram.
Earlier on Saturday, a video circulated on the Web in which a certain woman expresses her dissatisfaction with the service to the staff of the Murmansk hotel. At the same time, she stated that she hates Russians. Later it became known that the heroine of the video is Elisabeth Ellingsen, an employee of the Norwegian consulate.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused Ellingsen of nationalism and xenophobia. She noted that the Russian Foreign Ministry “is working out options for responding to this outrageous act of hatred.”
At the same time, Andrey Chibis, Governor of the Murmansk Region, stressed that Russophobia would not be tolerated in the Russian Federation.
In turn, the Norwegian Foreign Ministry expressed regret over the incident. The department clarified that Ellingsen’s behavior does not reflect Norwegian politics or the attitude of Norwegians towards Russia and Russians.
Alexei Paramonov, director of the First European Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, said on March 19 that the struggle against everything Russian that has swept through Europe borders on outright racism. He expressed the hope that the European countries “will come to their senses, remember the deep interests of their peoples.”

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Daniil Kvyat spent nearly two years waiting anxiously to race again.
After being relegated to reserve driver for last year's Formula One season, he watched helplessly as his team withdrew from the world endurance series in March when the governing body imposed sanctions against Russians because of their country's invasion of Ukraine.
On Sunday, the ,28-year-old with three F1 podium finishes will finally take the green flag — as the first Russian to start a Cup race. He'll start 36th alongside Erik Jones on Indy's 14-turn, 2.439-mile road course.
“I was very excited to get in the car here," a relieved Kvyat said Saturday. "For me, it was like when the car started, ‘I was like, yes, we're going on track. Finally, we're going racing.' Yes, this is really cool, so yeah, very, very excited.”
Kvyat last competed at Abu Dhabi in mid-December 2020. He finished 13th in the race and 14th in points during the COVID-19-shortened season, posting seven top-10 results in 17 starts.
It wasn't enough to convince AlphaTauri to re-sign Kvyat and he settled for a second-tier job with the European-based Alpine Team.
Now, like other former F1 drivers, Kvyat seems to have found a new home on American soil.
He thanked NASCAR for opening its arms after he was spurned by FIA, and he hopes to follow in the footsteps of other international drivers who have made successful transitions from Europe.
Romain Grosjean posted two runner-up finishes on Indy's road course last year, his rookie IndyCar season. Two-time world champ Fernando Alonso nearly won the Indianapolis 500 in his debut year, and Juan Pablo Montoya won one of his two 500s and two Cup races after leaving F1.
Kvyat might not be at that level yet. But he's paired with Loris Hezemans, a 25-year-old Dutchman, on Team Hezeberg. Hezemans qualified 34th for the first European-based Cup team.
And Kvyat has already recognized some of the distinct challenges American racers face.
“In Formula One, it's a bit different. The sponsors, they choose you and they pay you — I always get paid," he said. “Here, you have to acquire your own people and I'm ready to acquire more people behind me."
Kvyat's team would appreciate a schedule expansion courtesy of additional sponsorship money. IndyCars could be an option, too.
But, for now, Kvyat is content with competing in as many races as possible this season, finding a full-time ride in the future and avoiding any more long layoffs.
“I'm very open-minded to perhaps do a full season here one day, maybe next year," he said. "But I need to get up to speed on the ovals, try oval racing and of course want to be competitive. I don't want to come to just drive. I want to be competitive. It means me being in the right place, getting the right experience, being in the right car.”

(WFLA) — Edgewell Personal Care Company issued a recall Friday for three batches of Banana Boat Hair & Scalp sunscreen sprays after an internal review of product samples found traces of benzene.
Benzene is a human carcinogen that can lead to leukemia, blood cancer in bone marrow, and other blood disorders. People typically are exposed to the chemical in their environment through skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion.
The chemical is not an ingredient in the sunscreen spray, but the FDA said that “unexpected levels of benzene” came out of the spray bottles’ propellant.
As of this report, Edgewater said it has not learned of any illnesses related to the presence of benzene in their products nor does the FDA believe exposure to the benzene in the sprays could be particularly dangerous.
“Daily exposure to benzene in the recalled products would not be expected to cause adverse health consequences according to an independent health assessment using established exposure modeling guidelines,” the FDA advisory said.
However, the FDA said that if you have the affected product, stop using it and throw it out.
