The Blue Jays' depth chart has quickly become crowded with big-league outfielders.
The Scarborough Shooting Stars are headed to the 2022 Canadian Elite Basketball League championship weekend as the expansion team defeated the Saskatchewan Rattlers 108-96 on Sunday. Toronto's Kassius Robertson helped his hometown team advance to the semifinals by scoring 24 points, including the game-winning three-pointer in Elam Ending. Former Toronto Raptors guard Jalen Harris also scored 24 points for the Shooting Stars. Teddy Allen tallied 18 while Kameron Chatman added 16 from the bench. S
TORONTO — Richie Laryea wasted little time resuming his Toronto FC career. After arriving late Thursday following a seven-hour flight from England, Laryea trained in Toronto on Friday before flying to Nashville. On Saturday, he played 64 minutes in his TFC return on loan from England's Nottingham Forest — his first start for the MLS club since last November's 1-0 loss to CF Montreal in the Canadian Championship final. "A little bit of a hectic 72 hours, but I wouldn't trade it for anything," Lar
MONTREAL — It was just a few short years ago that Jaden Weekes was at IGA Stadium as a fan with dreams of one day playing on the ATP Tour circuit. On Saturday, the 17-year-old Montreal native took the next step in his tennis journey by making his National Bank Open debut — on centre court no less — as a wild-card entry in the qualifying draw. Weekes held his own against Germany's Daniel Altmaier before dropping a 6-3, 6-4 decision in one hour 27 minutes. "I mean it's surreal … it was the first t
The Niagara River Lions rode a strong second quarter performance that included a 23-0 run to grab a 99-78 victory over the visiting Guelph Nighthawks on Saturday and advance to the Canadian Elite Basketball League semifinals. EJ Onu put on a dominant performance with 28 points, three blocks and six rebounds as Niagara set the CEBL record for the most points in a post-season quarter with 36 in the second frame. The River Lions (13-7) would have been the home team in the quarter-final as the highe
This summer's World Juniors tournament feels like a forced obligation.
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Bruins are getting the gang back together, signing captain Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci — two members of their 2011 Stanley Cup championship team — to one-year deals on Monday. Almost three months after he left the ice without any certainty that he would return, Bergeron signed a one-year deal with the Bruins. A few hours later, the team announced that Krejci, who played last season in his native Czechia, will also be back in 2022-23. Bergeron got a $2.5 million dea

NASHVILLE — Two goals from a local boy and another two made in Italy. Toronto FC put on a show Saturday. Sure there were some rough spots and a nervy ending but Toronto's 4-3 win in Nashville ended a 19-game winless stretch on the road while showing its newly revamped side is headed in the right direction. "A really important win. … A lot of big positives," said coach Bob Bradley. Jonathan Osorio, a product of Brampton, Ont., scored twice and Italians Federico Bernardeschi and Lorenzo Insigne ad
TORONTO — Serena Williams' appearance at the National Bank Open in Toronto will be the final one of her career. The tennis legend said earlier Tuesday she is planning to retire from tennis sometime following the U.S. Open, which begins later this month.

"I'm turning 41 this month, and something's got to give," wrote Williams. The announcement has already set off

MUIRFIELD, Scotland (AP) — Ashleigh Buhai surged into a five-shot lead at the Women's British Open after shooting a 7-under 64 in the third round on Saturday. Now she just has to find a way to finish off for her first major victory. The South African also led this tournament in 2019 at Woburn after the second round but finished fifth, her best result at a major. Buhai is in a much stronger position at Muirfield after a round that included eight birdies before a lone bogey on the last hole, givin
Calgary Stampeders head coach Dave Dickenson was released from COVID-19 protocols Saturday after his team defeated the Ottawa Redblacks without him.

The Stampeders improved to 5-2 in the CFL's West Division with the victory. Calgary's next game is
TORONTO — Benoit Marion and the Toronto Argonauts' punt-coverage team added to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats fourth-quarter woes Saturday night. Marion returned a blocked punt 24 yards for the go-ahead touchdown to rally Toronto to a wild 34-20 home win over Hamilton. After Trevor Hoyte blocked Michael Domagala's punt, Marion picked up the loose ball and ran it in 2:37 into the fourth quarter to break a 17-17 tie. Marion's TD came moments after Boris Bede's 44-yard field goal sailed wide, thanks to a
Montreal's Felix Auger-Aliassime was a fledgling teenager when he last played at the National Bank Open in his hometown. He'll make his return to IGA Stadium as a top-10 player on the ATP Tour and a tournament headliner. "I do embrace this position and I worked to be in this position," Auger-Aliassime said Sunday. "I'd rather be where I am today than anywhere else." Ranked ninth in the world, the six-foot-four right-hander is the only seeded Canadian player at No. 6. Denis Shapovalov of Richmond
TORONTO — Serena Williams looked out at the sold-out crowd at Sobeys Stadium, searching for the fan who had just shouted "Serena, you're the best!" "Thank you. I love all of you," said Williams, with a mix of sweat and tears around her eyes, acknowledging the more than 12,500 spectators who watched her final match in Canada. Williams lost to Switzerland's Belinda Bencic 6-2, 6-4 in the second round of the National Bank Open on Wednesday. Williams, who turns 41 this September, announced her inten
NEW YORK (AP) — The New York Rangers have named defenseman Jacob Trouba captain. Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury announced the selection in a news release Tuesday morning, and the team held a news conference with Drury, Trouba and coach Gerard Gallant at the team's practice facility in Greenburgh, New York, in the afternoon. Trouba, a first-round selection by Winnipeg in the 2012 draft, was acquired from the Jets on June 17, 2019. He has totaled 20 goals and 58 assists in 189 g
The 2022 world juniors, which were halted in December over Covid concerns, restarted this week. Here's three takeaways from Canada's opener on Wednesday.
TORONTO — Quarterback Nathan Rourke and receiver Dominque Rhymes, both of the B.C. Lions, and defensive back Titus Wall of the Calgary Stampeders were named the top performers for Week 9 of the CFL season Tuesday. Rourke, a Victoria native, had a record-setting performance in leading B.C. past the Edmonton Elks 46-14. He completed 34-of-37 passes (91.2 per cent) for 477 yards and five touchdowns. His completion percentage was a CFL record while the 477 passing yards were a Canadian single-game m
MONTREAL — Wet weather kept many players in a frustrating holding pattern Monday afternoon at the National Bank Open. Defending champion Daniil Medvedev had no such issue. It's one of the perks of being the world's top-ranked men's singles player. Medvedev received a first-round bye as a top seed and likely won't play his opening match at IGA Stadium until Wednesday. "I will have two good days of practice and after I'll start the tournament," he said. "Of course, I'm very hungry for victories." | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/video/state-democrats-filed-extend-thursdays-023713747.html?src=rss | 2022-08-11T03:01:37Z | https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/video/state-democrats-filed-extend-thursdays-023713747.html?src=rss | false | 5 |
UVALDE, Texas (KXAN) — The Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District is getting an added boost in security from the state after 21 people were killed in a mass shooting at Robb Elementary in May.
Gov. Greg Abbott said the Texas Department of Public Safety will provide over 30 law enforcement officers to campuses in the district for the upcoming school year. Abbott said the superintendent, Hal Harrell, requested the personnel.
This comes after Uvalde CISD announced steps to revamp its security measures. Last month, Harrell unveiled new eight-foot fencing at one elementary school that was donated. The superintendent also said schools will have an updated camera system with expanded coverage, more screenings for entry points and added door sensors/locks.
The first day of school in the district was pushed back to Sept. 6, so more security upgrades could be added.
Uvalde CISD also announced in June students and staff would not be returning to the Robb Elementary campus where the shooting happened. There’s a plan in place to serve those students on other campuses.
In addition to state security personnel being loaned to the district, Abbott’s office said the state invested millions of dollars to help the community of Uvalde in the wake of the May 24 shooting:
- Investing an initial $5 million to establish a long-term Family Resiliency Center in Uvalde County to serve as a hub for community services, including access to critical mental health resources.
- Providing $1.25 million to Uvalde Consolidated School District for trauma-informed counseling, crisis intervention, and community outreach.
- Providing $105.5 million to enhance school safety and mental health services in Uvalde and throughout Texas. | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/texas-dps-to-provide-over-30-officers-to-uvalde-school-district-for-added-security/ | 2022-08-11T03:07:00Z | https://www.bigcountryhomepage.com/news/texas-dps-to-provide-over-30-officers-to-uvalde-school-district-for-added-security/ | true | 14 |
Four men have been indicted in the slaying of a Los Angeles drill rapper fatally shot in a Bronx pharmacy, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Isiah Garrett, Allan Algarin, Nayshon White and River Jones are accused of gunning down Avanti Frowner, 27, who rapped under the stage name Moneygang Vontae, on June 9.
One man is still being sought in the slaying.
Vontae was in the city with a friend scouting locations to film a music video when they stopped at the Amazing Community Pharmacy on E. Tremont Ave. near Arthur Ave. in Tremont to buy eye drops, cops said.
When they stepped outside, the men beat Vontae to the ground and robbed him and his friend of jewelry and cell phones before forcing them into the pharmacy at gunpoint, prosecutors said.
The Daily News Flash
Inside, the gang demanded Vontae turn over his massive nameplate gold chain and other property, cops said.
A struggle ended with Garrett, 24, shooting Vontae multiple times, prosecutors said. He was taken to St. Barnabas hospital, where he died.
“The defendants allegedly attacked two men, robbing them of money, their phones, and jewelry. One of the men, Avanti Frowner, ‘Moneygang Vontae,’ was in New York to perform, and needed medication at a pharmacy,” Bronx District Attorney Darcel Clark said in a statement. “He was shot and killed in this senseless crime.”
Jones, 18, was arrested in his dorm at Monroe College in New Rochelle, Westchester County, June 23, police sources said. Garrett was arrested about a week later. Following a misdemeanor gun possession arrest in McDuffie County, Ga., on June 29, White and Algarin were extradited back to the Bronx the same day, police said.
Garrett was charged with murder as well as manslaughter, robbery, gang assault, criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of stolen property.
Algarin, White and Jones were each hit with the lesser charges.
All four were held without bail and are due back in court Oct. 26. | https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-indictment-bronx-shooting-death-monneygang-vontae-20220811-u3q4ktk3rbetthppvt5mjk7qwy-story.html | 2022-08-11T03:09:27Z | https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/nyc-crime/ny-indictment-bronx-shooting-death-monneygang-vontae-20220811-u3q4ktk3rbetthppvt5mjk7qwy-story.html | false | 2 |

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – You don’t need to be a math teacher in North Carolina to see some things aren’t adding up.
Class is in session for some and starting in 19 days for others.
Many districts have a deficit of teachers.
“We should all be concerned because our educators are being forced out of a profession that they deeply love because the conditions to teach in North Carolina are unstainable at this time,” said Tamika Walker Kelly, president of the North Carolina Association of Educators.
The NCAE has been monitoring the open positions.
Kelly says it is tough to attract people to the Tar Heel State because states to the north and south pay more.

She added it’s more of a political problem than a district problem.
“We need a General Assembly that is willing to implement that,” she said. “The six-billion-dollar surplus that they have to actually fund the things necessary to keep teachers in the classroom.”
Until something is done in Raleigh, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools has several funding methods for permanent and substitute teachers.
“While I’m going to tell you that we need 377 teachers at this point to be fully staffed. There are teachers being put through the pipeline every day that we are pushing to schools as quickly as we can,” said Laura Francisco, associate superintendent of human resources for CMS.
The NCAE feels retention bonuses are a short-term fix, but everyone needs to advocate for educators because the children deserve better.
“It boils down to this, when our students go into the classroom, they deserve a well-compensated,” added Kelly. “Highly qualified teacher in front of that classroom, and unfortunately, many of them will walk into the classroom with a substitute educator, or they may not have a teacher at all.”

