London-born Alex Albon has signed a multi-year contract extension with Williams.
The 26-year-old, who spent last year on the sidelines after he was dropped by Red Bull, has steadily impressed since his transfer to the British team.
Albon scored his first point for Williams at the Australian Grand Prix in April, and finished ninth in Miami the following month.

Our number 23 stays for 2023 and beyond!@Alex_Albon commits his future, signing a multi-year contract 👊#WeAreWilliams pic.twitter.com/MJ4aMXoFZj
In a Williams press release, Albon said: “It’s really exciting to be staying with Williams Racing for 2023 and I look forward to seeing what we can achieve as a team in the remainder of this season and next year.
“The team is pushing hard to progress, and I am really motivated to continue this journey and further develop our learnings together.”
Albon, who races under the Thai flag because of his Kankamol’s nationality, also poked fun at Alpine’s announcement on Tuesday that their reserve driver Oscar Piastri would be racing for them next season – only for the Australian to say he was not.
Albon joked on social media: “I understand that, with my agreement, Williams Racing have put out a press release this afternoon that I am driving for them next year.
I understand that, with my agreement, Williams Racing have put out a press release this afternoon that I am driving for them next year. This is right and I have signed a contract with Williams for 2023. I will be driving for Williams next year.

“This is right and I have signed a contract with Williams for 2023. I will be driving for Williams next year.”
Albon made his Formula One debut for Toro Rosso in 2019 before being promoted to Red Bull after just 12 races.
But despite scoring two podiums, he finished 109 points and four championship places adrift of team-mate Max Verstappen and lost his race seat with the Milton Keynes team.
However, Williams handed him a second chance in the sport after he took close friend George Russell’s seat following his switch to Mercedes.
Williams’ team principal Jost Capito said: “Alex is a tremendous driver and valued member of Williams Racing, so we’re thrilled to be able to confirm we will be working with him on a long-term basis.
“Alex brings a great blend of skill and insightful learnings that will help bring the team greater success in the future.
“He’s a fierce competitor, has proved a popular and loyal team member and we are delighted that he will provide a stable base for us to continue to develop in this new F1 car era.” | https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/othersport/arid-40932596.html | 2022-08-03T15:50:13Z | https://www.irishexaminer.com/sport/othersport/arid-40932596.html | false | 1 |
Northwestern coach opens pipeline to LI
Here's one way to get a recruiting edge on Long Island, what Northwestern's six-time national women's lacrosse champion coach Kelly Amonte Hiller called "a mecca" for the sport.
"Well," she said, "my husband is from Long Island. Garden City."
For years, Hiller, who played on one of Maryland's 10 national championship teams in the 1990s, ran a summer lacrosse camp in Greenlawn. That, in fact, is where she first saw Shannon Smith, the comic book-like Northwestern superhero who repeatedly saves the day in close games.
With four goals in Sunday's 8-7 victory over Maryland in the NCAA title game, Smith was named tournament most valuable player.
Smith, a junior from West Babylon, once was one of Hiller's campers, "I don't know, when she was 8 or 9 years old," Hiller said. "And she was just like she is now. A terror. She could just take over a game and make plays, make things happen. She had this will, this will to win, and that's what made her an extremely attractive recruit. And luckily, I got a few other of her best friends to come here, too."
Smith, who made varsity at West Babylon in seventh grade, described herself as "a kid that couldn't sit still" and remembered that at Hiller's camp, "the coaches always were innovating things. Every year, I'd learn something different."
Though recruited by Georgetown, Notre Dame and North Carolina, "I always knew I wanted to go to Northwestern," she said.
"Sometimes when you build relationships with the kids when they're that young," Hiller said, "they look up to you and your players. It makes a big difference. And I just think the type of kid that comes out of here tends to like what we have to offer at Northwestern, so that's why we've been able to attract a lot of top athletes."
Long Islanders provided all the goals and the goaltending Sunday, and did so with hundreds of relatives and friends among the 8,011 in attendance at Stony Brook's LaValle Stadium. That visibility won't hurt future Northwestern recruiting here, nor the fact that the NCAA Division I Final Four will return to Stony Brook next year. | https://www.newsday.com/sports/college/northwestern-coach-opens-pipeline-to-li-g92396 | 2022-08-03T15:50:14Z | https://www.newsday.com/sports/college/northwestern-coach-opens-pipeline-to-li-g92396 | false | 1 |

If the thought of another glorious morning makes you sick, maybe you just need a little coffee. “Hocus Pocus” coffee, to be exact.
New Joffrey’s Disney Sanderson Sisters Brew is a medium roasted flavored coffee with notes of caramel apple and cinnamon. Joffrey’s says the limited edition blend will “transport you back to 1693” (the year the Sanderson Sisters were hanged for witchcraft) and thanks to the caffeine, should have you running amok (amok! amok!) even on your sleepiest mornings.
The Sanderson Sisters Brew is available on Joffrey’s website, and the coffee company plans to have it available in their Amazon store next week. And, if you’re lucky enough to be going to Walt Disney World this fall, you’ll also find it at the Joffrey’s location at Disney Springs The Landing.
If you want to pair your coffee with more Hocus Pocus fun, Kellogg’s just created a Disney Hocus Pocus 2 Cereal, which will hit store shelves this month.
Created to celebrate the release of the much-anticipated “Hocus Pocus 2” sequel hitting Disney+ on Sept. 30, a Kellogg’s spokesperson tells Simplemost the cereal features berry brew-flavored purple, orange, and yellow star-shaped pieces topped with green and purple flecks inspired by the Sanderson Sisters’ robes.
While these appear to be the first Sanderson Sisters-inspired breakfast treats, there’s previously been everything from “Hocus Pocus” wine to cupcakes, decorations and costumes. You can order a “Hocus Pocus” Frappuccino from Starbucks’ secret menu. There’s also a board game, dog toys, an inflatable lawn decoration and someone even made a Lego set based on the sisters’ house.
While you count down the days until “Hocus Pocus 2” hits the streaming service, you can brush up on the original film before the sequel comes out by grabbing the DVD for a few dollars, or rent it on Amazon Prime anytime. You can also check out the teaser trailer below:
If you’re not up for coffee with the Sanderson Sisters, Joffrey’s has a few other fall blends as well including Disney Not-So-Scary Pumpkin Brew, Disney Happy Harvest Blend and Disney Minnie Mouse Apple of My Pie.
Of course, pumpkin spice season is also right around the corner, so you’ll soon be able to find pumpkin-flavored everything. A few items like Coffee Mate Pumpkin Spice Creamer and Nestle Toll House Pumpkin Spice Cookie Dough are already in stores, with plenty of other goodies making their way to shelves soon, like Pumpkin Spice Oreo cookies, which will be in stores beginning Aug. 15.
Halloween treats are also beginning to hit shelves, like M&M’S Mad Scientist Mix, and you can already begin filling your home with fall and Halloween scents from Bath & Body Works.
Are you excited about Halloween?

Ipswich marine engineers chosen to lay piles for port's deep water berth
- Credit: Costain
A Suffolk marine construction crew is set to start work on a major piling job after scooping a £3.6m contract for a new deep water berth.
Ipswich-based Red7Marine will be working on the new 250m long facility - with a water depth of 12m at low tide - at Portland Port in Dorset. Once built, it will enable larger ships to dock at the port.
The team will install 136 tubular steel piles and sheet piles to create the structure. The crew will use Red7Marine's 1,000t jack-up barge Haven SeaChallenger to carry out the piling work.
The new berth will replace an existing 1978 island berth which was constructed from a suspended reinforced concrete deck on steel piles. The new facility will welcome larger cruise liners, Panamax bulk carriers and Royal Fleet Auxiliary vessels.
Red7Marine's jack-up barge has a bull rail on its port side. A pile gate system fitted to this will mean the crew can install the piles accurately and to the correct tolerance. Red7Marine is currently working with specialist engineering firm MintMech to design a piling gate for the project.
The operations team is readying Haven SeaChallenger for the project. It will be towed from its current position in Ramsgate in Kent around the coast to Portland towards the end of August.
Other Red7Marine vessels - the 400t Haven SeaSeven jack-up barge and the Haven SeaStabler - will be supporting operations.

Managing director Kristen Branford said: “This is an exciting project for the Red7Marine team to be involved with. We have a longstanding relationship with Portland Port, having constructed two large dolphins for the cruise berth extension back in 2017 with TMS and CMP Thames.
"We’re looking forward to using our Haven SeaChallenger for the piling. It is a 1,000t monohull jack-up barge built by Japanese manufacturer Nippon. It’s more than double the size of our previous largest jack-up.
"We’ll be starting on-site later this year and we are in conversations now with local contractors who will be supporting the project, such as workboat providers.
"This project is a great example of the turn-key service we offer our clients, providing bespoke marine access solutions utilising three of our own vessels, as well as carrying out the marine construction activities on-site.”
Portland Port's general manager landside Alex Hayes said the were looking forward to working once again with "trusted partners" including Red7Marine to deliver a successful project that will benefit the surrounding areas and industry for years to come.
“This is a key investment for the port and demonstrates our commitment to the continued development of our infrastructure," he said.
"This investment is driven by our need to meet the demand for the ever-increasing size of new vessels and with our existing infrastructure ageing, it has been an important time for us to develop these plans."
Construction work is due to begin in October at the end of the cruise season. The new berth will be operational by December 2023. | https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/business/red7marine-to-build-piles-at-portland-port-9185754 | 2022-08-03T15:53:39Z | https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/business/red7marine-to-build-piles-at-portland-port-9185754 | true | 1 |
Welcome to the second of my two articles on an eventful final week of July for US markets.
In part one (which you can read here), I previewed the US Federal Reserve’s 26-27 July meeting – at which policymakers raised interest rates, as expected, by 0.75 percentage points for the second month running – and I highlighted the key economic indicators to watch.
Today, in part two, I’m going to discuss a few potential trading ideas based on recent developments.
Rate rise triggers speculation
The Fed’s interest rate hike last week was met with a lot of speculative buying in the equities market. It also had an immediate impact on bond yields – just not in the direction one would expect. The initial move saw yields drop to roughly 2.6%.
Another key development last week was Thursday’s Q2 GDP update, which indicated that the US economy fell 0.9% year-on-year in the three months to the end of June. After two consecutive quarters of contraction – GDP shrank 1.6% in Q1 – the US is in a technical recession.
Though recessions are generally considered bad news, many investors interpreted it as a positive development on expectations that the Fed will step in to save the economy.
At time of writing on Tuesday, that expectation appeared to remain in place. In fact, there was some concern that long-term bond yields and the iShares 20 Plus Year Treasury Bond ETF [TLT] would begin to outperform the S&P 500 [SPY], potentially triggering an aberrant flight to safety in bonds.
Indeed, the jury remains out on the fate of TLT. Yields rose a bit on Tuesday, as shown in the chart below.
Meanwhile, the SPY rallied on better-than-expected earnings results. This was a move that I predicted, as I wrote last week that “should SPY hold 390 and move back up over last week’s highs around 400…we can anticipate a move up towards 417”.
As the chart below shows, SPY held 390, cleared 400 and on Monday reached an intraday high of 413.41, up from a high of 396.47 a week before. It didn’t quite reach 417, but came close.
Against the current geopolitical backdrop (Ukraine, Taiwan) and in light of hawkish statements from certain Fed members, SPY will have to hold above 405 to keep investors confident.
Tesla moves up a gear
My article on electric vehicle (EV) uptake, published two weeks ago, also turned out to be prescient. Ahead of Tesla’s [TSLA] Q2 earnings, I wrote that “the EV maker could surprise to the upside. A move over $765 could take the shares back to $900-950”.
Since that article appeared, Tesla’s share price, as shown in the chart below, has risen from $742.50 at the close on 20 July to $901.76 at yesterday’s close – a rise of 21.4% in a little under two weeks. On Monday, the stock reached an intraday high of $935.63 before falling back.
With resistance now at the 200-day moving average of around $900, there is a case to be made for taking at least partial profits.
But then what? Until the macroeconomic picture changes, it makes sense to approach TSLA, and indeed SPY, from a mean reversion trading perspective. In other words, to take advantage of this countertrend within a trend, it makes sense to take an active approach on the understanding that the moves we’ve seen could revert to their previous position.
Pay attention to sell signals
Looking again at the Tesla chart above, not only can we see resistance at the 200-day moving average, but we also note the position of the solid grey line, or the upper Bollinger Band, on price. When the price breaks back inside the Bollinger Band from an extremely high reading, that is a typical mean reversion sell signal.
Should the red dotted line of the Real Motion indicator fall below the dotted line, that too would indicate a mean reversion sell signal, or perhaps a place to sell any balance of profits. When both the price and Real Motion produce a signal in close succession, that can be an especially strong sign.
The same principles apply to the SPY chart. Speaking of mean reversion, if we look again at the TLT chart, above, we note that the price failed the Bollinger Band big time on Tuesday. The chart also shows that the red dotted line of the Real Motion indicator failed the momentum dashes.
Whether one sells bonds, goes short on indices or just takes profits and retreats to cash, one thing is certain – nothing about the macro landscape has changed. The economy is stagnating. The prices of real assets, such as commodities, remain high and the geopolitical situation remains precarious. Soaring temperatures in the northern hemisphere have brought home the impact of climate change. And if the Fed is not aggressive enough, we will see another leg-up in commodities and perhaps new lows in equities.
This is a trader’s market, which means it’s sensible to sell extreme rallies, buy extreme dips, and to stay nimble. Real assets will continue to matter most.

Olympic medalist facing criminal charges after disorderly conduct incident, police say
TOLEDO, Ohio (WTVG/Gray News) – An Olympic bronze medalist boxer from Toledo, Ohio, is facing three criminal charges after an incident Sunday morning.
According to a police affidavit obtained by WTVG, Oshae Jones was part of a large scene of people “participating in a course of disorderly conduct.”
Officers with the Toledo Police Department said Jones failed to obey their orders to leave the area and began resisting arrest by pulling away from officers as they were trying to handcuff her.
A spokesperson for the police department said no other information about the case will be released until an Internal Affairs investigation is complete.
The boxer pleaded not guilty to charges of resisting arrest, obstructing official business and failure to disperse Monday in Toledo Municipal Court. She is due back in court later this month.
Jones won a bronze medal in the welterweight division at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.

Blow to Glasgow
Warner Bros hangs up on Batgirl movie
Glasgow’s latest hopes of starring in a Hollywood blockbuster have been dashed after the new Batgirl movie, screened entirely in the city, was scrapped.
Warner Bros Discovery had planned to show the $70m production in cinemas and on the streaming service HBO Max this autumn.
But according to the New York Post a decision was taken to withdraw it following a poor reaction to test screenings. Warner Bros said it was because of a “strategic shift” by its new leadership.
It follows Warner Bros merger with Discovery in May 2021, with David Zaslav installed as its CEO. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Mr Zaslav has prioritised theatrical films rather than projects for streaming.
The film was based on the DC Comics character Batgirl, played by Leslie Grace. She appeared alongside Michael Keaton as Batman, Brendan Fraser as villain Firefly and JK Simmons as Commissioner James Gordon.
Filming ran from the end of last year until March after the producers were offered £150,000 by Glasgow City Council as an incentive to film in the area. This was not paid.
A spokesman for the local authority said the filming of Batgirl had brought a very significant economic benefit to the city – including 450 Glasgow-based crew jobs, about 1,300 Scottish supporting artists and many subcontractors working as tradespeople and in traffic management and security.
He added: “Any decision on the release of the production is very much a matter for Warner Bros. The £150,000 grant support has not been paid, and discussions continue with the producers.”
Warner Bros also confirmed that Scoob! Holiday Haunt would be scrapped
Other shows, including Full Frontal With Samantha Bee, The Last OG and Chad have been cancelled since the Warner Bros Discovery merger, while a DC Comics film of The Wonder Twins that was in development has also been canned. | https://dailybusinessgroup.co.uk/2022/08/warner-bros-hangs-up-on-batgirl-movie/ | 2022-08-03T16:12:02Z | https://dailybusinessgroup.co.uk/2022/08/warner-bros-hangs-up-on-batgirl-movie/ | true | 2 |

A sub-par display which surprised all connected with Rangers saw their chance of progression rest on overturning the deficit at Ibrox next Tuesday though van Bronckhorst’s team showed little of their capabilities and rarely troubled Anthony Moris in the home goal.
That led to criticisim for new signing Antonio Colak – branded a ‘waste of time’ by former Ibrox hero Mark Hateley – amongst widespread disappointment, but Rangers may be able to supplement their attack with the returning Colombian.
Morelos has been missing since suffering a thigh injury on international duty in March. He made an appearance at the club's open training session last week but the cinch Premiership kick-off came too early for his return.
Rangers are desperate for goals to shoot them into a play-off with either PSV Eindhoven or Monaco and van Bronckhorst admitted Morelos has a chance of making the second leg.
"I think that's realistic,” he admitted in the aftermath of his side’s Belgian struggle.
"He's been training with us for quite some time and is getting better and sharper every day. We also have him in the UEFA list for this round so hopefully he will continue and will be there next week.”
Ryan Kent also missed the trip after pulling up late at Livingston with hopes high he too could be ready for the return.
Van Bronckhorst added: “Ryan had a bad moment on Saturday when he had some problems with his ankle. Hopefully he will be better for Saturday or Tuesday.” | https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/rangers/rangers-boss-drops-alfredo-morelos-return-hint-as-champions-league-hopes-hang-in-balance-3792453 | 2022-08-03T16:14:30Z | https://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/rangers/rangers-boss-drops-alfredo-morelos-return-hint-as-champions-league-hopes-hang-in-balance-3792453 | true | 1 |
Motor racing-Williams retain Albon in multi-year deal beyond 2023
LONDON, Aug 3 (Reuters) - British-born Thai driver Alex Albon will be staying at Williams beyond next season on a multi-year agreement, the Formula One team said on Wednesday.
There was no word on his future team mate. The second seat is currently filled by Canadian Nicholas Latifi, with speculation he is likely to be replaced.
Williams had flagged up on social media they were making an announcement, with Formula One followers in a high state of excitement after a couple of bombshell driver moves in the last two days.
Australian Oscar Piastri, the youngster who was announced by Renault-owned Alpine as a 2023 driver on Tuesday and then publicly rejected the move, has also been linked to Williams.
"It´s really exciting to be staying with Williams Racing for 2023," Albon said in a statement. "I look forward to seeing what we can achieve as a team in the remainder of this season and next year."
Albon joined the Mercedes-powered team this year following a year out of Formula One after losing his seat at Red Bull.
The former champions are last in the standings after 13 races, with Albon scoring all three points so far. Latifi is the only driver on the grid who has yet to score.
"Alex is a tremendous driver and valued member of Williams Racing, so we´re thrilled to be able to confirm we will be working with him on a long-term basis," said Williams principal Jost Capito.
"Alex brings a great blend of skill and insightful learnings that will help bring the team greater success in the future.
"He´s a fierce competitor, has proved a popular and loyal team member and we are delighted that he will provide a stable base for us to continue to develop in this new F1 car era."

