The Mona Lisa may maintains her famously enigmatic smile because she benefits from one of Paris's best-kept secrets: an underground cooling system that has helped the Louvre cope with the sweltering heat that has broken temperature records across Europe.
The little-known "urban cold" network snakes beneath unsuspecting Parisians' feet at a depth of up to 98ft (30m), pumping icy water through 55 miles (89km) of labyrinthine pipes, which is used to chill the air in more than 700 sites.
The system, which uses electricity generated by renewable sources, is the largest in Europe - and chugs on around the clock with a deafening noise totally inaudible above ground.
Paris City Hall has now signed an ambitious contract to triple the size of the network by 2042 to 157 miles, which would make it the largest urban cooling system in the world.
The new contract aims to help the city to both adapt to and combat the threat of global warming. Many parts of Europe hit 40C (104F) in July.
The city is extending the cooling network to hospitals, schools and Metro stations over the next two decades.
It is unclear how much of the system will be operational by the time of the Paris Olympics in 2024, but it is possible the systems will be used at several Olympic sites.
Unbeknown to millions of tourists, the piping currently cools the City of Light's most emblematic sites, such as the Louvre and the Quai Branly Museum. It might even help cool the tempers of agitated politicians as it is used to reduce temperatures in the National Assembly.
The scheme is operated by the joint-venture company Fraicheur de Paris - 85% owned by the state's French energy company EDF and the rest by public transport operator RATP. The company's officials tout its benefits for the entire French capital.
"If all (Parisian) buildings get equipped with autonomous installations (such as air-conditioning), it will gradually create a very significant urban 'heat island' effect," said Maggie Schelfhaut, of Fraicheur de Paris, referring to the increased heat in cities due to less vegetation, which cools, and more urban infrastructure, which absorbs the sun's rays.
But she said that the pipe network could make the whole of Paris 1C (1.8F) cooler than if autonomous installations were put up across the city.
"One degree less in the city centre is a lot," she added.
Three of the 10 hi-tech cooling sites lie on the River Seine and are accessed by a retractable spiral staircase barely visible from street level - in something resembling the lair of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
When the Seine's water is cold enough, a machine captures it and uses it to chill the system's water. The heat created as a by-product is sent back into the Seine, where it is absorbed. The chilled water is then pumped though the system's pipes to its 730 Parisian clients.
Paris's cooling sites all use renewable energy sources such as wind turbines and solar panels. Four new solar energy sites which will feed into this network are also earmarked for construction.
French officials see this energy independence as particularly important given the threat of Russia cutting off energy supplies to Europe.
Russian energy corporation Gazprom on Wednesday cut the amount of natural gas flowing through a major pipeline from Russia to Europe to 20% of its capacity.
European nations are rushing to find alternatives amid fears that Russia could completely cut off gas exports - which are used for industry, to generate electricity and to cool homes - to try to gain political leverage over the bloc.
The merits of using a cooling system which uses renewable energy to operate are already being felt by sites that use them. The world's most visited museum, the Louvre, has benefited from the network since the 1990s - with officials proud of its ecological, economic and art conservation advantages.
"It allows us to benefit from energy with a lower carbon footprint available all year round," said Laurent Le Guedart, the Louvre's heritage director. "The particularity of the Louvre museum is that it needs to use ice-cold water to correctly conserve the artwork and to control the humidity."
The Louvre does not use air conditioning and officials say the cooling also gives them much-needed floor space in the sprawling, yet cramped, former palace that is home to 550,000 artworks.
Mr Le Guedart said the system is a money-saver given the rising cost of energy linked to the Ukraine conflict. It operates notably in the State Room of the Pavillon Denon where Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa lives.
"The energy bill of the Louvre is around 10 million euros per year in 2021. We are trying to control this bill as much as possible, amid the evident fluctuations and increases to energy costs," Mr Le Guedart said.
The system could save it millions by cushioning the shock as Russia continues to disrupt the energy market. | https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40930388.html | 2022-07-31T11:09:46Z | https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40930388.html | false | 17 |
EPA to impose rules for cleaner gas and cars
The Environmental Protection Agency will move ahead today with rules requiring cleaner gasoline and cars nationwide, despite fierce protests from the oil industry and some conservative Democrats, according to several individuals briefed on the matter.
The proposed rules -- which had been stuck in regulatory limbo since December 2011 in the face of intense political opposition -- would cut the amount of sulfur in U.S. gasoline by two-thirds and impose fleetwide pollution limits on new vehicles by 2017.
The regulation enjoys support from auto companies, state regulators, environmental groups and equipment manufacturers. But oil industry officials and their congressional allies argue the proposed standards would raise gasoline prices and could result in greater carbon dioxide emissions because they will spur additional refining activity.
Opponents estimate the standards would force refiners to spend $10 billion to upgrade their facilities and an additional $2.4 billion in annual operating costs, adding 6 to 9 cents to the cost of a gallon of gas.
Public health advocates say the ultimate cost would amount to less than a penny per gallon because of provisions giving refiners flexibility in complying with the standards.
S. William Becker, executive director of the National Association of Clean Air Agencies, said the new standard could be "the most significant air pollution policy President [Barack] Obama will adopt in his second term."
He said studies show the rules would produce up to $11 billion in annual health benefits by 2030.
Automakers have lobbied in favor of the rule because cleaner fuel nationwide will make it easier for them to meet emissions standards. | https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/epa-to-impose-rules-for-cleaner-gas-and-cars-e90262 | 2022-07-31T11:10:12Z | https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/epa-to-impose-rules-for-cleaner-gas-and-cars-e90262 | true | 1 |

IRVINE, Scotland (AP) — Lydia Ko was joined by Celine Boutier at the top of the leaderboard after day three of the Women’s Scottish Open on Saturday.
France’s Boutier shot a 5-under-par 67 — five birdies on the front nine — to make up four shots on the New Zealander, who could manage only a 1-under 71.
“I really like links golf and playing in windy conditions. I feel like my ball flight is pretty low and so I never really have trouble keeping it down which is an advantage here because the ball doesn’t get affected as much,” Boutier said. “And I had some good memories of playing well in the past so that’s always helpful.”
Ko offset three bogeys with a birdie finish at Dundonald Links.
“My irons were not as sharp so I don’t think I set myself up for as many easier kind of 15 feet and birdie opportunities,” she said. ”I know it wasn’t the best golf I’ve played, but I was able to scramble around. I don’t think it was as bad as I think, and I think because I had two really low rounds it makes me compare more to the past couple days.”
Canada’s Maude-Aimee Leblanc started and finished with birdies for a 66 which lifted her to second place alongside Germany’s Leonie Harm on 14 under, one shot off the lead.
Eun-Hee Ji of South Korea (70) and Lilia Vu of the United States (71) were two off the lead going into the last round.
No. 1-ranked Jin Young Ko was at 1 under overall, and defending champion Ryann O’Toole at 4 under.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — DeAndre Hopkins darted up the field Saturday at practice, made a quick cut and then a nice catch as Arizona Cardinals fans cheered in approval.
It’s a moment they won’t see again in the near future.
The Cardinals will play their first six games of the season without the three-time All-Pro receiver, who was suspended in May for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs. He can return Oct. 20 for a Thursday night game against the New Orleans Saints.
“It’s football, it’s life, I’ve been through worse things in life than having to sit out six games,” Hopkins said Saturday. “So for me, mentally, I think I’ve prepared for tough moments like this.”
Hopkins is still not exactly sure what caused him to test positive for a substance that he’s previously said was a small amount of Ostarine.
“I’ve never took a supplement, I’ve never took any of that kind of stuff,” Hopkins said. “Obviously, if you know about what it is, it can be a shampoo, it can be in a lot of different things. The NFL is very black and white, so of course, I wish the rule wasn’t so black and white, but it is what it is.”
There’s little doubt the suspension is a big blow for the Cardinals, who have played much better when Hopkins is on the field. Arizona was 8-2 last season in games that he played and 3-5 in games he missed, including a 34-11 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Wild Card round.
He caught 42 passes for 572 yards and eight touchdowns last season, but even more than the numbers, he’s valuable because opposing defenses have to give him so much attention.
“He lifts the entire offense when he’s out there,” Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury said. “He elevates our level of play. We saw it statistically when he was in, when he was out. The way he competes, the way he talks trash, everybody tends to step up when he’s out there.”
The 30-year-old Hopkins is allowed to practice and play in preseason games before his suspension begins in September. Kingsbury says it’s good to have him out on the field during camp, but they also want to make sure he stays healthy. He missed the final five games of last season because of a knee injury.
“You’ve got to save him from himself a little bit,” Kingsbury said. “We’re going to be smart. It does us no good to ramp him up like it’s Week 1 and he’s got two more months to sit.”
The Cardinals will lean on the newly acquired Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Rondale Moore and tight end Zach Ertz to fill the receiving void while Hopkins is out. Brown caught 91 passes for 1,007 yards and six touchdowns last season for the Ravens — big numbers in Baltimore’s run-heavy offense.
“We’ve got a great team,” Hopkins said. “I’m sure those guys will go out and get it done.”
NOTES: Kingsbury said RB James Conner and QB Kyler Murray were limited at practice on Saturday. Kingsbury said Murray has been “throwing a ton, he reported early with the rookies, so we’re going to rest his arm.” … Kingsbury said he hopes starting left tackle D.J. Humphries (illness) will be back on the field new week.

Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Georgia State, Indiana, Louisiana Tech, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M each placed two receivers apiece on the Biletnikoff Award watch list, which was released on Wednesday.
The Biletnikoff Award is presented annually to college football's top receiver. The award is named for Pro Football Hall of Famer Fred Biletnikoff, who played 14 seasons for the Oakland Raiders after a distinguished collegiate career at Florida State.
Texas A&M's duo on the watch list features Christian Kirk, who had 80 receptions for 1,009 yards and seven touchdowns in 2015. The Aggies' Josh Reynolds (51 catches, 907 yards, 5 TDs) also is on the watch list. Kirk posted those numbers as a freshman in 2015, and enters the 2016 season as the No. 6-rated wide receiver in college football, according to NFL Media analyst Lance Zierlein. The top-rated receiver is Alabama's Calvin Ridley, who also is entering his sophomore season and among two Crimson Tide receivers on the Biletnikoff Award watch list (the other is Gehrig Dieter, a graduate transfer from Bowling Green).
Corey Coleman of Baylor won the Biletnikoff Award last season and went on to be the No. 15 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft by the Cleveland Browns. Amari Cooper of Alabama won the award in 2014, and he earned a Pro Bowl nod in his rookie season with the Oakland Raiders.
The 10 semifinalists for the Biletnikoff Award will be announced on Nov. 14, and the three finalists will be revealed on Nov. 22. The winner will announced on Dec. 8.
Watch lists for other awards will be released this month as follows:

Odisha CM flags off electric buses and e-autos for Bhubaneswar city
Chief Minister of Odisha Naveen Patnaik flagged off 10 electric buses and 50 electric rickshaws for Bhubaneswar to reduce carbon emissions in the city. Patnaik shared these electric vehicles will promote sustainable mobility and the idea of ‘Sabuja Odisha.’ From 10, the number of electric buses will go up to 50 in the future and the state government will also focus on employing women in the operational process of these EVs.
At present, these 10 electric buses have 30 seats each, out of which those reserved for women have been marked in pink, added an official. One can avail a free ride in these electric buses till July 31.

Last year in August, Odisha became the tenth state to announce its electric vehicle policy. The Odisha EV policy focuses on promoting electric mobility in the state along with an aim to turn it into an EV manufacturing hub. This will enable innovation and facilitate research and development in the areas related to EVs and batteries, as stated by an official back then.
In the policy, Odisha has set a goal to reduce the usage of fossil fuels to bring down pollution. It is also aiming to attain 20 per cent registration of battery-operated electric vehicles out of the total vehicular registration by 2025. An earlier report stated a Neeti Aayog report according to which Odisha has a total fleet of 4,831 electric vehicles on road. And owing to the less number of EVs, there are only 18 charging stations at present in the state.
(Also read | Delhi govt to host fourth Electric Vehicle forum on August 10 )
Odisha government, this year, had also announced that it will provide a 15 per cent subsidy on the purchase of electric vehicles. For electric two-wheelers, the subsidy will be 15 per cent of the cost, a maximum of ₹5,000. For electric three-wheelers, the subsidy will go up to ₹10,000 while for electric four-wheelers, the amount has been set at ₹50,000.