The benzene is only linked to the three batches mentioned in the advisory. The FDA provided the following information on the batches affected by the recall:
The FDA said Edgewater has told retailers to remove any of the remaining products with the lot codes above from their shelves. If you own a Banana Boat sunscreen spray, you can find the lot code on the bottom of the can.
Those who purchased the affected products can be eligible for reimbursement from Banana Boat, according to the advisory.
If you have had an adverse reaction to the spray, you can report your situation to the FDA MedWatch.
If you have questions related to the recall, you can call Edgewell Personal Care at (888) 686-3988 Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. EDT or visit www.bananaboat.com. | https://www.wate.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/3-batches-of-banana-boat-sunscreen-sprays-recalled-due-to-traces-of-cancer-causing-chemical/ | 2022-07-30T21:08:17Z | https://www.wate.com/news/nexstar-media-wire/3-batches-of-banana-boat-sunscreen-sprays-recalled-due-to-traces-of-cancer-causing-chemical/ | true | 18 |

The Redeemed Christian Church of God, The Calvary Area Headquarters, Province 89, Oshodi, Lagos, has organised a medical outreach for residents of the community as part of activities to mark its 25th anniversary.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the medical outreach was organised in collaboration with Chike Okoli Foundation, Emzor Pharmaceuticals and Pharmatex Industries on Saturday in Lagos.
The medical outreach included free consultation, checking of blood pressure, blood sugar screening, eye tests and a general check-up, among others.
Mr Jeffrey Aganbi, the Pastor-In-Charge of the Area, said that no fewer than 600 adults and children benefited from the medical outreach.
Aganbi added that free drugs were dispensed to the beneficiaries based on their health conditions, saying that scores of children were dewormed as they went home with gift items.
According to him, the outreach, which has been on for over 10 years, is aimed at improving the well-being of people in the area.
The pastor said the water project was solely executed by the church to provide a source of water supply to residents of the community and its environs noting that access to water had been a great challenge within the community.
He urged the state government to intensify efforts toward making healthcare services available, affordable and accessible to people in the low-income communities.
“The major objective for the outreach is to bring healthcare services closer to the community at no cost at all, because access to medical care is a big challenge in Nigeria.
“A lot of people with one underlying ailment or the other are dying in silence because they can’t afford the exorbitant hospital bills.
“The water project is one of the church’s humanitarian gestures to mark its 25 years silver jubilee anniversary.
“As access to water has been a big problem to residents of the community, the church deemed it necessary to provide them with the borehole.
“And considering the economic condition of the country, if the government can make healthcare services available, affordable and accessible to masses, it will relieve a whole lot of burden on the masses,” Aganbi said.
The Medical Director, MacTayo Hospital, Dr. Chijindu David, urged the residents to take their health seriously and always go for medical check-ups, particularly to check their Blood Pressure level.
David, also a consulting doctor at the event, identified ignorance as the major contributing factor to the health conditions of most Nigerian adults, as many people with high blood pressure were not even aware that they had the condition.
According to him, high blood pressure is the leading cause of death among adults.
David said that regular check-up can help to avert some critical conditions of blood pressure that may lead to death.
He recommended that every family should have the blood pressure testing apparatus, to enable the elders in the family to keep a regular check of their BP.
“Every family is supposed to have the BP testing apparatus to enable them to maintain a regular check of their BP status.
“This is because high blood pressure as a silent killer is the leading cause of death now.
“And almost 90 per cent of the patients consulted here today are hypertensive, which a majority of them are not even aware that they have the condition because they don’t check,” David said.
Ms. Obiageli Adimachukwu, the Programme Coordinator, Chike Okoli Foundation, a non-governmental organisation, identified stress as a major factor causing the cardiovascular/heart conditions of most Nigerians.
According to her, the economic condition and hardships in the country are taking a toll on the residents, saying that the people are stressed out.
She advised that people should constantly check their sugar level, cholesterol level, eat healthy diet, have rest and exercise to avert conditions that might trigger high BP.
A representative of Emzor, Esther Ayo, said that the outreach was one the ways the company makes healthcare services accessible to people in the community, who might not afford hospital bills.
Ayo expressed the commitment of the company to continually collaborate with the RCCG to ensure that members of the church and residents of the area have access to healthcare services at no cost.
An elder in the church, Mr Godwin Ohadugha, lauded the church for the outreach, saying it was one of the numerous humanitarian gestures of the church to the community.