Conor McGregor will star alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in a remake of the classic film Road House as the UFC star prepares to make his Hollywood debut.
The former two-weight world champion has long been expected to follow Ronda Rousey in swapping the cage for the big screen and has been convinced that now is the time. Road House, originally released in 1989 starring Patrick Swayze, tells the story of a former UFC fighter (Gyllenhaal) who takes a job as a bouncer in Florida.
It is not clear what part McGregor will play but it is understood he will not feature as himself. Filming is due to start shooting in the Dominican Republic later this month which will bring into question when McGregor plans to return to the UFC. He has not fought since breaking his leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier last summer.
The Irishman is expected to remain sidelined until the new year having won just one fight since 2016, a 40-second demolition of Donald Cerrone in 2020. A spokesperson for the 35-year-old said: “Conor McGregor is very excited to expand his storied career to Hollywood and join with Jake Gyllenhaal in this reimagining of Road House, a beloved classic. While fighting remains his top focus, this is the beginning of another successful venture in the McGregor empire. He is eager to get started filming.”
McGregor had been due to make his film debut in xXx: The Return of Xander Cage but pulled out following his defeat by Nate Diaz in 2016. He was eventually replaced by fellow former UFC champion Michael Bisping with Vin Diesel saying: "I had created a role for Conor McGregor, and after he lost to Nate Diaz, he had to go to a dark place, he had to go get his manhood back to fight the second time, so he wasn't able to do this film at the time."
Will Conor McGregor return to the UFC? Let us know in the comments section below
The Road House remake, which will stream on Amazon Prime, will be directed by Doug Liman. “I’m thrilled to put my own spin on the beloved Road House legacy," he said. "And I can’t wait to show audiences what Jake and I are going to do with this iconic role."
Producer Joel Silver added: "The original Road House has a special place in my heart and I am so excited to bring this newly imagined version to audiences around the world. Doug and I have each made some big, boisterous action movies and are ready to bring everything we have to this one."

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- "The conventional practice of changing fishing line is tedious, lengthy and a little challenging to do correctly," said an inventor from Dearborn Heights, Mich., "so I invented the REEL LINE CARTRIDGE SNAP-ON which will make fishing much faster for putting a new line reel line on and much more enjoyable. It will also save the time and effort associated with having to remove the line from the reel, which can be messy as well as a hassle having to find something to put the old line on."
The invention quickly loads fishing line onto a reel, eliminating having to tie the free end of a new supply of fishing line to an empty reel. This reduces the risk of the line becoming tangled or knotted during the loading process. Easy to use, convenient, and versatile, the REEL LINE CARTRIDGE SNAP-ON is ideal for fisherman who must frequently change lines, or for beginners who are learning what types of line should be used. It saves time and effort and could be offered with fishing lines of different test weights for different fishing applications.
The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.

How Chinese people descended on South Africa in 1660s
Chinese people descended on South Africa as political prisoners in the 1660s.
This is documented in the book Colour, Confusion, and Concession's .
Lester Kiewit spoke to the author of the book, Melanie Yap, and Cape Talk's producer, Bruce Hong about the subject.
Yap's book details the history of how Chinese people came to South Africa.
Today, China and South Africa enjoy bilateral relations under BRICS - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - nations comprising major emerging economies.
Hong said that his mother migrated to South Africa after harsh living conditions in China, in the 1950s.
This was after the Chinese Communist Party leader Mao Zedong came to power.
The Chinese have been here, pretty much shortly after Jan Van Riebeek arrived and set up the refreshment stations in the Cape Colony, that dates back in the 1660’s.
Melanie Yap, author - Colour, Confusion, and Confessions
We are looking basically at political prisoners that were sent out from Batavia, which is today, Java. This was when the Dutch-East-India company was running the refreshment stations and the Cape as a penal colony, so they were prisoners from Batavia and were exiled to Cape to serve hard labour terms.
Melanie Yap, author - Colour, Confusion, and Confessions
I am a first-generation South African, my parents arrived separately from China, and they were seeking a better life in the 1950s and that was when the communists, under Mao Zedong, were in full force there and there were famines, destitution and [people] were seeking a better life.
Bruce Hong, producer - Cape Talk
My mom and her aunt, my grandfather’s sister, came together. They first went from China down to Hong Kong as illegal immigrants, made [it] to Macau, took a ship and from there smuggled their way to Durban illegally.

Democratic politicians are pushing a blood libel, claiming that Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed by the IDF and demanding the US government act.
On Thursday, the relatives of Shireen Abu Akleh held a press conference along with several anti-Israel members of Congress.
The first politician to speak was Representative Andre Carson of Indiana.
He said, “I believe that this was an attack on the Fourth Estate, the Free Press, which is vitally important to our society. You know we need answers to hold the perpetrators fully accountable. From day one, the Israeli Government has denied Shireen’s murder. There is no reason for them to be conducting an investigation. You may not like that. But that’s the truth. It makes it more important for our government to conduct our own investigation.”
“Shireen needs justice. Every American killed abroad is entitled to our protection. Every human killed, American or not, deserves justice, Palestinians included. Black folks included. “
Rashida Tlaib (MICH-D) also blamed Israel.
“When Americans are killed abroad, it is more or less standard procedure for our government to open an investigation. But when the murders wear Israeli uniforms, there’s complete silence. “
It should be noted that no independent forensic evidence-based investigation has arrived at any conclusion.
New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted: “The Abu Akleh family deserves accountability. CNN, NYT, etc., found Shireen was shot by an Israeli sniper while wearing a press vest. Yet, the U.S. has done nothing. We didn’t even conduct a thorough investigation into this murder of an American reporter. President Biden must act.”
The reports cited by AOC were criticized for being seriously flawed and biased. CAMERA, a media watchdog site, described CNN’s report as a “farce,” ignoring most of the relevant facts and relying on “biased eyewitness accounts.” CAMERA was even more critical of the LA Times report, which claimed the Israeli government was involved.
An absurd report by The Daily Star compared “Palestine” to Ukraine, which has been brutally invaded by Russia.
Similar reports by the Associated Press, Agence France Presse, and The Guardian were all retracted and amended.
AOC’s claim that a thorough investigation has not been carried out is accurate but deceptive. The Palestinian Authority refused to participate in any investigation by foreign bodies. The PA refused to allow any inspection of the bullet (necessary for any forensic analysis of the incident), and when they finally did, leading physicist and ballistic expert Nahum Shahaf concluded that the bullet had been intentionally disfigured.
Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar also tweeted: “We won’t stop fighting for justice and accountability for the family of Shireen Abu Akleh.”
Similarly, Illinois Congresswoman Marie Newman tweeted: “I was honored to stand with the family of Shireen Abu Akleh and echo their demands for #JusticeforShireen.
“I am outraged that there still has not been an independent, US-led investigation of her death. I joined my colleagues to demand immediate action.”
A group of Senate Democrats presented legislation last week that called for State Department funding to Israel to be blocked if an investigation finds that Israeli forces committed human rights violations or war crimes related to the killing of
The push by Democratic lawmakers was echoed by the White House. In a phone call on Saturday, US Secretary of State Tony Blinken pressed Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz to publish the final conclusions of the Israeli military operational investigation into the killing of Abu Akleh as soon as possible. Gantz assured Blinken that the investigation’s final results will be published “within a few weeks,” adding that the army had only announced the “preliminary investigation” results which concluded that “it was not possible” to determine who shot Abu Akleh.
After carrying out their own investigation, the Biden administration said that the results were “inconclusive,” adding the unsubstantiated claim that “Abu Akleh was probably killed by unintentional Israeli fire.”
Either intentionally or not, Biden himself was used as a figurehead to condemn Israel for the killing of Abu Akleh. When the US president met with PA President Mahmoud Abbas on July 15, the meeting took place before a large photograph of the late journalist, in front of journalists wearing Abu Akleh t-shirts and in the presence of her family. He pledged “to stand up for media freedom everywhere in the world,” implying that Israel had denied that freedom.
It is disturbing to note that Abu Akleh’s death came in the wake of a wave of Palestinian terrorism in which 19 Israelis were murdered. Abu Akleh was killed during an IDF incursion intended to root out the terrorist network in Jenin. The Palestinian terrorists who engaged the IDF were illegally armed with automatic weapons. Disturbingly, the Democratic lawmakers never commented on those murders. | https://www.israel365news.com/273077/blood-libel-on-capitol-hill-tlaib-squad-accuse-israel-of-murdering-reporter-despite-zero-evidence/ | 2022-08-03T16:28:43Z | https://www.israel365news.com/273077/blood-libel-on-capitol-hill-tlaib-squad-accuse-israel-of-murdering-reporter-despite-zero-evidence/ | true | 1 |
A missing woman from Coquitlam, B.C., was found dead on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside late last month, police say.
Kwem Manuel-Gottfriedson's body was found in a building near East Hastings Street and Hawks Avenue on July 30, the Vancouver Police Department told CTV News Vancouver in an emailed statement.
"BC Coroner Service is investigating cause of death and VPD's Major Crime Section is investigating the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and death," the VPD said.
Posters circulated on social media about the missing woman said she was 25 years old and Indigenous. The posters said she was last seen in Coquitlam and that her phone's last location was near the Astoria Hotel.
"We are in contact with Kwem's family and have been providing them investigative updates," the VPD said.
Manuel-Gottfriedson was found a block away from where a missing Port Coquitlam teen's body was found in May. Noelle O'Soup was missing for nearly a year before she was found and police called that case "concerning" and "unusual."
There are no indications the two cases are connected. | https://bc.ctvnews.ca/missing-woman-found-dead-on-vancouver-s-downtown-eastside-major-crimes-investigating-1.6012483 | 2022-08-03T16:29:00Z | https://bc.ctvnews.ca/missing-woman-found-dead-on-vancouver-s-downtown-eastside-major-crimes-investigating-1.6012483 | false | 1 |
GROWING up with big boobs can subject you to unnecessary criticism, objectification, and sexualization.
TikToker Gabrielle Marcellus is attempting to change the stigma surrounding women with larger chests by encouraging women to stop feeling ashamed.
Every curve, every element, and every feature of a woman's body is representative of their natural self.
Yet women are often made to feel embarrassed, out of place, or fearful of expressing confidence in their bodies.
Body activist and TikTok creator Gabrielle has had enough.
In her recent video, she opens up about what it has been like to have big boobs and how her feelings have shifted.
Growing up, Gabrielle felt forced to cover her body.
She got her first bra at nine years old, so from a young age, she already had a bigger chest than most girls.
"Girls always thought I was stuffing my bra," she says.
"I had to be really careful about the things that I wore...I grew up in a really Christian, conservative household too, so I wasn't allowed to wear purses that went across my body because it would accentuate me having boobs," she adds.

Gabrielle was constantly conscious of certain clothing items she could or could not wear.
At school, this was especially difficult as she not only had to worry about what other people were saying or thinking, but she could also get in trouble with the administration.
"I was always taught to be really ashamed of my boobs, and people all the time would tell me I had to cover up," she says.
Girls with smaller chests were allowed to wear v-neck shirts to school, but she was not.
Gabrielle expresses how she is sick of following these rules surrounding her body and how she should feel about it.
On TikTok, she has focused her content on giving fashion advice to bigger-chested women.
Gabrielle has been working to show off her own body more proudly and confidently.
But this has proven to be difficult for her.
"I feel like it's so hard to show your boobs off without people thinking you're not respecting yourself. Why should I be ashamed of my body just because other people perceive it in a sexual and objectifying way," she says.
However, when she stops to think about recent responses people have given her, some of their reactions are different from the negative thoughts in her head.
"I've always been so ashamed of them, and then every time I show them off, I get told how beautiful I am," Gabrielle admits.
Viewers proved that Gabrielle is not alone in how she has felt and continues to feel.
One woman commented: "Girl thank you so much because I struggle with this so much and I’m discovering to love them and love me."
"Literally!! I’m so tired of the reactions when I wear a bathing suit and everyone realizes what I was hiding under my hoodies all of high school," another wrote. | https://www.thesun.ie/fabulous/9198115/big-boob-struggles/ | 2022-08-03T16:32:56Z | https://www.thesun.ie/fabulous/9198115/big-boob-struggles/ | false | 4 |
Listen to the #UpNow Playlist HERE Featuring the Rising, Ghanaian Artist
NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, artist-first music streaming platform Audiomack announced that it has tapped rising Ghanian artist Black Sherif as its latest #UpNow artist.
#UpNow is Audiomack's emerging artist program that highlights what's next up in culture by spotlighting and promoting the next generation of global music superstars. Black Sherif will be featured on the cover of Audiomack's prestigious #UpNow playlist and will receive amplification across the platform's channels with specialized marketing, editorial, social support, playlisting, custom videos and more.
"I'm excited to be an Audiomack #UpNow artist," Black Sherif said. "I've had Audiomack since high school. It was the first platform that I used and convinced my friends to listen to my music. It was easier, and it looked professional. It's been the primary thing for me to connect with my fans and share music."
"We're thrilled to have Black Sherif as our next #UpNow artist," Audiomack SVP of Marketing and Brand Strategy Jason Johnson said. "We have been fans of him since his first upload on the platform in 2020 and it is amazing to see his growth over the last two years. We look forward to collaborating with his team to help showcase his talent, expand his brand and further introduce his music to a diverse array of fans."
Recently crossing the 100 million global streams milestone on the platform, Sherif's lean but mighty discography captures his hustler's tale. His first upload was in August 2020, but he broke with viral 2021 hit "First Sermon," giving us the "Second Sermon" later that year. In December 2021, Sherif's star rose even further when Burna Boy hopped on the "Second Sermon" remix.
In March 2022, Sherif released his most introspective song yet, "Kwaku The Traveller." Cutting and poignant storytelling helped "Kwaku The Traveller" garner over 35 million streams, making it the most-streamed song of 2022 so far on Audiomack and Black Sherif's biggest hit to date. He also received major acknowledgement from DJ Khaled, who posted the Ghanian artist's latest single on his Instagram and heralded it as a "big chune."
Audiomack's #UpNow program has been renowned for helping identify and uplift the new generation of emerging artists across hip-hop, R&B, AfroBeats and more. Previous #UpNow honorees include Rod Wave, EST Gee, Blxst, Pooh Shiesty, Sheff G, Omah Lay and Ayra Starr, among others.

Audiomack, which launched in 2012, currently reaches more than 20 million monthly users globally.