As Jets cornerback D.J. Reed galavanted down the sideline for what would have been a 100-yard pick-six on Saturday off a pass from Zach Wilson, rookie corner Sauce Gardner ran alongside him the whole way. Gardner, the Jets’ first-round pick, was so excited that he did a backflip at the end of Reed’s run.
“I haven’t done a backflip since I was like 12 years old,” Gardner said, smiling.
Through the first week of coach Robert Saleh’s second training camp, the vibes are good. When practice started on Saturday — the first in front of fans — rookie offensive tackle Max Mitchell ran to the stands to pump everyone up. Everyone cheered when Gardner walked by at the start of practice. Later, linebacker C.J. Mosley got on fans for not getting loud enough after a big defensive play.
Laughs, cheers and celebration.
But what happens Monday matters more than any practice before it. That’s when the Jets will put on the pads and start hitting each other for the first time in training camp, after a day off Sunday.
“When the pads come on, it’s a different ballgame,” Gardner said.
Even though there hasn’t been hitting yet, plenty has happened through four practices at the Jets facility.
Here are seven reasons for optimism and three for concern heading into Monday’s practice and the rest of camp.
G-DUB!#BackTogetherSaturday on @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/cHzykVkuOe
— New York Jets (@nyjets) July 30, 2022
Seven reasons for optimism
1. Zach Wilson’s performance
The second-year quarterback hasn’t been perfect by any means, but it’s been mostly positive through four practices. Saturday was probably his worst practice as he completed only six of 14 passes, with a pick-six thrown to Reed in red zone drills, but otherwise, Wilson has flashed some of his significant potential. Especially in red zone team drills where he’s threaded the needle on a few impressive touchdown passes, including two in a row after the pick-six. The best came on Friday when he connected with a diving Corey Davis in coverage. He hit Jeff Smith in the back of the end zone on Saturday, too.
“I don’t know how he was last year, but I know this year he’s showing that he’s very confident,” Gardner said. “He’s showing that he’s arrived.”
When Wilson has struggled, it’s typically when he’s been under heavy pressure and has to rush to make a decision. That has been a bit too frequent of an occurrence so far, though left tackle George Fant being out hasn’t helped. Wilson and the Jets staff are clearly working on his ability to improvise, evade a pass rush and make something happen when a play breaks down, and there has been good and bad in that area. It’s a work in progress.
Friday, Wilson was on, except for three errant throws, two of which were picked off. The Jets have enough talent surrounding Wilson at running back, tight end and wide receiver that the team can live with some mistakes if they’re balanced out with big plays.
Wilson’s connection with wide receivers Elijah Moore and Corey Davis seems to be growing as both have made plays through four days. Running backs Michael Carter and Breece Hall already look like usable weapons for him out of the backfield, too.
If the offensive line can hold up, Wilson is at least in position to succeed based on his supporting cast.
Through three practices, he (unofficially) has completed 27 of 44 passes in 11-on-11 team drills.
2. Overall team health
The Jets aren’t completely healthy, but they got through the first few days of camp relatively unscathed. Left tackle George Fant is still working his way back from a knee injury but should be good to return by next week when pads go on. Same for wide receiver Braxton Berrios, who has sat out team drills with an unknown injury.
Saleh indicated rookie tight end Jeremy Ruckert could be back soon — he’s on the PUP list — though they have enough depth at the position now after signing veterans C.J. Uzomah and Tyler Conklin that they don’t need to rush him back.
It’s unclear what the timeline is for running back Tevin Coleman, placed on the non-football injury list before camp.
Defensive lineman Quinnen Williams walked off with trainers toward the end of Saturday’s practice after getting hit in the throat, but Saleh said he’ll be fine.
Otherwise, there haven’t been any new injuries to report through the first week.
3. Breece Hall: Real deal?
There’s a reason fans are already chanting “BREECE!” when Hall touches the ball as if he’s Bruce Springsteen: He’s been one of the stars of camp. The real test of his readiness will come when pads come on, which Saleh has pointed out multiple times.
Hall runs with an intriguing combo of decisiveness, power and agility for his size (6-foot-1, 220 pounds). He’s shown some flashes as a pass catcher out of the backfield, too.
“He’s got great patience as a runner,” Saleh said. “He’s explosive once he hits that second level.”
Carter has been hitting open holes with burst and has had a handful of runs and catches go for significant gains, though tackling isn’t allowed yet. Ty Johnson has made some plays, too.
The Hall-Carter duo at running back appears to be the most talented the Jets have had in a long time.

4. The wide receiver room
Elijah Moore, Corey Davis and rookie Garrett Wilson have all had their moments through four practices.
Wilson was the star on Saturday. He reeled in the catch of camp when he dove to catch an off-target pass from Zach Wilson. He also had an impressive catch and run on a pass from Joe Flacco and nearly had two other impressive catches, including trying to jump and reach over cornerback Brandin Echols to grab a too-short pass from Zach Wilson. It was unsuccessful, though close.
After that miss, Wilson walked over the sideline, the rookie receiver clearly frustrated.
“I hold myself to a really high standard,” Wilson said. “I like to think of myself as (capable of) making those plays. So no one is more upset with me than me after putting a ball like that on the ground. I feel like I am close, but I should be there now, I should be making those plays now. And until I am, I’m not going to be happy with myself.”
Saleh called Wilson “very, very athletic” with “unbelievable body control,” “great hands” and called him “wiggly” in and out of his breaks.
Moore also looks ready to take the next step after an impressive rookie season. He’s had the most success on deep passes, both from Zach Wilson and Flacco. Moore is likely in line to be Wilson’s No. 1 target, at least to start the season.
Davis has been targeted the most of any receiver if you combine his reps with Wilson and Flacco. He had one brutal drop (or maybe it was a fumble?) on Friday but otherwise has been making difficult, acrobatic catches and winning most 50/50 balls. He had an impressive toe-tapping touchdown catch in the corner of the end zone from Flacco on Saturday.
As for the backups, Jeff Smith had a touchdown during red zone drills on Saturday, and Rashard Davis, signed right before camp, has made three deep catches from Flacco in the last two days. Denzel Mims has mostly been a nonfactor.
5. Cornerback competition
If the secondary was the Jets’ biggest question mark heading into last season, it looks like a strength now. That starts at cornerback, where Reed looked like a No. 1 cornerback while Gardner and Bryce Hall duke it out on the other side.
Gardner and Hall have been switching off running with the starters each practice, and Saturday was Gardner’s day — and it was a good day for him. His best moment came when he kept Moore from beating him one-on-one down the field on a throw from Wilson. He was in lockstep with Moore the whole way and didn’t give him an inch, forcing the incompletion.
“My main goal: I just want to be the best,” Gardner said.
Rookie defensive end Jermaine Johnson called Gardner “special” and said he has “juice” and “does things the right way.”
Hall had an interception on Friday, but Gardner still seems like a safe bet to start Week 1.

6. Mekhi Becton’s progress
There was a lot made about offensive tackle Mekhi Becton’s fatigue at Thursday’s practice, but he’s clearly still working his way back into football shape after a year away — even if he physically looks better than he did in the spring. Saleh said he’s getting stronger with every rep at right tackle — which Saleh already announced he’ll be playing despite being drafted as a left tackle — and he had a couple of solid days back-to-back on Friday and Saturday.
He’s been beaten for sacks a few times, including by Martin on Saturday, but Saleh insists that defensive linemen are always going to have the upper hand until pads go on. Monday will be a big test for him.
The Jets’ offensive line has been solid in run blocking thus far, and Becton is part of that. too.
He’s not yet playing every single series in team drills — maybe he won’t throughout camp — and is still working his way back into football shape, but that’s fine for Week 1. Check back next week.

7. Backup QB situation
Last year, a lot was made of the Jets’ decision to go into training camp with no experienced quarterbacks. It came back to bite them. They aren’t making that mistake in 2022 — and Flacco thus far has shown that he still has something left in the tank at 37. He has completed more deep passes than any other quarterback and was dealing on Saturday.
He connected with Davis twice and had Moore down the field beating Bryce Hall for what would’ve been a long touchdown, but Hall illegally grabbed Moore to keep that from happening.
“He’s had so much success in this league, he knows how to prepare, he knows what defenses look like,” Saleh said. “He’s just got a way about him. I’ll stand by it, it’s not his job to mentor or coach anybody. His job is to come out and play.”
Three reasons for concern
1. Offensive line depth
This was a concern before camp and there has been nothing to dispel it. The Jets are relying on two tackles in Fant and Becton who are both coming off knee injuries. Becton played in only one game last season. Odds are, one or both of them won’t play all 17 games.
Chuma Edoga has filled in nicely for Fant at left tackle, but it was a disaster when Conor McDermott got reps there on Saturday. Fourth-round rookie Max Mitchell can play both tackle spots, but it might be too early to rely on him as a top backup. The interior is in better shape with experienced vets Dan Feeney and Nate Herbig as backups, but it wouldn’t be surprising if GM Joe Douglas at least finds a veteran tackle on the waiver wire after cutdown day to add some depth.
2. The kickers
There isn’t really a concern based on what’s transpired in camp — Greg Zuerlein and Eddy Pineiro have kicked field goals in front of the media during only one practice — but until the Jets find a reliable kicker, this will always be a concern. Both Zuerlein and Pineiro missed almost identical kicks (far left) from 50-plus on Friday.
If neither shows enough over the next few weeks, there’s often a talented kicker who finds his way into free agency, like when the Giants snagged Graham Gano in 2020 after he was cut by the Panthers. Since then, he’s been one of the NFL’s best kickers.
3. All the optimism
While the Jets have looked good through the first week of camp, it’s far too early to say that means anything. Even Saleh has tried to avoid making any serious evaluations based on what’s happened in practice thus far.
There will be actual hitting on Monday, and between those sorts of practices, joint practice with the Giants and the three preseason games, we’ll get a much better idea of what this team might be in 2022.
Signs are encouraging, but it’s too early for anyone to seriously get their hopes up.

The crowd at the K-pop Masterz concert on Friday, July 29, were in for a surprise as Sandara Park took the stage with her labelmate and “brother” BamBam of the K-pop group GOT7 during the latter’s “K-Pop Masterz in Manila” concert.
Sandara was not on the concert’s original lineup but was in the audience to support GOT7’s BamBam and and appeared onstage with BamBam at the show held at SM Mall of Asia Arena, as seen on the venue’s Facebook page yesterday, July 29.
RELATED STORY: South Korean star Sandara Park back in Manila
BamBam called Park to the stage where she proceeded to sing “I Don’t Care.” Park explained that she was not part of the lineup for the concert and only came to the event to support BamBam.
“What a totally unexpected day today! Came here to support my dear brother [BamBam] and I ended up performing onstage,” she said.

“Actually, hindi talaga ako special guest sa show. Came here just to support and watch lang talaga dapat. Kaya wala ako dalang damit pang-stage, puro beachwear lang dala ko,” she told fans.
Park arrived in the Philippines last Wednesday, July 27, after two years of not being in the country. Earlier in December 2021, she said that her Christmas wish was to perform for her Filipino fans. | https://filipinotimes.net/entertainment/2022/07/31/k-pop-masterz-in-manila-sandara-park-got7s-bambam-share-stage/ | 2022-07-31T11:58:42Z | https://filipinotimes.net/entertainment/2022/07/31/k-pop-masterz-in-manila-sandara-park-got7s-bambam-share-stage/ | false | 1 |

Dana White on UFC: ‘You never know what’s going to happen’
Of this much, UFC president Dana White is certain:
“I’ve learned through the years, don’t underestimate what can happen or try not to put myself in a box anymore on what we would or wouldn’t do because you never know what’s going to happen,” White said.
“No women,” he said, paraphrasing himself from several years ago when he said women would never fight in the octagon.
Now, there are two female divisions, three seasons of “The Ultimate Fighter” that featured women, and one of the biggest stars in history in Ronda Rousey.
“Wouldn’t let a guy hold two belts,” White said, again paraphrasing one of his past common quotes that’s not exactly happening anymore.
Reigning featherweight champion Conor McGregor is scheduled to challenge lightweight champion Rafael dos Anjos in March at UFC 196.
“You never know,” White said. “I just kind of go with it now.”
Both of those guidelines were changed by stars of the sport.
And a third star is close to making his return shortly. Jon Jones, who was stripped of his light heavyweight title and suspended last April, was reinstated in October. He will fight champion Daniel Cormier at a date to be announced, possibly as soon as April.
So, what if Jones (21-1) regains his light heavyweight title then wants to challenge for the heavyweight title and possibly hold two titles at the same time?
“I wouldn’t want to see that happen, but again, I’m not going to say no anymore,” White said. “But I just don’t think Jon is a guy who wants to fight four times a year.” | https://www.newsday.com/sports/mixed-martial-arts/dana-white-on-ufc-you-never-know-what-s-going-to-happen-q72533 | 2022-07-31T12:07:29Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/mixed-martial-arts/dana-white-on-ufc-you-never-know-what-s-going-to-happen-q72533 | false | 1 |
BEIJING, China -- The speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, confirmed Sunday she will visit four Asian countries this week but made no mention of a possible stop in Taiwan that has riled Beijing, which claims the island democracy as its own territory.
Pelosi said in a statement she is leading a congressional delegation to Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan to discuss trade, the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, security and "democratic governance."
Pelosi has yet to confirm news reports that she might visit Taiwan. Chinese President Xi Jinping warned against meddling in Beijing's dealings with the island in a phone call Thursday with his American counterpart, Joe Biden.
Beijing sees official American contact with Taiwan as encouragement to make its decades-old de facto independence permanent.
Pelosi, head of one of three branches of the U.S. government, would be the highest-ranking elected American official to visit Taiwan since then-Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997.
"Under the strong leadership of President Biden, America is firmly committed to smart, strategic engagement in the region, understanding that a free and flourishing Indo-Pacific is crucial to prosperity in our nation and around the globe," Pelosi's statement said.
Taiwan and China split in 1949 after the communists won a civil war on the mainland. Both sides say they are one country but disagree over which government is entitled to national leadership. They have no official relations but are linked by billions of dollars of trade and investment.
The United States switched diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979, but maintains informal relations with the island. Washington is obligated by federal law to see that Taiwan's government has the means to defend itself.
Beijing has given no details of how it might react if Pelosi goes to Taiwan, but the Ministry of Defense warned last week the military would take "strong measures to thwart any external interference." The foreign ministry said, "those who play with fire will perish by it."
The ruling party's military wing, the People's Liberation Army, has flown growing numbers of fighter planes and bombers around Taiwan to intimidate the island.
"The Air Force's multi-type fighter jets fly around the treasured island of the motherland, tempering and enhancing the ability to maintain national sovereignty and territorial integrity," military spokesman Col. Shen Jinke said on Sunday, referring to Taiwan.
Pelosi said her delegation includes U.S. Reps. Gregory Meeks, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee; Mark Takano, chairman of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs; Suzan DelBene, vice chair of the House Ways and Means Committee; Raja Krishnamoorthi, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence and chair of the Subcommittee on Economic and Consumer Policy of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, and Andy Kim, a member of the House Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees. | https://abc7news.com/nancy-pelosi-taiwan-trip-to-asia-china/12087934/ | 2022-07-31T12:09:51Z | https://abc7news.com/nancy-pelosi-taiwan-trip-to-asia-china/12087934/ | true | 11 |
Denmark contributes up to $7.5m to Iraq's transition to stability, security and recovery
Denmark has reconfirmed its commitment to strengthening Security Sector Reform in Iraq by in 2022 providing approximately $US 1.6 million to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Iraq.
In total, Denmark plans to contribute up to $US 7.5 million until 2025.
Activities under the agreement include providing technical assistance to the Office of National Security Advisor (ONSA) to draft and implement the National Security Strategy; training of mid-ranking local police officers to strengthen the capacity of law enforcement, criminal justice and security actors; and fostering social cohesion by offering vocational training to disengaged former volunteer fighters who fought against Daesh.
Danish Ambassador, Stig Paolo Piras, said:
"Denmark maintains its commitment to supporting Iraq's transition to stability, security and recovery. The strengthening of local police is important in the transition from green to blue security."
Resident Representative of UNDP Iraq, Ms Zena Ali Ahmad, said:
"From social cohesion and preventing violent extremism, to stabilization, to reforming Iraq's security sector, Denmark has been a longstanding supporter of UNDP Iraq's work. We are extremely grateful for this additional contribution which will be instrumental in helping to build a peaceful and more secure Iraq, strengthening the many services and institutions that the Iraqi people are increasingly relying on."

