The menu will cater to on-the-go guests while still providing the same quality ingredients and fresh preparations in an authentic quick-service space.
Bones & Burgers will be located in the food court of Tampa’s International Plaza and Bay Street, the dominant shopping and dining destination on the west coast of Florida, located adjacent to the Tampa International Airport. This will mark the first Bones & Burgers location, adding to the 95 restaurants that Tony Roma’s currently operates globally.

Bones & Burgers was inspired by Romacorp’s 50+ years in the rib business and will feature the famous Tony Roma’s Baby Back Ribs, in addition to new premium burgers and burger bowls. The menu will target busy customers who want bold flavors in a quick-service restaurant.
In addition to opening Bones & Burgers in Tampa, the company also plans to open Tony Roma’s restaurants in North Carolina and Montana before the end of the year. Earlier this year, it was announced that Romacorp, Inc. plans to open 200 locations over the next decade.

CHICAGO (WGN) — Chicago rapper Lil Durk says he is taking time off to recover from injuries he sustained during a performance Saturday night at Lollapalooza.
The 29-year-old rapper announced the hiatus on Instagram to his more than 14 million followers, saying he intends to “take a break [and] focus on my health,” after a pyrotechnic hit him in the eye.
A photo shows Durk, real name Durk Derrick Banks, with a bandage covering his left eye.
A video now circulating online shows Lil’ Durk walking across the stage before being struck by powerful bursts of smoke. He stumbles back and begins wiping his face with his shirt.
Billboard reports that the rapper had more than 20 U.S. tour dates scheduled through mid-October.
The “What Happened to Virgil” rapper paused his performance for a few moments before finishing his set.

(NEXSTAR) – After years of competing with malls, Amazon is now partnering with several of the shopping center mainstays as part of a new delivery perk for Prime members in select cities.
The retail behemoth announced Monday that Prime members can now take advantage of same-day delivery from mall brands GNC, Diesel, PacSun and Superdry, with Sur La Table and 100% Pure coming soon.
Prime members living in select ZIP codes in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia and Washington can take advantage of same-day shipping or in-store pickup, if they prefer.
There is a catch, however – there order must be a minimum of $25 to qualify for free shipping. If you’re short of the threshold you’ll have to pay an additional $2.99.
Saving shoppers a trip to the mall isn’t unprecedented, however, as Sephora and delivery service Instacart have teamed up to make same-day deliveries. Grocery stores have also started to cater to busy, crowd-weary shoppers with at home deliveries.
“The expansion of Amazon’s Same-Day Delivery to include beloved brands delivered directly from nearby retail locations is just another way we are offering customers even greater selection, at faster speeds,” said Sarah Mathew, director of Amazon Delivery Experience. “We are excited to see this new model come to life and look forward to adding more brands, stores, and locations to the program.”
What once appeared to be head-to-head competition between an online sales powerhouse and traditional retail has become increasingly complex.
In January, Amazon announced plans to open a physical clothing store inside a Southern California mall later in the year. Part of the allure, according to Amazon, would be algorithms designed to give shoppers real-time recommendations.
To see if you qualify for free, same-day shipping, see a list of participating locations here. | https://www.wtnh.com/news/national/amazon-rolls-out-new-perk-for-prime-members-in-select-cities/ | 2022-08-02T01:59:03Z | https://www.wtnh.com/news/national/amazon-rolls-out-new-perk-for-prime-members-in-select-cities/ | true | 23 |

Commonwealth Games: Women’s table tennis team delivers first gold for S’pore after beating Malaysia
BIRMINGHAM – Singapore is again champions for women’s table tennis at the Commonwealth Games, after beating Malaysia 3-0 in the final on Monday (Aug. 1).

However, they were in imperious form in this year’s competition as they worked their way back to the top. Along the way, they defeated England, Nigeria, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Guyana, Australia and their Causeway rivals without losing a match.
Underdogs Malaysia should also take credit for their never-say-die attitude as they racked up a thrilling comeback with 3-2 wins against India and then Wales en route to the final.

After an early scare, Zeng Jian and Zhou Jingyi helped the team settle down by beating Karen Lyne and Ho Ying 3-1 (7-11, 11-4, 11-6, 11-5) in the opening doubles match.
A mini-celebration match also broke out in the stands between Singapore – featuring Singapore National Olympic Council President Tan Chuan-Jin, Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Culture, Community and Youth Eric Chua and Singapore Table Tennis Association President Ellen Lee – and the contingent of Malaysia’s supporters.
But it was the roars of the Singaporeans and Majulah Singapura that were loudest after Feng Tianwei defeated Alice Chang 3-0 (11-9, 11-1, 11-7) before Zeng defeated Ho 3-1 (11-7) 3, 11-4). , 8-11, 11-5) to restore their status as queens of Commonwealth table tennis. Australia took the bronze after beating Wales 3-0 in the play-off.

The situation involving Android is worrying and things are not going so well, which is why more and more users are migrating from Android to iOS. Apple seems to be seducing more and more, despite a not-too-flashy new iOS 16 update.
In a presentation of Q3 2022 results, which saw Apple post record revenue of $83.0 billion in the June quarter, up 2% from the previous quarter, CEO Tim Cook said iPhones received a large number of Android users in recent months.
“Let’s go to the iPhone. We’re breaking a record for the June quarter, both in revenue and in the number of people switching to the iPhone.”
The company’s CEO thus confirms the data from a report by StockApp at the beginning of the year, which already allowed us to see that Android was losing more and more users. As a reminder, the popularity of Google’s operating system has plummeted in recent years as it went from 77.32% market share to 69.74% in just 4 years.
Although smartphone sales have dropped significantly this year, Samsung and Apple still dominate the podium. The American giant had a good 3% growth in the first quarter of this year, increasing its market share from 15% to 18%. Android users therefore seem to leave Google’s operating system in droves to switch to Apple.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)Even after striking out in his first three trips to the plate Sunday, Texas’ Ezequiel Duran wasn’t lacking in confidence as he came up with the bases loaded and none out in the ninth inning of a tie game against the Los Angeles Angels.
Duran delivered a three-run double as the Rangers beat the Angels 5-2 despite Los Angeles starter Reid Detmers throwing an immaculate inning.
”I just made an adjustment and had the confidence in myself to be the best that I’ve always been and continue to do that,” Duran said through an interpreter.
Texas took three of four from the Angels and went 5-6 on its season-high, 11-game road trip despite being the first team in 43 years to have three immaculate innings thrown against them in a season.
Detmers became the first pitcher in seven years with a no-hitter and an immaculate inning in the same season, achieving the latter during the second inning when he struck out Duran, Kole Calhoun and Charlie Culberson on nine pitches. It is the fourth immaculate inning in the majors this year and the 109th in baseball’s recorded history.
The Rangers got their first three aboard in the ninth on Leody Taveras’ base hit and Jose Quijada (0-3) issuing walks to Jonah Heim and Adolis Garcia. Duran then cleared the bases with a double to the right-center field gap off Raisel Iglesias.
Duran said he was looking for a pitch up and in, which he got on a changeup from Iglesias on the second pitch of the at-bat.
”I think he’s blessed with that trait because that’s something I obviously envied as a player. Those guys no matter what happened and bad things were beforehand, he still believes he’s the best player on the planet,” Rangers manager Chris Woodward said. ”He said he was going to go to right center and he did that.”
Shohei Ohtani and Brandon Marsh had two hits apiece for the Angels, who went 6-18 in July.
Brock Burke (5-2) came on in relief of starter Dane Dunning and pitched two scoreless innings. Jonathan Hernandez retired the side in the ninth for his first major league save.
Detmers went seven innings and struck out a career-high 12 while allowing two runs, one earned, on three hits.
Dunning gave up two runs on seven hits and struck out four in six innings.
The Rangers quickly got to Detmers with a run in the first on Nathaniel Lowe’s RBI base hit.
The Angels tied it in the home half of the frame on Luis Rengifo’s RBI single to plate Ohtani.
Los Angeles had the bases loaded with none out but could only get across one run on a sacrifice fly by Andrew Velazquez.
”When you load them up and nobody out, you want one especially early in the game, but you’re looking for that big inning,” Angels interim manager Phil Nevin said. ”We had other opportunities and didn’t score.”
The Rangers evened it at 2 in the fifth. For the third time in the series, they took advantage of an Angels’ left fielder having problems playing balls hit into the corner when Charlie Culberson doubled down the line and took third when Marsh misplayed it. Culberson scored one batter later on Elier Hernandez’s sacrifice fly.
WOEFUL MONTH
Despite having Ohtani and Mike Trout (for at least part of the month), the Angels batted .199 in July, becoming only the third team since 1907 to bat under the Mendoza line in that month according to Statradar. The others were the 1972 New York Mets (.188) and last year’s Rangers (.198).
It is also the worst hitting month in Angels’ history. The previous low was .206 in April of 1961, which was the franchise’s first month.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Rangers: SS Corey Seager (lower right leg contusion) was out of the lineup for the third straight day. A stint on the injured list is a possibility after he is re-evaluated on Monday. … IF Brad Miller (neck strain) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Round Rock.
Angels: 3B Phil Gosselin was in the lineup after leaving Saturday’s game when he was beaned in the third inning. … IF David Fletcher got a day off after playing in three straight games following his return from the injured list. Fletcher was on the IL for nearly three months due to a left hip strain.
ROSTER MOVE
RHP Jimmy Herget was activated off the injured list after missing 30 games due to right shoulder impingement. In a corresponding move, right-hander Chase Silseth was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake.
UP NEXT
Rangers: Return home for seven games starting Monday against Baltimore. Texas has won seven of the last nine games started by right-hander Jon Gray (7-5, 3.62 ERA).
Angels: Begin a three-game series against Oakland on Tuesday. RHP Noah Syndergaard (5-8, 3.83 ERA) is listed as the starter, but he has been the subject of trade speculation as Tuesday’s deadline draws near.

Osun PDP Warns Oyetola against Illegal Local Government Election
Yinka Kolawole
The Osun State Chapter of the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) has warned the outgoing Governor of Osun State, Mr. Gboyega Oyetola and the Osun Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) against going ahead with the planned local government election in Osun State, condemning same as unlawful, illegal and criminal.
However, Osun State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) had stated that it was not planning to hold any local government election in the state.
The Spokesperson of the OSSIEC, Mr. Babatunde Fanawopo, debunked the rumour yesterday via a phone conversation with THISDAY in Osogbo.
Fanawopo stated that it is only OSIEC that is backed by law to announce such exercise and not social media announcement.
He equally stressed that any arrangements regarding local government election exercise would come directly from the Chairman of OSIEC, Mr. Segun Oladitan.
According to him, “unconfirmed reports have stated that the commission had planned to hold local government elections in the state on October 29, 2022.”
The Director of Media, Osun State PDP, Mr. Oladele Oluwabamiji, in a press statement made available to THISDAY yesterday adverted the mind of Governor Oyetola and the state’s electoral body to a pending suit before the Federal High Court, Osogbo, in FHC/OS/CS/94/2022, by which the Peoples’ Democratic Party is Challenging OSSIEC on the planned illegal local government election.
The PDP is also praying the court to restrain INEC from releasing voters register to OSSIEC for reason of non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 with respect to giving notice of elections, nomination of candidates, publication of names etc.
According to the PDP, the public is invited to note the act of illegality and criminality being embarked upon by the outgoing governor and his OSSIEC, a body which till date has no legal backing for its existence.
Despite being constituted close to two years ago with huge resources expended on the commission chairman, the secretary and staff, the commission has failed to conduct any local government election since then, until now when the Oyetola-led APC administration in Osun State has been voted out of power.
“We affirm that under the Electoral Act 2022, notice of any election must be given not later than 360 days before the election, and nomination of candidates for the election must not be later than 180 days before the election, while publication of names shall be a period not later than 150 days before the election.
It should be noted that by virtue of the Second Schedule Paragraphs 11 and 12 of the 1999 Constitution as amended, no State electoral law can have precedence over the Electoral Act.
Moreso, the Electoral Act 2022 has made it clear that every State Electoral Commission must comply with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022 in conducting local government elections.
Referencing section 151 of the Electoral Act, 2022, the Party warned OSSIEC that apart from the purported election running the risk of being rendered void absolutely, it is a criminal offence for any member or staff of any State electoral body who conspires or indulges in holding an election contrary to the Electoral Act, 2022.
“We are, therefore, alerting members of the public to rise against another wastage and conduit pipe through which the resources of Osun people are being siphoned, the statement affirmed, warning that no product of illegality will be allowed to stand by the incoming Adeleke administration.
“The party further advised Oyetola and OSSIEC to arrange a team of legal experts to review the legal stipulations so as to be properly guided and avoid running into serious legal ditch that will not only bring an embarrassment to whoever may be the target beneficiaries of the planned illegal election, but also further put the State in a serious financial mess.”
The party called on Governor Oyetola to channel the funds meant for the illegal election towards settling arrears of salaries of workers and pensioners in the state.
However efforts to speak with Osun State Commissioner for Justice and Attorney-General, Mr. Femi Akande, to comment on the matter did not yield any result as he did not pick several calls made to him. | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/08/02/osun-pdp-warns-oyetola-against-illegal-local-government-election/ | 2022-08-02T02:04:51Z | https://www.thisdaylive.com/index.php/2022/08/02/osun-pdp-warns-oyetola-against-illegal-local-government-election/ | true | 1 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — Venus Williams lost to Rebecca Marino of Toronto on Monday in her return to singles play after more than a year away.
The seven-time Grand Slam champion lost 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the first round of the Citi Open in Washington in her first singles match since last August.
Before the hard-court tune-up for the U.S. Open, Williams last played singles in Chicago on Aug. 23, 2021, when she lost to Su-Wei Hseih. Williams played mixed doubles with Jamie Murray at Wimbledon.
In other action on the women’s side, top-seeded Jessica Pegula and former top-ranked Simona Halep advanced.
Pegula beat fellow American Hailey Baptiste 6-2, 6-2. Halep defeated Cristina Bucsa of Spain 6-3, 7-5 after adjusting to a different surface following grass-court season.
“I had a good run in Wimbledon, so it’s always tough to start,” Halep said. “But I’m really happy I won the match and I can play another match here.”
On the men's side, former No. 1 Andy Murray lost his opening match 7-6(8), 4-6, 6-1 to Swede Mikael Ymer. Murray started cramping at the end of the first set and struggled to recover.
“It was disappointing, obviously,” Murray said." I thought there was some good tennis in the first set. After that, both of us were struggling a bit physically. The level of the tennis was not great."
Countryman Kyle Edmund defeated qualifier Yosuke Watanuki 6-4, 7-6(8) to win his first ATP Tour-level singles match since October 2020.
Edmund, who was once the top-ranked Brit and climbed as high as 14th in the world, was out while recovering from three knee surgeries.
During his rehab, Edmund pictured himself back on the court in moments like this.
“There was long periods where I was just out, couldn’t play, didn’t pick a racket up. ... It just wasn’t fun at all,” he said. “These sort of matches or these events are something you imagine when you’re out.”

Michael Keaton doesn’t actually watch any of the Marvel movies
One of the most acclaimed villains of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Vulture, was played by Michael Keaton who has revealed he doesn’t actually watch the movies at all.
Previously starring in the eponymous role of Tim Burton’s Batman, Keaton made a big switch some 28 years later for 2017’s Spider-Man: Homecoming, going from hero to villain as Adrian Toomes in Tom Holland’s first full outing as the webhead. Since 2017, he’s appeared again as Vulture, albeit in the truly terrible post-credit sequence for Sony’s attempt at a Morbius film.
Despite a big return to blockbuster superhero flicks, Keaton admits he’s actually not seen any Marvel or DC film all the way through, as he prepares for a return to the role of Batman for The Flash. He recently told Variety he isn’t “highbrow,” — he just doesn’t consume that much media.
“I know people don’t believe this, that I’ve never seen an entire version of any of those movies — any Marvel movie, any other. And I don’t say that I don’t watch that because I’m highbrow — trust me! It’s not that,” he says. “It’s just that there’s very little things I watch. I start watching something, and think it is great and I watch three episodes, but I have other shit to do!”
It’s not uncommon for stars of these massive blockbusters to never see their own films. Paul Bettany often tells the story of never watching the Iron Man films and literally phoning in his performance a few months before each film. In an increasingly digital filmmaking landscape, we’re probably not too far off actors not even being needed on set.
Spider-Man: Homecoming is currently available to stream on Disney Plus, while Morbius is on Amazon Prime Video. | https://wegotthiscovered.com/celebrities/michael-keaton-doesnt-actually-watch-any-of-the-marvel-movies/ | 2022-08-02T02:40:29Z | https://wegotthiscovered.com/celebrities/michael-keaton-doesnt-actually-watch-any-of-the-marvel-movies/ | true | 1 |
South Anchorage Dental Center Releases Guide on How to Maintain Dental Hygiene While Drinking Coffee
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, UNITED STATES, August 1, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- South Anchorage Dental Center has released a guide on maintaining dental hygiene while drinking coffee. Many people drink coffee daily, and if they don’t maintain a good oral hygiene routine, they could have dental health problems.
Coffee can affect the health of teeth and gums. It can lead to cavities or halitosis (bad breath) as it increases the oral bacteria in the mouth. The bacteria can create acid that leads to tooth and enamel erosion.
Enamel is minerals, mostly hydroxyapatite, that protect the teeth. Although it’s the protective layer of the teeth, it is also partially responsible for the color of teeth. The most prominent problem with drinking coffee regularly is the discoloration of teeth.
Coffee has an ingredient called tannin that can discolor teeth and is found in other beverages such as wine or tea. The coffee will intrude the enamel, covering it with a deep yellow or brownish color. When the enamel becomes thin, the underlying material of dentin that produces the color of teeth becomes yellow.
Adding creamer and sugar to coffee can also speed up the growth of bacteria. And when adding creamer, it will make the coffee a lighter color. However, that doesn’t change the dark pigmentation and acids responsible for the dark color of coffee, which will still stain teeth.
There are some ways to prevent coffee-stained teeth, including:
• Waiting 30 minutes before brushing your teeth
• Brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash regularly
• Getting your teeth professionally whitened
• Using an electric toothbrush
• Using a straw
• Visiting the dentist regularly
• Drinking water
Regular dental hygiene recommendations of brushing and flossing the teeth will help prevent oral health issues. Vising a dentist will also help maintain the healthy status of teeth and gums.
South Anchorage Dental Center (SADC) is a family dentist that can help maintain good oral health with regular check-ups and dental treatments. Several paying options are available, with flexible payment options and the SADC Dental Savings Plan. If someone is interested in receiving care for themselves or their family, they should visit the SADC website to learn more.

Electricity use hits all-time high in July amid heat wave
SEOUL, Aug. 2 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's electricity consumption reached a record monthly high last month, as the country was gripped by a sweltering heat wave, the power operator said Tuesday.
The country's average maximum power consumption came to 82,007 megawatts (MW) in July, up 1 percent from a year earlier, according to the Korea Power Exchange (KPX).
It marked the highest level since the government began compiling related data in 2005. The previous record was set in July 2021, when the figure stood at 81,158 MW.
The power reserve ratio had also fallen below 10 percent three times last month, the KPX said. The country should have a reserve ratio of 10 percent or more in order to maintain a stable power supply and prepare for emergencies.
The rising demand came as the country experienced a heat wave and tropical nights. The average temperature for the month came to 26 C, higher than usual, the weather agency said.
Industrial power use has also grown recently recovering from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to industry ministry officials.
"We will strive to secure additional reserve power without a hitch, while implementing measures to reduce power consumption, mainly at public institutions," a ministry official said.