Do you wake up tired often? Here are some reasons why and how to fix it
You sleep for seven to eight hours almost every night, only to feel unrested through the morning or even most of the day. How could you be following a golden rule of sleep so right, yet feel so wrong?
This discrepancy is often due to a heightened state of sleep inertia, a circadian process that modulates memory, mood, reaction time and alertness upon waking, according to a 2015 study. Some people experience impaired performance and grogginess in this period after first turning off the alarm. The effects of sleep inertia usually go away after 15 to 60 minutes but can last for up to a few hours.
Sleep inertia impairs more sophisticated cognitive skills such as evaluative thinking, decision-making, creativity and rule usage, and gets worse the more sleep deprived a person is.
But even if your job isn't saving lives or driving a truck overnight, experiencing sleep inertia for hours can still affect your quality of life.
The way to address this begins with evaluating your sleep using the "two Qs," said pulmonary and sleep specialist Dr. Raj Dasgupta, a clinical associate professor of medicine at the University of Southern California's Keck School of Medicine. "If you're getting the good quantity sleep, the next question is, 'Am I getting good quality sleep?'"
Dasgupta suggested seeing a sleep specialist, who can check for an underlying or primary sleep disorder. But there are other more easily modifiable factors that could be interfering with the restoration and recovery processes — such as memory consolidation, hormone regulation and emotional regulation or processing — that need to happen during sleep.
1. Fatigue
"There are a lot of conditions that cause fatigue, but they don't necessarily make people feel like they're ready to fall asleep," said Jennifer Martin, a professor of medicine at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California, Los Angeles, and president of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
These can include chronic pain conditions, metabolic or thyroid conditions, anemia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
If you're feeling inexplicable fatigue, "an important first step might just be a routine physical with your family doctor," Martin said.
Additionally, the National Sleep Foundation has said healthy adults need seven to nine hours of sleep nightly, so you might need more than eight hours of sleep to feel energized. You could try going to sleep an hour earlier or waking an hour later than usual and see if that makes a difference, said Christopher Barnes, a professor of management at the University of Washington who studies the relationship between sleep and work.
2. Sedentary lifestyle
If you're sedentary, your body can get used to only having to expend low levels of energy -- so you might feel more tired than you should when trying to do basic daily activities, Martin said.
The World Health Organization has recommended that adults get at least 150 minutes (2 1/2 hours) of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity weekly, while pregnant people should do at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic and strengthening exercises per week.
3. Anxiety or depression
Having anxiety or depression can be energetically taxing, Dasgupta said. These conditions can also negatively influence the time needed to fall asleep, as well as whether (and how many times) you wake up throughout the night, he added.
And sometimes the medications used to treat depression or anxiety can have side effects such as insomnia or blocking deeper stages of sleep, Dasgupta said.
4. Inconsistent sleep
Sometimes our schedules differ on weekdays versus weekends, Barnes said. Schedules can also fluctuate for people with shift-based jobs.
"A very common practice would be to say, 'OK, well, it's Friday night. I don't have to work tomorrow morning, so I can stay up a bit later,'" Barnes said. Maybe you stay up even later Saturday night since you don't have to work Sunday either, then go to bed earlier on Sunday ahead of the work week.
But by this point, you've already adjusted your sleep schedule back by a couple of hours in a short period of time. "This is very much analogous to jet lag," Barnes said. "That rapid reset doesn't work very well."
5. Dehydration
More than 50% of your body is made of water, which is needed for multiple functions including digesting food, creating hormones and neurotransmitters, and delivering oxygen throughout your body, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Being dehydrated has been linked to decreased alertness and increased sleepiness and fatigue.
The Institute of Medicine recommends women consume 2.7 liters (91 ounces) of fluids daily, and that men have 3.7 liters (125 ounces) daily. This recommendation includes all fluids and water-rich foods such as fruits, vegetables and soups. Since the average water intake ratio of fluids to foods is around 80:20, that amounts to a daily amount of 9 cups for women and 12 ½ cups for men.
6. Poor sleep environment or routine
Having good sleep hygiene includes keeping your bedroom dark, quiet and cold at night -- and only using it for sleep and sex.
Avoid consuming caffeinated drinks less than six hours before bedtime; and limit the consumption of alcohol and heavy or spicy foods at least two hours before bed. Alcohol can prevent deeper stages of sleep, and such foods can cause digestive issues that interfere with restorative sleep.
7. Sleep partner problems
"The person (or pet) with whom you share a bed has a big impact on your sleep," Martin said.
Maybe your bed partner has a sleep disorder and snores or tosses and turns. Or maybe they have a different schedule that's disruptive to your sleep. Pets can also disrupt your sleep schedule since they don't have the same sleep patterns as humans, she added.
"The most important thing — if your bed partner snores — is to get them to see a sleep specialist and have them evaluated for sleep apnea," Martin said. Sleep apnea — a condition wherein breathing stops and restarts while someone's sleeping — is common in people who snore, she added.
8. Sleep disorders
On that note, sleep disorders are another factor that can dramatically diminish sleep quality, Barnes said.
Someone with sleep apnea might wake up 50 times, 100 times or even more throughout the night, he added.
"Once you're awake, you're no longer in the deep sleep and you don't get to usually drop immediately into the deepest sleep," Barnes said. "Bringing people out of that deep sleep by waking them up is going to generally result in less time spent in the deepest stage of sleep."
Other sleep disorders that can affect daily energy levels include narcolepsy and restless legs syndrome, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The ideal way to track sleep quality and quantity — especially if you think you could be diagnosed with a sleep disorder — is undergoing polysomnography at a sleep clinic, Barnes said.
Apps and electronic wearables — such as watches or rings — that measure sleep aren't as accurate as clinic tests, but still provide sufficient information for healthy adults, Barnes said. "I'd want to know that it was developed and then validated against another, more accurate device." | https://www.wpbf.com/article/do-you-wake-up-tired-often-here-are-some-reasons-why-and-how-to-fix-it/40858086 | 2022-08-11T03:49:48Z | https://www.wpbf.com/article/do-you-wake-up-tired-often-here-are-some-reasons-why-and-how-to-fix-it/40858086 | false | 22 |
Police: Man brandished pistol at firefighters responding to call in Virginia Beach
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (WAVY) — Police are now looking for a man they say brandished a pistol on firefighters responding to a call in Virginia Beach over the weekend.
According to police, the incident occurred on Saturday when crews from VBFD Engine 18 responded to an emergency call. The crew had lights and siren on.
While attempting to cross Indian River Road at Indian Lakes boulevard, the crew was almost struck by a gold Acura.
After the near collision, the suspect allegedly drove next to the passenger side of the fire engine and brandished a semi-auto pistol at the crew.
The VBFD crew continued onto the emergency that got canceled. The crew then saw the suspect at the Wawa on Ferrell Parkway and were able to take a picture of the suspect and his vehicle.

NORFOLK, Neb. (KCAU) — 22 Ukrainian refugees flew into Omaha, Nebraska Tuesday night on three different flights and Norfolk residents said they’re proud to give these refugees a place to call home.
When refugee Dmytri Galae arrived in Norfolk, he said community members gave the refugees a heartwarming welcome to their new home.
“We didn’t really expect this kind of welcoming that many people here together today, we were thinking we were just going to get to our place, and just unpack our suit cases, but when we see all these people waiting for us, it was really emotional for everybody,” said Galae.
Orphan Grain Train led the efforts to bring the refugees to Siouxland. Vice President Grant Schmidt said the team was met with several obstacles along the way.
“The invasion happened in February. We started back in March to figure out what Orphan Grain Train can do. We started with trying to find a way to get supplies shipped and actually found out we had to airlift them,” said Schmidt.
Schmidt said the City of Norfolk provided transportation for the refugees. Mayor Josh Moenning said the city is preparing for more refugees in the future.
“At this site, at this location, in addition to the existing structure, there will be some temporary housing structures that are placed,” said Mayor Moenning.
But for the refugees, adjusting to their new life in Siouxland will still take time.
“It’s really hard to describe right now what we’re feeling because on one hand we left our country and it’s a really big pain. On another hand, we’re here, we’re safe, our kids are safe, but it’s really hard for them to process this experience,” said Galae.
The refugees will live with a host family for 2 weeks until they finally move into their new home. | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/ukrainian-refugees-come-to-new-home-in-norfolk/ | 2022-08-11T03:59:18Z | https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/ukrainian-refugees-come-to-new-home-in-norfolk/ | false | 2 |
A controversial top aide to District Attorney George Gascón wants a Los Angeles County Civil Service Commission hearing closed to the public and her testimony sealed because she fears for her safety, according to a declaration obtained by the Southern California News Group.
Tiffiny Blacknell, who is Gascón’s chief spokesperson, says in the 17-page declaration filed last week that she faces more harassment and threats if the hearing into nepotism and favoritism complaints lodged by the Association of Deputy District Attorneys remains public.
“This harassment is tangible, imminent and could hinder me from testifying to the best of my abilities if these proceedings are not closed,” she said in the declaration.
Samuel Reyes, a hearing officer for the Civil Services Commission, denied Blacknell’s request during proceedings Wednesday, Aug. 10, saying he is not authorized to close the hearings.
Attorney Shawn Thomas who is representing the District Attorney’s Office, filed a motion last week seeking to have Civil Service Commission proceedings closed involving Blacknell and respondents Shelan Joseph, Alisa Blair, John Perroni, Nancy Theberge and Gregory Apt, who were deputy public defenders before they were hired by Gascón.
The hearings should be closed and testimony sealed to prevent disturbance by spectators and witness intimidation, the motion says.
The District Attorney’s Office did not respond to a request for comment regarding the motion. Blacknell could not immediately be reached.
During Wednesday’s hearing, Thomas accused Elizabeth J. Gibbons, an attorney representing the ADDA, of leaking a “secret declaration” to the media. However, he did not say whether that declaration was from Blacknell or another respondent.
“Again, we would renew our request to close these proceedings, because it does not seem that Ms. Gibbons, frankly, can be trusted to comply with your orders on this matter,” Thomas told Reyes.
Gibbons denied leaking a sealed declaration and said she did not discuss the matter with any journalists.
“The information exists beyond the four corners of this hearing,” she said. “It has existed beyond the four corners of this hearing for six months before this hearing ever started. I had nothing to do with the release of that information.”
The ADDA, which is the bargaining organization for nonsupervisory deputy district attorneys, has filed at least 11 appeals with the Civil Service Commission on behalf of prosecutors who were on promotion eligibility lists and passed over by Gascón in favor of hiring Blacknell and Joseph, along with Blair, who recently left the District Attorney’s Office.
At the time of their appointments, Blair, Blacknell and Joseph were not qualified to take a competitive examination to become a Grade III or IV deputy district attorney and did not have the required two years of experience at a lower employment grade, according to the ADDA
Blacknell said in her declaration that since transferring from the Public Defender’s Office to the District Attorney’s Office she has been subjected to “harassment, attempted intimidation, and threats of physical harm” by members of the public, the media and county employees.
She added that in early 2021, former Deputy District Attorney Marc Debbaudt posted pictures of her and her children on his Facebook account in an attempt to intimidate her. “I have also been referenced repeatedly by name in pieces by right-wing media outlets online, in print, in podcasts, and on the radio,” Blacknell said.
Gibbons said in a motion that the request to close the Civil Service Commission hearings is an attempt to keep secret from public scrutiny Gascón’s selection and appointment of unqualified political supporters to hold positions of “great impact and importance.”
The motion says Blacknell’s purported concerns about public safety are unsupported by facts and noted she has posted on her public social media accounts “racist invectives that speak to a violent ideation for racial relations she seems to favor.”
“She has, on her public social media, referred to police officers as barbarians, has suggested that the Los Angeles Police Department is an “occupying army,” and has expressed the sentiment that the racial strife that claws at our society should be resolved by violence,” the motion states.
Information was not immediately available regarding when Blacknell will testify during the ongoing commission hearings.

Why Novavax Stock Got Mashed on Monday
What happened
Novavax (NASDAQ: NVAX) , an up-and-down coronavirus stock, had a down day on Monday. The vaccine specialist's share price took a 5% hit after the company reported earnings that fell short of expectations.
So what
For its second quarter, Novavax earned just under $186 million in total revenue, which was well under the more than $298 million in the same period last year. Although the company recorded over $55 million in product sales compared to $0 in the year-ago frame, the amount in grants it received fell by more than 60% to less than $108 million.
That reduced revenue figure, combined with steeper costs, plunged the company more deeply into the red on the bottom line. Novavax booked a net loss in excess of $510 million ($6.53 per share) against the second quarter 2021 shortfall of $352 million.
With those numbers, Novavax missed wide on analyst estimates. Prognosticators following the stock were, on average, expecting a far higher revenue number ($1.02 billion). They also believed the company would post a narrower net loss of $5.50 per share.
Now what
Compounding that, Novavax also missed on the revenue guidance it proffered for the entirety of 2022.
The company wrote that it expects a top-line number of $2.0 billion to $2.3 billion for the year, which incorporates sales of the Nuvaxovid coronavirus vaccine that recently garnered emergency use authorization (EUA) from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), grants, and royalties, among other items. However, analysts collectively were modeling nearly $4.3 billion in revenue for the period.