The Police Command in Enugu State has said it has launched an investigation to unravel and locate the missing Nollywood actress, Cynthia Okereke and Clenson Cornel.
The command said this in a statement issued by its Public Relations Officer, DSP Daniel Ndukwe on Saturday in Enugu.
Ndukwe said, “the current report at our disposal dwells on a case of abandoned and recovered vehicle, as well as missing person.”
He said that the vehicle was abandoned and recovered at Four-Corners on Enugu-Port-Harcourt Expressway, precisely within Ozalla community in Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State axis of the road.
“On July 29, at about 7:30a.m., we received information that a red-coloured Toyota RAV4 Jeep with registration number AGL 199 CY was noticed to have been parked in an abandoned way at Four-Corners on Enugu-Port-Harcourt Expressway.
“Hence, the location was visited and the vehicle recovered.
“Coincidentally, at about 11:30a.m., of same date, a report was further received stating that the vehicle belongs to one Cynthia Okereke (f), a Nollywood Actress, who was last seen on July 26,” he said.
The police spokesman said that the report at the command’s disposal revealed that only one person was reported to be missing.
However, Director of Communications, Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN), Mrs Monalisa Chinda-Coker, said that the families of actress Okereke and actor Clenson Cornel confirmed that they had not returned home since leaving a film location at Ozalla community.
Chinda-Coker, in a statement, said: “The two members of the Actors Guild of Nigeria, Okereke and Cornel alias Agbogidi were suspected missing after their family members confirmed they didn’t come back from a film location at Ozalla community.
“The two members were suspected to have been kidnapped and this has increased fear among members about the safety of actors filming in the country.”
Reacting to the development, National President of the Guild, Mr Rollas Ejezie, instructed all actors to avoid going to the outskirt of cities to film except full security cover was provided to ensure their safety.
He expressed shock over the ugly development while urging the security agencies to speed up investigation that would lead to their safe rescue. | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/entertainment/Police-launch-investigation-to-locate-missing-Nollywood-veterans-1593536 | 2022-07-31T12:18:09Z | https://mobile.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/entertainment/Police-launch-investigation-to-locate-missing-Nollywood-veterans-1593536 | false | 3 |

Fact: affirmations can be life-changing. Also fact: maintaining a positive self-view is not always easy for many. Here are 20 self-affirmations to help you show yourself the love and respect that you deserve.
It is true that positive self-affirmations are not a substitute for professional help such as therapy for when you are feeling anxious or depressed. But if you are looking for some love language for yourself to uplift yourself on a bad day, then this is the way to go out. From forming better mental health habits to improving self-esteem, what you affirm for yourself plays a great role in your life. But let’s first understand what self-affirmation is.
[Hero and Featured Image Credit: Ian Taylor/Unsplash]
What is self-affirmation?
Originally popularised by Claude Steele in the late 1980s, self-affirmation is a psychological theory that focuses on how individuals adapt to information or experiences that are threatening to their self-concept. Positive self-affirmation can be acts that affirm an individual’s self-worth, often by having them reflect on their core values. This, in turn, may you a broader and unbiased view of yourself. This way one can move beyond self-threats and insecurities that hold them back and prove as a challenge to their self-esteem and integrity.
To sum up, self-affirmations are positive reminders or statements to encourage and motivate yourself.
What are some positive self-affirmations that you can have?
The one thing to remember here is that nobody else is responsible for yourself. Hence, in order to take care of one’s own self, a healthy mind is as essential as a healthy body. Having a set of positive self-affirmations is a great way to look forward to something every morning when you wake up and just have a more positive outlook towards life.

'Why fear if you are innocent?': Eknath Shinde to Sanjay Raut over ED searches
"If somebody is terrified of the ED's acts, they should not join us or the BJP," Shinde said. He asserted that the investigative agency is "doing its thing" and that the Supreme Court should intervene if the ED operates in fear of the Central government.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut's home was raided by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde questioned the legislator as to why he was terrified if he had done nothing illegal. Additionally, CM Shinde stated that if the Sena leader has done nothing illegal, he need not be afraid of anything.
There is no need for Raut to be afraid because Raut has said that he has done nothing wrong. "If somebody is terrified of the ED's acts, they should not join us or the BJP," he continued. Eknath Shinde denied claims of political vengeance by claiming that the ED has already undertaken investigations. Shinde asserted that the investigative agency is "doing its thing" and that the Supreme Court should intervene if the ED operates in fear of the Central government.
Talking to reporters in Aurangabad, Shinde said, "Raut has declared that he has not done anything wrong. If that is so, why fear a probe? Let it happen. Why fear if you are innocent?"

Former minister Girish Mahajan said, "Sanjay Raut is unnecessarily invoking late Balasaheb Thackeray and instigating Sena workers against the Union government. He should not be afraid of anything if he is had done nothing wrong." He further said, "I don't understand why he is tweeting and recalling late Balasaheb Thackeray. People must trust the government and judiciary."
The ED team arrived at Sanjay Raut's Mumbai home early on July 31 in order to perform a raid. The ED was looking into Raut in relation to a money laundering case involving suspected irregularities in the redevelopment of a Mumbai "chawl," among other things. In a tweet after the agency began the search at his place, Raut said, "I swear by late Balasabheb Thackeray that I have nothing to do with any scam."

The investigation agency had already summoned Raut on July 20, which he ignored and advised them through counsel that he could only attend after August 7 because of the ongoing Parliamentary session. On July 1, he made a statement that was once recorded. In the case, the ED had attached Raut's properties in Dadar and Alibag.

Former dinner lady who tipped the scales at 22st reveals how she shed 12st in 18 months because she wanted to be an active grandmother
- Alison Berry lost 12 stone in just 18 months after the birth of her first grandson
- The former dinner lady, aged 63, from South Tyneside, weighed 22st
- Being hospitalised was a massive wake up call and she transformed her life
A former dinner lady has revealed how she shed 12st in just 18 months because she wanted to live to see her grandson grow up.
At her heaviest, Alison Berry, 63, weighed 22st and was heavily dependent on medication she needed for diverticulitis, a debilitating condition that was causing her to go to the toilet up to 40 times a day.
Alison, from South Tyneside, had been overweight her entire adult life and was in denial over how long she had to adopt lasting healthy habits.
But that all changed after she suffered a bad flare up of her condition, which resulted in Alison being gravely ill and hospitalised.

Thankfully she survived, which was a massive wake up call, as she realised that time was running out.
After embarking on her healthy food plan and a simple walking routine, Alison shed 11st 7lb in 18 months and is medication free.
Reflecting on her journey so far, Alison explains how her decision to finally shed the weight came after her daughter gave birth to her first grandson, Joseph.
She said: 'I cried myself to sleep often worrying that my life would be cut short by my medical condition and weight. Then my daughter in-law gave birth to my first adorable grandson Joseph.
'My daughter in-law and son asked if I would look after him for two days a week when she returned to work, and it was all I wanted to do.
'I wanted to be the best Nana ever who could take her grandchildren everywhere, play on the floor with them, take them swimming, climb inside their pop-up tents and chase them round the garden.
'The reality is that I couldn't even cut my own toenails, and I certainly couldn't fit inside the tents.'

After embarking on a healthy food plan and a simple walking routine, Alison shed 11st.7lb in 18 months and is medication free
Something had to change, and quickly, and having tried 'every diet under the sun to no avail', Alison joined Slimming World at her heaviest and started using products from The Skinny Food Co.
She loves homemade meals, especially homemade burgers, and uses the brand's low-calories sauces to make healthy substitutions.
She says: 'I don't just have a sweet tooth, I have a mouth filled with sweet teeth - it was a real problem.'
Alison (pictured before weight loss) revealed how she would start every day with a full-fat can of coke with a handful of chocolate bars for breakfast and would then graze all day whilst at work

Alison describes how she would have a full-fat can of coke with a handful of chocolate bars for breakfast and would then graze all day whilst at work.
Nowadays, Alison describes herself as an 'adrenaline junkie' trying to make up for lost time, making the most out of every single day.
She says: 'I was once asked to step off a fairground ride because I was too big to fit inside the safety strap.
'Since then, I've been on the world's fastest zip-line, fire walks, completed a tree-top assault course, and I'm absolutely desperate to do a wing-walk. Life is good now I've lost my weight.'
From being gravely ill and thinking her life was at a standstill, Alison is now medication-free and more confident than ever.

She said: 'Don't wait a minute longer - your new life is waiting for you, no matter your age or circumstance.
'I won't say losing weight was easy, but with determination it sure is worth it. Leave that old, sad life behind and take the plunge.
'Take each day as it comes and enjoy the process. I used to be afraid of walking to the shop in case people laughed at me, now I walk with my head held high with a big smile on my face - and you can too.'
Alison added: 'I used to hide in the background and make fat-jokes about myself, trying to beat others to the punchline - now I live life with a big smile on my face and enjoy every minute.

In the run-up to the festive season, companies across sectors have started boosting the temporary workforce to meet the expected growth in customer demand.
Gig work aggregator Shadowfax which works with companies like Flipkart, Meesho, Nykaa, etc, expects to hire 1,05,000 workers for this festive season, which is double the number of temporary workers hired for last festive season (55,000 hires), Praharsh Chandra, Co-founder and Chief of Operations, Shadowfax told BusinessLine.
Similarly, Gig marketplace Taskmo currently completing around 5,00,000 gig jobs per month, expects to achieve over 10,00,000 jobs during the festive season. To put this in context, Taskmo had completed only 2,00,000 tasks per month during the last festival month.
Prashant Janadri, Co-founder of Taskmo, said, “As the covid-induced-tailwinds and the fear of third-wave lingered around, the festive season in 2021 hadn’t noticed much growth. As borders opened, travelling, purchasing behaviour, supply of products/services also saw subsequent growth.”
Gig job opportunities
The economy’s gradual recovery has also led to the growth of the gig job opportunities. As per the May 2022 report of Taskmo Gig Index, the platform has witnessed over 50 per cent growth in the number of active gig workers compared to last year.
Further, Taskmo Gig Index in June 2022 saw a 66 per cent sequential growth over May as e-commerce firms like Flipkart and Amazon created many direct and indirect gig jobs for the festive sale season. “5,00,000 gig tasks were offered in June as compared to 3,00,000 gig tasks offered in May 2022,” according to Taskmo.
Amazon’s move
Amazon Indiaemains committed to creating work opportunities and investing in India. Every year, the company strengthens its teams significantly with thousands of seasonal associates working across Amazon’s operations network ahead of the festival season to enhance the shopping experience for its customers and enable faster deliveries.
“In 2021, we created more than 1,10,000 seasonal work opportunities, which helped elevate Amazon’s fulfilment and delivery capabilities to meet the surge in customer demand during the festive season This year too, we will welcome seasonal associates as they join our associates at Amazon’s fulfilment centers and delivery network across the country,” an Amazon spokesperson added.

The auction of the 5G spectrum capable of offering ultra-high-speed internet entered the sixth day of bidding on Sunday after receiving bids worth 1,49,966 crore in the first five days from players like Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel.
The bidding resumed on Sunday morning with the 31st round, and the subsequent round is currently underway, according to sources.
The pitched battle in Uttar Pradesh East circle — where demand for 1800 MHz had peaked since Wednesday — seems to be cooling off now, indicating that the auctions may be entering the final leg, according to industry sources.
As of Saturday, the total value of bids in the telecom spectrum auction had come within the striking distance of the ₹1.50 lakh crore mark.
"The 5G auction shows that the industry wants to expand. It has come out of problems and is getting into a growth phase. The auction results aregood close to ₹1,49,966 crore has been committed by the industry for buying the spectrum," Telecom Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said at a briefing in Mumbai.
Companies in the race
Mukesh Ambani's Reliance Jio, Sunil Mittal-led Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea and a unit of Gautam Adani's Adani Enterprises are in the race to bid for the 5G spectrum, which offers speeds about 10 times faster than 4G, lag-free connectivity and can enable billions of connected devices to share data in real-time.
Besides powering ultra-low latency connections, which allow downloading full-length high-quality video or movie to a mobile device in a matter of seconds (even in crowded areas), the Fifth Generation or 5G would enable solutions, including e-health, connected vehicles, more-immersive augmented reality and metaverse experiences, life-saving use cases, and advanced mobile cloud gaming.
Incrementally, ₹111-112 crore came in on Saturday, the provisional proceeds rising from the ₹1,49,855 crore received till Friday from players, such as Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel.
After a flying start on Tuesday that saw players pouring in ₹1.45 lakh crore on the first day, the numbers moved up only incrementally over Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday as Jio and Airtel engaged in intense bidding in Uttar Pradesh East circle for 1800 MHz band. In all, 72 GHz (gigahertz) of radiowaves worth at least ₹4.3 lakh crore is on the block.
The auction is being held for spectrum in various low (600 MHz, 700 MHz, 800 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz, 2100 MHz, 2300 MHz, 2500 MHz), mid (3300 MHz) and high (26 GHz) frequency bands.

