GODDARD, Kan. (AP) — A new federal study said dozens of people got sick after visiting a splash park near Wichita, Kansas, last summer.
The study by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said that 21 people contracted Shigella bacteria and six others became sick with the norovirus after visiting the splash park at Tanganyika Wildlife Park in Goddard. Another 36 people reported gastrointestinal illnesses after visiting the splash park but didn't have lab tests confirming what caused their illnesses, according to The Wichita Eagle. At least four people were hospitalized afterward.
Previously, state and local health officials had said that eight people who visited the park contracted Shigella and other people tested positive for the norovirus, sapovirus and a type of E. coli called enteropathogenic E. coli.
The CDC report is based on a survey of 404 people who visited the splash park last year between May 28 and June 19.
The splash park located about 14 miles (22.53 kilometers) west of Wichita was allowed to reopen last July after upgrading its pump and filtration system and passing a health inspection.
The report confirmed the illnesses weren’t linked to any of the animals at the interactive zoo.
At least three lawsuits have been filed against the splash pad. One of those was settled, but two others remain pending.
The director of the wildlife park Matt Fouts told the newspaper he didn’t find the study useful although he’s “all for analyzing data to learn from the past.”
“It offered little advice for other splash parks besides ensuring you have signage that states ‘don’t swallow the water’ and offered no additional insight into the investigation,” Fouts said. “Regardless, it did affirm that there have been no additional incidents because we took the situation seriously and found ways to enhance our system and processes so that the Splash Park is safer than ever.” | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Report-Dozens-got-sick-after-visiting-Kansas-17357925.php | 2022-08-07T23:19:17Z | https://www.milfordmirror.com/news/article/Report-Dozens-got-sick-after-visiting-Kansas-17357925.php | false | 20 |

EXPLAINER: Why the term ‘genocide’ matters in Ukraine war
WASHINGTON (AP) — When President Joe Biden declares Russia’s Ukraine war “genocide,” it isn’t just another strong word. Calling a campaign that’s aimed at wiping out a targeted group “genocide” not only increases pressure on a country to act, it can oblige it to. That’s partly because of a genocide treaty approved by the U.N. General Assembly after World War II, signed by the United States and more than 150 other nations.

Reality check for sports
It has been a lukewarm week for Kenyan sport with our national junior team finishing fourth at the World Under-20 Championships that ended in Cali, Colombia, on Saturday.
Kenya has also struggled to pan for gold at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, England, having bagged four gold, five silver and seven bronze going into last night’s final athletics session.
In Cali, Kenya finished with 10 medals - three gold, three silver and four bronze - to wind up behind USA, Jamaica and Ethiopia.
We congratulate our young gold medalists at the World Under-20 Championships Reynold Cheruiyot (1,500 metres), Betty Chelangat (3,000 metres) and Faith Cherotich (steeplechase), along with the silver and bronze winners.
However, it’s worth noting that fourth place is the lowest Kenya has ever placed since 1998 when the championships were held in Annecy, France, having finished in the top three ever since, and topping the medals table in the last two championships in Nairobi last year and in Tampere, Finland, in 2018.
At the Commonwealth Games, once again athletics brought us all the medals save for lone ranger Hellen Wawira’s brilliant bronze in the para power-lifting.
This despite Kenya having fielded one of the largest ever contingents with the country represented by 123 athletes across 17 different disciplines. The message from Cali and Birmingham is clear, that other nations are fast rising and our federations and coaches must put in an extra shift.
Not even our traditional staples are safe, as was witnessed in the men’s steeplechase in Birmingham where India’s surprise package Naib Subedar Avinash Sable sneaked in for silver, denying Kenya a 1-2 sweep, and indeed at the recent World Championships in Eugene, USA, where Morocco’s Soufiane El Bakkali bagged the gold.
Kenya has previously won medals in boxing, with our sevens rugby team also holding enormous potential, hence the concern over the dearth of our medal-winning capacity in recent times. As we celebrate the gains in Cali and Birmingham, let’s re-engineer our potential as we build up to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris and other major global engagements. | https://nation.africa/kenya/blogs-opinion/editorials/reality-check-for-sports-3906726 | 2022-08-07T23:42:07Z | https://nation.africa/kenya/blogs-opinion/editorials/reality-check-for-sports-3906726 | false | 1 |
Albuquerque police seek car in killings of 4 Muslim men
Published: Aug. 7, 2022 at 7:38 PM EDT|Updated: 6 minutes ago
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Police investigating whether the killings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque are connected said Sunday they need help finding a vehicle believed to be connected to the deaths.
Police said the vehicle sought is a dark gray or silver, four-door Volkswagen with dark tinted windows.
A Muslim man was killed Friday night in Albuquerque.
Authorities are investigating whether there are connections between that killing and the ambush shooting deaths of three Muslim men over the past nine months in New Mexico’s biggest city.
Authorities said they can’t say yet if the shootings were hate crimes until they have identified a suspect and can determine a motive.

(The Hill) – Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) received a warning early Sunday morning to follow the Senate’s decorum rules after he accused Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) of being “deceitful” and “dishonest” and vowed “we’re going to call you out.”
“This gives phony and cynical a bad name,” Graham exclaimed when Hassan introduced her amendment.
Graham’s outburst at Hassan prompted Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) to remind the South Carolina senator sternly not to impugn the motives of a fellow senator.
Murphy reminded Graham and all senators not to “impute to another senator or other senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming of a senator.”
The admonishment came after Graham slammed Hassan, who faces a competitive re-election race this November, for proposing an alternative to his amendment to strike a $16.4-cent-a-barrell tax on imported petroleum products and foreign oil refined in the United States.
“They wouldn’t let you do this in professional wrestling. If you think people are this dumb, you’re going to be sadly mistaken,” Graham fumed on the floor.
Graham warned Democrats on Friday the e debate and vote-a-rama on the budget reconciliation would be “hell.”
Graham accused his colleague Sunday morning of fake theatrics after Hassan urged colleagues to vote for what she called her own amendment to strike the surcharge on barrels of oil — something she proposed moments after voting against Graham’s amendment to repeal the surcharge.
The key difference was that Graham’s amendment was set at a 50-vote threshold and had a chance of passing if one Democrat voted “yes” while Hassan’s amendment had to overcome a 60-vote threshold and therefore had no chance of becoming part of the bill, even if more than 50 senators voted for it.
“What she’s doing is trying to strike the provision that she just voted against but it requires 60 votes so she can for repealing a gas tax she just voted against [repealing,]” Graham declared, accusing Hassan of trying to “look good for the voters.”
“What you’re doing is deceitful. It’s dishonest. And we’re going to call you out,” Graham vowed.
That direct attack prompted Murphy to step in.
“The senator are reminded to address each other through the chair and in the third person,” he said.
“Senators are reminded to address all remarks through the chair in the third person and to be mindful of Rule 19,” he said.
Murphy as the presiding officer at the time of the heated exchange could have ordered Graham to take his seat.
The Senate’s Rule 19 allows the presiding officer to “call to order” a senator who directly attacks or insults a fellow senator.
If such a formal rebuke is made, the offending senator’s words will be read aloud to the Senate and the presiding chairperson can order the senator to sit down and be quiet.
Graham settled down after Murphy’s warning. | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/news/u-s-world/graham-warned-to-follow-decorum-rule-after-he-attacks-democratic-colleague/ | 2022-08-07T23:46:34Z | https://www.arklatexhomepage.com/news/u-s-world/graham-warned-to-follow-decorum-rule-after-he-attacks-democratic-colleague/ | true | 22 |
The new EV tax credit bill passed the Senate and buyers of all-electric cars or trucks are anxiously waiting to see what’s going on with the $7,500 they thought they would get. Rivian’s CEO is now being messaged by hundreds of pre-order holders. They want to sign! Here’s why and what’s going on.
The Senate unsurprisingly passed the updated EV tax credit bill. This will very soon change a couple of things. One of the modifications brought by this act is that automakers like Rivian or Lucid won’t have any more $7,500 tax credits to give. Under the new provisions, their vehicles in the current configuration wouldn’t be eligible any longer.
However, the bill must now be passed by the House of Representatives and signed into law by Joe Biden. There’s still time to make some decisions regarding what electric car companies can do for their pre-older holders that want to receive the $7,500. Fisker, for example, acted immediately and notified its customers that their deposits will be transformed into non-refundable payments. This would offer anyone interested the chance to become a party with a “written binding document to purchase” meaning the buyers could eventually get their $7,500 in 2022 to be used for the 2023 tax filings.
Now Rivian pre-order holders are asking for the same thing. The company’s CEO RJ Scaring received already hundreds of emails from prospective buyers and the automaker should decide on the matter soon enough.
“As I’m sure you are aware, the “Transition Rule” in the passed legislation allows for anyone with a “written binding agreement” in place before the President signs the bill to have the option to utilize the existing credit. Your preorder holders have (mostly) patiently borne the delays that are inherent with a startup car manufacturer. But these delays are now putting us in a position where many of us may not be able to go through with our purchases in absence of the $7,500 tax credit,” reads the document sent to Rivian’s CEO.
However, not everyone agrees with this strategy. A Rivian R1T pickup truck now costs $67,500, while the R1S SUV starts from $72,500. Some customers think this letter is just a polite way of “asking for handout money.” They argue that someone looking to buy such an expensive vehicle shouldn’t worry about a tax credit.
Finally, Rivian might eventually want to do this for its pre-order holders, but it wouldn’t be able to deliver – or survive. Locking in via buyer’s agreements hundreds or even thousands of low-priced orders that were made before the parts sourcing issues and inflation started to make a dent in the company’s financial plans would most likely be devastating.

Jorja Smith, Beverley Knight and UB40 are among the acts confirmed to perform at the 2022 Commonwealth Games closing ceremony in Birmingham.
The Games will draw to a close after 11 days of sporting action with a high-octane production celebrating the musical heritage of the West Midlands.
The closing ceremony, at the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham, will see performances from artists including Apache Indian, Beverley Knight, Dexys Midnight Runners, Goldie, Jacob Banks, Jaykae and Jorja Smith.
Laura Mvula, Ash, Mahalia and Musical Youth will also be performing, along with Neelam Gill, Panjabi MC, Talulah-Eve, The Selecter and UB40.
In a tribute to one of Birmingham’s major exports of the past decade, the closing ceremony will feature a sequence from the much-anticipated theatre show Peaky Blinders: The Redemption Of Thomas Shelby.
British singer Mvula will give a special performance of a newly commissioned track inspired by Nick Cave’s Red Right Hand, the TV series’ theme song.
Written and adapted for the stage by the show’s creator Steven Knight, the theatre production will receive its world premiere at Birmingham Hippodrome on September 27 as part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival.
Martin Green, chief creative officer of the Birmingham Games, said: “With this closing ceremony, we wanted to create a spectacular line-up of global artists from the West Midlands for an exhilarating musical production to conclude an unforgettable 11 days of sport and culture.
“The medley of high-octane performances will celebrate the vibrant energy and cultural heritage of this incredible city, as we bring these spectacular home Games to a fitting end.”
The closing ceremony will also include a formal handover to the state of Victoria, Australia, which is hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “The past 11 days have been a shining example of the power of sport in strengthening the ties between our unique partnership of Commonwealth nations.
“I’d like to thank the brilliant volunteers, the roaring crowds and every athlete who has dived, hurdled or wrestled their way to victory for making these Commonwealth Games the best yet.
“And I am particularly proud of the city of Birmingham for being fantastic first-time hosts and welcoming our Commonwealth friends with open arms – cementing the UK’s well-deserved reputation for hosting major sporting events on the global stage.
“The success of Birmingham 2022 will be measured not only in medals won or records broken, but also by the number of people inspired to take up sport as a result, and who will be able to thanks to this Government’s massive investment in grassroots sport in recent years.
“And when the athletes fly home and the banners come down, it’s the people of the West Midlands who will reap the rewards from the lasting economic legacy these Games have secured that will drive trade, jobs and growth across the region for a generation to come.”
The closing ceremony will be broadcast on BBC One and BBC iPlayer and will signal the end of an event in which 4,500 Commonwealth athletes competed across 19 sports and eight para sports.
The ceremony takes place on Monday at Birmingham’s Alexander Stadium.

(The Hill) – Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), whose criticism of former President Trump has alienated some Republicans, said in a new interview that the GOP is “very sick” and predicted it could take “several cycles” for the party to heal from internal strife and aggressive extremism.
Cheney told The New York Times a little more than a week before her primary challenge against a candidate endorsed by Trump that she is a Republican for life but not a supporter of the current state of the GOP.
She said the GOP is “continuing to drive itself in a ditch and I think it’s going to take several cycles if it can be healed.”
Cheney also questioned other rising stars in the Republican Party, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Reps. Marjorie Taylor Green (Ga.) and Lauren Boebert (Colo.).
The Wyoming lawmaker told the Times that DeSantis has “lined himself up almost entirely with Donald Trump,” which she said could be “dangerous,” and also that she would rather serve with most Democratic women than Republicans like Greene and Boebert.
“What the country needs are serious people who are willing to engage in debates about policy,” she told the Times.
Cheney, the vice chair of the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, was among 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump over the rioting.
The congresswoman also went to great lengths during a series of congressional hearings this summer to place Trump at the center of the Capitol attack, alleging he was directly responsible for the attempted insurrection after repeating false election claims, pushing to find ways to swing the 2020 election in his favor, and urging rioters to march on the Capitol.
Cheney’s campaign against Trump has had an impact on the race. She is trailing Trump-backed candidate Harriet Hageman ahead of the primary by around 20 points, according to a Casper Star-Tribune poll released last month.
Facing an uphill battle, Cheney has listed instructions on her website informing Democrats and independents how to register as Republicans to support her in the primary.
Last week, she also aired a new campaign ad with her father, former Vice President Dick Cheney, who said Trump was a “coward” and a “threat to our republic.”
Liz Cheney, however, has said telling the truth about Jan. 6 is more important than winning reelection.
“If I have to choose between maintaining a seat in the House of Representatives or protecting the constitutional republic and ensuring the American people know the truth about Donald Trump, I’m going to choose the Constitution and the truth every single day,” she said on CNN last month. | https://www.ketk.com/news/cheney-gop-is-very-sick/ | 2022-08-08T00:07:55Z | https://www.ketk.com/news/cheney-gop-is-very-sick/ | false | 23 |

West Virginia tight end Mike O'Laughlin tries to break a tackle after a catch against Texas Tech in 2021. Still recovering from a knee injury last season, O'Laughlin is optimistically slated to return to action in late September.
MORGANTOWN - The early days of fall football camp are usually times of unbridled optimism. Newcomers and transfers are touted as perfectly filling the gaps they were recruited to address, returnees are uniformly described as bigger, stronger and faster, and there are no losses on the right hand side of the won-loss ledger to dampen spirits.
While many of those things may play out in a positive manner, there are also some issues that are glossed over, not addressed or lost in the waves of early player profiles and improvement assessments. West Virginia, like most every school, has a few of those, and one of them is the tight end position.
It's not as if the Mountaineers are deficient in terms of numbers at the spot. Head coach Neal Brown has been working to build that room from the afterthought it was under the previous staff into one that can help in both the blocking and receiving games, but a combination of injury, transfers and inexperience left it with more question marks than answers entering the 2022 season.
There's no question that redshirt junior Mike O'Laughlin has the ability to fill all of those roles. However, the Glen Ellyn, Illinois, native has been crushed with injuries during his Mountaineer career, starting with a knee injury as a true freshman that kept him out the entire 2018 season.
A one-game suspension in 2020's COVID year was a relative blip, as O'Laughlin started all nine of the other games, but 2021 was a stop-start-stop affair in which he missed the first two games, returned for action in five, but was then knocked out for the remainder of the year with another knee injury.
Since then, it's been a drawn-out recovery, with hopes that he might return for the bowl game, spring practice or the start of fall camp all failing to materialize. For now, a late-September return is the stated goal, but that has to be viewed askance, given the rehabilitation process to date.
It was clear that the coaching staff, even after hitting the recruiting trail hard for the future, was worried about the spot, as it brought two-time transfer Brian Polendey in for a final year.
Polendey is viewed primarily as a blocker, but he has flashed some ability to catch the ball during spring practice and early fall drills. In the blocking game, he's the equal of O'Laughlin, but in the receiving game he's an unproven quantity. He's expected to be the starter against Pitt.
Behind Polendey is a group of youngsters, including Treylan Davis, Victor Wikstrom, Trace Weitzel, Corbin Page, Will Dixon and Theo Grabill, who are either first-year players or have next to no experience on offense.
All of that works against the stated desire of the coaches to incorporate the use of tight ends to a greater degree, especially in the passing game, this year.
Now, though, comes another potential addition, albeit one that is being tagged at a different spot. Freshman C.J. Donaldson is a hybrid-sized (6-2, 240 pounds) pass catcher who lined up at both wide receiver and tight end and occasionally in the backfield for Gulliver Prep in Miami during his high school career.
Initially expected to flex between an attached tight end spot and out wider in the slot, Donaldson has been working out of the backfield in early Mountaineer practices.
"He did a lot in high school with the ball in his hands," said WVU running backs coach Chad Scott, who saw a mix of skills in Donaldson's game film. "I wasn't sure how he would respond to it, but he was very open to it. He said, 'Coach, I'm just a ballplayer, just put the ball in my hands.'
"It's been very impressive to see how he's picked up on things. He's done a phenomenal job outside the game, studying the offense. We've thrown him into the fire and he hasn't been nervous at all. These last two days he's gotten a lot of reps and he's starting to come around."
Scott has to stop himself from delivering too much praise to Donaldson, who is making something of a position switch in the transition from high school to college. And while he's in Scott's room, and being called a running back, he'll still be filling a number of duties that a tight end or H-back would.
"He'll be a kid that can play running back and hybrid and flex out wide. We are excited about him. We recruited him to play the tight end position, but because of his versatility and his athleticism and ability to run at that size ... he's come in physically imposing. We found a gem. Right now, four days in, he's only had about two missed assignments. He's been impressive to be around.
"We are doing a lot of twinning personnel, with two backs in the game, and he can [fill either of those roles]," Scott continued. "He might be the guy going in motion. He's very versatile."
All of that sounds great, and from a long-term perspective it holds a lot of promise. Donaldson's skills, coupled with the size and strength of the newcomers, would appear to give WVU lots of options in the future.
But that's not the immediate future, as in the 2022 season, where the Mountaineers might again be working with a patchwork scheme until O'Laughlin can return. | https://www.wvgazettemail.com/sports/blue_gold_news/wvu-football-with-olaughlin-out-tight-end-position-still-a-work-in-progress/article_5edb061c-1f1f-59bc-81de-f02fb936b271.html | 2022-08-08T00:16:04Z | https://www.wvgazettemail.com/sports/blue_gold_news/wvu-football-with-olaughlin-out-tight-end-position-still-a-work-in-progress/article_5edb061c-1f1f-59bc-81de-f02fb936b271.html | true | 1 |

Premier denies creating job for minister, but says he discussed a number of roles
By Lucy Cormack
NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet admits he discussed “a number of roles” for Transport Minister David Elliott to consider if he did not recontest the next election, but insisted no promise was ever made.
The premier conceded on Monday that he had a number of private conversations with Elliott about other ways he could serve NSW, amid revelations he offered to create a post-politics trade role for the minister as a sweetener for dumping him from cabinet.
Perrottet addressed the revelations after The Sun-Herald reported on Sunday that he suggested creating a parliamentary trade job for Elliott and also discussed the agent-general role in London with him.
He said creating parliamentary roles and ministries was his job as premier, but it was “completely false and offensive” to suggest any commitments were made to Elliott.
“David Elliott was never promised a job outside of politics. That is deeply offensive and wrong,” he told 2GB’s Ben Fordham on Monday. (2GB is owned by Nine, the publisher of this masthead.)
“It’s disappointing to see private conversations in terms of where I would make appointments ending up in the paper.”
The agent-general position is under the spotlight amid the worsening trade job scandal engulfing the Perrottet government since the controversial appointment of former deputy premier John Barilaro to a US post.
Barilaro will front a parliamentary inquiry into his trade appointment on Monday, while an internal spat over the deputy leadership of the Liberal Party will come to a head at a party room vote on Tuesday.
Government sources with knowledge of discussions between the premier and Elliott have confirmed Perrottet this year canvassed two trade-related options with the transport minister, including a parliamentary secretary position that did not exist.
The premier’s office did not respond to questions put by the Herald about his discussions with Elliott for the role. Asked by Fordham why his office on Saturday did not reject the claims “on the record”, Perrottet said he was now “more than happy” to state publicly that he considered the claims untrue.
“As part of my role as premier I always look to put the best team on the park and look at what ways they can contribute to serving the people of NSW,” he said.
“I create parliamentary secretary roles and I create ministries. That is my job as premier.”
Perrottet on Monday said it was common for members of parliament, when seeking to leave politics, to talk to colleagues in relation to what they want to do next.
“At that time, minister Elliott did not want to recontest the next election, but was interested in being part of the team going forward.”
Perrottet said the pair discussed “a number of roles” Elliott could play within the parliament.
“David and I canvassed opportunities for him to continue to serve and make a contribution to the people of our state,” he said.
Barilaro on Monday will make his first appearance at the inquiry examining his appointment to the $500,000 a year US trade role, from which he has withdrawn.
Perrottet said he was still awaiting the findings of an independent review he had ordered into the appointment of Barilaro as US trade commissioner, which has raised concerns about the public service recruitment process.
Stuart Ayres was last week forced to resign as trade minister over his role in the saga, amid claims he was not at arm’s length from the process. He has denied any wrongdoing in the process.
The premier on Monday said that, while the department secretary was responsible for making the final decision on trade appointments, it was clear “there have been flaws in that process”.
He said he had sought a further review into whether Ayres breached the ministerial code of conduct.
“It’s important to get to the facts,” he said. “Sometimes things are politically challenging. I accept that. But my job as premier of NSW is to do what is right and allow people proper process.”