DENVER (KDVR) – Kenny Chesney has responded to news of a fan dying near the end of his concert in Denver on Saturday, saying he was “devastated to learn of the loss.”
The woman, whose identity was not released, had died after falling from an escalator at Empower Field, landing on the concourse below, according to the Denver Police Department. Officials said the woman had been sitting on the escalator’s railing before she fell.
The incident is being investigated as an accidental death.
The management of Denver’s Empower Field — officially Empower Field at Mile High — released a statement on Sunday afternoon, offering condolences to the woman’s family.
“We extend our deepest sympathies to the loved ones of the woman involved in the tragic incident that occurred at the end of Saturday’s concert at Empower Field at Mile High,” the stadium’s management said. “There is nothing more important than the safety of our guests, and Stadium Management Company is in communication with the Denver Police Department as it investigates this unfortunate situation.”
A representative for Chesney directed Nexstar to a statement he shared with the Denver Post, in which Chesney said he was grieving along with the woman’s loved ones.
“I was devastated to learn of the loss of someone after our show,” Chesney told the outlet. “There had been so much joy, so much heart coming from the people of Denver last night — and to hear this is heartbreaking. Life is precious. Sharing music brings us together and that love we share makes us so much more. For the lady who came to share that love, there are no words. For her friends and family’s loss, I grieve with them and for them.”
The Denver coroner’s office will determine the official cause of death and release the identity of the woman when the examination is complete, police said.
Chesney’s next concert is scheduled for Aug. 6, 2022, in Minneapolis. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/kenny-chesney-devastated-after-woman-at-denver-concert-dies-from-fall-at-venue/ | 2022-08-03T16:38:00Z | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/national-news/kenny-chesney-devastated-after-woman-at-denver-concert-dies-from-fall-at-venue/ | false | 24 |
Kinzinger: Subpoena of ex-White House counsel ‘probably bad’ for Trump
By Veronica Stracqualursi, CNN
Former White House counsel Pat Cipollone having been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury is “probably bad” for former President Donald Trump, Rep. Adam Kinzinger, one of the two Republicans serving on the House select committee investigating January 6, 2021, said Wednesday.
Kinzinger told CNN’s Brianna Keilar on “New Day” that the subpoena likely signals that the Justice Department’s investigation has a “very deep interest” in what Trump did.
“I hope Pat Cipollone actually just tells the truth. I have no doubt that he hasn’t. But there is no reason to protect particularly criminal behavior, what could potentially be criminal behavior behind executive privilege,” the Illinois Republican said. “So we’ll see where this goes. But there is no doubt that this investigation has developed further along than where we even knew it was or thought it was a few months ago.”
CNN reported Tuesday that the former White House counsel had been subpoenaed by a federal grand jury investigating efforts to overturn the 2020 election, according to a source familiar with the matter. The revelation marks a significant escalation in the department’s probe into the plots to subvert the 2020 election.
Cipollone and his attorneys are in discussions about an appearance before the grand jury, including how to deal with executive privilege issues, the source said.
“I think in terms of their negotiations, obviously the Justice Department knows better what they can go around when it comes to saying executive privilege. And so I hope they, you know, go at that judiciously,” Kinzinger said.
Cipollone testified last month in a closed-door interview with the January 6 committee, and in its seventh public hearing, the panel played clips where he agreed with other Trump officials that there was insufficient evidence of election fraud and said that he believed Trump should have conceded the election.
Kinzinger declined to get into details Wednesday of whether the January 6 committee and the Justice Department are cooperating related to Cipollone’s testimony to the panel.

Ian Bailey says he was the victim of "a verbal and offensive tirade" in Schull Country Market last Sunday. He told Cork Beo he has since lodged a formal complaint to the Gardaí over the incident.
Bailey said he was 'shocked' when he realised that he was being shouted at, telling Cork Beo: "I was in the market Sunday last, when I became aware that I was being verbally abused."
The former journalist said that the issue was not just about his own personal feelings - but that he was taking a stand against this kind of behaviour and letting people know he will not put up with it.
"I am just sending out a message I will not tolerate abuse," he said.
Bailey said this type of behaviour is something he is used to from people online through social media, and that he's normally able to ignore it. He described it as an extremely rare occurrence for it to happen in such a public place. He is a relatively visible presence in West Cork and is regularly seen at local farmers' markets.
Bailey has seen his own profile rise again recently as the murder of Sophie Toscan du Plantier has been the subject of two major documentaries and a globally popular podcast. He has always vehemently denied any involvement in the murder.
The West Cork resident was convicted for the murder in his absence in a French court but has successfully fought any attempts by the French authorities to extradite him.
He's always maintained his innocence and had written to Garda Commissioner Drew Harris recently asking that the case be looked at again.
Bailey is currently waiting for Gardaí to investigate whether or not the person he says abused him at the weekend has broken the law. He says he will consider his possible further action once his complaint has been dealt with by the Gardai.

Neonatal doctor who tried to hire a hitman on the dark web to kidnap and torture his wife in a sordid plot to make her take him back is set to strike a deal with the prosecution
- Dr. Ronald Ilg, 55, previously pleaded not guilty to a slew of charges including cyberstalking, witness tampering and attempted kidnapping
- He's accused of trying to hire hitmen on the dark web to attack a former co-worker and torture his estranged wife into taking him back
- As recently as 2019, Ilg was a physician who was treating infants as the chief medical director at a multi-state neonatology group in the north west
- His life began to fall apart in the spring of 2019 after co-workers filed behavior complaints against him and he was fired from his job in December 2020
- All the while, Ilg was having a BDSM affair with a mistress that involved a sex-slave contract signed in blood and a sex-dungeon bunker on his property
The neonatal doctor charged with hiring hitmen on the dark web to maim a co-worker and kidnap and torture his estranged wife in a plot to win her back is expected to strike a deal with federal prosecutors next week.
Dr. Ronald Ilg, 55, of Spokane, Washington, previously pleaded not guilty to a slew of charges including cyberstalking, witness tampering, and attempted kidnapping.
Last week, his attorney, Carl Oreskovtich, inquired as to whether a court would soon be available if defense and prosecution could reach an agreement. A change of plea hearing is not scheduled for next Wednesday.
As recently as 2019, Ilg was a physician who treated infants as the chief medical director at a multi-state neonatology group in the northwest.
Dr. Ronald Ilg, 55, of Spokane, Wash., previously pleaded not guilty to a slew of charges including but not limited to cyberstalking, witness tampering, and attempted kidnapping
But his life began to fall apart in the spring of 2019, after co-workers filed behavior complaints against him and he was fired from his job in December 2020.
The previous spring his wife had filed for divorce, and after he lost his job he became erratic and obsessive, harassing her in an effort to win her back despite multiple restraining orders.
All the while Ilg was having a BDSM affair with a mistress, which involved a sex-slave contract signed in blood and a sex-dungeon bunker buried on his property.
In the months after he was fired, prosecutors allege Ilg tried pay hitmen on the dark web over $50,000 to give a 'significant beating' to a former co-worker and to kidnap his wife and inject her with heroin until she agreed to drop divorce proceedings and return to him.
Ilg was connected to the solicitations and transactions - which he conducted under the username Scar215 - by a team of British journalists investigating dark web activity. He was arrested in April 2021.
Ilg's alleged dark web solicitation for a hitman to kidnap and torture his estranged wife into returning to him
A user named Scar215 posted on a dark web murder-for-hire website in February of 2020. The user requested that somebody break into a woman's home to deliver a 'significant beating' to her, specifically asking they 'injure both hands significantly or break the hands.'
Scar215 said about $2,000 in Bitcoin had been placed in an escrow account and would be paid out upon completion of the attack.
Though the job was seemingly unfulfilled, a month later Scar215 posted another request on the same website asking for the kidnapping and torture of a woman.
Texts from Ilg's mistress expressing fear that he would hire a hitman to kill her, too. She had previously discovered his messages on the dark web about hiring someone to kidnap his wife
'The target destroyed two families and walked away as if she did nothing,' the post read, 'I want the target kidnapped for 7 days. While being held, she will be given injections of heroin at least two times per day. She will be taught to do it herself and pics and videos of her doing on her own should be collected.'
The request goes on to say 'all means necessary' must be done to get her to drop all her court proceedings, return to her family, and promise to tell nobody about the kidnapping.
'She should be told that her families health, including her father and her kids, depend on her completing these rules. It would be unfortunate if her older boy became addicted to heroin. Or her dad be severely beaten or her dog be slaughtered.'
The requested listed Ilg's wife's name and address as the intended target. Scar215 offered $55,000 in Bitcoin for the job.
For years, Ilg lived a seemingly normal life. He was a successful neonatologist, ran for a local school board while calling himself a 'moderate conservative,' and divorced his first wife and married a second with whom he had a son in 2018.
But in 2019, two co-workers at his office filed behavioral claims against him, one saying he had harassed them and another complaining about his scheduling practices.
Though Ilg denied the claims - the specifics are unclear - whispers began to spread throughout his office. According to the Daily Beast, employees were so revolted by the claims many said they felt they couldn't look Ilg in the eye; rumors that he was bringing a gun into the office began to swirl.
The doctor was asked resign from his job but refused to. He was subsequently fired.
After losing his job, Ilg became increasingly erratic. He had already placed tracking devices on his wife's phone and car - which he told her were for her protection - and tried to force her into sex by threatening to take away her possessions, but now he began harassing her with texts begging her to return to him, and would stake her out at work and offer to pay her to drop divorce proceedings.
'Ron is spiraling and continues to get worse, to where now he is threatening to come to my home despite my opposition,' she wrote in a restraining order application in December, 'This has to stop.'
Ilg responded to the restraining order proceedings by saying he was in a 'raw emotional state' from the recent tumult in his life, and that he would leave his wife alone. Despite that promise, he soon sent her a letter professing his love.
'I do love you, more than words can describe, more than actions can show,' he wrote, 'Every fiber of my body, every ounce of my life energy calls out for you.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11077017/Doctor-tried-hire-hitman-kidnap-torture-wife-strike-deal-prosecution.html | 2022-08-03T16:42:40Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11077017/Doctor-tried-hire-hitman-kidnap-torture-wife-strike-deal-prosecution.html | true | 2 |

Twenty-seven years ago, Ron Howard's “Apollo 13” saluted men with the right stuff — quiet courage and grace under pressure. This summer, he's returned to that magic number for a similar rescue tale but traded the vastness of space for a film deep underground.
“Thirteen Lives” is a dramatization of what happened in July 2018 when 12 boys and their football coach were trapped in a flooded limestone cave in Thailand for several weeks. Like his space flick, it will take a lot of on-the-fly can-do to get them out.
This particular cave rescue is natural fodder for drama: A group of cave-diving hobbyists from Europe alongside Thai Navy SEALS and hundreds of farmers, engineers and helpers came together for a happy ending — all the boys and their coach survived. (That's a spoiler if you've been in a literal cave for the past four years.) "Thirteen Lives'' is available Friday on Prime Video.
There's already been a cracking documentary — “The Rescue” from the “Free Solo” Oscar-winning filmmaking team of E. Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, who used body-cam footage of the rescue — and a Netflix six-part mini series that debuts in September.
Each of those has a focus — “The Rescue” explores how two slightly odd middle-aged British men became central to the operation, and the upcoming Netflix series will tell the tale from the perspective of the trapped kids.
Howard and screenwriter William Nicholson have admirably widened the scope to include everything from the frantic families and religious figures to the governor, as well as how a water engineer helped the rescue effort by diverting rainfall away from the cave and the farmers who sacrificed their crops to flooding.
The overall effect is a more inclusive storytelling — no white savior narrative, great — but the cost is a flattening of the narrative. There are pockets of diffusive heroes everywhere — no bad guys at all, unless you want to blame the rain — and that means a lack of tautness or through-line. Neither the divers nor kids, government officials nor families and volunteers really come into focus, staying as murky as the miles of submerged cave.
There is also some clunky dialogue and daft Hollywoodization, like the heavy use of cellos when things get dramatic and the appearance of slo-mo ambulances. “This could be a long night,” the governor says out loud at the beginning of the crisis, a line unlikely to have ever been uttered at the time. And international film stars Viggo Mortensen, Joel Edgerton and Colin Farrell try hard to be straight-shooting, unglamorous biscuit-eating cave enthusiasts.
“I have zero interest in dying,” Mortensen announces in dialogue that could be ripped from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Farrell has his own: When rescuers debate various rescue solutions, he opines, “Crazy is better than nothing and we've got nothing.”
The film gets better once viewers submerge into the flooded cavern and Howard can rely on production designer Molly Hughes and director of photographer Sayombhu Mukdeeprom. Here you can hear the hiss of respirators, the clunk of metal cylinders on rock and divers pushing through tight spaces, a camera impossibly close. Much of the film was shot in Australia, not Thailand.
The very heart of the film is the rather insane-brilliant idea to heavily drug the children before pulling them out, essentially turning each into an inert, pliable weight to be yanked and frequently re-sedated over the several hours spent getting them out. “They're packages and we're just the delivery guys,” one rescuer says.
That makeshift, off-the-cuff solution-finding means the difference between life and death and is also what kept animating Howard's “Apollo 13.” Unfortunately, this time underground, he just seems like the delivery guy. Our advice: Fire up the documentary instead.
“Thirteen Lives,” a Metro Goldwyn Mayer Pictures release, is rated PG-13 for “some strong language and unsettling images.” Running time: 147 minutes. Two stars out of four.

A man has appeared in court accused of murdering his partner who is believed to have fallen from a flat near Wembley Stadium.
Emergency services were called in the early hours of Friday July 29 following reports that a woman had fallen from a height.
Police attended the scene in London Road, Wembley, north-west London, along with the London Ambulance Service and London Air Ambulance.
Despite their efforts, 39-year-old Kathleen John died at the scene.
The precise cause of her death has yet to be determined.
However, a pathologist has identified bruises to the head and face as well as significant injuries consistent with a heavy fall, including multiple fractures, the Old Bailey heard.
On the night of her death, Ms John was allegedly in the top floor flat of a three-storey block on London Road with her partner Leonidas Georgalla.
Mr Georgalla was arrested and charged over her death on Saturday July 30.
On Wednesday, Mr Georgalla (50) appeared at the Old Bailey accused of the murder of Ms John.
The defendant was represented by a solicitor for the brief hearing before Judge Michael Kay QC.
A plea and case management hearing was set for October 19, with a provisional two-week trial from July 3, 2023.
The defendant, of Weald Lane, Harrow, north-west London, was remanded into custody. | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/europe/britain/man-in-court-over-death-of-woman-near-wembley-stadium-41887617.html | 2022-08-03T16:50:46Z | https://www.independent.ie/world-news/europe/britain/man-in-court-over-death-of-woman-near-wembley-stadium-41887617.html | false | 2 |
Kasese, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The National Water and Sewerage Corporation-NWSC has identified River Kyanzutsu in Kasese district as an additional source of water to address water scarcity in Kasese municipality and surrounding areas.
The municipality has been facing a scarcity of water for the past three months. The NWSC Manager for Kasese, Peter Ebwaat is hopeful that the new water source will produce about 4 million liters daily of the minimum required 5 million liters to consumers in Kasese town and its surroundings.
Ebwaat attributes the water shortage to the severe dry spell that has seen a sharp fall of water volumes in major rivers.
Ebwati says that the water supply has reduced by nearly half from 3700 cubic meters in the last three months to less than 2400 cubic meters per day. One cubic meter is equivalent to a thousand liters.
NWSC has also put up interventions including the construction of the Kasese-Kihalimu hill water reservoir and the construction of a booster station at Tamangalo in Kasese municipality.
Moses Kule, a resident of Kilembe quarter says it is about a month that the area is experiencing unstable water supply with water mainly coming at night while the taps remain dry during the day.
He says that the inconsistencies in the water supply have caused the prices of water to shoot up to between 800 and 1,200 Shillings for a 20-liter jerrican which most people cannot afford.

Millions of inaccurate Equifax credit scores sent to lenders
(Gray News) - A tech issue is to blame for millions of faulty credit scores being served up to Americans looking for a loan.
Equifax admits inaccurate data was sent out during a three-week period earlier this year, between March 17 and April 6.
These false credit scores resulted in some people getting higher interest rates and others being denied.
Officials at Equifax said the coding issue that caused the problem is now resolved.
In a press release, Equifax claimed the bad information only resulted in a “small number” receiving a different credit decision.
“Our data shows that less than 300,000 consumers experienced a score shift of 25 points or more. While the score may have shifted, a score shift does not necessarily mean that a consumer’s credit decision was negatively impacted. We are collaborating with our customers to determine the actual impact to consumers,” the company said.
Equifax handles credit information for more than 200 million consumers in the U.S.
In 2017 Equifax was hacked, resulting in the leak of sensitive data for close to 150 million Americans.