Growing up, thriller author Megan Miranda spent time at her grandparent's house in the Poconos. There wasn't any cell service — it was just her and her family out there in the woods, cut off from society. "During the day, it would be this grand adventure," recalls Miranda. "But at night I would just stare out into the darkness thinking, 'what is out there?' "
So began Miranda's long obsession with the duality of nature — at once, a beautiful serene place, and also, with just a slight change of perspective, a terrifying one.
"You step inside the woods and it feels like legends can almost be real," she says on a recent hike near her home in North Carolina. "It's a place where things are hidden, but also you can hide. It's just a great place for thrillers."
Nature — woods, lakes, and the ocean — has become a consistent, often menacing character in Miranda's more than a dozen thrillers. Her latest novel, The Last To Vanish, takes readers to a small hiking town in North Carolina, pushed up against the Appalachian Trail. There, 7 people have disappeared in the woods over the last 25 years. Were they all accidents — hikers doomed by nature — or was it something more sinister?
As we hike through the wetlands trail near Miranda's home, the green trees glisten from recent rain, the air thick with moisture. The woods are lush and full in mid-July and you can't really see past 20 feet. It was on a hike just like this that the idea for Last to Vanish came to her.
"It had just rained," explains Miranda as we walk, "and inside the woods, it still sounded like it was raining. I took out my phone right then and started taking notes. It reminded me of this idea of echoes of the past, of a town where everything you are seeing already happened. I went home and started writing immediately."
That seed of an idea turned into a much more complex web. The main character, a young woman named Abby, is an outsider who moved to the small fictional town of Cutters Pass a decade ago. She works at the inn at the base of the mountain, the last place so many hikers were seen alive.
From The Last To Vanish:
He arrived at night in the middle of a downpour. The type of conditions more suitable for a disappearance. I was alone in the lobby, removing the hand-carved walking sticks from the barrel behind the registration desk, replacing them with our stash of sleek navy umbrellas when someone pushed through one of the double doors at the entrance. The sound of rain cascading over the gutters, the rustle of hiking pants, the screech of boots on polished floors. A man stood just inside as the door fell shut behind him, with nothing but a black raincoat and some sob story about his camping plans. Nothing to be afraid of. The weather. A hiker.
The room where Miranda writes her thrillers is on the second floor of her home in Davidson, North Carolina. There are elements of her new book around the room: hiking sticks she and her husband got on a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains lean against a bookshelf and there are pictures of her and her family hiking, hung up around her desk.
Her method of writing includes keeping spreadsheets that detail the story. "I don't have a murder wall," Miranda explains with a laugh, "it's all on a piece of paper." Columns include dates, plot points, major turning points (ex: a body is found), and clues (ex: there's glass in her toes, blood in the hall but nowhere else.)
She pulls out the spreadsheet for The Last To Vanish. "I'll try not to give any spoilers," she says as she trails her finger down the page. It lands on a clue halfway down: a window is left open in a cabin. "I remember writing that and thinking like, is that something I will use or is that something I won't use?" she says. It's not giving away too much to divulge that the open window ends up being important.
A thriller writer who is scared of many things
On our hike, we pass a pond filled with frogs. We stop to listen, enchanted by the sounds of the woods. The recent rain has made the trail muddy, and as we navigate a few patches, I notice Miranda is deep in thought; her writing brain spinning. Spending time in the woods can do that to you.
"Right now, I was like, 'What would this be like to run on when it's a little muddier?' How can I use that? It changes so much, whether it's been rainy, or what season of the year it is." She looks off to the side of the trail, into the dense landscape of trees and bushes. "You know, we're focused on the trail right now, but there's this whole other part to it where you'd get quite tangled if you ran away," I ask her if she's always thinking about running away. "I'm not," she says laughing, "I just have that on my mind."
Growing up, Miranda's mom was an avid mystery book reader who brought her daughter to the library once a week. Miranda remembers leaving the library holding a stack of books. Nancy Drew was an early favorite — but she's always loved books that had an element of wilderness to them: Hatchet, Where The Red Fern Grows, and Bridge to Terabithia.
The question of the unknown — the what-ifs — was always alluring to Miranda, who started solving mysteries, first in the field of science — working in biotech after college and becoming a high school science teacher — before she tried her hand at writing thrillers.
As we make our way down the trail, I ask Miranda what scares her. "I have an overactive imagination, so I am afraid of many things," she says. She's especially afraid of being alone in the woods at night. Feeling vulnerable and on edge, not knowing what else is out there. "The idea that you hear footsteps behind you and you can't see it and they stop when you stop," she says, "that to me is this terrifying idea." That feeling when the hair on the back of your neck stands up, you feel the tension in your shoulders, and you have a sharp focus on just getting to safety — that's the feeling Miranda is trying to capture in her books.
And yet, it's intriguing that someone who spends her life writing books with tension and murder is seemingly afraid of most things. How does someone who scares so easily, not just read — but write — thrillers?
"I think it's almost a safe way to explore it," she says, "It is like you're taking a journey and you know you're making it through to the other side. I think there is a comforting element and that relief at the end of it." Because in fiction, unlike in life, the murders and the mysteries have a resolution, or an answer or an explanation, which is really the safest way to feel scared.

Halsey took their million of fans inside iconic makeup routine as the singer, who uses she/they pronouns, effortlessly channeled Marilyn Monroe's look.
Taking to Instagram on Saturday, the Experiment On Me star gave fans a glimpse of her new look featuring bold red lips and tousled curls.
The 27-year-old singer captioned the series of gorgeous photos, “a Marilyn Mon-red moment?”
Meanwhile, Halsey has been openly expressing her thoughts about feeling ‘most authentic’ by including ‘they’ in her IG bio and embracing motherhood.
Taking to her social media account, the singer wrote, “I thought pregnancy would give me very strong, binary feelings about ‘womanhood’.”
“But truly, it has leveled my perception of gender entirely. My sensitivity to my body has made me hyper aware of my humanness and that’s all,” she added. | https://www.geo.tv/latest/430945-watch-halsey-effortlessly-pulls-off-marilyn-monroe-inspired-look | 2022-07-31T13:16:28Z | https://www.geo.tv/latest/430945-watch-halsey-effortlessly-pulls-off-marilyn-monroe-inspired-look | true | 1 |
Chelsea agree £12m transfer for wonderkid goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina from Chicago Fire but will loan him straight back
Chelsea have reached an agreement to sign Chicago Fire goalkeeper Gabriel Slonina.
The Blues have won the race for Slonina, 18, who was also linked with Real Madrid and Wolves throughout the summer transfer window.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the West Londoners have reached a $15million (£12m) deal with Chicago and the highly-rated keeper is expected to undergo a medical on Sunday in London.
However, the USA international will be sent back to the MLS outfit on loan and will complete the season in the US until January when he links up with Thomas Tuchel's side.
Romano tweeted: "Gaga Slonina to Chelsea, here we go! Agreement with Chicago Fire for $15m, add-ons included.
"Talented GK and his agent will fly to London on Sunday to complete medical and sign.
"Slonina will finish the season with Chicago before joining Chelsea on January 1."
Chelsea reached a verbal agreement with Chicago Fire earlier this month with new owner Todd Boehly handling negotiations himself.
The Premier League giants are making way for the young keeper as Kepa Arrizabalaga is close to a loan move to Napoli.
That could see Marcus Bettinelli getting promoted as Edouard Mendy's back-up between the sticks.

Slonina has impressed at Chicago ever since his debut last year as he has amassed a total of 34 appearances across all competitions.
The 18-year-old already has 10 clean sheets under his belt this season and is chasing the MLS record of 17 with 11 more games to go. | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9238195/chelsea-transfer-news-gabriel-slonina-chicago-fire/ | 2022-07-31T13:16:40Z | https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/9238195/chelsea-transfer-news-gabriel-slonina-chicago-fire/ | true | 4 |

TF Qualifying Result: 2nd
What were you talking with Shawn Langdon about following your Q2 run?
“We were talking about Super Comp stuff. This is what we do because we do it, but he (Shawn Langdon) races Super Comp and my old man is in Topeka. I think it may have pushed a head gasket out. We were running pretty good down through there and then we were just bantering back and forth. He said I took him at the line by two or three hundredths, but he’s way better at that stuff than I am. I’m just holding on trying not to run over anything or anybody.”
SHAWN LANGDON, DHL Toyota Top Fuel Dragster, Kalitta Motorsports
TF Qualifying Result: 6th
Do you feel your car has been waking up in recent weeks and this weekend in Seattle?
“They’ve been doing a good job and with the heat up here, we’re just trying to make good runs down the track. Made a good run on Friday and that’s where we’ve been struggling a little bit and getting behind the eight ball. This DHL team did a great job getting good runs yesterday and today.”
JUSTIN ASHLEY, Phillips Connect Toyota Top Fuel Dragster, Davis Motorsports
TF Qualifying Result: 7th
How do you feel about the weather conditions for tomorrow’s race and your performance?
“Right now it’s just about how strong this team has performed and in weather like this, it’s important to be consistent. To go up there as a driver and be comfortable in the race car and to go up there and run a 3.85 twice in a row really speaks volumes of this team. We’re excited and we’re looking forward to race day. We have a lot of folks from Phillips Connect here and all of our sponsors. It’s time for race day.”
ALEXIS DEJORIA, Bandero Tequila Toyota GR Supra Funny Car, DC Motorsports
FC Qualifying Result: 2nd
How important is this number two qualifier spot for tomorrow’s race?
“We’re definitely not in Sonoma anymore. It’s a hot track out here in Seattle, but a beautiful, beautiful place. Great fans. We qualified number two with our Bandero Toyota GR Supra and it carried through from Friday night and really happy about that. We got some bonus points Friday. We tried to step it up this last run, but just dropped a hole early and ended up smoking the tires at the top end. But hey, we’re back and we’re back in the top-three again and qualifying really well. We’ve got a great car and I’m excited to race tomorrow. I got to come out early and spend some time with the Seattle Seahawks and meet the head coach, Pete Carroll. I did fan girl a little bit because I’ve seen him win championships and that guy’s a badass. He’s about the same age as my dad and super healthy. Good luck to that team! That was a great opportunity – thanks to Toyota.”
How do you feel heading into the Countdown in a few weeks with your recent performance?
“The Countdown is coming up and this a great time for our team to get hot. You don’t want to peak too early and you don’t want to peak too late. It’s the right time right now. I believe we’ve solidified a good spot in the Pep Boys All-Star Callout and just feeling good. We’re excited about tomorrow and we’ll see what happens.”
J.R. TODD, DHL Toyota GR Supra Funny Car, Kalitta Motorsports
FC Qualifying Result: 7th
Is this team making progress as we head towards the Countdown?
“Our back half numbers are right there at the top, we’re just giving up a lot early. We’re kind of experimenting here today with it being a light field so hopefully that gives us some momentum going into the later part of the season where we need to make it count. This DHL Toyota GR Supra definitely isn’t qualifying where we want it to be, but anything can happen. First round tomorrow is going to be in the morning so that will make things more interesting.”

Bayern Munich beat Leipzig 5-3 to win German Super Cup
Sadio Mané scored to help Bayern Munich defeat Leipzig 5-3 and win the German Super Cup, when Bayer Leverkusen and Cologne were upset in the first round of the German Cup.
Jamal Musiala, Mané and Benjamin Pavard all scored in the first half as 10-time Bundesliga champion Bayern threatened a rout in Leipzig. But the visitors needed Leroy Sané to seal the win in the eighth minute of injury time after Marcel Halstenberg, Christopher Nkunku and Daniel Olmo pulled Leipzig back into the game. Serge Gnabry also scored for Bayern.
The annual super cup between the league and cup champions is traditionally the curtainraiser for the new German season, but it was denied that honor due to a congested schedule with cup games taking place already on Friday and earlier Saturday, when third-division club Elversberg stunned Leverkusen 4-3.
Patrik Schick scored late for Leverkusen – which finished third in the Bundesliga last season – but Elversberg survived four minutes of injury time to reach the second round.
Cologne lost to second-division team Jahn Regensburg 4-3 on penalties after their game ended 2-2 with extra time. It was a repeat of their previous meeting in February 2021.
Wolfsburg, the other Bundesliga team in action, edged fourth-tier Carl Zeiss Jena 1-0.
Paderborn routed fifth-tier Einheit Wernigerode 10-0, while second-division rivals Hamburger SV, St. Pauli, Fortuna Düsseldorf, Greuther Fürth and Heidenheim all came through their respective games.
Borussia Dortmund and Stuttgart progressed on Friday.
Bayern's and Leipzig's cup games were postponed to the end of August due to their participation in the super cup.

PSG and Chelsea could lock horns in the transfer market once again this summer, with the two clubs interested in the services of Leicester City defender Wesley Fofana.
According to French outlet Le10Sport, PSG are looking to strengthen their options at the heart of defence after recently signing Nordi Mukiele from RB Leipzig on a five-year deal.
Newly appointed sporting director Luis Campos is said to have identified Fofana, 21, as the perfect option to bolster their ranks this summer. However, the Parisians will face serious competition from Chelsea, who are also interested in the Leicester City defender after missing out on Jules Kounde this month.
As per the aforementioned report, the player isn't opposed to the idea of leaving the King Power Stadium this summer. However, both Chelsea and PSG will need to submit around €60 million to snap up the centre-back.
The player's market value, though, stands at €40 million, according to Transfermarkt. It remains to be seen either club snap him up before the transfer window shuts.
Chelsea and PSG's transfer activities so far this summer
It's been a quite busy at Stamford Bridge so far. The Blues have recorded multiple departures, with Romelu Lukaku joining Inter Milan on loan. Meanwhile, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Danny Drinkwater left on free transfers.
Chelsea have also added a few new names to their ranks. They signed winger Raheem Sterling from Manchester City in a deal worth €56 million. They also snapped up centre-back Kalidou Koulibaly from Napoli for €38 million. Conor Gallagher, meanwhile, has returned from his loan spell at Crystal Palace.
PSG signed Vitinha, Nuno Mendes and Nurdi Mukiele to their ranks, while offloading players like Alphonse Areola and Marcin Bulka. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/rumour-psg-eyeing-move-21-year-old-chelsea-target-reports | 2022-07-31T13:22:55Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/rumour-psg-eyeing-move-21-year-old-chelsea-target-reports | false | 1 |

Seattle Sounders, LA Galaxy draw in Schmetzer, Lodeiro’s debut
SEATTLE — Cristian Roldan scored his second goal of the season in the 49th minute to give Seattle the lead, but a defensive miscue late allowed Los Angeles’ Sebastian Lleget to score the equalizer in the 78th minute as the Sounders and Galaxy finished in a 1-1 tie.
Seattle was in position to get the victory in the debut of interim head coach Brian Schmetzer, taking over this week after the club and Sigi Schmid parted ways. Yet the frustrating season for the Sounders (6-12-3) continued after missing numerous chances to put the game away in the second half.
Roldan’s goal was his second of the season off an assist from Nelson Valdez. But Seattle’s defense that broke down in the closing minutes, allowing a chipped pass by Steven Gerrard to find Lletget unmarked at the back post to tap in his first goal since Aug. 23, 2015.
Seattle missed out on a needed three points in its attempt to get back into the playoff race in the Western Conference, but came away hopeful about what newly signed designated player Nicolas Lodeiro can provide. Despite arriving in Seattle on Tuesday, Lodeiro was the best player on the field. His playmaking created numerous chances for others and he nearly scored three times in the second half, his last chance a deflected shot that forced Los Angeles goalkeeper Brian Rowe to make a fingertip save.
Los Angeles defender Jelle Van Damme also saved two shots off the goal line, one in each half. Van Damme denied Clint Dempsey’s shot in the first half then raced back on stuff Jordan Morris’ shot in the 70th minute after Morris was sent free on a pass by Lodeiro and dribbled around Rowe.
The Galaxy (9-3-9) came away with a point despite playing without U.S. national team midfielder Gyasi Zardes, who missed the match with a strained chest muscle.
Seattle played its first game in franchise history without Schmid as the head coach. Schmid was appointed to navigate the franchise through its infancy beginning with its expansion season in 2009, but the relationship reached a breaking point this season with the Sounders slogging through the worst four months in club history and culminating with last Tuesday’s decision between Schmid and the club to part ways.
Schmetzer, Schmid’s top assistant from the outset, was tabbed as the interim head coach. He was the first in a week of changes for Seattle that included the signing of Lodeiro as the Sounders’ newest designated player and the return of midfielder Alvaro Fernandez for his second stint in Seattle. | https://www.newsday.com/sports/soccer/seattle-sounders-la-galaxy-draw-in-schmetzer-lodeiro-s-debut-c87417 | 2022-07-31T13:48:14Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/soccer/seattle-sounders-la-galaxy-draw-in-schmetzer-lodeiro-s-debut-c87417 | true | 1 |