Weather, material shortages cause delays for Liberty Lake construction projects
Aug. 10, 2022 Updated Wed., Aug. 10, 2022 at 10:38 a.m.
It’s all too easy for construction projects to run into challenges, and that has certainly been the case in Liberty Lake this summer. Material shortages have waylaid the new freeway overpass, hot weather prevented the use of the golf course parking lot and the reconstruction of Kramer Parkway has struggled.
Kramer Parkway was closed between Sprague Avenue and Country Vista Drive several weeks ago so the road could be partially reconstructed.
“We did run into some problems with unsuitable materials and then we had some issues with the water line,” said Lisa Key, director of planning and engineering.
The road was in poor condition and there were also issues with water under the roadway, Key said.
“If we had not done this partial reconstruction this year, we would have had to completely rebuild the roadway,” she said. “This was a time-sensitive project.”
Having the road completely closed impacted some nearby residents and the city attempted to accommodate them by setting up a detour on property owned by the Central Valley School District. There’s a gated, private emergency access road that runs from Kramer Parkway to North Henry Lane, a north-south access road on school district property. The access road is only 20 feet wide and isn’t meant to support a lot of traffic, Key said.
The road was posted with speed and weight limits and was not supposed to be used by construction vehicles.
“Apparently, no one was following either of those,” Key said. “It’s not a roadway. It’s not designed for that heavy construction equipment. We had staff members who were flagging and directing construction traffic to avoid that and they ignored the staff member and went through anyway.”
Summer school classes were also being held at Ridgeline High School and there was a close call with a pedestrian, Key said. The detour route was shut down due to safety concerns.
Kramer Parkway is expected to be completed in early September. Part of it has already been paved and additional paving days are scheduled for Tuesday and Sept. 2.
“We should be opening by the time school opens,” Key said.
The long-anticipated Kramer bridge over Interstate 90, however, has been stalled for much of the summer. The project includes the extension of Kramer Parkway north of Country Vista Drive over the freeway to connect with Mission Avenue. When complete, it will add a key north-south route over the freeway.
“It will reduce the pressure on Barker Road and Harvard Road,” Key said.
The arrival of the mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls didn’t happen in February as planned.
“They’re almost Lego-looking walls that you put the earth and fill behind to build up the ramps,” she said. “They were delayed and delayed and delayed. Then we got parts and pieces and they weren’t even in the right order.”
The overpass ramps have to be built before the bridge girders can be put into place, which effectively stalled the whole project. The MSE panels have just arrived, however, and work is now moving forward.
“They’re working diligently and the walls are going up,” she said.
On the north end of the project, a new roundabout was just completed at Mission Avenue where the extension of Kramer Parkway will connect. Mission Avenue is still closed as Greenstone Home completes an upgrade in the same area, making it wider and adding a sidewalk on the south side of the road and a multiuse path on the north side. The road is expected to open the first week of September, Key said.
The Kramer Road extension and overpass, originally scheduled to be complete this fall, is now estimated to be complete in the spring .
A recent heat wave also slowed improvements at the city-owned Trailhead Golf Course. The city is in the first phase of an expansion and reconstruction project, which includes redoing the parking lot and making it larger. The city planned to shut down the parking lot for one day, Aug. 1, for paving. The high temperatures meant that it didn’t get cool enough overnight for the asphalt to cure and the parking lot couldn’t be reopened, forcing golfers to park elsewhere and walk to the course. As of Tuesday, the parking lot was still closed with reopening tentatively scheduled for Friday

Its retail mortgage balances rose slightly to £8.13bn against the six months ending 31 December 2021, which closed the period with a balance of £8.03bn.
The mutual helped 1,936 first-time buyers purchase a home and since launching its mortgage and originations platform in March last year, has processed more than £2.5bn in applications through the system. It said this meant applications could be processed faster.
Net retail mortgage lending amounted to £99.3m, compared to £24.7m in June 2020.
Principality said it was committed to supporting its customers through the cost-of-living crisis and commended itself for passing just a quarter of the one per cent rise to the base rate on to variable rate mortgage borrowers. Despite this, its net interest margin widened from 1.14 per cent to 1.32 per cent.
The lender saw its profit before tax fall from £33.1m to £31m.
It said previous profits had been impacted by releases of impairment provisions for loan losses, however the current period was more consistent with the six months to 31 December 2021. For the first half of 2022, Principality held £17.6m in impairment provisions, broadly flat on the £17.8m it held in the six months to December 2021. This was down, however, on the £25m it held in the first half of 2021. The lender released £200,000 in impairment provisions compared to a release of £9.1m during the same period last year.
It said: “The group takes a conservative approach to lending and has robust affordability, credit quality and underwriting standards. The performance of the group’s loan portfolios continues to be strong with low levels of arrears, while rising house prices have led to lower potential losses.”
Some 0.51 per cent of its retail mortgage book is in arrears greater than three months.
Julie-Ann Haines (pictured), CEO at Principality Building Society, said: “Our financial performance was strong in the first six months, with £99m net growth in our mortgage book as we helped almost 2,000 first-time buyers get a home.
“So, members can be assured we have a strong balance sheet and profitability to reinvest in the business for their benefit, to help us create better homes for members, help members to financially secure their futures, as well as trying to create a fairer society for our communities.” | https://www.mortgagesolutions.co.uk/news/2022/08/10/principality-bs-sees-gross-mortgage-lending-hit-728m-in-h1/ | 2022-08-11T04:17:12Z | https://www.mortgagesolutions.co.uk/news/2022/08/10/principality-bs-sees-gross-mortgage-lending-hit-728m-in-h1/ | true | 1 |
The Right Was Blamed for the Murder of 4 Muslim Men in New Mexico - Then the Suspect's Identity Was Revealed
This week a story about the murders of several Muslim men broke that was immediately blamed on Islamophobia and white supremacy, but once the facts finally came out it completely upended the left’s narrative of finger-pointing and blame.
Since November, several Muslim men have been murdered in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and after the third, officials began worrying that the town had been best by a serial killer of Muslims, according to the New York Times.
After a fourth man turned up dead, President Joe Biden jumped into the mix to call the murders “hateful attacks” that “have no place in America.”
I am angered and saddened by the horrific killings of four Muslim men in Albuquerque. While we await a full investigation, my prayers are with the victims’ families, and my Administration stands strongly with the Muslim community.
These hateful attacks have no place in America.
— President Biden (@POTUS) August 7, 2022
Clearly, Biden was stoking the flames of “racist attackers” who he claimed were attacking Muslim men. And his adoring public caught that cue and ran with it.
All these acts of Islamophobic right-wing terrorism are caused by demonising of Muslims created by politicians scapegoating Muslims and attacks in the media, film and TV. 3/4
— MEND Community (@mendcommunity) August 7, 2022
Muslims, particularly Pakistani Muslims, are being targeted for assassination in New Mexico.
The perpetrator is most likely a white supremacist but would not be surprised if we learn he/she is a Hindu nationalist.

Islamaphobia—like all toxic fear—thrives in times of darkness and lawlessness. We stand with the Muslim community in demanding a full investigation of the killings of 4 Muslim men in 9 months in Albuquerque, New Mexico and greater protection for targeted communities. #StopHate https://t.co/mI4XyNOdfP
— Janai Nelson (@JNelsonLDF) August 7, 2022
Muhammad Afzaal Hussain was a pillar in the UNM community and an incredible force for good.
I’m very concerned by law enforcement reports that his murder may be linked to two other murders of Muslim men in Albuquerque. Racist, hate-fueled violence has no place in New Mexico.
— Martin Heinrich (@MartinHeinrich) August 5, 2022
But this week, more news broke about these murders. It turns out that the man authorities think is responsible for these murders is another Muslim.
The alleged killer, the Albuquerque police said, is a Sunni Muslim who may have become incensed that his daughter married outside his faith.
Police have named Muhammad Syed, a 51-year-old Albuquerque resident, as the perpetrator the Daily Mail reported.
Syed is an immigrant from Afghanistan and his victims were Afghan and Pakistani immigrants.
Reuters even seemed to take a poke at those accusing white supremacists for the murders.
“After days bolstering security around Albuquerque-area mosques, seeking to allay fears of a shooter driven by anti-Muslim hate, police said on Tuesday they had arrested 51-year-old Muhammad Syed, one among the city’s Islamic immigrant community,” Reuters reported when authorities unveiled their suspect.
Deputy Commander Kyle Hartsock of the Albuquerque Police Department told reporters that religion may have played a part in the murders. “But we’re not really clear if that was the actual motive, or if it was part of a motive, or if there is just a bigger picture that we’re missing,” he said to reporters’ questions.
Arrested – Albuquerque Police arrest Muhammad Syed, 51, in connection with the murder of 4 other Muslim men.
According to one resident in the community, the execution style murders might be a Sunni Muslim vs. Shia crime.
We are heartbroken this has happened on American soil. pic.twitter.com/GrBY2etEFf
— StopAntisemitism (@StopAntisemites) August 9, 2022
Prosecutors added that Syed was charged with the homicides of Aftab Hussein, 41, and Muhammed Afzaal Hussain, 27, who were killed on July 26 and Aug. 1.
The charges were leveled after a police investigation found evidence in his home linking Syed to the crimes. It appears that more charges will be forthcoming.
These murders are a terrible crime, no matter who does it, granted. But once again, we see that the left uses every incident under the sun to push its political agenda and refusing to wait for facts.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — There's been more pushback from UNC Charlotte students. The university ran out of on-campus housing options and is placing some students off campus in hotels and apartments. WCNC Charlotte learned a few accommodations are Sonesta Select and the Holiday Inn near the university.
Those two hotels are over a mile away from the campus.
PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Students say UNC Charlotte is out of dorm space
Fizza Ibrahim is going to be a sophomore at UNC Charlotte and said she'll be going the extra mile this year. She's not talking about her studies.
“They couldn’t find us a spot on campus which is ridiculous," Ibrahim said.
She and many others will be put up in off-campus hotels.
"It's over a mile away," Ibrahim said. "I don't have a car. I'm panicked and pissed."
WCNC Charlotte previously reported the university ran out of on-campus dorms. With just a few weeks before move-in, Ibrahim said she's left with reservations. The first one is buses running to and from campus.
“The ones on-campus run until two a.m. because there are students studying," Ibrahim said.
UNC Charlotte spokesperson Buffie Stephens said buses will run from the hotels to campus on weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on weekends from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Ibrahim said the classic college cram sessions would have to be cut short. If she chose to stay on campus past the last ride, the walk back to the hotel isn't the easiest. Much of the walk is on the side of a busy road without sidewalks.
The university added it is committed to providing all students with a safe, supportive and positive experience.
WCNC Charlotte walked the path from the hotels to the edge of campus and it took reporter Austin Walker just over 21 minutes.