Ohadugha said that the church had organised a series of empowerment programmmes and seminars for the youths of the community and members of the church.
“Apart from the outreach, the church is so concerned about the welfare of the members; the church takes care of our children.
“Sometimes, the church sponsors of the children to learn some skills such as barbing, tailoring, hair dressing and other apprenticeship programmes.
“Before now, access to water was a big challenge, but by tomorrow a borehole water will be inaugurated for use by the residents, and the project is courtesy of the church,” he said.
A beneficiary of the outreach, Mr Bertram Oparaocha, appreciated the church for organising the outreach that provided an opportunity for many indigent citizens to access healthcare.
Oparaocha said that free drugs were given to him, having received many other free medical services at no cost.
He was optimistic that the gesture would attract more members and recognition for the church going forward.
Another beneficiary, Mrs Onyinyechi Chijindu, described the outreach as an “eye opener’ that lead to the revealing of her health condition.
Onyinyechi, said she never knew that she was hypertensive until she consulted with the doctor at the outreach.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Kayvon Thibodeaux and Evan Neal were acquaintances when the New York Giants drafted them with the fifth and seventh picks overall in the NFL Draft in late April.
It seems now they're linked in more ways than one: They are teammates and friends, two big men who've gone up against each other every day of training camp. And as the first week came to a close Saturday, the rookies also have been penciled in as starters and much is expected.
A linebacker and edge rusher from Oregon, Thibodeaux is going to line up on both sides in coordinator Wink Martindale's keep-them-guessing defense. Neal, who came out of Alabama and was the second of New York's first-round choices, has been at at right tackle since organized team activities in the spring.
“They have articulated that they’re counting on us, but I’m counting on myself to make the plays and live up to the goals I have for myself,” Thibodeaux said. “It’s been a great journey so far, and I know that they believe in us. And they’ve given us all the tools to continue to elevate. So, now it’s just up to us to make it happen.”
Neal and Thibodeaux occasionally had been matched up against each other in summer camps when they were in high school. Alabama and Oregon never met on the field in their college careers.
“It’s just so ironic that we ended up on the same NFL team,” Neal said. “I’m just excited to go against him every day, get each other better. I believe that iron sharpens iron.”
The Giants got the extra first round pick after making a trade with the Chicago Bears in the 2021 draft to drop down from from 12th pick overall to No. 20.
After five straight losing seasons, the Giants need Thibodeaux and Neal to perform well as rookies if things are going to start turning around under coach Brian Daboll. New York posted a 4-13 record in 2021.
Both have picked up the playbook quickly: Thibodeaux has shown ability to get to the passer and Neal has blocked well.
“He beats me some reps, I get him some reps. That’s what it’s all about, that’s the name of the game — getting better," Neal said.
However, the workouts have been in shorts and jerseys. Things change next week when the pads are put on.
Thibodeaux has gone from being a big, talkative personality in the early days after the draft to more businesslike since camp opened.
“You got to know how to compartmentalize,” Thibodeaux said. “There’s a time and place for everything. So, when we are on the field it’s all business, and now it’s training camp. We’re getting ready for a long journey.”
Neal said the two don't share notes off the field for fear of giving the other an advantage.
“We’ve just been putting our head down and we’ve been working,” Neal said.
The Giants will take that kind of attitude.
NOTES: Safety Dane Belton intercepted a Daniel Jones pass in the end zone. ... Cornerback Darnay Holmes forced a fumble by Saquon Barkley and defensive back Julian Love had a long return. ... Backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor showed his athleticism dunking the football over the crossbar after running for a touchdown.

Hungarian Grand Prix: In the space of 24 hours, F1 turned upside down
Last updated on .From the section Formula 1
In the space of 24 hours in Hungary this weekend, Formula 1 turned upside down.
On Friday afternoon, the Mercedes team were completely lost. Their car had been a second a lap off the pace in practice and the drivers stayed at the track with the team until 11pm trying to work out what to do about it.
It was work well done. On Saturday, their car was on pole position for the first time this season - a year in which their average deficit to the pace over one lap has been more than 0.8 seconds.
Mercedes were ahead of the qualifying kings of 2022, Ferrari. And world championship leader Max Verstappen's Red Bull was down in 10th place.
The man who did this was not the seven-time champion who has led Mercedes for the past eight years and set new records in the sport, but the man who the team signed to pick up the baton as Lewis Hamilton comes towards the end of his career.