Hyderabad: Stating that the transport industry is in a huge crisis, the Telangana State Cabs and Bus Operators Association (TSCBOA), the representative body of transport and tour operators in the state, on Sunday strongly condemned the increase in road tax by Rs 300 per seat. It also condemned the hike in green tax from Rs 200 to Rs 4000 per annum and its linking with regular road tax.
“The hike will increase road tax by Rs 15,000 for a 50-seater bus. This is a huge burden on the already ailing transport industry and most operators might have to shut down their businesses if the Telangana Government does not come to our rescue,” said TSCBOA President Syed Nizamuddin.
Syed Nizamuddin said that the lockdown period of nearly two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic ruined the industry. Almost 60 percent of vehicles owned by transport operators have either been seized by the banks or other financial firms for non-payment of EMIs or taken off the road by the operators. Consequently, some operators are trying to revive their business with just 40 percent of the remaining vehicles, he said.
“Our industry is badly hit due to the rise in diesel prices, increase in insurance premiums and other operational costs. We are struggling hard for our survival. In these circumstances, the hike in Road Tax and Green Tax has increased our burden,” he expressed.
The TSCBOA President said that the state government has increased the road tax by Rs 300 per seat. The diesel, which used to cost Rs. 50-60 per litre earlier, is now costing over Rs 100. The vehicle insurance amount has almost doubled from Rs 35,000 in the past to about Rs 70,000 now.
Syed Nizamuddin said that it would take another two-three years for the complete revival of the transport industry in Telangana. Therefore, he demanded that the state government withdraw the hike in road tax and waive off the green tax for at least two years if it wants the transport industry to survive.
He added that the transport industry was planning to give a representation to chief minister K Chandrashekar Rao and transport minister Puvvada Ajay Kumar requesting them to support the industry in this hour of crisis. | https://www.siasat.com/transport-operators-condemn-hike-in-road-green-taxes-and-their-linking-2380754/ | 2022-07-31T13:58:09Z | https://www.siasat.com/transport-operators-condemn-hike-in-road-green-taxes-and-their-linking-2380754/ | true | 1 |
Russia hits southern Ukraine city of Mykolaiv, killing grain exporter, wife: Governor
Heavy Russian strikes hit the southern Ukrainian port city of Mykolaiv overnight and early on Sunday, killing the owner of one of the country’s largest grain producing and exporting companies, the local governor said.
Oleksiy Vadatursky, founder and owner of agriculture company Nibulon and his wife, were killed in their home, Mykolaiv Governor Vitaliy Kim said on Telegram.
For the latest headlines, follow our Google News channel online or via the app.
Headquartered in Mykolaiv, a strategically important city that borders the Russia-occupied Kherson region, Nibulon specializes in the production and export of wheat, barley, and corn, and it has its own fleet and shipyard.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy described Vadatursky’s death as “a great loss for all of Ukraine,” saying in a statement the businessman had been in the process of building a modern grain market involving a network of transhipment terminals and elevators.
Three people were also wounded in the attacks on Mikolaiv, the city’s Mayor Oleksandr Senkevych told Ukrainian television, adding 12 missiles had hit homes and educational facilities. He earlier described the strikes as “probably the most powerful” on the city of the entire five-month-old war.
Up to 50 Grad rockets hit residential areas in another southern city, Nikopol, on Sunday morning, Dnipropetrovsk Governor Valentyn Reznichenko wrote on Telegram. One person was wounded.

Japan PM Kishida’s Support Sinks in Kyodo Poll Amid Covid Spike
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s approval rating sank to the lowest since he took office last October in a Kyodo News poll as the nation sees a resurgence in coronavirus cases.
The public opinion survey, which was taken this weekend, showed that his cabinet’s support rate dropped by 12.2 percentage points from a poll conducted on July 11 and 12 to 51%.
As the nation’s coronavirus cases spike, those expressing support for the government’s Covid-19 response fell by 7.7 points to 53.3%, according to the poll. More than 60% of responds showed discontent with how the administration is tackling the recent rise in prices, the survey also showed.
Japan is now recording the highest weekly coronavirus cases in the world, according to data compiled by the World Health Organization, with 1.33 million cases logged in the past seven day, followed by the US with 903,803 cases.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Government on Sunday reported 31,541 new coronavirus infections. The capital’s daily record was on Thursday with 40,406 cases logged.

As for her dress, Kelly opted for a gorgeous ivory gown, complete with full-length lace sleeves. She accessoried her beautiful wedding look with an embellished tiara and matching lace veil.
Jeremy shared a post-ceremony snap
Her stunning brunette tresses were worn in natural waves and as for shoes, the star chose simple white pointed-toe heels for the occasion.
Fans were delighted to see updates from the couple's incredible day on their respective social media accounts that documented so many sweet moments.
One post from Jeremy showed the newly-weds post ceremony in the back of their wedding car. Captioning the photo he penned: "Just married," alongside an array of wedding-themed emojis.

Fans flocked to comment on the beautiful image. One penned: "My goodness, congrats lovely!! So happy for you guys!" A second wrote: "Congratulations Kelly and Jeremy. You have your happily ever after," with four red love hearts.

BEIJING (AP) — Debris from a rocket that boosted part of China’s new space station into orbit fell into the sea in the Philippines on Sunday, the Chinese government announced.
Most of the final stage of the Long March-5B rocket burned up after entering the atmosphere at 12:55 a.m., the China Manned Space Agency reported. The agency said earlier the booster would be allowed to fall unguided.
The announcement gave no details of whether remaining debris fell on land or sea but said the “landing area” was at 119 degrees east longitude and 9.1 degrees north latitude. That is in waters southeast of the Philippine city of Puerto Princesa on the island of Palawan.
There was no immediate word from Philippine authorities about whether anyone on the ground was affected.
China has faced criticism for allowing rocket stages to fall to Earth uncontrolled twice before. NASA accused Beijing last year of “failing to meet responsible standards regarding their space debris” after parts of a Chinese rocket landed in the Indian Ocean.
The country’s first space station, Tiangong-1, crashed into the Pacific Ocean in 2016 after Beijing confirmed it lost control. An 18-ton rocket fell uncontrolled in May 2020.
China also faced criticism after using a missile to destroy one of its defunct weather satellites in 2007, creating a field of debris that other governments said might jeopardize other satellites.
The July 24 launch of the Long March-5B, China’s most-powerful rocket, carried the Wentian laboratory into orbit. It was attached on Monday to the Tianhe main module, where three astronauts live.
The remains of a separate cargo spacecraft that serviced the station fell into a predetermined area of the South Pacific after most of it burned up on reentry, the government announced earlier. | https://www.wjtv.com/news/china-says-remains-of-rocket-booster-fall-to-earth/ | 2022-07-31T14:23:42Z | https://www.wjtv.com/news/china-says-remains-of-rocket-booster-fall-to-earth/ | false | 29 |

BAGHDAD (AP) — Hundreds of followers of an influential Shiite cleric were camped out Sunday inside the Iraqi parliament, after toppling security walls around the building and storming in the previous day.
The protesters — followers of Iraqi Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr — pledged to hold an open-ended sit-in to derail efforts by their rivals from Iran-backed political groups to form the country's next government.
The developments have catapulted Iraq's politics to center stage, plunging the country deeper into a political crisis as a power struggle unfolds between the two major Shiite groups.
On Sunday, the sit-in appeared more of a joyous celebration that a political protest — followers of Iraqi Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr were dancing, praying and chanting slogans inside the parliament, in praise of their leader.
In between, they took naps on mattresses lining the grand halls.
It was a scene starkly different from the one on Saturday, when the protesters used ropes and chains to topple cement walls around the heavily fortified Green Zone in Baghdad, then flooded into the assembly building. It was the second such breach last week, but this time they did not disperse peacefully.
Iraqi security forces fired tear gas and sun grenades at first, to try to repel the demonstrators. The Ministry of Health said about 125 people were injured in the violence — 100 protesters and 25 members of the security forces. Within a few hours, the police backed off, leaving the parliament to the protesters.
Outside the building, garbage from food packages and other trash littered the street leading up to the parliament gate while trucks bused in giant couldrons of steaming rice and beans to feed the protesters.
There was also humor inside the parliament Sunday among al-Sadr's followers.
One protester, Haidar Jameel assumed the seat of Parliament Speaker Mohammed Halbousi — among the most powerful political figures in Iraq — and from it, looked on at his rowdy fellow protesters in the assembly.
After al-Sadr's followers took over the parliament, Halbousi suspended future sessions until further notice.
“This is an open-ended sit-in, we will not return until our demands are met,” he declared.
Boxes of bottled water were piled up on the street and tents were erected. A small child handed out sweets, teenagers sold juice from sacks.
The takeover of the parliament showed al-Sadr was using his large grassroots following as a pressure tactic against his rivals in the Coordination Framework — an alliance of Shiite parties backed by Iran and lead by former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki — after his party was not able to form a government despite having won the largest number of seats in the federal elections held last October.
Neither side appears willing to concede and al-Sadr seems intent on derailing government formation efforts by the Iran-backed groups. | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Iraq-cleric-s-followers-camped-out-in-parliament-17341196.php | 2022-07-31T14:24:43Z | https://www.thetelegraph.com/news/article/Iraq-cleric-s-followers-camped-out-in-parliament-17341196.php | false | 11 |

Letter: GOP leader shouldn't blame media
In his letter to the editor, Nassau GOP chairman Joseph Mondello places the blame for Kate Murray's loss in the district attorney race squarely on the shoulders of Newsday .
His tirade was totally expected and entirely unnecessary. His condescension in his opinion of Nassau's electorate is palpable. When the GOP pick comes out in the losing column, Mondello likes to blame publications like Newsday for their "full-throttled support" for the Democratic candidate, instead of acknowledging the media's attempt to help voters see through the political fog.
The green grass is dying, replaced by a forest of overgrown weeds made up of incompetence, corruption and hubris.

(WGN) — It’s an invisible disease and a rare condition that starts in childhood. It’s a devastating diagnosis, but there is some new progress toward treating neurofibromatosis — or NF.
The first sign is a distinctive marking on the skin, something that looks like a birthmark. But what lies beneath can cause debilitating symptoms and damage to vital structures in the body.
Three-year-old Sam Mohideen has NF, and looking at him alongside his siblings, Max and Maria, you’d never know his health challenges.
“Sam is a ball of energy but he is also the happiest, kindest third child that I know,” said his father, Shahan Mohideen. “He loves his family. He loves being in the thick of it. He is fearless, and he is just fun.”
Dr. Robert Listernick, an academic general pediatrician with Lurie Children’s Hospital, said the first sign of the condition is typically a birthmark.
“In young children, usually the presenting sign is birthmarks that we call ‘café au lait’ spots, coffee with milk,” Listernick said. “We call them birthmarks, but they are often not present at birth but develop in the first several years of life.”
Erin Mohideen, Sam’s mother, said that’s what she thought the marks on her son were.
“I thought they were birthmarks, honestly,” Sam’s mother Erin Mohideen said. “He had a few freckles. He had a few ‘café au lait spots,’ and so I thought, ‘Look at this special kid with some different skin, that’s OK, right?’”
What looks like a birthmark is an indication of a deeper problem — a tumor that runs all the way down Sam’s arm to the base of his thumb. The benign lesion, called a plexiform neurofibroma, arises from the nerve covering. It’s too complex to be removed.
“Unfortunately, it’s involving the brachial plexis, which is a big bundle of nerves here which might affect function,” Listernick said, pointing to a location near the armpit.
But there’s now hope for children with the condition.
“2020 was a horrible year for the world. For the NF community, it was a great year because we now have the first FDA-approved drug,” Listernick said.
Patients with neurofibromatosis lack a gene that suppresses tumor growth. A type of drug known as a biologic, Selumetinib, can prevent growth and actually shrink lesions while taking away the pain.
Erin and Shahan Mohideen recently learned Sam has more lesions.
“He has additional tumors near his spine, in his chest cavity, on his neck and then one in the back of his brain,” Erin Mohideen said. “I don’t know what the future holds. We don’t know what that looks like.”
For patients with the inherited disease, tumors range in size and location and can cause damage to bones, organs and nerves. Some patients are born with scoliosis or develop it over time.
“About 15% of children with NF1 develop a tumor on the optic nerve and that can cause vision loss,” Listernick added.
Listernick the new treatment will be “a life changer for many patients with NF1.”
“Knowing that that is an option and knowing that is in our back pocket in case something goes wrong with Sam is great,” Shahan Mohideen said.
Right now, the soon-to-be preschooler is carefree and not hindered by his condition.
“Knowing and showing his resilience and zest for life in battling through this I think is important to show,” Shahan Mohideen said.
The Children’s Tumor Foundation has resources for patients and families. Sam’s family also has a team for the Shine A Light NF Walk.

Chelsea have ‘opening bid for Arsenal target Cesare Casadei transfer rejected with £6.7m offer miles off £17m valuation’
CHELSEA have reportedly been knocked back in their approach for Cesare Casadei after Inter Milan rejected their £6.7million opening offer.
The 19-year-old midfielder has been linked with a move away from the San Siro this summer after earning rave reviews in academy matches.
Casadei enjoyed a superb 2021-22 season for Inter's second team, where he chipped in with 17 goals and five assists in 40 games in all competitions.
Not only was he the club's top scorer, but he was also named as their best youngster.
And according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea have failed with a £6.7m offer for the Italy U-19 youth international.
They state that Inter would rather the player depart on loan, with Sassuolo and Torino keen to agree a temporary deal.
But Chelsea aren't giving up on their pursuit of the teenager, with La Repubblica insisting they are preparing a new offer.
Though it has been said that Inter will refuse to part ways with Casadei unless they receive a fee in the region of £17m.
They also declare that they face competition from London rivals Arsenal in the race to secure his services.
It has been claimed that the Gunners have made an enquiry for the youngster.