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2683849204854/grammy-museum-receives-1-million-donation | 2022-08-02T02:48:53Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2683849204854/grammy-museum-receives-1-million-donation | false | 12721 |
Austin – Renters and activists brought signs, a megaphone, and a small crowd to the Austin offices of a San Antonio apartment complex’s heavily-criticized landlord.
Tenants of the Seven Oaks Apartments on the Northwest Side and members of the Texas Organizing Project have been pushing against what they sees as “unfair” eviction notices and subpar conditions at the apartment complex, such as air conditioning issues, a lack of hot water, water damage, and roaches. San Antonio Code Enforcement has issued 24 citations for the property so far.
Two busloads of people, including T.O.P. members from the Dallas and Houston areas, shouted chants like “no housing, no peace” in front of Achieve Properties’ office Monday morning on the northwest side of Austin.
Joining the group were Democratic congressional candidate for the 35th District, Greg Casar, and San Antonio Councilwoman Ana Sandoval, whose district includes the 254-unit apartment complex.
“We can regulate everything you do as a city. But what we do expect is that you treat these people with dignity and respect and honor the lease that they had when you came in,” Sandoval said, addressing executives from Achieve Properties.
The group of renters and activists previously sent a list of demands to the owner in June, which included fixing all reported maintenance issues within 72 hours, no tenants forced to move until Dec. 23, $6,000 worth of relocation assistance per unit, and no record of any attempted or completed evictions.
Achieve Properties, which bought the apartment complex in late November 2021, is linked to the Achieve Investment Group, whose CEO, James Kandasamy, has been the primary target of the tenants and activists’ anger and criticism.
In a video that T.O.P. says had been posted to, and later deleted from his Youtube page, Kandasamy appears in front of the Seven Oaks Apartments, describing changes to the complex like new paint and fences.
“And you know, after that, this is where we’re going to start to, to lease up, right, on this asset, right -- where we’re going to change demographic and you know, tenants profile in this asset. And that’s really, really hard and -- but it’s going to be fun,” Kandasamy says in the video.
Speaking with KSAT after the protest, Achieve Properties V.P. of Operations Daniel Simpson said they are not accepting new tenants using Section 8 housing vouchers, but existing tenants “are not being asked to move because they are Section 8.”
He denied the company was trying to get rid of tenants, saying the only ones who would have an issue are those who aren’t paying their rent or who are doing something illegal on the property.
Simpson also said that “as of the other day,” there were only a “handful of work orders that were not 100 percent complete” and pointed to progress Achieve had made in cleaning up the property.
“So the bottom line is we’re here to help. We really are,” Simpson said. “It just doesn’t seem to feel like that to a handful of residents.”

With The Flash Ending, One Former Star Has Landed A New Streaming Role
By Laura Hurley published
This actor is going from superheroes to streaming!
An era is ending for superhero television with the announcement that The Flash will come to a close in 2023. The last Arrowverse series standing will fall next year, but one former series regular has landed a new role that guarantees fans will see him back on the small screen. Rick Cosnett, a.k.a. Eddie Thawne, is coming to Apple TV+.
Rick Cosnett started on The Flash as a series regular, but has returned off and on since his character’s untimely end in Season 1. It’s not clear how much of a role (if any) he’ll have toward the end of the ninth and final season, but Deadline reports that the actor has joined the cast of Mrs. American Pie, coming to Apple TV+. The upcoming series was already star-studded with a cast including SNL alum Kristen Wiig, The West Wing’s Allison Janney, and Big Little Lies’ Laura Dern, and the iconic Carol Burnett, among others. Dern is also an executive producer.
Mrs. American Pie will be a female-led comedy series set in the 1970s, with Maxine (Kristen Wiig) attempting to climb the social ladder in Palm Beach high society. Based on the Juliet McDaniel book of the same name, the project will bring some serious star power to viewers with an Apple TV+ subscription. Rick Cosnett will play a character by the name of Sergeant Tom Sanka. The actor played a cop in the first season of The Flash, but it’s probably safe to say that Sergeant Sanka’s story will unfold very differently from how Detective Thawne’s did.
The streamer has not announced when Mrs. American Pie will release, but Cosnett returned to television in a big way in 2022. Despite Eddie Thawne’s death back in 2015 at the end of The Flash Season 1 in a heroic sacrifice, he returned a few more times before recurring in Season 8. The superhero show won’t return with its final 13 episodes until 2023, so his role in the new show doesn’t necessarily mean that he’ll be too busy to reprise his role as Eddie again. Glamour UK reports that Mrs. American Pie is expected to release in 2022.
Rick Cosnett himself hasn’t weighed in on what Mrs. American Pie means (or doesn’t mean) for any future in The Flash’s final round of adventures, but he’s not being shy about showing his excitement about his new role. On his Instagram account, he posted:
Apple TV+ is already the home of the very high-profile comedy Ted Lasso, which won several of the biggest comedy awards at the 2021 Emmy awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor for Jason Sudeikis. Despite other comedies like Schmigadoon! and Dickinson, however, the streaming service is likely best known for dramas like The Morning Show, Severance, and – more recently – Black Bird, starring Taron Egerton and Paul Walter Hauser with a “horrifying” dynamic as their characters.
Will Mrs. American Pie be a comedy on par with Ted Lasso? Only time will tell, but at least the wait for that series will be shorter than the wait for The Flash Season 9. For now, you can always revisit The Flash so far with a Netflix subscription for all eight seasons, and check out our 2022 TV premiere schedule for the shows that have already received their release dates.

Agent: Steve Smith done in Carolina
Wide receiver Steve Smith, for years the face of the Carolina Panthers, will not be returning to the team for the 2014 season. So says his agent, Derrick Fox, who told the Associated Press today that Smith is done in Carolina.
“[Smith] is not going to play for the Panthers next year, I know that,” Fox told the AP. “I just don't know when that transaction is going to take place.”
Fox said the Panthers have been shopping Smith in a trade, but there have been no takers so far for the 34-year-old wideout. Smith is scheduled to make $7 million this season. Smith will be paid $3 million by the Panthers regardless of whether he stays or goes.
Panthers GM Dave Gettleman, a former Giants’ executive, said last month at the Scouting Combine that the team was uncertain about Smith’s role, something Smith found unsettling to hear. Especially because Gettleman hadn’t brought it up with the receiver until they met face-to-face after the Combine.
“Where we are disappointed is the fact he signed an extension to stay loyal to the club and complete his career as a Panther,” Fox told the AP. “That is why we did the long-term team deal. Now we are at a crossroads where the Panthers don't want him anymore.”
Smith is the Panthers’ all-time leading receiver with 836 catches for 12,197 yards and 67 touchdowns. His numbers were down last year, though, as he had 746 receiving yards and four TDs.
“At 34, they could have kept him and run him in the slot,” Fox said. “Steve wants to play in the slot. But he can't play the slot with the current roster, and he hasn't been able to play in the slot with the rosters in the past.” | https://www.newsday.com/sports/football/agent-steve-smith-done-in-carolina-u86543 | 2022-08-02T03:07:05Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/football/agent-steve-smith-done-in-carolina-u86543 | true | 1 |

The Grammy Award-nominated rapper Mystikal has run afoul of the law again and is now in police custody after being arrested on charges of alleged sexual assault over the weekend.
According to reports, the New Orleans native was arrested on Sunday (July 31st) and booked into the Ascension Parish jail. The warrant detailed the charges, which include first-degree rape, simple robbery, domestic abuse battery, and false imprisonment, in addition to simple criminal damage to property. Mystikal, also known as Michael Tyler, was awaiting his arraignment.
An arrest was made after deputies from the Sheriff’s office responded to a victim of sexual assault at a hospital in Baton Rouge.
In documents filed in the case, the unidentified woman was an acquaintance of Mystikal who visited him at his home in Prairieville, a suburb south of Baton Rouge, on Saturday evening.
She allegedly stole $100 from him, and Mystikal took her car keys and phone to prevent her from leaving and punched her in addition to pulling braids out of her hair before sexually assaulting her.
The sexual assault kit performed on the victim in the emergency room then showed that her injuries aligned consistently with her description of the incident.
Mystikal Has A History of Sexual Violence
For Mystikal, this makes the third time that he has been involved in a sexual assault. The “Here I Go” rapper pleaded guilty in 2003 to committing sexual battery and extortion due to forcing his hairstylist
At the time to perform sexual acts on him and two of his bodyguards after she had allegedly cashed unauthorized checks totaling thousands of dollars from his account.
He would serve six years in prison for that offense. In 2017, he surrendered to police after discovering there was a warrant for his arrest on allegations of rape and kidnapping at a casino in Shreveport.
After spending 18 months in jail before being released on a $3 million bond, the district attorney closed the investigation after a second grand jury declined to indict, and charges were dropped. Mystikal is a registered sex offender in the state.
A spokesperson for the Ascension Parish Sheriff’s Office, Donovan Jackson, said on Sunday: “This is an ongoing investigation. Further details may be limited at this time.” He is currently being held without bond.

GLEN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — In a forest near Lake Michigan, two scientists attached a backpack tracking device to a merlin they'd lured into a net. The mission: help prevent the predatory species from gobbling up piping plovers — highly endangered shorebirds that nest nearby.
Merlins themselves were going downhill decades ago but are recovering, thanks to bans on pesticides such as DDT. That's good for them — but not for plovers in the Great Lakes region, where only 65 to 70 pairs remain. The small falcons are "are a big threat to their recovery," said Nathan Cooper, a research ecologist with Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute.
The situation is ironic. A troubled species rebounds thanks to restoration efforts, only to make things worse for others in peril by preying on them or outcompeting them for food and living space. Similar circumstances have turned up elsewhere, challenging wildlife experts who want them all to thrive in balanced, healthy environments.
For instance, the iconic bald eagle's comeback has pressured rare water birds. Resurgent peregrine falcons menace endangered California least terns and Western snowy plovers that take refuge at naval bases near San Diego. And, off the California coast, attacks from protected white sharks hinder recovery of threatened sea otters.
Gray seals previously on the brink of extirpation in waters of New England now occupy some Massachusetts beaches by the hundreds. The 800-pound mammal's return has raised worries about vulnerable fish stocks.
Such unintended consequences don't necessarily reveal flaws in the U.S. Endangered Species Act or conservation programs, experts say. Rather, they illustrate nature's complexity and the importance of protecting biological communities, not just individual species.
"Clearly there are occasions when we get these conflicts between species that we're trying to protect," said Stuart Pimm, a Duke University extinction specialist. "But is it a major worry in conservation? No."
Species recoveries can produce tradeoffs, since some animals are more adaptable than others to changes in the climate or landscape, said Bruce Stein, chief scientist with the National Wildlife Federation.
"A lot of ecosystems where these things are occurring are a little out of whack to begin with because we've altered them in some way," Stein said. "With climate change, there are going to be winners and losers. The losers will tend to have specific habitat requirements, narrow ecological niches, and often will be the ones already declining."
OUTSMARTING A MERLIN
Smithsonian interns Tim Baerwald and Zachary Bordner snared the merlin at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore with help from its natural enemy: a great horned owl. This one was dead but fitted with remote-control devices to make it hoot and flap its wings.
The merlin darted overhead, sounding high-pitched, rapid-fire distress calls. It dove into a net stretched between steel poles. The scientists gently disentangled the brownish-speckled female, then attached the tracker and a leg band.
"As long as it's fitted correctly, she'll have a long and happy life," Baerwald said before Bordner released the merlin, which zipped back to its nesting tree.
Merlin numbers in the region have jumped since the DDT ban in 1972. They're suspected of killing at least 57 adult piping plovers in the past 10 to 15 years, said Cooper of Smithsonian.
The sandy-backed, ring-necked plovers skitter along beaches nibbling tiny marine animals and eggs. They're among three remaining North American populations, their decline caused primarily by habitat loss and predation.
While officials have shot some merlins, they're looking for non-lethal controls. Data from the transmitter backpacks might help determine whether capturing and relocating them is worth trying, said Vince Cavalieri, a biologist with the national lakeshore.
EAGLES THREATEN RARE BIRDS
Recovery of America's national bird, the bald eagle, is a triumph. But in one area of coastal Maine, the big raptor poses a problem for the only U.S. breeding population of great cormorants.
"When they're disturbed by eagles, the adult cormorants will flush and leave their nests," said Don Lyons, a conservation scientist at the National Audubon Society's Seabird Institute.
Then gulls, ravens and crows swoop in to gobble cormorant eggs and chicks. "If this happens repeatedly, an entire colony can fail," Lyons said.
His team organizes volunteers to camp near cormorant gatherings to scare away eagles.
In Southern California, least terns and snowy plovers are no match for attacking peregrine falcons, which like eagles bounced back after the ban on DDT. Such pesticides are passed up food chains and cause large birds to produce eggs with thin shells, which females crush when trying to incubate them.
The San Diego Zoo and Wildlife Alliance tries to protect the endangered birds by hiring a falconer to capture problem peregrines, keeping them in a holding facility over winter or releasing them in Northern California. Some find a new territory, while others go back, said Nacho Vilchis, a conservation ecologist.
"If there's a real problem bird that keeps returning, we may ask for permission for lethal removal, but that's only rarely done," Vilchis said.
Hunting and bounties devastated New England's gray seals. Saved by the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972, the population has rebounded to tens of thousands.
Fishing groups contend the seals could threaten cod stocks that regulators are struggling to rebuild after decades of overfishing.
The Coastal Ecosystem Alliance, based in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, wants to weaken the protection act to allow hunting and slow the seals' population growth, said board member Peter Krogh.
"Gray seals are certainly this case where recovery has both been cause for celebration and cause for concern," said Kristina Cammen, a University of Maine marine mammal scientist who says they're less of a hazard to fish populations than humans are.
SEALS, CORMORANTS BEDEVIL FISHERS
Like the clash over seals and cod, there are other cases where reviving species may be more a nuisance to people than a threat to other wildlife.
Fish farmers in the South and anglers in the Great Lakes region and Pacific Northwest have long complained about the double-crested cormorant, a dark-feathered diving bird that gorges on catfish, perch, salmon and other prized species.
Cormorants have done so well since the DDT ban that agencies have tried limiting them in some locations with egg oiling, nest destruction and even shooting — drawing lawsuits from environmentalists who say the birds are a scapegoat for human actions that harm fish.
"They're a part of our avian community and our ecosystems, and there needs to be a place for them," said Dave Fielder, a fisheries research biologist with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. "But when their numbers are so high that they potentially decimate the recreational fishery, that's a problem."
Wild turkeys were spread across North America before European settlement but had dwindled to tens of thousands by the 1930s, disappearing from many states. Now they're hunted in 49 states and are so common in New England that they often cause traffic tie-ups.
Some hunters say hungry turkeys are outcompeting ruffed grouse, which are decreasing in parts of their range, such as the Upper Midwest. But scientists point to habitat loss and climate change.
The National Wild Turkey Federation is helping move turkeys from states with plenty — such as North Carolina, Maine and West Virginia — to Texas and others that could use more, said Mark Hatfield, national director of conservation services.
"If you introduce hunting localized wild turkeys, you reduce the problem with overabundant turkeys right away," Hatfield said.
NATURE AT WORK
Conflicts between recovering species and ones still in trouble don't always mean something is wrong, scientists say. It could reflect a return to how things were before humans got in the way.
"When a population gets back to where it's having the same interactions with other organisms as before it went down, that's nature at work," said John Fitzpatrick, emeritus director of Cornell University's Laboratory of Ornithology.
The bald eagle is "challenging our preconceived notions about what's normal" for prey such as great cormorants in New England and common murres on the West Coast, which might have been less abundant before eagles declined, said Lyons of the Audubon Society.
The eagle's recovery "complicates the conservation of certain other species," Lyons said. "But their recovery is such a wonderful outcome ... that's a welcome complication."
Predator-prey relationships are complex and intervening can be tricky, said Stein of the wildlife federation. It's often wiser, he said, to focus on protecting habitat and reconnecting fragmented landscapes to promote natural migration than "moving things around willy-nilly."
But environmental scientist Ian Warkentin, a merlin specialist, said there can be ways to help struggling species without being heavy-handed. Larger falcons — such as peregrines sometimes used to chase birds from airports — might be deployed to shoo merlins from plover nesting areas.
"I fall on the side of the fence that says we should do whatever we can ... to aid the recovery of species for which we've caused such grief," said Warkentin, from Memorial University of Newfoundland's Grenfell Campus. | https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/national/as-species-recover-some-threaten-others-in-more-dire-shape | 2022-08-02T03:21:06Z | https://www.news5cleveland.com/news/national/as-species-recover-some-threaten-others-in-more-dire-shape | true | 44 |

Religion at heart of Amish attack defense
CLEVELAND -- A group of Amish men and women accused of hate crimes in hair-cutting attacks took action out of concern that members of their religion were straying from their beliefs, defense attorneys said yesterday.
The attorneys didn't deny the hair cuttings took place. Instead, they argued that the Amish are bound by different rules guided by their religion and that the government shouldn't get involved in what amounted to a family or church dispute.
At the center of the trial, which opened this week in federal court, are the rules of a religion that distances itself from the outside world and yields to a collective order, as opposed to the laws of society. "These are religious separatists," said Ed Bryan, the attorney for the group's accused ringleader.
Prosecutors say the attacks were motivated solely by religious disagreements between Amish bishops and a breakaway group in eastern Ohio that attacked mainstream members five times last fall by cutting off their beards and hair, which carry spiritual significance in the faith.
"Every one of these attacks targeted those symbols of Amish righteousness," said Assistant U.S. Attorney Bridget M. Brennan.
Some of the victims and others from the community will testify against relatives.
The 16 on trial live in a settlement near the West Virginia panhandle. All but one is related to the accused ringleader, Sam Mullet Sr., who sat rigidly in court with a beard down to the middle of his chest.
The defendants have rejected plea bargain offers and could face lengthy prison terms if convicted. | https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/religion-at-heart-of-amish-attack-defense-w73541 | 2022-08-02T03:40:24Z | https://www.newsday.com/news/nation/religion-at-heart-of-amish-attack-defense-w73541 | false | 1 |