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Mike Yastrzemski homered twice, Thairo Estrada also connected and the San Francisco Giants won their seventh consecutive interleague road game, 6-4 over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday.
Logan Webb bounced back from his worst outing of the season and allowed four hits in seven innings, helping the Giants take three of four in the Bay Bridge series. Brandon Crawford added two hits, and Austin Slater had a pinch-hit RBI double.
Seth Brown hit his 17th home run for the A’s. Vimael Machin doubled and scored twice.
Oakland scored twice in the eighth and got two runners on in the ninth against Camilo Doval before the Giants closer struck out Brown swinging and got Jed Lowrie to ground out for his 14th save.
Yastrzemski hit his 10th home run on an 0-2 pitch from Adrián Martínez leading off the third, a towering solo shot to right-center.
After Estrada’s two-run drive against A.J. Puk in the sixth also on an 0-2 pitch, Yastrzemski went deep again, this time off Austin Pruitt in the eighth for his fourth career multi-home run game and first this season.
Six days after giving up six runs in five innings to the Dodgers, Webb (10-5) was much more efficient and crisp in winning for the first time in three weeks. The right-hander carried a no-hitter into the fifth, worked around three walks and finished with five strikeouts.
The Giants have won eight of 11 against the A’s going back to 2020.
Martínez (2-3) allowed two runs in 4 1/3 innings after being called up from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.
WHOOPS
Slater put the Giants ahead 2-0 when he doubled over the head of 5-foot-6-inch left fielder Tony Kemp to drive in Crawford. Kemp initially broke in on the ball then jumped as it sailed over his head and rolled to the wall.
ROSTER MOVES
The Giants claimed outfielder Steele Walker off waivers from Texas and optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento. San Francisco also optioned infielder Yermin Mercedes to Sacramento.
A’s infielder Dermis Garcia was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas to clear room for Martínez.
SIX ENTER A’S HOF
Sal Bando and Joe Rudi, who were anchors on the A’s three consecutive World Series championship teams in the 1970s, were inducted into the franchise’s Hall of Fame during a pre-game ceremony. Also inducted were six-time Gold Glove third baseman Eric Chavez, former long-time clubhouse manager Steve Vucinich, two-time All-Star catcher and ex-broadcaster Ray Fosse and director of player development Keith Lieppman.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Giants: Estrada was activated off the 7-day concussion injured list before the game.
UP NEXT
Giants: LHP Alex Wood (7-9, 4.42 ERA) pitches against the Padres in San Diego on Monday. Wood allowed a season-high-tying six earned runs against the Dodgers on Aug. 2.
Athletics: LHP Cole Irvin (6-8, 3.04) faces the Angels for a second consecutive start Monday in the opener of a three-game series. Cole lost to Los Angeles on Aug. 2 despite allowing two runs in six innings.

Karen Raschke, a retired attorney in New York, started getting her groceries delivered early in the pandemic. Each delivery cost $30 in fees and tips, but it was worth it to avoid the store.
Then earlier this spring, Raschke learned her rent was increasing by $617 per month. Delivery was one of the first things she cut from her budget. Now, the 75-year-old walks four blocks to the grocery several times a week. She only uses delivery on rare occasions, like a recent heat wave.
“To do it every week is not sustainable,” she said.
Raschke isn’t alone. U.S. demand for grocery delivery is cooling as prices for food and other necessities rise. Some are shifting to pickup — a less expensive alternative where shoppers pull up curbside or go into the store to collect their already-bagged groceries — while others say they’re comfortable doing the shopping themselves.
Grocery delivery saw tremendous growth during the first year of the pandemic. In August 2019 — a typical pre-pandemic month — Americans spent $500 million on grocery delivery. By June 2020, it had ballooned to a $3.4 billion business, according to Brick Meets Click, a market research company.
Companies rushed to fill that demand. DoorDash and Uber Eats began offering grocery delivery. Kroger — the nation’s largest grocer — opened automated warehouses to fulfill delivery orders. Amazon opened a handful of Amazon Fresh groceries, which provide free delivery to Prime members. Hyper-fast grocery delivery companies like Jokr and Buyk expanded into U.S. cities.
But as the pandemic eased, demand softened. In June 2022, Americans spent $2.5 billion on grocery delivery — down 26% from 2020. For comparison, they spent $3.4 billion on grocery pickup, which saw demand drop 10.5% from its pandemic highs.
That’s causing some turmoil in the industry. Buyk filed for bankruptcy in March; Jokr pulled out of the U.S. in June. Instacart — the U.S. market leader in grocery delivery — slashed its own valuation by 40% to $24 billion in March ahead of a potential IPO. Kroger said its digital sales — which include pickup and delivery — dropped 6% in the first quarter of this year.
Some think delivery demand could drop further. Chase Design, a consulting firm, says its surveys show the number of U.S. shoppers who plan to use grocery delivery “all the time” has fallen by half since 2021.
Cost is the biggest reason. Peter Cloutier, the growth and commercial strategy lead at Chase Design, said it’s difficult to get groceries to a customer’s door for less than a $10 premium, which covers labor and transportation. Often, that cost is higher.
Consider a basket of eight staples from Target, including a gallon of milk, a dozen eggs and a pound of ground beef. In store, the order would ring up at $35.12. Target offers curbside pickup for free. Delivery costs $9.99, not including a tip.
DoorDash also offers delivery from Target, but it charges more for each item on its website. The cart rings up at $39.90 from DoorDash, which then adds $12.18 in taxes and delivery fees. If the consumer adds a $10 tip, that totals $62.08.
Both DoorDash and Target offer free delivery through subscriptions, but those come with a monthly or yearly fee.
The premiums are tough to swallow on top of skyrocketing food prices. In June, U.S. grocery food prices were up 12.2% over the last 12 months, the largest increase since April 1979, according to government data.
Cynthia Carrasco White, an attorney for a nonprofit in Los Angeles, got accustomed to grocery delivery during the pandemic. She still prefers it, since her youngest child isn’t fully vaccinated and it saves time.
But earlier this summer, as gas prices approached $7 and a box of strawberries neared $9, she got serious about cutting costs.
White now toggles between Instacart, Uber Eats, Walmart and others, using whichever has the best offers and coupons. She will sometimes spend two hours filling a delivery cart and then wait to see if more promotions are posted before she finishes her order. And she has cut back on the amount she tips drivers.
“The economy has definitely taken the wind out of our sails,” she said. “It’s just this endless pressure.”
Retailers are responding by varying delivery prices by time of day. On a recent morning, Walmart offered to deliver a $35 order within two hours for $17.95; that dropped to $7.95 if the order could be delivered between 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.
But cost isn’t the only reason some consumers are moving away from delivery. Cloutier says many customers are wary of the quality of items selected by workers.
“There’s a trust gap between what the shopper wants to get and what the retailer fulfills,” Cloutier said.
Delivery companies are trying to improve that. Last month, Uber Eats announced upgrades to its online grocery offering, including the ability for consumers to see the products as workers scan them.
But even that may not entice some shoppers.
Diane Kovacs, a college lecturer in Brunswick, Ohio, has been using curbside pickup for nearly a decade. It saves her money, she says, because she doesn’t get sucked into impulse buys inside the grocery.
She got her groceries delivered briefly during the pandemic and she didn’t mind paying $10 or $15 a week for the service. But she still prefers pickup. She likes driving her dogs to the store and chatting with the employees.
“I think that people are not using delivery because they want to get the heck out of the house,” she said.
True demand for grocery delivery is tough to calculate. Usage can swing wildly when COVID cases rise or companies offer discounts, said David Bishop, a partner at Brick Meets Click.
But he sees some patterns emerging. Households with young children and people with mobility issues are sticking with delivery. People over 60 have generally gone back to shopping in person.
Bishop says delivery saw five years of growth in the first three months of the pandemic, and demand is probably still elevated. Eventually, he expects delivery sales to settle into more regular growth of about 10% per year. But delivery won’t go away, he said.
“I don’t see it moving all the way back to pre-COVID levels. That can has been opened up,” he said. | https://www.wnewsj.com/news/211228/demand-for-grocery-delivery-cools-as-food-costs-rise | 2022-08-08T00:40:39Z | https://www.wnewsj.com/news/211228/demand-for-grocery-delivery-cools-as-food-costs-rise | true | 34 |
N.Korea to convene parliament, anti-epidemic meeting amid zero COVID claim
North Korea will convene two key meetings, including one to review the country's anti-epidemic policy, in coming weeks, state media said on Monday, as it claims no new COVID-19 cases since late July.
North Korea will convene two key meetings, including one to review the country's anti-epidemic policy, in coming weeks, state media said on Monday, as it claims no new COVID-19 cases since late July. The North Korean Supreme People's Assembly (SPA), the isolated state's rubber-stamp parliament, will meet on Sept. 7 to discuss law on rural development and organizational matters, according to the official KCNA.
Separately, North Korea decided to hold a national meeting for emergency anti-epidemic review early August "to confirm the new orientation" in its policy. The COVID meeting comes as North Korea has said last week all of its patients with fever have recovered, marking the end of its first wave of the coronavirus pandemic since its admission of the virus outbreak in mid-May.
The reclusive country has never confirmed how many people were infected with COVID-19. But it said around 4.77 million fever patients have fully recovered and 74 have died since late April. North Korea's parliament rarely meets and usually serves to approve decisions on issues that have been created by the state's powerful Workers' Party, members of which form the vast majority of the assembly.
The decision to convene the parliament came at a plenary meeting of the SPA's standing committee on Sunday, KCNA said. At the weekend meeting, the participants adopted the law on medicines to establish a "strict system" to promote public health, among other issues.
Other matters on the table included revising the aerospace development law "to further legalize the activities" in the field and adopting the "law of self-guard" to establish what it calls "all-people self-guard system" to protect people's life and property, KCNA said, without elaborating. Space launches have long been a sensitive issue on the Korean peninsula, where North Korea faces international sanctions over its nuclear-armed ballistic missile programme.
In March, North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un called for expanding its space rocket launch site to advance its space ambitions, after South Korea and the United States accused it of testing a new intercontinental ballistic missile under the guise of space development.

CHICAGO — Jesús Luzardo allowed one hit over seven innings for his first win since April, and Jacob Stallings and Peyton Burdick hit back-to-back home runs as the Miami Marlins beat the Chicago Cubs 3-0 on Sunday to prevent a three-game sweep.
Yan Gomes singled with two outs in the fifth off Luzardo (3-4). Nick Madrigal's leadoff single in the ninth against Tanner Scott was Chicago's only other hit. Scott then got a groundout and two strikeouts for his 15th save.
Charles Leblanc opened the fifth with a double off Adrian Sampson (0-3) before Stallings put Miami on the board with his third homer of the year, a two-run drive just over the left-field fence.
Burdick connected on the next pitch for his first major league home run. He got his first career hit Saturday.
Luzardo struck out six and walked one in his first win since April 30. It was only Miami's second victory in nine games.

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot found himself in the middle of a controversy after he made a remark on rapes in the country, which reportedly hurt the sentiments of many women, said the Delhi Commission for Women on Sunday.
The DCW, which is a women’s body in the capital, slammed CM Ashok Gehlot and said that he should stop “using the language of rapists”. The DCW further said that his comments on rape were an insult to victims like Nirbhaya, as per ANI reports.
"Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot should stop using the language of rapists, the way he made fun of Nirbhaya has hurt the sentiment of rape victims. We struggled a lot to bring the law that rapists of small children be hanged," Chairperson, Delhi Commission for Women, Swati Maliwal told ANI.
The DCW's note came in wake of the western state chief's remark where he held the centre accountable for the law against the rapists and had said that after the law to hang the rape accused came into force, the incidents of murder after rape has increased across the country.
Maliwal cautioned Gehlot and said that his remarks “made fun” of Nirbhaya, who was the victim in the 2012 Delhi rape case. The DCW chief further said that the Rajasthan CM’s remarks were insulting rape victims across the country.
Swati Maliwal also stressed that the minister should implement law stringently in his home state as Rajasthan had numerous rape cases on the fore. "Instead of making such useless remarks, it's the responsibility of CM Ashok Gehlot to implement the law stringently as Rajasthan itself witnesses a lot of rape cases," she added.
Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot sparked a controversy when he said that due to the law implemented to hang the rapists, the incidents of murder after rape have increased across the country.
During a Congress rally, Gehlot had said, “Due to the law on the hanging of culprits after the Nirbhaya case, the incidents of murder after rape have increased. This is a dangerous trend being seen in the country.”

Though best known for its burgers and fries, McDonald’s says that right now, breakfast is leading sales compared to lunch and dinner.
“It’s a change,” said Christopher Kempczinski, McDonald’s CEO, on a conference call with investors and analysts on July 26. “If you remember, a few years ago, I think there were a bunch of questions about breakfast.”
Why the McMuffin is outpacing the Big Mac
In the past, fast-food breakfast was hit hard as people stayed at home during the earlier stages of the pandemic. But a few things have changed since then. More days in the office means that convenience-based breakfast items from fast-food chains have returned as well, said Robert Byrne, director of consumer insights at Technomic, a food service consulting firm. Commuting to the office is part of a broader trend of people reverting to pre-pandemic habits, as seen with consumer behavior toward delivery and indoor workouts—demand for both food delivery and Peloton bikes has cooled.
Secondly, rising prices are changing how people spend. The appeal for breakfast items reflects broader industry trends of people looking for value-priced items, according to NPD, a market research firm. In the past three months, traffic at fast-food chains had fared better during breakfast than at lunch and dinner time, according to NPD.
Fast-food chains tend to do well during economic downturns, as people shift to cheaper options rather than ditching eating out altogether. The demand for value comes as prices for groceries rose by 12.2% year-over-year, while food-away-from-home prices rose 7.7%, according to the latest numbers from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Chipotle said, on an earnings call this week, that while higher-income customers continue to purchase at the same frequency, low-income customers are pulling back. McDonald’s also noted that low-income customers are reaching for value offerings and fewer combo meals. | https://qz.com/inflation-is-making-mcdonalds-breakfast-a-success-1849343105 | 2022-08-08T01:12:48Z | https://qz.com/inflation-is-making-mcdonalds-breakfast-a-success-1849343105 | false | 1 |
UK Economy Probably Entered Its Worst Slump Since Lockdown
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Gordon BrownPrime Minister of the United Kingdom from 2007 to 2010
- Liz TrussBritish politician (born 1975)
(Bloomberg) -- The UK economy probably shrank for the first time since the nation was in a coronavirus lockdown at the start of 2021, adding to pressure for action from the contenders vying to take over as prime minister.

YOLO Stock Bulls Say Wake Me When Fed Tightening Starts to Bite
Gross domestic product for the second quarter probably shrank 0.2%, according to a survey of economists by Bloomberg News ahead of the official figures due to be published this week.
The drop would mark a pause in the recovery from the pandemic and the start of a more protracted downturn, which the Bank of England expects to last into early 2024. That outlook is roiling the race to replace Boris Johnson as leader of the ruling Conservative Party and prime minister.
Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, who are competing in the race set to conclude in September, spent the weekend promoting their ideas to help. The central bank last week forecast that inflation will accelerate past a 40-year high to more than 13% this year, weighing heavily on consumer spending power.
Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown and the BOE’s former Chief Economist Charlie Bean this weekend added their voices pushing for an aid package that would help those hardest hit. They say the measures Johnson’s government brought forward earlier this year aren’t enough.
“The main package for households was worth about £15 billion, and there is certainly a case for something of at least that magnitude again,” Bean said in an interview on Times Radio.
Brown called for an emergency budget, warning that almost half of all households will tip into fuel poverty this winter because of a surge in the cost of electricity and natural gas.
“A financial time bomb will explode for families in October as a second round of fuel price rises in six months sends shock waves through every household and pushes millions over the edge,” Brown wrote in the Observer newspaper. He’s scheduled to appear on ITV on Monday.
The remarks and the outlook for rising natural gas prices add to the pressure on Truss and Sunak to explain what they would do to revive the economy.
Truss, the front-runner, has said she’d push through immediate tax cuts to help. Sunak, the former chancellor of the exchequer, says those measures would take too long to implement and wouldn’t help enough of those most in need.
A YouGov poll published on the front page of the latest edition of the Times, which is backing Sunak, suggested that most voters would rather the next prime minister focus on tackling inflation and the looming cost-of-living crisis rather than slashing taxes.
The economic backdrop is deteriorating rapidly as the surge in inflation makes businesses and consumers more cautious about spending.
The GDP report probably will show that the economy shrank 1.2% in June alone, held back in part by bank holidays to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s jubilee.
The BOE warned last week that the UK probably will enter recession in the fourth quarter of this year and keep shrinking for the whole of next year.
Energy prices are the biggest factor weighing on households. Starting in October, utilities will be allowed to charge £4,000 ($4,860) a year for the average power and gas bill, the highest level ever and almost four times the level of a year ago.
The BOE last week said gas futures are now about double the level they were in May, triggering a big increase in the central bank’s outlook for inflation.
Truss spent the weekend drawing attention to her vow for an immediate tax reduction and said that measure could help prevent a recession.
“I do not believe in resigning our great country to managed decline or accepting the inevitability of a recession,” Truss wrote in the Sunday Telegraph. “I would use this to immediately tackle the cost-of-living crisis by cutting taxes, reversing the rise on national insurance and suspending the green levy on energy bills.”