But it is believed that it is Chelsea that are leading the race to sign him should he depart Inter on a permanent transfer.
It also remains to be seen as to whether Inter would want to include a buy-back option in any deal.
Casadei isn't the only midfielder on Chelsea's radar, with the West Londoners poised to make an offer for Barcelona's Frenkie De Jong.
A move to Chelsea was touted last earlier this month after new owner Todd Boehly met with Blaugrana president Joan Laporta.
And now according to Sport, they are set to turn their interest into a formal offer.
They state that the Blues have informed Barcelona that they intend to make a bid to secure De Jong's services imminently. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/19377122/chelsea-cesare-casedei-bid-rejected-inter-milan/ | 2022-07-31T14:53:33Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/19377122/chelsea-cesare-casedei-bid-rejected-inter-milan/ | true | 4 |
Matthew Moczygemba knew something was wrong when he lost his thirst. It was midafternoon on a 103-degree day in Fort Worth, Texas, and the UPS driver had been delivering packages for several hours. Soon he felt dizzy, then he pulled his truck over and vomited onto the curb.
“I stopped sweating and was starting to get cold,” said Moczygemba, 35, who has worked for UPS for five years. “It was a bad feeling.”
Moczygemba wound up at a hospital emergency room, where doctors diagnosed him with dehydration and heat exhaustion, and gave him several bags of IV fluid, according to medical records. | https://www.click2houston.com/news/2022/07/31/sending-drivers-out-to-die-ups-workers-demand-heat-safety-amid-record-temps/ | 2022-07-31T14:54:37Z | https://www.click2houston.com/news/2022/07/31/sending-drivers-out-to-die-ups-workers-demand-heat-safety-amid-record-temps/ | true | null |

6 Signs You Can’t Afford To Buy a House
Buying a home can help provide a stable future for you and your family, but it can also cause financial uncertainty. In most cases, it is the largest and most important purchase that you will make.
Find Out: 9 Bills You Should Never Put on Autopay
See: Unplug These Appliances That Hike Up Your Electricity Bill
Ultimately buying a home is a long-term investment that requires an in-depth understanding of your income, debt and potential expenses. Failing to take into account the big picture can have a devastating financial impact down the road. Find out the signs that should make you think twice before buying a house.
You Do Not Have a Steady Paycheck
One of the most important considerations when buying a home is whether you have steady income. Buying a house may not be the best option if your paycheck fluctuates significantly each month or year to year.
Purchasing a property is about the long game. In most cases, you are signing a 15- or 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, meaning your payments are not going to go down unless you are able to take advantage of lower interest rates and refinance.
If you are uncertain whether your income will remain at its current level for the foreseeable future, you may want to think twice about tying your money up in real estate. Never count on income that is not guaranteed, and remember, just because you can afford a mortgage now does not mean that you will be able to later.
See: 6 Alternative Investments To Consider for Diversification in 2022
It Is a Large Portion of Your Monthly Income
It is a red flag if your mortgage payment will consume a large portion of your paycheck. A good rule of thumb is that your mortgage payment should not exceed 30% of your gross monthly income. Anything over could make it difficult for you to afford other living expenses.
It is essential to know that in addition to your mortgage payment, you will have other costs, including property taxes, insurance, utilities, association fees and maintenance. You need to factor in all the potential expenses related to your home and ensure that you make enough to cover them.
You Don't Have Savings
A warning sign that you may not be able to afford a house is if you don't have a rainy day fund. It can be tempting to empty out your savings in order to buy a home, but what happens if you lose your job or an unexpected expense comes up?
Depleting your savings to buy a house may do more harm than good. If you don't have a cushion, are living paycheck to paycheck or can only make the minimum payments on your credit cards, you should consider evaluating your financial situation before taking the leap into homeownership.
You Can't Afford the Down Payment
One of the biggest obstacles for first-time homeowners is coming up with the down payment. Depending on the loan, you may need to come up with 10%-20% of the purchase price. While there are assistance programs available, it may be worth taking a second look at a lower-priced home.
Putting more money down can help reduce your monthly payments, saving you thousands of dollars over the course of the loan, but you need to be able to come up with the money first. If you cannot put 20% down, you may have to purchase private mortgage insurance (PMI). PMI protects the lender if you are unable to make your mortgage payments on a conventional loan and can add significantly to your expenses.
You Are Taking From Your Retirement Account
Early withdrawals from your retirement account are heavily discouraged. The Internal Revenue Service notes that there is an additional 10% tax on early distributions (before reaching 59 ½ years of age) taken from a traditional or Roth IRA.
One of the few exceptions to this rule is if the money is used in a qualified first-time home purchase. While the exception exists, using it might not be the best idea. Retirement accounts are designed to prepare you for the future.
Dipping into the account early may put you in a difficult financial position down the road. Taking from your retirement account for a down payment on a house should be a last resort and may be a strong indication that you cannot afford to buy the house.
You Don't Have Good Credit
Finally, good credit goes a long way. A high credit score can help you obtain favorable terms on your loan, making your monthly payments more manageable. A low credit score can have the opposite effect. If you don't have good credit, take some time to get your affairs in order.
Look at your debt-to-income ratio, unsecured debt and credit limits. Try to pay off high-interest credit cards and get payments in on time. Late or missed payments can heavily influence your credit rating. A low credit score means you are a higher risk to a lender, which can result in a higher interest rate.
Bottom line: Stay within your budget, focus on improving your credit and make sure that you are financially stable before buying a home.

ELWOOD, Ind. (AP) — A police officer in Indiana was fatally shot during a traffic stop early Sunday, authorities said.
A suspect was subsequently caught after a car chase. No other details about the shooting were immediately released.
The officer worked for Elwood police, 50 miles (80 kilometers) northeast of Indianapolis.
“You go from being prayerful to being angry,” Madison County Sheriff Scott Mellinger told The Herald Bulletin.
The suspect has a criminal record, which includes a conviction in 2006 for firing a gun at Indianapolis officers, said Andrew Hanna, the county's chief deputy prosecutor.
"Prayers. Senseless act. Please join us in holding up Elwood PD’s officers and their families," the sheriff's office said on Facebook. | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Indiana-officer-killed-during-traffic-stop-17341233.php | 2022-07-31T15:01:06Z | https://www.greenwichtime.com/news/article/Indiana-officer-killed-during-traffic-stop-17341233.php | false | null |
Joseph Quinn and Metallica made the inevitable happen: they met up and jammed out!
The Stranger Things star and legendary heavy metal band made it happen at Lollapalooza in Chicago where the band's headlining. While backstage, Quinn and the group sat down for a chat after he introduced himself, prompting James Hetfield to say, "You're taller than on the TV!"
Quinn, who slayed "Master of Puppets" as Eddie Munson in the epic season 4 finale, asked the crew if they're fans of the show. Hetfield said he's been watching since season 1, and that the hit Netflix show has proven to be a bonding experience with his sons.
The 29-year-old actor's then asked if he wants to go jam, and, of course, he said yes! Quinn warned the group he might be a bit rusty, but then looked like a total pro after Lars Ulrich kicked things off with a countdown. Kirk Hammett then tells Quinn, "You're hired!"
"I'd like to make an announcement," Ulrich said after the jam sesh. "Metallica is now a five-piece, guys!"
Perhaps the swaggiest moment came when Robert Trujillo pulled out a custom B.C. Rich guitar like the one Quinn played on the show and handed it to him. It was such a special moment, Quinn couldn't help but get down on his knees and bow down to the guitar.
The band then proceeded to "f**k it up" by signing the guitar. But the gifts didn't end there. The band told him he's welcome to their shows any time, and all he had to do was flash the all-access pass they gave him.
"It was amazing! Opportunities to play 'Master of Puppets' with the most iconic metal band of all time don't come around very often," Quinn told Netflix's Tudum. "A story for the grandkids."
The hangout comes just weeks after Metallica paid tribute to the jaw-dropping scene that saw Quinn's character perform the 1986 hit track in the Upside Down in an effort to distract a swarm of demobats. In that TikTok video, the band plays "Master of Puppets' alongside scenes from Munson's performance.
"Eddie, this is for you!" the group captioned their video. Soon after, "Master of Puppets" started trending in the U.S. and the U.K.
Earlier this month, Quinn spoke exclusively to ET's Will Marfuggi about the reaction his performance received, saying the love from fans was "heartwarming" and "a completely overwhelming feeling."

At Back Together Saturday, Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor wasn’t too interested in diving into the details on Joe Burrow’s return from appendix surgery.
Burrow had surgery to remove his appendix earlier this week and hasn’t been seen at training camp since.
And while there’s little reason for concern on this front, the question naturally came up at Saturday’s event.
“We’re trying to give him some privacy and I’m sure he’ll be back in when he’s ready,” Taylor said, according to Geoff Hobson of Bengals.com. “I’ve talked to his entire family so you try to leave him alone to an extent.” …
In the interim, Brandon Allen has assumed QB1 duties. The team remains non-bothered by Burrow’s absence in the sense he’s going into Year 3 in the system, he probably wouldn’t be playing in preseason games anyway and the offense doesn’t do actual installs until much later in camp.
So until something dramatically changes, no news is good news on the Burrow front. | https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2022/07/31/bengals-joe-burrow-return-appendix-surgery-update/ | 2022-07-31T15:08:10Z | https://bengalswire.usatoday.com/2022/07/31/bengals-joe-burrow-return-appendix-surgery-update/ | false | 1 |
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Levitt at the Falls was full Saturday night for the return of the band Brulé in Sioux Falls.
Nancy Halverson, executive director for Levitt at the Falls, says the summer’s lineup promises to bring in thousands more people.
“So far this year we’ve had about 50 thousand people on the lawn,” Halverson said. “We do have about 24 concerts left to go, and I anticipate we will get close to 80-100 thousand people by the end of the season.”
Brulé is a contemporary Native American group based out of Sioux Falls. Their show combines Native American culture, dance and education.
“It’s always an honor to get and receive recognition from your hometown audience, we’ll never get tired of that and we always appreciate it, and we are always humbled by it,” pianist Paul LaRoche said.
Halverson says Brule’s 2019 concert here drew around 8,000 people; she anticipated, even more, were coming for this year’s show. Some attendees began claiming a spot as early as noon.
“We live a couple blocks away so we wanted to come down and get our seats so we could be sure that we got a spot,” attendee Tara Johnson said.
“It’s awesome, they’re just awesome people,” attendee Lisa Lincoln said.
“They’ve got wonderful music, wonderful people so it makes it more fun to come down and see something like this,” attendee Lori Withy said.
Halverson estimates that nine to ten thousand people were on hand. | https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/brule-show-brings-thousands-to-levitt-at-the-falls/ | 2022-07-31T15:08:25Z | https://www.keloland.com/news/local-news/brule-show-brings-thousands-to-levitt-at-the-falls/ | false | 1 |
Krugersdorp gang rape: Forensics have started process of analysing DNA – Cele
Forensic services have started the process of analysing the DNA of more than 80 suspects who were arrested in connection with rape and robbery of eight women in Krugersdorp.
JOHANNESBURG - Police Minister Bheki Cele said forensic services have started the process of analysing the DNA of more than 80 suspects who were arrested in connection with the rape and robbery of eight women in Krugersdorp.
Cele on Sunday met with the family of the young women who were gang raped by alleged Zama Zama’s near an abandoned mine dump on Thursday.
The women aged between 19 and 35 were attacked by the gang of illegal miners during the filming of a music video in West Village.
Following a closed meeting at the Alexandra police station on Sunday afternoon the minister said many of the families are angry, emotional and traumatised.
“I know that many people have been arrested but we need the real perpetrators. The evidence that has been collected by the police – biological evidence…will have to help us to link the real perpetrators.”
Cele added that while dozens of suspects have been arrested police are still no closer to identifying the culprits behind the horrific attack.

Brazilians can participate in the new draw on Tuesday (2), which will have a prize of US$ 20 million (R$ 100.3 million)
A player from the State of Illinois, in the United States, won US$ 1.28 billion (around R$ 6.6 billion) in the Mega Millions jackpot, the American lottery. The numbers drawn were: 13-36-45-57-67 plus the Mega Ball, 14.
This was the third-largest lottery jackpot in the country. The amount was accumulated since April 15. There were 29 consecutive draws without a winner.
The odds of having the winning ticket, according to company statistics, were 1 in 302.5 million.
Ohio Lottery Director Pat McDonald, head of the Mega Millions consortium, congratulated the winner in Illinois, who has yet to withdraw his prize. “We are delighted to witness one of the biggest jackpot wins in Mega Millions history,” McDonald said in a press release. “We’re looking forward to finding out who won and looking forward to congratulating the winner soon,” he said.
The Mega Millions website now predicts Tuesday’s jackpot at $20 million. Brazilians have the same chances of winning as Americans.
Mega Millions is played in 45 states, as well as Washington, DC and the US Virgin Islands. The game is coordinated by state lotteries.