George Russell became known as "Mr Saturday" in F1 for his outstanding performances in qualifying. This year, that sobriquet has become "Mr Consistency", for his record of finishing in the top five in every race. But at the Hungaroring Mr Saturday was back with a vengeance.
Until this weekend, the best among many excellent qualifying performances from Russell had been at last year's Belgian Grand Prix, when he stuck the second slowest car in the field on the front row in the wet, ahead of Hamilton.
Not any more. For Russell, this one topped it.
"Dare I say [it was] better than the Spa one?" he said, a little laugh seeming to suggest he almost couldn't believe what he was saying.
"The feeling of this pole and the feeling of that Spa lap, I don't think I will ever have qualifying laps that will come close to those two feelings because obviously this was my first.
"As a team we struggled so much at Williams. We were so far behind and to get that second was massive.
"This is what racing's about. This is why I wake up every day and want to be world champion, feelings like this. It's something you can't really dream of."
It might seem counter-intuitive that Russell would rank a lap around a dusty little circuit tucked in a natural amphitheatre about 12 miles outside Budapest in the dry, as better than one in the pouring rain around Spa, renowned as one of the greatest challenges for a racing driver on the planet.
But Russell said the uniqueness of the Hungaroring gave the extra satisfaction for him to rank it as the best of his career so far.
"I think the nature of this circuit, when you get everything absolutely hooked up, nothing comes close," he said, "because it's so fast and flowing every corner leads on to the next. So, it's difficult to compare, very different conditions, but for pure driving, probably the one today."
He added: "I think we just absolutely nailed today 100% and got every last millisecond out of it."
How did Russell and Mercedes do it?
Once the shock of seeing Russell's name at the top of the timesheets had registered, the next thought was how on Earth it had happened?
Russell had been eighth fastest on Friday, the car lacking grip; Hamilton was another 0.2secs back in 11th.
Things looked little better in the wet in final practice early on Saturday afternoon.
But suddenly in qualifying, things were looking up. The Mercedes were first and second fastest in the first session, relatively meaningless for the top teams, and looked decent in the second session, with Hamilton fifth and Russell seventh, just over 0.3secs off the pace.
And then Q3. Mercedes were helped by Verstappen's engine problem, and by a less-than-perfect final lap from Ferrari's Carlos Sainz. Had he nailed it, the Spaniard felt he would have been on pole. But he did not. And Russell most certainly did.

"I think we just got it perfectly in the window on the last lap," Russell said. "I went round Turn One and I was 0.15secs up, went around Turn Two, I was 0.3secs up, and everything was just perfectly in the window.
"And when you're on one of those laps and you're in the groove and the rhythm, it just keeps on coming."
In the Mercedes pit, they could not quite believe what they were seeing.
Team principal Toto Wolff said: "The first sector [time] came in and we saw the delta time running. And I remember saying to the engineers: 'I think we are playing for pole here.' And there was silence on the other side.
"And after sector two, I thought: 'Yes, it's going to be awfully tight.' These are the moments I cherish so much in F1. It comes unexpectedly, but the performance is really there and we do it."
Wolff added: "It is George's first pole and it will be always something special for him and us. It is a moment to remember.
"But George had these extraordinary performances in the junior series and he had it in Spa last year in the rain and today is just another milestone of the many he is going to achieve."
Even so, this would not have been possible on Friday, so what miracles had Mercedes pulled off to turn the car around to this extent?
"Yesterday was probably our toughest Friday of the whole season," Russell said.
"We were all here until 11pm last night scratching our heads, morale was pretty down and we felt pretty lost and to come back and come grab pole position 24 hours later is such a feeling, because I know what we went through last night.
"There were more chats of overall philosophy and if we're going in the right direction. As a team we have been closing the gap but yesterday was a disastrous day.
"We believed there were many reason as to why and they all added up to making us well over a second off the pace. But that felt like we were being a bit generous.
"And then to have a day like today… we definitely turned it around and we are probably back to where we kind of hoped to be."
Wolff said: "This season has been an oscillation between depression and exuberance and sometimes changing from day to day. And yesterday we tried things that didn't work at all, but which gave us a direction for today."
He praised both drivers for their resoluteness in the face of difficulty this season, but had special words for Russell.
