Delhi LG seeks explanation from ACB over delay in probing corruption cases
Lieutenant governor (LG) VK Saxena has asked anti-corruption branch (ACB) and the directorate of vigilance (DoV) to ensure that there is no delay in investigating complaints and cases of corruption against government officials. He also sought explanations from the department on cases and complaints that have been pending for more than a year -- some of them have been pending since 2012 -- and the said the same should be furnished to his office at the earliest.
A statement issued by the LG’s office on Tuesday said the ACB has been directed to furnish a list of all such cases, citing reasons for pendency, to the LG’s office. Saxena’s office claimed that the move is aimed at the speedy disposal of cases.
“LG has also issued strict instructions to the DoV and all departments to carefully consider all cases and complaints referred to them for comments and examination and ensure that the same are provided within a fixed time frame after judicious application of mind,” his office stated.
The new directions have come amid an ongoing tussle between Saxena and the Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government; the LG has also recently ordered an ACB probe into the alleged irregularities in the construction of seven temporary hospitals to treat Covid-19 last year by the AAP government.
“The LG’s directions came in the wake of several cases of alleged corruption against government officials that were put to him and displayed serious non-application of mind and inordinate delays by the departments and agencies concerned. While there were many cases of investigation pending since as long as 2012-2017, in others, the administrative departments had not furnished their comments and in some, the DoV had submitted self-contradictory recommendations for grant of sanction,” Saxena’s office said.
Saxena also directed the DoV to ensure that requests from ACB are submitted for his consideration only after due diligence by the administrative departments concerned and the comments of the administrative department should be put on record without fail and it should be ensured that the recommendations made by the various agencies are to farthest possible extent, not in variance with each other and are not self contradictory, the office said.

(Motor Authority) — Volkswagen on Tuesday started production of the ID.4 crossover at its plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, the automaker’s first electric vehicle to be built on U.S. soil.
The milestone comes three years after the automaker announced plans to spend $800 million and create 1,000 jobs at the Chattanooga plant to support EV production. The plant is also where VW builds the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport SUVs.
The ID.4 is currently the most popular EV of all Volkswagen Group brands, with 190,000 sold globally since the vehicle’s launch in late 2020. Starting U.S. production is expected to boost numbers as VW has confirmed a lower starting price in the U.S. for locally-built ID.4s.
The ID.4 is currently imported to the U.S. from Germany and carries a starting price of $41,955, including a $1,195 destination charge. VW has previously hinted that locally-built ID.4s will be priced from around $36,000, though the automaker didn’t confirm a figure with Tuesday’s production announcement.
Instead, VW confirmed the starting price of the ID.4 will be lowered when a version with a 62-kilowatt-hour battery enters production at Chattanooga later this year. Deliveries of U.S.-built ID.4s will start in October.
VW aims to build ID.4s in Chattanooga at a monthly rate of 7,000 units by the end of 2022, with the goal to further increase output through 2023. Batteries will mostly be sourced from an SK Innovation plant located in Georgia.
VW Group has big plans for EVs in the U.S. The automaker in March announced a $7.1 billion investment to expand its EV lineup across North America—a region the automaker sees as having the greatest potential for growth. VW Group wants to have more than 25 EVs on sale in North America by 2030, and have EVs account for 55% of its total sales in the region by that date.
And a number of these will be built locally. There are reports of the upcoming ID.Buzz van may eventually be built in the U.S., and VW has also confirmed plans to build Scout-branded electric SUVs and pickup trucks here from 2026. | https://www.8newsnow.com/automotive/volkswagen-is-now-building-evs-in-the-us/ | 2022-08-02T19:13:00Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/automotive/volkswagen-is-now-building-evs-in-the-us/ | false | 23 |

WEST HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) – A family in Connecticut got quite a scare after a bear broke into their house and helped itself to some treats over the weekend.
“I wasn’t scared. I was just mad,” said Bill Priest, the West Hartford homeowner. “I don’t know why I was mad, I was just really mad he was there.”
The bear had first entered Priest’s garage on July 25, opening a refrigerator and emptying its contents across the floor, Priest said. On that occasion, an animal control officer told the homeowners to contact Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) and to keep the house’s main doors closed for the next week.
On Sunday afternoon, the bear returned, coming face-to-face with Priest inside his home.
“He was on the floor chowing down after finding things on the counter,” said Priest, who told Nexstar’s WTNH that he had just finished working in the yard when he found the bear eating sweets in the kitchen.
Priest also filmed himself yelling at the bear, telling it to “get out of here.”
“Go on! Go! Take off, bud!” Priest can be heard yelling as the bear meanders out of the front door.
In the same video, after Priest successfully shoos the bear from the front door, he heads to the garage to find the bear waiting by his open garage door.
“Go on! Time to leave!” he yells.
“I had to get a little more aggressive … I could have yelled at him all day, and we would have just, both just stood there,” Priest told WTNH.
This same bear paid the family a visit once again on Monday morning, trying to get in through the front but only managing to damage the screen door.
DEEP has since set up a bear trap next to Priest’s home, using a box of stale doughnuts as bait. If successful, DEEP will return to tranquilize the bear and work to condition the animal against returning to Priest’s residence.
DEEP’s guidelines also note that Priest did the right thing in this particular situation by raising his voice.
“If you see a bear on your property you can either leave the bear alone and wait for it to leave or make loud noises from a safe distance to attempt to scare the bear away,” Connecticut’s DEEP writes of black bears. “After the bear leaves the property, remove anything that may have attracted it to the area.”
There have been more than 7,000 bear sightings across Connecticut since the beginning of the year, according to DEEP. The department’s official site has more information on how to avoid attracting bears, as well as tips for staying safe during bear encounters. | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/national-news/video-connecticut-man-yells-at-bear-until-it-leaves-his-kitchen/ | 2022-08-02T19:14:04Z | https://www.8newsnow.com/news/national-news/video-connecticut-man-yells-at-bear-until-it-leaves-his-kitchen/ | false | 22 |

TORONTO — There's something about facing the Ottawa Redblacks that seems to agree with McLeod Bethel-Thompson. The veteran quarterback is 6-0 versus Ottawa over his CFL career. He'll chase a seventh straight victory when the Toronto Argonauts (3-2) host the Redblacks (0-6) at BMO Field on Sunday. "I had no idea but I put absolutely nothing in that," Bethel-Thompson said. "That's a very talented team, their backs are against the wall, they have nothing to lose, they're going to throw the kitchen
MONTREAL — Defence dominated in a battle of two high-powered offences on Saturday as CF Montreal and New York City FC played to a scoreless draw at Stade Saputo. For two higher scoring teams in Major League Soccer, the first half was remarkably prudent. Montreal (11-8-3) enjoyed the lion’s share of the possession with New York (12-4-6) seemingly more than happy to sit in a low block and wait for a counterattack. The first chance went Montreal’s way just after the 10-minute mark. A dangerous ball
Canadian soccer star Alphonso Davies says he will donate his World Cup earnings to charity.

Vancouver is refunding the $500,000 deposit for a major international electric car race that was supposed to have happened earlier this month before organizers pulled out. The two-day event was scheduled to start on July 2, and included a Nickelback concert, before being cancelled by its organizer, One Stop Strategy (OSS) Group, who have previously said it would be rescheduled to next year. But four weeks after the cancelled event's original date, ticket-holders have complained about not receivi
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Formula One champion Max Verstappen overcame a spin and his worst starting spot of the season to win the Hungarian Grand Prix on Sunday. His eighth win of the season pushed Verstappen's lead to 80 points over Charles Leclerc as F1 heads into its midseason break. Mercedes placed both its cars on the podium for the second straight race; seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton carved his way from seventh to a second-place finish, teammate and pole-sitter George Russell was th
NEW YORK (AP) — Jake Paul's boxing match at Madison Square Garden next week has been canceled after his promotional team said opponent Hasim Rahman Jr. did not intend to honor the contracted weight limit. Most Valuable Promotions said Saturday that Rahman had signed a contract July 5 to weigh a maximum of 200 pounds. However, it said in a statement that a weight check Friday showed that he had only lost one pound since weighing 216 then and that the New York State Athletic Commission said it wou
BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom — Canadian swimming star Summer McIntosh has added to her burgeoning medal case. On the heels of her success at the world aquatic championships last month, the 15-year-old from Toronto captured Canada's first gold medal at the Commonwealth Games, winning the 400-metre individual medley in stunning fashion on Friday. McIntosh, who became the first Canadian to win two gold medals at a single championship in Budapest, broke both the Games and her own national record, touc
Seventeen-year-old Gabrielle Landry's volleyball team, Triple Trouble, has just won their first sets at the Ontario Summer Indigenous Games. She's pleased, but not over-the-moon with their play at OSIG 2022. "Our skill and our effort was okay, considering that this is the very first time we have been able to compete together as a team," she said. Landry's summary — we're good, but we could be so much better — speaks for untold numbers of young Indigenous athletes in Ontario nowadays. Almost ever
DETROIT (AP) — Tony Finau sent an approach from 250 yards soaring over trees and onto the seventh green at Detroit Golf Club, going for the reward and ignoring the risk with a difficult shot. The way he has been playing over the last week, it made a lot of sense. Finau, coming off his third career victory on the PGA Tour, and Canadian Taylor Pendrith shared the first-round lead at 8-under 64 on Thursday in the Rocket Mortgage Classic. The pivotal shot on Finau's 16th hole, a 560-yard par 5, set
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The learning curve in Major League Soccer continues for Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernardeschi. The Italian stars played their first three games for Toronto FC, including two on artificial turf, and travelled more than 8,000 kilometres this week as the team went from BMO Field to Vancouver and back before flying to Boston. Goalkeeper Alex Bono called it a "trial by fire" for the two new designated players. "I'd like to tell them they've seen some of the toughest conditions
BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom — A day after Kelsey Mitchell joked that she was "consistently silver," Canada's Olympic champion added one more. The 28-year-old from Sherwood Park, Alta., won silver in track cycling's 500-metre time trial on Sunday, and was pleased with the result in a race she rarely contests. "It's not a new experience for silver, but very happy with my performance," Mitchell said. "I was one of the first to go and had to wait to see how everyone did." Kristina Clonan of Australia

BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom — Canadians continue to rack up medals at the Commonwealth Games. Three Canadians were golden on Monday, as part of a 13-medal performance. Maude Charron of Sainte-Luce, Que., won the women's 64-kilogram weightlifting event to set a Commonwealth Games record. Judoka Christa Deguchi won in the women's 57-kilogram event and swimmer Summer McIntosh of Toronto was atop the podium in the women's 200-metre individual medley. Charron lifted 101 kilograms in the snatch and the
TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays clubhouse had a different vibe on Saturday morning. Instead of some quiet country music or baseball highlights playing on the spacious room's TVs, a DJ was performing a set featuring house music and classic rap and R&B tracks from the late 1990s. Although the clubhouse has an impressive sound system, usually deployed with a fog machine after big wins, interim Blue Jays manager John Schneider decided to shake things up ahead of their matinee against the visiting De
CALGARY — Nic Demski and Dalton Schoen caught two touchdown passes each from quarterback Zach Collaros as the Winnipeg Blue Bombers beat the Calgary Stampeders 35-38 in CFL action Saturday night to stay undefeated. Collaros had a superb game for Winnipeg (8-0) as he completed 22-of-30 passes for 270 yards. Marc Liegghio kicked two field goals and a single for the Bombers, who will look to keep their winning streak alive when they travel to Monteal to face the Alouettes next Thursday. Ka’Deem Car
TORONTO — Teoscar Hernandez doesn't always grab the headlines like his Toronto Blue Jays teammates, but there's no denying he can be an impact player. Hernandez's three-run homer was part of a four-run comeback as the Toronto Blue Jays rallied past the Detroit Tigers 5-3 on Saturday. Toronto interim manager John Schneider said Hernandez should not be overlooked by fans or opposing teams. "He can change the game with one swing just as much as anyone around the league," said Schneider. "He got a m
TORONTO — The Ottawa Redblacks felt like it was just a matter of time before they removed the zero from the left side of the CFL standings column. "Well it certainly breaks that 'well, you haven't won a game yet, right?'" Redblacks coach Paul LaPolice said after his club's 23-13 win against the Toronto Argonauts at BMO Field on Sunday. "We're happy to get a win and happy to survive for 24 hours and enjoy it." Ottawa receiver Jaelon Acklin had a touchdown reception and led his team with 144 recei
BOSTON (AP) — Bill Russell, the NBA great who anchored a Boston Celtics dynasty that won 11 championships in 13 years — the last two as the first Black head coach in any major U.S. sport — and marched for civil rights with Martin Luther King Jr., died Sunday. He was 88. His family posted the news on social media, saying Russell died with his wife, Jeannine, by his side. The statement did not give the cause of death. “Bill's wife, Jeannine, and his many friends and family thank you for keeping Bi
CALGARY — Zach Collaros kept his composure in a back-and-forth game to keep his Winnipeg Blue Bombers undefeated. Although Winnipeg trailed at four different times during Saturday's CFL game, the star quarterback found a way to lead the Blue Bombers (8-0) to a 35-28 victory over the Calgary Stampeders (4-2) at McMahon Stadium. “That’s Zach Collaros for you,” said receiver Nic Demski, who returned to action after missing the past four games with an ankle injury and caught a pair of touchdown pass | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/29-most-useful-amazon-products-170156353.html?src=rss | 2022-08-02T19:19:33Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/29-most-useful-amazon-products-170156353.html?src=rss | false | 11 |

PASCO COUNTY, Fla. (WFLA) – A Florida woman pushed back when deputies showed up at her house to serve an eviction notice and it turned out they were at the wrong home.
Jennifer Michele didn’t expect to receive a Ring doorbell alert on Thursday showing two Pasco County deputies and a locksmith at her front door. Michele said they were drilling through her lock.
“I didn’t know if these people were trying to get into my house,” she said. “I didn’t know if everything was OK.”
She was able to speak with the three men through her doorbell’s camera.
“They told me they were serving an eviction, which is news to me because I don’t rent,” Michele said. “But they told me it was posted last week.”
Ring video shows one of the deputies going back to the front of the house during the exchange. It didn’t take them long to realize they were at the wrong house.
“As soon as I said my name, they knew that they’d messed up,” Michele said. “I was upset. I was upset. I was very upset.”
Michele told WFLA the deputies meant to go next door. They apologized for the mix-up.
“As soon as I came here, they told me that I’m going to need a new lock and that the guy who was going to break my lock was going to fix it,” she said.
She’s just glad she caught them at the right time.
“I just think if I didn’t catch it, would all my stuff be in the driveway? I don’t know. I don’t know how it would’ve played out if I didn’t catch it,” said Michele.
A spokesperson with the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office said they’re investigating the incident to find out how the mistake was made. WFLA was also told the deputies quickly figured out their error and fixed it.
Michele said she was able to laugh about the mix-up once it was over. She posted the Ring doorbell footage on TikTok and her experience went viral, racking up over 1 million views. | https://www.fox46.com/news/national-news/video-florida-deputies-attempt-eviction-at-wrong-house/ | 2022-08-02T19:23:06Z | https://www.fox46.com/news/national-news/video-florida-deputies-attempt-eviction-at-wrong-house/ | false | 14 |

- Chris Waddle at Marseille and Glenn Hoddle at Monaco were successful in 80s
- David Beckham rounded off his playing career with stint at Paris Saint-Germain

Aaron Ramsey is poised to swap the Alpine vistas of Turin for the sun-kissed shores of the Cote d'Azur as the Welshman takes the next step in his career.
The midfielder settled up with Juventus to exit his contract a year early and has signed for ambitious Ligue 1 club Nice on a free.
It gives 31-year-old Ramsey a chance to revive a career that faltered in Italy and play himself into form ahead of the World Cup in November.
Wales midfielder Aaron Ramsey has completed a move to Nice after leaving Juventus
The Wales midfielder has been without a club after settling the final year of his Juventus deal
He will become the fourth Welshman to play in the French top-flight and the first since Brynley Griffiths turned out for FC Nancy in the late 1950s.
Other Welshmen to have played in France include Dai Astley, a prolific goalscorer in his day who joined Metz in 1946-47 at the end of a career that included spells with Charlton, Aston Villa and Derby.
The other was William Arthur Hayward, who played for SC Fives, one of the forerunner clubs of the modern-day Lille, in the 1932-33 season.
But while Welsh players have been thin on the ground, Ramsey joins an extensive list of British footballers who have plied their trade on the other side of the Channel.
DAVID BECKHAM
Paris Saint-Germain - 2012-13
With just the simple utterance of the word 'Bonjour' at his unveiling, David Beckham had the City of Lights under his spell.
The erstwhile England captain was right at the twilight of his glittering career when PSG signed him from LA Galaxy on a short-term contract.
What's more, Becks played for free with all of his salary donated to a Parisian children's charity.
The tears flow as David Beckham leaves the field in his final game as a player - for Paris Saint-Germain against Brest in May 2013
Becks was 37 when he spent the final few months of his playing career at the Parc des Princes
He may have been 37 and used mainly off the bench but Beckham still offered a sprinkling of stardust and would pick up a Ligue 1 winners' medal.
Shortly before the end of the campaign, Beckham announced his intention to hang up his boots and he received a standing ovation from the Parc des Princes when he bowed out in a game against Brest.
And, by the way, what a pair of boots to hang up - his trademark adidas predators adorned with the British flag and inscribed with the names of his wife and children.
The former England captain wore specially customised adidas boots for his final match
GLENN HODDLE
Monaco - 1987-1990
Hoddle was the kind of cultured midfielder appreciated on the continent but produced so rarely by England.
After considerable success with Tottenham, Hoddle wanted to test himself in a foreign league and signed for Monaco in 1987.
His move to the principality meant he could also continue to play in European competitions, with English clubs banned following the Heysel disaster.
Glenn Hoddle (right) and Mark Hateley (left) were signed by Monaco boss Arsene Wenger
Hoddle fitted in nicely to a team coached by a young Arsene Wenger and also featuring fellow Englishman Mark Hateley and prolific striker George Weah.
His first season saw Monaco clinch their first Ligue 1 title in six years and they reached the European Cup quarter-finals the following year.
Unfortunately, his effectiveness was curbed by a serious knee injury that saw an early exit from the club and also curtail Hoddle's career. In all, he scored 30 times in 87 appearances.
CHRIS WADDLE
Marseille - 1989-1992
After Hoddle had done so much to restore the reputation of the British footballer abroad, Waddle also swapped White Hart Lane for the Mediterranean coast when he moved to Marseille in 1989.
The classy attacking midfielder is by far the most successful player from these shores to play in French football and is still regarded as 'Magic Chris' by the Marseille fans.
Chris Waddle celebrates Marseille's win over AC Milan in the 1991 European Cup quarter-final
The Englishman was voted Marseille's second best player of all time behind Jean Pierre Papin
He did cost them £4.5m, the third-highest transfer fee ever paid at that time, but during his time at Stade Velodrome they were French champions three times and runners-up in the European Cup.
His trademark mullet flowing behind him, Waddle scored 29 goals in 149 Marseille appearances and in 1998 was voted the club's second best player of all time behind Jean Pierre Papin.
While Waddle's skill enabled Marseille to dominate domestically, they agonisingly lost on penalties to Red Star Belgrade in the 1991 European Cup final.
Waddle had returned to England and joined Sheffield Wednesday by the time Marseille did claim the famous trophy two years later.