From Day One, President Joe Biden's immigration policy has been largely incoherent. It's now verging on a crisis.
In June, authorities recorded 191,898 apprehensions at the border, following more than 222,000 the previous month. Would-be migrants have been processed after crossing the southwestern border more than 1.7 million times so far this year, already exceeding last year's record-setting tally. Distinctive catastrophes — such as the deaths of 53 migrants in an abandoned tractor-trailer in San Antonio in June — have only punctuated these grim figures.
With this influx has come a host of related problems. Human trafficking has surged. Huge amounts of illegal weapons and drugs — in particular, fentanyl — have turned up at the border. So far this year, 56 migrants have been flagged by the Terrorist Screening Database, up from 15 last year. More than 15,000 unaccompanied children were picked up in June alone. Border-state governors have been sending busloads of asylum seekers to Washington, where social-safety nets are fraying as a result.
These trends are very unlikely to improve without bold action.
During his four years in office, President Donald Trump attempted to reduce migrant flows using two programs. The first, known as Remain in Mexico, required most asylum seekers to remain south of the border while their cases were processed. In response to legal challenges and the start of the pandemic, that policy was set aside in favor of another measure, Title 42, which allowed for widespread expulsions on public-health grounds. Though implemented haphazardly — in keeping with Trump's generally cruel and incompetent approach to the border — both policies had the effect of significantly slowing unauthorized entries.
As for Biden? He's been trying to shut down both programs since the start of his presidency, without specifying plausible alternatives. He has proposed a funding cut for border apprehensions and removals. He published an ill-conceived reform structure that seemed to act as an invitation for further migration without laying the necessary groundwork. Vice President Kamala Harris — deputized by Biden to head up a response to the crisis — has spent just three days in Latin America over 16 months.
Such inattention has allowed obvious problems at the border to fester, while giving unauthorized migrants the false hope that they'll be allowed entry to the U.S.
The bottom line is that all asylum seekers have a right to have their claims heard in court, yet the U.S. must ensure the system doesn't get completely overwhelmed. Of the imperfect options available, Remain in Mexico (formally, the Migrant Protection Protocols) makes the most sense. The Biden administration has been begrudgingly working with the Mexican government to improve this program, including by expanding the hiring of immigration judges to speed case reviews and providing migrants with more lawyers. It should also work to ensure they have safe housing and job opportunities and to reduce the distances they have to travel for court appearances. With such improvements in place, and buy-in from Mexico, the policy should help restore order to the asylum process while addressing humanitarian concerns.
Longer-term, the U.S. needs comprehensive reforms that would pair increased funding for law enforcement and immigration courts with an expanded guest-worker program, which would relieve pressure on the border and ease labor shortages in the agriculture and food-producing industries. Meanwhile, added investment, public and private, in northern Central America could help stem the violence and poverty that have caused so many to flee in the first place.
The problems at the southern border are complex but not unsolvable. They should never have reached this point of near-crisis. What's most needed now is leadership. | https://m.startribune.com/biden-the-border-needs-you/600196487/ | 2022-08-08T01:18:12Z | https://m.startribune.com/biden-the-border-needs-you/600196487/ | true | 13 |

India should set up small modular reactors to meet energy demands: Niti member V K Saraswat
Saraswat also said nuclear power plant projects which have been set up under the fleet mode production, should be accelerated, so that India is able to meet base load requirements at the earliest.
New Delhi: Niti Aayog member and scientist V K Saraswat on Sunday suggested that the government should focus on setting up small modular reactors as it would help meet the country's energy needs and also in replacing aging thermal power plants.
Saraswat also said nuclear power plant projects which have been set up under the fleet mode production, should be accelerated, so that India is able to meet base load requirements at the earliest.
"We are suggesting that in future we should go for small modular reactors which will be able to meet this (energy) requirements in a distributed manner.
"And we are also thinking that it will be the best approach for replacing the aging thermal power plants," he told in an interview.
Small modular reactors (SMRs) are advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 300 MW(e) per unit, which is about one-third of the generating capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors.
Under the fleet mode, a nuclear power plant is expected to be built over a period of five years from the first pour of concrete.
According to Saraswat, the advantage of an advanced modular reactor is that it is factory fabricated and can be operated by any agency and there could also be a larger participation of the private sector in that.
Currently, India operates 22 reactors with a total capacity of 6,780 MW in operation.
Last year in December, Minister of State in the Department of Space and Department of Atomic Energy Jitendra Singh had said the share of nuclear power in the total electricity generation in the country was about 3.1 per cent in 2020-21.
"The net-zero targets are expected to be met through a combination of various clean energy sources, including nuclear power. In this context, the present nuclear power capacity of 6,780 MW is planned to be increased to 22,480 MW by 2031 on progressive completion of projects under construction and accorded sanction. More nuclear power reactors are planned in future," Singh had said.
Replying to a question on India's energy security, Saraswat, a former chief of the Defence Research and Development Organisation said,"Our energy security per se has improved drastically as we are not an energy starved nation any more."
He asserted that today India is meeting all its energy demands domestically.
"As far as power generation is concerned, we are better off. We have solar power, which is almost the cheapest in the world...And the cost of setting up a solar plant has come down," Saraswat noted.
Asked to respond to Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao's allegation that the Centre is forcing states to import coal for thermal power stations, Sarasawat said these statements need scrutiny.
" Coal import is going on, in case of coastal power plants. It is cheaper for coastal power plants to import coal compared to transporting across states for example from Odisha to down south in Karnataka," he argued.
Asserting that coal has been made available to all thermal power plants, Saraswat said, "Landlocked states which already have thermal power plants, are supplied coal even when loads have gone up."
For example, he recalled that during this summer, the loads peaked up and there was hue and cry over coal availability for power plants.
"And by working with the Railways in tandem, we were able to provide coal (to power plants across states). So managing, what is called increased demand has been done in a very efficient manner," Saraswat said.
Recently, Rao had alleged that the BJP-led NDA government is corrupt, and the government at the Centre would be replaced and there would be inquiry on the 'misdeeds' such as coal import pressure on states. | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/power/india-should-set-up-small-modular-reactors-to-meet-energy-demands-niti-member-v-k-saraswat/93417720 | 2022-08-08T01:38:35Z | https://energy.economictimes.indiatimes.com/amp/news/power/india-should-set-up-small-modular-reactors-to-meet-energy-demands-niti-member-v-k-saraswat/93417720 | true | 9 |

Updated August 7, 2022 at 3:18 PM ET
Senate Democrats, after weeks of negotiations to revive the core of their election-year agenda, passed a spending bill which would attempt to tackle climate change, the high cost of prescription drugs and lower the deficit by roughly $300 billion.
Late Saturday night and into Sunday morning, Senators voted on amendments to Democrats' major spending bill that tackles health care, climate and taxes.
The legislation was passed through the budget reconciliation process, which means all 50 Democrats and one tie-breaker vote from Vice President Harris were needed, since none of the 50 Republican senators voted for the bill. It also restricts the measures in the bill to those that directly change federal spending and revenue.
Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Saturday that despite a few cuts from the Senate parliamentarian, the bill overall is still a legislative win for Democrats.
"It's been a long, tough, winding road," Schumer said before the final vote Sunday.
Democrats have argued the measure will tackle voters' main economic concern, naming it the Inflation Reduction Act. Republicans argue the new spending will aggravate inflation. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office says, though, the bill has a "negligible" effect on inflation in 2022 and into 2023.
Overall, the bill is a very scaled-down solution to what many Democrats, including President Biden, had asked for originally.
"This bill is far from perfect. It's a compromise. But it's often how progress is made," Biden said at the White House last month. "My message to Congress is this: This is the strongest bill you can pass."
After passage in the Senate, the House plans to take up the bill at the end of the week and then send it to President Biden for his signature.
Here's a look at some of what did get included in the Democrats' bill, and what didn't.
You can see the entire 755-page bill here.
Tackling climate change
More than $300 billion would be invested in energy and climate reform, the largest federal clean energy investment in U.S. history.
The bill has support from many environmental and climate activists but is short of the $555 billion that Democrats had originally called for.
This portion of the bill takes on transportation and electricity generation, and it includes $60 billion for growing renewable energy infrastructure in manufacturing like solar panels and wind turbines.
It also includes several tax credits for individuals on things like electric vehicles and making homes more energy efficient.
The bill would, according to Democrats, lower greenhouse gas emissions by 40%, based on 2005 levels, by the end of the decade, which is short of the 50% Biden had originally aimed for.
"It puts us within a close enough distance that further executive action, state and local government efforts and private sector leadership could plausibly get us across the finish line by 2030," said Jesse Jenkins from Princeton University, who leads the REPEAT Project analyzing the impact of government climate actions.
Lowering the cost of prescription drugs
On health reforms, the bill takes on making prescription drugs more affordable — but there are some limits.
The bill includes a historic measure that allows the federal health secretary to negotiate the prices of certain expensive drugs each year for Medicare.
But this won't impact every prescription drug or every patient, and it won't take effect quickly. The negotiations will take effect for 10 drugs covered by Medicare in 2026, increasing to 20 drugs in 2029.
The portion of the bill that tried to cap at $35 per month the price of insulin — a drug that is incredibly expensive in the U.S. compared to other countries — was ruled out of order by the Senate parliamentarian, who ruled the cap could apply on Medicare, a government program, but not on private insurance. So, Democrats split the measure between Medicare and private insurance — but Republicans ultimately blocked the measure for private insurance.
The parliamentarian also ruled that a measure that was in the bill to force drug companies to offer rebates if prescription prices outpaced inflation was not totally in line with the rules for budget reconciliation; she said that it could apply to Medicare patients but not those with private insurers.
The bill puts a cap of $2,000 on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for people on Medicare, effective in 2025.
There's also a three-year extension on healthcare subsidies in the Affordable Care Act originally passed in a pandemic relief bill last year, estimated by the government to have kept premiums at $10 per month or lower for the vast majority of people covered through the federal health insurance exchange.
That helps millions of Americans avoid spikes in their health care costs.
Tax reform
The legislation creates a 15% minimum tax for corporations making $1 billion or more in income, bringing in more than $300 billion in revenue.
A portion that got cut, though, is one that narrowed the carried interest tax loophole. Arizona Kyrsten Sinema agreed to sign onto the bill if this measure, which would have changed the way private equity income is taxed, was cut. Democrats said it would have brought in $14 billion in revenue.
Instead, a 1% excise tax on stock buybacks was introduced, and it could bring in roughly five times as much revenue as the carried interest measure. However, it wouldn't take effect until next year, raising predictions of a rush of buybacks by some companies before 2023 rolls around.
A major portion of the bill that isn't included, due to opposition from West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, is extended the Child Tax Credit. Manchin expressed last year that the cost to extend the credit was too high, but progressives, including Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, have continued to push for its inclusion in the bill.
Sanders planned to add it as an amendment to the legislation during the all-night voting process, even without the support he needs to pass it.

LOS ANGELES – It is a roster makeover maybe unprecedented in college football history, in not only the numbers and the quickness but the sheer star power involved. The eight months between Lincoln Riley’s hiring at USC – itself speedy and stunning – and this past Friday’s first day of fall camp have been a whirlwind, as defensive coordinator Alex Grinch acknowledged the other day.
“It started on a plane flight (from Oklahoma to L.A.) in late November,” he said. “And you’re rippin’ and runnin’ from there, and trying to in every way, shape and form maximize your roster and your potential for the ’22 season. So that’s everything we’ve done up to this point, through that lens. And what that creates is the importance behind every single workout, every day, every meeting.
“And then it all leads up to this.”
Let’s call the process Riley’s Rapid Rebuild, and it could put some of those home improvement shows on TV to shame. Aided immensely by the transfer portal, the new Trojans staff reloaded quickly with an eye toward the marker the boss laid down shortly after he got here.
“Like I said in my opening press conference, before even one of these players had come in, you don’t come to USC and you don’t come to Los Angeles to do things small. You got to set your sights big,” Riley said at Pac-12 media day two Fridays ago.
“We came here competitively to win championships, win them now and win them for a long time. That will always be our expectation.”
The College Football Playoff championship game is in Inglewood this January. But no pressure.
The stated goal and the talent plucked from the portal to help USC get there – including freshmen All-Americans at quarterback (Caleb Williams), wide receiver (Mario Williams, both from Oklahoma) and linebacker (Eric Gentry from Arizona State), the reigning Biletnikoff Award winner as the nation’s best receiver in Jordan Addison (from Pitt), former Pac-12 opponents in running backs Travis Dye (Oregon) and Austin Jones (Stanford) and SEC archrivals Romello Height (Auburn) and Shane Lee (Alabama) on the defensive side – has to be heartening to the Trojan faithful.
After all, they’d grumbled for years, and the discontent reached critical mass as the Clay Helton era approached its end. The fear, assuredly, was that they’d have voted with their wallets if athletic director Mike Bohn hadn’t moved boldly.
Instead, the alumni are happy, former players are coming around again, and one of the loudest gripes of the fan base is being addressed. Discipline and accountability seemed to be missing in recent seasons, and Riley and his staff made it a priority to change that. “Discipline over default” is the team motto, and the coaches aren’t hesitant to back it up.
“He (Riley) has made it a big point to be accountable,” said senior offensive lineman Brett Neilon, one of the holdovers. “If you’re late for anything (or) you miss something, the team’s gotta do up-down pushups. Early on, we were doing 100, 200 pushups or situps after a workout. (By) the end of spring, we were doing like five or six.”
This wasn’t just for foul-ups on the field or in the meeting rooms, either. Academic transgressions such as cutting class and blowing off homework earned up-downs as punishment, too.
“You got guys that are doing their homework, going to every single class because they don’t want to let the team down,” Dye said.
Said Grinch: “It’s one of those moments where it’s, ‘Coach, you mean every workout (at max effort)?’ Yeah, we mean every workout. … I think by and large guys certainly are getting the gist that what we say we mean, and there’s an expectation that it’s daily, not sometimes.”
During spring ball it seemed like there were three Trojans teams – one going, one staying, one coming. The unofficial depth chart posted by the Ourlads scouting service lists nine transfers among the projected starters. Six are on offense, Williams, Williams, Addison, Dye, Brenden Rice (receiver from Colorado) and Bobby Haskins (left tackle from Virginia), along with edge rusher Height, linebacker Lee and cornerback Mekhi Blackmon (Colorado) on defense.
In all, the 109-man roster listed on the USC website (including walk-ons) includes 20 NCAA transfers (plus three from community colleges) and 31 holdovers who’d had any sort of playing time in 2021’s 4-8 season.
From last year’s roster, 49 players are no longer Trojans. That includes 18 seniors (and juniors Drake London and Drake Jackson, who along with senior Keontay Ingram were picked in the NFL draft). It also includes 31 underclassmen who either decided or were persuaded they’d be better off elsewhere, including last year’s top two quarterbacks, Kedon Slovis and Jaxson Dart.
The stories, of course, are legendary of coaches in previous generations running off players who were no longer useful. But the particular method in which this turnstile spun was so 2022, right down to Pitt coach Pat Narduzzi’s grousing about tampering after losing Addison.
(Or you could look at it another way: Addison as the player to be named later after Slovis went to Pitt.)
Players have the freedom to transfer and play right away, and the potential of NIL money doesn’t need to be an overt inducement to be a powerful lure. Smart coaches make sure to note the possibilities in their markets, and Riley is a smart coach operating in not only the country’s No. 2 media market but its largest with major college football.
Money has always influenced college football on the institutional level, even more so with the latest move in the conference realignment derby – you know, the one that USC and UCLA made a little over a month ago. But the guys in uniform are now getting paid, too, as they should.
And yet …
“I’m all for the players, there’s no doubt about it,” USC running backs coach Kiel McDonald said, before adding: “I think there needs to be some sort of common ground among the conferences and the teams, you know what I mean? … I just think it’s going to be hard for maybe smaller market teams to be able to continue to survive if they’re not going to be able to extend NIL opportunities like the bigger schools would.”
Yet that’s where we are in 21st-century college football, a sport where the strongest and richest always have established their dominance. Riley’s Rapid Rebuild is just another indication that USC, with its 11 won or shared national championships, is determined to flex again.

Albuquerque police seek car in killings of 4 Muslim men
The third case involves the November killing of Mohammad Ahmadi, 62, a Muslim man of South Asian descent.Police declined to say whether Friday nights homicide was carried out in a way similar to the other deaths.Authorities said they cant say yet if the shootings were hate crimes until they have identified a suspect and can determine a motive.We will bring this person or these persons to justice, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said Sunday.
- Country:
- United States
Authorities investigating whether the killings of four Muslim men are connected said Sunday that they need help finding a vehicle believed to be connected to the deaths in New Mexico's largest the city.
Albuquerque police said they released photos of the vehicle suspected of being used in the four homicides, hoping people could help identify the car. Police said the vehicle sought is a dark gray or silver four-door Volkswagen with dark tinted windows, and appears to be a Jetta.
Police did not say where the images were taken or what led them to suspect the car was involved in any of the crimes.
“We have a very, very strong link,” Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said Sunday. “We have a vehicle of interest … We have got to find this vehicle.” Police still are trying to determine if there are any connections among the killings. A Muslim man was killed Friday night in Albuquerque and ambush shootings killed three Muslim men over the past nine months.
Police said Saturday that the victim in the latest killing was a Muslim from South Asia who is believed to be in his mid-20s.
The man, whose identity hasn't yet been confirmed by investigators, was found dead after police received a call of a shooting.
Earlier this week, police confirmed that local detectives and federal law enforcement officers were looking for possible ties among the separate crimes.
Two of the men — Muhammed Afzaal Hussain, 27, and Aftab Hussein, 41 — were killed in the past week, and both were from Pakistan and members of the same mosque. The third case involves the November killing of Mohammad Ahmadi, 62, a Muslim man of South Asian descent.
Police declined to say whether Friday night's homicide was carried out in a way similar to the other deaths.
Authorities said they can't say yet if the shootings were hate crimes until they have identified a suspect and can determine a motive.
“We will bring this person or these persons to justice,” Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said Sunday.