(WGN) — It’s an invisible disease and a rare condition that starts in childhood. It’s a devastating diagnosis, but there is some new progress toward treating neurofibromatosis — or NF.
The first sign is a distinctive marking on the skin, something that looks like a birthmark. But what lies beneath can cause debilitating symptoms and damage to vital structures in the body.
Three-year-old Sam Mohideen has NF, and looking at him alongside his siblings, Max and Maria, you’d never know his health challenges.
“Sam is a ball of energy but he is also the happiest, kindest third child that I know,” said his father, Shahan Mohideen. “He loves his family. He loves being in the thick of it. He is fearless, and he is just fun.”
Dr. Robert Listernick, an academic general pediatrician with Lurie Children’s Hospital, said the first sign of the condition is typically a birthmark.
“In young children, usually the presenting sign is birthmarks that we call ‘café au lait’ spots, coffee with milk,” Listernick said. “We call them birthmarks, but they are often not present at birth but develop in the first several years of life.”
Erin Mohideen, Sam’s mother, said that’s what she thought the marks on her son were.
“I thought they were birthmarks, honestly,” Sam’s mother Erin Mohideen said. “He had a few freckles. He had a few ‘café au lait spots,’ and so I thought, ‘Look at this special kid with some different skin, that’s OK, right?’”
What looks like a birthmark is an indication of a deeper problem — a tumor that runs all the way down Sam’s arm to the base of his thumb. The benign lesion, called a plexiform neurofibroma, arises from the nerve covering. It’s too complex to be removed.
“Unfortunately, it’s involving the brachial plexis, which is a big bundle of nerves here which might affect function,” Listernick said, pointing to a location near the armpit.
But there’s now hope for children with the condition.
“2020 was a horrible year for the world. For the NF community, it was a great year because we now have the first FDA-approved drug,” Listernick said.
Patients with neurofibromatosis lack a gene that suppresses tumor growth. A type of drug known as a biologic, Selumetinib, can prevent growth and actually shrink lesions while taking away the pain.
Erin and Shahan Mohideen recently learned Sam has more lesions.
“He has additional tumors near his spine, in his chest cavity, on his neck and then one in the back of his brain,” Erin Mohideen said. “I don’t know what the future holds. We don’t know what that looks like.”
For patients with the inherited disease, tumors range in size and location and can cause damage to bones, organs and nerves. Some patients are born with scoliosis or develop it over time.
“About 15% of children with NF1 develop a tumor on the optic nerve and that can cause vision loss,” Listernick added.
Listernick the new treatment will be “a life changer for many patients with NF1.”
“Knowing that that is an option and knowing that is in our back pocket in case something goes wrong with Sam is great,” Shahan Mohideen said.
Right now, the soon-to-be preschooler is carefree and not hindered by his condition.
“Knowing and showing his resilience and zest for life in battling through this I think is important to show,” Shahan Mohideen said.
The Children’s Tumor Foundation has resources for patients and families. Sam’s family also has a team for the Shine A Light NF Walk.

BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Day of Hope and Healing is making sure families have everything they need as the new school year approaches. One mom told 7 News she has 10 children at home and seven of them will be returning to the Buffalo Public School District.
"With inflation and the prices the way things are school supplies are in great need," said Nina Littlejohn.
Several local officials at the event expressed the communities need for not only financial assistance but mental and emotional help as well. In the wake of several mass shootings, they say many families are still recovering. Littlejohn said she doesn't fear for the upcoming school year and knows her family has to keep pushing.
"Our community is one that has been targeted by racial violence but understanding that we're still safe," said Littlejohn. "We still have to live. We have to move on but we need to be together as a family. That's the way we see it."
Littlejohn told 7 News her family has been relying on daily affirmations, togetherness and prayer to get them through their recovery period. Governor Kathy Hochul was in attendance to show she stood together with the community. Governor Hochul handed out food and backpacks to members of the community while expressing her desire to be there for them.
"None of use ever want to be on that list of cities that you talk about and now even Uvalde happening after Buffalo," said Governor Hochul. "There's a lot of pain out there so as Governor, if I can just come here and hug some of the families and pick up some kids and tell them they're going to be okay and bring the resources that we have so generously from CCC in Brookyln and places all across the county. It's my priority. My priority is to be where the people need me and I just felt like my community needed me today."
3,000 backpacks and 45,000 pounds of food was donated, according to Tiffany Brinkley, Director of Community Impact at United MegaCare.
"Right now United MegaCare is sponsoring the food drive," said Brinkley. "We'll distribute it to any family that comes here that's in need. We are actually just excited to be apart of this partnership with the Day of Healing and to be able to bless these families with these resources."
Each backpack was filled with school supplies for the students and resources for free virtual counseling as well, according to Brinkley.
"For any of the families that want to pair up with our center of behavioral counseling we actually offer those," said Brinkley. "They're actually stuffed inside those bags, brochures so where they can link arms with some of our counselors back home and get as much free counseling as needed."
Over $50 million in financial opportunities will become available to community members, according to Governor Hochul.
"We need money to rebuild this community and we need it now," said Governor Hochul. "So, we put over $50 million on the table back in June and said this is for homeowners, this is for small businesses, this is for people behind on their rent and utility. We're here to help build you back up and build you back stronger."
Information about how to apply for the funds will begin August 9th and the Merriweather Library from 4pm to 7pm.
"We're going to have people there to help you apply for money," said Governor Hochul. "If you're a homeowner and need some repairs, you're behind in your rent, you come there on that day and we'll help you figure out how to get access to that money." | https://www.wkbw.com/news/local-news/buffalo-strong/buffalos-day-of-hope-and-healing-is-making-sure-families-are-ready-for-the-school-year | 2022-07-31T15:33:40Z | https://www.wkbw.com/news/local-news/buffalo-strong/buffalos-day-of-hope-and-healing-is-making-sure-families-are-ready-for-the-school-year | true | 1 |

Library Genesis (Libgen) is a website that serves as a shadow library for academic journal articles, books of all kinds, comic books, CDs, and magazines. The website offers free access to materials that are otherwise behind a paywall or not digitized. As a “links aggregator,” Libgen touts itself as offering both user-uploaded files and materials “gathered from publicly available public Internet resources” in a searchable database.
Access to copyrighted publications is made available by Libgen. Examples include PDFs of articles from Elsevier’s ScienceDirect web platform. Internet piracy has been charged against Library Genesis by publishers including Elsevier. Others claim that Libgen is assisting in the dissemination of material that ought to be publicly available in the first place and that academic publishers unfairly profit from government-funded research that is written by academics, many of whom are hired by public universities.
Library Genesis: What Is It?
A website called Library Genesis, sometimes known as Libgen for short, seeks to give consumers free access to millions of fiction and non-fiction ebooks as well as periodicals, comics, and scholarly journal articles. The website aims to be a one-stop shop for classic works in the public domain that may be downloaded for free and lawfully by anyone.
The website was developed by Russian scientists in 2008 and mainly functions as a link aggregator and file-sharing website. The many texts that are available on the platform can be downloaded in a variety of different ebook file formats, including ePub, PDF, and MOBI. It uses a searchable database of public domain publications.

Visit the Libgen Website in Step One.
Accessing the Library Genesis platform is the first step in using it, and there are several different domains available for this. However, domains occasionally stop functioning, thus it is best to compile a list of alternatives. Searching Google for phrases like “Library Genesis mirror” or “Library Genesis proxy” will yield additional results.
Step 2: Looking for Library Genesis Books and Texts.
You can utilize the search feature on the website once you’ve accessed it to actually find the ebook file you’re looking for. To get started, all you have to do is type the title of the book or the name of the author into the search field and press “Enter” to see a list of alternatives.
Depending on your preferences, results can be displayed as either “Simple” or “Detailed,” thanks to a number of advanced parameters that can help you narrow down your search. Additionally, there is the choice to utilize a wildcard, which is accomplished by pressing the ‘*’ key following a word. This enables you to look for a root word’s varied ends.
Thus, if you search for “document*,” you will see results for all of its ends, including “documentation,” “documents,” and “documentary.” When you are unsure of the specific ebook you are looking for or only have a general idea in mind rather than the title, this can be really helpful.
Furthermore, you can narrow your search results by selecting particular genres like fiction, magazines, or scientific publications. This will provide you more targeted results by preventing other ebook types from showing up in your search results page.
I advise new Library Genesis users to leave the search options alone when they first enter the website. To get more results in a wider range of languages, select “Fiction” if you are certain that a work is “Fiction”.
Finding the Correct E-Book File at Libgen Is Step 3.
- What to watch out for
- In Document Extension
- Language.
- Data size.
The next step is to go through the search results to choose the best ebook file for your particular requirements. Depending on how specific your search is, there are a lot of various considerations you’ll need to make, such as the language the text was written in and possibly the book’s version.
Additionally, you must base your decision on the file format, which you can determine by examining the extension. Generally speaking,.epub or.Mobi are your best option if you’re seeking an ebook to read on a Kindle, Google Books, or Apple Books, however, there are many other options for different devices.
The majority of devices will be able to read.pdf files, but it is important to keep in mind that these are frequently book scans, which can limit your possibilities. The files’ size may also increase as a result of this.
Speaking of which, the file size is another important factor to take into account when choosing which file to download. The size of the files can also be a good indicator of whether an ebook is full, whether it has photos and other factors in addition to how much storage space you have available

Choosing an E-Book Mirror in Library Genesis Is the Fourth Step.
Once you have located the file you want to download, you may find download links in the “Mirrors” column on the right side of the page. Simply click the mirror URL you wish to download from to start your file download. However, given the ambiguity in this situation, it might be preferable to right-click and choose “Open Link in New Tab.”
The most secure and convenient download link for most users will be Mirror 1 (http://gen.lib.rus.ec or a similar address).
Mirror 2 (https://libgen.lc or a similar URL) is a straightforward copy of Mirror 1, making it another secure option.
As an alternative to Mirrors 1 and 2, Mirror 3’s address, which should resemble an IP address (such as http://93.174.95.29), should function properly. On rare occasions, Mirror 3 will direct you to Z Library, a different online library.
Unless the other links break or are blocked in your area, Mirror 4 is best ignored. To be clear, it should work, but unless you have an issue with the aforementioned options, Mirror 4 is just a longer option. Mirror 1 is only accessible after navigating through a lot of more windows.
Last but not least, Mirror 5 also functions, although it is advisable to avoid using it unless you have no other option. This Mirror will direct you to another website with numerous pop-up ads, typically www.bookfi.net, and it will typically not function at all if you have ad-blocking software running. Use this option sparingly and make sure to just click on the book link.
Download Your E-Book Using Library Genesis in Step Five.
Whatever option you ultimately select, you must click either “Get” or “Get Links” followed by “Get” to begin your download. Once the Library Genesis book download is finished, you should be able to open and access the ebook you choose.
You must start the procedure over and choose another file to download if you open the file and discover it is not the correct version of the ebook you were looking for.
Regardless of the URL you initially typed in to access the site, the download procedure ought to be exactly the same.

Council's £30K street signs labelled 'vanity project'
- Published
Plans to spend £30,000 of council funds replacing street signs are a "vanity project," a councillor has claimed.
Cotswold District Council has been installing new signs featuring the authority's logo and the name of the local parish.
The council said signs were often replaced and a number needed changing as per its clean and green agenda.
Councillor Tony Berry said it was an inappropriate expense when the council had identified an £8.9m funding gap.
He raised the concerns during a debate over the council's financial recovery from the pandemic.
Funding gap
"We are a small council and this sort of borrowing is not appropriate," the Conservative group leader said.
"It's a completely unnecessary additional cost. If that isn't a vanity project I don't know what is.
"That £30,000, or whatever it is for the crests, is just indicative of all the other spending that goes on."
According to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Cotswold District Council's medium term financial strategy had identified an overall funding gap of almost £8.9m by March 2026.
To cover the cost of capital and a return consistent with the funding gap, the council has approved an investment strategy that seeks an average return of 7.4%.
Mr Berry said the council could save money - without affecting its core strategy - instead of borrowing, highlighting the spending on street signs as an example.
A spokesperson from the council said it had an annual revenue budget for street sign replacement and the current programme had been paid for using those funds.
"Every year, we replace signs when they become damaged or of an age that replacement is required as it is not cost effective to repair them," the spokesperson said.
"Signs are not just replaced if they are worn or fading, we often simply refurbish them, however as part as our increased focus on our Clean and Green Agenda we have identified a number that need replacing.
"This links to work on building Pride in Place, enhancing green areas, tackling littering and environmental crime and ensuring that we improve and maintain both our natural and built environment."

The controversy surrounding Ranveer Singh's nude photoshoot has spread like wildfire and is currently being discussed both locally and internationally. Celebs continue to back Ranveer, against whom a FIR has been filed for offending women's feelings by exposing his "bum." Popular host of the kids' dance reality programme Dance Deewane Juniors, Karan Kundrra, has stepped up to defend Ranveer.
Karan was there at an awards ceremony when he was questioned by the media over Ranveer's controversial nude photoshoot. Ranveer is a "A-lister," a "superstar of the future," and a "people's superstar," according to Karan. The actor stated that whether or not one chooses to view the images is a matter of personal preference.
Karan said, “Wo Ranveer Singh hain (He is Ranveer Singh). Wo aaj k sabse bade A-lister hain, future k supertsar hain, aap hi k superstar hain (He is the biggest A-lister of present times, future superstar, he’s your superstar). Agar kisi ko koi problem ho rahi ha to wo na dekhe. This is something that is your personal choice.”
After Alia Bhatt, Vidya Balan and other Bollywood celebrities came in support of the actor Ranveer Singh who courted controversy after he posed nude for a magazine cover and shared photos on social media, actor Janhvi Kapoor came up in support of the actor. Janhvi while speaking to the media at the launch of Reliance Digital in Delhi on Friday said, "I think it`s artistic freedom and I don`t think anyone should be analysed for artistic freedom."
For the unversed, an FIR was registered against Singh on a complaint filed at the Chembur Police Station. Reportedly, the case has been filed after receiving the complaint by an office-bearer of the NGO who had alleged that the actor hurt the sentiments of women with his nude photos. | https://www.dnaindia.com/bollywood/report-karan-kundrra-reacts-to-ranveer-singh-getting-trolled-for-posing-nude-says-agar-kisi-ko-koi-problem-ho-rahi-2972926 | 2022-07-31T15:50:32Z | https://www.dnaindia.com/bollywood/report-karan-kundrra-reacts-to-ranveer-singh-getting-trolled-for-posing-nude-says-agar-kisi-ko-koi-problem-ho-rahi-2972926 | true | 1 |

Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Sunday said the government’s decision to complete its tenure and hold general elections on time had PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif’s blessing.
Addressing a press conference in Peshawar, the PDM chief was questioned about reports of a split in the alliance’s opinion over completing the government’s tenure in wake of the recent Punjab by-poll loss to the PTI.
“Nawaz Sharif was present when the last decision was being formulated … and he was involved until the last word of the decision that was taken with his agreement, which we put in front of the public.
“What was in that decision? That the government would complete its tenure and the elections would be held on time,” Rehman said.
He said once a decision was taken and then opinions diverged then the majority’s decision in the alliance would prevail. Rehman criticised sensationalism regarding the reported difference of opinion within the PDM and said there was no conflict.
Rehman subsequently criticised the PTI and said it was not easy for the government to rescue the country from its economic decisions and agreements.
“I say that if the government had not been taken away from them, then today the country would have been in pieces.”
The PDM chief said every person should understand the sensitivity of the challenge the current government had accepted by coming to power and called on the people to not vote again for the PTI.
“Voting for the PTI is [akin to] becoming a participant in the country’s destruction and this has no other meaning.”
Regarding by-elections after the resignations of several PTI MNAs were accepted, Rehman said the coalition government had decided to field the respective runner-ups of the 2018 general elections in the constituencies that were now up for grabs.
The PDM chief also highlighted security issues and issues of law and order in the tribal areas and said he would raise these concerns with the prime minister. He criticised the establishment for the merger of the tribal areas and said their situation had only worsened instead of improving. | https://www.dawn.com/news/1702497/fazl-says-govts-decision-to-complete-tenure-had-nawazs-blessing | 2022-07-31T15:56:34Z | https://www.dawn.com/news/1702497/fazl-says-govts-decision-to-complete-tenure-had-nawazs-blessing | false | 3 |