How Did We Make This List of the Top THC Vape Cartridges?
Our researchers knew at the beginning that creating a list of the best THC cartridges for sale would require looking at several characteristics that make a product great. So, to develop our list, we looked at things like:
- Price: We believe that everyone should have access to high-quality THC cartridges, so we made sure to include products that are both affordable and premium quality.
- Potency: All of the products on our list are potent and designed to give users a powerful THC vaping experience.
- Flavor: We know that flavor is important to many THC vapers, so we only included products with great-tasting flavors.
- Testing: We only included products that have been third-party lab tested for safety and potency, with detailed lab reports readily available on the company’s website.
- Customer Reviews: We read thousands of customer reviews to better understand the products’ real-world performance as well as the brand’s reputation.
By examining all of these factors and combining the results with our personal experiences, our team was able to compile the above list of best THC cartridges made using only the highest quality ingredients and manufacturing process.
How Do THC Cartridges Work?
While wildly popular as a fast and easy consumption method of THC, the mechanics of how THC carts work is a mystery to many users. Here, we’ll give a brief overview of how these devices operate so that you can better understand the product you’re using – and maybe even gain insight into the right THC vape cartridge for you.
Specific designs may vary from company to company, but THC vape cartridges typically contain:
- A mouthpiece: This is the part you put your lips on and suck the vapor through.
- A heating element: This vaporizes the liquid inside the cartridge so it can be inhaled.
- A wick: This soaks up the oil and delivers it to the heating element.
- A thread: This allows the cartridge to be screwed onto a vape battery.
- A chamber: This is where the oil is stored.
When a THC cartridge is screwed into a vape pen battery, the heating element is activated and begins to heat up the liquid inside the chamber. This liquid – which can contain THC, CBD, terpenes, and other cannabinoids – is vaporized and can then be inhaled by the user through the mouthpiece.
Vape pens don’t automatically stay on – they require the user to press a button to activate the heating element. This ensures that the vape pen battery doesn’t accidentally turn on and waste battery life or product.
Heating is typically performed by a ceramic coil, which is considered the best material for vaporizing liquids as it doesn’t alter the product’s flavor and provides even heating. However, some companies also use quartz coils, which heat up more quickly than ceramic but don’t last as long.
Inhaling THC vapor from heated oil in the chamber causes fast absorption into the bloodstream through the lungs. In most cases, users report feeling the effects of vaped THC oil within minutes, making it one of the fastest ways to experience the benefits of THC.
Vape cartridges can come in varying sizes, with the most popular being .5gram and 1gram. When a vape cartridge has run out of oil, it can simply be disposed of and replaced with a new one. Additionally, vape cartridges can be exchanged anytime for those who prefer specific strains at certain times of the day or night.
What Are the Benefits of THC?
Tetrahydrocannabinol – or THC – is the primary psychoactive compound found in cannabis plants. This cannabinoid is responsible for many of the plant’s effects, both recreational and medicinal. Some of the potential benefits associated with products containing THC from hemp cannabis plants include:
- Relief from chronic pain and inflammation
- Reduced anxiety and stress
- Improved sleep quality
- Lower frequency of epileptic seizures
THC has also been shown to have neuroprotective qualities, which could help slow the progression of degenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. However, it is essential to note that many of these benefits have been attributed specifically to Delta-9 THC, as this cannabinoid has been studied the most.
But, while Delta-9 THC remains the most widely studied of the cannabinoids found in hemp plants – it isn’t the only one that could offer similar (if not more potent) potential benefits.
Delta-8 THC, for example, is widely considered a more potent anti-inflammatory agent than its more widely known counterpart due to its function in the hemp plant as a natural insecticide. In addition, this cannabinoid has also been shown to bind more strongly than Delta-9 THC to the CB1 receptors in the brain – which could make it more effective at treating conditions like anxiety and stress.
But the most significant benefit of Delta-8 THC? Less risk of paranoia and anxiety compared to Delta-9, making it an excellent option for first-time cannabis users or those who are looking for a milder vaping experience.
Some THC users have also found personal wellness benefits in other THC derivatives such as THC-O, THC-V, THC-p, and Delta-10 THC. Each of these cannabinoids offers a unique set of advantages and effects, so it’s worth researching to see which could be the best fit for you and your wellness needs.
Ultimately, the THC cartridge that provides you with the best benefits will be a personal choice. Whether for general wellness or symptom relief, there’s a THC product that can suit your needs – you might just have to try a few to find the right one.
Are There Risks to Vaping THC?
The effects of smoking tobacco products have created the assumption that all inhaled substances are harmful to the lungs. However, this isn’t necessarily true – especially when it comes to cannabis vaping.
While overconsumption of any substance can lead to adverse effects, research has shown that cannabis vaping may have far fewer risks to lung health than smoking. While the significant differences between mass-produced cannabis and tobacco products are still being studied, the general lack of additives and other harmful chemicals in most cannabis vaping products is promising.
Additionally, the fact that cannabis users can control how much THC they consume by regulating the amount they vape as well as the heat at which they vape makes it easier to avoid adverse mental and physical side effects.
While the risks of vaping are still being studied, the side effects are generally considered to be mild – especially when compared to smoking. Some of the more commonly reported side effects of vaping THC include:
- Dry mouth
- Dry eyes
- Bronchial irritation
- Shortness of breath
- Increased heart rate
These side effects typically dissipate after a few days, with lowered THC concentrations or by reducing the heat or frequency of use. However, if you experience any adverse effects while vaping, it’s always best to consult with a medical professional.
To ensure minimal discomfort or side effects when vaping, look for high-quality THC cartridges made using pure, natural ingredients. Organically grown hemp plants free from pesticides and other harmful chemicals will offer the safest, most effective vaping experience.
What Does Vaping THC Feel Like?
How you feel after vaping THC will depend on many factors, including the type of THC, your body chemistry, the quality of the product, and how much you vape. In general, most people report feeling:
- Calmer
- More relaxed
- Creative
- Energetic
- Euphoric
- Active
- Motivated
- Less anxious
The effects you experience will also depend on whether you’re using a pure THC oil or a cartridge containing other cannabinoids like CBD or terpenes. For example, if you’re using a cartridge with high concentrations of the citrusy terpene limonene, you may find yourself feeling more uplifted and energetic. In comparison, a cartridge with higher levels of the woodsy terpene myrcene could leave you feeling more relaxed.
Additionally, if your cartridge contains CBD, the non-psychoactive cannabinoid known for its calming effect, you may find that it helps to offset any anxiety or paranoia that can be associated with THC.
When it comes to finding the perfect THC cartridge for your needs, it’s all about experimentation. Try out a few different options to see which offers the desired effects and best suits your personal preferences.
How Long Do THC Cartridges Last in Storage?
THC oil extracted from hemp plants can last up to two years when stored properly. When stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, the oil will maintain its potency and freshness for an extended period of time.
To get the most out of your THC cartridge, it’s best to use it within six months of extraction. Most cannabis growers agree that cannabinoids are at their peak potency within this time frame. However, after six months, degradation of the THC will begin to occur, slowly reducing potency and effectiveness over time. You can check extraction dates by reading detailed lab reports available on each company’s website or on the product packaging.
For most, two years is more than enough time to finish a THC cartridge, considering that most people use up the carts within a month. However, if you find yourself with a surplus of oil purchased at a significant discount from one of the vendors above and want to ensure it remains fresh for future use, storing it in the fridge can help to prolong its shelf life. Furthermore, storing your carts upright and out of direct sunlight will also help to keep them fresh for longer.
If you’re unsure whether your cartridge is still good to use, it’s always best to err on the side of caution and discard it. Even if it hasn’t changed color and looks the same as it did when you first bought it, older oil may not produce the same effects and could lead to an unpleasant experience.
Is THC Legal?
THC products sourced from hemp plants are entirely legal on the federal level in the USA, provided that harvested batches of hemp contain less than the federally mandated 0.3% THC concentration.
Because of this 2018 change to federal law, other hemp-derived THC derivatives have also been removed from the list of controlled substances, including:
Delta-8 THC
Delta-8 THC is a hemp-derived cannabinoid that shares many similarities with its more well-known counterpart, Delta-9 THC. However, Delta-8 THC is said to offer a less intense psychoactive experience than Delta-9, making it a popular choice for those looking for the benefits of THC without the associated couch lock or anxiety.
While Delta-8 THC is federally legal in the USA, it’s important to check your state laws as some states have placed restrictions on the cannabinoid.
THC-O-Acetate
THC-O-acetate is a chemical derivative of THC that’s said to offer a more intense psychoactive experience. It’s not as commonly found in cannabis products as Delta-8 or Delta-9 THC, but it can be extracted from hemp plants and used to make THC carts.
Like Delta-8 THC, THC-O-acetate is federally legal in the USA but may be subject to state-level restrictions.
Delta-10 THC
Delta-10 THC is an isomer of THC that’s said to offer a more mild psychoactive experience. It’s not as commonly found in cannabis products as Delta-8 or Delta-9 THC, but it can be extracted from hemp plants and added to THC oil cartridges to help stimulate the entourage effect.
As a more niche cannabinoid, Delta-10 products are not as widely available as those containing other THC isomers. However, they can be purchased online from a variety of retailers.
Always remember that while THC cannabinoids are federally legal in the USA and, in many cases, safe to travel with, traveling with THC products internationally may result in serious legal repercussions. So make sure to check the laws of the countries you’re traveling to and from before packing any products made with THC in your luggage.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is vaping the same as smoking?
No. Vaping and smoking are two different methods of consuming cannabis. Vaping involves heating cannabis products to release the active compounds without actually setting them on fire, while smoking entails burning the plant material and inhaling the smoke. Many people prefer vaping over smoking as they don’t have to worry about inhaling harmful toxins associated with combustion.
2. Is it safe to vape THC oil?
Yes, vaping any type of THC is generally considered safe. However, as with any cannabis product, there is always a slight risk of adverse side effects, such as bronchial discomfort or dry mouth. Always make sure you are using THC vape cartridges that have been quality tested by third-party labs and proven to contain no harmful contaminants.
3. How many puffs are in a vape cartridge?
Vape carts can contain up to 1000 puffs depending on the cartridge’s size and the vape’s heat setting. Half-gram cartridges will typically contain 200-500 puffs with higher-end brands, while full-gram carts can have up to 1000 puffs. Infrequent vapers will find that puffing on a cartridge a few times per day will give them up to two weeks of use, while more frequent vapers may only get a few days out of a single cartridge.
4. How long will I feel the effects of vaping?
Vaping causes an almost immediate onset of the effects of THC. Within minutes, you will begin to feel the psychoactive and physiological effects of the THC start to set in. These effects can last for two to three hours, depending on the strength of the strain, the quality of the oil, and the frequency of use. Be aware that specific factors such as gender, body weight, metabolism, and medications being taken can increase or decrease the length of time you experience THC effects from vaping.
5. How do I get cheap vape cartridges?
Getting affordable vape cartridges is possible in several ways. The easiest way is to sign up for newsletters with companies that sell THC vape cartridges and wait for them to offer discounts and coupons. Additionally, you can subscribe to services that send out boxes of cannabis products each month for a discounted price. You can also find THC vape cartridges on sale and new product promotions by following manufacturers on social media sites.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor homered, Max Scherzer defeated his former team, and the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 7-3 Monday night for their seventh consecutive victory on the eve of ace Jacob deGrom’s season debut.
Washington slugger Juan Soto homered off Scherzer in what could be his final game with the Nationals. Soto, who walked in his other three plate appearances, is perhaps the biggest star who could be dealt before Tuesday’s trade deadline.
Several teammates could also leave Washington as the Nationals, who own the majors’ worst record at 35-69 and have lost four of five, look to sell for the second consecutive year.
The first-place Mets could acquire some more pieces at the deadline, but their biggest addition will likely be deGrom. The two-time NL Cy Young Award winner, shut down in spring training with a stress reaction in his right scapula, has not pitched in the majors since July 2021 and will come off the injured list Tuesday. He missed the second half of last season with right forearm tightness and a sprained elbow.
Regardless of any potential moves, New York had more than enough Monday to handle Patrick Corbin (4-15) and the Nationals. Jeff McNeil, Tomás Nido and Starling Marte all had RBI singles in the second, and Alonso lined his 27th homer into the visitors’ bullpen in left field an inning later.
Alonso’s homer was the fifth of his career against Corbin, his most against any pitcher. He is a .382 lifetime hitter (13 for 34) against the left-hander.
Lindor added a three-run drive in the sixth off reliever Steve Cishek as New York improved to 9-2 this season against Washington.
Scherzer (7-2) won two Cy Young Awards with Washington, made six All-Star appearances in seven seasons and helped the Nationals win the 2019 World Series before getting dealt to the Dodgers at last year’s trade deadline. He allowed three runs (two earned) in 6 2/3 innings and struck out five. The right-hander is 2-1 with a 1.62 ERA in six starts since returning from the injured list July 5.
Soto, a two-time All-Star and one of the few pivotal pieces remaining from Washington’s 2019 title team, was loudly applauded throughout the night. He walked in the first, moved to third on Josh Bell’s double and scored on Marte’s throwing error from right field. Soto also belted Scherzer’s pitch in the fourth to center field for his 21st homer of the season and 119th — and perhaps last — with the Nationals.
Corbin, who leads the majors in losses, allowed four runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings while striking out four. He has lost five consecutive starts, posting a 10.29 ERA in that span.
New York leadoff man Brandon Nimmo had four hits, his most since collecting a career-high five against Baltimore on Aug. 15, 2018.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mets: RHP Trevor May (triceps inflammation) pitched Saturday and Sunday for Triple-A Syracuse. Manager Buck Showalter said May could be activated as early as Wednesday. … C James McCann (left oblique strain) homered for Double-A Binghamton during a rehab assignment Sunday and could be activated as soon as Thursday. … Showalter said 1B/DH Dominic Smith (right ankle sprain) could begin a rehab assignment later this week. … New York sent RHP R.J. Alvarez outright to Syracuse.
Nationals: OF Victor Robles, who missed Sunday’s game with leg cramps, returned to the lineup. … Washington selected the contract of INF Ildemaro Vargas from Triple-A Rochester.
NATS DEAL ADRIANZA
Washington sent utility man Ehire Adrianza to Atlanta for minor league outfielder Trey Harris. Adrianza hit .179 with no homers and seven RBIs in 31 games for the Nationals. The 26-year-old Harris hit .238 with two homers and 16 RBIs in 59 games for Double-A Mississippi.
UP NEXT
Mets: DeGrom makes his first major league start since July 7, 2021. He is 9-4 with a 2.44 ERA in 21 career starts against Washington.
Nationals: RHP Cory Abbott (0-0, 2.25) also makes his first start of the season Tuesday night.

Tatarstan entrepreneurs owe 2 billion rubles of taxes since beginning of the year
In Tatarstan, the Investigative Committee initiated 16 criminal cases against entrepreneurs at the beginning of the year on the materials of tax audits. The total amount of arrears amounted to 2 billion rubles, said the head of the Federal Tax Service of the Republic of Tatarstan, Marat Safiullin.
According to the agency, eight criminal cases against businesses were initiated after tax audits on the basis of Articles 32 and 82 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation. The amount of unpaid taxes amounted to 1,238 billion rubles.
Eight more criminal cases have been initiated based on the materials of on-site tax audits, the unpaid amount of taxes amounted to 823 million rubles. For example, during a joint inspection with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a fictitious scheme of document management has been revealed.
“It was proved that the work was actually carried out by the taxpayer's own forces, as a result, an amount of 241 million rubles was accrued under the act," the head of the Federal Tax Service for Tatarstan gave an example. It was not named against whom criminal cases have been initiated.
Immediately after the initiation of criminal cases, the businesses transferred 1,4 billion rubles to the treasury, added Marat Safiullin, the head of the Federal Tax Service of the Republic of Tatarstan.
In Tatarstan, 560 large and medium-sized enterprises reduced income tax deductions by 10 billion rubles for the second quarter of 2022. According to the forecast of the head of the Federal Tax Service for the republic, in the next quarter, a decrease in income tax receipts may fall by another third. If 61,7 billion rubles were collected in the second quarter, then a sharp decline to 35 billion is expected in the third. | https://realnoevremya.com/articles/6520-tatarstan-enterpreneurs-owe-2bn-rub-of-taxes | 2022-08-02T04:01:19Z | https://realnoevremya.com/articles/6520-tatarstan-enterpreneurs-owe-2bn-rub-of-taxes | false | 1 |

Day five at Commonwealth Games: Alice Kinsella bids for two gymnastics golds
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Alice KinsellaBritish artistic gymnast
- Cyrille TchatchetCameroonian weightlifter
Alice Kinsella will look to shrug off her disappointment in the women’s all-around final when she bids for two gymnastics golds on Tuesday, while Cyrille Tchatchet could cap a fairytale story with a medal in the men’s weightlifting.
Here, the PA news agency looks forward to day five and reflects on some of Monday’s highlights.
TUESDAY HIGHLIGHTS
KINSELLA REDEMPTION
Two days after her tearful exit from contention for the women’s all-around title when she fell on the beam, Birmingham-born Alice Kinsella returns in search of individual apparatus gold on the same apparatus as well as the women’s floor. Meanwhile Jake Jarman, who is in the vault final, and Joe Fraser, who competes in the parallel bars and horizontal bar, could yet end their Games with four gold medals apiece.
NICE ONE CYRILLE
There are stories of sporting redemption and then there is the case of Cyrille Tchatchet, who quit the Cameroon team during the 2014 Games, contemplated suicide, and was eventually arrested and sought asylum. Tchatchet is now a mental health nurse in the west midlands, the proud owner of a British passport, and a medal contender in the men’s 96kg weightlifting category.
KNIGHT RETURNS
Heather Knight could return to captain England against South Africa after missing the five-wicket win over Sri Lanka because of lingering hip trouble. Alice Capsey should be OK after starring at the weekend despite a black eye she suffered in the warm-up. Another victory for the hosts would move them to the brink of the semi-finals.
SOCIAL MEDIA MOMENT

PICTURE OF THE DAY
MONDAY MARVELS
QUEEN KENNY
Dame Laura Kenny delivered a belated Commonwealth gold for England on the final day of the track cycling in the Lee Valley VeloPark. A late burst of speed saw Kenny overhaul Neah Evans plus New Zealand’s Michaela Drummond and Canada’s Maggie Coles-Lysterto win the women’s scratch race, earning her the second Commonwealth gold medal of her illustrious career.
MINT MURRAY
Chris Murray won gold in the men’s 81kg weightlifting final after Australia’s Kyle Bruce and Canadian Nicolas Vachon failed to overtake him in dramatic circumstances. Murray set a new Games record of 325kg before Bruce’s bigger effort was ruled out by the jury because his elbow was bent. Vachon was then denied gold after he dropped the bar following what appeared to be a clean lift. | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/day-five-commonwealth-games-alice-033051404.html?src=rss | 2022-08-02T04:06:03Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/day-five-commonwealth-games-alice-033051404.html?src=rss | false | 1 |
(JTA) — When Benjamin Netanyahu, then Israel’s prime minister, failed to meet his own deadline to announce a plan to annex portions of the West Bank during the summer of 2020, it wasn’t just his usual critics and advocates for the prompt creation of a Palestinian state who breathed a sigh of relief.
The missed deadline was also a relief to insiders at the Trump White House, who knew that annexation would derail their ambitious effort to make peace between Israel and the United Arab Emirates.
In fact, the very afternoon of the annexation deadline, a leading member of the Emirati negotiating team had for the first time told White House officials that if Netanyahu abandoned annexation, their country would fully normalize relations with Israel. But the officials did not know what Netanyahu would do.
That is one detail contained in “Breaking History,” Jared Kushner’s book about his stint as special advisor to President Donald Trump, his father-in-law, in which Kushner describes the secretive negotiations that would result in the Abraham Accords, the historic normalization agreements between Israel and multiple Arab and Muslim countries.
While much of what happened behind the scenes was established when the accords were announced or has been revealed in the two years since the first deal, Kushner’s book adds new details as well as a first-person account from a Trump administration official assumed by many to be advocating for Israel within the White House.
In the end, in part because of the normalization deals, Trump is seen by many as having been a steadfast ally to Israel and its hawkish prime minister. But according to Kushner’s account, portions of which the Jewish Telegraphic Agency obtained in advance of its Aug. 23 release, Trump came close to a major breach in relations over the annexation plan.
At one point, Kushner writes, two top officials — Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and Avi Berkowitz, a Kushner aide — “made clear” that Netanyahu was running the risk of Trump publicly opposing annexation.
“Additionally, with annexation, Bibi risked near-unanimous condemnation at the United Nations,” Kushner added. “And if he went forward unilaterally, there was no guarantee that our administration would block the international sanctions against Israel that might follow.”
In the end, Kushner writes, Netanyahu appears to have been convinced that annexation would be too costly for him and that normalization agreements would be a more substantive boon for his legacy. But he says the Israeli leader — known for being a cautious and stubborn negotiator, willing to move goalposts in negotiations — didn’t go along easily with the accords being negotiated by the White House without the direct involvement of Israeli officials. Even as the deal with the United Arab Emirates neared completion, Kushner writes, Netanyahu revised his cooperation to say that the United States would need to broker three agreements, not just one, for him to set aside annexation.
“I couldn’t believe it,” Kushner writes.
The negotiations came during the spring and summer of 2020, when Netanyahu was struggling to cling to power and Kushner was trying to sell a detailed peace plan that he had authored earlier that year, as well as explore brokering ties between Israel and Arab countries that would break the logjam of Middle East relations.
What had appeared to be a triumphal moment at the peace plan’s January 2020 announcement had quickly turned into tension after Netanyahu tied the plan to annexation. “That was not what we had negotiated,” Kushner writes, according to an excerpt obtained by the Times of Israel in which Kushner says Friedman had unilaterally assured Netanyahu that Trump would back his annexation bid. (Friedman disputed that account to Times of Israel.)
Kushner suggests that he had been a consistent voice for Palestinians at the negotiating table, writing that since meeting with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in 2017, he had been pressing for to draw a map that would delineate two states that were separate and also beneficial to both sides.
“We were struggling to convince Bibi, a master negotiator, to agree to a compromise that would give tangible life improvements to the Palestinians,” he writes.
Ultimately, Kushner deprioritized the peace proposal in favor of the Abraham Accords, which he emphasizes inaugurated new business opportunities for Israelis and Emiratis as soon as the first was signed. Having negotiated the first deal entirely without direct talks between the two sides — an unprecedented arrangement — Kushner describes the heady atmosphere of Abu Dhabi during the celebratory convening as that of a “blind date.” Even on the first night of the trip, he writes, Israeli and Emirati officials began talking about ways to tie their financial systems together. The emphasis is notable given Kushner’s post-White House efforts to broker business deals leveraging the Abraham Accords.
Among the other notable details in “Breaking History”:
- In Kushner’s telling, it was the United Arab Emirates that initiated peace with Israel. Ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba told Kushner at a May 2019 meeting at the Trump aide’s home that his country was ready to move forward with full normalization with Israel, according to Kushner’s account. “I tried to hide my excitement behind a poker face, but my mind was spinning,” Kushner writes. Later, Kushner says, Al Otaiba would make clear his country preferred to negotiate with the Trump team rather than directly with the Israelis.
- The United States wasn’t the only country considering serious consequences if Netanyahu moved forward with annexation. The United Kingdom warned that it would recognize Palestine as a sovereign state if annexation took place, in a threat that was first reported in an Israeli journalist’s book earlier this year. Kushner writes that he responded to the threat by arguing for annexation in an effort to prevent British officials from learning about the normalization talks.
- The name “Abraham Accords” wasn’t coined until just hours before the first deal was announced. “Until then, we had been so busy ironing out details that we hadn’t thought to name the agreement,” Kushner writes. As Jewish Insider reported in January, the name was the brainchild of U.S. Army Gen. Miguel Correa, who led the U.S. negotiations alongside Berkowitz.
- Kushner explains the backstory of the Torah that he gave to the king of Bahrain, the second country to strike an accord with Israel. In 2019, he organized a conference there to advance the economic portions of his peace efforts; he recalls that the “Peace to Prosperity” workshop occasioned the first minyan, or prayer quorum, in a historic Bahraini synagogue in decades. “It was a profoundly moving experience for those who attended, but they noticed that the synagogue lacked a Torah scroll, which had to be written by hand,” Kushner writes. “Upon hearing this, I personally commissioned one to be made for the synagogue.” The Torah was installed at the synagogue in Manama, now newly renovated, in May 2021.
- In an episode that had not previously been revealed, Kushner describes being treated for thyroid cancer in 2019. He says he chose not to share details about his health beyond a tight inner circle that initially did not include the president because of its personal nature, according to a report in the New York Times. | https://jewishjournal.org/2022/08/01/netanyahus-annexation-vow-threatened-abraham-accords-and-us-support-jared-kushner-says-in-new-book/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=netanyahus-annexation-vow-threatened-abraham-accords-and-us-support-jared-kushner-says-in-new-book | 2022-08-02T04:15:09Z | https://jewishjournal.org/2022/08/01/netanyahus-annexation-vow-threatened-abraham-accords-and-us-support-jared-kushner-says-in-new-book/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=netanyahus-annexation-vow-threatened-abraham-accords-and-us-support-jared-kushner-says-in-new-book | true | 4 |