JOEY BARTON
Marseille - 2012-2013
After Barton was sent off and slapped with a 12-match ban for attempting to fight the whole Manchester City team during the famous 'Aguerroooooo' title-decider in 2012, a move abroad seemed the most sensible option.
The midfielder chose Marseille, a club and a city more tolerant of a maverick than most.
Unfortunately, the French authorities decided Barton had to serve his ban there as well, restricting him to just Europa League action at first.
Joey Barton (right) keeps tabs on Beckham (left) during a clash between PSG and Marseille
He scored directly from a corner kick in a game against Borussia Monchengladbach and there was plenty of appreciation for his fighting spirit but controversy was never far away.
In May 2013, he was given a two-match suspended ban for calling PSG's Thiago Silva an 'overweight ladyboy' on Twitter.
In all, Barton played 33 times for the club during his loan spell before returning to Loftus Road.
In his absence, QPR had suffered relegation to the Championship and chairman Tony Fernandes admitted the team had 'missed a real leader' in Barton.

JOE COLE
Lille - 2011-2012
England midfielder Cole had fallen out of favour at Liverpool and in the summer of 2011 headed to reigning Ligue 1 champions Lille in search of more regular football.
His year in France was a fairly successful one, with four goals and three assists in his 27 league appearances, plus a few extra goals in the domestic cup competitions.
Cole played in the same Lille side as Eden Hazard before the Belgian signed for Chelsea and he performed consistently enough for manager Rudi Garcia to want to keep him a little longer.
However, new Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was determined that he returned to Anfield in the summer of 2012. But there was no winning back his place and Cole would soon be on his way back to West Ham.
Joe Cole enjoyed a productive loan spell at French club Lille in the 2011-2012 season
MARK HATELEY
Monaco - 1987-1990
Hateley already had experience of continental football having played three seasons with AC Milan before joining Hoddle and Wenger at Monaco in 1987.
The striker would score 13 times as Monaco claimed the league title in his first season but he would never be able to exceed that total, scoring seven times in 1988-89 and three goals the following season.
Nonetheless, Hateley commanded a £1million transfer fee when Rangers bought him in 1990 and he would go on to experience several years of success at Ibrox.
Hateley and Hoddle recreate their Monaco glory days on the Stade Louis II pitch in 2015
LAURIE CUNNINGHAM
Marseille - 1984-1985
Cunningham had already spent time with Real Madrid by the time he took up another overseas challenge at Marseille for the 1984-85 campaign.
The winger would only spend the one season there and it was far from the club's best.
In fact, the eight goals Cunningham scored played a significant part in sparing them from relegation. Marseille finished just one place and two points above the drop zone having won promotion the season before.
The glories that would come along just a handful of years later for Marseille were a distant dream during Cunningham's short time there.

Clive Allen in Bordeaux colours in 1988
CLIVE ALLEN
Bordeaux - 1988-1989
Allen was a reliable goalscorer for Tottenham during the mid-1980s but fancied a change of scenery and moved to France's wine capital Bordeaux for the 1988-89 season.
Despite a very good return of 13 goals in 19 league appearances for them, Allen would stay just the one season.
It was a pretty middling campaign as well, with Bordeaux finishing a lowly 13th and not looking likely to challenge the likes of Marseille, Monaco or PSG at the top.
Allen swiftly returned to English football and joined Manchester City before later playing for Chelsea, West Ham, Millwall and Carlisle.
RAY WILKINS
Paris Saint-Germain - 1987-1988
Wilkins was another prominent English player of his era who dabbled with a brief stint in French football. It was indeed short; just 13 matches during 1987-88.
It was almost a stop off for Wilkins between his much-heralded time with AC Milan and a successful few years with Rangers.
And like many contemporaries in the eighties, Wilkins' time in France coincided with a lean spell for their club.
PSG finished down in 15th during that particular season, finishing just a couple of points above the relegation places.

JOHN COLLINS
Monaco - 1996-1998
Plenty of Scottish footballers played in France during the 1930s and 1940s but they've been thin on the ground in the decades since.
Collins is one exception, spending a couple of years with Monaco in the mid-1990s.
It was a contentious move under the then-relatively new Bosman ruling and Celtic were left furious that the midfielder left on a free.

Chasing compensation, they tried to argue the Bosman rule didn't apply because Monaco was outside the jurisdiction of the European Union. The claim wasn't successful.
Collins made an impact, helping Monaco win the title in 1997.
They reached the semi-finals of the Champions League the following season, beating Manchester United in the quarters before Juventus knocked them out.
Monaco sold Collins on to Everton in the summer of 1998, shortly after he'd represented Scotland at France '98 and memorably scored a penalty against Brazil in the tournament opener.

Rare nickel sells for $1,027 online – the exact design error to look for to spot a similar piece
YOUR spare change might be much more valuable than its face value implies, but you may need to check the tails side to find out.
One nickel containing a hard-to-notice error was recently sold online for $1,027.04, and similar coins can be worth much more.
From 1913 through 1938, a standard US nickel featured a buffalo on the tails, or reverse side.
The eponymous animals of the Buffalo Nickel series were all supposed to have four legs, but some 1936 nickels were produced with just three legs clearly showing.
The Sun previously covered 1937 Buffalo nickels with a similar error that are worth thousands.
Here's how much you could be in line to make if you manage to find one of these 1936 coins in your collection.
The value of 1936 Buffalo nickels
All five-cent coins from 1936 have appreciated somewhat.
Circulated non-error pieces made in Philadelphia that year can be worth $2, while Denver and San Francisco 1936 nickels are worth $3.
However, the coin's value increases exponentially if one of the buffalo's legs is obscured.
Most read in Money
This coin "was created by overpolishing of the reverse die, resulting in loss of detail on the front foreleg," according to Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) president Ron Guth.
This recently sold 3 1/2 leg 1936 Buffalo coin was initially listed for one cent, but seven bidders exchanged 11 offers that drove the price over $1,000.
Although the coin was ungraded, the buyer may have gotten a massive discount if this coin is deemed to be in great condition.
According to the PCGS, high-quality circulated 1936 3 1/2 leg nickels can sell for up to $14,950.
Uncirculated variations of the coin can sell for twice as much, according to PCGS.
How to find valuable coins
There are many ways you can find rare coins.
The first thing you’ll want to do is check around your home or any places you might store change.
You can also try using a metal detector outdoors, or stopping by your local bank and asking for a roll of coins.
You can easily exchange bills for coins, getting plenty of change to sort through for standouts at no cost.
To check if your coins are worth anything on eBay, search the full name, select the "sold" listing and then toggle the search to "highest value”.
This way, you'll get a sense of what collectors are willing to pay for your coins.
You can either choose to sell the coin on eBay or through a specialist site such as Coinappraiser or USA Coin Book.
And be aware of potential fakes when buying online.
To avoid this, it's worth checking the seller’s history and whether or not the coin was certified in the listing.

Utah man accused of causing wildfire by burning a spider
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah man has been arrested on accusations he started a wildfire while trying to burn a spider with his lighter.
Cory Allan Martin, 26, told deputies that he spotted the spider Monday while he was in a hiking area in the foothills south of Salt Lake City near the city of Springville, shows a probable cause statement. He acknowledged starting the fire, but didn’t explain why he was trying to burn the spider.
Deputies found a jar of marijuana in his belongings, but he didn’t appear to be high, said Utah County Sheriff’s Sgt. Spencer Cannon.
There is no evidence to suggest he intentionally started the blaze, said Cannon, but he called it a reckless and puzzling decision. This area and most of Utah are bone dry amid extreme drought conditions.
“What led him to stop and notice a spider and decide to try to burn it, we don’t know,” Cannon said. “There may not be a why. He might not even know a why.”
Martin was arrested on suspicion of reckless burn and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia, court documents show.
He was in the Utah County jail Tuesday on nearly $2,000 bail. It was unknown if he had an attorney.
The wildfire quickly spread up the mountain and had burned less than 1 square mile (1 square kilometer) as of Tuesday, according to fire officials. No homes had been damaged.

Vaccine development in focus as monkeypox tally reaches 8
New Delhi: Two new cases of monkeypox—one each from Delhi and Kerala—were reported on Tuesday, taking India’s tally to eight, the health ministry said, while states separately began preparations to intensify surveillance and isolation of suspected and confirmed cases.
Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya separately held a meeting with Adar Poonawalla, the chief executive officer of Pune-based Serum Institute of India (SII), to discuss the possibility of a vaccine being developed for the disease, and told parliament that the government had begun the process of developing testing kits and inoculations.
“Till date eight cases of monkeypox have been detected in India, out of which five have foreign travel history,” Mandaviya said on Tuesday while replying to queries in the Rajya Sabha.
Urging people not to panic, he said the infection is known to spread through close contact, and said that the Union government is taking all measures to control, detect and isolate patients in order to prevent the spread of the infection.
Of the two new cases on Tuesday, one is a 30-year-old man from Kerala who had recently returned from the UAE and tested positive for the infection. The patient is admitted to a hospital in Malappuram district, Kerala’s health minister Veena George said.
“The patient reached the Kozhikode airport on July 27 from the UAE and is undergoing treatment at the Manjeri Medical College in Malappuram,” George said in a press briefing.
This is the fifth monkeypox case reported from the southern state. On Monday, the Kerala government confirmed that a 22-year-old man, who died on July 30, tested positive for monkeypox, becoming the first fatality from the virus in India. The man had first tested positive in the UAE on July 19 and travelled to India without disclosing his health status to authorities.
The other confirmed monkeypox case on Tuesday was reported from the national Capital, where a 31-year-old man, a Nigerian national, tested positive. He was admitted to the Delhi government-run Lok Nayak Hospital — Capital’s nodal hospital for monkeypox — on Monday after developing fever and rashes on the skin. His condition is stated to be stable. Another 35-year-old Nigerian national also tested positive on Monday. “Neither of the two patients has a foreign travel history,” doctors from LNJP hospital said.
Meanwhile, Poonawalla on Tuesday met the Union health minister at the Nirman Bhawan in Delhi and briefed him that his firm is conducting research to find a vaccine against monkeypox.
“My meeting went well like always. All preparations for the vaccine are being done. I briefed the minister on this. We are researching the possible ways to develop a vaccine for monkeypox,” Poonawalla was quoted as saying by news agency ANI after his meeting with Mandavia.
Monkeypox, usually a self-limited disease, manifests itself with fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes and may lead to a range of medical complications. The symptoms last for two to four weeks.
The infection, unlike Covid-19, is not easily airborne and spreads through close contact with bodily fluids or through contact with the clothes or bed linen of an infected person.
Health experts said the government should keep a close watch on new infections. Even though the global death rate for monkeypox is quite low, the severe illness may be related to the overall health status of the person, the extent of virus exposure, the virus strain, and the nature of complications that can develop such as sepsis resulting from secondary infections from the skin lesions, pneumonia, or encephalitis, they added.
“Persons with immunocompromising conditions such as cancer (such as lymphoma) or uncontrolled and advanced HIV with low T-cell counts appear to have a higher risk of death. Young children, children with eczema and other skin conditions, and children with immunocompromising conditions may also be at increased risk of severe disease,” said Dr Amita Gupta, chief, Division of Infectious Diseases at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in the US.
“We do not yet know how much protection people have who have been previously vaccinated with smallpox, but we do know that there are people younger than 40-50 years (depending on the country) who may be more susceptible due to cessation of smallpox vaccination campaigns globally after eradication of the disease,” she added. | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/vaccine-development-in-focus-as-monkeypox-tally-reaches-8-101659463090338-amp.html | 2022-08-02T19:29:40Z | https://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/vaccine-development-in-focus-as-monkeypox-tally-reaches-8-101659463090338-amp.html | true | 2 |

MOMBASA, Kenya (AP) — African officials outlined their priorities for the upcoming U.N. climate summit, including a push to make heavily polluting rich nations compensate poor countries for the environmental damage done to them.
The continent will also focus on how countries can adapt to global warming and how the continent can best halt further climate-related disasters. Africa has seen debilitating droughts in the east and Horn of Africa and deadly cyclones in the south.
Other key areas for discussion include moving from high-carbon energy sources like oil and gas to renewables, and “carbon credit” schemes, where foreign governments and companies pay for tree planting in exchange for producing greenhouse gases.
The U.N. climate conference, known as COP27, will be held in Egypt in November.
How much funding Africa gets is the biggest factor for how prepared it will be for a hotter future, said Harsen Nyambe, the director of sustainable environment at the African Union Commission.
“We recall the $100 billion that was promised has never been fulfilled and current assessments show that even that amount is not enough,” Nyambe said, referring to a 12-year-old pledge by rich nations to provide climate funding for poorer nations.
“Africa must be given adequate time to transition and transform its energy infrastructure. We cannot transform abruptly. We need resources, capacity, technology transfer and finance to power our development,” he added.
A commitment made in the previous international summit in Glasgow to spend half of climate funds on helping developing nations adapt to the effects of a warming world by having infrastructure and agriculture that’s resilient to more volatile weather systems, must be followed through, said Jean-Paul Adam, director of climate change for the U.N.’s Economic Commission for Africa.
He added the continent only received about 7.5% of its promised $70 billion in climate funding between 2014 and 2018.
Africa needs around $3 trillion to fulfill its self-determined emissions targets, known as nationally determined contributions, that each country is required to submit as part of the 2015 Paris agreement on climate, according to U.N. and Africa Development Bank estimates.
More meetings between the continent’s climate leaders are set to follow ahead of COP27.

SEATTLE (AP) — Oregon authorities are investigating four additional deaths potentially linked to last week’s scorching heat wave, bringing the total number of suspected hyperthermia deaths to 14.
The Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office said Monday the designation of heat-related death is preliminary and requires further investigation.
Multnomah County, which is home to Portland, recorded seven deaths suspected to be related to heat, the highest of any Oregon county.
Portland and Seattle set records Sunday for most consecutive days of high temperatures.
In Portland, temperatures on Sunday rose above 95 degrees Fahrenheit (35 Celsius) for the seventh day in a row, a record for the city for consecutive days above that mark. Further north in Seattle, the temperature rose to 91 F (32.8 C) by early afternoon, marking a record six days above 90 F (32.2 C).
Temperatures neared the triple digits nearly all of last week in the Portland area, prompting officials to open emergency overnight shelters and cooling stations.
The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning for both the Portland and Seattle regions lasting through late Sunday evening. Temperatures started to cool off on Monday as colder air from the Pacific blows in.
Climate change is fueling longer heat waves in the Pacific Northwest, a region where weeklong heat spells were historically rare, according to climate experts.
Residents and officials in the Northwest have been trying to adjust to the likely reality of longer, hotter heat waves following last summer’s deadly “heat dome” weather phenomenon that prompted record temperatures and deaths.
About 800 people died in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia during that heat wave, which hit in late June and early July of 2021. The temperature hit an all-time high of 116 F (46.7 C) in Portland.

Imaging Agent of Alzheimer’s Disease, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases
CereMark Pharma to Commence Phase 3 FDA Clinical Study
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, August 2, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CereMark Pharma LLC (“CereMark”) today announced that additional patents have been awarded to the University of California at Los Angeles (‘UCLA”) associated with a unique, selective imaging biomarker, [F-18]FDDNP, for the detection, development and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, and other neurodegenerative diseases. The new patents [#10,626,083B2 in the United States, and #. 3538161 in the European Union] cover a unique method of synthesizing [F-18]FDDNP that provides high radiochemical yields and short manufacturing times for [F-18]FDDNP, ready for human administration.CereMark is UCLA’s exclusive licensee for the development and commercialization of [F-18]FDDNP which is now ready for its single Phase 3 clinical multi-site study required for U.S. approval. [F-18]FDDNP (also known by its USAN-designated name Flornaptitril F-18) is unique because it simultaneously co-images two key pathological neuroproteins (beta amyloid plaque and tau aggregates) that are associated with the development and progression of Alzheimer’s Disease, Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and other neurodegenerative diseases.
Commenting on the announcement, CereMark’s Chief Executive Officer, Henry (“Hank”) Chilton, PharmD, said, “An estimated 5+ million individuals in the United States likely have Alzheimer’s disease, and the prevalence of dementia could triple from 2019-2050. In the world of brain injury, dementia and cognitive-related diseases there is currently no technology that provides for simultaneous co-imaging of beta amyloid plaque and tau aggregates. Co-imaging of these proteins represents a significant step forward in the battle against neurodegeneration and cognitive decline.”
Dr. Chilton then stated that simultaneous co-imaging of the two neuroproteins should provide for better management of these life-debilitating diseases, confirmation of which is currently made only at autopsy. William C. Putnam, PhD, CereMark’s Chief Regulatory Officer joined Dr. Chilton by commenting: “CereMark’s PET imaging agent, [F-18] FDDNP, once approved by the FDA, will be the first PET biomarker to co-image both amyloid plaque and tau aggregates”.

Mom charged with using 15-month-old child to scam people out of money, deputies say
STEWART COUNTY, Tenn. (Gray News) – A woman in Tennessee was arrested Friday for using her 15-month-old child to scam people out of money, officials said.
Shelecia Craig, 31, was arrested and charged with criminal impersonation and driving on a revoked/suspended license.
According to the Stewart County Sheriff’s Office, on multiple occasions, Craig pulled over to the side of the road and pretended to be out of gas. Deputies said she would then carry her 15-month-old child and an empty gas can, pretending to walk to a gas station.
The sheriff’s office said Good Samaritans would quickly stop out of concern for Craig and the child. In most instances, people would get gas for Craig and give her money.
Deputies said when she was finished scamming one person, Craig would then drive to another location and pretend to be out of gas again to scam more people.
Investigators said they found dozens of gas receipts from Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee in Craig’s vehicle. They also found that Craig was driving on a revoked license and had a theft warrant.
The sheriff’s office said more charges are forthcoming. Craig’s child was taken to child services and turned over to family.
Officials thanked the public who brought the scam to their attention on social media.