Folk Festival review: a feast of fun and entertainment on Sunday
Delia Pemberton and Paul Strange
- Credit: Paul Strange
The Sidmouth Horse Trials, held at Port Royal, is one of the festival’s silliest events, and so was the perfect place to start our Sunday walkabout. The Trials began as a contest for the masked and skirted 'Hobby Horses' that often accompany dance teams; however, the recent proliferation of species has led a new collective term – 'Beasts of Disguise'.
And indeed, there was a veritable menagerie competing for the coveted Aardman Award, sponsored by Aardman Animations. Apart from the horses (including a clothes horse), there were sheep, a zebra, a seagull, an owl and even a dinosaur – hats off to eight-year-old Edward the Talkosaurus.
Entrants had to complete a course that involved jumping over a broomstick, showing off their best dance steps and demonstrating their special skills: playing the whistle, blowing bubbles, and in the case of the Talkosaurus... talking! But there could only be one winner, and in the end Betley The Wonder Horse took the prize thanks to her secret weapon – her cute-as-a-button mini-me Little Betley!
Next up at Port Royal was a performance by the ever-hilarious Sidmouth Mummers, always a must-see on our festival checklist. In a new twist on the traditional tale, the cast list had expanded to include Nelson, King Charles (or was it King George?), Napoleon, Father Christmas, William of Orange and a camel, plus St George (fresh from last year’s victory over the Coronavirus monster) and the Turkish Knight.
The Doctor was also there to patch up the victims of the inevitable bloodshed. But where was he about to stick that giant hypodermic? You can probably guess... And one more chorus of Rule Britannia? Oh, go on then...
By now, the festival was in full swing, and the Esplanade was overflowing with music spilling out from impromptu sessions in the seafront bars and hotels, and the colourful dance teams and choirs entertaining the crowds outside.
Despite the temptation to linger, we headed off to the Blackmore Gardens to see one of the week’s key events: the 34th John Gasson Memorial Jig Competition. In contrast to the team dances, a jig is a solo or duo dance that enables dancers to showcase their individual skills, and the competition was instigated as a means of encouraging excellence in Morris dancing. Contestants are judged on criteria including control and precision of movement, regularity of stepping and other elements, and the capacity crowd were loud in their applause of the dancers’ elegant figures and gravity-defying leaps.

We moved on to the Ham Marquee for a stirring performance from Festival patrons and local folk heroes Show of Hands, supported by up-and-coming Americana duo Hannah Sanders and Ben Savage.
Since we first caught them last year – where they gave a promising set at the Blackmore Gardens – Sanders and Savage have turned up the wick. Now more assured and with friendly chat to the audience between numbers, the guitar duo charmed the Ham crowd with their harmony voices, performing a mix of original and Appalachian songs, including 'Come All Ye Fair and Tender Maids', 'A Thousand New Moons' and 'Polly O Polly'. Finishing with a triumphant 'Deep Blue Sea', they are clearly ones to watch.
Acoustic roots/folk duo Show of Hands – comprising Steve Knightley (guitar, vocals) and Phil Beer (guitar, multiple instruments and vocals) – are always solid and dependable. Tonight, we were in for a treat. Playing as just a duo – with no additional musicians, backing singers or pzazz – it was a chance to appreciate their fine, often politically charged work. Knightley was on form with a poignant 'The Dive', a singalong 'Dreckly', an edgy 'Country Life' and a standout 'The Ride'. Beer shone too, especially on 'Crow on the Cradle', and the duo really worked the crowd, bringing things to a head with a storming 'Cousin Jack'.
It was a fitting end to a brilliant day. Bring on the rest of the Festival, dreckly… | https://www.sidmouthherald.co.uk/news/sidmouth-folk-festival-2022-review-9188374 | 2022-08-03T16:51:33Z | https://www.sidmouthherald.co.uk/news/sidmouth-folk-festival-2022-review-9188374 | false | 1 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency is warning residents who live near medical sterilizing plants in 13 states and Puerto Rico about potential health risks from emissions of ethylene oxide, a chemical widely used in their operations.
Laredo, Texas; Ardmore, Oklahoma; and Lakewood, Colorado, are among the communities facing the highest risk from ethylene oxide emissions, EPA said.
The agency has notified 23 commercial sterilizers — 19 in the continental U.S. and four in Puerto Rico — that their operations pose an elevated risk of cancer and other ailments. The notice follows a recent survey of emissions data from almost 100 commercial sterilizers nationwide.
Ethylene oxide is used to clean everything from catheters to syringes, pacemakers and plastic surgical gowns.
While short-term or infrequent exposure to ethylene oxide does not appear to pose a health risk, EPA said long-term or lifetime exposure to the chemical could lead to a variety of health impacts, including lymphoma and breast cancer. EPA said it is working with commercial sterilizers to take appropriate steps to reduce emissions.
“Today, EPA is taking action to ensure communities are informed and engaged in our efforts to address ethylene oxide, a potent air toxic posing serious health risks with long-term exposure,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement Wednesday.
EPA will conduct public outreach campaigns in each of the communities where elevated risks have been found, including an Aug. 10 webinar.
Laredo, one of the communities targeted by the EPA notice, is a border city where the vast majority of residents are Latino and more than a quarter live in poverty. Missouri-based Midwest Sterilization Corp. operates a sterilization plant in Laredo.
More than 40% of the city's nearly 70,000 schoolchildren attend campuses in areas with an elevated risk of cancer due to ethylene oxide emissions from the Midwest plant, according to an analysis by ProPublica and the Texas Tribune.
A spokesperson for Midwest declined immediate comment. But the company told ProPublica and the Tribune last December that cancer risk from its sterilization plant is overstated. Emissions it reported to the EPA are “worst case scenarios,” rather than specific pollution levels, the company said.
The Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Association, an industry group, said in a statement that ethylene oxide has been used for decades by the health care community to sterilize a wide variety of medical devices and equipment. More than 20 billion health care products are sterilized each year in the U.S. alone.
In many cases. there are no practical alternatives currently available to ethylene oxide, the group said, adding that use of less effective cleaning methods "could introduce the real risks of increased morbidity and mortality'' at hospitals throughout the country.
EPA called medical sterilization “a critical function that ensures a safe supply of medical devices for patients and hospitals.'' The agency said it is committed to addressing pollution concerns associated with EO, sometimes called EtO, "in a comprehensive way that ensures facilities can operate safely in communities while also providing sterilized medical supplies.''
A proposed rule to update control of air toxic emissions from commercial sterilizers is expected by the end of the year, with a final rule likely next year, EPA said. | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/EPA-Chemical-in-medical-device-cleanser-poses-17348350.php | 2022-08-03T16:53:41Z | https://www.theridgefieldpress.com/news/article/EPA-Chemical-in-medical-device-cleanser-poses-17348350.php | false | 36 |
For two years, the San Diego Padres have spent big money trying in a thus-far unsuccessful attempt to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers. That cash race profoundly accelerated prior to Tuesday’s trade deadline, when the Padres grabbed outfielder Juan Soto in a deal with the Washington Nationals.
With Soto, San Diego obtained the biggest prize on the market, while also adding first baseman Josh Bell to the package.
“He’s a generational player,” Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said about Soto after the deal was made. “We’re on bumpy road now, and we think this deal we made is going to get us out of it. We made a deal that is being called historical. I call it a good deal for the Nationals and Padres at this time in both our franchises history.”
While the first-place Dodgers passed the deadline leading the Padres by 11 1/2 games in the National League West, the Soto trade continues the teams’ heated off-field competition for talent.
The Dodgers grabbed outfielder Mookie Betts from Boston prior to the 2020 season, gave him a 12-year, $365 million contract, and won the World Series—after they swept the Padres in that NL Division Series.
The Padres countered the following spring by signing Fernando Tatis for 14 years, $340 million, which thus far has paid few dividends because of the shortstop’s injuries.
Then at the 2021 trade deadline, the Padres thought they had grabbed star pitcher Max Scherzer from the Nationals, but the Dodgers prevailed. The Padres missed the playoffs, finishing 11 games out. The Dodgers lost a six-game NL Championship Series to the eventual World Series-winning Atlanta Braves.
That brings us to where the Padres are now after a bevy of trades this week and a $100 million, five-year contract extension to starter Joe Musgrove, a local San Diego product. Tatis, recovering from surgery on a fractured left wrist, could be back sometime this month.
“Without Tatis for the first half of the season we’ve been offensively challenged,” Padres general manager A.J. Preller Tuesday said during a late afternoon media conference. “We’re better now. We think we’ve put ourselves into position where we can play deep into October.”
For the short term, though, the Padres have lost their last 14 of 15 to the Dodgers during the past two seasons, and even with 12 more games to play between the two teams this year, including three at Dodger Stadium this weekend, that NL West race appears to be over.
In the new 12-team playoff format—six teams in each league—the Padres are hardly secure right now, holding the second of three Wild Cards spots, leading the now tied for the third spot St. Louis Cardinals and Philadelphia Phillies by 3 1/2 games.
If the season were to end today, they Padres would have to travel to Atlanta for a best-of-three Wild Card series with all the games at Truist Park.
If they survived that, the NL East-winning New York Mets would be next up in a best-of-five NL Division Series. And then perhaps the Dodgers again in the best-of-seven NLCS. The two division winners in each league with the best records get a bye in the Wild Card round.
That’s a tall mountain to ascend to the World Series for only the third time in club history. They’ve never won. And this year they’d have to win 14 games to accomplish the feat.
That’s the goal for the immediate future.
The Padres traded away two of their top prospects with big league experience in pitcher MacKenzie Gore and shortstop C.J. Abrams, as well as three coveted minor leaguers in the deal for Soto, who’s under arbitration control for the next two seasons.
After the 2024 season when Soto becomes a free agent, Scott Boras, his agent, has already said the player will go to the highest bidder. Soto turned down a recent 15-year, $440 million offer from the Nationals, leading the club, which is for sale, to deal him.
“We’re looking at it as having him for three pennant races,” Preller said. “That’s a lot of time. We’ll obviously get into it and figure out the long-term further down the road.”
The Padres seem to have given up a lot of talent, considering this short and very difficult window. They are vying against a Dodgers club that’s run by Guggenheim Baseball Management, whose parent company runs a $500 billion hedge fund and has seemingly endless money.
The Mets, owned by hedge fund billionaire Steve Cohen, made several incremental improvements via the market during the past week, but didn’t trade any of their top 19 prospects, general manager Billy Eppler said during a post deadline video conference.
“You have to resist the urge to make a snap or impulsive decision and give up large amounts of future World Series expectations in exchange for some marginal gains right now,” he said. “Some of that undisciplined thinking can lead to years of mediocrity and doing the same thing over and over again.”
Eppler wasn’t talking about the Padres, in particular, but the sentiment fits.
Under billionaire owner Peter Seidler, the Padres are fifth in baseball with a $220.8 million payroll just below the initial luxury tax threshold of $230 million. Of that figure, $30.4 million is being paid to injured players and $29 million to players no longer on the roster, many playing elsewhere.
They have a long-term commitment to Manny Machado, who’s owed $30 million a year through 2028 with an opt out after the 2023 season. The club can opt out of Wil Myers’ $20 million this offseason and pay him $1 million.
Pitchers Yu Darvish ($20 million) and Blake Snell ($16 million) have one more year each. Musgrove is now signed for $20 million a year through 2027.
Soto is earning $6 million of his $17.1 million to play for the Padres the rest of the season. The latter figure will certainly double via arbitration next season if the Padres don’t sign him to at least a two-year deal.
These are the decision pending for Seidler and Preller.
“When the time is right,” Preller said, “I’m sure we’ll have those conversations.” | https://www.sportico.com/leagues/baseball/2022/padres-soto-trade-extends-free-spending-quest-to-catch-dodgers-1234684575/ | 2022-08-03T16:55:32Z | https://www.sportico.com/leagues/baseball/2022/padres-soto-trade-extends-free-spending-quest-to-catch-dodgers-1234684575/ | false | 1 |

'Gaga' denies relief funds were skimmed
Lady Gaga responded yesterday to a lawsuit alleging that the pop star's people skimmed from the sales of benefit wristbands earmarked for Japan earthquake relief, Frank Lovece reports. "This misguided lawsuit is without merit and unfortunately takes attention away from the kind deeds of the fans around the world who are supporting the people of Japan. The entire $5 donation made with the purchase of each bracelet is going to support the disaster relief . . . Sales tax charges were made in accordance with local legal requirements."
Watson admits crush on actor who played 'Malfoy'
Maybe Hermione liked that blond, slicked-back look? Emma Watson tells Seventeen magazine that she had a "huge crush" on fellow actor Tom Felton during the filming of the first two "Harry Potter" movies. Felton, who portrays Draco Malfoy, was Watson's first crush, she says in the August cover story. "He totally knows," she said. "We talked about it -- we still laugh about it. We are really good friends now, and that's cool."
PETA names Wiig, Brand 'sexiest' vegetarians

SAN FRANCISCO – The husband of U.S. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi pleaded not guilty Wednesday to misdemeanor driving under the influence charges related to a May car crash in Northern California wine country.
Paul Pelosi, 82, did not appear in person at Napa County Superior Court Wednesday. His attorney Amanda Bevins entered not guilty pleas for him on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol causing injury and driving with a .08% blood alcohol level or higher causing injury.
State law allows for DUI misdemeanor defendants to appear through their attorney unless ordered otherwise by the court.
He was arrested following a May 28 crash in Napa County, north of San Francisco, after a DUI test showed he had a blood alcohol content level of .082%. The blood sample was taken about two hours after the collision occurred at 10:17 p.m., the Napa County District Attorney’s Office said in a statement.
Pelosi was driving a 2021 Porsche into an intersection near the wine country town of Yountville that was hit by a 2014 Jeep, according to the California Highway Patrol.
Prosecutors filed the case as a misdemeanor because of the injuries sustained by the 48-year-old driver of the Jeep. They have not described the injuries or provided more information about the other driver, saying the person has requested privacy.
Pelosi was released on $5,000 bail after his arrest.
If convicted, Pelosi faces up to a minimum of five days in jail and up to five years of probation. He would also be required to complete a drinking driver class and install an ignition interlock device in his vehicle — a breathalyzer that requires the driver to blow into it before operating the vehicle, prosecutors said.
Pelosi has been married to the powerful Democratic speaker since 1963. She is traveling in Asia this week. | https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2022/08/03/paul-pelosi-pleads-not-guilty-to-dui-misdemeanor-charges/ | 2022-08-03T16:56:25Z | https://www.ksat.com/news/politics/2022/08/03/paul-pelosi-pleads-not-guilty-to-dui-misdemeanor-charges/ | true | 30 |
In a move that shocked Hollywood observers for the amount of money wasted, Warner Bros. Discovery announced Tuesday that it is shelving all plans to release the nearly finished film Batgirl, starring actress Leslie Grace.
The film had originally been planned with a $75 million budget that had rocketed up to $90 million, due to COVID-related delays. It was directed by the duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, whose credits include the 2020 Will Smith and Martin Lawrence vehicle Bad Boys for Life as well as the recent Disney+ series Ms. Marvel.
In a statement reported by multiple media sources, a Warner Bros. spokesperson wrote: "The decision to not release Batgirl reflects our leadership's strategic shift as it relates to the DC universe and HBO Max. Leslie Grace is an incredibly talented actor and this decision is not a reflection of her performance."
Warner Bros. has not replied to requests from NPR for comment.
On Tuesday, the trade magazine Variety reported that the film had been planned under WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar and Warner Bros. CEO Ann Sarnoff, and was scheduled to be initially released on the HBO Max streaming platform. Since then, David Zaslav has come in as CEO of the newly formed Warner Bros. Discovery company, and has reversed their streaming-first corporate plans. The fate of Batgirl, according to Variety, seems to have been tied up in those strategy wars.
When the Batgirl news was first reported, however, it was via the New York Post -- and an anonymous source speaking to the newspaper placed the blame squarely on poor audience testing. "They think an unspeakable Batgirl is going to be irredeemable," the source told the Post.
At the same time that Batgirl met the ax, the studio also announced that the movie Scoob!: Holiday Haunt has also been shelved. It was a sequel to the 2020 film Scoob!, of which Variety wrote in its review: " These are trying times, and parents may be grateful to have a virtual babysitter to distract their kids for 90 minutes, in which case, Scoob! is surely more effective than sitting them in front of the fish tank."