Roddick stunned by unseeded player from Taiwan
WIMBLEDON, England - Andy Roddick's mood was subdued, his words curt.
Once again, he's leaving Wimbledon without the champion's trophy. But this time Roddick heads home much earlier than a year ago - and after being beaten by a much less accomplished opponent.
The No. 5-seeded American erased an early deficit to even his fourth-round match against 82nd-ranked Yen-Hsun Lu of Taiwan yesterday, then got broken for the only time all day in the very last game and lost, 4-6, 7-6 (3), 7-6 (4), 6-7 (5), 9-7, despite hitting 38 aces.
"It never gets easier," said Roddick, a three-time runner-up at Wimbledon. "Of course I'm going to be -- off when I wake up tomorrow. I mean, if you got fired from your job, you probably wouldn't wake up the next day in a great mood."
This one sure looked like a mismatch going in, and not only because Roddick won all three previous meetings in straight sets.
Roddick, is a former No. 1 who won the 2003 U.S. Open and played in four other major finals, losing each to Roger Federer, including 16-14 in the fifth set at the All England Club last year.
And Lu? The guy arrived last week with a 6-18 career record in majors, including five consecutive first-round exits. He lost in Wimbledon's first round the previous four years. So even he had doubts as the match stretched beyond 41/2 hours.
"Fifth set, I don't believe I can win, because he's [a] better server than me," Lu said. "But I just tell myself, 'Even [if] I don't believe, I have to fight.' "
He pointed to the sky after ending the match with a forehand passing shot, dedicating the victory to his late father, a chicken farmer who died in 2000.
Lu's coach, Dirk Hordorff, said: "Sometimes he's mentally not strong enough. But today he showed he was strong enough."
With the temperature moving into the 80s and a cloudless sky, previous Wimbledon champions Federer, Rafael Nadal, Venus Williams and Serena Williams each won in straight sets.
"A wonderful day for the fans," said Federer, who beat No. 16 Jurgen Melzer in the main stadium, then observed, "Obviously, I know every corner of this Centre Court. It helps."
Serena Williams pounded 19 aces in her 7-6 (9), 6-4 victory over 2004 champion Maria Sharapova.
"I had a few looks at her serve," Sharapova said, "but even when you had a good look, and the ball's coming at you in the 120s [mph], it's pretty tough to do much with it."
In a matchup between former No. 1s and Grand Slam champions from Belgium who recently came out of retirement, No. 8 Kim Clijsters beat No. 17 Justine Henin, 2-6, 6-2, 6-3. Henin slid and tumbled to the grass in the match's third game, jarring her right elbow, and wasn't the same the rest of the way.
Third-seeded Novak Djokovic beat Lleyton Hewitt, 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, and No. 4 Andy Murray defeated No. 18 Sam Querrey, 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.
Lu's victory over Roddick was yesterday's most significant surprise, by far, but it wasn't the only one.
The 62nd-ranked Petra Kvitova knocked off No. 3 Caroline Wozniacki, last year's U.S. Open runner-up, 6-2, 6-0, and No. 82 Tsvetana Pironkova eliminated No. 11 Marion Bartoli, the 2007 Wimbledon runner-up, 6-4, 6-4. | https://www.newsday.com/sports/tennis/roddick-stunned-by-unseeded-player-from-taiwan-t31443 | 2022-08-02T04:20:40Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/tennis/roddick-stunned-by-unseeded-player-from-taiwan-t31443 | true | 1 |

Mayor Defends Busway Cuts, Citing ‘Community Concerns’ — Despite Improvements for Riders
Mayor Adams said he listened to the “community” when he decided to reduce the hours of two busway pilots that he made permanent earlier this year — but the community he’s citing clearly aren’t the bus riders whose lives he promised to improve just two months ago.
Back in June, Hizzoner, together with the MTA, vowed to improve the city’s beleaguered transit system by building out 150 miles of new bus lanes and busways over the next four years, including 20 by end of this year. But on Monday, even before he’d hit even five new miles of proposed bus lanes this year, the mayor justified his plans to cut the hours that the 181st Street car-free stretch in Washington Heights and Inwood from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., to 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. as one his “trademark” traits: listening to the community.
Adams claimed he was listening to local voices when he pulled a similar maneuver on the successful Main Street busway in Flushing, reducing its hours of operation from all day to 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. — effectively creating 13 fewer hours of busway for the congested neighborhood.
“There’s one thing that’s my trademark. I am going to always listen to communities. That’s what I’m going to do,” Adams said during an unrelated press conference on Monday, when asked by reporter Kevin Duggan how he reconciles New York’s (and his own) reputation as a 24-hour entity when Adams’s busways stop running before dark. (Duggan first reported Adams’s 181st Busway truncation on Sunday in amNY.)
“Community leaders communicated with us,” he said. “We heard them. We’re not going to be deaf to the voices of the people who actually live in the community and they use those buses.”

Adams didn’t name any specific “community leaders” upon which he’s basing his decision, but it’s clear from a June 23 Department of Transportation presentation regarding the new hours that he didn’t mean riders, but rather business owners, who have claimed confusion over regulations, loss of parking, and not enough loading zones.
Actual bus riders, on the other hand, according to a DOT survey, said that since the 181st Street busway went into effect, service has felt “more frequent” and “faster,” and the thoroughfare safer to cross. If Adams had actually listened to riders as part of the “community,” then he would not have sacrificed workers’ time who traverse 181st Street to and from the Bronx and their jobs in Washington Heights, according to Danny Pearlstein of Riders Alliance.
“Evening commuters aren’t in any less of a hurry than riders working nine to five — in fact it’s the opposite,” he said. “And 181st Street is a direct line from the Bronx to major employment centers in Washington Heights, including New York Presbyterian Hospital. Which Bronxites were consulted before the busway was watered down?”
FWIW, 'communities' exactly the excuse @BilldeBlasio used whenever he felt like not doing more for bus riders.
The 'community' of a busway must include everyone who rides the bus there. 181st Street is a critical bus corridor for Bronxites who work in Manhattan. https://t.co/paLoMEzFLA
— Danny Pearlstein (@dannypearlstein) August 1, 2022
The 181st Street busway got off to a rocky start. It was first promised by ex-Mayor de Blasio way back in 2020 as a way to speed up commute times for struggling straphangers, who have had to suffer through abysmal 3.7 miles per hour speeds for too long.
Yet the red paint wasn’t rolled out until April, 2021. And according to DOT, the bus speeds almost immediately improved — up to 32 percent during morning and evening rush hour.
Nonetheless, despite benefiting riders, it was cut by two hours. And advocates were still fuming over the Main Street cuts.
“Under political pressure, (DOT) was forced to limit the hours of the (Main Street busway) — regardless of consequences to transit reliability and street safety. Traffic fatalities as a result of this decision will be noted,” said John Choe, the executive director of the Greater Flushing Chamber of Commerce.
One caveat to today's good news: under political pressure, @NYC_DOT was forced to limit the hours of #MainStreetBusway (from 24/7) to 6am to 7pm — regardless of consequences to transit reliability and street safety. Traffic fatalities as a result of this decision will be noted. pic.twitter.com/RxFD2NSGKb

On Jamaica Avenue in Jamaica, two pols who are allies of the mayor want the city to pull the plug on the busway entirely, claiming the dedicated bus lanes are inconveniencing drivers and hurting businesses.
And in Manhattan, a busway planned for Fifth Avenue never even made it to the actual paint-on-the-ground phase at all, thanks to both the current and former administrations deferring to mom-and-pop retailers like Armani, Dolce and Gabbana, and Tiffany and Co., instead of the city’s essential workers who rely on the people-movers.
But despite Adams defending his decision on Monday to scale back the two busways, reps from City Hall and the DOT claimed to Streetsblog later that day that the proposal to reduce hours is not “final.” | https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2022/08/02/mayor-defends-busway-cuts-citing-community-concerns-despite-improvements-for-riders/ | 2022-08-02T04:28:39Z | https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2022/08/02/mayor-defends-busway-cuts-citing-community-concerns-despite-improvements-for-riders/ | false | 1 |
WASHINGTON (NEXSTAR) — The White House is investing $1 billion to help communities face increasingly severe weather conditions.
Vice President Kamala Harris made the announcement at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida on Monday, the first day of hurricane season.
The White House said the money will go to more than 300 projects across the country. Harris said the funds are necessary to save lives and money down the road.
“(It will) protect the people of our nation,” Harris said. “Every year, more and more powerful hurricanes and tropical storms make landfall on the coast.”
She said the grant money will help communities prepare and respond to disasters by investing in more resilient infrastructure.
The announcement came as Kentucky faces deadly flooding and as wildfires spread in California and Montana.
“It has been devastating, what we are witnessing,” Harris said.
The $1 billion is double what the administration spent last year on resilient infrastructure projects, but the investment is an effort to meet growing demand for federal aid. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, communities last year requested a record-breaking $4.7 billion in resilient infrastructure grants.
“Climate change has become a climate crisis,” Harris said.
She said to save money down the road, the administration plans to double funding again next year to ensure every community has the tools it needs to survive.
Harris on Monday said Congress must take action to try to stop things from getting even worse. A plan Democrats say can help is currently being negotiated. | https://www.wrbl.com/washington-dc/vp-announces-1-billion-for-infrastructure-resilient-to-severe-weather/ | 2022-08-02T04:32:01Z | https://www.wrbl.com/washington-dc/vp-announces-1-billion-for-infrastructure-resilient-to-severe-weather/ | false | 15 |

How to Watch All Eight ‘Harry Potter’ Movies Once They Leave HBO Max Next Month
Click here to read the full article.
The competition among steamers to hold onto enduringly popular titles continues. For now, Peacock is winning the struggle to retain the “ Harry Potter ” franchise to the dismay of HBO Max , who will lose all eight films next month.
As of Aug. 31, all eight Warner Bros. titles will be leaving HBO Max: “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” “Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban,” “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,” “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” and “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows” Parts 1 and 2.
Those looking to stream the series will be able to find all eight films on NBC’s streaming service Peacock , which added them to the service on July 1. In order to access the films, you’ll have to sign up for either one of Peacock’s streaming subscriptions, Peacock Plus or Peacock Premium, which start at $5.99 a month. A subscription will also grant you access to other buzzy titles such as “Yellowstone” and “Girls5Eva.”
HBO Max will still have some magic come August, though. The streamer will still continue to host the three “ Fantastic Beasts ” movies — “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” and “Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore.” Also available to stream is the newly added “Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts” special, which sees an emotional reunion of stars Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson with director Chris Columbus.
In order to stream the prequel series and reunion special, you’ll have to subscribe to HBO Max, with plans starting at $9.99/month. On the streamer you’ll find a slew of Emmy-nominated series such as “Euphoria, “Succession,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Hacks” and “White Lotus.”

Lucas Kunce makes final campaign stop in Independence
INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (KCTV) - The Democratic primary ballot for U.S. Senate in Missouri has a slew of names, but polling suggests it has now come down to two: Lucas Kunce and Trudy Busch Valentine.
Kunce made his final stop in the city where he lives.
He sells himself as a populist: a lawyer who went to Yale on a Pell grant then served in the Marines after living paycheck to paycheck as a child.
“My family doesn’t have generational wealth,” Kunce told the crowd, a reference to his opponent who is an heiress whose campaign has been largely self-funded. “But I tell you what, that means I know how everyday Missourians live.”
About 50 people attended the rally, some longtime supporters, some just recently getting on board.
“This guy is a real deal. He’s a veteran like me. A 13-year Marine veteran and he wants to turn things around in this country,” said Bill Sunderland, who live in Independence.
“He can identify with some of the struggles I’ve had and I identify a lot with his struggles that he explained today, his family, his upbringing,” said Angie Isom, from Grandview. “I really get the grassroots thing and that really resonates with me.”
“He speaks out in favor of hard working people, and labor unions have been weakened in this country,” said North Kansas City voter Daniel Scharpenburg. “And also getting money out of politics I think is really important.”
Busch Valentine is a nurse from St. Louis whose family’s fortune came from Anheuser-Busch beer empire. He son died due to opioid addiction. She’s spoken about going after big pharma for their role in addiction and finding more money for addiction treatment services in underserved areas.
KCTV5′s polling shows Kunce behind Busch Valentine in the polls, but he’s led the pack in fundraising. He’s touted getting small donations in large number.
At Monday’s rally, he highlighted his military service when he decried Congress’s failure to provide benefits to veterans exposed to toxins from burn pits, then he pivoted seamlessly to abortion.
“They said we were fighting for freedom. And now look around. Looks what’s happened over the last few months. Where is freedom under attack? It’s right here. Just look at the Dobbs decision.”
The Dobbs decision is the United States Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.
Kunce reiterated his vow to not take money from lobbyists or PACs and positioned himself as the Democrat most likely to get crossover support in a red state.
“Talking about the burn pits. I published an OpEd on that. Does anybody know where I published it? Fox baby. I got it on Fox News. Because we’ve got to go after these people for their lies,” he said, garnering a roar of applause. “If you are afraid to get out of your bubble, you will never win.”
Missouri has open primaries, so you can vote on any party ticket, regardless of which party is on your voter registration, even if you’re not affiliated with a political party.
Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.

…As CSO urges adherence to laws
By Shina Abubakar
THE Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Osun State, yesterday, warned the state government and the State Independent Electoral Commission, OSIEC, to abort any plan to conduct local government election in the state.
The PDP, in a statement by its Director of Media, Oladele Olabamiji warned that there was a pending suit before the Federal High Court, Osogbo, in FHC/OS/CS/94/2022, which the party is challenging OSIEC on the planned illegal local government election, while at the same time urging the Court to restrain the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, from releasing voters’ register to OSIEC for non-compliance with the provisions of the Electoral Act 2022, concerning giving notice of elections, the nomination of candidates and publication of names etc.
The PDP said: “The public is invited to note the act of illegality and criminality being embarked upon by the outgoing Governor and his OSIEC, a body which to date has no legal backing for its existence.
“Despite being constituted close to two years ago with huge resources expended on the commission chairman, the secretary and staff, the commission has failed to conduct any Local Government election since then, until now when the Oyetola-led APC administration in Osun State has been voted out of power.
“We affirm that, under the Electoral Act 2022, a notice of any election must be given not later than 360 days before the election, and nomination of candidates for the election must not be later than 180 days before the election, while publication of names shall be a period not later than 150 days before the election.”
PDP should wait for its time – APC
But in a swift reaction, the All Progressives Congress, APC, through its Publicity Secretary, Wole Adunola, urged the PDP to wait till it gets to power before implementing policies it deems necessary for the state.
The APC said: “The PDP should wait for its turn to start implementing programmes and policies for the state. It should remember that the APC is still the ruling party till November 27 and will continue to do what it considers necessary for the state development.
“The PDP needs to know its boundary and act within such, instead of threatening the peace of the state.”
OSIEC reacts
Similarly, the Chairman of OSIEC, Segun Oladitan, in a statement, said the body is the only one saddled with the responsibility of conducting local government elections and would make available guidelines at the appropriate time.
The OSIEC boss said: “The only recognized body to announce the date for the Local Government Election is the Osun Independent Electoral Commission, hence, any date coming from any other source aside from OSIEC should be disregarded by the public. At the appropriate time, the Commission will come out with the election guidelines to put a stop to the unnecessary rumours being peddled around.”
CSO wants adherence to laws
On its part, a civil society organisation, The Osun Masterminds, TOM, during its monthly state of the state press briefing, addressed by the Executive Director, Dr Wasiu Oyedokun-Alli, said the state government is free to conduct local government election if it is ready to abide by the extant laws guiding such exercise.
Oyedokun-Alli said: “We wish to state unequivocally that if the current government deems it fit to conduct a local government election, it must only do so if all stakeholders, including the PDP, are carried along and all relevant laws are obeyed. We are a people governed by laws and must ensure that we do not at any point in time, fail to obey the laws of our land.
“The Local Government election is long overdue, but if the present government thinks it necessary to conduct, it must be about leaving it, a proper legacy of inclusive governance and not setting landmines for his successor. While there is a narrow line between these two, we believe that with inclusive planning, the fears will be addressed and the state will be the ultimate winner.” | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/08/osun-pdp-apc-osiec-trade-tackles-over-lg-poll/ | 2022-08-02T04:49:15Z | https://www.vanguardngr.com/2022/08/osun-pdp-apc-osiec-trade-tackles-over-lg-poll/ | false | 1 |
Merrifield went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 2-1 win over the White Sox.
Merrifield's sixth-inning blast provided the Royals' margin of victory. It was his first long ball since July 8, though he knocked five doubles in 12 games between homers. The 33-year-old has maintained a .240/.290/.352 slash line with six homers, 42 RBI, 51 runs scored and 15 stolen bases through 95 contests. Merrifield continues to hit leadoff versus southpaws, but he's lost his spot atop the lineup against right-handed pitchers -- that belongs to MJ Melendez for now. Merrifield's instead hit second the last four times the Royals have faced a righty.