It’s impossible to predict a meme’s life span. Some last hours, others years. The “Let’s Go Brandon” meme is proving to have staying power.
Now, liberals are trying to co-opt a newer iteration of it, “Dark Brandon.” Though it appears to have originated among conservatives, Dark Brandon has recently been shared by liberals to praise President Joe Biden.
On Monday, the Biden administration announced it killed Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in a drone strike over the weekend, which prompted a flurry of “Dark Brandon” posts praising the president, using the ominious wording to project force.
Let’s Go Brandon began last September after a newscaster mistakenly thought a crowd at a NASCAR race was chanting “Let’s Go Brandon” when in fact they were chanting “Fuck Joe Biden.” Overnight, the former became code for the latter.
It’s not clear precisely who created Dark Brandon or when. The first instance the Daily Dot found of someone using the term “Dark Brandon” to refer to Biden was in November 2021.
Over the following months, Dark Brandon gradually became a meme to disparage the president.
“2024: Dark Brandon vs. Dark MAGA,” wrote one conservative account in March.
Liberals appear to have started co-opting this meme in March. Many versions give Biden the glowing eyes of a superhero—or supervillain, depending on your perspective.
To the chagrin of some of the president’s detractors, Dark Brandon has really picked up steam with Biden supporters in the last month as gas prices have finally ticked down. “Dark Brandon has been coopted by the libs it’s over,” wrote one.
“At some point, Republicans will internally regret starting the Let’s Go Brandon thing because Dark Brandon has taken on a life of its own,” commented @TonyMoonBeam.
Deep-fried Brandon posts filled the timeline when news broke that a drone strike killed al-Zawahiri, a key plotter of the September 11 terrorist attack and Osama bin Laden’s successor. The memes highlighted the fact that Biden is currently quarantined with COVID-19.
“Here for Dark Brandon—kicking ass for his country while isolated with COVID,” wrote one of the news.
Many of the posts praising Biden have upwards of a thousand likes and hundreds of retweets.
Biden supporters are highly amused with themselves for appropriating the meme for their purposes.
“I can’t believe we fucking memed Dark Brandon into existence,” @What46HasDone tweeted.
“If Dems win the midterms we gotta find the guy who made Dark Brandon and make sure he never pays for another drink for the rest of his life,” tweeted a person whose screen name includes “Dark Brandon Supporter.” | https://www.dailydot.com/debug/dark-brandon-memes/ | 2022-08-02T19:40:11Z | https://www.dailydot.com/debug/dark-brandon-memes/ | true | 1 |

Opinion
McGowan and Palmer both made to pay, but the fracas worked in the premier’s favour
Gareth Parker
ColumnistSo, Justice Michael Lee has found that Clive Palmer and Mark McGowan defamed each other.
Well, of course they did.
But that the damage to either’s reputation was so inconsequential as to award each man paltry monetary compensation.
In fact, the premier’s reputation was likely enhanced, Lee found. He used his bully pulpit and formidable political skills to make it so.
The judge didn’t say this, but I will: thrown into the bargain was the creation of the central political argument that saw West Australians deliver Anthony Albanese the Lodge. So, well played, premier.
The judgment defied McGowan’s pre-trial boast that this ludicrous case – brought by the serial litigant Palmer, to be sure – would result in the Queensland billionaire writing the taxpayers of WA “a big cheque”.
Instead, the pair were chastised for wasting the court’s limited time and resources.
“The game was not worth the candle,” Lee said.
“These proceedings have not only involved considerable expenditure by Mr Palmer and the taxpayers of Western Australia, but have also consumed considerable resources of the Commonwealth.
“At a time where public resources devoted to courts are under strain, and judicial resources are stretched, one might think that only a significant interference or attack causing real reputational damage and significant hurt to feelings should be subject of an action for defamation by a political figure.”
The real stakes are for taxpayers remain: the as-yet undetailed and unawarded legal costs. McGowan refused to reveal the total spent on the lawyers’ picnic on Tuesday but promises he will detail it once the matter is finalised at a further hearing on August 11.
A relevant consideration, Lee said, “will be the glaring disproportion between the damages awarded and the extent of legal expense”.
The premier says he respects the court and its decision.
While a man of law, Lee is also an astute political observer.
“Unusually, in this defamation case involving a public figure, whose ‘approval’ was regularly the subject of assessment, there is some apparently cogent, objective material in evidence upon which one can base conclusions as to reputation,” Lee said of the premier.
McGowan was “Mr 89 per cent” and then went on to win 53 of 59 seats in the Legislative Assembly in the 2021 state election, while increasing his majority in his own seat of Rockingham to 37.7 per cent, achieving a swing that made it the safest in the state.
“[T]he evidence establishes the inconsequential impact of the [Palmer] publications on Mr McGowan’s reputation,” Lee said. “Indeed it is more likely that Mr McGowan’s reputation was enhanced.
“As the coverage Mr McGowan celebrated with [Seven West chairman Kerry] Stokes revealed … they provided a common foe against which Mr McGowan could unite West Australians. As Mr McGowan accepted, Mr Palmer was someone with whom Mr McGowan was ‘happy to have a blue with’.”
This was always the primary purpose of the premier’s particular reaction to Palmer’s provocations.
Asked yesterday why he didn’t use parliamentary privilege to launch his attacks, the premier avoided the question.
“I didn’t bring the action, I can’t control what other people do,” was his non-sequitur answer.
Of McGowan’s attorney-general, John Quigley, who set himself on fire in the witness box then got himself a do-over, Lee said: “Regrettably, his evidence was both confused and confusing … During his cross examination, however, Mr Quigley gave contradictory evidence.
“With respect, Mr Quigley’s second appearance in the witness box just added to the brume of his testimony.
“Even though his return was at his request, for the purpose of correcting ‘mistakes’, Mr Quigley misstated his previous evidence he said he wanted to change.
“My comment at the time was that I considered Mr Quigley’s evidence was not dishonest, but was ‘all over the shop’. I adhere to this view.”
Lee rejected the submission of Palmer’s lawyers that Quigley’s evidence should be thrown out for being deceitful and intentionally misleading.
“It is worth stressing that being a confused witness is quite a different thing from being a dishonest one … it appears Mr Quigley had limited time to prepare himself for the giving of evidence.
“Whatever the combination of reasons for Mr Quigley’s confounding testimony, I do not think any are malign. It suffices to note that Mr Quigley was not a reliable historian of events.”
How can the state’s chief law officer give evidence on a matter in which he was so intimately involved that is so unreliable that a Federal Court judge considers it unsafe to rely upon?
We are to believe that Quigley was both the mastermind of the ingenious poison pill strategy – so much so that by his own SMS admission the newly single AG was up at 4am plotting it rather than “making sweet love” – to stymie “the fat man” Palmer, yet also confused, confusing, contradictory and unreliable?
He is the attorney-general, for goodness’ sake. His position is untenable.
Not that he was the only unreliable witness in this case.
Of Palmer, Justice Lee observed the “indefatigable litigant” “carried himself with the unmistakeable aura of a man assured as to the correctness of his own opinions”.
Though he displayed “obvious intelligence” and was “across the relevant detail”, he was “generally a combative and evasive witness who on more than one occasion was unwilling to make obvious concessions”.
Lee has a sense of humour (he would have to).
Of Palmer’s claim he feared for his life after McGowan declared him an “enemy of the state”, his belief the Premier had granted himself “a licence to kill”, the judge said: “to even his most rusted-on partisans, Mr McGowan would be unlikely to have been thought to resemble Ian Fleming’s fictional MI6 character James Bond”.
“Overall, my impression was that Mr Palmer was often willing to fashion his evidence to suit what he perceived to be best for his case,” Lee concluded.
“After reflecting upon his evidence generally, I reject the submission that Mr Palmer ‘maintained his equanimity’ and made ‘concessions where appropriate’. I do not consider it safe to place any significant reliance upon Mr Palmer’s evidence.”
McGowan did not bring this case, it is true, but the bottom line is this has been a monumental waste of everyone’s time and money.
Imprudent commentary outside the absolute protection of parliamentary privilege inflamed the defamation risk as part of a political strategy that paid astonishing dividends in a time of general fear and loathing.
Next week, we will discover the sum of the bill that is due. | https://www.smh.com.au/national/mcgowan-and-palmer-both-made-to-pay-but-the-fracas-worked-in-the-premier-s-favour-20220802-p5b6qc.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_national | 2022-08-02T19:44:58Z | https://www.smh.com.au/national/mcgowan-and-palmer-both-made-to-pay-but-the-fracas-worked-in-the-premier-s-favour-20220802-p5b6qc.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_national | false | 6 |

TORONTO, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - SoftwareReviews, a leading source for insights on the software provider landscape, has published its 2022 Project Portfolio Management Emotional Footprint, naming six providers in the Enterprise and Midmarket spaces as Champions.
Project portfolio management (PPM) software helps to optimize an organization's project portfolios, collecting and consolidating data across multiple projects to assist in managing risks, resources, and timelines. In 2022, organizations are seeking adaptive portfolio management models highly focused on the product versus the project delivery method. This adaptive PPM model allows businesses to change directions per business needs to gain the most business value.
"Portfolio managers and project management offices (PMO) often lack the resources required to operate a commercial grade PPM tool," says Long Dam, principal research director at Info-Tech Research Group and PPM category analyst. "The complexity of the software is compounded when the IT department does not have adequate PPM subject matter knowledge."
For a seamless, agile delivery process, managers are also seeking software integrations that provide an efficient, easy-to-use, comprehensive solution, such as being able to access Jira, Microsoft Excel, Gantt charts, and email all in one place.
"PPM solutions that are intuitively simple to use and maintain will typically fare better with users," adds Dam. "Organizations are now seeking more simplistic solutions to avoid the additional overhead burden along with reducing the inherent risks of highly complex solutions."
To support organizations searching for the right project portfolio management software for their unique needs, SoftwareReviews has identified the top PPM software providers for the year based on verified survey data collected from 874 end-user reviews. These providers have received high scores on SoftwareReviews' Emotional Footprint.
The Net Emotional Footprint (NEF) of each software provider is a result of aggregated emotional response ratings across the areas of service, negotiation, product impact, conflict resolution, strategy, and innovation. The NEF is a powerful indicator of overall user sentiment toward the provider and its product from the software user's point of view.
The 2022 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management Software Champions are as follows:
- Planisware Enterprise, 98 NEF, ranked high for being respectful.
- TeamDynamix PPM, 95 NEF, ranked high for being reliable.
- Planview PPM Suite, 93 NEF, ranked high for saving time.
The 2022 Midmarket Project Portfolio Management Software Champions are as follows:
- Accelo PPM, 99 NEF, ranked high for putting clients' interests first.
- Scoro, 100 NEF, ranked high for over-delivering.
- LiquidPlanner, 99 NEF, ranked high for being efficient.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian officials say they are struggling to establish the truth surrounding an explosion in a prison that killed dozens of Ukrainian prisoners of war captured by the Russians following the fall of Mariupol.
Ukraine’s human rights chief, Dmytro Lubinets, told The Associated Press he has tried to establish a direct link with his Russian counterpart in order to arrange a joint visit to the prison in Olenivka, a town in eastern Ukraine held by Russian-backed separatists.
“Dialogue is when there is a conversation between two parties. At this moment, this is an official request from me, which remains unanswered,” Lubinets said.
Separatist authorities and Russian officials say 53 Ukrainian POWs were killed and a further 75 were wounded Friday in the blast that ripped through a building at the prison. Both sides have blamed the other for the attack, saying it was premeditated with the aim of covering up atrocities.
Moscow opened a probe, sending a team to the site from its Investigative Committee, the country’s main criminal investigation agency. The state-run RIA Novosti agency claimed that fragments of U.S.-supplied precision High Mobility Artillery Rocket System rockets were found at the site.
The Ukrainian military, however, denied conducting any rocket or artillery strikes in Olenivka, and it accused the Russians of attacking the prison to cover up the torture and execution of Ukrainians there.
“Based on the analysis of the photos and videos that we have access to, we can say that it was an explosion from the inside of this barrack,” Lubinets said.
He said images from the scene show damage to only one building and not all the windows were blown out — something he says would not be possible if the complex was shelled.
Ukraine has appealed to the United Nations and to the International Committee of the Red Cross for help in investigating the blast and to find out more about the condition of the injured.
ICRC spokesman Oleksandr Vlasenko told the AP that the organization was currently negotiating with the Russians regarding visiting Olenivka. ICRC staff want to see everyone held there, make sure those wounded in the blast get proper medical treatment, and look at the bodies of the dead.
Russian officials on Saturday issued a list of the Ukrainian soldiers they said who had been killed or wounded in the attack, but the Ukrainians say they have been unable to verify the list while there is no access for the ICRC.
More than 2,400 soldiers from the Azov Regiment of the Ukrainian national guard and other military units defending the city of Mariupol surrendered under orders from Ukraine’s military in May.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has called upon the U.N. and the Red Cross, which acted as guarantors during the withdrawal of the Ukrainian military from the giant Azovstal steel mill in Mariupol, to preserve the lives of Ukrainian prisoners of war.
Olena Tolkachova, who is in charge of support services for the Azov Regiment, said she had received little information about the fate of the captured soldiers.
“According to the terms (of the withdrawal), the International Committee of the Red Cross had to visit our POWs every week and check the conditions of our soldiers. They were supposed to provide contact with relatives,” she said.
She said she believed the ICRC had only visited the prison once and she only discovered this from the Russian media. The support service is in touch with the ICRC seeking information about those who were killed or wounded in Olenivka.
“They do not give specific answers. They cannot explain to us why they cannot get there,” Tolkachova said, adding that relatives are desperate to know what happened to their loved ones and are calling every number they can find for any shred of information.
Vlasenko of the Red Cross said negotiations with the Russians are delicate.
“Any leak of information can be harmful. We inform about our actions only when they have taken place,” he added.
Russia’s Supreme Court on Tuesday declared Ukraine’s Azov Regiment a terrorist organization, a designation that could lead to terror charges against some of the captured fighters. Tolkachova said up to 1,000 soldiers from the Azov Regiment alone are currently in Russian captivity and the attack at Olenivka has raised concerns that no one can guarantee their safety.
“They were simply blown up. And this public execution, which was shown all over the world, isn’t that enough for the world to understand that they are in mortal danger?” Tolkachova said.
Lubinets hoped that at least the process of returning the bodies of those killed in Olenivka will begin soon.
“I can only hope that the principles of humanitarian law remain among the Russian Federation’s leaders,” Lubinets said.

Chick-fil-A reveals menu hacks to upgrade your order
Chick-fil-A is adamant that it doesn’t have a secret menu – but the fast food chain recently gave fans a list of suggestions for taking their orders to the next level.
Last week, the chain published an article that explained, "Chick-fil-A does not have a secret menu. No cookie crumble coffee. No chicken quesadillas. No grilled cheese sandwiches. No fried pickles."
Some Chick-fil-A locations do occasionally offer special items such as packets of guacamole and special cheese sauce, the chain said in the article.
Locations in Texas and Arizona even offer jalapeños, while chicken gravy is on offer at 30 locations in West Virginia, Missouri and Kentucky, according to Chick-fil-A.

Plus, fans can customize their orders by adding or removing different ingredients on some menu items.
CHICK-FIL-A IS AMERICA’S FAVORITE RESTAURANT FOR 8TH YEAR IN A ROW
Aside from those customizations, Chick-fil-A employees aren’t allowed to prepare food that’s not on the menu, the company said.
That doesn’t mean customers can’t make their own dishes using items that already exist on the Chick-fil-A menu.
CHICK-FIL-A BREAKFAST: WHAT TIME DOES IT END?