VIRAL VIDEO: Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Victor Oladipo And Harrison Barnes Playing Pick-Up
On Tuesday, Overtime reposted a video to Twitter (via austinjaustinj/IG), of NBA stars Russell Westbrook (Los Angeles Lakers), Paul George (Los Angeles Clippers), Harrison Barnes (Sacramento Kings) and Victor Oladipo (Miami Heat) all playing pick-up basketball.
Over the summer, either with trainers, or in Pro-Am leagues, there is always great content filmed of NBA stars putting in work.
In this specific video, there are several former duos.
Oladipo and Westbrook played together on the Oklahoma City Thunder for one season together.
During that 2016-17 season, Westbrook won the MVP of the NBA.
That summer, the Thunder traded Oladipo in a package that landed them George from the Indiana Pacers.
George then played with Westbrook for two seasons.
They were an awesome duo to watch, but they failed to win a playoff series, and lost in the first-round to the Utah Jazz (2018) and Portland Trail Blazers (2019).
After spending 11 seasons with the Thunder, Westbrook was traded to the Houston Rockets in the summer of 2019.
The Thunder also sent George to the Los Angeles Clippers (where he still plays).
As for Westbrook, he was then traded from the Rockets to the Washington Wizards in the summer of 2020.
After that, he was traded from the Wizards to the Los Angeles Lakers in the summer of 2021.
Last season, he averaged 18.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.1 assists in 78 games playing for the Lakers.
However, the team struggled, and they were the 11th seed in the Western Conference with a 33-49 record. | https://www.si.com/fannation/nba/fastbreak/news/-westbrook-george-oladipo-and-barnes-playing-pick-up-miami-heat-los-angeles-clippers-los-angeles-lakers | 2022-08-03T16:59:50Z | https://www.si.com/fannation/nba/fastbreak/news/-westbrook-george-oladipo-and-barnes-playing-pick-up-miami-heat-los-angeles-clippers-los-angeles-lakers | true | 1 |

See What All the 'Buzz' is About
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- First-Class Mail will travel from "Infinity to Forever" with the newly released commemorative stamps featuring the iconic image of Buzz Lightyear. A dedication ceremony for the stamps was held today at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, CA.
"Buzz Lightyear captured our hearts and imaginations in the first 'Toy Story' movie," said Isaac Cronkhite, the Postal Service's chief logistics and processing operations officer and executive vice president and dedicating official. "He taught us about heroism, loyalty and perseverance. And now he is the star of his own feature film — 'Lightyear.' Just like Buzz, the Postal Service has also looked to the stars for inspiration. We have many stamps honoring NASA's accomplishments, including the space shuttle, and the Apollo program that took us to the moon. And then there are our STEM Education stamps that emphasize the importance of science, technology, engineering and math. The Postal Service takes great pride in honoring the very best of the nation through our stamp program. And Buzz Lightyear certainly fits that description. The Postal Service is proud to have worked with Disney and Pixar to bring the Go Beyond Forever stamp to both customers and Buzz fans."
Cronkhite was joined for the ceremony by Jan Coleman, vice president global marketing partnerships, representation and inclusion, at Walt Disney Studios
"We couldn't be more excited to work with the United States Postal Service to give fans the opportunity to bring Buzz Lightyear home with them! And what a great way to issue this stamp on the same day 'Lightyear' is streaming on Disney+," said Coleman.
Background
Audiences were introduced to Buzz Lightyear in 1995 when he made his debut in the feature film, "Toy Story." During the three sequels, viewers grew to love Buzz for his charisma, humor, heart and loyalty to his friends.
This past June, the origin story of Buzz was brought to the big screen in the new feature film, "Lightyear," from Disney and Pixar. The movie takes place years before "Toy Story" and follows Buzz as he tries to get home after being marooned on a planet 4.2 million light-years from Earth. The movie highlights his heroics and explains the inspiration behind the toy millions have all come to know and love.
"Toy Story", the world's first full-length, computer-animated feature film, became an instant classic. The original film was nominated for three Academy Awards. The three follow-up movies have been nominated for Academy Awards nine times, winning four awards. The four movies have also been nominated for numerous Golden Globe Awards and Grammy Awards, winning two of each. The American Film Institute listed "Toy Story" among its 100 Greatest American Movies. "Toy Story 3" and "Toy Story 4" are among the top 10 highest grossing animated films of all time.
In 2008, a Buzz Lightyear action figure was launched aboard NASA's Space Shuttle Discovery. Upon boarding the International Space Station, Buzz Lightyear floated 220 miles above the Earth. Buzz's mission logs, filed during his 15-month orbit, supported NASA's educational efforts in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math).
Also in 2008, Buzz Lightyear debuted larger than life in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. The Buzz balloon measured 67 feet long. Buzz appeared in the parade six consecutive times through 2013.
Stamp Artwork
Go Beyond is a pane of 20 stamps arranged in four horizontal rows of five stamps featuring the image of Buzz Lightyear. The selvage features the full-body image of Buzz Lightyear against a graphic background and the slogan "From Infinity to Forever," with the word "Lightyear" enhanced by a spaceship streaking through the letters. Each row features the same designs in differing orders. On each row, the first design repeats as the last stamp. All of the designs feature modern, angular, geometric backgrounds in various greens and grayish blue-greens, accentuating the familiar colors of Buzz's spacesuit along with the phrase "GO BEYOND."
The images include, in order, on the first row: a right-facing, close-up profile of Buzz in his transparent bubble helmet; a full-body profile detailing Buzz's gleaming white and green spacesuit, with the bubble slightly extending beyond the frame's top edge; Buzz sprinting with helmet retracted, in a three-quarter rightward view, the action accentuated by a foot and elbow breaking through the design border; and lastly, a head-and-torso image of the space hero resolutely facing adventures ahead. Greg Breeding was the art director using illustrations from Pixar Animation Studios.
News of the stamps is being shared with the hashtag #GoBeyondStamps.

On May 19, 2016, Muirfield was removed from the Open Championship rota after a vote on admitting women members narrowly failed to achieve the two-thirds majority required.
Just over six years later, the world’s best female players will contest their final major of the season, the AIG Women’s Open, at the East Lothian venue this week and compete for a record prize fund of 7.3million US dollars (£6million).
The winner on Sunday will receive 1.095million dollars (£903,000), a landmark moment which looked impossible when 36 per cent of members of the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers (HCEG), which owns and runs Muirfield, voted against admitting women members.
The announcement of the result was followed minutes later by the R&A stating that Muirfield would not stage the Open while the policy remained in place, a reaction which no doubt played a major role in the outcome of a second vote in March 2017, which passed by 498 votes to 123.
“I think 2016 was an important time for this sport and for the R&A,” chief executive of the R&A, Martin Slumbers, said in a pre-tournament press conference at Muirfield.
“I had only been in the organisation a few months. We had been working very hard on a strategy for the R&A that had inclusivity very much as a part of it. We were in the beginning stages of merging with the Ladies Golf Union and, frankly, that merger transformed the R&A into where we are today.
“I think that when you think back over that six-year period since then, women’s golf has really exploded, and it’s got a long way to go yet. But I do think that that time will be viewed as pivotal in that change.
“The R&A had no responsibility to this championship until 2016, and, in fact, we only got full control of it two years ago. In thinking about where do we want to position the championship, I’ve talked often about a pyramid, with the championship at the top.
“Part of that is big-time sport needs big-time crowds. But big-time sport also needs big-time venues. We were absolutely focused on how do we get the best venues that we can get that mean the most to golf, and stage the championship there.
“And for those of us who have been privileged to be able to play here before, this is a very special golf course with a very special history, and a course that generally gives rise to the very best player winning it.
“So this was all about platform. It’s all about elevation. I think the fact that quite a lot of stories are being written about it means we got the right venue.”
England’s Georgia Hall is targeting her second major title following her win at Royal Lytham in 2018, having also finished joint second behind Anna Nordqvist at Carnoustie last year.
“I didn’t really know what to expect,” Hall said of Muirfield. “I’ve heard really good things about the course and it is really good. I think everyone wants to win here, especially because it’s the first women’s professional event that we are playing in.
“I think it’s so important that the women are here this week. It makes such a mark on women’s golf, and AIG and the R&A have done a fantastic job working together to get the championship here.
“I think the women’s game is definitely in the best position it ever has been, and I’m very happy to be in the middle of my career doing that.”

Taylor Swift attempted to go incognito while getting off a plane last month — just weeks before facing backlash for being named the celebrity with the worst private jet carbon emissions.
Exclusive photos obtained by The Daily Mail show Taylor returning to the US from a trip to London where she spent America's Independence Day consoling her boyfriend, actor Joe Alwyn, following the death of his great-uncle.
Paparazzi snapped the All Too Well singer, 32, hiding behind an umbrella while deplaning at Hollywood Burbank Airport on July 5.
Several members of Swift’s team were also photographed getting off the same flight wearing face masks.
Following the singer's return to the US, at some point, not recorded by online flight trackers, the singer went back to London.
The photos resurfaced this week as Swift faces criticism for reportedly taking 170 flights since January, resulting in more than 800 tons of carbon emissions.

A woman who discovered a kitten hitchhiking in her car engine has returned to Chorley to adopt the pet for herself.
Edwina Hodkinson, 58 from Bury heard the "scrap of a kitten" crying from what she mistook as the bushes but found it curled up under the bonnet of her car. After a lengthy rescue mission involving help from the local experts, she was able to leave the female kitten in the safe hands of the staff at Pinewood vets.
The medical herbalist regularly commutes to Chorley for weekly classes at the Harmony Hub - which is when she discovered the feline friend hiding in her car. At the time she shared the news across various Facebook pages in the hopes of finding an owner, or someone who would be willing to give her a forever home.

Edwina says the loss of her own cat, Boots, who she had for nine years still had her and partner Pete heartbroken. But the events of last week had her believing the universe was giving her "a sign".
"We've just been both so heartbroken at losing boots, but when I saw her I looked into her eyes and it just felt like she was a gift from the universe and I thought, well, you know, it's important that we took her back and my partner was absolutely delighted because he was heartbroken," She said.
"Seeing her face to face first time- because all I saw was just this little scrap run out of the car with sort of everybody else in pursuit so I didn't actually get to see when the vets took her out because I was teaching a class. But when I saw how she'd been cleaned up and she was obviously being given a lot of love by the vets.
"She was so frightened when she came out and the vets had lots of scratches on her arm and bite marks but there she was cuddling and, you know, she sounds like she's done an amazing job in transforming this dirty feral little kitten. I realised that sometimes there are greater forces at work than we realise.
"It seems too much of a coincidence that having lost boot six days before the kitten turned up, in my mind, it just felt like it was a gift from the universe. It's just that realisation that this higher force is at work- she was just a gift, and, you know, meant to be with us, seeing how beautiful she was and how she stumbled into me."
Having spent almost a week trying to see if anyone would claim the kitten, Edwina says the fact that no one did, was another indicator that this kitten was meant to be hers. "I put posts around all the local lost cats pages, and nobody claimed and I knew that she would have no trouble finding a home at all," Edwina said.
"But yes, I think I think that was the sign as well because had somebody claimed I'd have just been happy that she'd have you know, found a family again. So yeah, and it just felt like she was meant to be with us.
"We are still are upset about loosing Boots but we've just had this little gift and I just feel as though it's the universe saying that you know it's all right and where there is death and loss of one cat there is rebirth as well."
Edwina has had the kitten for just over two days now and says she's already settled in well, and found her favourite spot in the house. As a professional photographer, Edwina's partner Pete has been using his skill to snap up pictures of the "photogenic kitten"
"She's still getting used to us and is needing a lot of love. She's taken to plant a plant pot and she spent half the night in that curled up and then she snuggled up. So she's been playing, now she's sort of finding her fee and has been doing a lot of playing, playing with everything."
The couple have named the kitten Tara after a magical location in Ireland and say that she's already gathered a lot of attention on social media.
"We felt that she was a gift from the other world and like the name Tara, we thought about Tara in Ireland because it's this magical place and I think that was why, it was just it just wanting to capture that magic," Edwina added.
"Everybody on social media, all our friends, knew how heartbroken we were, and we've just been posting lots of pictures, keeping people up to date with you know how Tara is doing and people just so besotted by her, they're absolutely besotted by the story and we just get so much response."

For investigators working on the cases of people whose remains were found on the shore of Lake Mead, time is the enemy.
The bodies — one of which was found in a corroding barrel with a gunshot wound — could have been submerged in the lake’s depths decades ago, leaving the three sets of remains in advanced stages of decomposition and making it increasingly difficult to extract DNA. But officials have already discovered key details, which they revealed to CNN, including confirmation that the gunshot victim’s death was a homicide.
When police arrived at the lake’s Hemenway Harbor on May 1 to investigate the discovery of a set of remains in a barrel, investigators immediately treated it as a homicide investigation, not waiting to get a confirmation from the coroner, Lt. Jason Johansson of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police homicide unit told CNN. The gunshot wound was obvious, he said, and the circumstances clearly suspicious.

Clark County Coroner Melanie Rouse has since preliminarily ruled the cause and manner of death was homicide by gunshot and also said her office is submitting specimens from the remains to try to extract DNA. If DNA is found, it will also be sent to the FBI, which is assisting in the case, she said.
The remains, dubbed Hemenway Harbor Doe by the coroner’s office, are one of at least three sets uncovered due to the dramatically receding water levels at Lake Mead, which has plunged to unprecedented lows amid a critical water crisis in the West.
Police previously announced they placed the Hemenway Harbor Doe’s approximate time of death as sometime in the mid-’70s to early ’80s, based on the victim’s clothes and shoes. Johansson told CNN that the clothing was so well preserved in the freshwater environment that investigators were still able to read the clothing labels.
But without an ID, investigators are extremely limited. And the more time passes, the harder it will be to identify aging witnesses and potential suspects.
“If you think about what the age of who your witnesses or anybody related to this case would be, many of them are getting older every day. And they’re at an age where you have to worry, are they even alive? And so I would say that’s probably our biggest concern right now,” Johansson said.
Rouse has preliminarily determined that the age of the person in the second set of remains — found on May 7 at Calville Bay — is approximately between 23 and 37 years old. While she couldn’t confidently determine how the person died — meaning the preliminary cause of death is undetermined — the coroner’s office is sending specimens to be examined for any potential DNA.
RELATED: World War II-era boat emerges from shrinking Lake Mead
The Calville Bay remains are more skeletal than the other two sets, Rouse said, which both still have organ tissue available for examination, despite being immersed in the lake. The cooler underwater temperatures would cause a body to decompose more slowly than if it were baking under the desert sun, she explained.
The final remains were found at the lake’s Swim Beach on July 25 and the examination is still at an early stage, Rouse said. Unlike the other two, these are only partial remains and Rouse is still processing them to determine what can even be examined based on their condition, she said.
The remains are undergoing toxicology and other testing before a cause and manner of death can be determined, the coroner said.
Police are not investigating the other two sets of remains because there is so far no sign of foul play or suspicious circumstances in the deaths, Johansson said, but he has no doubt the circumstances of the Hemenway Harbor Doe’s death are nefarious.
“Anytime you have a body in a barrel, clearly there was somebody else involved,” he said.
No strong connection to organized crime yet, police say
Theories of mob involvement in the Hemenway Harbor Doe’s death began to swirl as soon as details emerged that the remains were found inside a barrel. Those ideas were fueled even more when police announced the victim was likely killed at a time when organized crime had a strong grasp on Las Vegas.
But those ideas are “mere speculation” at this point in the investigation, Johansson said, denying that there is any solid evidence to support mob theories.
“Yes, Vegas does have a history in the past where we had a connection to violent crime, to organized crime back in the ’60s, the 70s,” he said. “However, right now, there’s nothing in this investigation that is directly tying it organized crime.”
At its height in 1983, Lake Mead was 1,225 feet above sea level. But as the climate crisis fuels a prolonged mega-drought in the West, the lake, which serves as the nation’s largest reservoir, has plummeted to sobering levels. This year it hit its lowest level since it was filled in the 1930s.
One possible scenario for the second two remains is that they belong to people who previously drowned at the lake when water levels were high, a National Parks Service spokesperson told CNN. Recovery divers are limited on how deep they can go, so some drowning victims’ remains do not get recovered, they said.
“The lake has drained dramatically over the last 15 years,” Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Homicide Lt. Ray Spencer said in May. “It’s likely that we will find additional bodies that have been dumped in Lake Mead” as the water level drops further.
The dropping water level has exposed a WW II-era landing craft, wrecked boats and the lake’s original 1971 water intake valve, and officials expect more surprises may be in store.
How the coroner’s office conducts examinations
In addition to traditional autopsies, examiners at the Clark County coroner’s office have a number of techniques they can use to uncover details about a body, including X-rays, fingerprinting, forensic dentistry and analysis by forensic anthropologists, Rouse said.
“In cases where we are limited [on identification methods], we would also conduct DNA analysis,” she said, noting that method may not be ideal for some extremely decomposed remains.
For the two sets of Lake Mead remains from which the office is trying to extract DNA, those specimens would have to be sent to a lab, she said.
The condition of the body is essential in the examination process, she said, because more degraded remains may not be able to be fingerprinted or provide dental information. The coroner’s office was able to perform forensic dentistry on the first two sets of Lake Mead remains, she said.
Examiners then compare the dental information to a dental records database, she said, so it’s especially important to investigators that a person’s dental records were submitted to the database. Otherwise, there will be no match.
The coroner’s office is sharing its findings with law enforcement, she said, including the FBI in the case of the homicide victim.
The FBI reached out to Las Vegas police to offer help in the investigation because the body was found on National Park Service land, Johansson said. The agency, which had a lively presence in the area during the mob’s heyday, also offered the assistance of its Organized Crime Task Force if local police need it, he said.