Cornwall council members make plans, study about future development of the borough
Cornwall Borough Council heard a presentation from landscape architect Karla Farrell, of Karla Schweitzer Farrell and Associates, of York, on the planned process to create a recreation master plan for Cornwall.
The study and plan will focus primarily on the Miners Village recreation area, with 27.5 acres, the Rexmont Goosetown recreation area, with 13.5 acres, and the Snitz Creek Park, with 4.5 acres, as well as an adjoining 14 acres to the park owned by the Cornwall-Lebanon School District. The study will attempt to determine how land areas, the natural environment, and existing facilities can be enhanced and made more functional.
Farrell's firm, contracted by the council, will first study existing conditions of borough recreation areas, then create a steering committee comprised of local residents, do a site analysis and opportunities plan, hold a public meeting, develop two or three alternative plans for each recreation area, and then hold a final meeting to receive comments from the public.
Farrell said the process is expected to take six months and the cost will be $69,840. Councilman Bruce Conrad said the fee will be paid using borough park and recreation funds. He explained the funds are accumulated from fees land developers pay to the borough per each building lot they develop.
If the council approves the final recreation plan, it will submit it with an application to the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for a grant to fund recommended recreation improvements.
Warehouse plans prompt need for committee
Much of the well-attended July 11 council meeting was dedicated to addressing the plan revealed by Cornwall Properties to build a huge warehouse on land north of Route 322 and a short distance from Iron Valley Estates. It was decided by the majority of the council to appoint an ad hoc committee to mediate between the interests of the residents of Cornwall and the developer's desire to carry out his plan.
Councilmen Bruce Conrad and John Karinch, planning commission chairman Ray Fratini, Wesley Bensing, Rob Anspach, David Tshudy and Nelson Zimmerman have been chosen to serve on that ad hoc committee.
Cornwall warehouse plans:Residents express concerns about proposed 800,000-square-foot warehouse plans
Also on the issue:Warehouse, residential development plans being reviewed by Cornwall Planning Commission
Other matters from the meeting
Borough manager Cody Rhoads reported that Steckbeck Engineering and Surveying, engineering consultant to the borough, has been analyzing if the township would be justified in increasing the recreation fee charged to developers. The borough currently receives a fee of $1,250 per lot. By law, the council may not just increase the fee on a whim, it must have justification.
Council president Bruce Harris announced the committee chosen to review and update the borough's comprehensive plan and said the plan is a blueprint for the borough's future. It will address services, land use, traffic and facilities. The committee will make its recommendations for an updated version to the council and planning commission. Greg Roussey, Bob Peterson, Mark Dutchess, Dale Waltman and Ron Lauderman will serve as members.
Community service:The South 6th Street basketball courts got a new life. Now, organizers want to do more
A committee was also chosen to design a new process for borough residents to report violations of the zoning ordinance and track those complaints so that they are handled promptly. Stan Alekna, Cathy Jackson, Jay Furlong, and councilman John Karinch will take on that assignment.
The council passed an ordinance that changes the zoning on a 5.197-acre piece of land north of Ironmaster Road and along the Lebanon Valley Rail Trail from "planned development" to "residential institutional." The land is owned by Cornwall Associates LP. | https://www.ldnews.com/story/news/local/2022/08/10/cornwall-officials-make-plans-about-future-development-of-borough/65395598007/ | 2022-08-11T04:41:08Z | https://www.ldnews.com/story/news/local/2022/08/10/cornwall-officials-make-plans-about-future-development-of-borough/65395598007/ | false | 1 |

Gen. Mark Milley's Insanely Arrogant 4-Paragraph Resignation Letter to Trump Is Released
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley was appointed by former President Donald Trump in 2019 and remains in office under President Joe Biden.
In a recently published excerpt from her forthcoming book, “The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021,” New Yorker writer Susan Glasser recounts Milley’s service during the Trump administration.
Glasser portrays Milley as a dedicated military officer with a strong set of values who loathed his unstable and temperamental boss. But despite his commander in chief’s “fits of rage, late-night Twitter storms” and “abrupt dismissals,” Milley was determined not to resign for the good of his country. So altruistic.
There was that one time, however, when Milley was so utterly humiliated by Trump that he spent days in his Pentagon office, writing and rewriting a letter of resignation.
The occasion came during the June 2020 George Floyd riots. Members of Black Lives Matter had tried, but fortunately failed, to burn down St. John’s Church in Washington, D.C.’s Lafayette Square. Trump, accompanied by several advisers and Cabinet members, famously walked to the church and was photographed as he held up a Bible. Milley was among that group.
The legacy media claimed that a crowd of BLM protesters had been “violently” cleared from Lafayette Square by the U.S. Park Police for the sole purpose of this photo-op. One year later, the inspector general of the Interior Department released a report stating that the USPP had cleared the park to allow fencing to be installed “in response to destruction of property and injury to officers.”
In her new book, of course, Glasser tells readers, “Most of the demonstrations had been peaceful, but there were also eruptions of looting, street violence, and arson, including a small fire in St. John’s Church, across from the White House.”
Anyway, because members of the military are expected to remain apolitical and he had participated in a “political event,” Milley was filled with remorse.
During a pre-recorded commencement address to the graduating class of the National Defense University, Milley apologized. He said, “I should never have been there.”
“As senior leaders, everything you do will be closely watched, and I am not immune, as many of you saw the result of that photograph of me at Lafayette Square last week,” he told the graduates.
“I should not have been there. My presence in that moment and in that environment created a perception of the military involved in domestic politics. As a commissioned, uniformed officer, it was a mistake that I have learned from and I sincerely hope we all can learn from it.”
Upon additional reflection, Milley penned his letter of resignation, which is included in Glasser’s excerpt.
It is a boastful, four-paragraph letter written by a disgruntled subordinate with little sense of self-awareness. He tells the president he’s done some “deep soul-searching” and “can no longer faithfully support and execute your orders.”
“It is my belief that you were doing great and irreparable harm to my country,” he begins. “I believe that you have made a concerted effort over time to politicize the United States military. I thought that I could change that. I’ve come to the realization that I cannot, and I need to step aside and let someone else try to do that.”
Milley continues, “You are using the military to create fear in the minds of the people — and we are trying to protect the American people. I cannot stand idly by and participate in that attack, verbally or otherwise, on the American people.
“The American people trust their military and they trust us to protect them against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and our military will do just that. We will not turn our back on the American people.”
“I swore an oath to the Constitution of the United States and embodied within that Constitution is the idea that says that all men and women are created equal,” Milley writes. He expands upon his own acceptance of all people no matter their race, religion or sexual orientation, then moves on to his patriotism. The implication is, of course, that Trump is racist, bigoted and doesn’t love America.
“Lastly it is my deeply held belief that you’re ruining the international order, and causing significant damage to our country overseas, that was fought for so hard by the Greatest Generation that they instituted in 1945. Between 1914 and 1945, 150 million people were slaughtered in the conduct of war. They were slaughtered because of tyrannies and dictatorships.
“That generation, like every generation, has fought against that, has fought against fascism, has fought against Nazism, has fought against extremism. It’s now obvious to me that you don’t understand that world order.
“You don’t understand what the war was all about. In fact, you subscribe to many of the principles that we fought against. And I cannot be a party to that. It is with deep regret that I hereby submit my letter of resignation.”
Is he calling Trump a fascist? A Nazi? Sounds like it. If Milley thinks Trump damaged America’s reputation, we have to wonder how he feels about Biden’s blunders.
Unfortunately, he never submitted the letter to Trump.
Glasser writes, “Milley had finally come to a decision. He would not quit. ‘F*** that s***,’ he told his staff. ‘I’ll just fight him.’ The challenge, as he saw it, was to stop Trump from doing any more damage.”
Trump would have been better off if this coward had resigned. Among other allegations, Milley reportedly told his Chinese counterpart he would alert him if Trump were to plan any surprise attacks.
“Gen. Milley needs to be called in TODAY and asked under polygraph what he said to China.”
Sen. @RandPaul tells me why he believes Milley’s alleged actions could have “caused an accidental war.” pic.twitter.com/81YadLJbbv
— Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) September 15, 2021
I would remind Milley of a certain oath he took a long time ago. He solemnly swore to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same.
The BLM riots in the summer of 2020 were not peaceful. They were responsible for over $1 billion in property damage. They caused injury and even deaths. It’s one thing to oppose racism and quite another to excuse crime in our cities.
Either you’re for the rule of law and against terrorism, or you’re not.
Standing up for the rule of law and against terrorism isn’t politics, Gen. Milley. It’s your job.

DYERSVILLE, IA (WTVO/WQRF)– Major League Baseball’s first field of dreams game last year was so successful, it needed to hold a second act. That second one comes tomorrow night when the Cubs and Reds will go at it in Dyersville.
The cornfields are calling again. It is time to play ball in Iowa. Last year it was the White Sox and the Yankees who went at it in the inauural game. What drama it was.
The Sox led 7-4 going into the ninth inning. The Yankees answered in the ninth with home runs by Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton to take the lead 8-7. But in the bottom of the ninth, Tim Anderson hit a walk-off two-run home run in front of the nation giving the White Sox a 9-8 win.
This game is going to have a hard time living up to that one. Afterall, neither the Cubs nor the Reds are even in the playoff race, but the one thing these two teams do bring to this event is a sense of history. They’re two of the oldest franchises in Major League Baseball. Both have been going strong since well before Shoeless Joe Jackson ever put on a uniform.
The magic of this Iowa acreage, and the feel-good movie that made it special should be more than enough to carry this game. The players are pumped to be a part of it, even though most of them weren’t even born yet when the movie first hit theaters 33 years ago.
“Incredible to be a part of that,” said Cubs shortstop Nico Hoerner. “It seemed like watching the game last year the players seemed like they just had a lot of fun.”
“I think embracing everything that’s going to happen that day and just the moment that we get to be a part of,” said Cubs third baseman Patrick Wisdom.
“I think it’s really cool just for what the movie means to people and baseball in general,” said Cubs’ outfielder Ian Happ.
The two-year old stadium the Cubs and Reds will play in seats 8,000 people. A pathway through a cornfield connects it to the movie field. We’ll see plenty of each Thursday night from all camera angles, probably no ghost players though, but mostly likely some balls disappearing into the cornstalks.

The pregame coverage will begin at 5 p.m. The game will begin at 6:15 p.m. | https://www.mystateline.com/sports/mlb/the-cornfields-are-calling-cubs-and-reds-make-their-way-to-iowa/ | 2022-08-11T05:04:01Z | https://www.mystateline.com/sports/mlb/the-cornfields-are-calling-cubs-and-reds-make-their-way-to-iowa/ | true | 1 |
He has asked farmers to remain united and be ready for a movement, if they wanted to protect their lives and land.
Talking to reporters, Tikait accused the government of not fulfilling its poll promise of providing free electricity to farmers besides addressing the issue of rising power tariff and erratic supply in villages.
Tikait addressed the first 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan' panchayat in Bitawda village in Muzaffarnagar's Budhana earlier this week and said that he would be addressing a series of similar panchayats in the region in the coming days.
Tikait also raised questions over the Agnipath scheme for recruitment in defence services.
The BKU leader alleged that the BJP government had exploited farmers and also raised the issue of non-payment of cane dues by sugar mills.
"The mills are not making payment of dues, which has worsened the financial condition of farmers," said Tikait, who threatened to dump sugarcane at the office of district magistrates in the coming crushing season.
Tikait said farmers, poor and labourers were going through a tough time. "They have multiple problems, which need to be addressed but the government is ignorant towards them," he added.

Some Justice Department officials believe the department should provide a public statement about the unprecedented search of former President Donald Trump's home and club in Florida, a view that so far hasn't changed the silence from the top.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has tightly limited the Justice Department's public statements about investigations, particularly the sprawling January 6 criminal probe and especially anything having to do with the former president.
The FBI search Monday at Trump's Mar-a-Lago property, tied to a criminal investigation into the handling of classified information, was partly engineered to avoid a spectacle, according to people briefed on the matter. Agents appeared around 10 a.m. ET in plainclothes, not in the early-morning hours and wearing the FBI logo jackets commonly seen at searches. Trump was in New York at the time.
It became public when Trump issued a public statement near the end of the hours-long search, portraying it as a "siege."
Garland has repeatedly addressed why he says so little about the ongoing investigations, citing not only the department's general policy not to comment but also as part of a strategy to protect the investigation by not letting potential targets know what the department is doing. He also has cited the importance of protecting the rights of people not yet charged with crimes so as to avoid them being tried in the public sphere before the Justice Department brings a case.
Some Justice and FBI officials, though, have argued internally that the silence is harmful to the department's and the public's interest, in part because Trump and allies have filled the void.
On Wednesday, the department avoided questions about the Trump search by issuing a recorded video statement on a major criminal case, charging an Iranian military official with trying to assassinate John Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser.
The video statement from Matt Olsen, assistant attorney general for National Security, and Larissa Knapp, executive assistant director for the FBI's national security branch, was unusual.
Such a high-profile case would normally be the subject of an attorney general press conference. But having a press conference this week likely would be dominated by questions about Mar-a-Lago.
It isn't unusual for the FBI and US attorneys to issue public statements on search warrants, at a minimum confirming that investigators were carrying out court-authorized searches when their presence is plainly seen by members of the public or caught on camera.
Recently, they did so after the public noticed an FBI search of the home of Texas Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar, and after former Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark went public to complain about his home being searched.
In this instance, the only comment has come from the FBI agents' association, which obliquely defended the conduct of agents without making reference to the Mar a Lago search.
"FBI Special Agents perform their investigative duties with integrity and professionalism, and remain focused on complying with the law and the Constitution," Brian O'Hare, president of the FBI Agents Association, said. "As a part of this process, all search warrants executed by Special Agents are issued by federal District Court or magistrate judges, must satisfy detailed and clear procedural rules, and are the product of collaboration and consultation with relevant Department of Justice attorneys."
FBI Director Chris Wray in Omaha on Wednesday was asked about Trump's accusation that the agency could have planted evidence in the search and about threats against agents.
"I'm sure you can appreciate that's not something that I can talk about so I'd refer you to the department," said Wray, a 2018 appointee of Trump.
"As to the issue of threats, I will say that I am always concerned about violence and threats of violence against law enforcement, he said. "Any threats made against law enforcement, inducing the men and women of the FBI, as with any law enforcement agency, are deplorable and dangerous.