Below is a list of suggestions from Chick-fil-A on how fans can make their own not-so-secret menu items.
Buffalo Chicken Mac & Cheese
Chick-fil-A suggests ordering either nuggets or grilled nuggets along with mac & cheese, buffalo sauce and ranch sauce. Then, fans should combine all the ingredients – after chopping up the nuggets – right in the mac & cheese container.
Cookie Icedream Sandwich
To make this dessert, customers should order a cup of Chick-fil-A’s Icedream dessert and two Chocolate Chunk cookies and sandwich the frozen dessert between the cookies.
Icedream Fruit Cup
Another easy menu "hack" is the Icedream Fruit Cup, which can be combined using a side order of fruit and an Icedream cup from the dessert menu.
Chick-n-Minis Masterpiece
Chick-fil-A recommends taking its mini chicken rolls to the next level using hash browns. Customers can make this "masterpiece" by dipping a hash brown in their favorite sauce and placing the hash brown in the Chick-n-Mini roll, on top of the chicken bites.
Double Cookie Milkshake
Customers who order a Chick-fil-A Cookies & Cream Milkshake can double their dessert with a Chocolate Chunk Cookie, which then can crumble and mix into their milkshake, Chick-fil-A recommends. | https://www.fox26houston.com/news/chick-fil-a-secret-menu-hacks | 2022-08-02T19:54:53Z | https://www.fox26houston.com/news/chick-fil-a-secret-menu-hacks | true | 13 |
San Diego Padres have tentative deal in place to acquire Juan Soto, per reports
The San Diego Padres are close to acquiring superstar outfielder Juan Soto from the Washington Nationals on Tuesday in one of baseball's biggest deals at the trade deadline, vaulting their postseason chances by adding one of the game's best young hitters.
A person with direct knowledge of the move told The Associated Press the Padres and Nationals have agreed to a multiplayer deal contingent on San Diego first baseman Eric Hosmer waiving his no-trade provision. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because negotiations were ongoing.
Hosmer agreed to a $144 million, eight-year deal with San Diego before the 2018 season. He is owed about $7 million for the rest of this season and $13 million annually from 2023-25.
If the deal is completed, the Padres also would receive first baseman Josh Bell along with Soto, a generational talent who turns 24 in late October when they hope to still be playing for a title. The Nationals would get Hosmer, left-hander MacKenzie Gore and prospects James Wood, C.J. Abrams, Robert Hassell III and Jarlin Susana.
After contributing to the Nationals’ first championship in franchise history in 2019, Soto hit .351 in 2020 to win the NL batting title. He has been walked more than any other player in major league baseball over the past two seasons.
The package of prospects going to Washington is one of the most touted groups ever involved in one deal. The 20-year-old Hassell, the No. 8 overall pick in the 2020 amateur draft, hit an RBI single in last month’s All-Star Futures Game. Wood, a 19-year-old outfielder and second-round selection in last year's draft, is batting .321 with 10 homers and 45 RBIs for Class-A Lake Elsinore.
Washington general manager Mike Rizzo set a lofty asking price last month after reports emerged that Soto turned down the team’s latest contract offer of $440 million over 15 years.
Soto remains under team control for two more seasons after this one, which made it no sure thing the Nationals would trade him now. The Padres getting him for potentially three playoff runs even absent a new deal made this the peak of Soto’s value.
That uncertainty began weighing on Soto, who said after Sunday’s game against St. Louis: “I just want to get it over with and see what’s going to happen. Start over here or wherever I’m at.”
It looks as if he’ll be starting over in San Diego in the midst of his second All-Star season, part of a loaded lineup that also includes All-Star Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. when the shortstop returns from a broken left wrist.
With little protection around him in Washington’s lineup, Soto hit .246 with 20 home runs and 45 RBIs and 91 walks in 101 games.
In 2,435 plate appearances since making his Nationals debut in 2018, Soto is batting .291 with 118 home runs and 357 RBIs. He’s only a couple of years removed from slugging .695 with a 1.185 OPS and .490 on-base percentage — all NL bests.
It looks as if Soto will become the latest Nationals player to be traded as part of the organization’s long-term rebuild and with ownership looking to sell the team. Rizzo traded shortstop Trea Turner, ace Max Scherzer, power hitter Kyle Schwarber and five others at the deadline last year, and Washington has let Bryce Harper, Anthony Rendon and others move on in free agency.
The Nationals made their first deadline move Monday, trading utility player Ehire Adrianza to the Atlanta Braves for 26-year-old outfield prospect Trey Harris.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Leasing for new oil and gas drilling on federal land in central California is temporarily blocked under a settlement announced Monday between the state and the U.S. Bureau of Land Management.
The deal, which still needs court approval, centers on more than 2,500 square miles (6,475 square kilometers) of land and subsurface mineral rights owned by the federal government in California’s Central Valley, a hub for oil and gas activity. It prohibits the federal government from leasing any of the land for drilling until it completes a fresh review of environmental harms that may be caused by fracking, a process used to extract oil and gas from rock.
“Fracking is dangerous for our communities, damaging to our environment, and out of step with California’s climate goals,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement announcing the settlement.
The dispute over federal drilling activity on the land began in 2014, when the Obama administration wanted to lease the land. Environmental groups sued, arguing the plan failed to assess environmental harms. In 2017, the bureau agreed to provide additional environmental review, according to the settlement.
Later, the Trump administration moved forward with the 2014 plan without substantial changes, the settlement said. The environmental groups sued again and so did the state of California, arguing that the federal government failed to evaluate how fracking would affect water, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, recreational use of the lands, seismic impacts and more.
Fracking is the process of injecting a high-pressure mix of mostly water with some sand and chemical additives into rock to create or expand fractures that allow oil and gas to be extracted. It’s a controversial practice due to concerns about the injected chemicals contaminating groundwater.
The settlement puts a moratorium on any sales of oil and gas leases on federal land around Bakersfield until the appropriate environmental reviews are completed.
The Biden administration tried to suspend sales of leases for oil and gas drilling on federal land but was blocked by a court. The first auctions for onshore leasing since Biden took office began at the end of June. The available land covered about 225 square miles (580) square kilometers in mostly Western states, but none in California.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has called for a ban on new fracking permits on state-permitted land starting in 2024. Fracking accounts for just a small percentage of oil production in the state. Newsom’s administration has already begun denying fracking permits solely based on climate change concerns, prompting oil and gas groups to sue.
Kevin Slagle, a spokesman for the Western States Petroleum Association, said decisions that make it harder to produce energy in California will cause prices to rise.
“It’s unfortunate that President Biden travels the world asking other countries to increase production while our governor is working hard to eliminate domestic resources,” he said in a statement. | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/u-s-world/settlement-blocks-new-federal-fracking-leases-in-california/ | 2022-08-02T19:57:31Z | https://www.wvnstv.com/news/u-s-world/settlement-blocks-new-federal-fracking-leases-in-california/ | false | 34 |
LONDON (AP) — Britain’s Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to prevent a hospital withdrawing life support from a 12-year-old boy with catastrophic brain damage, rejecting a bid by his parents to extend his treatment.
The parents of Archie Battersbee had aske Supreme Court justices to block a lower court’s ruling that the Royal London Hospital can turn off the boy’s ventilator and stop other interventions that are keeping him alive.
Archie’s treatment had been due to end at noon Tuesday, but the hospital said it would await the decision of the Supreme Court.
Justices at the U.K.’s top court said Archie had “no prospect of any meaningful recovery,” and even with continued treatment would die in the next few weeks from organ and heart failure. The judges agreed with a lower court that continuing treatment “serves only to protract his death.”
Archie’s mother, Hollie Dance, said the family would “fight until the end,” but it was unclear what legal options they have left.
Archie was found unconscious at home with a ligature over his head on April 7. His parents believe he may have been taking part in an online challenge that went wrong.
Doctors believe Archie is brain-stem dead and say continued life-support treatment is not in his best interests. Several British courts have agreed.
The family appealed to the U.N. Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and wanted the withdrawal of treatment put on hold while the committee examines the case.
“We do not understand what the rush is and why all of our wishes are being denied,” Dance said.
The case is the latest in the U.K. that has pitted the judgment of doctors against the wishes of families. In several cases, including this one, the families have been backed by a religious pressure group, Christian Concern.
Under British law, it is common for courts to intervene when parents and doctors disagree on the treatment of a child. In such cases, the rights of the child take primacy over the parents’ right to decide what’s best for their offspring.
On Monday, the Court of Appeal said that “every day that (Archie) continues to be given life-sustaining treatment is contrary to his best interests and, so, a stay, even for a short time, is against his best interests.”
A panel of three Supreme Court judges said it could only overturn that ruling “if it is satisfied that the Court of Appeal has made an error of law or principle.” It said it “is not persuaded that there is an arguable case that the Court of Appeal has so erred.”
“The panel reaches this conclusion with a heavy heart and wishes to extend its deep sympathy to Archie’s parents at this very sad time,” the court said. | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/health-news/family-asks-uks-top-court-to-intervene-in-life-support-case/ | 2022-08-02T19:59:19Z | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/health-news/family-asks-uks-top-court-to-intervene-in-life-support-case/ | true | 39 |
Fresh wave of federal funds available to address critical threats
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Sea level rise, water quality and habitat protection are among the issues addressed in the 2022 San Francisco Estuary Blueprint released by the San Francisco Estuary Partnership, mapping how San Francisco Bay and the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta will be managed over the next five years.
"The Estuary faces immense challenges, but we have remedies in the Blueprint and a serendipitous confluence of funding that can begin to implement solutions," said Caitlin Sweeney, Director of the Partnership, a collaboration of local, state, and federal agencies, nongovernmental organizations, academia and business leaders working to protect and restore the San Francisco Estuary. "We are at an exciting juncture where we can really make a difference in the health of the Estuary moving forward. It's a very exciting time for the region."
Release of the Blueprint coincides with unprecedented federal funding approved over the past year to support the San Francisco Estuary. This includes $24 million from the omnibus spending bill signed into law in March plus a total of $29 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law enacted in November 2021, including $5 million allocated directly to the Estuary Partnership over the next five years to begin implementing the Blueprint. Additionally, the Bay Area's 2016 voter-approved Measure AA dedicates $25 million annually to fund multi-benefit shoreline projects that protect and restore San Francisco Bay.
The Blueprint emphasizes the connection between the lower and upper Estuary, recognizing that nature does not see the Bay and Delta as distinct entities, but rather as a holistic, integrated system forming a single estuary. The report also underscores the need for equity in work on the Estuary — the largest in western North America — while addressing resilience at the nexus of the social and ecological sciences. Among the regional takeaways in the Blueprint:
- South Bay: Millions of tons of sediment will be needed in the coming years to restore and retain tidal marshes at the edge of the Bay. Tidal marshes can soak up the effects of sea level rise to protect the billions of dollars of business infrastructure in the South Bay.
- East Bay: The East Bay's tributary streams form essential pathways for wildlife, sediment, and freshwater flows to reach the Bay. The Blueprint focuses on restoring the connections between creeks — such as Walnut Creek — and the shoreline, as well as rejuvenating channelized creek corridors — such as San Leandro Creek — to provide recreation and green space in neighborhoods that need amenities.
- San Francisco: As drought has taken hold, the Blueprint supports strategies that will stretch water supplies further, including maximizing the use of recycled water when available, while ensuring fresh water continues to flow in streams and rivers for fish and wildlife habitat and cultural uses.
- North Bay: The Blueprint looks at the regulatory and administrative hurdles facing complex multi-benefit shoreline adaptation projects like Highway 37 with tasks to advance climate adaptation. These include the creation of a technical assistance "help desk" network for cities, counties, and others as well as the alignment of FEMA hazard planning with climate adaptation planning.
To bring full health back to the Estuary, the Blueprint proposes an ambitious combination of solutions, including moving sediment, restoring creeks, recycling water, removing invasive species, monitoring conditions, among other steps. The full plan and its recommended actions can be viewed at: https://www.sfestuary.org/estuary-blueprint/. A Blueprint video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tgp6r2F4CW8.
Hosted by the Association of Bay Area Governments, the San Francisco Estuary Partnership was established in 1988 by the State of California and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Water Act's National Estuary Program and is required to develop a management plan.

Members of the far-right Oath Keepers' extremist group charged in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol will face jurors this fall after a judge on Tuesday denied defense attorneys' bid to delay the high-profile trial until next year.
Lawyers for Stewart Rhodes, the leader of the Oath Keepers, and other associates of the antigovernment group argued a trial beginning in September would be tainted by publicity surrounding recent Jan. 6 House committee hearings and that attorneys still have too much evidence to sort through.
But U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta said he is confident the court will find a fair jury for the Oath Keepers’ case in Washington next month and that he’s obligated to oversee a speedy trial for the defendants, who have been locked up for months. Moving the trial would also “wreak havoc” on the court's calendar, which is filled with trials into next year, he said.
“This is a court of law, we cannot wait on the legislative process to unfold,” Mehta said.
Rhodes and four co-defendants are heading to trial on Sept. 26 on charges including seditious conspiracy, a rarely used Civil War-era charge that calls for up to 20 years in prison. They are accused of plotting for weeks to block the peaceful transfer of power and keep President Donald Trump in office.
Defense attorneys have argued there was no plan to storm the Capitol and that any plans they made were only about providing security at the rally before the riot or protect themselves against possible attacks from far-left activists.
Mehta suggested Tuesday that he believes the defense has a strong case, saying he didn't believe it was a “laydown" case for prosecutors and he's "not sure jurors in the District of Columbia will either."
A different judge overseeing the other major case stemming from the Jan. 6 riot — involving members of the Proud Boys extremist group — agreed to postpone the start of that trial from Aug. 8 to Dec. 12 after attorneys for several of the men argued that their clients couldn't get a fair trial in the midst of the committee's hearings. The committee has said it's public hearings will resume in September.
In a separate matter on Tuesday, Mehta rejected Trump’s request to dismiss lawsuits filed by four Capitol police officers seeking damages arising from injuries they sustained while defending the Capitol from the violent mob.
Mehta cited an earlier February ruling denying Trump's bid to dismiss other lawsuits filed by lawmakers and two Capitol police officers. In that ruling, Mehta said Trump's words during a rally before the storming of the Capitol were likely "words of incitement not protected by the First Amendment."
“Only in the most extraordinary circumstances could a court not recognize that the First Amendment protects a President’s speech,” Mehta wrote at the time. “But the court believes this is that case.”
Trump's lawyers are appealing that ruling, saying in court papers filed last week that the Supreme Court has “made clear that when acting in his official capacity, a President of the United States is immune from civil suit.” | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/judge-wont-delay-oath-keepers-trial-over-jan-6-hearings/6YBK76CHVZHRDIXIUIK6X5HPDA/ | 2022-08-02T20:05:50Z | https://www.journal-news.com/nation-world/judge-wont-delay-oath-keepers-trial-over-jan-6-hearings/6YBK76CHVZHRDIXIUIK6X5HPDA/ | true | 45 |

- Demi Lovato said she is using she/her pronouns again.
- She said she has been feeling more feminine lately, which prompted her to make the change.
- Lovato had been using they/them pronouns since May 2021 when she announced she is nonbinary.
Demi Lovato is using she/her pronouns again.
In an appearance on the Spout podcast, host Tamara Dhia admitted to Lovato that she still doesn't "quite understand" they/them pronouns. The pop star had been exclusively using they/them pronouns since May 2021, when she publicly came out as gender nonbinary.
"Yeah, so, they/them is, um, I've actually adopted the pronouns of she/her again," Lovato said. "So, for me, I'm such a fluid person. I felt like, especially last year, my energy was balanced in my masculine and feminine energy so that when I was faced with the choice of walking into a bathroom and it said 'women' and 'men,' I didn't feel like there was a bathroom for me because I didn't feel necessarily like a woman. I didn't feel like a man."
"I just felt like a human. And that's what they/them is about for me. It's just about, like, feeling human at your core," she continued.
Lovato said that recently she has been feeling more feminine again, which prompted her to make the shift back to she/her pronouns.
"I think what's important is nobody's perfect," Lovato said. "Everyone messes up pronouns at some point, and especially when people are learning. It's just all about respect."
Indeed, Lovato previously told fans that she is not offended by getting misgendered as long as the person is making an effort to learn.
"I accidentally misgender myself sometimes! It's a huge transition to change the pronouns I've used for myself my entire life," she shared on social media last July. "It's all about your intention. It's important to me that you try, but if you make a mistake, it's okay."
As of Tuesday, Lovato's Instagram bio was updated to reflect her new pronoun preferences. It now reads "they/them/she/her."
The "Substance" singer has spoken several times about her evolving approach to both gender and sexuality. She previously came out as pansexual during an episode of Joe Rogan's podcast in March 2021.
"I'm so fluid now, and a part of the reason why I am so fluid is because I was, like, super closeted off," Lovato said.
When Rogan asked whether Lovato liked women or men, sjhe replied: "Yeah, anything, really."
She has also said that she feels "too queer" to be romantic or sexual with a cisgender man, shortly after calling off her two-month engagement to actor Max Ehrich.
"This past year I was engaged to a man, and when it didn't work, I was like, 'This is a huge sign.' I thought I was going to spend my life with someone. Now that I wasn't going to, I felt this sense of relief that I could live my truth," she told Glamour last year.
"I'm very much listening to my intuition, and that's not to say my boundaries or my guard is up," she added. "It's just saying my ears are perked a little higher and my eyes are open a little wider." | https://www.insider.com/demi-lovato-using-she-her-pronouns-again-they-them-2022-8 | 2022-08-02T20:08:04Z | https://www.insider.com/demi-lovato-using-she-her-pronouns-again-they-them-2022-8 | false | 1 |

Woolworths is focusing in on office kitchens across the country as part of the launch of its grocery delivery platform aimed solely at business clients.
The supermarket giant first trialled its “Woolworths at Work” site in 2020 — when most professional services firms were working from home. Despite this, the retailer was able to test and refine the program by delivering to essential services operators.
“A really big part of our focus is essential service businesses - early learning businesses and aged care. They were our core customers that we helped serve,” Woolworths at Work general manager Jarad Nass said.
Now lockdowns are in the rearview mirror, Woolworths hopes to take a slice of Australia’s business supplies market by offering one platform for cleaning products, office supplies and groceries for corporate clients.
Unlike users on Woolworths’ main retail site, business customers have access to real-time spend reports and billing information, free next-day delivery for orders over $99 and more options to get products delivered on Monday mornings.
While Australia’s winter COVID-19 and flu season have led to renewed calls for more staff to work at home, Nass is confident there is still strong interest from workplaces for a one-stop shop for office supplies and groceries.
”What we’ve learned is that it is a very dynamic working environment at the moment, [but] there is still a lot of demand for this service,” Nass said.
Beyond office towers, Woolworths is largely focused on organisations such as schools, hospitals and aged-care facilities, which have been the main sectors using the platform.
The retailer has been working to increase business-to-business sales over the past year. Its B2B food segment, which includes PFD Food Services, its international exports and wholesale business, generated $1.4 billion in sales in the first half of 2022 - an increase of 376 per cent on the same period in 2021.
Woolworths at Work isn’t the first new grocery delivery format Woolworths has tried this year. It also launched one-hour deliveries in a small group of Sydney suburbs via its Metro60 app in June.
Fellow supermarket giant Coles also has a dedicated business delivery channel, with free delivery on orders worth more than $250.
The Reserve Bank of Australia raised the official cash rate another 50 basis points of Tuesday, putting further pressure on the operating costs of households and businesses.
Despite this, analysts have been viewing the outlook for supermarkets as robust, given businesses and individuals will likely be spending a larger portion of their budgets on everyday essentials rather than luxuries.
Citi analysts have upgraded their 2023 earnings estimates for Woolworths by 3 per cent and Coles by 4 per cent, given expectations that inflation will increase like-for-like sales growth figures over the next year.
Woolworths shares are 7.3 per cent higher for the month, while Coles is trading 7.2 per cent higher compared with the beginning of July.

Ketanji Brown Jackson gets a bobblehead
( The Hill ) – Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson can add another distinct honor to her résumé: she’s the inspiration for a new bobblehead.
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum announced Friday that Jackson, the first Black woman to serve on the Supreme Court, is being immortalized in bobblehead form.
The Milwaukee-based museum is selling $30 figures that show a smiling mini version of Jackson standing tall in her judge’s robe in front of a replica of the Supreme Court. The seven inch, limited-edition bobbleheads are poised to ship in September.
“When the Senate voted to confirm Ketanji Brown Jackson, history was made,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame co-founder Phil Sklar said in a statement announcing the launch, following the 51-year-old former federal public defender’s April confirmation.
“We celebrate the momentous day in the 233-year history of the Supreme Court,” Sklar said.
In addition to the Jackson bobblehead, the Hall of Fame is also releasing collectibles of 16 other current and former Supreme Court justices.
Bobbleheads of justices including Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, Clarence Thomas and Brett Kavanaugh, and the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Thurgood Marshall, among others, will be available for pre-order on Friday and are expected to ship in December.
The release comes at a sticky time for the court — a Gallup poll conducted in June, just before the Roe v. Wade decision on abortion rights was overturned, found that only a quarter of Americans have confidence in the Supreme Court.
Sklar said the brigade of bobbleheads gives the public “the chance to collect bobbleheads representing the Supreme Court justices that have a very influential impact on our lives given their roles in our government and the impact their decisions have.”