A suspected stolen vehicle was finally brought to a halt with a stinger after a lengthy police chase that lasted for at least ten miles. Officers from West Midlands Police and Warwickshire Police were among five police units involved in the pursuit which started on the M42 in Warwickshire.
The Central Motorway Police Group, West Merica Police and Staffordshire Police were also involved in the chase which moved onto the M6 Toll and the A38.
The vehicle was eventually stopped with the help of stinging equipment in Weeford, near Tamworth in Staffordshire in the early hours today. An arrest was subsequently made.

CMPG tweeted: "Together with @Trafficwmp we have assisted @OPUWarks & @WMerciaPolice with a pursuit of a stolen vehicle along the M42 onto the M6 Toll where we stung it exiting at Weeford. The pursuit continued along the A38 @StaffsPolice area where the vehicle was stopped and driver arrested."
The pursuit came after eagle-eyed cops from Warwickshire Police's Operational Patrol Unit (OPU) had helped to snare a suspect wanted by two police forces for close to two years. The unit tailed a car on the M6 in Warwickshire on July 29.
Checks revealed it contained a man wanted by West Mercia Police and Avon and Somerset Police in connection with a string of offences. The vehicle was pulled over on the M1 in Northamptonshire and the suspect detained.

‘It sucks’: Brandon Smith reveals shock Bellamy punishment after ‘cheating b***ard’ ref spray
Brandon Smith has missed out on more than just game time after receiving a three-week suspension, with the Storm star revealing he was banned from training with his teammates.
Smith had been handed the suspension after he called Adam Gee a “cheating bastard” during the Storm’s shock loss to the Sharks last month.
The 26-year-old was immediately sent for 10 minutes in the bin, and later pled guilty to the charge of contrary conduct.
But the punishment from the NRL wasn’t the end of it for the New Zealand Test rake, who has had to train away from the main squad since.
The unusual banishment has seen Smith train with the fitness coach for the entirety of the ban.

“No, that’s not the norm, that’s quite special,” Smith said on Tuesday.
“I think it was just a sort of just getting punished for not putting the team first.
“It’s been pretty hard and a bit of a grind.
“Waking up early and training by yourself, it gets pretty boring.
“But just being able to hang out with the boys now makes me a lot more grateful for being in a team sport.”
Smith believes that the club were trying to send him a message by banning him from training for those three weeks.
After being isolated from the squad for so long, the Kiwi international reflected on what the time away from the main squad had taught him.
“Just making you feel guilty for your actions by taking away what you love most,” he said.
“And for me with footy that’s playing with my mates and my friends and enjoying it.
“They kind of took that away from me and it sucks.
“I got to hang out with the fitness coach and he’s not that much fun either.”
Smith is available to return for Melbourne in their crucial Friday night clash with the Gold Coast Titans at AAMI Park.
Melbourne beat the Warriors in Auckland last Friday, and ended a four-match winless streak to boast.
The Storm are sitting inside the top four after the win, but are equal on points with both the Broncos and sixth-placed Eels.
“It’s been a weird old year for all of us, we’ve got heaps of injuries.
“It’s no surprise it’s going to be a little bit of a hard one this year.
“We’ve lost Welchy (Christian Welch), Reimis (Smith), George (Jennings) and Paps (Ryan Papenhuyzen) for the season and that’s four of our best 13.
“We’ve got numerous other injuries coming through and they are excuses, but I’m willing to make those excuses now as we’ve had like 16 pretty bad injuries this year and we’ve only got like a 26-man squad.
“We’re still fourth, which is the crazy thing that we’ve been able to keep ourselves in the fight.” | https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/brandon-smith-reveals-the-unusual-punishment-he-received-after-not-putting-the-team-first/news-story/b9d7886e0f6ec27e84481b9a29262b4d | 2022-08-02T04:59:40Z | https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/brandon-smith-reveals-the-unusual-punishment-he-received-after-not-putting-the-team-first/news-story/b9d7886e0f6ec27e84481b9a29262b4d | true | 1 |
Venus Williams' much-anticipated comeback was cut short by Rebecca Marino, who got past the American 4-6, 6-1, 6-4 during the first round of the Citi Open on Monday.
Williams, who has thrilled the Washington, D.C. crowd ever since she arrived at the venue, was cheered on from the stands during the course of her first-round encounter.
At her post-match press conference, the 42-year-old said she wished that she could have pulled off a win for the sake of the spectators and the tournament. She also asserted that D.C. was a great place to play tennis and commended Citi Open chairman Mark Ein for his role in putting together a successful event.
"Yeah, it's so much fun. I wish I could have pulled this match through for the crowd and for the tournament. But doesn't always work out. Super reaction. D.C. is a great place to play tennis, and Mark does an amazing job with the tournament," Venus Williams said.
Williams, who played her first singles match in almost a year, opined that the experience of playing at the venue was great, despite the loss.
"Yeah, it was so much fun to play in D.C. It was nice to have the crowd behind me. Haven't played a singles match in a year, so definitely a great experience," she said.
Williams led 4-1 in the decider but failed to drive home the advantage against the Canadian, who won five games in a row to take the set and match.
"All I can do is just play another tournament and play better" - Venus Williams
Venus Williams has a busy schedule ahead of her. The seven-time Grand Slam champion will next head to Toronto where she will compete in the National Bank Open after receiving a wildcard for the tournament.
She will then take part in the Cincinnati Open to round off her preparations ahead of the US Open, which she has won twice.
Williams admitted during the press conference that her game was rusty but that she was looking forward to playing better in the next tournament.
"Yeah, it's my first match, so I didn't think I played well a lot of the times. Just a little rusty. I really put myself in good positions in the third set, too. Just trying to shake off some rust. That's just to be expected. All I can do is just play another tournament and play better," she said. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/news-venus-williams-loses-first-round-match-citi-open | 2022-08-02T04:59:57Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/tennis/news-venus-williams-loses-first-round-match-citi-open | true | 1 |
Harjinder Kaur on Monday bagged a bronze medal in the women’s 71kg weightlifting in dramatic fashion at the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. Kaur looked destined to finish fourth in the event but with Nigeria’s Joy Eze failing with all three of her clean and jerk attempts, Kaur came away with an unexpected bronze.
The 25-year-old lifted 93kg in snatch and 119kg in clean and jerk for a total of 212kg to win bronze behind England’s Sarah Davies (229kg – 103kg snatch and 126kg c&j) and Canada’s Alexis Ashworth (214kg – 91kg snatch and 123kg c&j).
Davies and Nigeria’s Eze were predicted to face off for gold with bronze likely to be won by one of Harjinder, Ashworth or Australia’s Kiana Elliott.
But things turned out to be an emotional rollercoaster.
In the clean and jerk, Elliott was the first to bow out of medal contention lifting a best of 110kg. That led to an incredible battle for bronze between Ashworth and Harjinder. Or so we thought.
Ashworth began with a 112kg lift and Harjinder responded with a 113kg lift. The Canadian came back with a 116kg lift and the Indian responded with a similar lift to take a two kilo lead.
The Indian then quickly came out for her third attempt and lifted 119kg to extend her lead to five kilos. Ashworth needed a whopping 123kg to leapfrog Harjinder to bronze and the Canadian did just that.
Harjinder looked destined to leave Birmingham without a medal only for Joy Eze to stunningly crumble under pressure. Challenging Davies for gold, Eze astonishingly failed with all three of her attempts to lift 125kg. The attempts were not exactly close either and she broke down in despair at the end as the camera cut to a smiling Harjinder. Davies herself struggled with 126kg but did enough to clinch gold as Ashworth claimed silver and Harjinder, an unexpected bronze.
Harjinder’s bronze is India’s seventh medal in weightlifting at Birmingham. Mirabai Chanu, Jeremy Lalrinnunga and Achinta Sheuli won gold for India. Sanket Sargar and Bindyarani Devi clinched silver while Gururaja Poojary won bronze. On Monday, India also won two Judo medals.
India are top of the weightlifting medal standings with England in second place with four medals. | https://scroll.in/field/1029556/cwg-2022-weightlifting-harjinder-kaur-claims-bronze-in-dramatic-71kg-final-indias-9th-medal?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=public | 2022-08-02T05:03:57Z | https://scroll.in/field/1029556/cwg-2022-weightlifting-harjinder-kaur-claims-bronze-in-dramatic-71kg-final-indias-9th-medal?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=public | true | 2 |

SAN ANTONIO — The Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA) is no longer accepting applications for the Texas Utility Help assistance program, a buoy for low-income residents struggling to pay skyrocketing electricity bills.
"Due to overwhelming interest in the program, we are currently not accepting new applications for energy bill assistance while we process the ones already in the queue," the state program's website reads.
Texas launched the project on July 7. The department stopped processing applications after less than two weeks.
It's not clear if the $50 million fund ran dry or if the state agency was not prepared to handle demand.
Either way, AARP Texas state director Tina Tran said interest in the initiative demonstrates how rising electricity prices have impacted the state's most vulnerable.
"People are really struggling, particularly older Texans who are often on fixed incomes," she said. "They're past their breaking point, as far as what they can afford to do."
This week, CPS Energy leaders told San Antonio city leaders the average June electricity bill rose from $147 to $225 year over year.
Customers are buying more electricity to keep their homes cool. Increased usage accounts for $37 of the $78 average increase, CPS Energy administrators said.
The utility has also passed natural gas price hikes on to its customers. The average resident will pay about $31 more in June to cover skyrocketing fuel prices, as the world weans off Russian supply natural gas supply.
Many power plants rely on the fossil fuel to generate electricity.
Amanda Nunez, a northside resident, said she unplugged all the appliances in her home after she opened her May electricity bill. Still, her June bill cost $25 more.
She said electricity typically costs her about $140 each month. This month, she owes $375.
"Utilities are not a luxury," Tran said. "It is a life and death situation for a lot of these folks."
Some federal money is still available for disbursal. The Help for Texans website includes a searchable database where residents can find other relief programs.
TDHCA also recommends calling 2-1-1 to learn about local assistance options. Churches and faith organizations may also offer help.
Still, Tran said lawmakers need to consider long-term solutions to lower prices as electricity demand booms.
"It really is untenable to expect Texans to deal with this every summer," she said.
She lamented the Texas Utility Help program's pause.
"To see it depleted so quickly... is really, deeply disappointing," she said. "They really should've seen this increased demand come from a mile away." | https://www.cbs19.tv/article/news/local/texas-utility-bill-assistance-program-cps-san-antonio/273-84154e92-e59f-4b02-b969-3e967d239562 | 2022-08-02T05:06:35Z | https://www.cbs19.tv/article/news/local/texas-utility-bill-assistance-program-cps-san-antonio/273-84154e92-e59f-4b02-b969-3e967d239562 | false | 1 |
Kuala Lumpur, Aug 2 (AP) U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Malaysia on Tuesday for the second leg of an Asian tour that has been clouded by an expected stop in Taiwan, which would escalate tensions with Beijing.
The plane carrying Pelosi and her delegation touched down at an air force base amid tight security, national news agency Bernama reported.

While there have been no official announcements, local media in Taiwan reported that Pelosi will arrive in Taipei on Tuesday night, becoming the highest-ranking elected U.S. official to visit in more than 25 years.
The United Daily News, Liberty Times and China Times — Taiwan's three largest national newspapers — cited unidentified sources as saying she would fly to Taipei and spend the night after visiting Malaysia.

China, which regards Taiwan as its territory, has warned of repercussions, saying its military will “never sit idly by" if Pelosi pushes ahead with the visit.
The White House on Monday decried Beijing's rhetoric, saying the U.S. has no interest in deepening tensions with China and “will not take the bait or engage in saber rattling.”
White House National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby underscored that the decision on whether to visit the self-ruled island was ultimately Pelosi's.
He noted that members of Congress have routinely visited Taiwan over the years.
Kirby said administration officials are concerned that Beijing could use the visit as an excuse to take provocative retaliatory steps, including military action such as firing missiles in the Taiwan Strait or around Taiwan, or flying sorties into Taiwan's airspace and carrying out large-scale naval exercises in the strait.
“Put simply, there is no reason for Beijing to turn a potential visit consistent with long-standing U.S. policy into some sort of crisis or use it as a pretext to increase aggressive military activity in or around the Taiwan Strait,” Kirby said.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken also urged China to “act responsibly” in the event that Pelosi proceeds with the visit.
“If the speaker does decide to visit, and China tries to create some kind of a crisis or otherwise escalate tensions, that would be entirely on Beijing,” he told reporters at U.N. headquarters in New York.
“We are looking for them, in the event she decides to visit, to act responsibly and not to engage in any escalation going forward.”
China has been steadily ratcheting up diplomatic and military pressure on Taiwan. Threats of retaliation for a visit by Pelosi have driven concerns of a new crisis in the Taiwan Strait, which separates the two sides, that could roil global markets and supply chains.
Beijing sees official American contact with Taiwan as encouragement to make the island's decades-old de facto independence permanent, a step U.S. leaders say they don't support. 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.
Pelosi kicked off her Asian tour in Singapore on Monday but her purported visit to Taiwan has raised concerns in the region.
Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong “highlighted the importance of stable U.S.-China relations for regional peace and security” during talks with Pelosi, the city-state's foreign ministry said.
This was echoed by Japan's Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi in Tokyo, who said stable ties between the two rival powers “are extremely important for the international community as well.”
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 the Taiwan Relations Act, a federal law, to see that Taiwan has the means to defend itself.
Washington's “One China policy” says it takes no position on the status of the two sides but wants their dispute resolved peacefully.
Beijing promotes an alternative “One China principle” that says they are one country and the Communist Party is its leader.
Pelosi is expected to call on lower house Speaker Azhar Azizan Harun in Parliament before adjourning for a luncheon meet with Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Bernama said.
On Thursday, she is to meet with South Korean National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin Pyo in Seoul for talks on security in the Indo-Pacific region, economic cooperation and the climate crisis, according to Kim's office.
Pelosi is also due to visit Japan, but it is unclear when she heading there. (AP)

First Ukraine grain ship leaves Odessa port
The first ships loaded with grain left Ukraine's Odessa port on Monday (1 August) at 0530 GMT, according to Turkey's defence ministry.
The Sierra Leone-flagged ship, which is carrying 26,000 tonnes of corn, is heading to Lebanon, according to Ankara.

"Deployment of other ships are planned within the scope of the determined corridor and method" agreed on 22 July by Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and the UN, it said.
The export agreement aims to facilitate the safe transport of grain and other agricultural products from Ukrainian ports. Under the deal, a joint coordination centre, which launched operations last week in Istanbul, would monitor commercial vessels exporting Ukraine's grain to ensure compliance.
Ukrainian officials said there were 17 ships stuck in Ukraine's Black Sea ports, containing almost 600,000 tonnes of cargo.
Russia and Ukraine export nearly a third of global wheat and barley supplies.
Over 12 percent of the world's wheat, 15 percent of corn and 50 percent of sunflower oil come from Ukraine, most of which are normally shipped by sea.
But the country's export-capacity has significantly decreased since the war began in late February due to the long blockade of the Black Sea.
Ukraine warned on Sunday (31 July) that the country's harvest itself could be cut in half this year due to the war.
"Ukrainian harvest this year is under the threat to be twice less," Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky said on Twitter.
He said that Ukraine's "main goal" was to prevent a global food crisis that is currently unfolding due to export disruptions in the Black Sea. "Still grains find a way to be delivered alternatively," he added.
Ukraine is expected to harvest up to 60 million tonnes of grain, according to UN estimates.
Global food prices have been increasing since the pandemic.
But export disruptions in Ukraine and Russia have pushed prices even higher, raising fears over a looming hunger catastrophe in some African countries, Southern Asia, and the Middle East.
The World Bank warned this month that the conflict in Ukraine will push an additional 95 million people into extreme poverty, and 50 million into severe hunger. | https://euobserver.com/ukraine/155673 | 2022-08-02T05:13:10Z | https://euobserver.com/ukraine/155673 | false | 2 |
New Delhi: Twitter, which is fighting a legal battle with the Indian government over content blocking orders, banned more than 43,140 accounts of Indian users in the month of June over violation of its guidelines, the microblogging platform said in its monthly compliance report on Tuesday. Twitter vs Elon Musk: Tesla CEO Files Countersuit in Legal Battle Against the Microblogging Platform.
Twitter said it purged 40,982 accounts for child sexual exploitation, non-consensual nudity and similar content and banned 2,158 accounts for promoting terrorism. The microblogging platform received 724 grievances in the country through its local grievance mechanism between May 26-June 25, and took action on 122 complaints.
In May, Twitter had banned more than 46,000 accounts of Indian users. It had received 1,698 complaints via its local grievance mechanism in that month. Pursuant to Article 4(d) of India's Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, Twitter is required to publish a monthly report regarding its handling of complaints from users in the country, including action taken on them, as well as the number of URLs that Twitter has taken action as a result of proactive monitoring efforts.
"While we welcome everyone to express themselves on our platform, we do not tolerate behaviour that harasses, threatens, dehumanises, or uses fear to silence the voices of others," Twitter said in the report.
Under the new IT Rules 2021, big digital and social media platforms, with more than 5 million users, have to publish monthly compliance reports. Last month, Twitter moved the Karnataka High Court against the Indian government's order to take down some content on its platform, on the grounds that the content blocking orders from the IT Ministry do not pass "the test of the grounds provided under Section 69A of the IT Act".
Twitter alleged in its writ petition that multiple accounts and content included in the blocking orders are either "overbroad and arbitrary", fail to provide notice to the "originators" of the content, and are "disproportionate" in several cases. In a June letter, the IT Ministry had warned Twitter of strict action if it does not comply with some content takedown orders.