Georgia Power, Southern Nuclear look to next steps, startup process for the new unit
ATLANTA, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Georgia Power announced today a historic milestone in the completion of Vogtle Unit 3 near Waynesboro, Ga. – the receipt of the 103(g) finding from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). This finding was confirmed in an official letter received by Southern Nuclear and signifies that the new unit has been constructed and will be operated in conformance with the Combined License and NRC regulations. No further NRC findings are necessary in order for Southern Nuclear to load fuel or begin the startup sequence for the new unit.
"Today's finding by the NRC helps ensure we have met our commitment to building Vogtle 3 & 4 with the highest safety and quality standards," said Chris Womack, chairman, president and CEO of Georgia Power. "These new units remain a strong long-term investment for this state, and, once operating, are expected to provide customers with a reliable and resilient, clean, emission-free source of energy for the next 60 to 80 years. That's why we've been so committed to getting this project done right – it's about serving our customers today and for decades to come."
The issuance of the 103(g) finding follows years of diligent and careful work by the team at the site to submit documentation that Unit 3 has satisfied 398 required inspections, tests, analyses, and acceptance criteria (ITAACs) as outlined in Southern Nuclear's Combined License – helping ensure the unit meets strict nuclear safety and quality standards. This process was completed on July 29, and the NRC conducted a thorough review process of each submission and targeted inspections of the facility before issuing the 103(g) finding. As required by the NRC, each ITAAC had to be verified before fuel load and operations.
The team at the site continues working diligently to make final preparations for Unit 3 fuel load, initiate startup testing and bring the unit online. Over the next several weeks, well-trained and highly qualified nuclear technicians will continue work required to support loading fuel, which is already onsite, into the unit's reactor. This will be followed by several months of startup testing and operations. Startup testing is designed to demonstrate the integrated operation of the primary coolant system and steam supply system at design temperature and pressure with fuel inside the reactor. Operators will also bring the plant from cold shutdown to initial criticality, synchronize the Unit to the grid and systematically raise power to 100%.
The new Vogtle units are an essential part of Georgia Power's commitment to delivering clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy, and, once operating, the two new units at Plant Vogtle are expected to power more than 500,000 homes and businesses. Additionally, the new units will be clean energy sources that produce zero air pollution.
Georgia Power is the largest electric subsidiary of Southern Company (NYSE: SO), America's premier energy company. Value, Reliability, Customer Service and Stewardship are the cornerstones of the company's promise to 2.7 million customers in all but four of Georgia's 159 counties. Committed to delivering clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy at rates below the national average, Georgia Power maintains a diverse, innovative generation mix that includes nuclear, coal and natural gas, as well as renewables such as solar, hydroelectric and wind. Georgia Power focuses on delivering world-class service to its customers every day and the company is recognized by J.D. Power as an industry leader in customer satisfaction.

V.I. Superior Court Judge Renee Gumbs-Carty postponed Tuesday’s hearing on former At-Large Sen. Steven Payne’s fight to reclaim his seat in the 34th Legislature.
The order came in response to a motion filed by attorney Joseph Arellano, who entered a limited appearance on behalf of Senate President Donna Frett-Gregory Friday.
Frett-Gregory is named as a defendant in her official capacity in Payne’s civil complaint, alongside the “34th Legislature of the Virgin Islands and its membership.”
Arellano argued that court lacks jurisdiction, and defendants in the case have not been served with the complaint and have not had adequate time to prepare for the hearing.
Gumbs-Carty entered the order vacating Tuesday’s hearing just over an hour before it was set to begin at 2 p.m., and rescheduled the hearing to Aug. 11.
The other 14 senators in the Legislature voted to expel Payne on July 20, following a report by the Committee on Ethical Conduct, which convened to investigate a legislative employee’s March 15 sexual harassment complaint against him.
Payne has denied any wrongdoing, and is still running as a candidate for the 35th Legislature.
Payne’s attorney, Treston Moore, filed a petition for a preliminary injunction in V.I. Superior Court on July 25, and he filed a complaint Friday, which seeks his return to the Legislature, back pay, and damages.
The complaint names Payne as a plaintiff alongside Noellise Powell, a St. John voter who is claiming her rights are being violated by Payne’s expulsion, and the Democratic Party’s decision to choose Angel Bolques Jr. to replace him as At-Large Sen. in the 34th Legislature.
Bolques is the only Democrat challenging Payne in Saturday’s primary election, and the winner of that race will go on to face Independent candidate Sherry-Ann Francis in the general election in November.

Kanye West Claims Adidas Launched 'Yeezy Day' Without His Permission
By Tony M. Centeno
August 3, 2022
Kanye West isn't one to hold back his opinions about the brands he works with. Not long after clarifying his stance on Balenciaga, the Chicago native put Adidas on blast for allegedly moving forward with its third annual Yeezy Day without his permission.
On Tuesday, August 2, Kanye sent a direct message to Complex's Instagram account in which he claimed the sneaker brand held Yeezy Day without his consent. That's not the only allegation he made. He continued by accusing the brand of re-issuing previous Adidas Yeezy styles/colorways and hiring employees, including a general manager, for the line without his approval.

After accusing the sneaker company of not getting his approval for anything Yeezy-related, Ye kept going by alleging that adidas tried to interfere with his work at Balenciaga and Gap amid his collaboration with both fashion brands.
"Even though they did a Balenciaga collaboration they completely slowed down production on the shoes me and Denma developed for Gap by trying to bully Gap even though my contract states I can do casual shoes which I was doing when I did fashion shows," Ye continues. "When I originally ordered adidas to make more Yeezy slides the GM lied to my face and said they didn't have the capacity meanwhile adidas was copying my slides and making their own version of the Yeezy slide. Yeezy is 68% of adidas on line sales. God step in."
Apparently, Ye is still not happy with Adidas for allegedly ripping off the design of his Yeezy Slides. Earlier this year, Ye ranted about the company's plan to issue their own slides that slightly resembles the rapper's design.
Yeezy Day began back in 2019 and has since become a day full of exclusive Yeezy sneakers. This year's major release was the “Utility Black” Yeezy 450. So far, Adidas has not responded to Ye's claims about the annual sneaker event or the aforementioned slides. | https://www.iheart.com/content/2022-08-03-kanye-west-claims-adidas-launched-yeezy-day-without-his-permission/ | 2022-08-03T17:18:08Z | https://www.iheart.com/content/2022-08-03-kanye-west-claims-adidas-launched-yeezy-day-without-his-permission/ | true | 1 |
In an interview with Vogue published on Tuesday (August 2nd), Jane Fonda shared that she’s “not proud of the fact” that she had a facelift in the past.
After commenting that she doesn’t want people to fear aging, the 9 to 5 actress said, “I think that Grace and Frankie gives people, especially women, a lot of hope. That’s why I always tell people what my age is because I want them to realize it.”
Fonda continued, “Now as those words are coming out of my mouth, what I’m thinking with the second part of my brain is, Yeah, Fonda. You have money. You can afford a trainer. You can afford plastic surgery. You can afford facials. You can afford the things that help make you continue to look young. That is true. Money does help. Good genes and a lot of money, as somebody once said.”
She added, “But then as I’m saying that, I’m thinking we all know a lot of women who are wealthy who’ve had all kinds of facelifts and things like that and they look terrible. I had a facelift and I stopped because I don’t want to look distorted. I’m not proud of the fact that I had one.” | https://www.1063thegroove.com/entertainment/jane-fonda-says-shes-not-proud-of-her-past-facelift | 2022-08-03T17:20:43Z | https://www.1063thegroove.com/entertainment/jane-fonda-says-shes-not-proud-of-her-past-facelift | true | 2 |

Hyderabad: Trolling by supporters of BJP appears to have prompted the Central Water Commission (CWC) to remove a tweet endorsing a statement made by union Minister of State for Finance Bhagwat Karad in Parliament on Monday, saying loans for Kaleshwaram Lift Irrigation Scheme (KLIS) were given as per the norms laid down by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI).
Karad, responding to a question raised by Congress MP N Uttam Kumar Reddy in Lok Sabha, said Public Sector Banks had approved the loans for KLIS as per RBI guidelines. All the term loans, including those availed for the project, were approved based on technical feasibility, financial/commercial viability and bankability of the project, he said.
The CWC, which gave all approvals for the KLIS, posted a news clipping which appeared in Telangana Today based on the union Minister’s statement, on its official Twitter handle. This triggered a political cyber war between supporters of the TRS and BJP.
While TRS supporters shared the tweet widely to counter the false propaganda spread by the Opposition parties against the State government, BJP supporters kept objecting to the CWC sharing the news clipping. The CWC’s action irked the BJP supporters since the tweet was posted the same day when union Minister for Jal Shakti Gajendra Singh Shekhawat termed KLIS as an illegal project.
Some BJP supporters complained to Telangana BJP leaders as well as some union Ministers against the CWC by tagging them on social media platforms. They did not seem to realise that the statement was made by a union Minister in Lok Sabha and the CWC had merely shared it.
Nonetheless, the CWC removed the post on Wednesday, triggering another bout of political debate. The TRS supporters accused the BJP government at the Centre of pressurising the Commission to delete the tweet. Those who saved the tweet shared it on the social media even as ”Shame BJP” trended online. | https://telanganatoday.com/cwc-removes-news-clipping-on-centres-statement-on-klis | 2022-08-03T17:22:04Z | https://telanganatoday.com/cwc-removes-news-clipping-on-centres-statement-on-klis | false | 1 |

NLRB MOUs With DOJ, FTC Bolster Efforts to Curb Corporate Power
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The Teamsters applaud the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) for entering into agreements with two federal agencies to improve enforcement of antitrust law, promote fair standards of marketplace competition, and advance workers' rights.
The NLRB recently reached separate memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with the U.S. Justice Department's Antitrust Division as well as the Federal Trade Commission, sending a strong message that the federal government plans to aggressively police bad corporate behavior.
"Global behemoths like Amazon bully workers with impunity. But these agencies are moving in the right direction to make clear the government needs to keep its eyes on these white-collar criminals," said Teamsters General President Sean M. O'Brien. "The Teamsters stand ready to provide information on industry-specific arrangements and conditions to advance an antitrust agenda that serves the needs of our members and working people."
The union will work with top U.S. antitrust officials committed to pursuing courageous and principled enforcement to protect workers from corporate lawlessness.
"Workers are rising up against corporate bullies because they've had enough," O'Brien said. "At job sites across the country, workers are sick and tired of low wages and unsafe workplaces. We are demanding respect and standing together to build power, and the Teamsters are going to make damn sure that our nation's antitrust laws are enforced."

YouTube Star Shane Dawson Explains Why He's 'Grateful' for Being Canceled
Shane Dawson may have experienced one of the most cases of "cancel culture" in the last few years, but now he says that he is glad it happened. Dawson was a popular YouTuber and social media influencer until some of his older, offensive content resurfaced in 2020 including videos with blackface, racism and jokes about pedophilia. Dawson took a prolonged break from social media and is now making content at a much lower rate than before, but that seems fine with him.
Dawson now hosts his own podcast and frequently appears as a guest on others. On Monday, he was interviewed on Perez Hilton's podcast, looking back on his life in the last two years or so. He said: "I really think the universe and God, or whatever, really planned it this way because I was at a point before I got canceled where I didn't wanna be around anymore. I was so burnt out."
Dawson admitted that his life was trending in a dangerous direction before he was "canceled" by public opinion on social media. The 34-year-old said: "It was just a collection of boom, boom, boom, boom, and it got to a point where, yeah, then that's when I started therapy for an eating disorder and all the other stuff and then oddly enough, two months maybe even sooner, I started therapy I got canceled and it was like, 'Oh.' That felt very designed to me by something.'"
While his fanbase has been significantly reduced, Dawson said that he enjoys the reduced pressure to constantly release new content. He said: "Now I can see what the bigger purpose is and I do and I'm so grateful to be where I am and for my family and to not be freaking out every fucking day like, 'What am I going to make?! 'What am I going to make?! How am I going to top it? Are people going to be mad?' It really was never ending."
Dawson has shared a similar sentiment before – notably in a 2021 YouTube video called "The Haunting of Shane Dawson. At the time, he said: "I'm so grateful that I got canceled, because it really changed my life. It showed me what I care about and showed me what matters; it showed me I don't need to be on YouTube all the time. I don't need to be stressed about what's next, I don't need to be trying to think of the next idea, the next whatever to be happy."
Dawson hosts his own show called The Shane Dawson Podcast, and frequently appears as a guest on The Sip Podcast which is co-hosted by his fiance Ryland Adams. Dawson also continues to create YouTube videos, but not at the same regular pace as before. | https://popculture.com/celebrity/news/youtube-star-shane-dawson-explains-why-grateful-for-being-canceled/ | 2022-08-03T17:32:46Z | https://popculture.com/celebrity/news/youtube-star-shane-dawson-explains-why-grateful-for-being-canceled/ | true | 1 |
EPA: Chemical in medical-device cleanser poses cancer risk
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Environmental Protection Agency is warning residents who live near medical sterilizing plants in 13 states and Puerto Rico about potential health risks from emissions of ethylene oxide, a chemical widely used in their operations.
Laredo, Texas; Ardmore, Oklahoma; and Lakewood, Colorado, are among the communities facing the highest risk from ethylene oxide emissions, EPA said.
The agency has notified 23 commercial sterilizers — 19 in the continental U.S. and four in Puerto Rico — that their operations pose an elevated risk of cancer and other ailments. The notice follows a recent survey of emissions data from almost 100 commercial sterilizers nationwide.
Ethylene oxide is used to clean everything from catheters to syringes, pacemakers and plastic surgical gowns.
While short-term or infrequent exposure to ethylene oxide does not appear to pose a health risk, EPA said long-term or lifetime exposure to the chemical could lead to a variety of health impacts, including lymphoma and breast cancer. EPA said it is working with commercial sterilizers to take appropriate steps to reduce emissions.
“Today, EPA is taking action to ensure communities are informed and engaged in our efforts to address ethylene oxide, a potent air toxic posing serious health risks with long-term exposure,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement Wednesday.
EPA will conduct public outreach campaigns in each of the communities where elevated risks have been found, including an Aug. 10 webinar.
Laredo, one of the communities targeted by the EPA notice, is a border city where the vast majority of residents are Latino, and more than a quarter live in poverty. Missouri-based Midwest Sterilization Corp. operates a sterilization plant in Laredo.
More than 40% of the city’s nearly 70,000 schoolchildren attend campuses in areas with an elevated risk of cancer due to ethylene oxide emissions from the Midwest plant, according to an analysis by ProPublica and the Texas Tribune.
A spokesperson for Midwest declined immediate comment. But the company told ProPublica and the Tribune last December that the cancer risk from its sterilization plant is overstated. Emissions it reported to the EPA are “worst case scenarios,” rather than specific pollution levels, the company said.
The Ethylene Oxide Sterilization Association, an industry group, said in a statement that ethylene oxide has been used for decades by the health care community to sterilize a wide variety of medical devices and equipment. More than 20 billion health care products are sterilized each year in the U.S. alone.
In many cases. there are no practical alternatives currently available to ethylene oxide, the group said, adding that the use of less effective cleaning methods “could introduce the real risks of increased morbidity and mortality’' at hospitals throughout the country.
EPA called medical sterilization “a critical function that ensures a safe supply of medical devices for patients and hospitals.’’ The agency said it is committed to addressing pollution concerns associated with EO, sometimes called EtO, “in a comprehensive way that ensures facilities can operate safely in communities while also providing sterilized medical supplies.’’
A proposed rule to update control of air toxic emissions from commercial sterilizers is expected by the end of the year, with a final rule likely next year, EPA said.

Dia Mirza, who lost her niece recently, took to Instagram to pen an emotional note
Dia Mirza with her niece/ Instagram
Dia Mirza penned an emotional note for her niece Tanya, who recently passed away, on her social media. On Wednesday, taking to her Instagram handle, Dia posted a picture of herself with her niece along with an emotional note.
She recalled the moments spent with her niece. The 'Sanju' actor wrote, "I remember squeals of 'Dia Maashi' filling the corridors of my home in Mumbai each time Tanya would come to visit...She brought with her an innocence that could sometimes run errant, a laughter that was always contagious, a curiosity that deserved to be encouraged and a very special kind of love, that I hold in my heart forever. For I know now, that just like everyone who ever knew her, I am going to miss being loved so unconditionally by her."
View this post on Instagram
The 'Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein' actor added, "Tanya was in many ways like a firstborn child to me. While she never had it easy, she always had us and I have to believe that she always always knew that. Listening to her, guiding her, spoiling her, reprimanding and scolding her were all joys that she allowed me with an impish smile and the tightest hugs. For her, I am so so grateful. Life can be immensely rewarding and life can be so cruel. I know we will grapple to make sense of this tragedy for all our years to come. I don't expect this to ever make any sense."

"All I do know is that every time I see something beautiful, it will remind me of her. She had special gifts, she sang, she wrote so beautifully, she could create magic with her brushes. As a child she painted on canvases, as a grown up she made the human face her canvas. Never wanting to change what is inherently beautiful about a person. Always wanting to bring out the very best in them... this was her gift. She was wise beyond her years and her depth of understanding human emotions was far beyond her years. I know everyone who truly knew her, will always remember her," she continued.
She ended her post on an emotional note, "I believe Tanya will always be with us. I pray that she has found her peace... love you always Tanu Ma thank you for the joy you brought to our lives." A few days ago, Dia updated about her niece's demise which made netizens sad.