DUBAI: India will start its campaign against arch-rival Pakistan in the Asia Cup T20 here on August 28, Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president Jay Shah announced on Tuesday.
The team that India will choose for the Asia Cup will effectively be the core group which will compete in the T20 World Cup in Australia unless there are injury-related pull-outs. BCCI secretary Shah, who also heads the continental body, released the fixture of the tournament, which was shifted out of Sri Lanka due to prevailing political and economic crisis in the island nation.
Group A will comprise India, Pakistan and a Qualifier (yet to be decided) while group B has Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. The Indo-Pak matches are the main attraction of the tournament and expectedly, the ACC has ensured at least two such games. If the two teams reach the final, it will extend to three matches.
Groups: A: India, Pakistan, Qualifier (TBD) B: Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan
Fixtures: Aug 27: Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan (Dubai) Aug 28: India vs Pakistan (Dubai) Aug 30: Bangladesh vs Afghanistan (Sharjah) Aug 31: India vs Qualifier (Dubai) Sep 1: Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh (Dubai) Sep 2: Pakistan vs Qualifier (Sharjah)

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky's two abortion clinics filed a quick appeal Tuesday aimed at restoring abortion services in the state, a day after an appellate judge reinstated a near-total statewide abortion ban.
The clinics, both in Louisville, asked the Kentucky Supreme Court to vacate the ruling issued Monday evening by a judge on the state's intermediate Court of Appeals.
That ruling meant most abortions are illegal in the state, for now.
In their motion to the Supreme Court, the clinics said that ruling had “upended 50 years of the status quo" by essentially halting abortion access in Kentucky. As a result, women previously scheduled to receive abortions are now being turned away, the filing said.
“The challenged bans have eliminated access to abortion in Kentucky and they are imposing irreparable harm on plaintiffs and their patients in a variety of ways, including by forcing Kentuckians to remain pregnant, and eventually give birth, against their will,” the motion said.
Both sides had expected the case to ultimately end up before the state's Supreme Court.
On Monday, the Court of Appeals judge granted an emergency request from Republican Attorney General Daniel Cameron to reinstate the two laws banning nearly all abortions in the state. The order was to remain in place while the appeals court appoints a three-judge panel to hear the case. The two laws had been put on hold last month by a lower court judge in Louisville, prompting Cameron's appeal.
In a social media post Monday evening, Cameron said he appreciated the appellate judge's decision to allow the two laws to take effect “while we continue to vigorously defend the constitutionality of these important protections for women and unborn children across the commonwealth.” Cameron's office did not immediately respond to the appeal filed Tuesday.
Kentucky’s trigger law was meant to ban abortions as soon as the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in late June. The Kentucky law contains a narrow exception allowing a physician to perform an abortion if necessary to prevent the death or permanent injury of the pregnant woman.
Kentucky lawmakers also passed a separate six-week ban that the clinics are challenging. | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Kentucky-clinics-appeal-court-order-that-17346174.php | 2022-08-02T20:17:00Z | https://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Kentucky-clinics-appeal-court-order-that-17346174.php | false | 13 |
Regarding the letter "It takes a lousy teammate to selfishly refuse vaccination" (July 29): I'm assuming that the letter writer, along with other similar letter writers, are themselves vaccinated. Are they also quarantining themselves in their homes? Barring complete isolation by all, everyone is playing a role in spreading the virus.
They mistakenly believe only the unvaccinated can spread the virus, but that's not the case. I am double-vaccinated and boosted. but yet I can still get the virus and spread it. It has also been well documented that the more significant danger of hospitalization or even death is to the unvaccinated, not the vaccinated. As such, both ball players made a personal decision to take that risk as to their own personal well-being. People don’t have to agree with their decision, but it doesn’t make them horrible people. By all appearances. the opposite appears true.
People are also reading…
The virus will be with us in some variation or another going forward. Those people who are going to get vaccinated have already done it. Those people who have not are not likely to do so in the future. Attempts at shaming will not change that fact.

Unsealed Depp v. Heard court docs reveal ‘Aquaman’ actress was 'exotic dancer'
Newly unsealed court papers reveal that Amber Heard had a "brief stint as an exotic dancer," and her ex-husband Johnny Depp did not want his friendship with disgraced rocker Marilyn Manson outed at trial.
After Johnny Depp won his defamation case against Amber Heard with a jury awarding him $10.35 million, Judge Penney Azcarate ordered the release of the secret documents on July 13.
The documents were published online over the weekend by legal commentator Andrea Burkhart, who crowd-sourced more than $3,300 to purchase the records.
The court papers detail the behind-the-scenes wrangling on both sides to try to get evidence admitted and kept out of the Fairfax County Circuit trial in Virginia.
A March 22 motion outlined Heard’s opposition to Depp’s team’s attempt to present damaging information about her past to the jury.
Heard's lawyer Elaine Bredehoft argued that Depp was trying to introduce "irrelevant personal matters" – including "Amber’s brief stint as an exotic dancer years before she met Mr. Depp," nude pictures of her and "unfounded allegations" that she had worked as a sex worker.
"Nude pictures of Amber Heard or comments about stripping or escort services would be highly distracting and unfairly prejudicial to the extent they portray Amber Heard as a sex symbol instead of a women's rights activist against domestic abuse," Bredehoft wrote.

Heard’s team also fought to keep out Heard's sister Whitney Henriquez's "reality show video." None of these "personal matters" were introduced at trial.
A 965-page motion filed March 28 also revealed crude text messages between Depp and Marilyn Manson that were never presented to the jury.
Depp’s attorney, Ben Chew, aggressively fought to exclude any references to the actor's friendship with Manson, whose real names is Brian Warner, out of concern it would "smear Mr. Depp under a guilty by association theory."
Manson texted Depp in 2016 to say that Lindsay Usich "pulled an Amber," in reference to Manson's now-wife Usich calling the cops on him and claiming he beat her up. He described her as "Amber 2.0."
Depp responded, "I've been reading A LOT of material on that and sociopathic behavior…it is f—king real my brother!! My ex-c—-t is goddamn TEXTBOOK!!!."
Manson was blacklisted in the music industry after a number of women accused him of physical, mental and sexual abuse — including his former fiancé "Westworld" actress Evan Rachel Wood. He sued her for defamation in March.
Although the vulgar texts did not come in during the trial, Manson’s name did repeatedly crop up with the "Aquaman" actress' team painting her then-husband as a drug addict who went on cocaine-fueled binges with the heavy metal rocker.
After the six-week trial, the seven-member panel found that Heard had defamed Depp by penning a Washington Post op-ed referring to herself as a victim of domestic abuse and awarded him $10 million in compensatory damages and $5 million in punitive. The judge reduced the punitive damages award to $350,000 – the maximum allowed under Virginia law.
The jury awarded Heard $2 million in her countersuit, finding in her favor on a single claim that Depp’s attorney Adam Waldman had defamed her in a statement to the press calling her allegations a "hoax."

WASHINGTON (AP) — 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 virus may cause fever, body aches, chills, fatigue and pimple-like bumps on many parts of the body.
The U.S. saw its first case of the monkeypox virus confirmed on May 18 and now has over 5,800 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. Clinics in major cities like New York and San Francisco say they haven’t received enough of the two-shot vaccine to meet demand and some have had to stop offering the second dose of the vaccine to ensure supply of first doses. 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 Daskalakis as we work to end the monkeypox outbreak in America,” Becerra said 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.”
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday: “The seriousness of the monkeypox outbreak calls for an experienced and tested leader in emergency response, so it’s no surprise President Biden has tapped Bob Fenton for this vital role. Bob has been a critical partner for California, especially during devastating wildfires and throughout the COVID pandemic.”

US sues Idaho over state's abortion restrictions in first post-Dobbs lawsuit
The Justice Department on Tuesday filed a lawsuit that challenges Idaho’s restrictive abortion law, arguing that it conflicts with a federal law requiring doctors to provide pregnant women medically necessary treatment that could include abortion.
The federal government brought the lawsuit seeking to invalidate the state’s "criminal prohibition on providing abortions as applied to women suffering medical emergencies," Attorney General Merrick Garland said.
The announcement is the first major action by the Justice Department challenging a state trigger law since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June. The court’s decision has led some states to enact restrictive abortion laws and is likely to lead to abortion bans in roughly half the states in the U.S.
The Justice Department brought the suit because federal prosecutors believe Idaho’s law would force doctors to violate the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, a federal law that requires anyone coming to a medical facility for emergency treatment to be stabilized and treated, Garland said.
"Idaho's law would make it a criminal offense for doctors to provide the emergency medical treatment that federal law requires," Garland said.
Idaho, like many Republican-led states, has several anti-abortion laws on the books, creating a legal quagmire now that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned the landmark abortion rights case Roe v. Wade.
The law targeted by the Justice Department criminalizes all abortions, subjecting anyone who performs or attempts to perform an abortion to a felony punishable by between two and five years in prison.
People who are charged under the law could defend themselves against the criminal allegations by arguing that the abortion was done to save a pregnant person from death, or that it was done after the pregnant person reported that they were a victim of rape or incest to a law enforcement agency — and provided a copy of that report to the abortion provider.
"Under the Idaho law, once effective, any state or local prosecutor can subject a physician to indictment, arrest, and prosecution merely by showing that an abortion has been performed, without regard to the circumstances," the Department of Justice wrote in the lawsuit. "The law then puts the burden on the physician to prove an 'affirmative defense' at trial."
Advocates for sexual assault survivors have said the rape and incest exception is essentially useless because Idaho's public record law doesn’t allow law enforcement agencies to release reports when a case is still under investigation — a process that generally takes weeks or months.
Dr. Caitlin Gustafson, a family physician, and a regional Planned Parenthood organization have already used over the abortion ban in the Idaho Supreme Court, which is expected to hear arguments in the case on Wednesday. In the lawsuit, Gustafson contends that the exception for medical emergencies is vague and impossible to interpret.
"It would be very difficult, if not impossible, for me to implement the medical exception and provide care to a pregnant person whose life may be at risk," wrote Gustafson, noting that some serious pregnancy-related medical conditions like preeclampsia can cause death though it is not guaranteed to do so.
Neither Idaho Gov. Brad Little nor Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden, both Republicans, immediately responded to requests for comment on the federal lawsuit.

TAIPEI, Taiwan (AP) — U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Taiwan late Tuesday, becoming the highest-ranking American official in 25 years to visit the self-ruled island claimed by China, which quickly announced that it would conduct military maneuvers in retaliation for her presence.
Pelosi arrived aboard a U.S. Air Force passenger jet and was greeted on the tarmac at Taipei’s international airport by Taiwan’s foreign minister and other Taiwanese and American officials. She posed for photos before her motorcade whisked her unseen into the parking garage of a hotel.
Her visit has ratcheted up tension between China and the United States because China claims Taiwan as part of its territory, and it views visits by foreign government officials as recognition of the island’s sovereignty.
The Biden administration, and Pelosi, say the United States remains committed to its “one-China policy,” which recognizes Beijing but allows informal relations and defense ties with Taipei.
The speaker framed the trip as part of a broader mission at a time when “the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy.” Her visit comes after she led a congressional delegation to the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv in the spring, and it serves as a capstone to her many years of promoting democracy abroad.
“We must stand by Taiwan,” she said in an opinion piece published by The Washington Post on her arrival in Taiwan. She cited the commitment that the U.S. made to a democratic Taiwan under a 1979 law.
“It is essential that America and our allies make clear that we never give in to autocrats,” she wrote.
Taiwan and China split during a civil war in 1949, but China claims the island as its own territory and has not ruled out using military force to take it.
The Biden administration did not explicitly urge Pelosi to call off her plans. It repeatedly and publicly assured Beijing that the visit would not signal any change in U.S. policy toward Taiwan.
Soon after Pelosi’s arrival, China announced a series of military operations and drills, which followed promises of “resolute and strong measures” if Pelosi went through with her visit.
The People’s Liberation Army said the maneuvers would take place starting Tuesday night in the waters and skies near Taiwan and include the firing of long-range ammunition in the Taiwan Strait.
“This action is a solemn deterrent against the recent major escalation of the negative actions of the United States on the Taiwan issue, and a serious warning to the ‘Taiwan independence’ forces seeking ‘independence.’”
China’s official Xinhua News said the army planned to conduct live-fire drills from Aug. 4 to 7 across multiple locations. An image released by the news agency indicated that the drills were to take place in six different areas in the waters surrounding Taiwan.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Washington’s betrayal “on the Taiwan issue is bankrupting its national credibility.”
“Some American politicians are playing with fire on the issue of Taiwan,” Wang said in a statement that referred to the U.S. as “the world’s biggest saboteur of peace.”
Back in the United States, 26 Republican lawmakers issued a statement of rare bipartisan support for the Democratic speaker. The statement called trips by members of Congress to Taiwan routine.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell said he backed Pelosi’s visit as a display of support for Taiwan’s democracy and said any allegations that her itinerary was provocative are “utterly absurd.”
“I believe she has every right to go,” McConnell said in a Senate speech.
The trip was not officially announced ahead of time.
Barricades were erected outside the Grand Hyatt Hotel in Taipei. Journalists and onlookers thronged the streets just outside and pressed against the hotel’s lobby windows as they awaited Pelosi’s motorcade. Two buildings in the capital lit up LED displays with words of welcome, including the iconic Taipei 101 building, which said “Welcome to Taiwan, Speaker Pelosi.”
China has stepped up overflights and other provocative moves toward Taiwan and other neighboring territory in recent years, asserting broad claims of its rights around the region.
China’s military threats have driven concerns about a new crisis in the 100-mile-wide (140-kilometer) Taiwan Strait that could roil global markets and supply chains.
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 about whether to visit Taiwan was ultimately Pelosi’s.
“Put simply, there is no reason for Beijing to turn a potential visit consistent with longstanding 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. officials have said the American military will increase its movements in the Indo-Pacific region during Pelosi’s visit. The aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan and its strike group were in the Philippine Sea on Monday, according to officials who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss military operations.
The Reagan, the cruiser USS Antietam and the destroyer USS Higgins left Singapore after a port visit and moved north to their home port in Japan. The carrier has an array of aircraft, including F/A-18 fighter jets and helicopters, on board as well as sophisticated radar systems and other weapons.
Meanwhile, Taiwan’s Defense Ministry said early Wednesday that China had sent 21 planes flying toward Taiwan, 18 of them fighter jets. The rest included an early warning plane and an electronic warfare plane.
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, is the highest-ranking elected American official to visit Taiwan since then-Speaker Newt Gingrich in 1997.
The flight-tracking site Flightradar24 said Pelosi’s aircraft, an Air Force version of the Boeing 737, was the most tracked in the world on Tuesday evening with 300,000 viewers. The plane took a roundabout route, flying east over Indonesia rather than directly over the South China Sea.
Pelosi has used her position to be an emissary for the U.S. on the global stage.
She has long challenged China on human rights, including traveling to Tiananmen Square in 1991, two years after China crushed a wave of democracy protests. In 2009, she hand-delivered a letter to then-President Hu Jintao calling for the release of political prisoners. She had sought to visit Taiwan’s island democracy earlier this year before testing positive for COVID-19.
China has been steadily ratcheting up diplomatic and military pressure on Taiwan. China cut off all contact with Taiwan’s government in 2016 after President Tsai Ing-wen refused to endorse its claim that the island and mainland together make up a single Chinese nation, with the Communist regime in Beijing being the sole legitimate government.
Pelosi kicked off her Asian tour Monday in Singapore. She is to travel to Japan and South Korea later this week.

Fresh from winning Love Island, Ekin-Su is being tipped to head to Australia for I’m A Celebrity.

Nawaz Sharif calls for govt to permanently end ‘fitna’ of Imran Khan
Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) Chief Nawaz Sharif called for the government and coalition partners to play their role to eliminate the ‘fitna’ of Imran Khan forever after revelation of the ‘biggest theft’ in the country’s history by him.
He was talking to the media in London after the verdict of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on prohibited funding received by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
The deposed ex-PM said that for investigation against them, joint investigation team (JIT) was formed on WhatsApp but the probe in foreign funding case against PTI took eight years.
“Everything has become crystal clear now,” he said.
The ex-premier said that the decision established that Imran Khan was working on a foreign agenda. “He [Imran Khan] ruined the country’s politics, economy, and society.”
“He [Imran Khan] used to say that nothing was wrong in ‘little’ money laundering because he knew that he had done it,” Nawaz Sharif said.
He added that Imran Khan was fully aware of his theft which is why he was persistently demanding the resignation of the chief election commissioner.
He stated that biggest theft, robbery, and money laundering was proved on a person [Imran Khan] who used to lecture the nation on honesty and righteousness.
He said that it was certain Imran Khan was to only implement foreign agenda in Pakistan as he took funding from foreigners. The iniquity of this person will cause destruction of Pakistan, Nawaz warned.
PML-N chief called for the government to take immediate action under the law and Constitution to permanently end anarchism of Imran Khan.
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and PML-N leaders including federal ministers unequivocally hailed ECP’s verdict on foreign funding received by PTI and said that the case had exposed the party and its chairman Imran Khan who accused others of implementing foreign agenda in the country.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif labeled PTI chairman a ‘certified liar’ and asked the nation to ponder over the implications of his politics funded by foreigners. | https://www.samaaenglish.tv/news/40013846/nawaz-sharif-calls-for-govt-to-permanently-end-fitna-of-imran-khan | 2022-08-02T20:27:05Z | https://www.samaaenglish.tv/news/40013846/nawaz-sharif-calls-for-govt-to-permanently-end-fitna-of-imran-khan | false | 2 |
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas is holding the nation's first test of voter feelings about the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, with people statewide deciding Tuesday whether to allow their conservative Legislature to further restrict or ban abortion.
The referendum on the proposed anti-abortion amendment to the Kansas Constitution is being closely watched as a barometer of liberal and moderate voters' anger over the June ruling overturning the nationwide right to abortion. But the outcome might not reflect broader sentiments in the country as a whole, given how conservative Kansas is and how twice as many Republicans as Democrats have voted in its August primaries over the past decade.
Supporters of the measure wouldn't say before the vote whether they intend to pursue a ban if it passes, but they've spent decades pushing for new restrictions on a nearly annual basis and many other states in the Midwest and South have banned abortion in recent weeks. By not stating their position, they were seeking to win over voters who favored some restrictions but not an outright ban.
Abortion rights advocates expect the Legislature to ban abortion if the ballot measure passes, and in a surge of early voting the electorate was more Democratic than usual.
Chandler Alton, a 28-year-old physical therapist from Overland Park, voted Tuesday against the abortion measure.
“Abortion is health care and the government shouldn’t have a say on whether women receive what could be life-saving care,” Alton said, adding that she would in the future vote for candidates who wouldn't "let this kind of thing happen.”
Polls were busier than usual for a primary election, with lines reported at some locations Tuesday morning. Typically, primary elections in Kansas are limited to the two major parties, but unaffiliated voters can cast a vote in this election for the constitutional amendment. Advance in-person voting and mail ballots were up in the large counties of Sedgwick, Johnson and Wyandotte counties compared to the 2018 primary election.
“I'm actually pretty satisfied everything is going as smooth as it is for as busy as it is,” Wyandotte County Election Commissioner Michael Abbott said.
Stephanie Kostreva, a 40-year-old school nurse from Olathe and a Democrat, said she voted yes on the measure because she is a Christian and believes life begins at conception.
“I’m not full scale that there should never be an abortion," she said. "I know there are medical emergencies and when the mother’s life is in danger there is no reason for two people to die.”
An anonymous group that sent a misleading text to Kansas voters telling them to “vote yes” in order to protect choice was suspended late Monday from the Twilio messaging platform, disabling its ability to send new messages, Twilio spokesman Cris Paden said in an email. Twilio, without publicly identifying the sender, said it determined the account violated its acceptable use policy that prohibits the spread of disinformation.
The Kansas City Star reported that the text went to voters across the state, including former Democratic Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. Kansans for Constitutional Freedom, the main “vote no” campaign, called the text an example of “desperate and deceitful tactics.”
The Kansas secretary of state's office said it has received phone calls about the texts from the general public and “acknowledges their concerns. However, state law does not authorize the ... office to regulate campaign ads or messaging.” The Kansas Governmental Ethics Commission also posted on Twitter that, under current law, text message advocacy about constitutional ballot initiatives does not require attribution.
The Kansas measure would add language to the state constitution saying that it doesn't grant a right to abortion, which would allow lawmakers to regulate it as they see fit. Kentucky will vote in November on adding similar language to its constitution.
Meanwhile, Vermont will decide in November whether to add an abortion rights provision to its constitution. A similar question is likely headed to the November ballot in Michigan.
The Kansas measure is a response to a state Supreme Court decision in 2019 declaring that access to abortion is a matter of bodily autonomy and a “fundamental” right under the state's Bill of Rights.
Both sides together have spent more than $14 million on their campaigns. Abortion providers and abortion rights groups were key donors for the “no” side, while Catholic dioceses heavily funded the “yes” campaign.
Even though some early voters favor banning nearly all abortions, the vote yes campaign pitched its measure as a way to restore lawmakers' power to set “reasonable” abortion limits and preserve existing restrictions.
Kansas doesn't ban most abortions until the 22nd week of pregnancy. But a law that would prohibit the most common second-trimester procedure and another that would set special health regulations for abortion providers remain on hold because of legal challenges.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre weighed in on the Kansas vote Monday, saying: “If it passes, tomorrow’s vote in Kansas could lead to another state eliminating the right to choose and eviscerating access to health care."
The Republican-controlled Legislature has had anti-abortion majorities since the early 1990s. Kansas hasn't gone further in restricting abortion because abortion opponents have felt constrained either by past federal court decisions or because the governor was a Democrat, like Gov. Laura Kelly, who was elected in 2018. | https://www.10news.com/news/national/kansas-first-state-to-vote-on-abortion-since-roes-demise | 2022-08-02T20:28:41Z | https://www.10news.com/news/national/kansas-first-state-to-vote-on-abortion-since-roes-demise | false | 21 |