"Yesterday, he showed leadership in the meeting," Wolff said. "He was the one that kept being positive about things and together these two drivers at different stages of their career were a tremendous force to keep the spirits high."
It was a bittersweet day, though. The joy for Russell was tempered by the feeling that Hamilton could have been up there, too, had it not been for his DRS overtaking aid breaking on his final run.
Can Russell win the race?
A first pole in Mercedes' least competitive season for 10 years was unthinkable until Saturday afternoon. Now Russell is there, a first win will be far from easy.
But the Hungaroring is a track where overtaking is notoriously difficult, Verstappen is probably out of the picture after an engine problem consigned him to 10th on the grid, and Ferrari's fragility this season - both strategically and with regard to reliability - always makes them look beatable.
Typically this year, the Mercedes has been a quicker race car, relative to Red Bull and Ferrari, than in qualifying. Russell said he will be "very shocked", though, if that is the case on Sunday.
Russell admitted that the Mercedes' race pace was: "A total unknown. We have turned the car upside down since yesterday, conditions have changed, it's going to be much cooler tomorrow.
"Our high-fuel pace was probably the worst it's ever been yesterday. And Ferrari looked pretty exceptional. We're behind the curve at the moment, but we will be absolutely going for it, and victory is what we're going for."
He added: "To be honest, I'm already thinking about the run off the line, Turn One, how I can try and keep the lead and what I am going to have to do to win the race.
"Getting a pole position is great but as I learned quite a lot last year and as I've also learned a lot this year. Saturday doesn't mean a huge amount - Sundays are when the points and prizes are won.
"This is a place where you need a good qualifying, no doubt, but still if you have a faster race car it counts for more than if you have a faster qualifying car.
"If it's a two- or three-stop race you won't be able to defend because the other cars can go [pit] early, they can go late and they will find a way past."
Even if the win turns out to be a step too far, though, this has been a seismic day for Mercedes in a difficult year.
"I am just so happy for what it means for us as a team, the progress we've made," Russell said.
"Obviously going into the summer break and qualifying like this was huge. So we'll do our best to have a great day tomorrow but we can be happy we have had at least one good Saturday from the first 12 or 13 races.
"It's clear we've had a difficult season. Qualifying historically has been one of my strengths. This year I have struggled a little bit, but Budapest is a circuit I've always liked, I've always been fast here and I always knew if the car and myself were working perfectly together, there is no reason why we can't achieve great things." | https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/62363089 | 2022-07-30T21:23:39Z | https://www.bbc.com/sport/formula1/62363089 | false | 3 |
16-month-old child dies from rare disease; family sharing story to help others
TIFTON, Ga. (WALB/Gray News) - A family in Georgia said their daughter recently died due to a rare neurological disorder, and they are sharing their story to help others.
The Wilkerson family said their baby, Emi, got a cold, but her health suddenly turned for the worse.
“I decided to see if she could fight it on her own. We had all the equipment at home. I used the oxygen to keep up with her breathing and we used the suction machine and breathing treatments,” Emi’s mother, Michelle Wilkerson, said.
But Emi’s condition reached a point where the family decided to take her to the hospital.
“When she got sickest, we called the paramedics and went to the hospital, but then she passed,” Wilkerson said.
Wilkerson said her daughter had a rare disease called KIF1A Associated Neurological Disorder.
The family said baby Emi died on July 22 at Wayne Memorial Hospital at 16 months old, with a funeral held on Tuesday.
“We’re going to live life to the fullest and help each other get through this because it is devastating,” Wilkerson said. “Just when you think you feel a little better, it hits you all over again.”
Emi’s mother said several parents who also lost a child to KIF1A have reached out to her in support. One mother shared a story about seeing a rainbow right after her child passed and knew it was a sign - something Wilkerson said she also witnessed in Emi’s passing.
“I ran out of the room and there was her rainbow. And I know why, with her body in my arms, she told me it was OK,” she said.
Wilkerson said being out of a job during this loss has been challenging, but she wants to use her foundation in Emi’s honor for the better.
“We want A Million Dreams for Emi to help alleviate some of that financial burden for families,” Wilkerson said.
Emi’s mother said the biggest lesson she learned from her daughter’s passing is to live in the moment and just enjoy life.