Love Island star slammed as a snake by furious fans after secret sex confession
LOVE Island fans have slammed one of the Islanders as a "snake" after her secret sex confession after her villa exit.
Coco Lodge, who was dumped from the ITV2 dating show last month, claimed she "could have" have sex with fellow star Josh Le Grove.
Love Island star Coco, 27, stirred the pot after entering the villa as a bombshell - setting her sights on fourth-place star Andrew Le Page.
She almost split Andrew, 27, and Tasha Ghouri for good after confessing the pair got down and dirty under the covers.
In a now-iconic quote, the estate agent was forced to tell Tasha, 24, how he "licked" Coco's breasts in a saucy unseen clip - shocking fans.
This week, she shocked fans AGAIN when she revealed she "could have" had sex with one of the other bombshell boys.
Coco was dumped from the villa alongside Josh, 22, and opened up about what happened between the two on the Saving Grace Podcast.
The pair got taken to a secret villa and she has claimed that he said he was horny, and that she 'could have' slept with him.
Coco said: "You go to this like amazing villa, like basically as good as like the main villa, with Josh and two chaperones."
Host Grace Keeling asked: "Did you sh*g him?" to which she replied: "No, and I'm annoyed because I feel like I could have now."
Most read in Love Island
Fans were left infuriated by the comments, given that Josh is now happily dating fellow Love Island star Summer Botwe.
Taking to Twitter, one fumed: "Coco is a sneaky little b***h. SUmer was MAD loyal to this girl. Coco is a snake. No loyalty. NONE."
Another agreed: "She's a snake. Jasmine said how her and Andrew made a connection but that Coco went and kissed him, then had him lick her t*t or whatever the same night."
"Coco is a snake," a third chimed in, as a fourth wrote: "Since the onset I never rated Coco and I never will. Such a snake."

It comes after fans previously branded Coco a "snake" for trying to "poison" Andrew Le Page away from Tasha Ghouri.
Viewers flooded social media to complain that bombshell Coco had been trying to put a wedge between the pair.
Fans watched on as Andrew sobbed as he came to terms with his romance with Tasha, 24, fizzling out.
The reality TV star was seen crying on the terrace as he poured his heart out to villa pal Jacques O'Neill about his failing partnership.
Andrew told Jacques, 23, that he had "heard" things about Tasha that were making him doubt their relationship was legitimate.
Fans were left confused as the estate agent suggested his partner had only stuck with him because he was "easy" after being told "so many things" since Casa Amor kicked off.
Fans thought that Coco has spilled "poisonous" thoughts on Tasha, as she had watched the show and seen secret conversations between the girls before entering the villa last weekend. | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19410098/love-island-furious-fans-snake-coco-lodge-sex-josh/ | 2022-08-03T17:37:11Z | https://www.thesun.co.uk/tv/19410098/love-island-furious-fans-snake-coco-lodge-sex-josh/ | true | 3 |

William Gallas has slammed the "ridiculous" price Chelsea could end up paying to sign Wesley Fofana from Leicester City. The Blues and the Foxes have been locked in talks for the past week as they negotiate a deal for the 21-year-old.
After missing out on Jules Kounde, who recently signed for Barcelona, Chelsea quickly turned their attention to the highly-rated Fofana. football.london understands Fofana is putting pressure on Leicester – both internally and externally – and the defender is very open to moving to Stamford Bridge.
However, Leicester's stance on the matter has not changed. They do not want to sell Fofana. There is a school of thought, though, that around £80million could at least tempt the Foxes to cash in on the Frenchman.

Gallas has now claimed to pay in the region of £80m is "ridiculous" and "too much". The former Chelsea defender cannot quite get his head around the pursuit of Fofana.
Speaking to Genting Casino, the two-time title-winning Blue said: "I find the price hard to explain, but transfer fees are ridiculous sometimes. It is crazy how much money clubs spend on players that still have something to prove.
"Fofana had a great first season at Leicester. He was unbelievable. Unfortunately, he had a nasty injury and sometimes it is difficult to come back and reach the same level of performance as before, which is why I think anything between £60-80m for him is too much. I think he needs to be given time to come back to his best level, and he hasn't got there yet."
Gallas also spoke about how Chelsea should have got a deal for the aforementioned Kounde over the line and how they may live to regret the France international joining Barcelona. He added: "I do find it hard to understand what is happening at Chelsea in terms of defensive recruitments.
"I feel they should have signed Kounde from Sevilla! I know they were very close to signing him, and I think they have made a big mistake by not getting that deal done.
"The board was really close to getting him signed, but it seems they took too long. They took too long for a player of his quality, and you can't do this with a player like Kounde after the season he just had. He was magnificent last season.
"Chelsea need players of Kounde's quality. Azpi is getting older, and maybe he has an opportunity to go to Barcelona. After 10 years of service, Chelsea should let him go back to his country because what he has done for the club is unbelievable. He was a great captain, so now they need to find young defenders who have the quality to play in the Premier League, and Kounde was one of the players who would fit in, and you let him go to Barcelona."

12-year-old chews through restraints to escape accused kidnapper, Alabama officials say
A man has been arrested and charged with kidnapping and murder after an escaped child and two decomposed bodies were found, Alabama officials say.
Deputies responded to a call around 8:30 a.m. Monday, Aug. 1, from a driver who found the girl walking near County Road 34, Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said during an Aug. 2 news conference posted to Facebook by The Alexander City Outlook. Following the initial investigation, officials arrested Jose Pauline Pascal Reyes, 37, on Monday on a first-degree kidnapping charge.
While looking through Reyes’ home, investigators say they located two decomposed bodies, which are being identified, Abbett said. Reyes was then charged with three counts of capital murder and two counts of abuse of corpse Tuesday, according to an Aug. 2 news release from the sheriff.
Reyes is being held in the Tallapoosa County Jail awaiting a bond hearing, the release says.
The 12-year-old kidnapping victim was tied to a bed post for about a week and drugged using alcohol until she chewed through her restraints and escaped, according to details from the affidavit that the sheriff’s office confirmed during the news conference.
“She’s a hero,” Abbett said. “We gave her medical attention, and she is safe now, so we want to keep her that way.”
Officials have not yet revealed the relationship between the victims and Reyes, and the identities of the bodies found in Reyes’ home have not been released.
Tallapoosa County is about 65 miles northeast of Montgomery.

MINISO attributes its fast growth to its MINISO Retail Partner model, claiming it's an asset-light, high-margin network of thousands of independent franchise stores who shoulder capital and operating expenses while selling company-branded products.
These claims came into question on July 26, 2022, when Blue Orca published a scathing report about MINISO. Blue Orca determined that the company itself owns and operates about 40% of MINISO stores and, in addition, hundreds of stores are registered to company executives or persons connected to its Chairman. Blue Orca attributed MINISO's secret ownership and operation to years of declining store revenues and profits.
Blue Orca also concluded that, shortly after MINISO completed its $600 million IPO in October 2020 "that MINISO's chairman, Ye Guofu, bilked hundreds of millions of freshly raised capital from public investors through a series of crooked transactions revolving around the purchase and construction of a massive headquarters in China."
This news sent the price of MINISO American Depositary Shares sharply lower on July 26, 2022.
More recently, on July 29, 2022, Blue Orca responded to MINISO's July 28 "rebuttal," stating MINISO (1) simply ignored Blue Orca's finding that the company owns and operates about 40% of MINISO stores, and (2) admitted its chairman did not contribute funds to purchase MINISO's headquarters.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether MINISO lied about its Retail Partner model," said Reed Kathrein, the Hagens Berman partner leading the investigation.

During the pandemic, my family and I went down a DIY rabbit hole. We learned a whole new set of skills, like how to make pasta from scratch, fix leaky faucets, and tie-dye T-shirts.
And we’re not alone. For many, these past couple of years have been a period of self-assessment, or a “great reevaluation,” during which we discovered gaps in our knowledge and took steps to fill them. In 2021, more and more people around the world invested in growing their skill sets, with searches like “online learning,” “ideas for beginners,” and “how to invest” increasing year over year.
Now that we can once again buy pasta at the store and let plumbers into our homes, DIY searches have begun to return to pre-pandemic levels. However, searches for programs that allow people to quickly learn new skills continue to grow. Is this a permanent shift in adult education and, if so, how will it affect the future of business?
To find out, my team partnered with Ipsos to conduct research studies on higher education and careers, two areas heavily impacted by the rise of remote work and learning. Though we conducted these studies separately, the results of each overlapped, suggesting that people link furthering their education with advancing their careers. At a time when many employers are struggling to attract and retain talent, this creates an opportunity for businesses to support their employees’ continuing education while simultaneously building a highly skilled workforce.
To help you take advantage of this opportunity, we’ve pulled two key insights from our research along with two ways your business can act on these findings.
INSIGHT #1: CONTINUING EDUCATION IS THE NEW NORMAL
In the past, higher education traditionally meant attending a four-year university right after high school and earning a degree. But today, people often view higher education as a way to switch careers or move up in their current one. Our research shows that 57% of U.S. employees are either actively seeking or open to a new job, and education can be the path for them to get there.
For a deeper dive into this finding and into the reality that adult learners face today, my team spoke with Marni Baker Stein, provost and chief academic officer of Western Governors University (WGU), a nonprofit online university that has pioneered a learning model that creates a better connection between what students learn and what skills they need to succeed on the job. She believes the “education for career mobility” trend is now so prominent that it’s transforming the profile of a higher education student. “Broadly speaking, the new higher ed student is working full time, is a caretaker for their family, and is not in that traditional 18- to 24-year-old range,” she says.
This type of student needs flexibility and a clear return on their time and financial investments. According to Baker Stein, universities like WGU will periodically assess their offerings and ask, “What is the value of this program out there in the world of work, and what job roles or occupational types does this set of skills correspond to?” Then they update those programs to teach the skills in highest demand.
“Learning with [Google’s online learning program] gave me the flexibility to take courses on my own time,” said Chelsea Rucker. A graduate of Grow with Google’s IT Certificates course, Rucker was hired, and later promoted, to a program manager position at Google. “Without the flexibility to get up at 4 a.m. to finish work while my daughters sleep, I’d never have been able to earn my certificate so quickly.”
ACTION: MEET YOUR EMPLOYEES’ EDUCATIONAL NEEDS
Fifty-nine percent of the workers we surveyed said they actively maintain or develop skills to be more attractive in the job market and improve their career trajectory, while only 45% of those surveyed said their employers offer upskilling or reskilling as a benefit. You can set your organization apart by offering company-sponsored skill development that maps clearly to other roles, rather than leaving your employees to pursue external learning and career opportunities. This is especially important for midlevel workers who are most likely to resign.
And this investment benefits your bottom line. When leaders offer growth and internal mobility opportunities, they retain their employees nearly twice as long as their peers. What’s more, a BCG study found that 81% of survey respondents said better aligning educational curricula with job openings and skills gaps could resolve the skills mismatch their businesses face.
INSIGHT #2: SHORT COURSES CAN MAKE A BIG IMPACT
Short courses are overwhelmingly popular among this new group of higher education students. For example, aggregate searches for courses in management, data science, and digital marketing have grown by 35% year over year. And, unlike traditional degree programs, short courses can be focused on specific skills. In fact, 46% of the people we surveyed who are considering a short course for the first time cite the ability to quickly learn a new skill as the reason for their interest. This convenient, hyperfocused learning provides the close link between investment, skills gained, and career mobility that adult learners have come to expect.
“Short-form credentials are critical to the future of work, where individuals are going to have to reskill and upskill many times throughout our careers,” said Baker Stein.
ACTION: RETHINK THE WAY YOU EVALUATE JOB CANDIDATES
Certificates and short courses may not be the traditional credentials that employers look for, but they reflect self-motivated learners who have current, in-demand skills. You can open up your talent pool considerably by taking short-course credentials seriously during the candidate evaluation process.
“As a culture, we have gotten used to [college] credits meaning a sort of level of readiness,” says Baker Stein. However, she believes “short-form, more flexible, agile learning experiences are so powerful for learners across the life cycle, whether you’re 15 or you’re 24 or you’re 50.” Because of this, she advises employers to ensure they have “the right HR processes or people in talent protocols to value short-form credentials.”
Certificates and short courses reflect self-motivated learners who have current, in-demand skills.
Just as employees are reevaluating their lives and evolving their approaches to education and career mobility, businesses need to reconsider their internal processes.

Former Napoli defender, Kalidou Koulibaly has slammed his 'disrespectful' ex-club owner, Aurelio De Laurentiis following the latter's assertion that he will not sign African players unless they agree to forfeit playing in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Koulibaly who spent eight years at Napoli said De Laurentiis should appreciate and regard African players just like he(De Laurentiis) holds high European players.
The Senegalese, however, believes the comment by the club owner is solely his opinion and not a reflection of Napoli as a club.
“…you cannot speak about an African national team like this. You have to have respect like you have for a European team… I respect what he thinks, it’s up to him but I think not everybody has that same idea at Napoli,” he said a quote by BBC sports journalist, John Bennett.
De Laurentiis stated in an interview on Wall Street Italia talk show that he has warned his people in charge of transfers not to suggest the signing of African players to him 'anymore'.
“I told them, lads, don’t talk to me about Africans anymore!” said De Laurentiis during a streamed event.
“I love them, but either they sign something confirming they’ll back out of playing the Africa Cup of Nations, or otherwise between that tournament, the World Cup qualifiers in South America, these players are never available!" he added.
“We are the idiots who pay salaries only to send them all over the world playing for others.”
The Napoli owners' frustration is borne out of losing his key players to the African Cup of Nations which is played between January and February.

I kept hearing about CBD oil's benefits for chronic pain. Like, a lot. It was all over my newsfeed, and a topic of conversation among my friends. They kind of wouldn’t shut up about it.
So, I decided to do my own research because for one, I didn’t quite believe them, and two, because I suffer from chronic pain. If this magical CBD oil could help, I wanted to know everything I could.
RELATED: Here’s How To Be A Better Wife Or Girlfriend In Your Relationship (With The Help Of CBD Oil)
What Is CBD Oil?
CBD stands for cannabidiol, a compound found in the marijuana plant. GASP! I know, I know, the idea of marijuana brings to mind psychedelic trips and junk food sessions on the couch. But, CBD isn’t the stuff that gets you high (that’s THC). Instead, CBD offers a whole host of relaxing healing properties without the actual ‘getting stoned’ part.
According to scientific studies, CBD has been shown to reduce inflammation, curb pain, and promote relaxation. All of which sounds pretty darn good to someone who suffers from chronic pain. Plus, it’s natural, which seemed way better to me than taking harsh medications.
It turns out that CBD is legal around the U.S (as long as it contains little or no THC,) and that people all over the country are using it to treat pain.
RELATED: How To Use CBD For Stress Relief & Better Sleep
Testing CBD Oil Benefits For Chronic Pain
After reading the research, I wanted to give this stuff a try. You see, I’ve had chronic pain in my jaw joints (TMJ) for the past 13 years. Because of some bad orthodontics as a kid, I now suffer from stiff jaw joints, arthritis, inner ear pain, neck pain, facial muscle spasms, and soreness from my temples to my chin. There’s lots of clicking, popping, and moving around, which makes it difficult to eat.
And, because of all the pain, it’s difficult to find a comfortable position to sleep, snuggle with my boyfriend, or chew certain foods.
While I used to pop ibuprofen for the pain, I realized how damaging those pills can be to the body (especially the liver and kidneys). Taking this kind of medication every day for 13 years surely would have caused some internal damage. So, I deal with it. I tough it out, and when it’s just too much pain to handle, I will occasionally take an Advil.

You can probably guess how pumped I was to learn about this new, natural remedy. While there are a ton of CBD oil salves and creams out there, I went with Exhemplary Life’s muscle and joint balm. It has 125 mg of CBD (which is a moderate amount compared to other products) and smells like lavender (my fave).
The balm comes in a push-up stick, so it was easy to apply right to my skin. I rubbed it on the area of my face from my temples to my chin and I rubbed some directly on my jawline and behind my ears.
After applying it, I noticed a few things within the first five minutes. First, it felt like my jaw muscles were warming up. Not like an Icy Hot kind of burning, but just warm. Then, I could feel that my jaw started to relax (normally I’m doing some kind of clenching to keep it in place.)
Eventually, I started to notice what felt like tiny muscle spasms in my face around my jawline. Maybe the muscles are loosening up? It felt pretty great and smelled good too.
Related Stories From YourTango:
My only complaint is that I wish it lasted a bit longer. After 20 minutes, I felt like I had to reapply to get the same effects as in the first five minutes.
I’m excited to keep using it though because I’ve read that the longer you use CBD products, the more effective they become on your body. So, we’ll see! I’ll be keeping my eye on more CBD options to see what works!