Yemen's warring sides agreed to renew a two-month truce expiring on Tuesday, the United Nations Envoy said, despite international pressure for an extended and expanded deal that would build on the longest stretch of relative calm in over seven years, Reuters reports.
"This truce extension includes a commitment from the parties to intensify negotiations to reach an expanded truce agreement as soon as possible," Special Envoy for Yemen, Hans Grundberg, said in a statement.
Grundberg had been pushing for a six-month truce with additional measures, sources had told Reuters, but both sides have had grievances about the implementation of the existing truce deal and mistrust runs deep.
US and Omani officials had also been engaging with parties to back Grundberg's proposal following a visit by President Joe Biden to Saudi Arabia last month, where he announced, following bilateral talks, an agreement to "deepen and extend" the truce.
The conflict, which pits a coalition led by Saudi Arabia against the Iran-aligned Houthi group, the de facto authority in north Yemen, has killed tens of thousands and caused millions to go hungry.
The internationally recognised government has accused the Houthis of intransigence in talks to reopen main roads in disputed Taiz, while the Houthis accused the coalition of not delivering the agreed number of fuel shipments into Hudaydah and select flights from the capital, Sana'a, both held by the group.
"In the coming weeks, I will intensify my engagements with the parties to ensure the full implementation of all the parties' obligations in the truce," Grundberg said.
He said an expanded truce would offer a mechanism to pay public sector salaries, the opening of roads, expanded flights from Sana'a, and the regular flow of fuel to Hudaydah. The UN is also pushing for a permanent ceasefire to enable the resumption of talks for a sustainable political resolution.

WASHTENAW COUNTY, Mich. (WLNS) – A 38-year-old Pittsfield Township man has been arrested for charges related to child pornography.
An investigation into to the online activity of Kevin Thomas-Bradley Stange was initiated after the Michigan State Police Computer Crimes Unit received a tip from the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Evidence gathered led police to a home in Washtenaw County where Stange was staying. Police searched the premises and recovered digital evidence.
After searching the residence, police arrested Stange and charged him with two counts of child sexually abusive activity and two counts of using a computer to commit a crime.
Stange was arraigned in the 14-A District Court on July 29. He was released on a personal recognizance bond.
Child sexually abusive activity is a felony punishable up to 25 years in prison; use of a computer to commit a crime is an additional felony punishable by 20 years in prison.
Police said they also investigated the recording of unknown individuals inside public restrooms in the Washtenaw County area.
Anyone with information about these incidents is asked to contact Detective Sgt. Tom Gladney with the Michigan State Police at (269) 845-0994. | https://www.wlns.com/news/mi-man-arrested-for-child-pornography-charges/ | 2022-08-02T20:39:57Z | https://www.wlns.com/news/mi-man-arrested-for-child-pornography-charges/ | false | 1 |
Citizens Advisory Committee recommends $200M bond election for Lubbock roadways
LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - The Lubbock Citizens Advisory Committee was created to consider the needs of Lubbock roadways. Those citizens have recommended another bond election in November. This bond election is for $200 million.
The committee presented the Lubbock City Council with its recommendations Tuesday afternoon.
The $200 million would address roads across all districts, including unpaved roads in Districts 1 and 2, as well as reconstruction in the Dunbar-Manhattan Heights neighborhood, which would be $6.5 million.
Notably, the committee did not recommend Broadway to be included in the proposal, saying while they agree the brick road needs to be addressed, they were worried it could jeopardize the bond’s passage.
The city’s financial staff said the bond would most likely cost the average homeowner $12 to $15 per year over five years.
The City Council will decide on August 9, 2022, whether to move forward with the recommendations.
Tune in to KCBD NewsChannel 11 at 6 and 10 to hear more from the committee and the Lubbock City Council.

President Joe Biden announced Monday that al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri was killed in a U.S. drone strike in Kabul, an operation he said delivered justice and hopefully “one more measure of closure” to families of the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
The president said in an evening address from the White House that U.S. intelligence officials tracked al-Zawahri to a home in downtown Kabul where he was hiding out with his family. The president approved the operation last week and it was carried out Sunday.
Al-Zawahri and the better-known Osama bin Laden plotted the 9/11 attacks that brought many ordinary Americans their first knowledge of al-Qaida. Bin Laden was killed in Pakistan on May 2, 2011, in operation carried out by U.S. Navy SEALs after a nearly decade-long hunt.
As for Al-Zawahri, Biden said, “He will never again, never again, allow Afghanistan to become a terrorist safe haven because he is gone and we’re going to make sure that nothing else happens.”
“This terrorist leader is no more,” he added.
The operation is a significant counterterrorism win for the Biden administration just 11 months after American troops left the country after a two-decade war.
The strike was carried out by the CIA, according to five people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity. Neither Biden nor the White House detailed the CIA’s involvement in the strike.
Biden, however, paid tribute to the U.S. intelligence community in his remarks, noting that “thanks to their extraordinary persistence and skill” the operation was a success.
Al-Zawahri’s death eliminates the figure who more than anyone shaped al-Qaida, first as bin Laden’s deputy since 1998, then as his successor. Together, he and bin Laden turned the jihadi movement’s guns to target the United States, carrying out the deadliest attack ever on American soil — the Sept. 11 suicide hijackings.
The house Al-Zawahri was in when he was killed was owned by a top aide to senior Taliban leader Sirajuddin Haqqani, according to a senior intelligence official. The official also added that a CIA ground team and aerial reconnaissance conducted after the drone strike confirmed al-Zawahri’s death.
On Tuesday morning, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan told ABC’s “Good Morning America” that “there was nobody on the ground in uniform when this strike occurred.” Sullivan added that the U.S. government is “in direct communication with the Taliban on this, and I’m not going to telegraph our next moves, but the Taliban well understand the United States is going to defend its interests.”
Over the 20-year war in Afghanistan, the U.S. targeted and splintered al-Qaida, sending leaders into hiding. But America’s exit from Afghanistan last September gave the extremist group the opportunity to rebuild.
U.S. military officials, including Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have said al-Qaida was trying to reconstitute in Afghanistan, where it faced limited threats from the now-ruling Taliban. Military leaders have warned that the group still aspired to attack the U.S.
After his killing, the White House underscored that al-Zawahri had continued to be a dangerous figure. The senior administration official said al-Zawahri had continued to “provide strategic direction,” including urging attacks on the U.S., while in hiding. He had also prioritized to members of the terror network that the United States remained al-Qaida’s “primary enemy,” the official said.
The 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon made bin Laden America’s Enemy No. 1. But he likely could never have carried it out without his deputy. Bin Laden provided al-Qaida with charisma and money, but al-Zawahri brought tactics and organizational skills needed to forge militants into a network of cells in countries around the world.
U.S. intelligence officials have been aware for years of a network helping al-Zawahri dodge U.S. intelligence officials hunting for him, but didn’t have a bead on his possible location until recent months.
Earlier this year, U.S. officials learned that the terror leader’s wife, daughter and her children had relocated to a safe house in Kabul, according to the senior administration official who briefed reporters.
Officials eventually learned al-Zawahri was also at the Kabul safe house.
In early April, White House deputy national security adviser Jon Finer and Biden’s homeland security adviser Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall were briefed on this developing intelligence. Soon the intelligence was carried up to national security adviser Jake Sullivan.
Sullivan brought the information to Biden as U.S. intelligence officials built “a pattern of life through multiple independent sources of information to inform the operation,” the official said.
Senior Taliban figures were aware of al-Zawahri’s presence in Kabul, according to the official, who added the Taliban government was given no forewarning of the operation.
Inside the Biden administration, only a small group of officials at key agencies, as well as Vice President Kamala Harris, were brought into the process. Through May and June, Biden was updated several times on the growing mound of intelligence that confirmed al-Zawahri was hiding out in the home. Over the last few weeks, Biden brought together several Cabinet officials and key national security officials to scrutinize the intelligence findings.
On July 1, Biden was briefed in the Situation Room about the planned operation, a briefing in which the president closely examined a scale model of the home al-Zawahri was hiding out in. He gave his final approval for the operation on Thursday. Al-Zawahri was on the balcony of his hideout on Sunday when two Hellfire missiles were launched from an unmanned drone, killing him.
Al-Zawahri’s family was in another part of the house when the operation was carried out, and no one else was believed to have been killed in the operation, the official said.
“We make it clear again tonight: That no matter how long it takes, no matter where you hide, if you are a threat to our people, the United States will find you and take you out,” Biden said.
Al-Zawahri was hardly a household name like bin Laden, but he played an enormous role in the terror group’s operations.
The two terror leaders’ bond was forged in the late 1980s, when al-Zawahri reportedly treated the Saudi millionaire bin Laden in the caves of Afghanistan as Soviet bombardment shook the mountains around them.
Al-Zawahri, on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list, had a $25 million bounty on his head for any information that could be used to kill or capture him.
Al-Zawhiri and bin Laden plotted the 9/11 attacks that brought many ordinary Americans their first knowledge of al-Qaida.
Photos from the time often showed the glasses-wearing, mild-looking Egyptian doctor sitting by the side of bin Laden. Al-Zawahiri had merged his group of Egyptian militants with bin Laden’s al-Qaida in the 1990s.
“The strong contingent of Egyptians applied organizational know-how, financial expertise, and military experience to wage a violent jihad against leaders whom the fighters considered to be un-Islamic and their patrons, especially the United States,” Steven A. Cook wrote for the Council on Foreign Relations last year.
When the 2001 U.S. invasion of Afghanistan demolished al-Qaida’s safe haven and scattered, killed and captured its members, al-Zawahri ensured al-Qaida’s survival. He rebuilt its leadership in the Afghan-Pakistan border region and installed allies as lieutenants in key positions.
He also reshaped the organization from a centralized planner of terror attacks into the head of a franchise chain. He led the assembling of a network of autonomous branches around the region, including in Iraq, Saudi Arabia, North Africa, Somalia, Yemen and Asia. Over the next decade, al-Qaida inspired or had a direct hand in attacks in all those areas as well as Europe, Pakistan and Turkey, including the 2004 train bombings in Madrid and the 2005 transit bombings in London.
More recently, the al-Qaida affiliate in Yemen proved itself capable of plotting attacks against U.S. soil with an attempted 2009 bombing of an American passenger jet and an attempted package bomb the following year.
But even before bin Laden’s death, al-Zawahri was struggling to maintain al-Qaida’s relevance in a changing Middle East.
He tried with little success to coopt the wave of uprisings that spread across the Arab world starting in 2011, urging Islamic hard-liners to take over in the nations where leaders had fallen. But while Islamists gained prominence in many places, they have stark ideological differences with al-Qaida and reject its agenda and leadership.
Nevertheless, al-Zawahri tried to pose as the Arab Spring’s leader. America “is facing an Islamic nation that is in revolt, having risen from its lethargy to a renaissance of jihad,” he said in a video eulogy to bin Laden, wearing a white robe and turban with an assault rifle leaning on a wall behind him.
Al-Zawahri was also a more divisive figure than his predecessor. Many militants described the soft-spoken bin Laden in adoring and almost spiritual terms.
In contrast, al-Zawahri was notoriously prickly and pedantic. He picked ideological fights with critics within the jihadi camp, wagging his finger scoldingly in his videos. Even some key figures in al-Qaida’s central leadership were put off, calling him overly controlling, secretive and divisive.
Some militants whose association with bin Laden predated al-Zawahri’s always saw him as an arrogant intruder.
“I have never taken orders from al-Zawahri,” Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, one of the network’s top figures in East Africa until his 2011 death, sneered in a memoir posted on line in 2009. “We don’t take orders from anyone but our historical leadership.”
There had been rumors of al-Zawahri’s death on and off for several years. But a video surfaced in April of the al-Qaida leader praising a Indian Muslim woman who had defied a ban on wearing a hijab, or headscarf. That footage was the first proof in months that he was still alive.
A statement from Afghanistan’s Taliban government confirmed the airstrike, but did not mention al-Zawahri or any other casualties.
It said the Taliban “strongly condemns this attack and calls it a clear violation of international principles and the Doha Agreement,” the 2020 U.S. pact with the Taliban that led to the withdrawal of American forces.
“Such actions are a repetition of the failed experiences of the past 20 years and are against the interests of the United States of America, Afghanistan, and the region,” the statement said.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Zach Wilson knows what comes with the territory of being an NFL quarterback, especially one in the New York area.
With such a large media presence and massive fan base, every throw on the field — even in practice — and each move off it is scrutinized. So how does the soon-to-be 23-year-old Jets QB handle all the chatter?
“Who’s scrutinizing?” Wilson asked with a wry smile. “I mean, I’m sorry — I don’t read any of you guys’ stuff. It’s only (Joe) Flacco that scrutinizes me — in our ping-pong tournaments we’ve got going on outside of this.”
Wilson has a simple way to deal with it all: He deletes all the social media apps from his phone before training camp.
“I mean, I’m not a big social media guy,” he said. “I don’t have access to that kind of stuff. I keep my mind here with the guys and in the playbook and with our coaches and learn from what those guys are telling me.”
That's right. No tweets, Facebook posts or Instagram videos and photos for Wilson until after the season ends.
“I want to be locked in on what's going on on our field and in our meeting rooms,” he said.
Wilson said he started deleting his social media apps before camp while he was in college at BYU. He has what he calls his "social media team” that helps post things, if needed.
“They'll send me content — ‘Do you want to put this up or that up?’” Wilson said. "I generate stuff with our guys on our team, like, ‘Hey, I think that would be cool to post or show off so-and-so.’ But really when it comes down to just reading things, I don't ever get into that stuff.
“I don't ever just scroll down social media.”
Wilson is in an unique spot, though, because he regularly trends for his football exploits, of course. But he also ended up buzzing on the gossip pages during the offseason for rumors about his dating life. His mother Lisa is also a popular personality on Instagram, with more than 119,000 followers.
"For me, it's just comes to limiting what voices I really need to hear," Wilson said. "And right now, it's hearing what my coaches have to say, what the other quarterbacks have to say and really, my teammates and what we're thinking every single play.
“Even parents can sometimes be a distraction.”
Sorry, Mom and Dad. There are no “dislike” buttons yet.
NOTES: RB Michael Carter was held out of practice with what coach Robert Saleh called a minor ankle issue. Carter is day to day with the hope he'll be back on the field later this week. ... DE Vinny Curry is sidelined with a hamstring injury. ... LT George Fant participated in a few plays during team drills for the first time this summer. He's working his way back from offseason arthroscopic knee surgery.