Online sales were up 11.7% in July year-over-year, a sharp increase after months of softer growth, according to a report from Mastercard SpendingPulse, which measures in-store and online retail sales across all forms of payment.
When it came to overall spending (in-store and online), inflation impacted which categories saw increases: “The Grocery sector, for instance, saw sales up +16.8% YOY in July due primarily to food price increases.” But demand was a factor in other categories, it reported: “On the other hand, Apparel (+16.6%) and Jewelry (+18.6%) sales saw strong demand-driven year-over-year growth, well outpacing sector-specific inflation.”
And when it came to ecommerce, online sales have ticked up since the beginning of June, though July’s major promotional events helped entice shoppers to splurge (and save) with online deals, Mastercard reported.
Mastercard senior advisor Steve Sadove said consumers are hunting for deals and shopping across channels. “As retailers grapple with excess inventory and supply chain constraints, it’s likely that the promotional activity seen in July will continue to be an important strategy for retailers,” he said.
Michelle Meyer, US chief economist, Mastercard Economics Institute, said nominal spending has remained strong thus far as consumers cope with high price inflation. “As we continue to look at the strength of the consumer, we will be keenly focused on trends surrounding employment and wage growth,” she said.
The Mastercard SpendingPulse report came out on August 4th, a day ahead of the government’s jobs report that showed hiring in July was far better than expected, CNBC reported, while also noting a “clear” economic slowdown, whether or not it could be classified officially as a recession. | https://www.ecommercebytes.com/2022/08/07/ecommerce-spending-up-over-11-percent-in-july/ | 2022-08-08T02:35:32Z | https://www.ecommercebytes.com/2022/08/07/ecommerce-spending-up-over-11-percent-in-july/ | false | 1 |

BY TATIRA ZWINOIRA
THE Zimbabwe Coalition on Debt and Development (Zimcodd) has called for lower denomination gold coins because only the elite are accessing them at the moment.
Currently, gold coins are valued at one ounce, weighing 33,93 grammes and are priced according to international prices that include production and bank charges, making them very expensive.
As of Friday, a single gold coin cost nearly $910 000 or US$1 872,36, yet public and private sector workers earn less than US$250 per month on average.
As a result, the coin is way out of reach for low-income earners and ordinary Zimbabweans.
“At the current price of about US$1 800, the coin is inaccessible to the wider majority of citizens,” Zimcodd said in its weekend reader released last Friday.
“As such, it is pertinent that a cheaper option is availed for those who seek to hedge their savings against inflation, but are unable to afford the current cost.”
Zimcodd said due to the pricing, the gold coins become a preserve of the rich as salaries that majority civil servants are earning for example are unable to purchase even a single coin.
Africa Roundtable chief executive Kipson Gundani recently stated at an Alpha Media Holdings debate on the gold coins that the average worker would need to save their earnings for over nine months, without eating anything, in order to buy a single coin.
The United States, among other countries, also sells gold coins, but at different values, namely, one, three-quarter, half and quarter ounces.
“As a result, there is a great outcry that the scheme is yet another channel for corruption and looting by the elite rather than a means of easing poverty,” Zimcodd said.
“At present, 7,9 million Zimbabweans are reported to be living in extreme poverty. This is nearly half the population who will then be excluded from this facility.”
Zimcodd added that thanks to the coins being priced in the local currency at the official forex rate of US$1:$465,39, the elite has a chance to make considerable profits.
This is true because buying gold coins in the local currency at the official forex rate then selling at the parallel counterpart of US$1:$800 means an elite can buy double the coins, with a little money added on top.
“Zimbabwe has been operating with two significantly dispersed foreign currency exchange rates for the greenback and the local (currency), i.e, the bank rate and the parallel market rate,” Zimcodd said.
“The difference is so high that while the bank rate fixes the Zimbabwe dollar at 1:458,3653 (August 3), it sits at about 1:800 on the parallel market. A running concern now is that the elite will have access to purchase the coin at bank rate and sell it off in Zimbabwe and abroad at the US dollar rate. As a result, they would have made a considerable profit in the difference between the bank rate and parallel rate.”
As of July 29, 1 500 coins had been sold, translating to over US$2,5 million or $1,1 billion.
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe has committed to introducing lower denomination gold coins.

Sergei Lavrov used to liken the West to a wounded predator. For Lavrov, no one should be angry so that he does not have a fit of madness and blow himself up at everyone.
The West does not see it this way: Washington and London are leading a campaign against Moscow and Beijing. The Anglo-Saxons are screaming and ready to do anything. But what can they do today?
The summits of Bavaria (Group of Seven) and Madrid (NATO) were supposed to be occasions to announce the West's punishment of the Kremlin for the "special military operation in Ukraine". However, if the Westerners have tried to project the image of a united front, the truth testifies to their detachment from reality, the loss of their audience around the world, and the end of their hegemony.
While Westerners convince themselves that the game is confined to Ukraine, the whole world sees them in the face of the Thucydides trap [1]. Will international relations remain centered around them, or will they become multipolar? Will the peoples subject to them be liberated and gain their sovereignty? Would it be possible to abandon the logic of global domination and each player's search for their own growth?
The influx of dollars home and the diversion of goods further increased the price of energy resources. Since Russia is at the forefront of exporting these resources, its exports have increased dramatically, and the ruble is at its best. To counter this, the Group of Seven put a cap on Russian oil and gas prices and ordered the "international community" not to pay a higher price.
Regarding Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine, the West has drawn a fictional narrative that ignores the abuses they have committed since the collapse of the Soviet Union. The West forgot that it had signed the European Security Charter (also known as the Istanbul Declaration within the framework of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) and violated it by including almost all the former Warsaw Pact countries and some countries that emerged from the collapse of the Soviet Union into NATO. Just as he forgot how he changed the Ukrainian government in 2004 and the coup that brought the Bandaris to power in 2014. Thus, while they erase their sins, the Westerners accuse Russia of all kinds of crimes, and refuse to reconsider their actions, considering that at that time they were able to impose their point of view and end the conversation. For the West, it is their victories that make the applicable law.
In order to protect their illusions from being squandered, Westerners have silenced the Russian media in their countries. They can pretend to be "democrats", but the truth is that for the West it is easier to silence dissenters than to lie.
Thus, the Westerners convince themselves without contradiction that they alone have the right to prosecute and punish Russia for what it did in Ukraine. By getting some small countries to say what they want, the Westerners were able to obtain a text from the United Nations General Assembly, apparently considering them right. Now they dream of dismantling Russia as they did in Yugoslavia and tried to do in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Yemen (Rumsfeld/Cybrowski strategy).
To reach this, the West began the process of isolating Russia from the global finance and trade system, by blocking it from the Swift and Lloyds systems, preventing it from buying, selling, and insuring the transfer of its goods. The West believed that this would destroy Russia's economy. On June 27, 2022, the latter was unable to repay a $100 million debt, and Moody's announced that Russia was in arrears .
But the desired result did not happen: everyone knows that Russia's coffers are full of gold and foreign currencies. The Kremlin paid the debt, but was unable to transfer it to the West due to Western sanctions. With that, the Kremlin put the required amount in a frozen account where it waits for its creditors.
At this time, the Kremlin (which Westerners no longer pay for) began transferring its goods, especially energy resources, to new customers, especially China. Since transactions are not redeemable in dollars, other currencies are taking its place. As a result,
the dollars that customers used to trade between each other now return to the United States and accumulate in it. This trend is not new, but Western sanctions have dramatically accelerated its effects. The massive influx of dollars and their accumulation in the United States led to a massive rise in prices. The US Treasury is doing everything in its power to make the eurozone as heavy as possible: in all Western European countries, prices are rising very quickly.
The European Central Bank was not established to look for economic growth, but rather its primary goal is to manage inflation within the Union. Aware of its inability to stem the sudden price hike, the bank tries to use it to pay off its debts. Therefore, the member states of the Union are called upon to compensate for the diminished purchasing power of their "citizens" by reducing taxes and increasing aid. But it has turned into a bad cycle: by helping their own citizens, the countries concerned tie their hands and feet to the European Central Bank and the US debt, and make their poverty even poorer.
There is no solution to this inflation: this is the first time that the West has had to bear the burden of the dollars that Washington printed indifferently over the years, and the rise in prices in the West is the price of imperialist spending over the past thirty years. Today and only today, the West is paying the price for its wars on Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Yemen.
Until now, the United States has been killing anyone who threatens the dollar's hegemony. Saddam Hussein rejected this hegemony and was hanged, and the contents of the Central Bank of Iraq were looted. Muammar Gaddafi was preparing to create a single African currency: he was tortured, killed, and the Central Bank of Libya ransacked. The huge sums that these oil-producing countries had amassed have disappeared, without a trace. We only saw American soldiers packing tens of billions of dollars in large trash bags. By isolating Russia from the field of dollar-priced exchanges, Washington has caused itself what it had long feared: the dollar is no longer the international reference currency.
The rest of the world is not blind, but understands perfectly what is happening, and rushes to the Saint-Petersburg Economic Forum, then tries to register for the BRICS virtual summit. These countries recalled - after a delay - that Russia launched the "Extended Eurasian Partnership" in 2016 and that its Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, had officially announced the project at the United Nations General Assembly in September 2018 [3]. During 4 years, a large number of roads and railways were built in order to connect Russia with the networks of the "New Silk Roads", land and sea, built by China. In a few months, the merchandise has been successfully diverted.
The influx of dollars home and the diversion of goods further increased the price of energy resources. Since Russia is at the forefront of exporting these resources, its exports have increased dramatically, and the ruble is at its best. To counter this, the Group of Seven put a cap on Russian oil and gas prices and ordered the "international community" not to pay a higher price.
But Russia, of course, will not allow the West to set the price for its products. Whoever does not want to pay according to the market price will not be able to buy the resources, and no one wants to deprive himself in order to please the West.
The Group of Seven, at least on the ideological level, is trying to establish its hegemony [4].... But to no avail: the winds have changed. 4 centuries of Western domination are over.
Out of desperation, the G7 pledged to find a solution to the global food crisis caused by its policy. All concerned countries know the value of this group's pledges, as they still have not seen anything of the great African development projects and the rest of the pledges and illusory promises. Everyone knows that the West is not able to produce fertilizer made from nitrogen and that it prevents Russia from selling this product. All of the said group's aid is nothing more than bandages designed to silence the aggrieved nations so as not to challenge the sacred principles of free trade.
The Madrid summit was a show of unity and strength, but the member states were only called to sign what Washington and London had decided about them. Their loneliness was only a manifestation of the bondage relationship from which many began to dream of liberation.
The only possible option in the battle to save Western hegemony is war. NATO should be able to destroy Russia militarily, just as Rome in the past was able to destroy Carthage... But here too it is too late: Russia today possesses weapons far superior to its Western counterparts, and has completed its practical experience since 2014 in Syria. Russia can at any moment crush its enemies. In 2018, President Putin presented to Russian parliamentarians the terrifying progress that the country had made with regard to its military arsenal.
The Madrid Summit was a successful propaganda (6), but it was also the Last Supper. The thirty-two countries declared their unity in the desperation of those who fear death approaching. As if nothing had happened, NATO adopted a strategy of world domination over the next ten years, considering the "growth" of China to be a topic of great interest to it. Thus, NATO admits that its goal is not to achieve security, but to rule the world. NATO then proceeded with the process of integrating Sweden and Finland and planned to approach the borders of China, first with the possible entry of Japan into the ranks of the alliance.
The only problem, which was quickly fixed, was to be Turkish pressure on Finland and Sweden to get them to overthrow the PKK. The United States could not say no, so it abandoned its Kurdish mercenary allies in Syria, and their leaders in foreign countries.
NATO decided to double the size of the rapid intervention forces, from 40 thousand to 300 thousand, or 7.5 times, and to deploy them on the borders of Russia. By doing so, NATO violated its countries' signature on the Pact on Security in Europe by directly threatening Russia. The latter is unable to secure its vast borders, and can only guarantee its security by ensuring the prevention of the concentration and spread of foreign bases on its borders (because this prevents the scorched-earth strategy). From now on, the Pentagon publishes maps for the future, that is, the stage after the collapse of Russia, which it hopes to achieve.
The answer of the former Russian ambassador to NATO and the current director of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, was to publish the coordinates of NATO's decision-making centers, including the Madrid summit hall, on its Telegram channel [9]. Russia has hypersonic missiles, which are currently uninterceptable, and capable of delivering an atomic bomb within a few minutes to NATO headquarters (Brussels), the Pentagon and Washington. In order for everyone to understand, Sergey Lavrov, referring to the Straussians, made it clear that war decisions in the West are not made by the military, but by the US State Department. That will be the first goal.
The question, then, is: Will the West risk everything? Would they risk a third world war, although they would lose it, in order not to die alone?

World champion Nikhat Zareen on Sunday won a gold medal in the women’s 50kg (Light Flyweight) category at the Commonwealth Games 2022, becoming the third Indian to do so in Birmingham. The star Indian boxer defeated Carly Mc Naul of Northern Ireland. As the country celebrates her victory, Twitter users have also discovered a heartwarming detail.
On her mother’s birthday on August 3, Zareen had tweeted, “Happy Birthday to my superwoman, your smile keeps me strong & your spirit lifts me up. I wish I could be there with you on this special day but I promise jaldi hi apka gift lekar aaungi aate time. Love you so much ammi. ♥️” People on Twitter have now been congratulating her not only for the win, but also for delivering on her promise.

Zareen continued her dominant run inside the boxing ring and was too good for opponents throughout 2022 CWG to add coveted yellow metal to her resume.
She was too good for the Northern Ireland pugilist and won the bout on a unanimous decision by the judges. McNaul looked frustrated in the third round and tried to bounce back but Zareen didn’t give her any opportunity
The 26-year-old Indian produced some dominant performances in the 2022 CWG which also include a one-sided semifinal bout where Zareen outclassed England’s Stubley Alfia Savannah and won the bout via a unanimous 5-0 verdict.

Iowans might be insane.
OK, let me back up. I lived in Iowa for about four years, working as a visual journalist and photo editor at the Des Moines Register. I helped share countless stories about inspiring people and places across the state. Iowans, like most Americans in the communities I've lived in, are overall good people.
Yet many of them seem to lose their minds the last week in July when they decide that traveling from one side of the state to the other on a bicycle is a good way to spend the week. And they do. In droves. Getting up early, partying late, filling the streets of rural Iowa towns along the way and then doing it all again the next day.
The Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, or RAGBRAI, bills itself as the "oldest, largest and longest recreational bicycle touring event in the world." The yearly tradition was started by two columnists at the Register. It went from a group of a few friends in 1973 to more than 18,000 registered riders this year.
I've covered parts of the ride in previous years, both on a bike and in a car. I completed the entire week-long, 427-mile ride in 2019 as part of NPR's biking team, No Pie Refused. It is quite a feat. Parts of the ride are insanely beautiful, everyone is extremely welcoming and there's so much pie to be eaten along the way.
It's not a race. Yet somehow everyone seems to win.
The experience has a way of immersing you in its roving community of rabid cycling enthusiasts, whether you're actually riding on two wheels or not. As someone who rode out the pandemic in the hyper-vigilant city of Washington, D.C. (where I am still required to wear a mask in the office), being back in Iowa felt like I was transported to another place and time.
Cell phone reception is spotty at best, making it even easier to disconnect from the outside world. The seemingly chaotic news cycle disappears. And everyone seems more concerned about whether the grilled-cheese vendor will be in the next town on the route than the latest COVID or Monkeypox numbers.
It's all very exhausting. But in a lot of ways, extremely comforting, too. Many riders use the week to reconnect with family and friends. Gary Burger, a 75-year-old from West Des Moines, Iowa, talked about how he doesn't get to spend much time with his grandchildren these days as they start to go off to college. He was in the middle of a 105-mile day, riding with his 21-year-old grandson, Aaron, as his wife drives the motor home they stay in at night. What a way to reconnect.
People are nice. Welcoming. Extremely proud of the community they've built, and truly having the absolute best time doing it.
If this is what insanity looks like, maybe we all should go a little crazy now and then.

Giving a rare insight into what her home life is like, the award-winning star told Zane Lowe on Apple Music in 2020: "I do have two incredible boys and my husband, and we live on a farm, and I kind of got to maybe get back to some of my roots boy not being on stage for a minute."

Most recently, Carrie opened up about her home life during an interview on Absolute Radio Country, and revealed that she's by far the happiest when she's at home.

She said: "I don’t go places…on my own if it is left up to me and my devices, I would just be a little homesteader and just stay home and do nothing. I shouldn't say do nothing, I am actually very busy when I am at home, but it is chores, I am doing chores."

A 46-year-old Quantico man has died following a Sunday morning crash in Dumfries involving a motorcycle, an SUV and a pickup truck, according to Prince William County police.
The deceased, identified by police as Jason Alan Whitaker, 46, of Dumfries, was heading south on Richmond Highway near Allen Dent Road on a 2006 Shadow Aero VT750, a motorcycle, when he “disregarded the red traffic signal,” proceeded into the intersection and collided with a 2015 Hyundai Tucson SUV, according to 1st Sgt. Jonathan Perok, a Prince William County Police Department spokesman.
The crash was reported to police at 11:13 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 7.
The force of the collision caused Whitaker to separate from his motorcycle and slide into the intersection, where he then struck the front of a pickup truck, a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500, Perok said in a news release.
Whitaker was taken via hospital to an area hospital, where he later died of his injuries, Perok said.
The driver of the Hyundai Tucson, a 50-year-old Dumfries woman, and her two passengers – a 13- and 15-year-old girls – were transported to an area hospital as a precaution. All three have since been released, Perok said in a news release.
The driver of the Dodge, a 57-year-old Stafford man, was not injured.
Prince William County police crash investigators ask that anyone who may have witnessed this crash to contact the Prince William County Police Department tipline at 703-792-7000 or submit a webtip to: pwcva.gov/policetip. | https://www.princewilliamtimes.com/news/police-46-year-old-motorcyclist-killed-in-sunday-morning-crash-in-dumfries/article_05f01710-16bf-11ed-814e-23d3f4946b3a.html | 2022-08-08T03:08:03Z | https://www.princewilliamtimes.com/news/police-46-year-old-motorcyclist-killed-in-sunday-morning-crash-in-dumfries/article_05f01710-16bf-11ed-814e-23d3f4946b3a.html | true | 1 |
“We have forecast double-digit growth this festive season over the festive months of 2019,” said Vishal Chaturvedi, vice-president (South Asia), The Body Shop. “This includes gifting across various upcoming festivals, Diwali and the wedding season. People are also coming back to physical stores after the last two years of stress, which were bad for us as well.” He said growth could be in the range of 15-20%.
The past two years saw states announcing various Covid-induced curbs on operating hours for malls and market places, impacting consumer sentiment.
Executives said they expect demand to be robust this festive season on the back of salary bonuses, improved urban sentiment, moderation in inflation and pent-up demand — especially in premium gifting categories — for both ecommerce and physical stores.
“Our festive demand outlook is positive,” said Pushpa Bector, executive director at DLF Retail, which operates premium malls across Delhi-NCR. “Large family gatherings are expected during the festivals after a gap, and this will be the first wedding season without Covid protocols in two years.”
“We expect to see these occasions boost gifting and discretionary consumer spending,” said Bector of Retail.
Executives said higher prices of essentials were not dissuading consumers from buying premium products.
Consumer electronics executives said the festive season is projected to reverse the slowdown in demand since May, and sales should grow 15-25% over the 2019 period.
“Consumer sentiment is likely to be upbeat around the festive season, also driven by the fact that the scare of Covid has receded and this year will be the first year of zero restrictions,” said Pradeep Bakshi, managing director, . The Tata-owned appliance maker is targeting 25%-plus growth in the festive season over 2019.
Cosmetics and fashion retailer said it expects stronger demand after a subdued season impacted by inflationary pressures. The upcoming festival season will boost demand for beauty, personal care and wellness products, the online retailer forecasts. “We believe the season may be good and are hopeful of strong demand,” said Falguni Nayar, managing director, Nykaa, on a post-earnings call.
The festive and wedding season, when consumption peaks, starts with Raksha Bandhan next week, followed by Janmashtami and Ganesh Chaturthi, and goes on to Dussehra, Durga Puja, Diwali and Christmas. The wedding season starts in November.
Logistics companies said they are seeing high traction across consumer goods, textiles and auto sectors, with bulk stocking in anticipation of the season. “Leading up to this festive season of Raksha Bandhan, we have already crossed our pre-Covid revenues,” said Abhishek Chakraborty, executive director, DTDC Express. He said the logistics company’s footprint of physical touchpoints and infrastructure is helping to address the surge.
Jewellery and watches maker , which reported its second-best quarterly revenue in April-June — buoyed by strong festive demand even for smaller festivals such as Navratri in April — said the outlook for the year remains positive.
“Despite the challenging macro environment, the outlook for the remaining quarters looks positive and we continue to execute our investment plans,” said CK Venkataraman, managing director, Titan, at an earnings release late last week.
Manish Saini, chief operating officer at premium gifting company Ferns N Petals, said, “We are already at 30% higher growth rates compared to last year. We expect growth to settle at 60% over last year as orders per day are in the range of 18,000-20,000 for Raksha Bandhan.”
For home appliances and televisions, demand in the last two festive seasons was brisk in the premium segment, but volumes depressed for the entry to mid-segment.
“This year too, we expect the premium segment to drive value growth, but we are cautiously optimistic the entry and mid segment sales may also show signs of some recovery," said Deepak Bansal, vice-president, LG Electronics India.
Researchers such as Counterpoint and IDC India have said unsold inventory levels of smartphones are double than usual, with the market contracting this year.
However, a senior executive with a leading Chinese smartphone manufacturer said offers and discounts will peak this festive season as brands will clear inventory, which might revive demand.
Others such as Vishak Kumar, whole-time director at Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail, told analysts on an earnings call last week that the outlook for the festive season is strong this year. He said early bookings in the wholesale business for Onam and Durga Puja are strong.
“Usually, when Onam and Puja do well, the Diwali business is strong,” said Kumar. The apparel retailer posted its highest ever April-June sales last quarter, with 39% revenue growth over pre-Covid levels.