‘He was very good at looking after people’
By Richard Allen
TREVOR RONALD BURGESS December 26, 1916-June 7, 2022
When Trevor Burgess died in his sleep in Melbourne on June 7 aged 105, he was not Victoria’s oldest man, but he wasn’t far off.
Trevor was for five years the oldest member of the Melbourne Cricket Club and was a minor celebrity in the streets and shops of Yarraville, Bulleen and Kooyong – where he lived for much of his life. Chinese people would regularly stop him in the street and touch him for good luck. Trevor was a life member of the Yarraville Club, which he joined in 1940.
Trevor’s great age and good health led to periodic misunderstandings. Aged 101, he tried to rent a car when his car went for repairs, and the rent-a-car company’s computer system couldn’t make sense of his age. The manager had to manually change it and personally authorise the rental (which he did). Two years later, when Trevor went to hospital for a blood transfusion, the hospital’s computer system insisted he must be three years old, not 103.
Trevor Burgess was born in Tasmania in 1916, as World War I raged in Europe. It was the year of the Gallipoli campaign and the battles of the Somme and Fromelles. Woodrow Wilson was the US president, the British Sopwith Camel made its maiden flight and cars were in their infancy.
Immediately following the war, during the Depression, Trevor’s family – father Basil, mother Ida and their seven children – left Tasmania and settled at Wagara, 10 kilometres from Orbost, in eastern Victoria. Their home was a wooden hut with bark sheeting and clay floors. Trevor and his brothers and sisters attended the local school while their father took work where he could get it. The family later moved to Moe and then to Gould on the Tyers River.
From an early age, Trevor had a keen appreciation of right and wrong, once fighting a local kid who had harassed his brother. “It was a real bare-knuckle stoush and eventually he gave up,” Trevor recalled. The kid, Jack O’Toole, would later win more than 120 wood-chopping titles, including 26 world championships.
Trevor left school aged 14 to join his father working to support the family. They chopped wood in the forests of Gippsland, cutting railway sleepers with broad axes – mainly ironbark and redgum – for which they received three shillings a sleeper. They worked on the slopes of Mount Baw Baw, north of Moe, before the 1939 bushfires decimated the Victorian alps. They left the house on a Monday morning, walked 10 miles to the site, worked for five days – camping at night – and walked home at the week’s end.
The family moved to Erica and Moondarra, as well as Nowa Nowa near Lakes Entrance. Trevor worked in the coal mines at Yallourn and drove trucks at Mildura.
During World War II, Trevor joined the RAAF, training as a cylinder and ignition systems specialist in Sale, and after the war learnt carpentry at the Footscray Institute of Technology. In 1940 he met Edna Lloyd at a dance at the Trocadero in Barkly Street, Footscray. Despite thinking he was a bit of a larrikin, they married the following year and enjoyed 72 years together, producing three sons – Tony, Kim and Fabian.
Trevor’s love of both the bush and wood led him to his next job – supervising a mill to harvest the mighty trees, mainly mountain ash, that had died in the 1939 fires. He built houses in Footscray, Ivanhoe and Bulleen, and worked on several others.
He then worked for 24 years at Jennings Industries, the home builder, running its mills to produce timber for its home-building operations. For several years he was managing director of Jennings’ milling operations in Tasmania and was heavily involved in developing a company program to look after sick and injured employees.
In the early 1960s, Trevor became chairman of the Mansfield section of the Victorian Forestry Industry Association, building logging roads near the Howqua and Jamieson rivers near Mansfield with local identity Jack Lovick. One day they were surprised to see Prince Charles hiking along the river during his stint at nearby Timbertop school.
Trevor later bought a plot at Sawmill Settlement, at the base of Mount Buller, and holidayed there with his family for more than 30 years, chopping wood, extending the house and fishing for trout in the nearby Delatite River.
When Trevor retired, he continued to fish, and took to lawn bowls and making stained-glass windows – producing hundreds of the latter for his children’s houses and various clubs, including the Auburn Heights Bowls Club in Kew. Later, aged 90, he learnt bridge.
Trevor was a passionate Footscray supporter, witnessing the club’s two grand final wins, in 1954 and 2016, at his beloved Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Trevor was extremely proud of his three sons: Tony, a biochemist who in 1998 received a Companion of the Order of Australia for his work in cancer research; Kim, who studied biochemistry before becoming a long-haul pilot at Qantas; and Fabian, a respected ophthalmologist.
Tony Burgess says: “Although my father did not finish secondary school, he and my mother understood the importance of education and they worked hard to make sure we received a good education. He always set an example of honesty and fairness, then let us explore the world. He never interfered or tried to push us in any direction. He was a quiet man who had total respect for, and the respect of, his employees. He was very good at looking after people.”
Richard Allen is a friend of the Burgess family. | https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/he-was-very-good-at-looking-after-people-20220811-p5b93f.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_national | 2022-08-11T05:08:35Z | https://www.theage.com.au/national/victoria/he-was-very-good-at-looking-after-people-20220811-p5b93f.html?ref=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=rss_national | true | 9 |

Players of the Pine Belt: Bay Springs senior right tackle James Wilson
BAY SPRINGS, Miss. (WDAM) - James Wilson has a simple, but honest answer for why he loves playing football at Bay Springs.”
“Getting down and dirty,” Wilson said.
It’s also a reason why he’s one of Dan Brady’s favorite players to coach.
“He’s just got that ‘it’ factor I guess you would say,” Brady said. “He can be pushed. I know I can get after James’ tail and just get the best out of James. That’s what makes him fun to coach.”
The right tackle of course just one piece of the Bulldogs’ ground assault last season – rushing for over 3,600 yards en route to the school’s first state championship.
Wilson has a simple explanation for his role, too.
“Open up the hole and let ‘em through,” Wilson said. “That’s all I gotta do. One hard step.”
Of course, there’s much more to it than that – the energy he brings every snap, not to mention his size.
Wilson shot up to 6-foot-5 so fast, coach Corey Mackey tried his best to recruit him to the basketball court.
“His body started to fill out,” Brady said. “That’s what I tell every guy that comes by here. Don’t judge him by what he is now. You get him on campus one year, 240′s going to turn into 270 and then all of a sudden you got a monster of a man playing for you.”
Coach Brady’s glad to have that beast around for one more season.
Bay Springs returns all five interior linemen – whom Brady calls “Earth-movers.”
And with two of the top running backs back – Ty Jones and Malaki Page – the Bulldogs believe they can make another run at a state title.
“Being in high school for almost four years and getting to play your last year, it’s just exciting,” Wilson said. “As a team, we’re ready to do it again.”
“During spring training I just felt like some complacency had crept in,” Brady said. “And the kids were kind of just saying to themselves, ‘We won a state championship.’ We kind of had a reset there and changed it. Ended up having a great spring, had a great summer. The thing I’ve always loved about these kids and it will always be the same here – the work ethic. That mentality of just getting after it every day, overcoming any obstacle that gets in their way. That’s what’s going to make us good and you wrap a bunch of great athletes around that, we’re going to be a hard team to beat.”
Here’s a look at Bay Springs’ 2022 schedule:
- 8/26 – at Raleigh – 7:30 p.m.
- 9/2 – at Philadelphia – 7:30 p.m.
- 9/9 – vs. Heidelberg – 7:30 p.m.

Taiwan rejects China's 'one country, two systems' plan for the island
Taiwan rejects the “one country, two systems” model proposed by Beijing in a white paper published this week, the self-ruled island's foreign ministry said on Thursday.
Only Taiwan's people can decide its future, ministry spokeswoman Joanne Ou told a news conference in Taipei, the capital.

China was using U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to Taipei as an “excuse to create a new normality to intimidate Taiwan's people,” Ou added.

An institutional “culture of callousness” led Los Angeles County deputies and firefighters to shoot and share photos of the remains of Kobe Bryant and other victims of the 2020 helicopter crash that killed the Lakers star, his 13-year-old daughter, and seven others, a lawyer for Bryant's widow told a jury Wednesday.
Vanessa Bryant's attorney Luis Li told jurors in his opening statement in U.S. District Court in her invasion of privacy trial against the county that the cell-phone photos shot at the crash scene by a deputy and a fire captain were “visual gossip" viewed “for a laugh," and had no official purpose.
“They were shared by deputies playing video games,” Li said. “They were shared repeatedly with people who had absolutely no reason to receive them."
An attorney for the county defended the taking of the photos as an essential tool for first-responders seeking to share information when they thought they might still save lives at the chaotic, dangerous and hard-to-reach crash scene in the Calabasas hills west of Los Angeles
“Site photography is essential,” county lawyer J. Mira Hashmall said.
Vanessa Bryant cried frequently during her lawyer's presentation. She was still wiping tears from her eyes minutes afterward during a break.
Li told jurors that learning a month after the crash about the photos' circulation not from the county but the Los Angeles Times compounded her still-raw suffering.
U.S. & World
“January 26th, 2020, was the worst day of Vanessa Bryant’s life. The county made it much worse," Li said. “They poured salt in an open wound and rubbed it in.”
Li played jurors security video of an off-duty sheriff's deputy drinking at a bar showing the photos to the bartender, who shakes his head in dismay. The lawyer then showed an image of the men laughing together later. Li described firefighters looking at the phone photos two weeks later at an awards banquet, and showed the jury an animated chart documenting their spread to nearly 30 people.
Li said the county failed to conduct a thorough investigation to make sure every copy of the photo was accounted for, and because of the fear that they will someday surface, and her surviving children may see them online, Vanessa Bryant "will be haunted by what they did forever.”
During the defense's opening statement, Hashmall told jurors that the fact that the pictures have not appeared in more than two years showed that leaders in the sheriff's and fire department did their jobs.
“They're not online. They're not in the media. They've never even been seen by the plaintiffs themselves," Hashmall said. She added, “That is not an accident. That is a function of how diligent they were.”
Sheriff Alex Villanueva and department officials immediately brought in all those involved and ordered them to delete the photos, rather than conduct a long official investigation that might harm the families further, she said.
“He picked what he viewed as the only option — decisive action,” Hashmall said. “He felt like every second mattered.”
Hashmall told the jury that the reason Li even had the video of the bartender to show, which she suggested was deceptively edited to show the men laughing together, was because the Sheriff's Department had gotten it the same day they received a complaint from another bar patron who witnessed the photo sharing.
She said the deputy was struggling emotionally from the difficulty of dealing with the crash scene, and that the bartender was a longtime friend in whom he was confiding.
“He pulled out his phone, and that should not have happened,” she said. “In a lapse, in a moment of weakness, he showed those photos, and he has regretted it every day of his life.”
The defense attorney urged jurors to look past the grief of those who brought the lawsuit and focus on the matter before them.
“There is no doubt these families have suffered,” she said. “It's unspeakable. But this case is not about the loss from the crash. It's about the pictures.”
Chris Chester, whose wife, Sara, and daughter Payton were also killed in the crash, is also a plaintiff in the lawsuit, which seeks unspecified millions.
The county already agreed to pay $2.5 million to settle a similar case brought by two families whose relatives died in the Jan. 26, 2020, crash. Bryant and Chester declined to settle.
Kobe Bryant, his 13-year-od daughter Gianna, and other parents and players were flying to a girls basketball tournament when their chartered helicopter crashed in the fog. Federal safety officials blamed pilot error for the wreck. | https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/national-international/photos-of-kobe-bryants-remains-shared-for-a-laugh-lawyer-says/2974564/ | 2022-08-11T05:14:49Z | https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/national-international/photos-of-kobe-bryants-remains-shared-for-a-laugh-lawyer-says/2974564/ | true | 32 |
Elderly woman dies; body found outside 8 days later
BOYD COUNTY, Ky. (WSAZ) - A trip to the backyard ended in tragedy when an elderly woman’s badly decomposed body was discovered after lying outside for several days.
Roy and Pat Patrick have lived in their Kentucky neighborhood for more than 40 years. They had grown to look out for a fellow neighbor down the road, an elderly woman who lived alone, exchanging waves and emails.
But one day, the Patricks told WSAZ they noticed something out of the ordinary.
“Buzzards were circling, and it’s not uncommon for a deer to die and the buzzards take care of them. I didn’t think too much about it until we saw two of them perched on her roof. I told Pat, ‘Something’s wrong,’” Roy Patrick said.
Their neighbor’s body was found in her backyard. According to the Boyd County coroner, it had been there for eight days. When she was found, her body was badly decomposed from a combination of intense heat and humidity and being preyed upon by animals.
The coroner says it appears the woman died of natural causes, but they’re waiting on autopsy reports.
“We’ll miss her,” Roy Patrick said.
He and his wife say following this incident, it’s a reminder of how important it is to check on your neighbors.
“Especially the ones who live alone, and she lived there alone. I said we should pay more attention to neighbors and family,” Pat Patrick said.
The body has been sent to the state medical examiner’s office for an autopsy.