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is set to name top officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to serve as the White House coordinators to combat the growing monkeypox outbreak.
The White House said Biden will announce Tuesday that he has tapped Robert Fenton, who helped lead FEMA's mass vaccination effort for COVID-19 as the agency's acting administrator when Biden first took office, as the White House coordinator. Dr. Demetre Daskalakis of the CDC will be named his deputy. Daskalakis, the director of the agency's HIV prevention division and a national expert on issues affecting the LGBTQ community, previously helped lead New York City's COVID-19 response.
The White House said the pair would coordinate “strategy and operations to combat the current monkeypox outbreak, including equitably increasing the availability of tests, vaccinations and treatments.”
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert and Biden's top science adviser, praised their appointments Monday night and said he hoped they would tighten the coordination between the various federal agencies involved in the monkeypox response.
“I personally think we’re dealing with a really serious issue here," Fauci said. "There are a lot of unknowns. There are a lot of knowns about monkeypox, but there’s still a lot of unknowns. So we really got to implement the interventions we have, get a much better feeling for the natural history and the scope and absolutely reach out into the community, and that’s the reason why I think the combination of Bob and Demetre is really a good combination.”
The monkeypox virus spreads through prolonged and close skin-to-skin contact, including hugging, cuddling and kissing, as well as sharing bedding, towels and clothing. People getting sick so far have been primarily men who have sex with men. But health officials emphasize that the virus can infect anyone.
The U.S. saw its first case of the monkeypox virus confirmed on May 18 and now has over 3,000 confirmed infections.
The announcement of the coordinator and deputy coordinator mirrors the Biden administration’s response to COVID-19, when the president centralized virus response operations out of the West Wing, first under Jeff Zients and now with Dr. Ashish Jha.
Scientists say that, unlike campaigns to stop COVID-19, mass vaccinations against monkeypox won’t be necessary. They think targeted use of the available doses, along with other measures, could shut down the expanding epidemics that were recently designated by the World Health Organization as a global health emergency.
Still, the Biden administration has faced criticism over the pace of vaccine availability for monkeypox. The White House said it has made more than 1.1 million doses of vaccine available and has helped to boost domestic diagnostic capacity to 80,000 tests per week.
California on Monday became the second state in three days to declare a public health emergency over monkeypox, following action this weekend by New York, but the Biden administration did not appear to be moving in that direction. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the decision would be up to Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra.
“We look forward to partnering with Bob Fenton and Demetre Dadkalakis as we work to end the monkeypox outbreak in America,” Becerra in a statement. “Bob’s experience in federal and regional response coordination, and Demetre’s vast knowledge of our public health systems’ strengths and limits will be instrumental as we work to stay ahead of the virus and advance a whole-of-government response.” | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/biden-names-fema-cdc-officials-to-head-monkeypox-outbreak-response/507-fc08da06-ac1c-49fe-a132-d3b87cf76d64 | 2022-08-02T05:16:15Z | https://www.krem.com/article/news/nation-world/biden-names-fema-cdc-officials-to-head-monkeypox-outbreak-response/507-fc08da06-ac1c-49fe-a132-d3b87cf76d64 | true | 62 |

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2683816773024/weather-has-delayed-hanes-and-centre-street-traffic-lights-from-going-live-today | 2022-08-02T05:16:29Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2683816773024/weather-has-delayed-hanes-and-centre-street-traffic-lights-from-going-live-today | false | 12721 |

'True Remainer colours!' Sunak slams Truss over foreign worker scheme in Brexit dig
RISHI SUNAK has slammed leadership rival Liz Truss over her foreign worker scheme in a Brexit dig.
Tory leadership: Will Walden warns about Liz Truss' strategy
The ex-Chancellor has accused Liz Truss of showing off her “true Remainer colours” as the two candidates argue about the best way to help British farmers. Truss has promised to allow thousands of workers into Britain to take up seasonal jobs as farmers face workers shortage.
Ms Truss spent Monday campaigning in Devon in an attempt to win over Conservative farmers.
She promised farmers she would create the “agricultural industry of the future”.
The Foreign Secretary vowed to help farmers who are struggling with worker shortages to expand the seasonal workers' visa scheme.
Lizz Truss said: “I understand the challenges faced by farmers and they can trust me to deliver the changes they need."
Mr Sunak’s campaign has harshly criticised the proposal.
A spokesperson for Rishi Sunak said: “Liz Truss’s announcement does nothing for farmers and food.
“She blames Brexit and fails to see the opportunities from it to help farmers and food production, has no plan to tackle inflation, which has hit input costs hard, and neglects to mention trade deals because of her record in this area.
The true Remainer colours are starting to show.”
Ms Truss was against Britain leaving Europe in the 2016 Brexit referendum but has since changed her position.
However, in an interview with The Telegraph in May, she admitted: “If I could go back to 2016, I would vote to leave."
READ MORE: SNP MP blasts Truss after she slams Sturgeon in race to replace Boris
The current seasonal worker visa scheme is due to expire in 2024 and currently allows foreign workers to come to Britain and work agricultural jobs for six months.
The scheme allows around 40,000 workers to travel to Britain and work jobs such as fruit picking and farm handling.
Truss argues that farmers are concerned about worker shortages for the upcoming food harvests and that’s why she supports extending the visa.
She said: “The pandemic and cost of living crisis have shown it is more vital than ever for us to ensure we have a high-quality and affordable supply of British food."
Sunak has rejected the proposal and claimed he would “keep labour requirements in the sector under review, and move ahead with automation in the sector to ease pressures on labour supply”.

Winning is a powerful tonic. The fissures within many a sporting team have been healed by victory; frustration, fatigue and past failures all soothed by the balm of success. When Kyle Chalmers stormed to the 100m freestyle gold medal at the Commonwealth Games on Monday night, his triumph offered relief and vindication. As he brought a finger to his lips in a pre-meditated gesture, it was clear that Chalmers wanted to silence his critics.
If only it was so simple. Chalmers’ gold medal – his first individual success in the frenetic 100m freestyle since becoming Olympic champion as an unheralded teenager in 2016 – offers a potent riposte after the media storm of recent days. Taking to Instagram after the win, he posted: “A million things I could say, but this photo sums them all up and says it perfectly.” But the fall-out from this saga may only just be beginning.
Clouds began to form in May, when Chalmers beat Cody Simpson – the swimmer turned pop star turned swimmer again, who now dates Emma McKeon after her split from Chalmers last year – in the 100m butterfly at the national championships, a selection event for the world championships and Commonwealth Games. Chalmers had considered missing the world titles, which would have allowed Simpson to take his spot, but ultimately elected to contest both international meets.
Chalmers qualified faster, so this was very much his prerogative. But some sections of the media, led by News Corp titles, manufactured a “love triangle” and implied that Chalmers was the villain. Chalmers was set to “destroy” Simpson’s dreams; his decision was “brutal”. The coverage had a negative effect on Chalmers, who went to ground and issued a statement decrying the “massive toll” the furore was having on him.
In Birmingham, it went from bad to worse. The degree of celebration between Chalmers and McKeon after the pair won gold together in a mixed relay was dissected, and there was a suggestion the freestyle specialist had snubbed his ex. When Chalmers went on the attack, criticising the media for focusing on his personal life rather than his swimming, sections of the press doubled down.
Viewed from a distance, the saga has been absurd. There is no public interest in invasive coverage of the private lives of these swimmers.
And it is having all too real consequences. Chalmers has spoken openly about the impact of the drama on his mental health, saying his wellbeing was at “rock bottom”. At one point he decried the ongoing controversy as the “hardest 12 hours in my sporting career”. He has spoken of his mother crying on FaceTime from the other side of the world; his father broke down on radio, telling Mix 102.3 “it’s a form of bullying and harassment, these people get away with it, they destroy people’s lives”.
At its best, sports media can relay the joy of elite competition to the community and shine a light on corruption and abuse within powerful institutions. Sports journalists should never be afraid to ask tough questions. If this saga involved Chalmers disliking questions about poor performances, say, or misconduct within the camp (something hardly foreign to Swimming Australia), there would be no sympathy. Those are questions journalists are entitled to ask – even if the recipient may not like hearing them. But this is not that.
There has been an element of goading in the way Chalmers has been interrogated about his personal life, regardless of the impact this is having on his mental health. It may be an enticing narrative to paint the macho, tattooed swimmer as the bad guy – and it no doubt gets plenty of online traffic – but it is actively undermining at least one athlete’s wellbeing.
The continued pile-on even after Chalmers went public with his mental health concerns is perhaps the most alarming aspect of all this. It suggests a troubling regression from the positive response to athletes opening up about their challenges in recent years (such as gymnast Simone Biles in Tokyo). The media must do better; with great power comes great responsibility.
No-one knows how this ends. Chalmers has threatened to quit the sport entirely – which would be a major loss for swimming; he remains one of Australia’s best. In the coming days, once the swimming finishes and attention switches to other events in Birmingham, the media will move on. But there is the possibility of some real wreckage being left behind. | https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/aug/02/kyle-chalmers-silences-critics-but-focus-on-swimmers-personal-life-has-been-absurd | 2022-08-02T05:25:37Z | https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/aug/02/kyle-chalmers-silences-critics-but-focus-on-swimmers-personal-life-has-been-absurd | false | 1 |
Governor Cooper Encourages All North Carolinians to be Prepared
NORTH CAROLINA, August 1 - August is Preparedness Month in North Carolina and Governor Roy Cooper is encouraging individuals, families, schools and businesses to review their emergency plans and update their emergency supply kits.
“North Carolinians need to be prepared year round,” Governor Cooper said. “Take the time now to prepare so your family will fare better during a disaster and recover more quickly after it’s over.”
State officials encourage all North Carolinians to have a family emergency plan and take into consideration the health of your family when planning where to go in case of an evacuation. Your evacuation plan should include staying with family, friends, or at a hotel, which are better options than a busy shelter.
A family emergency supply kit should include three to seven days of supplies including food, water, medications, flashlight with batteries and items such as face masks, hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes, as well as any supplies needed to support infants and family pets. You should always take your pets with you when evacuating.
“Emergencies can be scary, but being prepared with a plan and an emergency kit will allow you to better protect your family and pets, while reducing your anxiety about having to shelter in place or evacuate,” said North Carolina Public Safety Secretary Eddie M. Buffaloe Jr.
“You improve your chances staying safe when you have an emergency kit and everyone in your family knows where to go and what to do during a crisis,” said State Emergency Management Director Will Ray. “You can also help your community by helping your neighbors prepare.”
North Carolina is an active state for many types of disasters, including hurricanes, tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. In 2021 alone, the state experienced 21 tornado touchdowns, 109 flood incidents and 344 severe thunderstorms with damaging wind and 101 hail events.
Severe storms are not the only natural disasters that affect that state. Wildfires, earthquakes and man-made disasters are also a possibility.
For more information to help ensure your family is disaster ready, visit ReadyNC.gov. Also, check to see if your local community offers an emergency alert service for its residents.
North Carolina’s Know Your Zone program establishes pre-determined evacuation zones in twenty coastal counties simplify and improve evacuation execution in the event of a hurricane or tropical storm.
Coastal residents should know what zone they live in and know to look and listen for that zone when evacuations are ordered. Visit KnowYourZone.nc.gov for more information.
Follow @NCEmergency on Twitter and Facebook during August for daily tips you can use to become better prepared for emergencies and disasters.

GIBSON CITY — On Saturday (July 30, 2022), Robert (Bob) Dickey passed into the presence of his Lord and Savior, as his purpose on Earth was finished.
He left behind his wife of 50 years, Gloria, who was his very first date at the age of 16. He was not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for he knew it was the power of God unto salvation.
Bob was preceded in death by both parents, Robert E. and Jenny Lu Dickey.
Besides Gloria, he is survived by two sons, Matthew (Sarah) Dickey and Luke (Carrie) Dickey; five grandchildren, Carter, Cooper, Naomi, Faith and Luscinda Dickey; two brothers, Thomas (Bonnie) Dickey and Daniel (Paula) Dickey; a sister, Rebecca (Greg) Reiners; a brother-in-law, Dave (Sue) Warrington; four nieces; and six nephews.
He learned as a young man that the sooner you found out God’s purpose for your life, the better your life would be. He saw problems as opportunities to be solved. He understood happiness did not consist of fame, fortune or possessions, but in the building of relationships. When he learned that his cancer was terminal, he did not see it as a battle but a journey of the Lord’s leading.
Bob was passionate in everything he did, especially about his faith, family and country. He loved to study and teach from the Bible and believed that the Lord’s return was imminent. He saw applications in every area of life addressed in God’s word. He loved working with middle-school youth on Wednesday nights. He was a student of history and would share his thoughts with anyone who would listen. Many said he was a skilled salesman. He preferred to be known as a skilled communicator. By asking many questions, his greatest joy was sharing the Gospel with those around him. God provided him many opportunities by being a part of The Gideons International and through his cancer journey.
Bob retired from Eastern Illini Electric Cooperative, where many lasting relationships were made. He had the privilege of serving on several boards, foundations and committees at local, statewide and national levels. He spoke in front of U.S. senators in Washington, D.C., and shared his knowledge at several large conferences around the country.
He and Gloria were able to travel both at home and abroad. When they were not traveling, they spent time together gardening, attending their grandkids' activities and watching Hallmark movies.
Bob would look for ways to sneak in a round of golf with his buddies. He filled in the rest of his free time with reading, photography, listening to music and playing cards with friends.
Bob is now more alive than ever and waiting for his family to be with him in heaven. Memorials may be made to The Gideons International, P.O. Box 151, Paxton, IL 60957, or Living Alternatives, 205 E. Wilber Ave., Champaign, IL 61822.
A private family service will be held Wednesday, Aug. 3. A celebration of life will be at 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 5, at Gibson City Bible Church, 309 N. Illinois 47, Gibson City, with an open house for family to receive visitors from 4 to 6 p.m.

Sheriff’s Office Arrests Goleta Man, 79, for Suspected Lewd Acts Involving Children
Detectives Reaching Out to Santa Barbara Community to Identify Any Potential Survivors
Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s detectives have arrested a Goleta man for lewd acts with a child and are asking the community to identify any additional survivors.
Authorities began their investigation on May 3, 2022, after a survivor reported an incident that occurred in 2019. The survivor said the incident took place at the suspect’s business on the 200 block of Pine Avenue, according to Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Raquel Zick. Following their investigation, detectives arrested 79-year-old Samuel Camargo Reyes, also known as Samuel Reyes Camargo, on Friday, July 29, on a warrant for lewd acts with a child under the age of 14. Reyes is being held at the Southern Branch Jail, with bail set at $500,000.
According to Zick, detectives strongly believe there are additional survivors who have not yet been identified. The investigators suspect Reyes had access to other children at his business, an unmarked office space located at the corner of Pine Avenue and Gaviota Street where he sold nutritional supplements since 2011.

China's Taiwan invasion given potential date as fears of Asia war grow
CHINA could invade Taiwan as early as 2026, an expert warned while adding that World War 3 remains an unlikely prospect.
China showcases their Eastern Theatre Command troops
Taiwan is once again at the centre of a diplomatic storm between the US and China. Beijing is furious after Speaker of the House of Representatives in Washington, Nancy Pelosi, is reportedly planning on visiting Taiwan despite China warning her against such a move. China claims Taiwan as one of its own provinces, and the Chinese government has previously said it will reunify the island with China by any means necessary. But Taiwan wants to hold on to its ability to self-govern.
For years, the Chinese government has threatened Taiwan with violence should it pursue independence.
After Russia invaded Ukraine earlier this year, world leaders are increasingly concerned Beijing could stage its own attack on Taiwan and start war in Asia.
Samson Ellis of Bloomberg's Taipei (the Taiwanese capital) Bureau spoke to The Globalist podcast about how the Taiwan is dealing with Chinese aggression.
He explained that China will not be able to invade the country for at least a few more years if that is in Beijing's plans.
Mr Ellis said: "It's important to note that war is not imminent, it remains a fact that both Taiwanese and US military officers see 2026 or 2027 as the earliest the People's Liberation Army (Chinese military) could launch an attempt to invade Taiwan.
"Just because it's feasible, does not mean they will do it immediately. The time frame of any possible contingency in this part of the world remains multiple years, maybe even a decade.
"It is also important to remember that discussion of war is the absolute worst case scenario. Not even the Chinese leadership, despite their regular threats, wants to see this.
"The discussion of Taiwan often gets caught up in these most extreme outcomes, but the likelihood of World War 3 happening is still relatively small and life in Taipei reflects that."
While many feel the threat of military conflict is not an immediate one, China's rhetoric will still cause concern.
Reacting to the news that Ms Pelosi may be visiting the country, China said on Monday it would “not sit idly by" if the US politician goes ahead with the trip.
China’s spokesperson, Zhao Lijian, also said that Ms Pelosi travelling to the country would “lead to egregious political impact”.
US President Joe Biden has a tough decision to make, one expert has said.
READ MORE: China Army Day: Who would win in a war with Russia?
George Yin of the National Taiwan University in Taipei told the Guardian: “On the one hand, the US needs to signal its support for Taiwan, particularly since China often portrays the US as a paper tiger who does not have the resolve to come to Taiwan’s aid.
“On the other hand, the US needs to reassure China that it still abides by the one China principle. Pelosi’s expected visit illustrates how difficult it is to strike a good strategic balance.”
Last week, Mr Biden spoke with Chinese president Xi Jinping, and this only led to more tension.
Xi warned the US: “Those who play with fire will be perished by it. It is hoped that the US will be clear-eyed about this."

Taiwan isn't the only geopolitical disagreement which has led to tension between Beijing and Washington.
The US has opposed China's military expansion in the South China Sea, where Beijing has claimed ownership of 90 percent of the waters despite anger from other Asian countries like Vietnam and the Philippines.
China's growing relationship with Russia has also caused concern among Western leaders. | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1649108/china-news-taiwan-invasion-date-us-president-joe-biden-nancy-pelosi-spt | 2022-08-02T05:34:19Z | https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1649108/china-news-taiwan-invasion-date-us-president-joe-biden-nancy-pelosi-spt | true | 1 |
Airline launches campaign with Stand Up To Cancer® (SU2C) and SU2C Ambassador Mandy Moore
- Mandy Moore joins American and SU2C to launch this year's fundraising campaign with video alongside airline team members.
- Customers earn American Airlines AAdvantage® miles for donations to SU2C during two-month campaign.
FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- American Airlines, in collaboration with Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) and Emmy, Grammy and Golden Globe-nominated actress, singer and songwriter Mandy Moore, is launching its annual campaign to raise funds for innovative and life-saving cancer research.
Now through Sept. 30, customers will receive 25 bonus American Airlines AAdvantage® miles for every dollar they donate of $25 or more to Stand Up To Cancer.
Additionally, anyone who uses their American Airlines AAdvantage Mastercard® credit card to contribute between $25 and $10,000, will receive 50 bonus AAdvantage miles per dollar until we reach $1 million in donations.
"The outpouring of support from our generous team members and customers has been remarkable in our six-year partnership with Stand Up To Cancer," said American Airlines Chief Communications Officer Ron DeFeo. "That's a testament to how passionate we are about Stand Up's mission to save lives by funding research that has led to groundbreaking scientific breakthroughs in the fight against cancer. It's a disease that has impacted so many of us and our loved ones."
Since first joining forces in 2016, American has raised more than $11 million to benefit SU2C through fundraising efforts. In 2019, American debuted a campaign that offered those who donate the chance to honor a loved one by including their name on an Airbus A321 aircraft wrapped in a special SU2C livery.
"This year alone, nearly 2 million people in the U.S. will be diagnosed with cancer," said Rusty Robertson, Stand Up To Cancer Co-Founder. "Stand Up To Cancer is committed to funding innovative cancer research and dealing with health equity in cancer clinical trials to ensure treatments are accessible and beneficial to all patients. We are immensely grateful to American Airlines and their customers for their longstanding support and to Mandy Moore for her participation in this campaign. Together, we can and will end this terrible disease."
SU2C brings together the best and the brightest in the cancer community to help new therapies move from the laboratory to the patient quickly. By galvanizing the entertainment community, SU2C creates awareness and educates the public on cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment and raises funds to support these efforts.
"I have supported Stand Up To Cancer since its inception and it has been truly amazing to see scientists, patients, actors, musicians and athletes all come together for one common cause — the fight against cancer," said Mandy Moore. "To do this in partnership with them and American Airlines, a company so close to my heart, is truly a full circle moment. For many, cancer is a part of life's journey, and through this campaign, I hope we can raise awareness for Stand Up To Cancer's groundbreaking cancer research programs, while inspiring cancer survivors, patients and those caring for a loved one facing the disease."

Dentist found guilty in wife’s death on African safari
DENVER (AP) - A wealthy dentist accused of fatally shooting his wife in the heart with a shotgun at the end of an African safari was found guilty of murder and mail fraud on Monday.
A jury of six men and six women reached the verdict for Lawrence “Larry” Rudolph following a three week trial and a day and a half of deliberations.
Rudolph, 67, was charged with foreign murder in the 2016 death of Bianca Rudolph in Zambia as well as mail fraud for cashing in $4.8 million in life insurance claims in what prosecutors describe as a premeditated crime. Some of the money was paid out of Colorado so he was tried in Denver federal court.
He faces a maximum term of life in prison or the death penalty when he is sentenced in February.
Rudolph maintained his innocence and the two adult children he had with his wife sat in court to support him during the trial. One of Rudolph’s defense attorneys, David Markus, said they would appeal his conviction.
“We believe in Larry. We believe in his family,” he said outside court.
The defense suggested Rudolph’s wife of 34 years, a nervous traveler, shot herself while trying to pack a shotgun in a hurry as they prepared to return from Zambia to the United States in 2016.
But prosecutors countered that evidence showed that was impossible because the wound to her heart came from a shot fired from 2 to 3.5 feet (60 centimeters to 1 meter) away.
The couple’s longtime hunting guide, Mark Swanepoel, told investigators that Rudolph had unloaded the shotgun the day before the fatal shooting, but Rudolph testified that he could not remember if he had or not.
When he returned home to Phoenix days later, Rudolph said he put the shotgun in his garage not wanting to look at it. Then sometime in 2018, as he was preparing to sell his house and before he found out the FBI was investigating his wife’s death, he said he took the gun apart, put it into two cardboard boxes and paid a man cash to haul it away with along with other trash.
Prosecutors also accused Rudolph’s girlfriend and the manager of his Pittsburgh-area dental franchise, Lori Milliron, of lying to a federal grand jury and being an accessory.
She was found guilty by the same jury Monday of being an accessory after the fact to murder, obstruction of a grand jury and two counts of perjury before a grand jury. She was found not guilty on three other counts of perjury.
Rudolph waved to Milliron as he was led out of court and back to jail after not having any interaction with her in the courtroom in previous days. Milliron will remain free with an ankle monitor until she is sentenced.
Prosecutors alleged that Rudolph decided to kill his wife to regain control over his life after Bianca Rudolph asked for more say in the couple’s finances and demanded that Milliron be fired. Rudolph said his wife agreed to have an open marriage and the defense argued there was no financial incentive for Rudolph, who was worth about $15 million at the time, to kill his wife.
Investigators in Zambia and for the insurers concluded her death was an accident. Prosecutors noted that Rudolph hung up on an insurance investigator who tried to speak with him and declined to participate in a voluntary interview with an FBI agent.
Colorado’s U.S. Attorney Cole Finegan thanked the FBI for traveling around the world to collect evidence and interview witnesses in the case and said he hoped the verdict brings some peace to Bianca Rudolph’s family.
“Bianca Rudolph deserved justice,” he said.
____
This story has been corrected to say that Lori Milliron was acquitted of three perjury counts, not two.