Aggies wrap up first week of Fall camp
LAS CRUCES - After five days of practicing in the August heat, the New Mexico State football team will have its first day off on Wednesday.
The Aggies have not practiced in full pads, and as you expect after the first week, consistency was an issue. But toughness, both physically and mentally, has been a consistent talking point for head coach Jerry Kill.
"I think we have to adapt to being mentally tough," Kill said. "We have had a habit I guess in the fourth quarter or second half of not finishing. We have to break that habit so we have to be able to finish practice."
There was a clear increase in tempo and attention to detail in Friday's first practice compared to the spring practice sessions.
"We put our intensity up about three notches, compared to spring," said Kill after last week's first practice session. "They have to get used to it. They have to get used to me and the coaches because the spring and fall camp are totally different."
Experienced defense could be early season strength
New Mexico State has starting experience returning at all three levels of the defense, and it has shown in the first week as players seem to have taken to the 4-2-5 scheme of first-year coordinator Nate Dreiling.
"We had a pretty good first week, it was pretty physical with people flying around," Aggies senior outside linebacker Donavan King said. "Coach Dreiling has a beautiful scheme. It's completely new and different and it's been amazing to watch and see."
The entire front seven has starters returning and returning defensive backs Syrus Dumas and Dylan Early have been standouts in the secondary while Michigan transfer nickel back Andre Seldon and UNLV grad transfer strong safety Bryce Jackson have positioned themselves in the two deep.
But after the top 11, there is a significant drop off in terms of experience at the FBS level.
"It's still a work in progress, you have kids learning that hadn't been here so it's hard to evaluate anything on depth," Kill said. "Is there a capability to have some depth? Yes. But that goes with mental toughness and physical toughness."
If the early trend continues and the Aggies can find some depth up front and in the secondary, the defense could help the Aggies stay in games early on while the offense finds its footing.
"The defense is always going to usually be ahead of the offense, just because of schemes," Aggies outside linebacker Lazarus Williams said. "We are just flying around and the offense is still learning their plays and techniques."
Aggies could have solid run game
Quarterbacks Diego Pavia, Gavin Frakes and Weston Eget have all had their moments in fall camp, but Kill hasn't indicated if anyone has separated himself as the starter.
Offensive coordinator Tim Beck said Aggies coaches will start to identify the players they want on the field following next week's practice sessions at the earliest.
"After the first five to seven day, you do a re-evaluation of who you have and then start thinking about who our best football players are and how do we get our best players on the field, whether it's an extra running back, a extra tight end or an extra receiver," Beck said.
While there have been highlights in the passing game, such as true freshman receiver Jonathan Brady in the slot, the running game as a whole has been an offensive strength, to me at least.
Junior college transfer Jamoni Jones and TCU transfer Ahmonte Watkins have picked up where they left off from spring practice, and junior college addition Star Thomas seems like he will see some action in the backfield as well. Pavia and Frakes are both capable runners at the quarterback position, as well.
"We have some talent in the running back room," Beck said. "There is great competition there. There are so many variables, but we have made some improvements (in the running game)."
As to who will be blocking for Aggies runners, the top five offensive linemen are somewhat apparent, but depth up front will be an issue entering the season.
Redshirt senior Gabriel Preciado (left tackle), redshirt sophomore Carson Pharris (left guard), junior college transfer Canaan Yarro (center), redshirt junior Isaiah Mursalat (right guard) and grad senior Doro Omerhi (right tackle) make up an offensive line that will be serviceable to start the season.
"The depth is never going to be as good as we want it to be and it's not as good as we want it right now, but they are getting the heck coached out of them," Beck said. "We are going against a lot of ones versus ones and a lot of times our twos will go against their ones. We are getting guys in a position to get them ready and try to get some depth."
School announces game times for five of six home games
The Aggies season opener on Aug. 27 against Nevada has not been announced, but their other five home games were announced.
NM State will host four consecutive home games. Kicking off the month long stretch in Las Cruces, the Aggies will host Hawaii at 6 p.m. on September 24. On October 1, Florida International will travel to New Mexico to take on the Aggies with a kickoff time of 6 p.m. After a bye week, the Aggies will host New Mexico on October 15. The Battle of I-25 will kick off at 6 p.m. as the two schools meet for the 112th time. The homestand will conclude on October 22 when San Jose State travels to Aggie Memorial Stadium for an afternoon contest at 4 p.m. The Aggies final home game on November 12 against Lamar will kick off at 2 p.m. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2691921208828/aggies-wrap-up-first-week-of-fall-camp | 2022-08-08T03:10:50Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2691921208828/aggies-wrap-up-first-week-of-fall-camp | true | 2 |
- Can-Am reveals the Can-Am Origin, a dual-purpose motorcycle as capable off-road as it is on-road, and the Can-Am Pulse, the perfect motorcycle for rides in and out of the city.
- Sea-Doo elevates the watersports industry with an all-new electric hydrofoil board, the Sea-Doo Rise.
VALCOURT, QC, Aug. 7, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - BRP Inc. (TSX:DOO) (NASDAQ:DOOO) is proud to announce that, in addition to working on electrifying its existing product lines, it is seizing opportunities to enter new markets with game-changing electric products. Today, BRP unveils the first two models of its Can-Am all-electric motorcycle lineup, the Can-Am Origin and Can-Am Pulse. Building on its motorcycle legacy, BRP is changing the power dynamic and opening the road to a new generation of riders and electric vehicle enthusiasts. What's more, BRP is announcing a completely new electric hydrofoil board bearing the Sea-Doo signature – the Sea-Doo Rise. All three products will be available in mid-2024.
"Today, our story of innovation reaches new heights with the reveal of market-shaping electric products that will enhance consumer experience on the road and on the water, " said José Boisjoli, President and CEO of BRP. "Half a century ago, Can-Am roared to victory on the track and the trail, and today, a new legacy begins. With the Can-Am Origin and Can-Am Pulse, the first two models of our electric 2-wheel family, we are gearing up to reclaim our motorcycle heritage by crafting thrilling riding experiences for a whole new generation."
Mr. Boisjoli added: "With the Sea-Doo Rise, BRP is leveraging its expertise to address an untapped market category and further position the company for future growth. We have set out to be the key actor in growing and democratizing the hydrofoiling watersport industry. In true BRP fashion, we designed a product that is easy to use and adaptable for all skill levels, making it accessible for all those seeking to rise above the water."
The Can-Am Origin is a tribute to Can-Am's Track n' Trail heritage. This dual-purpose model is designed to bring new exhilaration to both the street and the trail for a more modern multi-terrain experience. The Can-Am Pulse is a balanced and agile motorcycle designed to immerse riders in the energy of the city and transform their daily commute into an electric joyride. Both models feature stunning, modern design, built to showcase state-of-the art technology, like the high-performance LED headlamp, a unique visual signature. Both models are also easier to use and to ride, for novices and seasoned riders alike. Without any need for a standard clutch and transmission, riders can just twist the throttle and go. Consumers will also appreciate the near-silent and vibration-free experience, as well as the smooth and precise power delivery even in tight, low speed situations.
While each model has its own distinct design, ergonomics and capabilities to satisfy different needs, both are powered by the all-new Rotax E-POWER technology, yielding highway-worthy speeds with plenty of horsepower and torque.
BRP plans on revealing full specs in August 2023, just in time to celebrate Can-Am's 50th anniversary. In the meantime, consumers can join the community and be the first to know when the future of motorcycle riding is ready to hit the road by visiting canammotorcycle.com.

Offering different experiences and providing a variety of surfing positions for all skill levels, this new electric hydrofoil board is perfect for the entire family and for those seeking to rise above the water and enjoy a more athletic Sea-Doo Life.
The Sea-Doo Rise is one of its kind, cleverly designed with innovative and dynamic features that transform the board as riders gain experience over time. Those who are new to hydrofoiling can choose to ride on the water without foiling, or to partially or fully deploy the wing when they are ready to foil above water. Very accessible, simple to use and easy to charge, the all-electric Sea-Doo Rise will provide peace of mind by minimizing worries and maximizing fun on the water!
Full specs are expected to be revealed in August 2023. To stay informed on Sea-Doo Rise news, visit the Sea-Doo website.

The Block-goes-bush wins first round in battle of the reality juggernauts
By Karl Quinn
The Block won the first battle of the reality TV juggernauts on Sunday night, pulling a national audience of 1.23 million viewers for the debut of its 18th season. Only Seven’s Sunday news bulletin (1.502 million) drew more viewers.
In the five mainland capital cities, according to overnight figures supplied by ratings agency OzTam, it drew an average audience across its broadcast of 867,000 people. That was a significant jump on the 747,000 metro viewers who tuned in for last year’s launch on Nine (which owns this masthead).
In one of the biggest TV battles of the year, Sunday saw new-season premieres for three of Australia’s biggest reality franchises – with My Kitchen Rules on Seven and The Masked Singer on Ten also launching – as well as a season premiere for music quiz show Spicks and Specks on the ABC.
This time around, each offered something fresh. The Masked Singer had three new judges – Mel B, Abbie Chatfield and Chrissie Swan – alongside stalwart Dave Hughes, who likened his survival to making it through Squid Game.
The Block had its first Indian couple (former Neighbours star Sharon Johal and husband Ankur Dogra), its first Muslim contestants (Omar and Osman) and the first tree-change location (Gisborne).
MKR had a new judging line-up: Manu Feildel, who has been with the show for all 11 previous seasons, has been joined by Nigella Lawson, with former MasterChef judge Matt Preston set to join from the second round.
And while Spicks and Specks made its long-hoped-for return with the original line-up of Adam Hills, Alan Brough and Myf Warhurst in 2021, this is the first season to have been recorded in front of a live audience since their reunion after a 10-year absence.
There was also another first for the ABC show: it screened an ad, or at any rate a snippet of one, to showcase guest contestant David Novak of the band Polish Club singing a cheesy duet for Domino’s Pizza.
With the shows staggered across the early evening – The Block and MKR started at 7pm, The Masked Singer at 7.30 and Spicks and Specks at 7.40 – competition for viewers was fierce.
MKR grabbed 767,000 viewers nationally to finish second of the reality shows on the night, though there were a couple of caveats. The unmasking segment of The Masked Singer, broken out as a separate program in the ratings figures, beat it, with 791,000 viewers nationally.
And while the main section of The Masked Singer finished well behind MKR with 689,000 viewers, it still won in the crucial metro markets (522,000 to MKR’s 503,000).
The Masked Singer was, however, down significantly on last year’s launch, when it opened with 642,000 viewers in the five capital cities in overnight ratings (later boosted to 709,000 after catch-up viewing).
MKR, by contrast, was up on its last season in 2020, when it pulled just 498,000 metro viewers for its launch episode.
Spicks and Specks, meanwhile, drew 672,000 viewers nationally and 449,000 metro. That was a long way down from last year’s relaunch, which was watched by 953,000 nationally and 665,000 viewers in the five mainland capital cities alone.

The Justice Secretary is reportedly considering introducing changes that could limit ministers’ accountability in judicial reviews.
According to a leaked Ministry of Justice (MoJ) paper, reportedly seen by The Guardian, Dominic Raab is weighing up a move that would likely make it more difficult for claimants who have concerns about decisions taken by public bodies to bring successful legal challenges against the Government.
The document reportedly states: “You (Mr Raab) have indicated that you are minded to consult on further reforms to judicial review.”
The paper says the document goes on to make suggestions for change “subject to your initial policy steers and the outcome of any consultation”.
Proposed changes in the document reportedly range from dictating the criteria judges must apply in cases, to increasing the cost burden if parties are found not to have standing.
An MoJ spokesperson said: “We do not comment on leaked documents.”
Shadow justice secretary Steve Reed said the reported changes showed the Government thinks “the law only applies to the little people”.
The Labour MP said: “This leak is yet more proof that the Lord Chancellor and this arrogant Conservative Government thinks that the law only applies to the little people.
“Whether it’s their attacks on judicial review, the billions of pounds of taxpayers’ money handed out to their mates in Covid contracts, the Partygate scandal or their so-called ‘Bill of Rights’, which will stop victims of crime getting justice, the Conservatives have shown their contempt for the British people.
“Voters will be in no doubt, the Conservatives think it’s one rule for them and one rule for everyone else.”
Charlie Whelton, policy and campaigns officer at human rights group Liberty, told The Guardian: “This leaked document suggests that the government plans to make it even harder for people to challenge them and make themselves even less accountable to the public.
“Over the past couple of years, we’ve seen an unprecedented assault on our legal rights, including in the Judicial Review and Courts Act and through ongoing proposals to scrap the Human Rights Act. The government is determined to make it as difficult as possible to take them to court and hold them accountable for unlawful actions.
“Whether by putting up more barriers to bringing cases, overturning judgments they don’t like or blocking off more and more actions from challenge, the government’s attempts to avoid accountability set a very dangerous precedent for all future governments of all stripes.”
The Government has introduced plans for a Bill of Rights to replace the Human Rights Act, that would mean the UK does not always have to follow case law from from Strasbourg and the Supreme Court in London is the ultimate decision-maker on human rights issues.
It comes after the European Court of Human Rights, which interprets the European Convention on Human Rights, blocked plans to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda.
The Government insists the reform would strengthen freedom of speech and prevent “trivial” legal claims, but opponents say it would limit the ability of citizens to challenge the state. | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/dominic-raab-considering-measures-curb-023159098.html?src=rss | 2022-08-08T03:22:27Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/dominic-raab-considering-measures-curb-023159098.html?src=rss | true | 7 |

Tekken 7 saw one of its best international players, Knee, claim his first North American Evo title at Evo 2022, and with that, Bandai Namco laid out a plan for the future of the game and what comes next… sort of.
After a little bit of baiting with the wording in the trailer, the post-Top 8 reveal for Tekken 7 confirmed another year of Tekken World Tour competitive action—culminating in a Global Finals in Amsterdam from Feb. 4 to 5, 2023.
Along with that news, Bandai will be releasing a new battle update for the game on Aug. 17, which will include balance adjustments for the roster and new tactics that will give characters more to work with. From what the trailer showed, some additional combo strings and moves seem to be the focus, which could lead to unique interactions only available after this patch.
More details will be shared about that update ahead of its launch, but most fans thought that some of the wording was pointing to a reveal of Tekken 8.
Fans hoping to see the next iteration of the Tekken franchise wouldn’t leave entirely empty-handed: a short teaser at the end of the trailer showcased a transition from the classic scene from the original Tekken with Kazuya dropping Heihachi off the cliff and grinning at the camera. However, instead of just lingering on the heavily memed image of Kazuya’s face, it transitioned into a much clearner, modern-looking character model with simple text telling fans to “Get Ready.”
This in and of itself wasn’t enough to clear up some confusion around the messaging, but Evo general manager TheHadou confirmed it was a new Tekken project being teased and not just another clip hyping up the series in general.
It is unlikely we will hear more news about whatever this next Tekken project is going to be for some time, but considering Tekken 7 has sold over 9 million copies and has such a dedicated hardcore fan base, when the news does drop, you can likely expect a celebration much like how Tasty Steve and the other commentators were freaking out right alongside Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada once the trailer ended. | https://dotesports.com/fgc/news/bandai-namco-teases-future-tekken-project-at-evo-2022 | 2022-08-08T03:51:41Z | https://dotesports.com/fgc/news/bandai-namco-teases-future-tekken-project-at-evo-2022 | true | 1 |
LOS ANGELES — Roger E. Mosley, best known as helicopter pilot Theodore “T.C.” Calvin on the CBS television series "Magnum P.I.," has died at the age of 83, his family announced Sunday.
Mosley's daughter announced his death on Facebook.
"Roger E. Mosley, my father, your friend, your 'coach Mosley' your 'TC' from Magnum P.I., passed away at 1:17am. He was surrounded by family as he transcended peacefully," she wrote. "We could never mourn such an amazing man. He would HATE any crying done in his name. It is time to celebrate the legacy he left for us all. I love you daddy. You loved me too. My heart is heavy but I am strong. I will care for mommy, your love of almost 60 years. You raised me well and she is in good hands. Rest easy. "
Mosley's family said he died after a serious car crash in Los Angeles left him paralyzed and hospitalized last week, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The actor appeared in 158 episodes of the original run of "Magnum P.I." on CBS opposite Tom Selleck from 1980 to 1988. He later returned for a cameo in two episodes of the reboot as a different character.
Mosley also appeared in television shows like "Love Boat," "Sanford and Son." "Hangin' With Mr. Cooper," "Walker, Texas Ranger," "Starsky and Hutch," "Fact Checkers Unit" and others. Film credits include "A Thin Line Between Love and Hate" and "Unlawful Entry." | https://www.wzzm13.com/article/news/entertainment-news/roger-e-mosley-dies/507-7f413c72-ff5a-4fbc-8857-6cb441c1b9d9 | 2022-08-08T03:58:48Z | https://www.wzzm13.com/article/news/entertainment-news/roger-e-mosley-dies/507-7f413c72-ff5a-4fbc-8857-6cb441c1b9d9 | false | 17 |

New Delhi: Now all toll-tax hassles are going to end soon as the central government is planning to introduce a new GPS based technology for toll-tax collection. According to this system, the toll would be paid based on how many kilometres you drive on a highway. The tax would essentially be paid only on the total distance travelled and not for the entire length of the highway or expressway. Currently, the toll is collected for the entire distance from one toll plaza to another. Even if a vehicle isn’t travelling the entire distance but finishing its journey in a different location, the toll must be paid in full.Also Read - Couple Attacked by Bouncers at Ghamroj Toll Plaza on Gurugram-Sohna Road
As per a report by NDTV, the central government is about to start the new system soon and a pilot project to test the new method is currently underway in India. Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, stated in March this year, while speaking in the Lok Sabha, that the government would eliminate toll plaza booths nationwide within a year. He had also stated that toll booths would be completely replaced with a GPS-based toll collection system. He added that tolls would be collected via GPS imaging on moving vehicles. Also Read - Solar Storm To Strike Earth In A 'Direct Hit' Today; May Lead To Global Outage, Disruptions
Due to the success of the GPS-based approach in European countries, steps are being made to adopt it in India as well. The pilot project is being tested. In Germany, most vehicles have satellite navigation systems installed. When a vehicle enters a tolled area, the tax calculation begins. The toll for the distance travelled is deducted from the account as soon as the vehicle transitions from an expressway to a road without a toll.