AeroClean Technologies Inc. shares were recently down 20% at $5.82, following a 60% jump on Tuesday after the company received a patent for an air treatment system and method.
The stock skyrocketed in June after the Food and Drug Administration granted 510(k) clearance to the Purgo air-purification technology, classifying it as a Class II Medical Device.
The Purgo device uses germicidal UV-C LED air purification technology. The company has said it is "proven to eliminate 99.99% of harmful airborne microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi and viruses, like Covid-19."
On Wednesday, AeroClean said independent testing showed that Purgo is effective at reducing the viral concentration of the Omicron variant.

South Cariboo residents had the chance to bend the ear of Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Frank Caputo recently, when he dropped into 100 Mile House for a constituency visit. The riding also includes Clinton and Loon Lake.
The biggest issues, he said, weren’t much different from the rest of the province. Local crime, cost of living, inflation, and affordable housing were top of mind among those he met during his time at Hot July Nights Sunday and in 100 Mile House and Forest Grove.
“It’s important I get out to be seen, but also see what’s happening, and to listen and meet people and hear their questions and concerns,” said Caputo.
Local crime, especially what he calls the “catch-and-release system”, has been on Caputo’s radar since he was elected. A former prosecutor, Caputo tabled Private Members Bill C-274 earlier this year. It aims to “reform the way we look at bail” for chronic offenders, he said, noting that the bill would ensure a judge presumes a person will be detained unless they show an “exceptional case”.
”This is aimed at really a small group of people,” he said, noting that a small number of chronic offenders are responsible for keeping police busy.
Caputo said he is also willing to support a petition in the House if residents wanted to pull one together. A petition requires 500 signatures online but only 25 on paper.
However, he acknowledged these measures aren’t expected to be a cure-all, noting crime was a result of many factors at play, such as drug addiction, health care, and a lack of housing. This means it will take a multi-faceted approach, involving municipalities and the provincial government as well.
This is particularly important when it comes to addressing housing, Caputo noted. He said the federal government must work with both the province and municipalities to streamline approvals and incentivize more supply, especially in urban centres, to take the pressure from rural areas.
“What happens in larger centres impacts the rural areas,” he said, noting many people are selling their homes in the Lower Mainland to move to rural areas like the South Cariboo. “You have to solve the problems in larger centres and then you will solve them nationally.”
He added he believes government should also reduce spending and try to give consumers a break at the gas pumps, either by suspending the carbon tax or the GST.
“We’ve got hundreds of billions of dollars in debt and deficit. Can you say you’re better off now?” he asked. “Maybe we need to start spending differently.”

4.4-magnitude earthquake rattles parts of California, geologists say
A 4.4-magnitude earthquake shook near the California-Nevada border by Walker on Monday, Aug., 8 the U.S. Geological Survey reported.
The 3-mile deep quake hit 5 miles northeast of Walker at 1:44 p.m. Pacific time, according to the USGS.
More than 200 people from as far away as San Francisco and Auberry had reported feeling the tremor to the agency as of 3 p.m. Aug. 8.
Walker is a city about 55 miles southeast of Lake Tahoe with a population of more than 400 people.
Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake, the U.S. Geological Survey says. It replaces the old Richter scale.
Quakes between 2.5 and 5.4 magnitude are often felt but rarely cause much damage, according to Michigan Tech. Quakes below 2.5 magnitude are seldom felt by most people. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2698042486143/4-4-magnitude-earthquake-rattles-parts-of-california-geologists-say | 2022-08-11T05:28:23Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2698042486143/4-4-magnitude-earthquake-rattles-parts-of-california-geologists-say | true | null |

SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Three Indian soldiers and two suspected militants were killed Thursday after rebels stormed a military camp in disputed Kashmir, officials said.
At least two assailants armed with guns and grenades attacked the camp in the remote Darhal area of southern Rajouri district early Thursday, said Mukesh Singh, a senior police officer.
The soldiers responded to the attack, triggering a gunbattle that lasted for at least three hours, Singh said.
A reinforcement of soldiers and counterinsurgency police encircled the camp as the fighting raged inside, officials said.
In addition to the five deaths, two soldiers were injured in the fighting, Singh said.
There was no independent confirmation of the incident.
On Wednesday, police said government forces killed three rebels in Budgam district during a counterinsurgency operation.
India and Pakistan claim the divided territory of Kashmir in its entirety.
Rebels in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir have been fighting New Delhi’s rule since 1989. Most Muslim Kashmiris support the rebel goal of uniting the territory, either under Pakistani rule or as an independent country.
India insists the Kashmir militancy is Pakistan-sponsored terrorism. Pakistan denies the charge, and most Kashmiris consider it a legitimate freedom struggle. Tens of thousands of civilians, rebels and government forces have been killed in the conflict. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Police-say-rebels-storm-India-army-camp-in-17366059.php | 2022-08-11T05:32:15Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Police-say-rebels-storm-India-army-camp-in-17366059.php | false | 37 |

- MLS defeats Liga MX for second time in as many tries
- Goals from Mexican star Vela and former Liga MX star Ruidiaz
- American/Canadian soccer continues hot streak against Mexico
WHAT HAPPENED? Mexican star Carlos Vela needed just three minutes to open the scoring while former Liga MX star and current Seattle Sounders striker Raul Ruidiaz adding another from the spot in the 73rd minute. A Kevin Alvarez stunner brought Liga MX back into the match, but couldn't find that second goal.
THE BIGGER PICTURE: American soccer currently finds itself in a hot streak against Liga MX. In addition to winning both All-Star Games against Liga MX, MLS clubs have won the CONCACAF Champions League and Campeones Cup, while the U.S. men's national team has claimed both the Gold Cup, CONCACAF Nations League and, at the youth level, the CONCACAF U-20 Championship. Canadian soccer, meanwhile, is also on the up, having qualified for the World Cup while finishing atop the Hexagonal.
ALL EYES ON: Of course it was Vela! The LAFC star, who has long had a tenuous relationship with those in charge of soccer in his home country, started the match with a bang. It was another reminder of Vela's quality, not that anyone who follows the league needed such a reminder.
THE MATCH IN THREE PHOTOS:
DID YOU KNOW? With his appearance as an All-Star, Jesus Ferreira follows in the footsteps of his father, David, making the two the first ever father and son to be named MLS All-Stars.

Republicans are chalking up successes all over the country daily, and Democrats are not doing anything substantive to stop them. They complain about Republicans, and when they are with their friends, they talk about how terrible things are, but it is clear that they don’t understand the true nature of the challenge they face.
And that is why Republicans have the electoral advantage going into the 2022 elections and will probably take back the White House in 2024, with or without Donald Trump.
Republicans have brought a Kulturkampf, a culture battle/struggle, to the country. Trump made this a central feature of his presidency, which has been embraced by the entire Republican Party. But the Democrats just don’t get it.
The Kulturkampf is presented by Republicans as a struggle between two images of America: one of pride and one of shame. When Trump talked about making America great again, he was telling his supporters that he wanted them to feel good about their country, to regain the sense of pride that he and others claim had been stolen from them. He sensed quite rightly that many Americans were tired of being told there was something wrong with their country and a lot wrong with them.
President Barack Obama was the last straw. What he presented in his speeches here and overseas as a “reckoning with history,” Republicans and a growing number of Americans saw as an “apology tour,” and they found it infuriating. They didn’t want to feel they should be ashamed of their country or themselves.
Republicans long for a past that never really existed, except perhaps on some 1950s television shows that did not reflect the realities of life then. They imagine that life was better then, less complicated. They think that men were men and women were women. People were honest and proud of their country and of themselves.
The television shows of the 1950s celebrated White, middle-class, Christian families where there were no problems that could not be solved by a pipe-smoking “Father Knows Best.” It was a false, artificial world even at the time. In the 1950s, we had the bloody Korean War, McCarthyism, rampant antisemitism, ubiquitous racism, pervasive sexism, and homosexuals and transgender people who were frightened to admit who they were.
Despite all this, Democrats have continued in the tradition of Obama. They believe they are confronting evils in the country to help make it better. But what Republicans hear is quite different. They hear that they are being told that they are all racists, sexists and homophobes. If they deny they are racists, they are told they are guilty of “White privilege.” If they deny they are sexists, they are told they are guilty of “male privilege.” If they feel uncomfortable about transgender bathrooms, they are told they are bigots.
And Democrats have compounded the problem by focusing on the trivial. They have spent too much time scolding people for using the wrong pronouns and inciting micro-aggressions. So, from the perspective of Republicans, Democrats have everyone walking on eggshells, afraid to talk for fear of being scolded for their use of language.
Friedrich Nietzsche said “psychology is once again the path to the fundamental problems.” He was wrong about many things, but he was right about this. Today’s America is dealing with a psychological dilemma, and people are divided into opposing camps along the lines of feelings more than ideology. We have two seriously divergent psychological states from which we are being asked to choose: pride or shame. Given this choice, most will choose pride.
And a growing number of Republicans are willing to embrace authoritarianism in the name of this elusive feeling. Democrats never intended to make people feel ashamed of their country or themselves, but this is what has happened.
The question for Democrats is this: can they find a way to address the weaknesses of America, its history of racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry, without simply making people feel bad about themselves? Can they find a way to present this critical perspective of America and Americans in a positive light?
Democrats need leaders who can, like Ronald Reagan, combine a commitment to dealing with serious issues with optimism about the future and not sound like they are constantly scolding people. If they are unable to do this, Democrats will fail on a grand scale and the country will continue on its current path.

The chief of South Korea's housing developer has offered to resign, becoming the first previous-government appointed head of a major state-run company who has expressed intent to step down since the Yoon Suk-yeol administration took office in May.
Last week, Chief Executive Officer Kim Hyun-jun of Korea Land and Housing Corp. (LH) expressed his intention to step down to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, an official of the company said.
Kim reportedly said it is time for the Yoon government to find the right person to help push forward its first housing policy set to be announced next week.
Kim was chosen for the post under the previous liberal Moon Jae-in government, with his three-year term set to end in April 2024.
Heads appointed by the previous government are under pressure to voluntarily leave office despite their remaining terms as the Yoon government and the ruling People Power Party underline the need to ensure the stable operation of state affairs.
His resignation comes after some LH officials were criticized for playing golf during a recent business trip and LH employees' illegal purchases of undeveloped land near Seoul using undisclosed information, which sparked public outrage earlier last year.
In the latest developments involving the LH property scandal, the Board of Audit and Inspection (BAI) in July filed a complaint with the police against eight LH employees who allegedly used insider information for speculative property purchases.
The move comes more than a year after a local civic group asked BAI to open an investigation into rumors that some LH employees purchased properties near major development sites before the project was made public.
In addition to the complaint, BAI also demanded LH take disciplinary measures, such as dismissal, against some of the suspected employees. (Yonhap) | https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20220811000318 | 2022-08-11T05:55:22Z | https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20220811000318 | false | 3 |
East San Jose's Tully Night Market back for a 2nd summer of festivities
SAN JOSE, Calif. - For the second year in a row, people in East San Jose are coming out to support a night marketplace just off Tully Road. The weekly event was created by San Jose City Council member Maya Esparza to support local artists and vendors.
The night market started last month and City Council member Maya Esparza says having live music, food and small business owners in one place is a win for the entire community.
The Tully Night Market started last summer and it was so popular, that it’s back again this summer every Wednesday night.
"I always say it’s bringing that downtown experience. We’ve learned from downtown but we’re giving it some Eastside flavor," said Maya Esparza, San Jose City Council member for District 7.
And flavor is definitely a part of what brings people back each week.
"Right now I just ordered some hot dogs from the food truck right here so I’m about to check it out to see if it’s any good or not," said Adrian Macaraeg, who lives in San Jose.