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Logan Ryan won a pair of Super Bowls in New England while playing with Tom Brady, picked off his final pass with the Patriots for a touchdown and has reunited with him on the Buccaneers.
Getting another ring together in Tampa Bay is a clear goal.
“We’ve been in locker rooms together. We’ve been in Super Bowls together. I played in playoff games against him,” Ryan said on the AP Pro Football Podcast. “I miss that competitiveness in practice. What I look forward to right now, competing against him and me getting better, going against him in practice to make me as prepared as I need to be for the season.”
The 31-year-old Ryan, a third-round draft pick by New England in 2013, was a starting cornerback on the 2016 Patriots team that rallied from a 28-3 deficit against Atlanta to win the Super Bowl. He left after that season and spent three years in Tennessee. In an AFC wild-card game at Gillette Stadium on Jan. 4, 2020, Ryan intercepted Brady’s last pass for New England and returned it 9 yards for a score in the final seconds to seal a 20-13 victory.
Ryan doesn’t playfully remind him about that one.
“He has one of those memories where he doesn’t forget it so I don’t have to, but he also knows how to move on pretty quickly, and he moved on and got a Super Bowl after that,” Ryan said. “And I moved on here to do the same. So, it’s just part of our legacy. Tom has been one of my favorite players, one of my favorite teammates, and I’ve always felt like I played my best when I was with him and I played my best against him.
“He demands the best out of you as a competitor going with him and against him. And that’s why I’m excited to get back on his side. We’re not on the field at the same time. So I have to do what I do, which is come out, communicate, lead, demand the best of my teammates, be a great teammate, put my body on the line and make those plays. And it really does take that type of selfless attitude to win championships. It takes that type of bond. And I know me and Tom have a really tight bond and we’re try to bring our two sides together.”
Ryan is one of three former teammates who joined Brady in Tampa during the offseason, along with right guard Shaq Mason and defensive end Akiem Hicks. Brady also lost his pal Rob Gronkowski, who retired.
“I think when you’ve been in the trenches with those guys, you know what they’re all about,” Brady said in June. “I think the more of those guys that you have — that caliber of player that can play at a championship level — the better it is.”
Ryan played both safety spots for the New York Giants over the past two seasons and also took more than 200 snaps as a nickel cornerback. He joins third-year starter Antoine Winfield Jr. and fourth-year man Mike Edwards in the safety room and is excited to work in coach Todd Bowles’ defense.
“What I like the most about it is the aggressiveness and the attention to detail,” Ryan said. “They already told me they’re going to put a lot on me in terms of knowing multiple positions, but also communicating and taking command right away on that defense. Todd played safety as a player, and he’s obviously coached the position as a coordinator and now head coach. So he has high demand and high standards for his safety. So I was obviously brought in for a reason and I don’t take that lightly. I take the responsibility heavy and I want to do a good job with it.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Earnest Cobble’s most distressing yet heroic work day at Nashville International Airport arrived early Easter morning, April 17, as he served as a volunteer at the welcome desk, just inside the baggage claim’s sliding doors. Cobble previously retired from a 25-year career maintaining the terminal’s HVAC equipment.
“I was right here talking to a family,” he said, standing behind the desk staffed by BNA’s 60 volunteers who spend their shifts answering questions from harried travelers throughout the facility. “A young lady came up asking questions. She was kind of aggressive.”
Cobble is used to confused and agitated travelers, so he wasn’t immediately worried. She wanted to know where the restrooms were and how to catch a ride-hailing service, and he graciously directed her.
His calm responses didn’t soften her approach. She pounded her fist on the desk and cursed as he helped another passenger: She insisted on using Cobble’s cell phone to call her mother.
He agreed but, instead of making the call, she walked off in a daze.
“I kept my eye on her,” Cobble said.
As he fielded questions from a family standing in front of him, everything changed.
“That’s when I heard a gunshot,” he said.
The woman pulled a gun from her purse and held it to her head.
Thinking fast to save a life
The first gunshot she fired missed her head, where she pointed it. As the gun rested momentarily at her side, Cobble ordered airport passengers and employees to run.
He took cover behind a concrete pole and trained his focus on the woman as she picked up the gun again.
He instinctively wanted to calm her. Distract her. He said, in as normal a tone as he could muster:
“Ma’am you shouldn’t have that gun here at the airport.”
She fumbled with the gun and yelled back that she was only going to hurt herself.
She aimed the gun again. This time, the shot went clean through her thigh.
Now Cobble yelled at the top of his lungs to get her attention.
“Put the gun down! Don’t do it!”
The woman seemed to be in a fog but she looked up and locked eyes with him after hearing his pleas.
“Slide the gun toward the door!”
He continued to yell and, each time, she paused and made eye contact.
“She gave me a startled look,” he said. “I think I broke her concentration.”
Police officers arrived and swiftly handcuffed the woman.
She survived the incident.
Cobble, meanwhile, continues to reflect on the emotional confrontation and whether there was anything different he could have done.
Cobble saves a life, honored as a hero
Metro Nashville Airport Authority honored Cobble for his heroism at a recent meeting. He received a framed proclamation for helping to prevent a worse outcome.
“As a former employee and now as a volunteer, Earnest was undeniably the right person at the right time who helped to save lives through his courageous actions,” said Doug Kreulen, president of Nashville International Airport.
Cobble continues to volunteer one day a week, though he said he enjoys retirement and is busy planning his next vacation.
But now he pays closer attention to people’s hands in case they’re holding a gun.
“I enjoy helping people,” he said. “I went back to work that Monday, but I wanted to see everyone’s hands.”

Laal Singh Chaddha, starring Aamir Khan and Kareena Kapoor is set to release in theatres on 11 August 2022. Directed by Advait Chandan, the film is an adaptation of the famous Tom Hanks film Forrest Gump.
Challenges of Essaying a Role Like Laal Singh
Speaking about the challenges that come with essaying a role such as this, Aamir Khan said at a press event, "I had to grow my beard. Getting into the mind of the character was the main job." He also spoke about portraying Laal Singh's essence and said, "To get the innocence is very difficult, especially when you have been through so much in life."
"I wanted to make this film because I saw his (Laal Singh's) strength is his innocence. It's not just an actor beating up men. I wanted Indians to see this," he said while talking about doing an unconvential role.
The Casting Process of 'Laal Singh Chaddha'
Talking about Kareena Kapoor Khan's casting, he explained how that came to be. "The casting director showed us some actors and we saw Kareena by mistake there. We wanted to cast as 26 year old who can look both young and old. And then we decided on her. I am very happy she’s our Rupa."
Aamir Khan also pointed out that alterations had been made to Kareena Kapoor's character. In the original Forrest Gump, female lead Robin Wright's character, Jenny, is portrayed to be a lot more free-spirited and open-minded. "We don't have that culture here. (Kareena's role has been) altered as per what is relevant to our society."
On Being Compared to The Original 'Forrest Gump'
Aamir Khan conveyed how he was comfortable with comparisons and how they were a part of adaptations such as these "There will always be comparisons. I hope people like the film."
Khan also addressed how his character Laal Singh was compared to a previous character he played in Rajkumar Hirani's PK. "There is a similarity in both my films because the characters are innocent. But Laal is different. We have managed to make the film we want to. Let’s see what the audience says.
He admitted that adapting a film like Forrest Gump comes with its own challenges, which is why he was reluctant to even hear the script for 2 years. "A film lie Forrest Gump that is a cult classic is difficult to adapt. That is why I didn’t listen to the script for 2 years. It like saying 'let’s remake Mughal-E-Azam'. But when I heard the script, I was blown."
He also added that he was conscious of not imitating Tom Hanks and kept referring to scenes in the original film for reference.
Taking Feedback From Industry Leaders
Aamir Khan revealed that famous South director SS Rajamouli, Chiranjeevi, Sukumaran, and Nagarjuna have watched the film and loved it. The makers have also made it a point to incorporate their feedback into the film.
"They said something and we changed that in the film because it was the right thing and it works," said Aamir Khan.
He also added that the folks at Paramount Productions have loved the film too and have shown interest in releasing it worldwide.
On the Rise of OTT And South Indian Films
"OTT audience has become less forgiving. (There is) just great content across languages. The audience has evolved," he said when asked about the transition of the audience from theatres to OTT.
Speaking about the growing influence of the south, which has become an increasingly common discussion in the industry today, Khan said:
"I don’t see a shift in the phase. Historically, the films that people don’t like simply don’t work. And that’s what happens. People have liked Kashmir Files, Gangubai Kathiawadi and Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 too. If it’s good it will work."
He also added that it was unfair to draw comparisons and that the success of any film, be it Bollywood or a film from the south, is cause to celebrate. "I don’t believe in comparisons. Everyone is trying to do their best. At the end of the day, as an audience member, it does not matter which part of the country the film is coming from. If south films are working, what is the problem? It’s a good thing."
Junaid to Embark Upon Bollywood Debut?
Aamir Khan was also asked about his son Junaid making it to Bollywood and he said that his 23-year-old son had started doing screen tests. "He has given a lot of auditions. He is on his own journey," said Khan.
He also revealed that Junaid was close to being cast in Laal Singh Chaddha as well. He spoke about how director Advait Chandan shot a few scenes with him and how Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao were "blown" by his performance.
"I didn’t expect him to be better than me. I got influenced by Junaid and got the sur to act. Not Tom Hanks," said Khan. In the end, Junaid was not cast in the film.
He also spoke about daughter Ira Khan's directorial debut, a play called Medea which is based on a Greek tragedy and stars cricketer Yuvraj Singh's wife Hazel Keech. "The film was quite good. It was a difficult subject to pick," said Khan.

The Minister for Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, on Sunday announced a number of punitive measures against persons who will fail to register their SIM cards by end of August.
According to the minister, the measures are compelling factors which include being barred from receiving calls and data services.
“Any SIM that has not been fully registered by the end of August will be barred from fully receiving certain services including voice and data services. It will also be more expensive to use unregistered SIMs,” she stated.
The government official added that a full range of punitive measures will be announced at the end of September following a holistic review of the SIM re-registration exercise.
The minister made the disclosure at a press conference on Sunday where she announced an extension to the July 31 deadline of the SIM registration exercise.
“Upon consultation with the industry and in view of the challenges enumerated above, I have very reluctantly decided to grant a final conditional extension. The pogramme will be extended to 30th September to end on the anniversary of its commencement,” she said.
According to her, she reluctantly made the decision due to various challenges including the difficulty faced by some citizens in acquiring a Ghana Card which is the mandatory document for the exercise.
The SIM registration exercise, which among other things aims at fighting fraud, commenced in August 2021 and was initially scheduled to end on March 31, 2022.
Government however announced a four-month extension to the exercise and scheduled the registration to end on July 31, 2022.
Ahead of the deadline, various calls were made for another extension which the minister has heeded.

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira has praised the quality of midfielder Eberechi Eze after his side defeated Montpellier 4-2 in a pre-season friendly at Selhurst Park on Saturday.
Goals from Ivory Coast international Wilfried Zaha, Odsonne Edouard, who grabbed a brace and Marc Guehi ensured the Eagles finished their pre-season on a high as they prepare to host Arsenal in their Premier League opener on Friday.
Speaking after the game, the former Arsenal midfielder discussed two African players led by the 24-year-old Eze and new signing Cheick Doucoure from Mali.
On Eze, who is of Nigerian ancestry, Vieira said as quoted by the club's official website: “It’s about the number of minutes [he plays]. He played a lot of friendly games and is in really good shape. There’s no doubt about his quality.
"He can create goals, he can score goals, and again on the other side – how can we help the team to defend better?"
On the assessment of 22-year-old Doucoure, who joined Palace from French Ligue 1 side Lens, Vieira said: “He did really well. He’s a player who still needs to grow and believe in himself even more.
"But you can see he’s really comfortable on the ball and switched his game quick enough for us.” | https://www.goal.com/en-ug/news/crystal-palace-cannot-doubt-the-quality-of-eze-vieira/blt91fbe464fc59b6ae | 2022-07-31T17:09:43Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ug/news/crystal-palace-cannot-doubt-the-quality-of-eze-vieira/blt91fbe464fc59b6ae | true | 7 |
KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Heavy rains in hilly eastern Uganda triggered flooding that burst river banks and submerged homes and roads, killing at least 10 people, the Red Cross said Sunday.
The victims of the Saturday night downpour lived in the neighboring districts of Kapchorwa and Mbale. Videos of the scene showed terrified people squirming for safety as water levels rose in one village, toppling houses and felling banana trees.
The death toll is likely to rise, with local reporters saying they spotted bodies being washed away by the torrent.
“This disaster is due to environmental degradation,” Ugandan Prime Minister Robinah Nabanja told reporters from Mbale, adding that Ugandan security officials have been called to assist in rescue efforts. “How many people are going to die like this?”
There are fears of more trouble ahead as the rainy season has just begun.
Mbale and nearby districts are particularly vulnerable to flooding deaths because many residents have built homes by river banks and in the rugged foothills of Mount Elgon.
Although hundreds have responded to the government’s call to be relocated over the years, some continue to resist, saying they aren’t comfortable leaving their ancestral lands.

Porsche listing plans on track, Volkswagen CFO says
BERLIN, July 28 (Reuters) - Preparation for a listing of Volkswagen's (VOWG_p.DE) sportscar brand Porsche later this year is continuing, with a decision expected in late summer, the carmaker's chief financial officer said on Thursday.
"We continue to execute our plan for a potential IPO of Porsche later in this year. Preparation is continuing with a decision expected late summer, now with even more emphasis than before," CFO Arno Antlitz said on a call.
"Oliver Blume in his capacity as CEO of both companies, Volkswagen and Porsche, stands for an independent Porsche with access to Volkswagen synergies," he added.
Friday's announcement that group CEO Herbert Diess would be replaced by Porsche boss Blume rekindled investor concerns about corporate governance problems at the carmaker, with some worried that Blume would not be able to pull off a planned listing while leading both the sportscar brand and the group. read more