- Sales of $1.1 billion increased 4% year-over-year, 9% on FX neutral basis, driven by strong growth in Materials Processing
- Backlog growth of 51% year-over-year to $3.5 billion
- Operating margin of 9.6% improved sequentially by 220 bps
- EPS of $1.07 on improving price / cost dynamics
- Raising full-year 2022 EPS outlook to $3.80 to $4.20
- Repurchased $61 million of shares in second quarter
NORWALK, Conn., Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Terex Corporation (NYSE: TEX) today announced its results for the second quarter 2022.
CEO Commentary
"We are pleased with our solid financial performance in the quarter as a result of continued execution of our strategy and relentless focus on delivering for our customers and dealers," said Terex Chairman and Chief Executive Officer John L. Garrison, Jr. "We grew sales 9% when adjusting for FX rates and ended the quarter with backlog of $3.5 billion, an increase of 51% year-over-year, emphasizing sustained strong demand from our customers."
"We are proud of our execution this quarter amidst global supply chain disruptions and significant inflationary pressures. As a result of the strong performance in the first half of the year we are raising our full year EPS outlook to $3.80 to $4.20. We remain focused on executing our multi-year growth plan and continue to invest in new technologies and products. We were first in the industry to introduce an all-electric bucket truck, supporting aggressive sustainability goals at electric utilities; we acquired ProAll, expanding our concrete product offering; and, we invested in Acculon Energy, accelerating and further advancing Genie battery technology and electrification offerings. Our industry-leading and innovative new products, steady backlog, recognized brands and strong balance sheet position us well to navigate the near-term macro challenges to deliver long-term value."
Second Quarter Operational and Financial Highlights
- Net sales of $1.1 billion in the second quarter of 2022 increased 4%, compared to net sales of $1.0 billion in the second quarter of 2021. The increase was primarily due to improved price realization across all segments and healthy demand for our products which was partially offset by a 5% negative impact from changes in foreign exchange rates.
- Income from operations in the second quarter decreased $18.6 million to $103.9 million, or 9.6% of net sales, compared to $122.5 million, or 11.8% of net sales, in the prior year. Increased pricing did not offset rising costs and the negative impact of foreign exchange rates from the prior year. However, price / cost dynamics have improved sequentially from the first quarter.
- Income from continuing operations of $74.1 million, or $1.07 per share, in the second quarter of 2022, grew 2.5% compared to income from continuing operations of $72.3 million, or $1.02 per share, in the second quarter of 2021.
- Return on invested capital was a solid 17.3% as we continue to invest in the business and return cash to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
Business Segment Review
Materials Processing
- Net sales were $480.7 million for the second quarter, up 9.1% or $39.9 million over the prior year, primarily due to price realization and robust end-market demand for aggregates and material handlers in all major geographies. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $30 million, net sales increased 15.9%.
- Income from operations increased $7.4 million to $79.5 million, or 16.5% of net sales, compared to $72.1 million, or 16.4% of net sales, in the prior year. The increase was due to price realization, higher sales volume and strong expense management partially offset by cost increases, significant inflationary pressures and the negative effects of foreign exchange rate changes.
- Operating margins were up sequentially from Q1 2022 by 230 basis points.
Aerial Work Platforms
- Net sales were $597.7 million for the second quarter, up 0.4% or $2.5 million over the prior year. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange rates of approximately $21 million, net sales increased 4.0%. The increase was primarily due to price realization and higher demand in all major geographies except for China.
- Income from operations decreased $19.0 million to $46.2 million, or 7.7% of net sales, compared to $65.2 million, or 11.0% of net sales in the prior year. Price realization partially offset increased costs as well as the negative effects of foreign exchange rate changes.
- Operating margins were up sequentially from Q1 2022 by 180 basis points. This sequential improvement was the result of strong execution on strict expense management and disciplined pricing actions.
Disciplined Capital Allocation
- As of June 30, 2022, the Company had ample liquidity of $678.3 million.
- Working capital of $893.8 million was 20.7% of trailing three month annualized net sales and reflects higher inventory levels from supply chain disruptions.
- For the year-to-date period, Terex deployed $55.1 million for capital expenditures and growth investments and $23.0 million for debt retirement.
- Terex executed $78.5 million in share repurchases and paid $18.0 million in dividends year-to-date.
CFO Commentary
Julie Beck, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, said "Our strong balance sheet has allowed us to return approximately $100 million of cash to shareholders year-to-date. The team continues to execute on the strategy of disciplined pricing and expense management to deliver sequential quarterly margin improvement."
2022 Outlook
(in millions, except per share data)
FX Commentary
- Sales outlook consistent, but seeing increased pricing offset by FX
- Strong price execution ~9% and volume growth ~6% offset by FX (~6%)
- FX impact on EPS is unfavorable ($0.25) vs initial outlook
- Unfavorably impacting free cash flow

GLOSSARY
In an effort to provide investors with additional information regarding the Company's results, Terex refers to various GAAP (U.S. generally accepted accounting principles) and non-GAAP financial measures which management believes provides useful information to investors. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures being disclosed by other companies. In addition, the Company believes that non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Terex believes that this non-GAAP information is useful to understanding its operating results and the ongoing performance of its underlying businesses. Management of Terex uses both GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures to establish internal budgets and targets and to evaluate the Company's financial performance against such budgets and targets.
The amounts described below are unaudited, are reported in millions of U.S. dollars (except share data and percentages), and are as of or for the period ended June 30, 2022, unless otherwise indicated.
2022 Outlook
The Company's 2022 outlook for earnings per share is a non-GAAP financial measure because it excludes the impact of potential future acquisitions, divestitures, restructuring, and other unusual items. The Company is not able to reconcile this forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts because the Company is unable to predict with a reasonable degree of certainty the exact timing and impact of such items. The unavailable information could have a significant impact on the Company's full-year 2022 GAAP financial results. This forward looking information provides guidance to investors about the Company's EPS expectations excluding unusual items that the Company does not believe is reflective of its ongoing operations.
Free Cash Flow
The Company calculates a non-GAAP measure of free cash flow. The Company defines free cash flow as Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Capital expenditures, net of proceeds from sale of capital assets. The Company believes that this measure of free cash flow provides management and investors further useful information on cash generation or use in our primary operations. The following table reconciles Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities to free cash flow (in millions):

Report: Chelsea Have Agreed On A Loan Deal With Monaco For Blue's Defender Malang Sarr
French defender Malang Sarr may see his return to Ligue 1 football as the 23-year-old weighs up his potential loan moves for the summer.
French side Monaco seems to be ahead of Fulham in the race to sign Blues star Malang Sarr. The Premier League side was the favorite to bring the 23-year-old on loan move to Craven Cottage however, due to Chelsea's defender shortage the deal was later blocked.
According to the French newspaper Lequipe, Chelsea and Monaco have come to an agreement to send Sarr to join the Ligue 1 side. Reports say Monaco will pay Chelsea £750,000 to take Sarr on loan with a purchase option of £12 million.
Monaco is said to be the preferred destination for Sarr over moving to Marco Silva's newly promoted side.

The French side seems to be pushing the hardest for the loan move after selling defender Strahinja Pavlovic to Red Bull Salzburg out in Austria.
Chelsea on the other hand are pushing to sign Leicster City defender Wesley Fofana. It seems like the French defender is also pushing for the move towards Stamford Bridge but the Premier League club is very reluctant in letting him go.
Reports suggest that Chelsea could include Youngster Levi Colwill in apart of a deal to try convince Leicster City to become more open to negoations.

A prominent conservative attorney, who worked with former President Donald Trump on efforts to overturn the 2020 election, has been leading "Election Integrity" summits in swing states across the country, raising concerns about how false claims about a "stolen" election may affect future contests.
Leaked audio from those summits, which has been shared with NPR and other news outlets, provides an inside view of those efforts, which have been backed by key figures from Trump's orbit and funding from Trump's political operation. Officials from the Republican National Committee have also attended these events.
The attorney and guiding force behind these summits is named Cleta Mitchell. She has come under intense scrutiny ever since she took part in a Jan. 2, 2021 call to Georgia election officials, in which Trump pressured those officials to reverse the outcome.
"I only need 11,000 votes - fellas, I need 11,000 votes," Trump said on the call. "Give me a break. You know we have that in spades already."
During the call, Mitchell floated multiple allegations of voter fraud, which Georgia's Secretary of State - himself a conservative Republican - said his office had investigated and debunked.
Soon after audio of the call was released, Mitchell resigned under pressure from her position as partner with the law firm Foley & Lardner, which expressed concern with her participation on the call.
The congressional committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol has subpoenaed Mitchell. In addition to her participation on the call with Georgia election officials, the Committee also released an email indicating that two days after the 2020 election, Mitchell suggested that state legislators could choose which electors to send to the Electoral College. That strategy could have allowed pro-Trump electors to essentially disregard their states' election results.
The district attorney of Fulton County, Ga. also secured a subpoena for Mitchell to testify as part of a separate criminal investigation into Trump's election efforts.
As those investigations have pressed forward, Mitchell has been working for a conservative nonprofit group based in Washington, D.C. called the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI), where "now I get to work on election integrity every single day," she recently said. Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows is a senior partner at CPI, and Trump's Save America political action committee gave $1 million to CPI last summer. Under the umbrella of CPI, Mitchell runs the "Election Integrity Network."
The election was rigged. Trump won. https://t.co/UIhYDhA5gx
— Election Integrity Network (@EyesOnBallots) July 31, 2022
With the support of those connections and funding, CPI has hosted "Election Integrity Summits" in several states this year, including Michigan, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, and Pennsylvania. "We're taking back our election systems," Mitchell told former Trump adviser Steve Bannon earlier this year, with the help of "an election integrity movement that is populated and driven by people who supported President Trump and who saw their votes literally cast aside."
Documented, a Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group that reports on the influence of corporations and wealthy people in politics, obtained leaked recordings from multiple events. They shared hours of tape from a March 31, 2022 summit just outside of Harrisburg, Pa. with NPR and other news outlets.
On its face, neither the mobilization of poll watchers nor increased scrutiny of election officials is necessarily concerning or even unusual. Brendan Fischer, the deputy executive director of Documented, says the difference with these events is their reliance on false and debunked information about the 2020 election.
"The concern is that the conspiracy theorists who see fraud around every corner are going to disrupt voting and the administration of elections," said Fischer.
Election officials have described receiving a barrage of threats since the 2020 election. On Monday, the Department of Justice announced that election officials and workers had reported receiving about a thousand "hostile or harassing" contacts. More than 100 of those contacts, the Department said, "met the threshold for a federal criminal investigation."
Mitchell, for her part, has stressed the importance of volunteers remaining polite. "Never lose your temper or raise your voice," the group's "Citizen's Guide" states.
CPI did not respond to multiple requests for comment about their events.
Here are four takeaways from the recordings:
An official from the Republican National Committee praised Mitchell and her efforts
Though Mitchell has attracted intense scrutiny for her fraud claims about the 2020 election, an RNC official praised Mitchell and expressed a degree of deference to her work.
Joshua Findlay, the RNC's national director for election integrity, opened his remarks by thanking Mitchell.
"I am very grateful, first of all, that you're putting these on," said Findlay. "And, second of all, that we're invited. I flew overnight from meetings we had in Nevada to be here just for this."
Findlay went on to suggest that the RNC would take its cues from Mitchell.
"Cleta Mitchell, she's like the best election and election law expert out here. We're not going to tell her what to do," Findlay said. "But hopefully we can provide some infrastructure and some muscle and that's what we want to do."
Andrea Raffle, the RNC's director of election integrity for the state of Pennsylvania, also spoke at the event, and discussed ways for people to get involved in election offices. One goal of that effort, Findlay and Raffle explained, was to connect both volunteer and paid election workers with the Republican party's "war room," which could help address problems at the polls and inform the party's potential legal challenges.
"The RNC works with other groups who have an interest in promoting election integrity but the party's efforts are independent from any outside organization," said Emma Vaughn, a spokesperson for the RNC. "As such, the RNC is not a part of any formal coalition with outside groups."
Vaughn said that in places where the RNC had already engaged in "election integrity" efforts, "elections have run smoothly, and turnout has increased."
Participants are under scrutiny from investigators
Michael Roman, who served as director of election day operations for the Trump 2020 campaign, also took part in the summit.
About a month prior, Roman was subpoenaed by the January 6th committee in Congress.
"The Select Committee is in possession of communications reflecting your involvement in a coordinated strategy to contact Republican members of state legislatures in certain states that former President Trump had lost and urge them to 'reclaim' their authority by sending an alternate slate of electors that would support former President Trump," said committee chair Bennie Thompson in a letter to Roman regarding the subpoena. "It appears that you helped direct the Trump campaign staffers participating in this effort."
Roman did not respond to NPR's request for comment.
According to the Washington Post, a grand jury in Washington has also subpoenaed records of communications between Arizona officials and Findlay, as well as several other Trump campaign staffers, as part of a Department of Justice investigation.
There is no indication Findlay himself is under investigation.
A focus on 'blue' areas
Throughout the event, several presenters suggested that it was especially important to closely monitor areas with large numbers of Democrats.
Doug McLinko, a county commissioner for Bradford County, Pa., said efforts to "clean up" voter rolls should be focused on Philadelphia and the surrounding areas, "Because that's the counties that are a problem. Yeah, we can go to the rural counties and we can clean up voter rolls. We need to do that But let's be honest where it's at - let's be honest where the steal was at."
At another point, a member of the audience from Philadelphia, who did not identify himself by name, said, "in certain sections of the city which are very dangerous because Black Lives Matter is there - do we have and will we find people of color who are conservative number one and willing to work?"
Organizers for the event did not directly address the question, but said they were working on finding more volunteers for election monitoring positions in Philadelphia.
The comments about more racially diverse and predominantly Democratic areas were not limited to Pennsylvania.
The RNC's Findlay described Harris County, Tex., which includes the city of Houston, in similar terms.
"That's like the Philadelphia of Texas," said Findlay. "It's the county where we know all the problems are."
"Our job is not to win," said Christine Brim, a conservative activist from left-leaning Fairfax County, Virginia. "Our job is to lose less badly. And when you face that reality, when you're the blue county that can ruin a statewide vote, that really focuses what you're doing."
Past interest in conspiracy theories and incendiary rhetoric
Toni Shuppe, the founder and CEO of Audit The Vote PA, was introduced at the summit as a leader of the state's "election integrity" coalition. She told NPR she is now working with a large number of groups in the state on those efforts.
As Shuppe recounted in a video posted to Facebook, she was in Washington, D.C. and outside the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 attack. She said she did not witness any of the violence that day, and things were peaceful where she was.
Shuppe has written that her path to political activism began, in part, by watching a 10-part three-hour online video called "The Fall Of The Cabal." The video promotes a wide variety of conspiracy theories, including some related to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, to theories known as Pizzagate and QAnon. The Anti-Defamation League has described QAnon as "a wide-reaching conspiracy theory popular among a range of right-wing extremists," with "marked undertones of antisemitism and xenophobia."
"I don't know if any of the information in the video is true," Shuppe told NPR in an email. "But what if it is? The video opened my eyes to be more analytical and to question all narratives. I feel the same way about 9/11. Question all narratives."
In one startling scene from the video, the narrator claims that "worldwide, children are stolen and sold to elite pedophile rings," which then "drink the childrens' blood and they eat their flesh."
NPR asked Shuppe if she believed that specific claim.
"I have no idea," Shuppe responded. "Wish I knew. Great question though. Why don't you do some digging to figure that out and report back?"
Another participant at the event has used incendiary rhetoric in the past.
Ned Jones, the Deputy Director of the Election Integrity Network at CPI, gave a presentation on ways to hold local election officials accountable, including by filing public records requests.
During the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Jones responded to a tweet about the breach of the Capitol building, "They don't say a word when BLM/Antifa burn cities. It's our turn! About time!"
He has also frequently tweeted about the possibility of a second "civil war."
Responding to a tweet about street violence during post-election protests in Washington state in December 2020, Jones wrote, "The Civil War has started in Olympia, WA! Let's roll Patriots!"
Jones did not respond to NPR's request for comment.

Samsung’s Unpacked event is scheduled for Wednesday, August 10th, and current leaks and rumours point to the Seoul, South Korea-based company showing off multiple new devices at the event, including the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro, Galaxy Watch 5 and Watch 5 Pro, Galaxy Z Fold 4 and the Galaxy Z Flip 4.
While we already know a bit about the latter of the above-mentioned devices (Galaxy Flip 4), like the fact that it will run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset, sport a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED 12-Hz main display and a 2.1-inch external display, a new snippet of information found by Redditor u/AlexQuakeZ confirms the colours and storage variants the device will be available in (via AndroidPolice).
According to u/AlexQuakeZ, Assurant’s Samsung Care+ insurance website for the UK has the new device listed in ‘Blue,’ ‘Bora Purple’, ‘Graphite,’ and ‘Pink’ colourways, with several Bespoke colour customizations available. The website also suggests that the device will be available in two storage variants — 128GB and 256GB.
Alongside the Z Flip 4, the website also has the Z Fold 4 listed in ‘Beige,’ ‘Grey,’ ‘Green’ and ‘Phantom Black’ colourways in 256 and 512GB storage variants and the Galaxy Watch 5 in ‘Graphite,’ ‘Silver,’ ‘Gold,’ and ‘Blue’ colourways. The Watch 5 Pro has been upgraded to feature a titanium body (from aluminum) and will be available in ‘Titanium’ and ‘Black’ colourways.
The listing of said unreleased devices seems to have been a mistake on Samsung’s part, which it soon rectified. None of the above-mentioned devices are now listed on the UK Samsung Care+ website.