Road Dogs food truck says they heard about the night market and for the first time, decided to participate.
"A lot of people like the Kamikaze Dog because it’s different. They like the Cheesy Bacon Dog because it’s like a normal street dog. But yeah, pretty good feedback," said Sophia Labucay, who works for Road Dogs Food Truck.
The Tully Night Market also features live music, a beer and wine garden and a play area for kids. About 20 vendors sell everything from t-shirts, trinkets, jewelry, hand-made items and things even your pet can appreciate like dog shades.

"So KayKos Dogs was actually born here in East San Jose. So when we found out that there was a night market, we wanted to actually let people know that this product that they can start seeing in stores was actually made here," said David Escalante, owner of KayKos Dog Shades.
"All of my customers are really nice. It’s kind of just, more chill. It’s not so wild. Some of the events I’ve done, there’s like thousands of people. This one is nice and calm and they always have good live music," said Jodi Mascarenas, owner of Jodi 408 custom jewelry.
Council member Esparza says the goal is to bring the community together for a night of fun. The Tully Night Market will be on Tully Road in East San Jose every Wednesday night from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., until October 26.

The push to give cities in Oregon more leverage to decarbonize buildings got defanged in the Legislature this year. Instead, the bill got a do-over. It created a task force to look at ways to decarbonize buildings.
If opponents of Senate Bill 1518 thought they won a victory, it seems they won a delay. The task force has a list of policy options it is getting ready for the 2023 Legislature that are even more wide-ranging. Maybe legislators won’t take action on all of them. But watching the options the task force is considering could be like looking into a crystal ball to see Oregon’s energy future. That’s especially true if Democrats continue to control the Legislature and the governor’s office after November.
Electrify. Electrify. Electrify.
That’s a consistent theme. Natural gas for heat, for cooking? Yes there are voices on the task force who keep bringing up how natural gas should continue to play a role. Maybe we are wrong, but those voices sure don’t seem to reflect the majority view. The task force wants renewable electricity to be king.
We could hear it Tuesday in the discussion about a possible new mission for the Energy Trust of Oregon. The discussion was to change its mission. The Energy Trust gets its money from customers of the big utilities and uses it to stoke energy efficiency. It is now fuel neutral. Electricity and natural gas are both OK. The proposal is to change its purpose to greenhouse gas reduction and equity. Oregon’s natural gas companies may not appreciate that.
We could hear the call for the electricity focus in the discussion of electric heat pumps. Heat pumps can heat and cool. They do what they do very efficiently. Task force members talked about ways to encourage more people to install them — incentives on top of any new federal incentives or existing incentives.
There was even a discussion about the state bypassing the choices consumers or builders make for appliances in new homes and going to manufacturers and distributors. The thinking is incentives or rules could guide manufacturers and distributors to offer only options powered by electricity and that are high-efficiency. Then no “wrong” choices would be made.
Another topic came up is to follow California’s lead on requiring appliances to be “smart.” Smart in this context is that appliances can schedule their use when there is less electricity demand. So maybe your car charger or dishwasher kicks itself on at 1 a.m. That could help spread out the energy demand over the day and reduce the need for peak electric capacity.

Legendary ‘mermaid’ resurfaces in all her glory
Annette Kellerman, champion swimmer, star of stage and screen, remorseless self-publicist and gleeful breaker of rules, was an Australian global superstar.
The subject of a new production in a Sydney pool, Kellerman overcame rickets as a child to tour the world publicising her talents in stage shows, mobile swimming tanks, underwater ballet films, cross-channel marathons and bold near-naked displays onscreen.
But she is perhaps most famous for eschewing the cumbersome female woollen bathing dresses of the 1900s for a fitted knee-length one-piece suit. Her appearance at a Boston beach in 1907 sparked an alleged arrest and international uproar. Kellerman gave not a toss.
“I want to swim,” she said, in response. “And I can’t swim wearing more stuff than you hang on a clothesline.”
The world’s first “aqua queen” is now being celebrated in Marrickville Mermaid, a theatre song cycle written by Hilary Bell. Starring Christa Hughes, it is being staged at the inner west pool named after Kellerman, the Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre.
Bell says she and musical collaborator Luke Styles were struck by Kellerman’s talent for inventive self-promotion more than a century ago.
“She understood branding, creating publicity and using the media to promote her own story and career,” Bell says. “They’re now so much part of our culture but were very new at the time.
“It’s possible she went to Revere Beach in Boston deliberately and strolled along in the revealing bathing suit she’d invented.”
Raised in Marrickville, Kellerman’s 10 Hollywood movies, in which she did all her own stunts, broke box office records, prompting Esther Williams’s portrayal of her in 1952 Hollywood biopic Million Dollar Mermaid. In 1912, Harvard professor Dudley Sargent declared her the “most perfect woman of modern times”.
Kellerman’s lifelong message was promoting the benefits of fitness for modern women.
“Swimming for women is more than physical,” she said in 1915. “It can engender self-confidence and, in the art and science of swimming, a kind of equality, even superiority, to that of men.”
She did not, however, call herself a feminist.
“She advocated that women exercise and look fantastic so they could keep their husbands,” Bell says. “Her independence, career, the choices she made, they were unheard of at the time. She was the proto-feminist but refused to call herself one.”
Hughes, who sings Bell and Styles’ songs in and around the aquatic centre’s main pool, is proud to play Kellerman.
“She’s a true, fearless role model,” she says. “Her drive and ambition was frowned upon for women. But she swam marathons and jumped off cliffs and lighthouses rather than just pouting.”
After decades as an international superstar, diving from 18-metre cliffs with bound hands and legs for film roles, tap-dancing, wire-walking, playing the accordion and inventing a monocled drag act for her vaudeville shows, Kellerman returned to Australia to live in Queensland. She died in 1975 aged 89 in modest circumstances.
“She did a lot to marry the Australian identity with being sporty and plucky and giving the finger to the class system,” Bell says. “I don’t think she knew fear.”

Narali Purnima 2022: Narali Purnima is an important festival celebrated majorly by Hindus in the western coastal regions of India. According to the Hindu Calender, it is observed on Purnima Tithi in the month of Shravana and it is also known as Shravana Narali Purnima. This year, Narali Purnima is being celebrated today, Thursday 11th August, 2022.
Narali Purnima is observed with great zeal and fervor in Maharashtra and adjoining Konkani regions. The fisherman community celebrate this festival to show the gratitude towards Deity Varuna. The word 'Narali' is derived from Nariyal, 'Coconut' and 'Purnima' signifies the 'full moon day' and this day has a great significance among the people who belong to fishermen community.
On the day of Narali Purnima, Hindu devotees worship Deity Varuna. The people who are living on the Western Ghats, they believe that their life is only based on sea. Fishermen decorate their boats and bring them to the shore of the sea. Fishermen offer prayers to the Deity Varuna by offering coconut and seek blessings.
They offer coconut to the deity as they considered it a symbol of Shiva because of the three eyes of the coconut and offering coconut to deity is the most popular way to seek blessings and show gratitude towards the deity. It is believed that people who follow the rituals with full dedication and devotion on Shravana Purnima, they can please the Deity and seek his protection from all dangers.
After completing the puja rituals, fishermen sail in the sea, in their fully decorated boats. After making a short trip, they spend their whole day near sea, dancing and singing form is the main attraction of this festival.

‘Deeply sorry’: Minister apologises for system failing Defence and veterans
Veterans Minister Matt Keogh has apologised for the failings in Defence and the compensation system that have contributed to suicide rates and promised to respond speedily to royal commission recommendations.
The interim report from the royal commission into Defence and veteran suicides, which was released on Thursday, said a slow and complex compensation claim process could harm people’s mental health and may contribute to suicidality.
Commissioners Nick Kaldas, James Douglas, QC, and Dr Peggy Brown also found many of the problems were well known – there have been 50 inquiries making 750 recommendations since 2000 – but few have been acted on.
Keogh said on Thursday it was vital these now be addressed as a priority.
“Clearly, something’s not working in Defence and Veterans Affairs,” he said, acknowledging the reasons were diverse.
“If there have been failings in the way in which Defence has operated, failings in the way in which the Department of Veterans Affairs has operated, I’m deeply sorry about that.
“To people who have felt that they have not got the treatment that they deserve, I apologise for that.”
The minister did not give a formal response to the report’s 13 recommendations, but said it was his view the government should get on with implementing them as quickly as possible.
The commissioners said there was “a compelling case” for a permanent body to be established by the time the commission ends in mid-2024 to keep track of implementation progress. They will make a special report next year on what this should look like.
Research has found there are much higher rates of suicide among ex-service personnel than in the general population. But the commission’s report says current data does not give the full picture and there are key gaps.
Census data revealed for the first time there are more than 581,000 Australians who are either veterans or currently serving in the ADF. Approximately 6000 people leave the ADF each year.
In June, the Department of Veterans Affairs had almost 62,400 claims on hand but was yet to assign 41,800 of them to be examined. The wait time on claims has also grown significantly over the past five years, with the median processing time more than 300 days in some cases.
Commission chair Nick Kaldas said the backlog was unacceptable.
The 13 recommendations include several about sufficiently resourcing DVA to clear the backlog of claims and make sure it doesn’t build up again. It also says the laws around veteran compensation and rehabilitation should be simplified by mid-2024.
The report says while change would not be easy, “the difficulties of reform provide no justification to delay any further”.
Keogh said the government had already lifted a staffing cap, meaning the department could transfer temporary contractors to permanent positions, and begun work to recruit the 500 more staff promised during the election.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, who was previously Defence minister, said the problem had been building up over decades.
“The way our country provides support to our veterans should be a source of national pride, not shame. I want to make sure we can support the government in every reasonable step they take,” he said.
Department head Liz Cosson told the commission the department had sought extra funding over the years but the money given to it in the budget hadn’t kept up with the volume of work.
Former veterans minister Andrew Gee, a National MP, also told the commission that despite the limited staffing for claims processing, he was made to cut $430 million from the department’s budget.
If you are a current or former ADF member, or a relative, and need counselling or support, contact the Defence All-Hours Support Line on 1800 628 036 or Open Arms on 1800 011 046.