- Jake Mitchell (Florida) – 3:46.59
- Kieran Smith (Ridgefield Aquatic Club) – 3:48.48
Olympic bronze medalist Kieran Smith set the pace early on, holding between a half second a whole second lead for the first 300m. Texas Longhorn David Johnston stayed the closest to him for the first half of the race, but SwimAtlanta/Georgia’s Jake Magahey moved up with a 28.78 split on the fifth 50, and continued to power forwards.
Meanwhile, Olympian Jake Mitchell roughly matched Magahey’s splits over the last 150, but he’d had to work himself up from 5th place at the 250m mark. He didn’t have quite enough in the tank to catch Magahey, who touched first in 3:46.36. That’s a new personal best for the 2021 NCAA Champion in the 500 yard free. Mictchell took 2nd in 3:46.59, followed by Smith at 3:48.48.
Both Magahey and Mitchell have reportedly been dealing with health issues, as has Florida’s Bobby Finke, who scratched the 1500 free Tuesday due to non-Covid related illness, but took 4th tonight in in 3:48.99. | https://swimswam.com/jake-magahey-on-400-free-national-title-i-thought-just-swim-it-like-a-500/ | 2022-07-30T21:35:19Z | https://swimswam.com/jake-magahey-on-400-free-national-title-i-thought-just-swim-it-like-a-500/ | true | 2 |
KYIV, Ukraine — Russia launched nighttime attacks on several cities in Ukraine, Ukrainian officials said Saturday as they and officials in Moscow blamed each other for the deaths of dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war in a separatist-controlled area of the country's east.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the United Nations and the International Committee of the Red Cross have a duty to react after shelling of a prison complex in Donetsk province killed the POWS.
“It was a deliberate Russian war crime, a deliberate mass murder of Ukrainian prisoners of war,” Zelenskyy said in a video address late Friday. “There should be a clear legal recognition of Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism.”
Both sides alleged the attack on the prison was premeditated and intended to silence the Ukrainian prisoners and to destroy evidence, including of possible atrocities.
Russia claimed Ukraine’s military used U.S.-supplied precision rocket launchers to target the prison in Olenivka, a settlement controlled by the Moscow-backed Donetsk People’s Republic.
Separatist authorities and Russian officials said the attack killed 53 Ukrainian POWs and wounded another 75.
The International Committee of the Red Cross, which has organized civilian evacuations in the war and worked to monitor the treatment of POWS held by Russia and Ukraine, said it has requested access to the prison “to determine the health and condition of all the people present on-site at the time of the attack.”
“Our priority right now is making sure that the wounded receive life-saving treatment and that the bodies of those who lost their lives are dealt with in a dignified manner,” the Red Cross said in a statement.
Elsewhere in eastern Ukraine, Russian rockets hit a school building in Kharkiv, the country's second-largest city, overnight, and another attack occurred about an hour later, Mayor Ihor Terekhov said Saturday. There were no immediate reports of injuries.
The bus station in the city of Sloviansk also was hit, according to Mayor Vadim Lyakh. Sloviansk is near the front line of fighting as Russian and separatist forces try to take full control of the Donetsk region, one of two eastern provinces that Russia has recognized as sovereign states.
In southern Ukraine, one person was killed and six injured in shelling that hit a residential area in Mykolaiv, a significant port city, the region's administration said Saturday on Facebook.
Friday's attack on the prison reportedly killed Ukrainian soldiers who were captured in May after the fall of Mariupol, another port city where troops famously held out against a monthslong Russian siege.
Moscow opened a probe into the attack, sending a team to the site from Russia’s Investigative Committee, the country’s main criminal investigation agency. The state RIA Novosti agency reported that fragments of U.S.-supplied precision High Mobility Artillery Rocket System rockets were found at the site.
The Ukrainian military denied making any rocket or artillery strikes in Olenivka, and it accused the Russians of shelling the prison to cover up the alleged torture and execution of Ukrainians there.
The Institute for the Study of War, a think tank based in Washington, said the competing claims and limited information prevented assigning responsibility for the attack but that the “available visual evidence appears to support the Ukrainian claim more than the Russian.” | https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nation-world/ukraine/red-cross-requests-access-to-ukraine-prison/507-9b4404d7-5153-4c69-a18b-cd7b9a05ce5f | 2022-07-30T21:38:05Z | https://www.wcnc.com/article/news/nation-world/ukraine/red-cross-requests-access-to-ukraine-prison/507-9b4404d7-5153-4c69-a18b-cd7b9a05ce5f | true | 22 |