When you enter the website, it talks about two options for the electric car: standard, for €13,000 ($13,226 at the current exchange rate), and long-range, for €15,000 ($15,260). While the standard runs up to 200 kilometers (124 miles), the long-range runs 300 km (186 mi).
While the standard has an LFP battery pack with a capacity of 13.8 kWh, the more expensive version presents a 26.5-kWh unit. To hold it, it needs to be longer and roomier than the entry-level, as has also happened with the original Wuling Hongguang Mini EV since September 2021.
The website configurator shows six selections of single-tone body colors: light blue, white, yellow, orange, green, and pink. However, the website exhibits a section with only five picks: green, pink, yellow, white, and dark blue. There are options of a black or white roof, leading the two-tone options to a total of ten. We later discovered this last color catalog might be the most accurate. Among the options for the Nikrob, you can choose between 12-in or 13-in wheels, LED headlights or regular ones, winter or summer tires, and fabric or leather seats.
We tried to contact Nikrob to learn more about the company. Although its CEO is Mykolas Komaras, it was Yvonna Rimsa who replied to our messages. She said the company is already selling the car even in countries with no official distributor. Deliveries cost €350 and happen 90 days after the order is completed. Nikrob offers a 2-year warranty, and test drives only happen in Vilnius, Lithuania, where its headquarters and production site are.
Rimsa sent us a PDF with the car’s configurations. Besides the versions on the website, Nikrob will also sell one called Comfort, which starts at €15,500 ($15,769) but offers the smaller LFP battery pack. The document confirms the color options we discussed above, and the prices do not include the taxes you must pay in each country. If the EV incentives do not help, the Nikrob tends to be more expensive than the website discloses.
Neither Nikrob nor Yankelovich want to discuss their reasons for parting ways. Although it does not seem to have been friendly, nobody seems to wish to take the issue to court. Yankelovich said they were just very different and that the best way to solve this was through good and old competition.
The FreZe (and DARTZ) founder will have three electric models for his new brand: Froggy, Kaiman, and Mojo. They are respectively a cabriolet, a hatchback, and a buggy. Yankelovich promised to show us the pictures of the vehicles soon and said he did not like the idea of badge engineering from the very beginning. Now that Nikrob is not involved, he’ll have new cars. Currently, they are based on the Mini EV, but the FreZe CEO believes he can select one of its Chinese competitors to proceed.
Whatever got these companies apart, the good news is that European customers will have more options. Instead of a FreZe Nikrob, they will be able to choose between FreZe or Nikrob. We’ll keep an eye on them to see how this unfolds.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 2, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC) today reported second quarter 2022 revenue of $1.45 billion, an increase of 17 percent versus second quarter 2021, driven by strong market demand and pricing. Excluding the impact of foreign currencies, organic revenue grew 21 percent year-over-year. On a GAAP basis, the company reported earnings of $1.06 per diluted share in the second quarter. This compares to GAAP earnings of $1.56 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2021. The impact of FMC's exit from Russia was $0.60 per diluted share in the quarter. Second quarter adjusted earnings were $1.93 per diluted share, an increase of 7 percent versus second quarter 2021.
"FMC's first half performance reflects our ability to price for the value we offer as well as robust demand for our innovative products worldwide. The company's performance was further supported by our operational agility and focus on execution in a dynamic global environment," said Mark Douglas, FMC president and chief executive officer.
FMC revenue growth in the second quarter was driven by a 14 percent contribution from volume and a 7 percent contribution from price, offset partially by a 4 percent currency headwind.
Sales in North America grew 26 percent versus the second quarter of 2021. Demand for both herbicides and insecticides grew double-digits. In Canada, high insect pressure supported the successful launch of Coragen® MaX, an insecticide powered by Rynaxypyr® active. Latin America sales grew 42 percent organically, and 44 percent including FX, year-over-year in the quarter, driven by volume gains and significant price increases across soy, corn, cotton and sugarcane. Brazil led growth in the region with strong sales of diamides and biologicals. In Asia, revenue was up 4 percent organically versus the prior year period. Including FX, Asia was down 1 percent. Demand for Benevia® insecticide grew in India for application on fruits and vegetables. In Australia, Overwatch® herbicide continued to outperform competing products in cereals. Sales in EMEA grew 15 percent organically and 3 percent including FX. Aside from strong pricing, results were driven by increased demand for Exirel® insecticide and Verimark® insecticide, as well as selective herbicides. Plant Health continued its growth momentum with revenue growing 20 percent in the quarter compared to previous year, led by biologicals which grew nearly 40 percent year-over-year.
Second quarter adjusted EBITDA was $360 million, an increase of 3 percent from the prior-year period. Volume benefits and pricing gains across all regions more than offset significant cost and currency headwinds in the quarter.
Full Year 2022 Outlook2
FMC's solid performance in the first half supports continued confidence in strong revenue and adjusted EBITDA growth for the full year which is reflected in a narrower updated guidance range. Full-year 2022 revenue is now forecasted to be in the range of $5.5 billion to $5.7 billion, representing an increase of 11 percent at the midpoint versus 2021 driven by volume and price growth in all regions partially offset by foreign currency impact in EMEA and Asia. Full-year adjusted EBITDA range has been narrowed and is now expected to be $1.36 billion to $1.44 billion, representing 6 percent year-over-year growth at the midpoint. The company expects the highest cost increases of the year in the third quarter with continued, but lower, cost inflation in the fourth quarter. The company's decision to cease operations and business in Russia will also be a headwind. The range for 2022 adjusted earnings per share is narrowed and it is now expected to be $7.00 to $7.70 per diluted share, representing an increase of 6 percent year-over-year at the midpoint. Interest expense is now expected to be $135 million to $155 million. Adjusted earnings per share excludes any impact from potential 2022 share repurchases and assumes weighted average diluted shares outstanding (WADSO) of approximately 127 million. Full-year free cash flow is expected to be $565 million to $685 million.
Second Half Outlook2
Sales in the second half of 2022 are expected to be in the range of $2.70 billion to $2.90 billion, representing 7 percent growth at the midpoint compared to the same period last year. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be $646 million to $726 million, representing 2 percent growth at the midpoint versus a very strong second half 2021.
Third quarter revenue is expected to be in the range of $1.31 billion to $1.39 billion, representing a 13 percent increase at the midpoint compared to third quarter 2021. Adjusted EBITDA will be impacted by the highest cost increases this year as cost of materials purchased earlier in the year flow through the P&L. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $235 million to $255 million, representing a 16 percent decrease at the midpoint versus third quarter 2021. FMC expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $1.00 to $1.20 in the third quarter, a decrease of 23 percent at the midpoint versus third quarter 2021.
Fourth quarter revenue is expected to be in the range of $1.39 billion to $1.51 billion, a 2 percent increase at the midpoint compared to a very strong fourth quarter 2021. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter is expected to benefit as price and volume growth continues while cost increases begin to ease. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $411 million to $471 million, representing a 17 percent increase at the midpoint versus fourth quarter 2021. FMC expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $2.18 to $2.70 in the fourth quarter, which represents growth of 13 percent at the midpoint versus fourth quarter 2021.
"We continue to benefit from a robust market backdrop and customer demand for our innovative products and solutions. Strong pricing and demand through the second half of the year are expected to more than offset cost inflation and currency headwinds," said Douglas.

Such elements include, but are not limited to, restructuring, acquisition charges, and discontinued operations. As a result, no GAAP outlook is provided.

Additionally, our business might be materially and adversely affected by changes in the retail and real estate industries, including bankruptcies, consolidation and store closings, particularly among anchor tenants; current economic conditions, including consumer confidence and spending levels and supply chain challenges and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the public health and governmental response as well as the corresponding effects on tenant business performance, prospects, solvency and leasing decisions; our inability to collect rent due to the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise; our ability to maintain and increase property occupancy, sales and rental rates; increases in operating costs that cannot be passed on to tenants; the effects of online shopping and other uses of technology on our retail tenants; risks related to our development and redevelopment activities, including delays, cost overruns and our inability to reach projected occupancy or rental rates; social unrest and acts of vandalism and violence at malls, including our properties, or at other similar spaces, and the potential effect on traffic and sales; the frequency, severity and impact of extreme weather events at or near our properties; our ability to sell properties that we seek to dispose of or our ability to obtain prices we seek; our substantial debt and the liquidation preference of our preferred shares and our high leverage ratio and our ability to remain in compliance with our financial covenants under our debt facilities; our ability to refinance our existing indebtedness when it matures, on favorable terms or at all; our ability to raise capital, including through sales of properties or interests in properties and through the issuance of equity or equity-related securities if market conditions are favorable; and potential dilution from any capital raising transactions or other equity issuances.
Additional factors that might cause future events, achievements or results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements include those discussed herein, and in the sections entitled "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Highway 3A is closed between Keremeos and Highway 97 junction in Kaleden, near Penticton due to the Keremeos Creek wildfire. There is no estimate for re-opening.
Highway 3A has temporary closures Tuesday between Yellow Lake and Olalla to allow for fire mitigation and to build control lines against the out-of-control wildfire that has been coming closer to the highway.
The fire has moved downslope towards the highway at the south end of Yellow Lake with flames highly visible from the road.
At 11:30 a.m., Tuesday, DriveBC posted that Highway 3A was closed and to take alternative routes. Check with DriveBC at www.drivebc.ca for highway closure details and alternate routes.
#BCHwy3A CLOSED due to a wildfire between #Keremeos and #BCHwy97 junction. Estimated time of opening not available. Detour not available. #Kaleden #BCWildfires
For more info: https://t.co/EdqtysMMVC pic.twitter.com/U65kEj2sKG— DriveBC (@DriveBC) August 2, 2022
The BC Wildfire Service is currently planning for several controlled ignitions to fight the growing wildfire that is now estimated at 2,790 hectares in size.
There are 324 properties are under an evacuation order with another 438 under an alert. The Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen Emergency Operations Centre (RDOS EOC) will be posting an update on the fire at 2 p.m. on their Youtube channel.
Evacuees Allowed Temporary Access
The RDOS EOC is organizing for evacuees to gain temporary access to their properties.
Residents will need to request temporary access prior to 5 p.m. for access the next day. Residents in the evacuation order area can request a temporary access permit by emailing eocops@rdos.bc.ca or calling 250-490-4231.
The purpose of the temporary permits is to provide a way for residents to access their properties in a safe and organized manner, said the RDOS EOC in a press release.
The RCMP and other private security are controlling access and protecting properties under evacuation. All residents without permitted access are asked to stay well away.

3 Reasons Why ExlService Holdings (EXLS) Is a Great Growth Stock
Growth stocks are attractive to many investors, as above-average financial growth helps these stocks easily grab the market's attention and produce exceptional returns. But finding a growth stock that can live up to its true potential can be a tough task.
That's because, these stocks usually carry above-average risk and volatility. In fact, betting on a stock for which the growth story is actually over or nearing its end could lead to significant loss.
However, it's pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks with the help of the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects.
ExlService Holdings (EXLS) is one such stock that our proprietary system currently recommends. The company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank.
Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.
Here are three of the most important factors that make the stock of this provider of outsourcing services a great growth pick right now.
Earnings Growth
Earnings growth is arguably the most important factor, as stocks exhibiting exceptionally surging profit levels tend to attract the attention of most investors. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.
While the historical EPS growth rate for ExlService Holdings is 14%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 15.7% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of 10.2%.
Cash Flow Growth
While cash is the lifeblood of any business, higher-than-average cash flow growth is more important and beneficial for growth-oriented companies than for mature companies. That's because, growth in cash flow enables these companies to expand their businesses without depending on expensive outside funds.

Activision revenues declined in Q2 due to "lower engagement" in the Call of Duty franchise
Things could look up in Q4 thanks to "high" anticipation for Modern Warfare 2.Activision released its Q2 financials for the current fiscal year overnight, noting a decline in net revenue due to "lower engagement" in Call of Duty.
For the second quarter, the company reported revenue of $1.64 billion, a year-over-year (yoy) decline compared to $2.30 billion reported during Q2 2021.
That said, segment revenue and operating income grew versus the first quarter of the current fiscal year due to gameplay improvements and seasonal content made available across Call of Duty: Vanguard and Call of Duty: Warzone.
On October 28 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, in development with Infinity Ward, will be released. The nineteenth installment in the overall series is a direct sequel to 2019's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare which is the most successful Call of Duty title released to date.
It earned $600 million within its first three days of release and was the highest-selling game in the franchise during the current console generation. The game also set a record on PlayStation Network for highest digital pre-orders and saw the highest three-day digital sales ever on the console. It was also the best Call of Duty launch on PC, and by that December, it had earned $1 billion in revenue. By September 2020, the game had surpassed over 30 million copies sold.
Coming to PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, Activision said anticipation for Modern Warfare 2 is "high" and will lead the "most ambitious rollout yet" across the franchise. An all-new Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 experience is also in the works and will be tightly integrated with the premium game when it launches later this year. | https://www.vg247.com/activision-q2-declines-lower-engagement-in-call-of-duty | 2022-08-02T21:33:24Z | https://www.vg247.com/activision-q2-declines-lower-engagement-in-call-of-duty | true | 1 |
The co-chair of the "European Solidarity" faction, Iryna Herashchenko, denied the involvement of the police force in the bot farm exposed by the SBU, which, according to the investigation, spread fakes about the conflict between the Presidentʼs Office and the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny.
She wrote on her Facebook that the police force welcomes the work of the Ukrainian special services in combating hybrid information threats, but categorically denies any involvement in any bot farms.
She considers information from a number of mass media about the involvement of Eurosolidarity representatives to be a slander of a political force.
"We regard this as dishonesty and the fulfillment of a political order from the authorities. The sources referred to by the mass media deliberately misinform respected publications and involve them in dirty political provocation," Herashchenko said.
It requires publications to refute or remove the mention of "European Solidarity".
- On August 2, the SSU announced that it had liquidated a million of fake accounts, which was destabilizing the situation in Ukraine at the behest of one of the political forces — "Babel" sources claim that "European Solidarity" is involved in this.
- Another interlocutor of "Babel" in the SSU also confirms the involvement of "EU" and clarifies that the operation was implemented in the Department of Counterintelligence Protection of the State in the field of information security. Investigators are not releasing more information.
- According to the SSU, the bots distributed content about the "conflict between the leadership of the OP and the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces", and also conducted campaigns that discredited the first lady Elena Zelenska. The SSU states it has exposed the leader of the group, a Russian citizen who lived in Kyiv and positioned himself as a "political expert." His name is not mentioned, but it is indicated that he was in contact with a current MP "for work". | https://babel.ua/en/news/82367-the-political-order-european-solidarity-denies-involvement-in-the-fake-accounts-exposed-by-the-ssu | 2022-08-02T21:34:49Z | https://babel.ua/en/news/82367-the-political-order-european-solidarity-denies-involvement-in-the-fake-accounts-exposed-by-the-ssu | false | 1 |

An 18-year-old has been charged with the murder of a 16-year-old boy in Somerset.
Joshua Delbono, of Slipps Close, Frome, was charged with murder on Tuesday and remains in police custody ahead of appearing before Bath Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday.
Police and paramedics were called to a car park in The Street, Radstock, at around 6.40pm on Sunday after the 16-year-old had been stabbed during disorder involving a number of people.
The victim was found critically injured and, despite receiving emergency treatment, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Three other people have been arrested as part of the ongoing investigation into the teenager’s death.
A woman, 20, and a man were arrested on suspicion of murder, while another man was arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to murder.
The woman has now been released under investigation, while the two men, both 18, remain in police custody for further questioning.
Following the death, neighbourhood Chief Inspector Ronnie Lungu said the “terrible” incident had been a “huge shock” for the community.
He added: “We’re standing with our community to support this devastated family and everyone affected by this tragedy.”
DCI Mark Almond, of the Major Crime Investigation Team, said the 16-year-old’s family were being supported by a specially-trained family liaison officer.
“They’re grateful for the support of the community but ask to be given privacy to mourn their loss”, he added.
Avon and Somerset Police also said Year 11 pupils in the area were being offered support by school staff, while youth workers had set up a drop-in for any young person affected by the incident.

‘Wonder Woman’ review: Stunning super entertainment
PLOT A sheltered young woman on a remote island discovers she has powers beyond her imagining.
CAST Gal Gadot, Chris Pine, Danny Huston
RATED PG-13 (action violence)
LENGTH 2:21
BOTTOM LINE A knockout debut for Hollywood’s first major female superhero. Hugely entertaining.
“Not culturally encompassing or sensitive” is how Wonder Woman was described last year in a petition objecting to her new post as United Nations honorary ambassador. Her too-ample flesh and too-tiny suit concerned staffers who successfully pressured officials to remove the DC comics figure from her post. Now that the Warner Bros. movie has arrived, however, the UN might be having some regrets.
“Wonder Woman,” the first big-budget blockbuster devoted to a female superhero — and the first directed by a woman, Patty Jenkins — isn’t just a triumph for women, it’s a triumph, period. This is grand entertainment with rousing action, sparkling humor, a romantic streak and a titanium-strength debut from Gal Gadot in the title role. Sexy, yes, but also dignified and fearless, Wonder Woman punches through one stereotype after another as if it were the most natural thing in the world. This is the female-focused crowd-pleaser we’ve been waiting for.
The story begins on the ladies-only island of Themyscira, where young Diana (Lilly Aspell) yearns to train under Gen. Antiope (a war-scarred Robin Wright). Battle is in Diana’s blood: She was created as a dormant weapon against Ares, the god of war. We believe it, too, thanks to Gadot, who plays the adult Diana with the bearing of a Valkyrie and a touch of vulnerability. Diana hears her call to arms when an American soldier, Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), crash-lands in the ocean. He brings awful news: World War I has started.
From here, “Wonder Woman” rather beautifully manages to become multiple movies. It’s a fish-out-of-water comedy, with Diana navigating the chauvinist, corseted world of the early 1900s (she poses as Steve’s “secretary,” a nod to Wonder Woman’s rather egregious role in some early comics). It’s a love story in which Diana falls for Steve’s charm and sincerity. (Pine is tailor-made for the part.) And of course, it’s a superhero movie driven by Diana’s mission to destroy the German Gen. Ludendorff (Danny Huston) and his sinister scientist, Dr. Maru (Elena Anaya). The excellent script, by Allan Heinberg and others, even finds time to ruminate convincingly on the nature of man and war.
“Wonder Woman” feels a little overstuffed with characters (Ewen Bremner, Said Taghmaoui and Eugene Brave Rock play the multicultural rogues who join Diana’s fight) and the action scenes occasionally look obviously computerized. But these are quibbles. With this knockout debut, Wonder Woman seems poised to become the next great cinematic superhero of any gender. | https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/movies/wonder-woman-review-stunning-super-entertainment-f08297 | 2022-08-02T21:37:00Z | https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/movies/wonder-woman-review-stunning-super-entertainment-f08297 | true | 1 |
PHOENIX (AP) — Joe Arpaio, the 90-year-old former Phoenix metro sheriff who was ousted by voters frustrated with his headline-grabbing tactics and legal troubles, is attempting another political comeback as he runs for mayor of the affluent suburb where he has lived more than two decades.
The stakes for Arpaio in Tuesday’s election are far smaller than when he served as the top law enforcement officer for 4 million people as the six-term sheriff of Maricopa County.
Now he is trying to unseat Ginny Dickey, the two-term Democratic mayor of Fountain Hills, a Republican-heavy community of about 24,000 on the edge of Phoenix.
“My secret weapon has always been: Get to the people,” Arpaio said. “You sure need that to get elected in a small town.”
Dickey said that when she first learned Arpaio was running against her, she was unsure how his candidacy would affect the race. She ultimately concluded that it didn’t change it very much except that he has a fundraising advantage and notoriety and she did not change her campaigning.
“I believe I have run in the same way I always have,” Dickey said.
Nearly six years out of office, Arpaio acknowledged that it’s harder for him to get his political message out. But Arpaio rejects criticism that he should walk away from public life.
“I am still in good health, and I will keep fighting for what the people need,” Arpaio said. “It may be corny. What else is there?”
Arpaio was crushed by a Democratic challenger in 2016 after 24 years in office as sheriff and was convicted the next year of criminal contempt of court for disobeying a judge’s order to stop traffic patrols that targeted immigrants, though he was later pardoned by then-President Donald Trump.
Arpaio then finished third in a Republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat in 2018 and second in the GOP primary in a 2020 bid to win back the sheriff’s post.
In both of those attempts, Arpaio lost the vote in Fountain Hills.
Like Arpaio, Dickey is a longtime member of the community. She served previously on a school board and on the Fountain Hills Town Council.
Arpaio, a skilled political fundraiser who spent more than $12 million in his 2016 sheriff’s campaign, has shelled out $161,000 in the mayor’s race — six times the amount spent by Dickey.
Before the federal government and the courts stripped away his immigration powers, Arpaio led 20 large-scale traffic patrols that targeted immigrants and more than 80 business raids to bust people working in the United States without permission.
While his defiant streak played well with voters for many years, Arpaio faced heavy criticism for taking on policies that he knew were controversial and racking up $147 million in taxpayer-funded legal bills.
Though he billed himself as the toughest sheriff in America, his agency botched the investigations of more than 400 sex-crimes complaints made to his office.
Arpaio said he doesn’t worry about his past haunting him in the mayor’s race.
“All that baggage didn’t make a difference, except in 2016. But I had baggage in 2012 — big baggage,” Arpaio said. “And I got re-elected.” | https://www.wjbf.com/news/national/ap-us-news/arizonas-arpaio-tries-to-become-suburban-mayor-after-losses/ | 2022-08-02T21:40:01Z | https://www.wjbf.com/news/national/ap-us-news/arizonas-arpaio-tries-to-become-suburban-mayor-after-losses/ | false | 40 |