However, the implementation of the new system would require alteration of the transport policy. In the pilot scheme, 1.37 lakh automobiles have been covered nationwide. FASTags, which were introduced in 2016, make it easier to pay fees at toll booths electronically. Making the tags compulsory would also help to guarantee that traffic moves smoothly through the toll plazas because the toll would be paid electronically. | https://www.india.com/news/india/new-gps-based-toll-collection-will-allow-travelers-to-pay-only-for-distance-travelled-5559595/ | 2022-08-08T04:11:58Z | https://www.india.com/news/india/new-gps-based-toll-collection-will-allow-travelers-to-pay-only-for-distance-travelled-5559595/ | true | 1 |

Russia has fired several military commanders due to the “poor performance” during the invasion of Ukraine, the Ministry of Defence claims.
The UK's MoD said on Twitter on Sunday that it was “highly likely” that Russian officials have fired “at least six” commanders as Vladimir Putin's invasion continues to make slow progress.
The tweet said: "The poor performance of Russia's armed forces during its invasion of Ukraine has been costly for Russia's military leadership, highly likely resulting in the dismissal of at least six Russian commanders since the start of hostilities in February 2022."

Russia foreign minister Sergey Lavrov had originally said that the goal of the military invasion was to "ensure the demilitarization of Ukraine" and "ensure the denazification of Ukraine", Newsweek reported.
However, Nato, the United States and the UK have been among the parties keen to help Ukraine with military and financial aid.
The CIA and MI6 estimated in late July that around 15,000 Russian troops have died in the conflict and Russia's planned swift capture of Kyiv failed to materialise.
Putin subsequently scaled back efforts in Ukraine's capital and has focussed instead on the eastern and southern regions in a bid to create a larger Russia-held area around the annexed Crimea region.
The MoD put the Russian military sackings down to continuing failures in Ukraine.
A statement in the tweet continued: "The commanders of Russia's Eastern and Western Military Districts have highly likely lost their commands.
To stay up to date with all the latest news, make sure you sign up to one of our newsletters here.
"General-Colonel Aleksandr Chayko was dismissed as Commander of the Eastern Military District in May 2022.
“General-Colonel Aleksandr Zhuravlev, who has commanded the Western Military District since 2018, was absent from Russia's Navy Day in St. Petersburg on 31 July 2022 and has highly likely been replaced by General-Lieutenant Vladimir Kochetkov.
The MoD also claim that General Aleksandr Vladimirovich Dvornikov been removed after previously having "overall command of the operation in Ukraine", with General Sergei Surovikin additionally replacing General Gennady Valeryevick Zhidko as head of the Southern Grouping of Forces .
The dismissals follow the deaths of least 10 Russian Generals on the battlefield in Ukraine.

I thought that saving face of dear leader was of paramount importantance for the CCP, if so why didn't they do anything to stop pelosi from humiliating XJP?
You don't even have to do something extreme like shooting down her plane. Sending fighter jets to greet her plane and forcing it to divert would be a strong show of force that would not necessarily escalate to war. Russia does these interceptions all the time with US military aircraft, and a war hasn't broken out yet.
Only explanation is that the CCP are a bunch of cowards who fear the US despite their hoopla about how powerful china is. Because the minute pelosi left they started their drills thinking they can push on someone weaker (Taiwan) without too much risk. | https://www.reddit.com/r/China/comments/wiz12l/why_is_the_ccp_so_cowardly/ | 2022-08-08T04:26:09Z | https://www.reddit.com/r/China/comments/wiz12l/why_is_the_ccp_so_cowardly/ | false | 1 |

HONG KONG:
Hong Kong will reduce the length of mandatory hotel quarantine for overseas arrivals to three days from a week, the city’s leader said Monday.
The southern Chinese city remains one of the few places in the world, together with mainland China, to require a quarantine to guard against travelers spreading Covid-19 to the local population. The policy taking effect Friday will be Hong Kong’s shortest quarantine for arrivals since the pandemic began.
Hong Kong leader John Lee said arriving travelers must quarantine three days in a designated hotel, then undergo four days of medical surveillance during which their movements will be restricted via the use of a health code system.
The changes to Covid-19 policies come amid an increase in infections, which city health officials warn could hit 8,000 in the coming weeks.
During their week of quarantine and surveillance, travelers will also have to test regularly for Covid-19 and those who are infected must stay in isolation.
Those who test negative can use public transit and enter malls and markets, but they can't enter bars and amusement parks or visit elderly homes, schools and certain medical facilities. | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/china/hong-kong-cuts-covid-hotel-quarantine-to-3-days-for-arrivals/articleshow/93419961.cms | 2022-08-08T04:40:58Z | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/china/hong-kong-cuts-covid-hotel-quarantine-to-3-days-for-arrivals/articleshow/93419961.cms | true | 11 |

9:24 am: Expert take
V K Vijayakumar, Chief Investment Strategist at Geojit Financial Services
"A paradox in the economy-market connect is that good news on the economy can turn out to be bad news for markets. This is playing out now. The July US jobs data came in at a robust 580000 against the poll of 250000. This indicates a strong economy nowhere near recession. This means the Fed might hike rates by another 75 bps in September to cool the economy to contain inflation. Therefore, there can be a near-term strengthening of the dollar. It remains to be seen how FIIs will react to this.
Growth impulses in India are strong. Leading indicators like bank credit growth, capacity utilisation in manufacturing, automobile demand etc suggest an economy in strong rebound. Financials, capital goods and construction are on a strong wicket. Pharma and FMCG are stable. Robust jobs data in the US bodes well for the IT sector."
9:21 am: Market update
Sensex falls 87 points to 58,300 and Nifty loses 32 points to 17,365 in opening trade.
8:48 am: Expert take
Prashanth Tapse - Research Analyst, Senior VP (Research), Mehta Equities
"Key benchmark indices are likely to see a gap down opening in Monday trades, in tandem with weakness in other Asian gauges after US markets closed lower on Friday. If the weakness in Asian markets persisted during the course of the trading session, traders back home would take the opportunity to book profits as the markets had risen sharply in the previous week. The biggest negative catalyst is that the US yield curve has steepened, indicating signs of recession which would further worsen the sentiment across the global equities. Last week's strong US jobs report further bolsters the case for the Federal Reserve to continue its aggressive policy tightening path. Despite the signs of caution, there are some positive catalysts like oil prices tumbling 10% last week, and FIIs turning net buyers of local equities in all the 5 trading sessions last week and buying shares worth Rs 6,992 crore."
8:41 am: Expert Take
Amol Athawale, Deputy Vice President - Technical Research, Kotak Securities
"Daily and intraday charts are indicating the continuation of a non-directional activity in the near future. The short texture of the market is still on the bullish side but a fresh uptrend rally is possible only after the breakout level of 17,500. Above the same, the index could rally up to 17,600-17,750. On the flip side, below 17,500, the index would retest the level of 17,250-17,200 and if the downside continues, it may correct up to 17,050-17,000."
8:20 am: SGX Nifty
The Indian market is likely to open lower today as SGX Nifty fell 22 points to 17,401. The Singapore Stock Exchange is considered to be the first indication of the opening of the Indian market.
8:15 am: Market on Friday
The Indian market ended higher on Friday after a day of losses led by gains in IT and banking stocks. Sensex rose 89 points to 58,387 and Nifty gained 7 points to 17,389. Of 30 Sensex stocks, 16 ended in the green.
UltraTech Cements, ICICI Bank, Bharti Airtel and PowerGrid Bank were the top Sensex gainers, rising up to 2.31 per cent.
M&M, Maruti Suzuki, Reliance Industries and IndusInd Bank were the top Sensex losers, falling up to 2.06 per cent.

From Friday August 12, new arrivals to Hong Kong will no longer need to undergo a 7-day hotel quarantine. The Hong Kong government has just announced a loosening of restrictions to allow for 3-day hotel quarantine. Here’s everything we know.
It’s about time: the Hong Kong government has announced the biggest loosening of its Covid-19 quarantine regulations since the pandemic began. In this morning’s briefing, Chief Executive John Lee announced that the seven-day mandatory hotel quarantine currently in place will be cut to three days, with four days of “health monitoring” to follow.
During the four days of health monitoring, arrivals are free to leave home with a negative daily rapid antigen test (RAT) result; however, they will still not be permitted to enter vaccine-pass venues during that period.

Hong Kong Cuts Hotel Quarantine Requirement to 3 Days
The Hong Kong government also announced the implementation of Red, Yellow and Blue Codes.
Those who are Covid positive will be marked as red, and will not be permitted to leave isolation.
Those under monitoring will be marked as yellow, but will be allowed to leave for work, school and be able to take public transportation with a negative RAT test result. They will not be permitted to enter vaccine pass venues (ie: restaurants and bars) during this period.
Those once all clear of monitoring and testing negative will be marked as blue.
The changes were made as the government noted seven-day hotel quarantine was “not cost effective” and the majority of cases will be caught within the initial three day period.

Aussie makeup mogul slams competitor Kylie Jenner's 'unhygienic laboratory snaps' wearing no hair net or gloves: 'It's a major safety risk'
- The Quick Flick's Iris Smit has taken aim at Kylie Jenner for lab photos
- The 24-year-old billionaire shared images at a lab without safety equipment
- She has defended the snaps by saying she wasn't in a real facility but Iris unsure
- She said: 'The fact she is standing next to this equipment is really concerning'
An Australian small business owner has questioned Kylie Jenner's claims that photos of her 'making magic' in her manufacturing facility where in a separate area to where the product is made.
Jenner's sanitary protocols were at the center of scrutiny on Wednesday after the beauty mogul took to social media with a clip in which she was seen at the Milan, Italy lab where her Kylie Cosmetics product is made.
The Los Angeles-born star captioned the clip, 'In the lab creating new magic for you guys ... better than ever,' tagging the name of her brand in the post.
In the post, the billionaire, 24, threw on a white lab coat as she mixed together various ingredients inside the workroom but failed to put on a hair net or gloves.
Kylie Jenner 's sanitary protocols were at the center of scrutiny Wednesday after the beauty mogul, 24, took to social media with a clip in which she was seen at the Milan, Italy lab where her Kylie Cosmetics product is made
Inspection time! She carefully checked out various parts of the lab
Owner of The Quick Flick, a Shark Tank-approved business, Iris Smit, took to her Instagram on Sunday to give her thoughts on the ongoing situation.
'Kylie Jenner posted this on the internet and the internet is not happy about it. It was a series of images of herself in a cosmetic lab,' she explained.
'She was getting called out for her lack of hygiene and safety protocol mainly because she wasn't wearing a hair net and her hair was hanging loose.
'Kylie has since tried to explain herself by saying it wasn't taken in a manufacturing facility and that she would never bypass sanitary protocols. She said it was a small, personal space where she was creating her own fun samples.
'And maybe this is the case... I've heard of facilities that have spaces like this because it makes for good content.'
But when Iris spotted the image of Kylie leaning over a large vat filled with a bulk amount of foundation-type liquid she questioned whether it really was outside of the manufacturer.

'The fact she is standing next to this equipment with her hair out is really concerning. Obviously it's unhygienic but it also poses a safety risk for herself and the people around her,' she said.
When Iris poses with her new products she must be outside of the bulk manufacturing facility - especially if wearing a full face of makeup - be wearing a hair net and a robe.
'If you have a full face of makeup on you're not allowed within any close proximity of the formula manufacturing because particles can come off your face and fall into the formula,' she said.
At the time of posting some commenters took exception to Kylie's equipment in the post, as she did not have anything to restrain her long hair as she toured the facility and oversaw the products, nor did she wear gloves in any of the images.
One user wrote, 'Wear a hair cap,' while another asked aren't you 'suppose to wear gloves, mask and the hair net thingy???'
Another user said, 'I just see so many lab rules not being followed,' while another said, 'No gloves or a hair net in a lab??? or even a mask???'
Sources told Dailymail.com that Kylie was not on the production floor and was in the accessible lab area where she could play around with colors and ideate concepts.
Kevin James Bennett, an Emmy-winning makeup artist and cosmetic professional, posted a critique of the images she posted
A number of Instagram commenters were critical of the protocols being followed in the clip
Kevin James Bennett, an Emmy-winning makeup artist and cosmetic professional, posted a critique of the images she posted.
'I'm a cosmetic developer and work with cosmetic manufacturers (and their labs) as part of my job,' Bennett said. 'I have very short hair, and I've NEVER been allowed into the lab or onto the manufacturing floor without a hair net, shoe covers, mask...and disposable GLOVES.'
Bennett claimed Jenner was 'gaslighting her followers into thinking she is creating cosmetics,' adding he questioned 'what ignorant manufacturer ... let her stage this photo-op in their lab and on the manufacturing floor - without following proper sanitation protocols.
'I need the name because I want to make sure my clients NEVER work with them.'
He wrapped up in saying, 'Folks, this is not the way we create cosmetics and misrepresents how our industry works. Credible manufacturers follow STRICT sanitation protocols to protect you.'
Jenner responded specifically to Kevin James Bennett, insisting the photo he posted was not actually taken in a manufacturing facility.
The reality star hit back at Kyle in the comments section of his post, writing: 'kevin - this picture is not taken in a manufacturing facility. i would never bypass sanitary protocols and neither would any other celeb or beauty brand owner. that’s completely unacceptable i agree.
Mixing things up! She prepared a mixture of powder and marveled at the sight of the concoction as she poured it into a glass sitting on a scale
Sneak peek! 'In the lab creating new magic for you guys,' Kylie captioned the post. 'better than ever. @kyliecosmetics'
'this is a small personal space creating my own fun samples and taking pictures for content nowhere near the mass manufacturing. no one is putting customers at risk ! shame on you kevin for spreading false information !!!!'
In photos posted to her Instagram account, Kylie showed off the various makeup ingredients as she inspected the lab with a curious eye.
She prepared a mixture of powder and marveled at the sight of the concoction as she poured it into a glass sitting on a scale.
'So cool,' Kylie remarked as a woman explained the process to her. 'I can do this,' she added. She also shared with fans a glimpse into the creation of her makeup.
One of the videos was of a mixture of red liquid, swirling about in a glass cup. She also posted photo of glitter ranging from shades fuchsia to blue.
Kylie was just 17 when she launched her wildly successful makeup company with her iconic lip kits.
'I was 17 when I launched Kylie Cosmetics,' she said in video describing her company's origin story last year. 'It feels weird that this is my life now, looking back at it though, makeup has just been a part of my DNA.' She also detailed her insecurities with her lips.
All that glitters! Jenner showed off various containers full of colorful glitter
She ultimately turned to her mother Kris Jenner for help launching her business.
'I remember her saying, "One day can we have a little meeting?" And I said, "Yeah, you want to have a little meeting?" She was like 17, 16,' Kris recounted. 'And she goes, I finally figured out what I want to do with my life.'
Her dream was to enter the makeup business, and she planned on starting off with a lip kit.
'I said "Well Kylie, you have a savings that you've earned from Keeping Up With The Kardashians from all these years." I said, "You're going to have to use your own money if you really want to make this work because that's going to be your motivation and your drive."'
Ultimately, Kylie's lip kits sold out in less than a minute when she launched them in 2015.
Kylie's venture ultimate expanded from just lip kits to a whole range of cosmetics including eye shadows, blush, and foundation.