Bloomfield — At a special meeting on July 28, the Bloomfield Town Council voted to appropriate $1.5 million to make improvements to the town’s two library buildings.
The Town Council had directed the Library Building Committee to move forward with increasing the square footage of the new Prosser Library plan by 30,169 square feet. The committee found that the cost would be $1.5 million, but would increase significantly - to $2.5 million, due to inflation - if the funding is delayed beyond the end of July, hence the special meeting to act on the funding. The funds would also include some renovations to the P. Faith McMahon Wintonbury Library.
The resolution includes the appropriation of a $1 million Library Construction Grant from the state for the Prosser Library project. Funds are being moved from several line items in the 2023 Capital Fund budget, including IT improvements, open space acquisition, and others, including $200,000 to renovate the Town Hall mechanical room floor.
In the public comment portion of the meeting, residents were overwhelmingly in support of the increase. One asked that any leftover funds be returned to the accounts.
“My only request is, if any of that $1.5 million isn’t used,” said resident Gail Riley, “if that money could be put back from where it was taken from.”
A second resolution approved the use of unionized workers for the library projects. Presentations had been previously made by the Greater Hartford-New Britain Trades Council at Administration and Education Subcommittees meetings, citing the benefits of using a Project Labor Agreement for the project.
Support from residents who spoke at the public hearing was also notably in favor of using union workers. The proposal also includes a 25% local worker rate, meaning Bloomfield residents will be utilized to work on the projects.
“When you go cheap, when you go non-union, you get what you pay for,” one resident said. “Unions work safe. They have a plan on safety. They have a plan on how to finish the job on time. They try to bring in more people for fair wages - honest work, honest money. You can’t go wrong with that.”
The motion passed unanimously for the funding, and 8-0 with one abstention for the union contract.

General News of Wednesday, 3 August 2022
Source: www.ghanaweb.com
Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia has emphasized the need for Ghanaians to continue to peacefully co-exist and to consolidate efforts at doing so.
He believes Ghana's high ranking in continental and global peace rankings was a testament to the impact of people of different faiths tolerating one another over the decades.
Bawumia, while speaking at the launch of the 175th-anniversary celebrations of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church Ghana (EPCG) in Accra on Sunday, July 31, 2022, cited himself as a testament to how different faiths can co-exist.
He disclosed growing up with a Methodist mother and being an active part of a Methodist Boys' grouping.
All that changed when his mother, then Susana Mariama, reverted to Islam - the faith her husband practised.
“We live in a society where a mother and some children could be Christians and a father and some children could be Muslims. As a young boy at Sakasaka primary school in Tamale, I was born to a Methodist mother (then Susana Mariama) and a Muslim father.
"Growing up I was an active member of the Methodist Boys’ Brigade until my mum changed to Islam. I suspect I am the only Muslim member of the Boys’ Brigade. Till date, out of my seventeen siblings, nine are Christians and eight are Muslims. That is the beauty of the religious acceptance in Ghana,” he revealed.
In September 2021, Bawumia lost his mother, Hajia Mariama Bawumia. She passed on in Accra at 81 and was buried later beside her husband in Kperiga, near Walewale in the Northeast Region.
Ghana ranks high on GPI 2022 ranking
Ghana was last month ranked the second most peaceful country in the sub-Saharan Africa region only behind the island nation of Mauritius.
This is according to the 2022 edition of the Global Peace Index, GPI, report released this week.
TWI NEWS
The country's overall score was 1.759 as compared to 1.715 in 2021, the score also placed Ghana as the 40th most peaceful country on the global ranking of 163 countries.
The global rank means Ghana dropped two steps from the 38th spot in 2021. Per the 2021 global scores, Ghana is sandwiched between Kuwait and Albania.
Completing the top five most peaceful African countries are The Gambia (45th globally), Botswana (48th) and Sierra Leone (50th) in that order.
What Bawumia said about the ranking
“This is a remarkable feat that must be guarded jealously without any compromises no matter what. Both the Bible and Quran place much emphasis on the matter of peace.
"And it is gratifying to note that in Ghana we have such a religiously tolerant and acceptable society that makes it effortless for a Christian priest to worship with Muslims and vice versa, to the point that a Muslim Chief Imam could celebrate his 100th years anniversary with Christians in the church,” he stressed.

(NEXSTAR) — A day after announcing she’d remove a controversial lyric from a song on her new album “RENAISSANCE,” music superstar Beyoncé is facing a new high-profile request for an edit on one of her older songs.
Beyoncé said Monday she’d replace the word “spaz” from “Heated.” It’s a slang word often used to refer to mean going “wild” with spastic movements but it’s become increasingly seen as an ableist slur that’s offensive to those who are disabled and/or experience spasms. Singer and rapper Lizzo was also recently criticized for her use of the word on her song “Grrrls,” prompting a replacement of the lyric.
In the wake of the “Heated” re-edit, former White House intern and current anti-bullying activist Monica Lewinsky is now asking Beyoncé to remove a sexual reference to Lewinsky in her 2013 song “Partition.”
“Uhmm, while we’re at it… #Partition,” Lewinsky tweeted Tuesday.
“Partition,” released as the third official single from Beyoncé’s eponymous fifth album, contains a reference to Lewinsky’s sexual relationship with then-President Bill Clinton. During the time of their affair, between 1995 and 1997, Lewinsky was a 24 year-old White House intern. The political scandal grabbed global headlines for months and led to an impeachment for Clinton and a public spotlight for Lewinsky.
Some countered Lewinsky’s tweet, saying her Twitter bio includes the phrase “rap song muse,” in addition to the fact that Beyoncé is far from the first artist to refer to Lewinsky in song.
“Actually, it’s how I’ve learned to deal with painful or humiliating things… I find the humor. Eg. my TED Talk,” Lewinsky replied. Back in 2015, Lewinsky gave a widely celebrated TED Talk called “The Price of Shame,” in which she detailed the vitriol and public humiliation she faced after the Clinton scandal.
“I was Patient Zero of losing a personal reputation on a global scale almost instantaneously,” Lewinsky said in the talk.
Lewinsky has advocated against cyberbullying, citing the negative attention and impact on her personal life over the years. In a 2014 Vanity Fair editorial, Lewinsky explained she’d frequently been rejected for employment because of baggage associated with her name.
Lewinsky, 49, says she hasn’t reached out to Beyoncé’s representatives officially.
Meanwhile, contention over using the now-removed word continues. While some in the Black community have pushed back against critics, saying its usage is tied to African-American Vernacular English, or AAVE — though others in the Black community have also pushed back against this argument, too.
On Tuesday, writer Victoria Gagliardo-Silver explained in a Yahoo! News editorial that as a Black disabled woman she’s unsure how she feels, saying, “I find myself torn. No one deserves to feel as if they’re facing ableism, but in my opinion the word clearly wasn’t used in an ableist context in ‘Grrrls’ or ‘HEATED.’”
But Australian disability advocate Hannah Diveney, who is white, argues Beyoncé’s usage illustrates a continued disregard for the disabled community. Diveney argues Beyoncé’s mega-star status also makes this instance particular offensive.
“… the teams of people involved in making this album somehow missed all the noise the disabled community made only six weeks ago when Lizzo did the same thing,” writes Diveney for the Australian disability support outlet Hireup. “I’m so tired. Disabled people deserve better. I don’t want to have this conversation again.” | https://www.news10.com/news/national/monica-lewinsky-wants-beyonce-to-change-lyric-in-partition-after-music-star-edits-new-song/ | 2022-08-03T18:09:32Z | https://www.news10.com/news/national/monica-lewinsky-wants-beyonce-to-change-lyric-in-partition-after-music-star-edits-new-song/ | true | 21 |
Coffee County Purchasing Commission approved Monday, Aug. 1 a proposal by Coffee County Realty to handle the marketing and auction of the former Arrowheads to Aerospace Museum property.
The commission met on Wednesday, July 27 but had some questions that needed clarification concerning the proposal to auction the 4.36 acres.
The driving force for choosing Coffee County over the two other bidders, Weichert, Realtors -Joe Orr & Associates and Mark Messick for Exit Reality, was the proposed commissions.
Weichert’s bid requested 3.5% and Exit’s was split, 2.5% to the county and 2.5% to the buyer (or a full 5% buyer’s premium), while Coffee County asked for an even 2%. All three bids offered a dual online and in-person auction.
Commissioner Jimmy Hollandsworth said, “Everything I see on paper, I think all of them are great, but in my opinion, Coffee County Reality should do it. They are good at selling. They’re all local.”
When polled by Chair Margaret Cunningham, all the members present agreed with the selection.
Commissioner Bobby Bryan added, “I feel that we owe it to the citizens and taxpayers of Coffee County to get the best value. I think it boils down to the commission rates.”
The commission also voted to have a commercial property assessment, which was suggested by Bryan.
“I feel that an appraisal by an independent, commercial appraiser will allow us to arrive at the most fair market value, and a decision about what that amount would be for the county,” Bryan said.
He said that this would be the only way for the commission to decide what the reserve would be (the minimum that the county would accept for the property). The commission did not decide if the reserve would be at or just below the appraised value, but the commissioners all agreed that both those figures would remain confidential. The appraisal will be both for the 4.36 acres as a whole and split into two 2-acre tracts.
Hollandsworth said that the move to hire an appraiser looks professional and assures the people of Coffee County that they are getting the proper value from the sale.
County Attorney Robert Huskey told Purchasing Agent Stephanie Bush that he “hopes (she) can secure that as quickly as possible.” Bush confirmed the process would begin immediately.
Later in the meeting Huskey asked Coffee County Realty representatives if they could recommend an appraiser.
Bush said that she would contact professionals who use those services often and other counties for recommendations. She said she would look to larger areas and places outside the county.
“—the only problem with that is time,” Huskey said.
Addressing the timeline for the process, Bryan addressed a sense of urgency expressed at the series of planning meetings.
“I’m not wanting to rush the process, especially when it comes to sale of taxpayer’s county property,” Bryan said.
“I don’t know what the market future is going to be. I don’t think a darn person in here knows what it’s going to be for sure. I’m not looking to drag this out but I’m not thinking we have some fast moves here because we’re like here we have a deadline of 30 days or 45 days,” he said.
Coffee County Realty’s Steve Jernigan told the commission that “to pull a good sale together, that can happen within two weeks. We prefer 30 days, maybe even 45 to put a good game plan together.”
The group said that a commercial appraisal could take between 30-60 days.

Family of man that died in custody and allegedly eaten by rats at Alvin S. Glenn launches lawsuit
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) - The family of a man found dead while in custody at the Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center (ASGDC) launched a lawsuit Wednesday.
The 27-year-old Lason Butler was found dead on the morning of Feb. 12. An attorney for the family, Bakari Sellers, said in a briefing that Butler had been found with rat bites on his body and had died in the solitary confinement area.
Butler had been in custody since Jan. 31 and was facing traffic charges that included reckless driving, failure to stop for a blue light and driving with a suspended license.
On April 6, it was announced Butler’s death was ruled a homicide by the Richland County Coroner’s Office. Sellers said, “This is the worst civil rights case I’ve ever seen.”
Butler’s mother, Lakeshia Butler, said, “They took my son, I still don’t have any answers.”
“I hurt every day, there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t miss my son,” she continued. She said that she attempted to bail her son out and had the money to do it but was told her there was a hold on her son’s release.
John Matthews, Lason Butler’s father, said, “Think about what you’ve done to my son.” Matthews said, “He didn’t deserve this.”
Sellers said of Butler’s treatment, “Subhuman conditions of confinement and deliberate indifference to serious medical needs are responsible for the homicide death of a 27-year-old man in a mental health crisis who was being detained on misdemeanor charges.” Richland County and ASGDC employees were named as the defendants in the lawsuit.
The presentation said Butler was denied medical care by Alvin S. Glenn detention staff, refusing to allow a nurse to check on his condition. Eye witness testimony from other inmates in the facility provided statements saying Butler was denied water and had been screaming for help.
Sellers provided a timeline of statements from staff and the director to the family discussing his condition. Medical reports said Butler lost 42 pounds over 11 days. Butler died of dehydration and was shown to have an elevated sodium level at the time of death.
Sellers showed in the presentation photos of the alleged bite marks on Butler’s body from rats.

Walt Disney World is filled with many attractions from thrill rides such as Expedition Everest to family-friendly attractions such as Peter Pan’s Flight. One of the most popular attractions at Walt Disney World is the Kilimanjaro Safaris, which allows Guests to board a ride vehicle as they are brought on a tour through the safaris at the Disney Park.
While aboard the Kilimanjaro Safaris, Disney Guests can spot several different animals including hippos, bongos, flamingos, lions, giraffes, rhinos, and more!
When riding Kilimanjaro Safaris recently, Guests felt as though they were on Kali River Rapids instead as a severe storm rolled in.

Disney World Guests ended up getting soaked while riding Kilimanjaro Safaris as an unexpected storm rolled in, with high winds and downpouring rain.
TikTok user dvc_park_hoppers caught the vent on camera and shared a video to social media, along with the caption:

More on Kilimanjaro Safaris
Over the years, the Kilimanjaro Safaris at Disney’s Animal Kingdom have changed and developed to keep up with the times. One of the major changes the Disney World ride has made involves real life rifles!
When the ride first opened in 1998, drivers would use the rifles and pretend to shoot them at fake poachers, but the entire storyline has since been scrapped and is no longer part of the current version of Kilimanjaro Safaris.
Go Wilder at Night
Venture onto the savanna for a safari tour after dark—and see the animals in a whole new light.

#PassTheCrown
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., Aug. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- The CROWN Coalition, a national alliance founded by Dove, National Urban League, Western Center on Law & Poverty and Color Of Change, along with 100+ supporting members of the CROWN Coalition are excited to announce Massachusetts as the latest state to ban school officials and employers from discriminating against individuals based on their natural hair and protective hairstyles. On Tuesday, July 26, 2022, Governor Charlie Baker (R) signed The CROWN Act into law, prohibiting hair discrimination in schools and workplaces. Representative Steven Ultrino (D-Boston) first introduced the bill which was co-sponsored by Representative Chynah Tyler (D-Boston), Senator Adam Gomez (D-Springfield), and Senator Sal DiDomenico (D-Middlesex).
The Massachusetts legislation known as the CROWN Act states that no school district, school committee, public school or nonsectarian school shall adopt or implement a policy or code that impairs or prohibits natural hairstyles. The law bans workplace discrimination based on the use of natural or protective hairstyles, which includes natural hair texture, as well as styles including twists, locs, braids, and bantu knots. The department of elementary and secondary education shall provide written guidance for the administration about this new law.
"We are so excited to see Massachusetts enact the CROWN Act," stated Esi Eggleston Bracey, President Unilever USA, CEO North America Personal Care. "Dove is proud to be a leader of the CROWN Act movement and on behalf of the CROWN Coalition, we thank and applaud Representative Ultrino for his championship of The CROWN Act in Massachusetts and Governor Baker for signing this critical legislation into law. Now Massachusetts residents are free and protected against any harmful policies that prevent educational or employment opportunities based on a natural or protective hairstyles. This brings us to 18 states that have enacted The CROWN Act or legislation inspired by the CROWN Act and we continue to advocate for the passing of federal legislation in the U.S (United States)."
On March 18, 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the CROWN Act, which protects against prejudice based on hair texture and protective styles, including locs, cornrows, twists, braids, and Bantu knots. The bill now heads to the Senate, where Democratic Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey sponsored the chamber's version of the bill. These natural hair styles would be protected under Titles VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Fair Housing Act, and other Federal civil rights laws. As a proud co-founder and champion of the CROWN Coalition, Dove is committed to progressing The CROWN Act until hair discrimination is abolished in all 50 states and at the federal level.
To support the movement, we encourage everyone to help us #PASSTHECROWN to end hair discrimination in the U.S. by signing the petition and emailing your Senator at www.dove.com/crown.
The CROWN Coalition is the official national creator of the CROWN Act movement; an alliance founded by Dove, National Urban League, Western Center on Law & Poverty and Color Of Change, along with 100+ CROWN Act supporting organizations. The CROWN Act movement is led by a team of Black women: Esi Eggleston Bracey (CEO of Unilever North America Personal Care), JOY Collective Agency leaders Kelli Richardson Lawson and Orlena Nwokah Blanchard (CEO and President), and Adjoa B. Asamoah (ABA Consulting CEO and chief legislative strategist), working with a consortium of Black leaders within the community who are committed to advancing legislation to end natural hair discrimination once and for all.
The CROWN Act and laws inspired by the CROWN Act have been enacted in 18 states: California (2019), New York (2019), New Jersey (2019), Virginia (2020), Colorado (2020), Washington (2020), Maryland (2020), Connecticut (2021), Delaware (2021), New Mexico* (2021), Nebraska* (2021), Nevada (2021), Oregon* (2021), Illinois* (2021), Maine (2022), Tennessee* (2022), Louisiana* (2022), and Massachusetts (2022). *Legislation inspired by the CROWN ACT
Dove has also expanded its work to incorporate diversity in swimming, ensuring an end to hair discrimination in the workplace, schools, and pools. The CROWN Coalition members believe diversity and inclusion are key drivers of success across all industries, sectors, and society at large.