This article has been updated with comments from the industry.
Washington, D.C.—The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued Guidance for Industry: Policy Regarding N-acetyl-L-cysteine. The guidance advises dietary supplement manufacturers, distributors, and other stakeholders of FDA’s intent to exercise enforcement discretion with respect to the sale and distribution of certain products that contain N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) and are labeled as dietary supplements. The enforcement discretion policy applies to products that would be lawfully marketed dietary supplements if NAC were not excluded from the definition of “dietary supplement” and that are not otherwise in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act). (Background: FDA Issuing Enforcement Discretion Guidance on NAC)
The move comes after FDA announced on March 31, 2022 that it had denied the request in citizen petitions from the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) and Natural Products Association (NPA) that asked the agency to determine that products containing NAC are not excluded from the definition of a dietary supplement. Prior to that, NPA had filed a lawsuit against FDA requesting that the agency “cease its unlawful retroactive application of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act” against NAC.
NPA Reacts to FDA’s Final Guidance on “Enforcement Discretion” of NAC
“This is a big win but it is bittersweet for sure,” said Daniel Fabricant, Ph.D., President and CEO of NPA. “Although it was NPA’s leadership that secured this victory for American consumers, the FDA could have and should have reached this decision years ago. The dietary supplement industry is under attack from all levels of government, from shortsighted organizations pushing for unnecessary and costly new federal red tape to state lawmakers who are determined to block access to supplements and raise costs for consumers and retailers. But NPA’s members had the foresight and commitment to turn the tide.
“Citizens petitions and lawsuits are extreme measures and should be the rare exception, not the rule,” Dr. Fabricant continued. “The industry experienced significant economic harm as a direct result of the Agency’s years-long and inexplicable delays on NAC, but thankfully our actions held FDA accountable and forced their hand on issuing final guidance. We hope this is a teachable moment for the agency and that basic regulatory obligations in the future are handled in the timely and professional manner befitting of the world’s gold standard.”
CRN Disagrees with FDA’s Interpretation of the Drug Preclusion Clause
Megan Olsen, CRN’s Senior Vice President and general counsel, also issued a statement in response to the announcement. “CRN appreciates FDA providing this final enforcement discretion, but CRN continues to disagree with FDA’s interpretation of the drug preclusion clause that led to the need for this policy in the first place,” Olsen said. “Drug preclusion should not apply to NAC.
“FDA has suggested that it cannot start the rulemaking process under the exclusion to the drug preclusion clause because it is still reviewing the safety of NAC,” Olsen continued. “FDA has had access to safety information provided by stakeholders at the request of FDA for more than six months, and this ingredient has been sold as a dietary supplement for decades without any safety issues being raised. FDA has had ample time to raise any safety concerns; continuing to stall on the rulemaking at this point just harms businesses and consumers.”
Regarding rulemaking, Olsen pointed out that FDA spokespersons have indicated that this could take three to five years. And that, she said, is “all the more reason why FDA should begin the rulemaking process immediately or provide its reasoning for needing additional safety or other data. We strongly encourage FDA to explore ways in which rulemaking can be expedited, such as using interim rulemaking authority and providing adequate agency resources to the notice and comment rulemaking process so a final rule can be implemented as quickly as the law allows, without the need for additional extensions or delays by the agency during the rulemaking process.” | https://wholefoodsmagazine.com/supplements/news-supplements/fda-issues-final-guidance-on-enforcement-discretion-of-nac/ | 2022-08-02T06:13:39Z | https://wholefoodsmagazine.com/supplements/news-supplements/fda-issues-final-guidance-on-enforcement-discretion-of-nac/ | false | 1 |
The IEA estimates that the energy consumption of data centres comprises around 1% of final electricity demand globally. This figure is understood to rise as high as 4% in the UK and Ireland to reach 15%. There is a clear consensus and impetus within the industry to move to carbon free technology. For example, Google has stated its objective to operate on 24/7 100% carbon-free energy by 2030.
Focus is given, understandably, to how energy demands for key applications such as cooling can be reduced, increasing supply from renewable sources such as solar or wind power. But if data centre operators are to truly run on 100% carbon-free energy, then all methods of energy consumption must be considered.
This should include how standby power is generated, with a clear roadmap established to ensure a transition to low and carbon-free energy without compromising the critical role this plays in keeping assets running during energy outages or times of unpredictable supply. Finning has been working closely with a number of major industry players to establish the best solution to achieve this.
Balancing reliability with sustainability
Current reliance on diesel generators for standby power is well established, primarily because of their practical benefits. They are readily available, reliable as a mature technology and able to quickly ramp-up to seamlessly cover issues with main power supplies.
Given that data centres must mitigate any risks that may be posed to maintaining mission critical services for the likes of hospitals and other public services, the advantages in terms of reliability that existing technology offers must be carefully considered as we transition away from fossil fuels.
Indeed, in the understandably risk-averse data centre sector we are likely to see a phased transition to a balance between maintaining the benefits of existing technology, with the importance of using carbon-free energy.
HVO providing a smart first step
A first step in this transition is the growing use of Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO). Produced from certified waste fats and oils, HVO is manufactured using a synthesised process with hydrogen to offer a more sustainable alternative to fossil fuels. Although not entirely carbon-free, HVO can eliminate up to 90% of the carbon emissions caused when compared with the production and use of conventional diesel.
Another key advantage is that it can be used as a drop-in replacement for diesel in many engines, as well as used with existing diesel or biodiesel stocks. For example, provided the fuel meets standard requirements, Caterpillar generators built after the year 2000 are able to run on HVO.
Given the ease with which they can be integrated into existing assets, we have seen growing interest from data centre operators in the use of HVO in tandem with diesel to lower the carbon footprint of their standby generators.
Whilst use of HVO with conventional diesel has been the most common approach, there have been high profile cases where a move to 100% HVO has been taken – allowing even greater reductions in carbon emission. Last year, Microsoft announced that all Cat generator sets at its new data centres being constructed in Sweden would run on HVO, providing the final element to obtaining all of its energy needs from renewable sources.
Longer term benefits of hydrogen
Whilst HVO is a convenient and highly effective drop-in replacement for existing diesel equipment, it is not entirely carbon-free. Furthermore, the sheer scale of demand for fuel means that it is unlikely to become a permanent solution, due to its production being limited by how much vegetable oil and fat is available globally.
Hydrogen has been touted as a more likely long-term solution, with advances in blue (the splitting of natural gas into hydrogen and CO2, with the resulting carbon captured) and green (splitting water by electrolysis into hydrogen and oxygen) production set to help create the volumes needed to replace fossil fuels on a global scale.
Whilst those production volumes are yet to come, plans are in action, and it is an area that data centre operators should explore when looking at the next generation of sustainable equipment. As with HVO, a blended approach may be the likeliest next step with gas gensets configured to allow for a blended fuel containing up to 25% hydrogen.
Manufacturers such as Caterpillar are rolling out gas generators configured out-of-the-factory to enable operation on natural gas blended with hydrogen. Adaptation of existing gensets can be done with the use of retrofit kits for some equipment, making it an appealing quick win as hydrogen availability increases.
Rising industry interest and development of hydrogen supply infrastructure means that 100% hydrogen gensets are in advanced stages of development and we will likely see trials of this equipment in the near future.
Where next for data centres?
For those that haven’t already adopted it, HVO is the next natural step to take as trials on 100% hydrogen gensets move forwards. Adding Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) can also make a notable difference in minimising emissions.
We are also seeing a growing number of new sites considering the use of a microgrid system which allows a combination of power generation sources (photovoltaic solar modules, energy storage, gas and diesel). Smart microgrids mean efficient power that can be produced where and when it’s needed without transmission lines and transformer losses. These high performance, scalable systems are designed and built using standardised building blocks that are easy and quick to install even in challenging environments.
With the potential risk if transition of standby power is not delivered smoothly, it’s also critical to ensure you have the right partner to identify the best solution for your specific requirements. Working with a specialist such as Finning means you can not only access this invaluable expertise and advice but also gain insights into the latest testing and performance information as newer technology such as hydrogen gensets are brought to market – helping you to get maximum uptime with minimum carbon emissions. | https://dcnnmagazine.com/features-list-2022/energy-management/data-centre-standby-power/ | 2022-08-02T06:17:29Z | https://dcnnmagazine.com/features-list-2022/energy-management/data-centre-standby-power/ | true | 1 |
Alan Moore is, without doubt, a British national treasure, widely heralded as simply one of the best comic book writers of all time. Many of his works have been adapted for the big screen, including Watchmen, V for Vendetta and Batman: The Killing Joke – which served as an original story for the famous villain, the Joker.
Moore was born in Northampton in 1953, the child of a working-class family who had lived in the town for many generations. He was expelled from school for being what he phrases as “one of the world’s most inept LSD dealers”, though he disliked school for its seeming indoctrination of conformity in young children.
After working low-end jobs whilst living in his parents’ house and then in a small flat with his wife, Moore started working on his own comic books. He had read “omnivorously” as a child, including American imports of The Flash and The Fantastic Four comic strips.
Moore went on to write for several underground and independent publishers throughout the 1970s before having scripts accepted for 2000AD and some other comics published by Marvel UK. Moore would soon attract the attention of big-time American publishers, including DC Comics, where he would revive many of the previously neglected heroes of old, including John Constantine from Hellblazer.
Moore’s subsequent success in America led him to be regarded as one of the first British comic writers to truly crack the new world. His contributions also opened the floodgates for a wave of British writers to join DC Comics, such as Neil Gaiman, Grant Morrison and Jamie Delano.
Whilst undoubtedly writing comic books is Moore’s primary craft, he is also an accomplished novelist, short story writer, musician and, amazingly, a magician. It’s said that Moore’s humble Northampton home, where he still resides, is akin to stepping into a time capsule crammed full of books, old records and magical artefacts.
Moore also once inexplicably claimed to have invented gangster rap when he wrote a poem in his early days as a young writer. “I would probably say that my first real experience of writing with a rhythm that satisfied me was a piece that I wrote when I was perhaps 23 years old,” revealed Moore. “This would have been around 1975 when I actually invented gangster rap. I was anxious to write a piece for reading aloud at public performances that really utilized what I had come to understand about rhythm. And so I wrote this piece where the only important thing in it is the rhythm.
“Yes, it’s an interesting poem with some interesting images and things like that, an interesting atmosphere,” Moore added. “But the thing that takes the reader from the beginning to the end of this piece is its rhythm. And that’s why I wrote ‘Old Gangsters Never Die’.”

Democratic leaders attack Anthony Weiner campaign
Anthony Weiner Sunday took fire from top national Democratic advisers who joined calls for the sex scandal-plagued former congressman to get out of the New York City mayoral race.
Criticism from former Obama adviser David Axelrod, former Bill Clinton spokeswoman Dee Dee Myers and some of his opponents came as Weiner confirmed reports that his campaign manager had resigned after a week of discord from a renewed sexting scandal.
Axelrod, speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," derided Weiner as "waste of time and space."
"I think he is delusional at this point," Axelrod said. "He's not going to be mayor of New York. He should go away."
Myers, on CBS's "Face the Nation," said Bill and Hillary Clinton would want Weiner out of the race. Weiner's wife, Huma Abdebin, is a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton, a potential 2016 presidential candidate.
"This isn't a story that anybody, particularly the Clintons, is happy to see splashed all over the front pages and all over the news relentlessly," Myers said. "And I think they, as much as anyone, would like to see this go away. If they could choose, they would certainly have Weiner get out of the race and Huma get on with her life."
Neither of the Clintons has publicly spoken about Weiner's campaign.
Weiner last week admitted to illicit online liaisons with as many as three women after he resigned from Congress in 2011 after similar behavior became public.
The Democrat confirmed at a Brownsville campaign stop Sunday that his campaign manager Danny Kedem had quit.
"Danny left the campaign. He did a remarkable job," Weiner said outside Brownsville Community Baptist Church. He declined to discuss why Kedem quit or who would replace him.
"We haven't made announcements about people we're hiring," Weiner said. "We're not making announcements about people that leave."
Kedem Sunday declined to comment. His departure leaves Weiner's campaign staff at a skeletal seven members.
Weiner's campaign schedule, too, had slimmed down. He visited and spoke at one church Sunday, although his previous Sunday schedules have included stops at three or four churches, in addition to community events such as street fairs.
Barbara Morgan, Weiner's campaign spokeswoman, would not say how he spent the remainder of his day Sunday. He had no public events scheduled Saturday, instead filming a new campaign ad. Neither he nor his wife were seen leaving their Park Avenue South apartment Sunday afternoon.
Weiner's mayoral rivals renewed their criticism of his behavior and his campaign.
"When you see scandal after scandal like this, what it does is create even more distrust, and maybe even disgust, in government," City Council Speaker Christine Quinn said on "Meet the Press."
Former city comptroller Bill Thompson, speaking after a campaign stop at a Prospect Heights church, echoed others in saying that Weiner's saga had become a distraction.
The election is "supposed to be about the people of this city and the future of New York," Thompson said. "Anthony has made it about himself. He needs to get out of this race."
Weiner dug in Sunday, saying he was in the race until the voters choose.
"This is about a campaign to see who is going to lead this city," he said in Brownsville. "I think this campaign has shown that I am prepared to do it, and I am going to do it for the next 44 days."

Undercover officer testifies in 'Flush the Johns' case
An undercover officer testified Thursday that a Garden City man she helped arrest on charges of patronizing a prostitute never mentioned price nor asked for sex when he met her in a hotel room last year.
Det. Tracey Cabey, then a police officer, said "it was implied" that Walter Delaney, 55, was going to pay her because a dollar figure was cited in the Web ad where he got her telephone number.
He arrived at the East Garden City hotel about 6:30 p.m. on April 26, 2013, and spent barely 30 seconds in the room before turning and leaving, a video played in First District Court in Hempstead showed.
The officer said Delaney asked her if she was a police officer and she said she was not. She then asked him if he was a police officer and he made an obscene gesture before walking out of the room, she said.
"Hold on. Hold on," Cabey said in the video, but Delaney continued out of the room before being arrested by Cabey's backup team.
Defense attorney Leslie Rudman of Jericho suggested that Cabey wanted Delaney to return because she did not have enough evidence to arrest him.
"I thought we had enough evidence," Cabey said. "We would prefer to make the arrest in the room and not in the hallway."
Prosecutor Philip Nash made no mention of Delaney offering money during his opening statement last week, but said Delaney went to the room "to engage in sex with a woman he believes is a prostitute. . . . He knew he was in the right place for what he was looking for."
Cabey also said Delaney had mentioned a price in the telephone call, but she did not write that down in her paperwork on the case.
Delaney was one of 104 men arrested on misdemeanor charges in Nassau County in April and May 2013 in an anti-prostitution sting that police called a "reversal" of their usual practice of arresting the prostitute.
District Attorney Kathleen Rice dubbed the sting "Flush the Johns" when she publicized the arrests for the first time in June 2013. More than 80 of the men have since pleaded guilty to some charge.
Delaney is the sixth of the sting targets to go to trial. Four were acquitted and one was convicted.
Both the defense and prosecution were to sum up before Judge Sharon Gianelli, who is hearing the case without a jury. | https://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/undercover-officer-testifies-in-flush-the-johns-case-s54601 | 2022-08-02T06:33:46Z | https://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/undercover-officer-testifies-in-flush-the-johns-case-s54601 | true | 1 |

CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia’s central bank on Tuesday boosted its benchmark interest rate for a fourth consecutive month to a six-year high of 1.85%.
The Reserve Bank of Australia’s decision was the cash rate’s third consecutive hike of half a percentage point.
When the bank lifted the rate by a quarter percentage point at its monthly board meeting in May, it was the first rate hike in more than 11 years.
The cash rate is now at its highest point since May 2016 when the bank cut the rate from to 1.75% from 2%.
Reserve Bank Governor Philip Lowe said his board “places a high priority on the return of inflation” to a target range of 2% to 3% “over time, while keeping the economy on an even keel.”
“The path to achieve this balance is a narrow one and clouded in uncertainty, not least because of global developments,” Lowe said in a statement.
Tuesday’s hike was widely anticipated after official data released last week showed inflation in the year through June was 6.1%, up from 5.1% in the year through March.
Inflation only rose by 3.5% during the last calendar year.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the latest rate rise would create more financial hardship for families who are already contending with higher grocery and power prices.
“This decision doesn’t come as a surprise. It’s not a shock to anybody, but it will still sting,” Chalmers told Parliament.
Lowe is under mounting criticism over his forecast in November last year that the cash rate would remain at a record low 0.1% until 2024 despite pandemic-induced inflation.
Warren Hogan, a former economic adviser to a previous Australian government and chief economist at both the ANZ and Credit Suisse banks, said Lowe had misled borrowers into taking on more debt than they should have.
Over-extended first-home buyers were “staring down the barrel of the most significant tightening of monetary policy in the modern era,” Hogan told Australian Broadcasting Corp.
“I can’t see how much bigger an error a central bank and its board can make and it’s all about the credibility of the institution,” Hogan said, referring to the forecast of continuing low interest rates.
The government announced last month a wide-ranging review of the bank and monetary policy.
Australian home prices were falling at the fastest pace since the global financial crisis in 2008 and market conditions were “likely to worsen” as interest rates continue to rise, adding to costs for home buyers, property analytics firm CoreLogic reported on Monday.
Commonwealth Bank of Australia economists predict national home prices could fall 6% by the end of the year, with a further 8% decline possible in 2023. | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Australian-central-bank-hikes-rate-to-6-year-high-17344642.php | 2022-08-02T06:34:21Z | https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Australian-central-bank-hikes-rate-to-6-year-high-17344642.php | false | 12 |

(LEAD) S. Korean defense chief to visit Australia for talks on arms industry cooperation
(ATT: UPDATES with additional info in paras 3-6)
By Song Sang-ho
SEOUL, Aug. 2 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's Defense Minister Lee Jong-sup is set to depart for Australia on Tuesday for talks with his Australian counterpart on arms industry cooperation and regional security, his ministry said.
Lee plans to meet Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles in Canberra on Thursday to discuss two-way defense cooperation as part of follow-up measures to the summit between President Yoon Suk-yeol and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese held on the margins of a NATO summit in Madrid in June.
The two are also expected to discuss their countries' respective policy approaches toward the Indo-Pacific, a region riddled with geopolitical uncertainties amid an intensifying Sino-U.S. rivalry.
Australia is a member of the trilateral AUKUS security pact involving the United States and Britain. The pact, announced in September last year, has raised tensions with China amid speculation that it seeks to counter China's maritime influence.
The two sides could also explore ways to more effectively conduct bilateral and multilateral military drills involving the two nations, a ministry official told reporters on condition of anonymity.
North Korea is likely to be an agenda item as Australia has been an active enforcer of international sanctions on the reclusive regime, including maritime interdiction operations targeting its illicit activities, according to the official.
While in Australia, Lee and Marles also plan to visit Geelong, a southeastern city home to a K9 self-propelled howitzer factory of the South Korean firm Hanwha Defense. The visit has been arranged upon Marles' proposal.
"During the visit, they plan to reaffirm the two countries' will for bilateral arms industry cooperation," the ministry said in a press release.
Lee will also pay homage at a Korean War monument and visit the Australian Strategic Policy Institute for talks with its officials on regional security.
The planned talks between Lee and Marles would mark their second in-person talks in their current capacities following the first one on the sidelines of the annual Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore in June.
It would also be Australia's first bilateral defense ministerial talks with a partner nation in Canberra since the new Australian administration was launched in May, according to the ministry.
Meanwhile, the South Korean armored vehicle Redback has been competing to win the Australian Army's high-profile procurement project, called Land 400 Phase 3.