MADISON, Wis. – Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes grew up in Milwaukee with a mom who was a public school teacher and a father who worked in a factory — both union members, an important credential in a state where the labor movement is still a force.
At 35, Barnes is nearly half the age of the average U.S. senator, and would join a tiny group of Black senators — and be the first from Wisconsin — if he wins election to the chamber.
That biography stands to turn Barnes into one of the most prominent Democrats in the U.S. this year as the party aims to defeat one of its top targets: Republican Sen. Ron Johnson. His ouster is such a priority that Barnes’ top Democratic rivals dropped out of the primary in recent weeks to rally around him, leaving Tuesday’s primary as mostly a formality ahead of what’s certain to be a brutal and expensive general election campaign.
“I wanted to make sure we can win this fall,” his closest rival, Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry, said when he dropped out and supported Barnes. “That is the No. 1 goal.”
Ousting Johnson has never been a bigger priority for Democrats with majority control of the Senate on the line. He's the only incumbent Senate Republican seeking reelection this year in a state that President Joe Biden carried. But Johnson has proven tough to beat as he's grown from a tea party outsider into one of Donald Trump‘s most vocal supporters and Wisconsin's senior senator.
This election is Johnson's first against someone other than Russ Feingold, whom he defeated in 2010 and then in a 2016 rematch, losses that still sting liberals in the swing state. Johnson is running for a third term after previously saying he wouldn't.
“Democrats will walk through fire and across broken glass to beat Ron Johnson,” Democratic strategist Joe Zepecki said.
With his focus increasingly on the fall, Barnes is emphasizing an everyman image in campaign ads, including one in a grocery store in which he says most senators don’t know what a gallon of milk costs.
“But I’m not like most senators,” Barnes says, walking down the store aisle. “Or any of the other millionaires running for Senate. My mom was a teacher and my dad worked third shift.”
Barnes served four years in the state Assembly representing Milwaukee before he won the statewide primary for lieutenant governor in 2018 to be paired with Gov. Tony Evers. Evers then defeated Gov. Scott Walker, who enraged Democrats over eight years in office, most famously for his Act 10 law that effectively ended collective bargaining for most public workers.
Barnes, who must still get past a handful of little-known opponents Tuesday, has already turned his sights to Johnson. He frequently compares beating Walker to what it will take to deny Johnson a third term.
“It’s going to be difficult, an uphill battle,” Barnes said after Lasry dropped out of the race. “But I know it’ll be that much easier because we’re in this together. And I’ll remind you that four years ago, the race to get rid of Scott Walker was a difficult one, one that a lot of people in the audience today said was impossible. But we got it done because we came together.”
Johnson raised about $7 million in donations between April and June, more than the entire Democratic field. Barnes raised about $2.1 million. But in the week after Lasry and the others dropped out, Barnes reported raising $1.1 million.
Barnes built the most well-rounded campaign in the primary, with key endorsements from the likes of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, raising money and delivering a message focused on that middle-class upbringing. When it was reported during the 2018 campaign that Barnes had earned so little that he paid no income tax and was on the state's Medicaid program, he embraced it as evidence that he understood how critical the program is for working people.
Barnes previewed his attack strategy in his first TV spot after his top rivals dropped out, accusing Johnson of being “out of touch with Wisconsin,” citing Johnson's decision not to attempt to save 1,000 jobs moving out of state. Johnson said at the time that Wisconsin has enough jobs.
Johnson and Republicans are already at work portraying Barnes as too liberal for Wisconsin. In a state that Trump won in 2016 and lost in 2020 by a nearly equal number of votes, the election will once again likely come down to who can win over independents, a small but key group.
“The power brokers of the Democrat party have now cleared the field for their most radical left candidate,” Johnson tweeted before the primary. “Socialist policies have produced this mess, & a radical left Senator from Wisconsin is not the solution.”
The Senate Leadership Fund, a political action committee that works to get Republicans elected, targeted Barnes for holding an “Abolish ICE” T-shirt; his supportive comments about the Green New Deal and Medicaid for all; and a 2020 tweet in which he said, “Defunding the police only dreams of being as radical as a Donald Trump pardon.”
Republicans have also attacked Barnes for supporting ending cash bail and comments he made at a candidate town hall last fall about the founding of the country that referenced slavery and colonization. “The United States is the most wealthy, the most powerful nation on earth, and it’s because of forced labor on stolen land,” Barnes said.
Winning the primary without facing the attacks that are to come may come back to haunt Democrats, said Republican strategist and former Johnson campaign staff member Brian Reisinger.
“The question for Democrats now is have they had a thorough vetting process to have a candidate who can do what they haven’t done before,” Reisinger said. “It’s not clear if they’ve really figured out who can beat Ron Johnson. These candidates have not really tested one another.”
Barnes deflected a question about whether he would be a stronger candidate if the Democratic primary had been more contentious.
“What’s most important is that we are experiencing a unity that has not been seen before,” Barnes said. “In this state, we set out out of the gate to build a broad coalition. We are doing just that. This is about uniting the party. And I would say that we are more united than we’ve ever been before.”
Johnson was first elected as a fiscal conservative, known for attacking spending and intent on lowering the national debt. In recent years, as the coronavirus rose and Trump fell, he became a lightning rod for anti-science positions and conspiracy theories on the 2020 election.
He joined the many Republicans who have played down the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, saying he wasn’t scared by the insurrectionists but would have been concerned if they had been Black Lives Matter protesters. It also emerged during a recent Jan. 6 House committee hearing that Johnson had wanted to hand-deliver ballots cast by fake GOP electors to Vice President Mike Pence.
Johnson’s favorability rating in a June 22 Marquette University Law School poll was just 37%, lower than President Joe Biden's 40% approval rating. But Johnson was about even in matchups with Barnes. However, enthusiasm among Republicans was higher than Democrats for voting in the upcoming primary.
Democratic voter Leah Siordia, who attended a Barnes rally with Warren, said she was making her pick based on who she thought could beat Johnson. Before Lasry dropped out, the 57-year-old retired computer analyst was considering him, but she was leaning toward Barnes.
“He's a real person to me, not just a billionaire,” Siordia said of Barnes. And she added: “Anybody’s better than Johnson.” | https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/politics/2022/08/08/dems-look-ahead-to-barnes-in-fall-race-against-ron-johnson/ | 2022-08-08T05:04:51Z | https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/politics/2022/08/08/dems-look-ahead-to-barnes-in-fall-race-against-ron-johnson/ | true | 22 |
UP BJP to expand Muslim outreach through ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’
Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh BJP Minority Morcha will reach out to nearly five lakh Muslim households from August 12 under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign.
The state BJP Minority Morcha president Basit Ali said, “We are targeting to hoist the Tricolour on at least 5 lakh Muslim households. We will also reach out to dargahs and madrasas during the campaign.”
“The exercise is being planned as dargahs can spread the message widely. People, essentially Muslims, easily connect with dargahs and madrasas,” he added.
The party cadre will unfurl the Tricolour on madrasas and dargahs, and get photos clicked for uploading them on social media platforms to ramp up party’s nationalist campaign among the minorities.
The move comes over two months after the Uttar Pradesh Madrasa Education Board made singing of the national anthem mandatory before the start of classes.
Earlier, soon after coming to power in 2017, the BJP had made the recital of the national anthem and the flag hoisting mandatory on Independence Day in madrasas.
Party sources said that during the campaign, special focus will be on ‘Pasmandas’ (backward community among Muslims) after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s stress on amplifying the party’s outreach among them.
The party is learnt to have identified around 50,000 Muslim-dominated booths where it plans to step up awareness drive about public welfare schemes initiated by the Centre.
The party aims to cut through religious lines in carrying out its ambitious ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign which seeks to cover more than 4 crore households and government offices in Uttar Pradesh.

LeBron James is looking prouder by the minute, sharing videos of his sons Bryce and Bronny James dunking in the Lakers training facility.
Bronny James and Bryce James look poised and ready to hit the big leagues. At just the tender age of 15 and 17 respectively, the two are remarkably powerful athletes.
It looks as though they inherited the explosiveness of their father. They have been in the gyms working out continuously and it shows.
LeBron cannot contain his happiness. He has been showing off his sons’ prowess on the basketball court for the last few months with great enthusiasm. As a proud father should.

What is cooking in the James family? Bryce and Bronny James are becoming insanely athletic basketball players!
The James family cook must be on overtime. The two boys have grown by leaps and bounds since the last year. The result is two explosive athletes that can seemingly dunk with ease in their teenage years.

Dear Amy: Our teenage daughter, who has put us through the wringer in many ways, was recently caught stealing money. She took $20 from Dad’s wallet and $5 from mine.
We confronted her lovingly, set limits, gave consequences, and dried her tears with hugs and lots of love.
That night, I wrote her a card about how much I love her and stuck it under her door because she seemed down. I felt really great about how we handled the crisis! Except she went back into my purse THE NEXT DAY and stole all the rest of my money.
Now I find I can’t even look at her. I feel so betrayed. How do you go forward when you can’t trust your kid?
She is on antidepressants and under the care of a psychiatrist. She was in therapy, but no longer wants to go.
She has been caught cutting herself, smoking pot, vaping, shoplifting, sexting, climbing out her second-story window, and tattooing herself.
Up until now, I thought it was just an excess of teenage bad judgment — the kind you’ll laugh about someday.
But now I’m starting to feel used. Honestly, stealing from us right after the confrontation really pushed me over the edge. She also admitted it – both times.
We’re planning on locking our wallets up from now on, by the way. Sigh.
Any advice?
– Anxious Parents
Dear Anxious: I suggest that you toughen your spines while you also toughen the way you love your daughter.
Some of her behavior falls into the “self-harm” category, and you parents should seek the advice of her therapist and psychiatrist to determine whether she might need intensive, possibly residential treatment. A neuropsychological evaluation might be helpful.
You should also find an experienced family systems therapist for yourselves.
Your daughter’s behavior and defiance might be her way of quite literally crying out for help, so rather than hugging it out and then feeling personally betrayed when she immediately defies you, you should very firmly and lovingly heed the alarm.
You don’t note what consequences you are leveling in response to her behavior, but one consequence should be that she must attend her therapy sessions, regardless of whether she wants to. She cannot be in charge of herself right now, and so you must step up and be in charge of her.
You don’t say what she is doing with the money she has been stealing, but she could be abusing drugs or alcohol.
She might be responding or reacting to a trauma in her own life that you have no knowledge of.
My overall point is that in my opinion, this is not normal teenage tomfoolery that you will laugh about later. At this point you are fighting to preserve her future.
Don’t fight with her – fight for her.
Dear Amy: I recently saw an old friend that I had not seen in 25 years.
While we were catching up and talking about our children, he showed me a photo of his 19-year-old daughter, whom I had never met.
I did not ask to see a photo. If she was a small child or baby, I would have responded with how adorable she was, but I do not otherwise feel comfortable commenting on a person’s looks.
I did not see that she bore any resemblance to him, so I didn’t say anything along those lines.
It would have been odd to respond that she looked smart or talented.
What is an acceptable response to being shown an unsolicited photo of someone?
I would have been happy to provide a little white lie if I had one in the holster, but I had nothing.
– Awkward
Dear Awkward: Your tone implies that your old friend was somehow rudely putting you on the spot in showing you a photo of his daughter.
You can easily dodge commenting on a person’s looks by asking: “Now, where was this taken?” “What is she up to?” etc. etc.
Or you can use the photo to pivot back to the two of you: “Wow, 19 years old. Where has the time gone?”
Dear Amy: A question from “Loving, but Sad Daughter” bothered me.
She was upset because her mother (her father’s first wife) was not mentioned in her father’s obit.
An ex-spouse is no longer a member of the family. They shouldn’t make it into the obit!
– I’m an Ex
Dear Ex: “Sad Daughter” objected to the fact that by omitting any mention of her father’s first marriage, the obit stated that she was her stepmother’s daughter.

As daytime temperatures hover near triple digits, there are growing concerns about the county’s tethering ordinance.
Critics want county commissioners to write a new ordinance that provides more protection for dogs tethered outside for hours at a time in all weather conditions.
Lynn Stephens, a volunteer with No Kill Glynn, said a petition is being circulated asking for a new ordinance that has more protections for tethered dogs.
In a perfect world, tethering would be banned in the Golden Isles, but Stephens said she understands there are circumstances where tethering a dog may be a person’s only option. She just doesn’t want to see them tethered with no restrictions on how long they can remain outside.
Some dogs are tethered because they don’t live in a place with a fenced-in yard. Other dogs are tethered because their owners don’t have the health or time to take their pets for a walk.
Stephanie Schafer, a No Kill Glynn volunteer, said the petition she is circulating has more than 2,500 signatures already. She plans to present it to county commissioners at an upcoming meeting.
Glynn County Commissioner Bill Brunson described tethering as a “horrible practice,” especially in the hot summer heat. He believes some dogs are tethered outside for security purposes.
But Brunson questioned if a stronger ordinance is the solution.
“I don’t know how you would enforce it,” he said. “I will support anything as long as it’s enforceable.”
Schafer said she has made four presentations to county commissioners to point out the flaws in the existing tethering ordinance which allows a dog owner to keep a dog on a six-foot tether to a stationary object outside its entire life regardless of the weather.
Dogs on short tethers are virtually helpless to defend themselves and become more aggressive because they cannot run away when threatened by another dog.
Schafer said she has sent county commissioners copies of three different tethering ordinances in Georgia cities that could be used as a template for a stronger local ordinance.
“County commissioners have failed to act, at all,” she said. “You need to make this law humane."
Commission Chairman Wayne Neal said he "has a love of animals as deep as anyone" but he said it's challenging to create a tethering ordinance that is fair to everyone. He said it's difficult to investigate complaints and some calls could be personal disputes that have nothing to do with the welfare of an animal.
"It gets really tough when you try to make it too strong," Neal said. | https://thebrunswicknews.com/news/local_news/petition-drive-calls-for-strengthened-tethering-ordinance/article_62157101-cff4-562e-802a-2c09d260feac.html | 2022-08-08T05:19:06Z | https://thebrunswicknews.com/news/local_news/petition-drive-calls-for-strengthened-tethering-ordinance/article_62157101-cff4-562e-802a-2c09d260feac.html | true | 1 |

THE Group 10 versus Group 11 rivalry enters a new era this weekend when the inaugural Peter McDonald Premiership finals take place across Saturday and Sunday.
We now have our eight finalists decided after an exciting last round of the regular season, and we get set for four enticing Group 10 vs Group 11 finals games.
Advertisement
Some teams left it late to book their place in the finals, others have continued to rain down points on their rivals while others now have to look towards 2023 as they try to hone in on what went wrong this season.
Here's the talking points after the weekend's latest round of action...
1) Panthers leave it late to secure their spot
THERE'S nothing like a last day battle to decide the one remaining finals spot, and that's what spectators were treated to on Sunday at Carrington Park.
Bathurst Panthers had to win over Lithgow Workies to get back ahead of Orange Hawks into fourth spot on the table, which they managed to do in a 52-18 victory at home.
It's a different situation for a Panthers side who have become accustomed to wrapping up a finals position much earlier than this, having entered the Peter McDonald Premiership as the two-time defending Group 10 premiers.
Spare a thought for Hawks who battled hard to get past Cowra Magpies 22-20 on Saturday to jump inside the top four on Saturday, only to drop back down to fifth less than 24 hours later.
Panthers skipper Jake Betts said after an injury-ridden season for his side it's great to enter finals with such a positive result.
"It always feels great after you win a game like that. The confidence is high at the moment but we're not under any illusions that we don't have to work hard," he said.
"We're going to have to do things the hard way. We've got our backs against the wall but we'll thrive on that.
"We've got Dubbo Macquarie to come. You're going to have to get through them all at some point if you're going to win the whole thing, so we'll put our best foot forward and see how we go."
2) Porter's a points machine for Parkes
THE race for the regular season's top points scorer title wasn't really a close battle in the end as Parkes Spacemen halfback Chad Porter sailed clear.
Porter added another try and six conversions to his name in Sunday's 36-14 victory over the Wellington Cowboys to finish with a personal haul of 154 points.
It was a Group 11 lockout of the points podium, with Forbes Magpies halfback Nick Greenhalgh (122) and Dubbo CYMS fullback Brad Pickering (112) rounding out the top three.
Orange CYMS' Patrick Williams (106) was the only other player to surpass the century.
All four of those players will have the opportunity to add to their respective tallies in the upcoming finals series.

Dubbo CYMS' livewire Jeremy Thurston is atop the try scorers' list with 18, followed by Forbes' Mitch Andrews and Bathurst Panthers' Desi Doolan (both 16).
Mudgee Dragons' Corin Smith (15) and Parkes' Chad Porter (14) were the other players to score at a rate of one try per game or better.
3) Finals draw will help fuel debate over which Group is best
IT'S a debate which existed long before the concept of the Peter McDonald McDonald was even tabled, it's a debate which has continued this season, and the debate over which is the stronger out of Group 10 and Group 11 will no doubt intensify this weekend.
After starting with 13 contenders now only eight remain - four from Group 10 and four from Group 11.
Advertisement
Each of this weekend's finals will be battles drawn along the old Group lines.
There's eliminators which will see Dubbo Macquarie and Bathurst Panthers face off and St Pat's fighting for survival against Parkes.
Then there's the Dubbo CYMS versus Orange CYMS and Mudgee against Forbes qualifiers.
Two of those clashes have already occurred, Pat's beat Parkes 30-20 in round one and Forbes edged out Mudgee 22-20 in round two, but the others are unknown territory.
It's a chance for Group 10 to prove its credentials.
It's an opportunity for Group 11 to show it's the stronger of the league rivals.
Advertisement
But what it also shows the draw for the inaugural competition has worked out well.
While Group 10 president Linore Zamparini knows the draw can be improved, that the eight sides with the best records are those that have emerged from the pool system is a good look.
"It's still a work in progress with everything in the Peter McDonald Premiership draw, we're not going to get it right 100 percent straight up," Zamparini said.
"But it will always work that way for the finals ... you'll just take the top four from each Group.
"Look you could be in Group 10 and have won more games but someone in Group 11 is going to sneak in because from each Group it's one, two, three, four, but that's just how it is.
"If you keep winning well you don't have to go into the correspondence then, you just walk straight in."

4) Back to drawing board for those who missed out
WITH eight teams making the finals it means that, sadly, five others have to miss out.
For Group 10 sides Orange Hawks, Cowra Magpies and Lithgow Workies plus Group 11's Nyngan Tigers and Wellington Cowboys it's the end of the road for 2022.
For now they'll rest up, and then the time will come to assess what's needed to be done ahead of 2023.
Hawks only missed out on finals by a solitary point, so there's not a mountain to climb for them to try and reach the next level, but for the other four clubs there's plenty of work ahead.

Cowra and Nyngan won't be in panic stations just yet, as they know that a mixture of injuries and suspensions made the going tough this season.
However, Wellington and Workies will certainly be chasing more numbers to help bolster their prospects.
Workies player-coach Greg Alderson said it's been a tough road for the club over the past three seasons.
"We're very much rebuilding at the moment. COVID's hit us pretty hard. There's a fair few of our boys from the mountains and after that situation they couldn't get down there," he said.
"We lost probably 40 players from 2019 and they've all either moved away or retired. We're in a rebuilding process now and we've got a few local boys that are playing well. If we can build on that, keep them around, have a good pre-season then we can shake it up next year."
The club's under 18s have given the club something to smile about as they gear up for finals.

5) CYMS reserves are back in the hunt
It's not often you'd find high drama in Group 10 reserve grade but the past two weeks have been nothing but.
As discussed in this column last week, Orange CYMS were appealing their 30-30 result against Bathurst Panthers after the latter scored after what should have been full-time.
CYMS were successful in their appeal and awarded the two points.
Needing to keep their finals dream alive, CYMS were facing a red-hot Mudgee team on Sunday who sat in first place.
Advertisement
A 28-14 result landed the way of CYMS as they managed to stay in fourth with Panthers jumping from fifth to second with a win over Lithgow Workies.
The loss for Workies was a brutal turn of events as they went from third to missing out on finals all together.
6) Ronayne praises unsung Raiders hero
Macquarie Raiders captain-coach Alex Ronayne sported blood and cuts all over his face after his sides' game against Dubbo CYMS on Sunday but it didn't stop him from praising an unsung hero.
After a few injuries early, Raiders hooker Kane McDermott was instrumental in getting Macquarie back in the middle as well as handling the CYMS forward pack.
While his efforts may go unrecognised by some, Ronayne knows just how valuable McDermott could be come finals time.

"I'm very impressed with Kane McDermott," he said.
"He does a lot of stuff people don't see but credit to those boys.
"We will get ready for next week then take it week by week."

Odisha, Bengal brace for heavy rain as depression looms
Odisha, Bengal brace for heavy rain as depression looms
Bhubaneswar/Kolkata: Odisha and neighbouring West Bengal are likely to receive heavy rainfall over the next two to three days, due to a depression that is set to take shape over the Bay of Bengal, the Met office said. A low-pressure area, which formed on Saturday, concentrated into a well-marked system over the northwest Bay of Bengal, off the coasts of Odisha and northern Andhra Pradesh.
It is expected to intensify into a depression during the next 48 hours and move northwestwards across Odisha and Chhattisgarh, the Bhubaneswar Meteorological Centre said.

Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) has declared that its 45th Annual General Meet (AGM) post IPO (Initial Public Offering) will take place on August 29, 2022. The AGM will start at 2 PM, and you can see it through a video conferencing solution from Jio called JioMeet. RIL announces most of its major next moves at the AGM itself. Thus, if Jio doesn't launch 5G on August 15, 2022, then it could be the day of the AGM when we get to see 5G for the first time from Jio.
Reliance Industries has also announced a dividend of Rs 8 per share. The 'Record Date' for getting dividends from Reliance Industries is August 19, 2022. This basically means that you need to keep shares in your holdings on or by August 19, 2022, to be eligible to receive dividends from the company. Further, the dividends will be paid out within a week once they are declared at the AGM.
Reliance has been making big strides in multiple areas. One of those is telecom, and another is retail. Much recently, Reliance announced its partnership with Balenciaga to bring the best of global fashion to India. The thing worth noting here is that Reliance would be the sole retail partner of the company in India.
Further, we could get to see some major announcements around Jio's 5G networks. Hopefully, there's something around a 5G smartphone from Jio as well. Jio could also launch 5G prepaid/postpaid plans during the AGM. It will be interesting to see the vision that the Ambani family has for the next few years. Reliance Industries has been expanding its footprint in multiple areas, including franchise cricket all across the world.
Jio Laptop is also something that we would like to see announcements around. It is expected to be an affordable laptop built for the masses by India's number one telco - Reliance Jio. | https://telecomtalk.info/reliance-industries-45th-agm-to-take-place/540799/ | 2022-08-08T05:58:12Z | https://telecomtalk.info/reliance-industries-45th-agm-to-take-place/540799/ | true | 1 |
Officials: 6 shot, 1 fatally, after argument at Atlanta park
ATLANTA (WGCL) - An investigation is underway after authorities say a man died and five other people, including a 6-year-old, were shot at Atlanta’s Dunbar Park.
Deputies responded to the park in southwest Atlanta on Sunday evening to a call of a person shot. Deputy Chief Charles Hampton Jr. says they arrived to find multiple people shot.
Investigators believe there was “some type of dispute” that occurred, WGCL reports.
“There was some type of baseball-softball game going on at the park. There was an argument that ensued, and the next thing you know, there was an exchange in gunfire,” Hampton said.
Hampton says a male in his 30s was rushed to Grady Hospital, where he died.
A 6-year-old child among those injured was rushed to Egleston Hospital. There is no official word on the current extent of the victims’ injuries.
Hampton urged citizens to “find a way to resolve conflict without weapons.”
“We can’t control the actions of others. We hate the actions of a small percentage of people to ruin,” he said.
Authorities urge anyone who was at Dunbar Park or knows any information regarding this shooting to call Crime Stoppers.
This marks the third reported fatal shooting in Atlanta in a three-hour span.
Police are investigating after they say a 4-year-old girl was shot and killed in the backseat of a car on the interstate Sunday evening, and a man has died after being shot in the Bankhead neighborhood Sunday afternoon.

Award-Winning Office Celebrates a Decade of Service to Clients in Korea
SEOUL, Korea, Aug. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ropes & Gray, a leading global law firm in Asia, the U.S. and the U.K.—and the first international law firm to open an office in Korea 10 years ago—announced today that private equity partner Jaewoo Lee has been named the managing partner of the firm's Seoul office, effective August 1.
William Yongkyun Kim, who has served as Seoul managing partner since the establishment of the office in 2012, will remain at the firm in an advisory capacity as senior counsel. Mr. Kim led the firm's efforts to establish an office in Korea a decade ago, and was the first Foreign Legal Consultant approved by the Korean Bar Association. Today, Ropes & Gray is recognized as a leading international law firm in the region and the appointment of Mr. Lee reflects the firm's long-term commitment to the Korean market.
Mr. Lee guides sophisticated investors, companies and financial institutions in cross-border private equity and M&A transactions with a connection to Korea. He regularly works with the world's premier private equity sponsors on their inbound investments, and advises Korean clients on key outbound M&A and other transactions.
For successive years, Mr. Lee has been ranked in Band One by both Chambers Global and Chambers Asia-Pacific, named a Leading Individual by Legal 500 Asia-Pacific, and is Highly Regarded by IFLR1000 for his Corporate and M&A advisory in Korea.

"Clients turn to Ropes & Gray to seize on exciting growth opportunities. Our Korea team helps international clients achieve their key business objectives, which have increasingly included opportunities in Korea's dynamic market. For Korea-based clients, we help them grow abroad, and especially in the U.S.," said David Djaha, managing partner. He continued: "Korea has one of the world's most dynamic economies. We thank our Korean and international clients for entrusting us with their most complex legal and business challenges."
"I am honored to be leading the Seoul office as we celebrate 10 years in Korea. I would like to express the firm's appreciation for the support we have received from our clients, as well as our local law firm partners," Jaewoo Lee said. "We are dedicated to being the leading international law firm for private equity, M&A and intellectual property in this market."
In 2012, Ropes & Gray was the first international law firm to open a Foreign Legal Consultant Office in Korea. The firm's Seoul-based team focuses on private equity transactions and cross-border M&A, and intellectual property litigation and license negotiations. Ropes & Gray clients include global and regional private equity sponsors, as well as Korean multinational companies and their U.S. subsidiaries, and major Korean technology firms. The firm is also known across Asia for sophisticated counsel within the life sciences and asset management industries.
"We are deeply appreciative of Bill's work to found and lead our Seoul office. We thank him for his leadership. We also congratulate Jaewoo on his new role. He is an accomplished lawyer and a strong leader, who understands how to help clients grow their business in Korea and around the world," said Julie Jones, chair.
An illustration of the firm's global approach to the Korean market can be found in partner Jackie Kahng, a finance partner based in the firm's Hong Kong office. Jackie is fluent in Korean and provides key counsel to global and local clients on Asia finance matters, adding to our Seoul office's capabilities.

Girl tied to bed posts in home with two dead bodies chewed herself free from restraints, investigators say
DADEVILLE, Ala. ( WRBL ) – A 12-year-old girl escaped an alleged kidnapping at a mobile home where two decomposing bodies were found in Alabama.
Investigators are calling the girl who escaped early Monday morning a hero. They say the girl was restrained to bed posts inside the mobile home for more than a week and given alcohol to keep her in a drugged state. She escaped by chewing out of her restraints, damaging the braces on her teeth in the process, detectives say.
The man who lived at the mobile home, 37-year-old Jose Reyes, was arrested Monday, August 1, and charged with Kidnapping 1st Degree. Prosecutors expect to charge Reyes with two counts of Capital Murder, along with other charges, after their investigation revealed two decomposing bodies inside the residence.
Investigators believe the kidnapping occurred around July 24, with Reyes intending to inflict physical injury or sexual abuse. Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett will not say how Reyes knew the child or if the child was related to the two individuals found dead inside the home. Their identities and cause of death have yet to be released. The child was not reported missing by any relatives
Abbett declined to say if her family had been located or not.
Possible Kidnapping under investigation in Tallapoosa County, person in custody Reyes was located Monday in the Auburn area by U.S. Marshalls and taken into custody. He remains behind bars in Tallapoosa County, on no bond, pending the additional charges.
The investigation began Monday when the sheriff says the girl was seen by a motorist as the child walked along County Road 34 away from the mobile home. The motorist called 911, deputies arrived, and the little girl received medical attention. Court documents indicate deputies observed marks on the victim’s wrists indicative of being restrained.
Multiple law enforcement agencies then began an investigation at the mobile home and that’s when the bodies were located. The metal underpinning of the mobile home was ripped off, and it looks like investigators focused their attention along the ground under the mobile home.
Tuesday, yellow crime scene tape still surrounded the mobile home. Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s investigators remained at the scene. The FBI and Department of Homeland Security are also involved in the investigation.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — A fragile cease-fire deal to end nearly three days of fighting between Israel and Palestinian militants in Gaza held throughout the night and into Monday morning — a sign that the latest round of violence appears to have abated.
The flare-up was the worst fighting between Israel and Gaza militant groups since Israel and Gaza's Hamas rulers fought an 11-day war last year, adding to the destruction and misery that have plagued blockaded Gaza for years.
Since Friday, Israeli aircraft had pummeled targets in Gaza while the Iran-backed Palestinian Jihad militant group fired hundreds of rockets at Israel.
Over three days of fighting, 43 Palestinians were killed, including 15 children and four women, and 311 were wounded, the Palestinian Health Ministry said. Israel said some of the dead were killed by misfired rockets.
Israel on Monday said it was partially reopening crossings into Gaza for humanitarian needs and would fully open them if calm was maintained.
Life for hundreds of thousands of Israelis was disrupted during the violence. Security precautions imposed in recent days on residents of southern Israel were being gradually lifted Monday, the military said.
The violence had threatened to spiral into another all-out war but ended up being contained because Gaza's ruling Hamas group stayed on the sidelines, possibly because it fears Israeli reprisals and undoing economic understandings with Israel, including Israeli work permits for thousands of Gaza residents, that bolster its control over the coastal strip.
Israel and Hamas have fought four wars since the group overran the territory in 2007.
Israel launched its operation with a strike Friday on a leader of the Islamic Jihad, saying there were “concrete threats” of an anti-tank missile attack against Israelis in response to the arrest last week of another senior Islamic Jihad member in the West Bank. That arrest came after months of Israeli raids in the West Bank to round up suspects following a spate of Palestinian attacks against Israel.
It killed another Islamic Jihad leader in a strike on Saturday.
Israel said some of the deaths during this round were caused by errant rocket fire, including one incident in the Jebaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza in which six Palestinians were killed Saturday. On Sunday, a projectile hit a home in the same area of Jebaliya, killing two men. Palestinians held Israel responsible, while Israel said it was investigating whether the area was struck by an errant rocket.
The outburst of violence was a key test for Israel's caretaker Prime Minister Yair Lapid, who lacks experience leading military operations. Still, he unleashed the offensive less than three months before a general election in which he is campaigning to keep the job.
President Joe Biden said he welcomed the cease-fire between Israel and Gaza-based militants.
“Over these last 72-hours, the United States has worked with officials from Israel, the Palestinian Authority, Egypt, Qatar, Jordan, and others throughout the region to encourage a swift resolution to the conflict,” he said in a statement Sunday.
The U.N. Security Council was to hold an emergency meeting Monday on the violence. China, which holds the council presidency this month, scheduled the session in response to a request from the United Arab Emirates, which represents Arab nations on the council, as well as China, France, Ireland and Norway.
“We underscore our commitment to do all we can towards ending the ongoing escalation, ensuring the safety and security of the civilian population, and following-up on the Palestinian prisoners file,” said U.N. Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland, in a statement.
The Israeli army said militants in Gaza fired about 580 rockets toward Israel. The army said its air defenses had intercepted many of them, with two of those shot down being fired toward Jerusalem. Islamic Jihad has fewer fighters and supporters than Hamas.
Islamic Jihad has fewer fighters and supporters than Hamas, and little is known about its arsenal. Both groups call for Israel's destruction, but have different priorities, with Hamas constrained by the demands of governing.
Hamas had a strong incentive to avoid another war. Last year’s Israel-Hamas war, one of four major conflicts, and several smaller battles over the last 15 years, have exacted a staggering toll on the impoverished territory’s 2.3 million Palestinian residents.
Over the past year, Israel and Hamas have reached tacit understandings based on trading calm for work permits and a slight easing of the border blockade, imposed by Israel and Egypt when Hamas overran the territory 15 years ago. Israel has issued 12,000 work permits to Gaza laborers, and has held out the prospect of granting another 2,000 permits.

Myanmar's ambassador to China died on Sunday, according to diplomatic sources He is the fourth ambassador to die in China in the past year.
Ambassador U Myo Thant Pe was last seen on Saturday meeting a local official in the southwestern Chinese province of Yunnan which borders Myanmar, according to a local news report.
Three diplomats briefed about his passing told Reuters he died on Sunday while travelling in Yunnan. Diplomats and one report in Myanmar media said the cause of death is likely to be a heart attack.
The Myanmar embassy did not immediately respond to a query for comment.
U Myo Thant Pe was apppointed ambassador to China in late 2019 and stayed in his post after Myanmar's military took power in a coup in February 2021.
Three other top foreign envoys to China have died in the past year.
German ambassador Jan Hecker, 54, died in September, less than two weeks into his Beijing posting. Ukraine ambassador Serhiy Kamyshev, 65, died in February during or shortly after a visit to a Beijing Winter Olympics venue.
Philippines ambassador Jose Santiago "Chito" Sta. Romana, 74, died in quarantine in the eastern Chinese province of Anhui in April.

Government officials on Monday morning demolished the 'illegal' structures built by absconding politician Shrikant Tyagi outside his Noida residence.
The demolition outside Tyagi's ground floor apartment in Grand Omaxe society in Noida's Sector 93B was carried out around 9 am by the Noida Authority, an official told PTI.
Tyagi, who claims to be a Bharatiya Janata Party politician, has been booked by the police for assaulting and abusing a co-resident of Grand Omaxe, who had objected to him planting trees in the common area of the society.
The in-charge of a Noida police station has also been shunted as probe into the assault on the woman inside the housing society intensified, officials said on Monday.
Sujeet Upadhyay, in-charge of Phase 2 police station, was removed from the post late Sunday night.
"Inspector Paramhans Tiwari has been appointed as the in-charge of Phase 2 police station in view of administrative requirements," a police spokesperson said Monday morning.
The action came a day after high drama unfolded at the Omaxe Grand society in Sector 93B, where local BJP leaders lashed out at the police for not being able to arrest accused Shrikant Tyagi, who went absconding on Friday night.
Tyagi has identified himself as the national executive member of the BJP's Kisan Morcha and national co-cordinator of its Yuva Samiti.
The ruling party, however, maintains that he is not even its primary member.
Gautam Buddh Nagar MP Mahesh Sharma visited Omaxe Grand on Sunday evening and interacted with the residents after around a dozen aides of Tyagi had entered the society without permission earlier in the day, raising tension.
"I am ashamed to say that all this is happening when our (BJP) government is in power," Sharma said over an apparent phone call to Uttar Pradesh government's additional chief secretary (home) Awanish Awasthi.
He sought immediate action against Tyagi and security for the woman and her family even as he assured residents of the society of justice.
The police had arrested six of Tyagi's aides, who had entered the society on Sunday, and were probing how they managed to gain entry despite private security deployment there, the officials said.
Late Sunday, District Magistrate Suhas L Yathiraj and Police Commissioner Alok Singh also visited the society and interacted with the residents.
"Tyagi would be booked under the Gangsters Act and strictest action taken against him so that an example is set for people like him," Singh said.
Before he went underground, Tyagi claimed to be a BJP politician, even as the party stresses that he is not even its member as it blocked the attacks being mounted by opposition parties over the episode.
The police, meanwhile, continued its search for Tyagi on Monday, a day after it questioned over half a dozen people linked to him, including his wife, at his home, according to officials.
He was booked under Indian Penal Code section 354 (assault or use of criminal force on any woman, intending to outrage or knowing it to be likely that he will thereby outrage her modesty) on Friday over a spat with a co-resident of their housing society.
The woman had objected to plantation of some trees by Tyagi, citing violation of rules, even as he claimed he was within his rights to do so. | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/bulldozer-action-on-bjp-politician-seen-assaulting-woman-in-viral-video/20220808.htm | 2022-08-08T06:47:49Z | https://www.rediff.com/news/report/bulldozer-action-on-bjp-politician-seen-assaulting-woman-in-viral-video/20220808.htm | false | 2 |
A planned strike by e-hailing drivers in Gauteng has been called off until further notice as drivers expect a mediation process with their companies soon.
Drivers will not go offline and are expected to continue service on Monday. After increases in petrol prices, drivers are concerned about how much they take home.
“Bolt has indicated it is only available from September 26 to 30 for the mediation. It has, however, availed itself on August 10 and 16 for the meeting to discuss pricing and commission. Uber is not available on August 10 but is available on August 16.
“This means pricing will have to be discussed on August 16 and the rest of the issues from September 26 to 30,” said Chris Mnguni, Gauteng's e-hailing partners' council spokesperson.
Uber driver Zweli Ngwenya said the biggest issue was that Uber keeps dropping prices while petrol costs continue to rise.
“The main thing is trying to regulate prices because drivers are losing more and cars are repossessed. Depression is on another level,” Ngwenya said.
“Also, these companies should stop adding cars because the platform is crowded.”

Highlights from the Magic City Blues Fest in Billings
If I had to sum up the night- we showed up for Whiskey Myers, and we stayed for King Solomon Hicks. What a lineup at Friday night's Magic City Blues Festival.
The Magic City Blues Fest had a great lineup for Saturday as well. My wife and I were able to enjoy Friday night's lineup.
I was definitely excited to see Whiskey Myers in person. One of the things Taylor Sheridan does so well with the TV show Yellowstone is the music inside the show and on the Yellowstone soundtrack. Whiskey Myers has at least a couple songs on the soundtrack.
Whiskey Myers did a show Thursday night in Missoula, and Friday night in Billings for the Magic City Blues Festival. They played their incredible country music that you'd expect, but they also lit up the stage with some hard rock that really got the crowd going. Looks like Missoula had a great show as well.
Another band that was great to see was Shane Smith and the Saints. You'd also recognize some of their music from the TV show Yellowstone as well. If you know the line "more cowbell," this band will get you saying "more fiddle"- very impressed to see these guys in person.
My wife and I ran into King Solomon Hicks before his performance. I'd say he was the bluesy-est blues singer of the blues festival on Friday from what we got to see anyway (St. Paul & the Broken Bones was great too). It was interesting because he took the stage on the other side of the festival just as everyone was leaving to go secure the spots near the main stag before Whiskey Myers closed out the night. But a crowd quickly started filling in as more and more people were hearing the great, classic sound of King Solomon Hicks.

Reinvigorating 'lost cause' exhausted T cells could improve cancer immunotherapy
During a battle with cancer, T cells can become exhausted and are no longer able to function properly. The early phase of exhaustion can sometimes be reversed with immunotherapy drugs, but once T cells become too exhausted, it had been thought that this state was irreversible. However, new insights from University of Pittsburgh and UPMC researchers suggest that even the most fatigued T cells can be revived.

New study explores cell receptor crucial for cardiovascular health
Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of death around the world. A primary contributor to these afflictions is high blood pressure, or hypertension. While treatments exist for the condition, which affects tens of millions of Americans, these remedies are not without side effects, and some variants of the disorder are treatment-resistant. The need for more effective therapies to address hypertension-related disease is therefore acute.The illustration shows a portion of the receptor pGC-A, known as the extracellular domain, which protrudes from cell surfaces in the cardiovascular system. Small molecules bind with the receptor and exert subtle control over blood pressure. The new research offers the first sneak peek at the full-length receptor, a vital step in the development of new drugs to treat hypertension and other afflictions.

Most reliable estimates to date suggest one in eight COVID-19 patients develop long COVID symptoms
One in eight adults (12.7%) who are infected with SARS-CoV-2 experience long term symptoms due to COVID-19, suggests a large Dutch study published in The Lancet. The study provides one of the first comparisons of long-term symptoms after SARS-CoV-2 infection (often called 'long COVID') with symptoms in an uninfected population, as well as measuring symptoms in individuals both pre- and post-COVID-19 infection. The inclusion of uninfected populations enables a more accurate prediction of long-term COVID-19 symptom prevalence as well as improved identification of the core symptoms of long COVID.

Study reverses long-held ideas about relationship among diabetes, fat and cardiovascular disease
A major risk factor for diabetes, insulin resistance occurs when the cells of the body do not respond to insulin and cannot make use of the glucose (sugar) in the blood stream. The condition is known to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and atherosclerosis, a buildup of fats inside the blood vessels that can constrict blood flow to the body's tissues. The exact mechanism by which insulin and the cells lining vascular walls act upon each other has been unknown.

What the papers say
Callum Hudson-Odoi has reportedly asked Chelsea to go out on loan and there are at least two Premier League clubs ready to snap him up. The Guardian reports Leicester and Southampton are considering signing the 21-year-old, with the winger searching for more regular playing time after not even being named on the bench when the Blues opened their league campaign with a 1-0 win over Everton on Saturday.
An unexpected return to the Premier League with one of Manchester City’s rivals has been rumoured for Leroy Sane. The former City winger departed for Bayern Munich two years ago and scored seven goals in 32 Bundesliga appearances last season. The Mirror says Manchester United have made a surprise enquiry about the 26-year-old’s availability, with Sane considered a back-up if Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag fails to bring Ajax’s Antony to Old Trafford.
The Daily Mail reports United have been knocked back by Bologna after making a £7.5million bid for 33-year-old ex-West Ham and Stoke forward Marko Arnautovic.
Could Timo Werner‘s time at Stamford Bridge be coming to an end? The 26-year-old moved to Chelsea from RB Leipzig for £47.5million in 2020 but could be heading back to the Bundesliga side. The Blues and Germany forward’s former club are in advanced talks and will soon agree for him to return to Leipzig, according to the Daily Mail.
The Express and Star says Wolves have rejected a one-season loan offer from an unnamed Serie A side for Toti Gomes. The versatile defender, 23, did not appear in the league opener against Leeds but is expected to feature for the under-21s on Monday.