BIRMINGHAM: National lawn bowls veteran Siti Zalina Ahmad, who won the first of two gold medals in women’s singles 16 years ago, was back on the medal trail when she downed Norfolk Island’s Shae Wilson for bronze in the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games here today.
The 43-year-old bounced back from the disappointment of a semi-final defeat to beat Wilson 21-10 in the third placing match at Victoria Park, Leamington Spa here.
Siti Zalina had earlier lost 21-15 to Lucy Beere of Guernsey in the semi-final.
Australia’s Ellen Ryan clinched the gold medal after defeating Beere 21-17 in the final today.
Siti Zalina now has four medals from the Commonwealth Games, having won the singles gold twice in the 2002 edition in Manchester, England, and the 2006 edition in Melbourne, Australia.
She also won gold in the women’s pairs event with Emma Firyana Saroji in the 2018 edition in Gold Coast, Australia.
Siti Zalina and Emma Firyana will be in action on Tuesday (Aug 2) as they seek to defend their women’s pairs title. — Bernama | https://www.thesundaily.my/sport/lawn-bowler-siti-zalina-bags-bronze-in-women-s-singles-NE9530834 | 2022-08-02T06:48:10Z | https://www.thesundaily.my/sport/lawn-bowler-siti-zalina-bags-bronze-in-women-s-singles-NE9530834 | true | 2 |
MYSURU: Sanskrit should be used as the language of administration and communication as English is not a scientific language, said
BJP leader
Subramanian Swamy in Mysuru on Monday.
Delivering Sardar Panikkar Memorial Lecture as part of the 60th Foundation Day celebration of the Regional Institute of Education (RIE), Subramanian Swamy said Sanskrit will be the foundation for the rise of a new India in the coming years.” Along with their mother tongues, Sanskrit should also be taught to the children,” he stated.
He alleged that British rulers sidelined Sanskrit language to expand their kingdom. “They started giving more importance to English. It affected Sanskrit. They also removed Sanskrit from education. In
Tamil Nadu, the ruling DMK tried to suppress the language and its growth,” he stated.
Sanskrit is best suited for Artificial Intelligence too, Subramanian Swamy claimed.
Subramanian Swamy stated that knowledge should not be judged on the basis of caste. “Dr BR Ambedkar was Dalit by birth. However, he gave us our Constitution,” he said.
“We should start thinking that all of us are one and the same. We must prioritise education and support poor students with scholarships to enable them to pursue higher education. We can achieve progress only when we are able to offer good education for all,” he said.
He also urged the central government to increase the budgetary allocation for the education sector from 1.5% of the GDP to 10%.

RANCHI: Congress’s Bermo MLA Kumar Jaimangal and his party landed in soup after his pictures along with Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma and Pralhad Joshi went viral on social media, two days after he had lodged case against three of his party MLA colleagues and also named Assam CM for plotting to topple Hemant Soren government here.
Jaimangal’s hastily lodged an FIR at Ranchi’s Argora police station on Sunday (July 31) soon after three state Congress MLAs—Irfan Ansari (Jamtara), Naman Bixal Kongari (Kolebira) and Rajesh Kachchap (Khijiri) were arrested with Rs 49 lakh in their car by Howrah police the previous night. Jaimangal in his FIR accused Irfan and company to offer him to come to meet Himanta to work out modalities for toppling the government and even claimed that he was being offered Rs 10 crore and ministerial berth. Soon, Congress high command announced suspension of the three MLAs calling their activities as anti-party, anti-government.
After denying the allegations, BJP on Tuesday stepped up the ante against Jharkhand Congress and Jaimangal by putting out photos of Jaimangal meeting BJP leaders just five days before the FIR against Assam CM calling it as fabricated.
Tweeting pictures early in the morning today, Assam CM Pijush Hazarika wrote: “Sharing some FACTS about the baseless allegations by Jharkhand @INCIndia MLA @KumarJaimangal: - Jharkhand Cong MLA @KumarJaimangal made a fake allegation that the 3 arrested MLA’s had lured him to meet Hon’ble CM Dr. @himantabiswa sir.”
He added, “5 days before filing the fabricated FIR, Hon’ble CM Dr. @himantabiswa sir took him to the Residence of the Hon’ble Union Coal Minister Shri @JoshiPralhad ji at 9 am of 26th July, 2022 in order to help him in his trade union related matter. Mr. @KumarJaimangal has been regularly meeting HCM Dr. @himantabiswa sir. He should face the law for making a fraudulent allegation against Hon’ble Chief Minister of Assam and against those tribal MLAs.”
Retweeting his minister’s tweet, Himanta wrote: “Fake FIR in #Jharkhand. The so-called FIR looks like @INCIndia asking Ottavio Quattrocchi to file a case against Bofors.”
Amid the fresh row, Jaimangal told reporters before the state of the assembly session today that he didn’t do anything wrong. “Himanta took me to meet coal minister in Delhi as I wanted to discuss some issues related to INTUC, a trade body. I had informed CM and Congress affairs in-charge Avinash Pande about the meet. I have 20 years relationship with Himanta. No more comments,” he said.
Jharkhand BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo however demanded answers from the Congress leadership. “This MLAs, who plotted a fabricated case and accusation against BJP and its leaders, has been meeting Assam CM on his own since long. Interestingly, he never shared those pictures on his social media,” he said. | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ranchi/howrah-cash-haul-jharkhand-mlas-photo-with-assam-cm-goes-viral-sends-congress-into-tizzy/articleshow/93291093.cms | 2022-08-02T06:50:49Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ranchi/howrah-cash-haul-jharkhand-mlas-photo-with-assam-cm-goes-viral-sends-congress-into-tizzy/articleshow/93291093.cms | false | 1 |
Analysis from Veridium, TAG offers guidance on boosting enterprise authentication
A new analysis and set of recommendations sponsored by Veridium has been published to offer guidance to enterprises struggling with authenticating the digital identities of their employees and other system users.
‘Addressing the Modern Enterprise Authentication Challenge’ was written by TAG Cyber for Veridium, and sets out three forces influencing the decisions businesses make about how to authenticate users of business and commerce applications.
TAG Cyber CEO and Founder, Dr. Edward Amoroso says that while enterprises recognize the importance of strong authentication, they struggle with deployment and support. Too often, businesses continue to rely on passwords or IP source authentication, he says.
“The business forces driving decisions about modern authentication must balance the recommendations of those groups charged with security, compliance and corporate brand reputation with the recommendations of sales and marketing-oriented teams such as digital experience managers, eCommerce operators, and IT service designers,” Amoroso adds.
Security, usability and accessibility are found to be the three primary drivers behind modern authentication adoption decisions. Striking a balance between them, however, is challenging for enterprises.
The analysis concludes with a trio of recommendations for enterprises to effectively adopt and optimize stronger authentication methods, like Veridium’s contactless biometrics.
Enterprises should embrace cooperative design early in the process of selecting and implementing authentication controls, according to the analysis. They should also prioritize flexible solutions and use accurate metrics from live production to guide their decisions.
“Over the last several years and in particular, over the last two years, trusted digital identities have increasingly become the key, both to hyperconnected exchanges such as eCommerce, loyalty and customer service applications, and for the day to day, line of business exchanges among employees within an enterprise,” comments Veridium Chief Product and Operating Officer Baber Amin.
“’Addressing the Modern Enterprise Authentication Challenge’ is a strong follow-up to TAG Cyber’s recent report ‘What Keeps a CISO Up at Night’ [in 2022]. It offers clear, practical, actionable advice that can help organizations evolve their authentication strategies in ways that optimize their success.”
Veridium’s mobile biometric SDK for passwordless authentication was certified as a FIDO Authenticator in late-2021.

Shed appeal: Four homes for sale with added outdoor extras including a hair salon, games room, dog grooming space and a music studio

- Our list of outdoor spaces include a games room, a hair salon, a dog grooming facility and a music studio
- Planning expert gives advice on whether you need planning permission for a business run from your shed
Converted sheds came into their own during the pandemic as people sought to use every inch of available space following several lockdowns.
It meant that covered outdoor spaces in the garden were no longer just a discarded area to store gardening tools and a lawnmower.
Instead, they often became dedicated sanctuaries, whether that was for a relaxing garden room, a quiet office - which coined the phrase shoffice - or a games room to keep children occupied and out of the main house.
We look at four properties for sale with useful outdoor spaces (scroll down for more details about the shed pictured at a proeprty for sale in Kington Magna, Gillingham, and what is inside it)
Daniel Copley, of Zoopla, said: 'Shoffices unquestionably grew in popularity during the pandemic as homeowners tried to maintain a sense of work/life separation during a prolonged period of working from home.
'These adaptable spaces can not only be used as a home office but can also be repurposed into a gym, yoga studio, bar or indeed a children's playroom.'
Below, we take a look at four properties for sale that have different outdoor spaces - including a games room, a hair salon, a dog grooming facility and a music studio.

Tradie wrongly accused of raping a law student during a one-night stand HAD to face trial despite 'obviously flimsy evidence', prosecutors say in stunning defence of their 'MeToo' case
- Phoenix Cooper, 25, was found not guilty of raping a woman he met at the pub
- Cops charged tradie after eight months when drug results came back negative
- Supposed victim had simply been drunk, but was convinced by mates of rape
- Legal defence cost Cooper more than $200,000 to prove his innocence
- Prosecutor chief Kerri Judd claims case passed its prosecution test
The rape prosecution of a young tradie continues to ruffle feathers within Victoria's Office of Public Prosecutions amid claims it ignored its own guidelines.
Daily Mail Australia revealed last month Phoenix Cooper believed he had become a victim of the 'MeToo Movement' gone mad after Victoria Police and prosecutors pushed ahead with its case against him.
Last week, Director of Public Prosecutions, Kerri Judd, QC, published an extraordinary defence of its case against the 25-year old after a Melbourne newspaper claimed the prosecution had proceeded on 'obviously flimsy evidence'.
Phoenix Cooper was wrongly accused of drugging and raping a woman he had simply hit-it-off with at a trendy pub. The woman's law student mates described him as 'some random'
Phoenix Cooper was forced to employ high-priced barrister Philip Dunn, QC (right) to defend himself at the Supreme Court of Victoria
Kerri Judd, QC, launched an extraordinary defence of the decision to prosecute a young tradie over rape allegations the supposed victim could not remember
'It is not the role of the OPP to determine guilt or innocence. It is the role of the OPP to assess the evidence in the case and determine whether it meets the prosecution test – that there are reasonable prospects of conviction; and that the prosecution is in the public interest,' the statement read.
'This determination is made after proper and full analysis of the evidence by both an OPP lawyer and a Crown Prosecutor. It then rightfully became a matter for a jury to determine whether Mr Cooper is guilty or not guilty.'
Victoria Police has launched an investigation into the prosecution of Mr Cooper, with Victoria's Independent Broad-based Anti-corruption Commission also believed to be looking into the matter.
For eight months the investigating officer had been convinced Mr Cooper had drugged his supposed victim, who claimed she could not remember having sex with him.
But when the results came back negative - he was charged anyway.
On May 6, Mr Cooper was found not guilty by a Supreme Court of Victoria jury of raping the woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons.
Mr Cooper claimed he had been the victim of a 'one-sided' investigation.
'The (police) spent hours with (the woman) and her university mates, but 30 minutes with me. It's like their mind was made up that I was guilty,' he said.
Walk of Shame: Phoenix Cooper was chased down the road and photographed after wrongly being accused of raping a drunken law student, who was convinced by her mates that he had done wrong. Cooper is pictured with lawyer Zyg Zayler from Melasecca Kelly Zayler
In the statement, Ms Judd noted that 'a Magistrate made the decision to commit Mr Cooper to stand trial' and the assertions made in the newspaper article about victims of crime were 'disappointing and out of touch with community values and sentiment'.
'We know that coming forward with allegations of this kind is often very difficult for victims of sexual offending. To see this kind of commentary after a matter has gone through a jury trial, must be extremely disappointing for victims.'
Ms Judd denied reported allegations Mr Cooper's legal team had information withheld from it at trial and claimed he had every opportunity to argue for the matter to be dropped when it first appeared at court.
'At no time during the trial, did Mr Cooper’s legal team assert that he had no case to answer or that the matter should be stayed as an abuse of process,' she wrote.
One of Australia's top legal minds, who did not wish to be named, told Daily Mail Australia Victoria's OPP had huge internal problems following its bungled prosecution of Cardinal George Pell.
On April 7, 2020, the High Court upheld Cardinal Pell’s appeal against conviction and acquitted him of five sexual offences.
A single judgment was given for the full court, which held there was ‘a significant possibility that an innocent person has been convicted because the evidence did not establish guilt’.
Cardinal George Pell arrives at the County Court in Melbourne in 2019.
'They're a bit nervous for another reason because they insisted on charging Pell. That went through the system and the High Court found seven-nil that there wasn't any evidence,' the legal expert told Daily Mail Australia.
'The consequence of that for the OPP, who insisted on proceeding with it, is that they charged him in a case where the High Court has said there was no evidence. That's got some similarities (with Mr Cooper).'
The expert claimed the OPP seemed more interested in cutting deals with women offenders and running rape trials against men.
'They seemed to have breached their rules (in this case) that there has got to be a reasonable prospect of conviction,' he said.
Mr Cooper told Daily Mail Australia he hoped no one else would have to endure what he had.
'Why did nobody put the brakes on this? Why has it gone this far? Imagine you had a son and your son was in a situation like this? Or a mate? Or a brother? It could happen to anyone,' he said after his acquittal in May.
Mr Cooper believes he inadvertently became embroiled in the 'MeToo Movement' - a social movement against sexual abuse, sexual harassment, and rape culture, in which people publicise their experiences of sexual abuse or sexual harassment.
'Look, don't get me wrong, I believe in the MeToo Movement. But this is wrong. This is not rape in any world. There are guys going through this every single day that are facing years in prison and they can't afford proper legal support and end up in jail on flimsy, flimsy charges,' he said.
Mr Cooper, who was represented by top Melbourne silk Philip Dunn, QC, said his defence cost more than $200,000. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/melbourne/article-11071741/Prosecutors-make-extraordinary-defence-MeToo-prosecution-Phoenix-Cooper.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-02T06:52:37Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/melbourne/article-11071741/Prosecutors-make-extraordinary-defence-MeToo-prosecution-Phoenix-Cooper.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | false | 2 |

Governor Abbott Invites Mayors Of NYC, DC To Texas Border
TEXAS, August 1 - August 1, 2022 | Austin, Texas | Press Release
Governor Greg Abbott today sent a letter to New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, inviting the mayors to visit Texas’ southern border to see the humanitarian crisis firsthand. Local communities are being overrun by record-high numbers of illegal immigrants as President Biden’s reckless open border policies have invited mass migration and transnational criminal activity into Texas communities.
“As law enforcement agents along the Texas-Mexico border respond to thousands of illegal crossings each and every day, putting their lives on the line for Texans and for all Americans, the crisis demands the attention of not only the Biden Administration, which is responsible for securing the border, but of leaders across the country,” reads the letter. "As Governor, I invite you to visit our border region to see firsthand the dire situation that only grows more urgent with each passing day, and to meet with the local officials, who like yourselves, realize this matter deserves immediate federal action.”
Texas has bused thousands of migrants to Washington, D.C. who would have otherwise been released into small border communities with more limited resources than the nation’s capital. Last month, Governor Abbott responded to New York City Mayor Adams’ false accusations attacking the mission by calling on the mayor to direct his complaints to President Biden for refusing to secure the southern border.
Governor Abbott has taken significant action to secure the border in the wake of the federal government’s inaction. Those actions include:
- Securing $4 billion in funding for Texas' border security efforts
- Launching Operation Lone Star and deploying thousands of National Guard soldiers and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers
- Taking aggressive action to secure the border as President Biden ends Title 42 expulsions, including busing thousands of migrants to Washington, D.C.
- Arresting and jailing criminals trespassing or committing other state crimes along the southern border
- Allocating resources that include acquiring 1,700 unused steel panels to build the border wall in Texas
- Signing a law to make it easier to prosecute smugglers bringing people into Texas
- Signing 15 laws cracking down on human trafficking in Texas
- Signing a law enhancing penalties for the manufacturing and distribution of fentanyl
- Issuing a disaster declaration for the border crisis
- Issuing an executive order preventing non-governmental entities from transporting illegal immigrants
- Signing memoranda of understanding between the State of Texas and the States of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to enhance border security measures that will prevent illegal immigration from Mexico to Texas
- Activating the Joint Border Security Operations Center (JBSOC) and directing the Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Military Department, and Texas Division of Emergency Management to coordinate Texas’ response to secure the border
- Issuing an executive order authorizing the Texas National Guard and Texas Department of Public Safety to return illegal immigrants to the border at ports of entry
- Creating DPS strike teams and establishing new vehicle inspection checkpoints targeting semi-trucks and other commercial motor vehicles

K-pop superstar J-Hope of BTS made history on Sunday as the closer at Chicago’s annual Lollapalooza weekend, becoming the first South Korean act to headline a major US music festival.
The star appeared to dramatically pop out of a box as he took the stage in Chicago’s Grant Park, and was greeted by a sea of screaming fans.
The crowd rapped and sang along to songs from J-Hope’s new solo album and to BTS classics such as ‘Dynamite.’
“Do you want some more?” he asked the mass of people, offering a special shout-out to the “BTS Army,” as the group’s super-fans are known.
J-Hope, who also presented a special message to viewers in Korean, was joined at the end of his set by singer Becky G for a rendition of their collaboration “Chicken Noodle Soup.”
This year’s edition of Lollapalooza, which was streamed live on the Hulu platform, also featured the US festival debut of Tomorrow X Together, another South Korean boy band that is under the same label as BTS.
“These artists have been given great gifts in communication. Their global audience speak different languages but possess an intense passion for their music,” said Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell in June.
“Lolla is the place where all music genres live in harmony.”
J-Hope’s main-stage performance comes more than a month after the seven members of BTS - one of the world’s most popular acts - said they were taking a break from the group to focus on solo pursuits.
In an emotional video clip posted to the septet’s official YouTube channel, they told fans they were “exhausted” and needed time apart.
At the time, J-Hope said the move could help BTS “become a stronger group.”
The 28-year-old performer’s debut solo mixtape “Hope World” peaked at number 38 on the Billboard top albums chart in 2018.
BTS is the first all-South Korean act to reign over Billboard’s US top singles chart, a milestone they achieved with “Dynamite,” the group’s first smash hit sung completely in English.
They are also one of few acts since The Beatles to release four albums that hit number one in the United States in less than two years.
The group has twice been nominated for a Grammy but has yet to win.
BTS made headlines earlier this year for visiting the White House to deliver a message on the fight against anti-Asian racism to President Joe Biden. | https://gulfnews.com/entertainment/hollywood/bts-j-hope-makes-history-on-lollapalooza-festival-stage-1.89661586 | 2022-08-02T07:10:19Z | https://gulfnews.com/entertainment/hollywood/bts-j-hope-makes-history-on-lollapalooza-festival-stage-1.89661586 | true | 10 |