Which insulated dog house is best?
Insulated dog houses provide the same benefits as regular dog houses, such as a shady place to stay and the protective feeling of being in a den, with the addition of temperature moderation. They are a must for dogs living in the hottest or coldest climates. But you still have to consider the usual dog house factors such as their size.
The best insulated dog house is the Lemberi Insulated Dog House. It can be used inside or out, and the thermostatic plastic regulates its temperature in any climate.
What to know before you buy an insulated dog house
Insulated dog house types
Insulated dog houses are designed for either indoor or outdoor use, though some can be used in either situation.
- Indoor insulated dog houses are closer to dog beds than dog crates. Their insulation is made of essentially nothing but soft, naturally warm materials like fleece. These are rarely safe for use outside as they won’t last long. Some can be collapsed for use as a safe traveling space.
- Outdoor insulated dog houses are designed to keep your dog both warmer in the cold and cooler in the summer. How they’re insulated varies. For example, some use multi-layered walls and floors, while others may use heavy-duty foam construction. You can often use an outdoor house indoors, though these may be too large to fit inside comfortably.
Size
Insulated dog houses come in as many sizes as there are breeds of dogs. OK, maybe not that many sizes, but you have a guarantee of finding a perfectly sized house if you look long enough.
Many houses come in small, medium and large sizes and typically match breeds in those size classifications. That said, you still need to double-check the exact measurements as one small-sized house is likely a different size than another.
The best size will be one where your dog has just enough space to lay down in with its legs fully extended and just enough height to stand fully upright. Dogs find comfort in being in tight, den-like spaces, so don’t get anything larger than this unless you’re trying to fit multiple dogs at once.
What to look for in a quality insulated dog house
Roof
For outdoor dog houses, a slanted roof is a must to make sure precipitation slides off and away. Otherwise, it can pool and quickly ruin the house.
For indoor dog houses, make sure the roof is stable and secure. Many indoor dog houses are mostly made of soft materials with little support, so roofs can occasionally sag. This can be annoying for your dog at best and dangerous at worst.
Design
Your dog house is going to be a major fixture of your home for potentially years. On top of making sure it’s comfortable for your dog, you may want to consider how it will look next to your couch or out on your lawn.
How much you can expect to spend on an insulated dog house
Depending on size and quality, insulated dog houses can cost as little as $30 or as much as $300-plus. Small-sized houses shouldn’t cost more than $150, while medium-sized houses shouldn’t cost more than $250. The biggest houses rarely cost less than $100 and can easily cost triple that or more.
Insulated dog house FAQ
Can dogs stay outside permanently with an insulated dog house?
A. Even if your dog house is built like the Taj Mahal and your dog is smart enough to control a heating and cooling system, you shouldn’t leave a dog outside forever. Dogs are pack animals and can start to feel anxious and alone if kept away from their pack. And you’re their pack. Dog houses should never be used as more than temporary shelter.
How long should a dog house last?
A. That depends on what material it’s made of, how well it’s made and what it’s subjected to. Flimsy indoor dog houses may not last longer than a year or two, while well-made and -maintained wooden houses can last for a decade or more. Plastic houses are somewhat in the middle and usually last around five years.
What’s the best insulated dog house to buy?
Top insulated dog house
What you need to know: This is the perfect all-around dog house, whether it’s inside or out.
What you’ll love: It comes with ground nails to keep it in place outside in harsh weather, and its elevated floor prevents water from seeping in. A ventilation system ensures that air doesn’t become stale. It comes in small, medium and large, and the roof comes in three colors.
What you should consider: Stronger, more active dogs may be able to move it if used indoors. You need a screwdriver to complete the assembly.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Top insulated dog house for the money
What you need to know: It’s hard to find a warmer and cozier house for small dogs.
What you’ll love: The front can be removed to make a larger opening, and the top can be collapsed to turn it into a bed. It comes with a two-sided pillow, with one side plush for warmth and the other fabric for cooling.
What you should consider: It’s a little flimsy. The top can sag, and anxious dogs may be able to tear it up. A few customers received different colors than they ordered.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon
Worth checking out
Pets Imperial Norfolk XL Insulated Dog Kennel
What you need to know: Big dogs who love the outdoors can hardly do better than this house.
What you’ll love: The floor can hold up to 150 pounds and be removed for easy cleaning. The roof can be opened and locked into place for extra airflow. The insulation uses three materials in as many layers to stay hot or cool in opposing weather.
What you should consider: It’s among the most expensive houses. A few purchasers received damaged pieces. Despite being “extra large,” it isn’t big enough for breeds much bigger than a Labrador.
Where to buy: Sold by Amazon and Wayfair

Are Dahlias Perennials That Can Survive Winter? The Answer Depends on Your Climate
No wonder many dahlia growers find themselves asking, "are dahlias perennials or annuals?" Dahlias often bloom with the exuberance of favorite annual plants like zinnias and marigolds. From mid-summer until frost, they'll unfurl flowers ranging from tiny, petal-packed, button-like blossoms to blooms that are bigger than a dinner plate. However, these plants grow from bulb-like tubers that can survive winters like perennial plants do. To ensure your dahlias come back next year, you may have to help them, depending on your growing zone. Here's what you need to know to successfully overwinter dahlia tubers to enjoy them year after year.

Country diary: The garden is alive with insects, despite the heatwave
Early morning in my garden and the catmint path is already noisy with bumblebees. They hurry from one open-lipped mauve tube to another, their wings back-lit silver by the new day’s light. Sprigs of catmint bend under the weight of the bees before bouncing up again. The hazy billowing plants on either side of the gravel path have met down the middle; they brush against my legs as I walk, making insects fly up all around me.

Grasses procure key soil nutrients for clovers
Rhizobial nitrogen fixation in legumes provides spillover benefits to neighbouring plants such as pasture grasses. Generally, it is understood to be unidirectional between plant functional groups, providing a benefit from legumes to grasses. We question whether bidirectional complementarity also exists in terms of exploiting the wider soil nutrient pool. We test this hypothesis using soil cores with their component vegetation assemblages sampled from a hill country pasture in South Island, New Zealand. The soil was deficient in key essential elements: P, S, B, Mo and Ni. Facilitation from grasses to clovers was evident; legume"“grass mixtures procured more nutrients from the soil than when either species was growing alone. When grasses and clover grow together in unfertilized grassland, more nitrogen is procured by the plant community, and other limiting plant nutrients in the soil are better exploited. Coexistence with grasses is favourable to clovers in terms of soil biogeochemistry.

Dan Burn admits it will be strange heading back to the Amex Stadium and walking past the home changing room as he prepares to play as an opposition player.
But the Geordie defender has spoken of his gratitude to Brighton & Hove Albion after they handed him his big chance in the Premier League when signing him on a free transfer from Wigan. The 6ft 7in player then earned his dream move to Newcastle United last January as the Magpies paid £13million for his services.
When asked his emotions ahead of the return to Brighton, Burn told Chronicle Live: "I'm looking forward to it! It'll be strange but I am looking forward to it as I did not get the chance to say goodbye to the fans properly.
"A lot of staff I also didn't get to see because it happened so quickly. It will be a tough game and we know we have only won one match so we need to kick on and put in another performance."
And Burn insisted he will always feel indebted to Brighton for giving him the chance to play top level football.
Burn reflected: "Hugely (indebted). They took a chance to take me to the Premier League at the time. All the staff and the manager there, I wouldn't be where I am without them. So it will be nice to go back and see people."
Brighton caused a shock on the opening weekend of the season with a 2-1 win at Manchester United, setting up a tricky assignment against Graham Potter's Albion on Saturday.
Burn added: "It's always tough at Brighton. They are very good and showed that last season and by winning at Man United last Sunday. We will prepare properly just like we did for Forest and I am sure we will have a game plan."
Newcastle could not have asked for a better start to the season with a 2-0 win over Forest at St James' Park in front of a full house. Burn got the nod ahead of £34million defender Sven Botman and was one of the star performers of the afternoon.
Burn said: "It was good and exactly what we wanted. We worked hard in pre-season knowing that we wanted to start the game with a lot of intensity.
"I thought we dominated the game and it was one of those days where we had a lot of ball. But we couldn't score until Fabby popped up with a worldie.
"Our whole thing at the moment is 'intensity is our identity' that's what the gaffer has drilled into us. Everything we want to do, feed off the fans and start well - and not let teams press us and stuff."

Los Angeles, California. Luis Arraez, San Felipe, Venezuela, is in his 4th season with the Minnesota Twins. He owns a career .318 BA and is leading the American League in batting at .329 with 120 hits going into tonights game with the Dodgers. Arraes’ nickname is “La Regadera” (The Sprinkler), because he sprays hits all over the field. He is a 2022 All Star and has been used primarily as the Twins first baseman and DH.
Really good players sometimes are overlooked when they play in smaller cities, this is one of those times. Maybe he can be the one who can lead his team over this monster of the West Dodger team. Arraez did his part as he lead off the game with a double and hit an opposite field single on a shift, (Why are the Dodgers shifting on him?) And scored on a 3 run 405 foot bomb into the second deck in right field by Jorge Polanco, San Pedro de Macoris, Dominican Republic.
Dodger starter, Ryan Pepoit, who was just called up today, lasted 4.1 innings with a line of 5 hits, 4 runs and 2 home-runs. Pepoit got pa-pounded. But so what. Down 4-2 the Dodgers got 2 in the fifth to tie it at 4-4 and went ahead on a Chris Taylor home run in the 6th. Then Joey Gallo put the game out of reach in the 7th with a 3 run 399 foot blast to the left field pavilion. Lost was a solo homer by a suddenly hot Max Muncy who has been hitting the ball hard.
La Regadera was not enough to cool down this hot LA club, despite going 3 for 4 with a walk and 2 doubles. The Dodgers have now won 10 straight and are showing no weaknesses. They are less than 3 weeks away from a showdown with the Mets in NY which should be a preview of the NLCS.

Man charged over killing Muslim men in U.S. New Mexico
By Trend
A 51-year-old man was detained and charged for murdering at least two of four Muslim men who were killed in separate ambush shootings in the past nine months in Albuquerque, the largest city of south western U.S. state of New Mexico, authorities said, Trend reports citing Xinhua.
Muhammad Syed, 51, was identified as the "primary suspect in the recent murders of Muslim men," Albuquerque police said Tuesday.
Syed was charged with murdering Aftab Hussein on July 26, and Muhammad Afzaal Hussain on Aug. 1. Detectives connected the two cases using bullet casings found at the two scenes, according to a CBS News report.
Authorities believe the suspect may eventually be charged in the other two murders of Naeem Hussain on Aug. 5 and Mohammed Zaher Ahmadi on Nov. 7, said the report.
The suspect appears to have known his victims, police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation said.
It remains unclear the specific motive for the killings.
The police have "tracked down the vehicle believed to be involved in a recent murder of a Muslim man in Albuquerque," the city's police chief Harold Medina tweeted on Tuesday. "The driver was detained and he is our primary suspect for the murders."
Four Muslim men were killed in ambush shootings in the city since November and three of them were shot dead in 10 days, drawing national and international attention.
Albuquerque is on pace for another record-setting year of homicides, according to local media reports.

According to flood conservator Kasi Visveswararao, the water level at Sir Arthur Cotton Barrage in Dowleswaram is likely to go up to the first flood warning level in the next 24 hours.
The water level at the barrage touched 10.20 feet and may reach 11.75 feet by Wednesday. First flood warning will be issued once the water level crosses 11.75 feet at the barrage.The discharge of flood water from the barrage is 7.50 lakh cusecs. With the first warning issued at Bhadrachalam dam, the Godavari is in spate. District authorities in ASR, Eluru, East Godavari and West Godavari districts sounded high alert and asked the officers concerned to safeguard the flood banks.
Velerupadu, Kukkunuru and Polavaram in Eluru district, Chintur, Yetapaka, Kunavaram, VR Puram and Devipatnam in ASR district, more than 50 island villages in East and West Godavari districts were hit by Godavari floods in July. Nearly 200 villages were affected by the July floods.
In some habitations, relief operations have been continuing and power supply was not restored to many tribal hamlets in remote villages in eight mandals after the July flood.ASR district authorities directed the revenue authorities to shift people to safe places if the flood situation worsens. Sabari, Indravathi, Pranahita and other tributaries of river Godavari are also in spate.
West Godavari District Collector P Prasanthi visited Garagaparru and Duvva areas, which are likely to be affected by Yerra Kalva flood. She directed officials to strengthen the flood banks. Polavaram project superintendent engineer Narasimhamurthy said that water level at the spillway reached 29 feet and it may go up if the inflows increase.
First flood alert sounded at B’chalam
The Bhadradri Kothagudem district administration at 4 pm on Tuesday sounded the first flood alert. The water level in the Godavari river has reached 43 feet and is expected to reach 55 feet (above the third warning level of 53 feet) by the night, said district Collector D Anudeep. Water from the Indravathi and Pranahita rivers is entering the Godavari basin, causing a rise in water level. There is an ambience of panic around the town as residents gear up for floods for the second time this season. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2022/aug/10/alert-issued-in-andhra-after-second-flood-in-godavari-in-a-month-2486006.html | 2022-08-11T06:56:49Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/andhra-pradesh/2022/aug/10/alert-issued-in-andhra-after-second-flood-in-godavari-in-a-month-2486006.html | false | 1 |

A recent study raises new concerns about how fast the climate crisis is weakening Antarctica's floating ice shelves and accelerating the rise of global sea levels.
Antarctica's coastal glaciers have been shedding icebergs more rapidly than nature can replenish the crumbling ice, doubling previous estimates of losses from the world's largest ice sheet over the past 25 years, a satellite analysis showed.
The first-of-its-kind study, led by researchers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) near Los Angeles was published in the journal Nature on Wednesday.
The study's key finding was that the net loss of Antarctic ice from coastal glacier chunks "calving" off into the ocean is nearly as great as the net amount of ice that scientists already knew was being lost due to thinning caused by the melting of ice shelves from below by warming seas.
Taken together, thinning and calving have reduced the mass of Antarctica's ice shelves by 12 trillion tonnes since 1997, double the previous estimate, the analysis concluded.
The net loss of the continent's ice sheet from calving alone in the past quarter-century spans nearly 37,000 square kilometres, an area almost the size of Switzerland, according to JPL scientist Chad Greene, the study's lead author.
"Antarctica is crumbling at its edges," Greene said in a NASA announcement of the findings. "And when ice shelves dwindle and weaken, the continent's massive glaciers tend to speed up and increase the rate of global sea level rise."
The consequences could be enormous. Antarctica holds 88 percent of the sea level potential of all the world's ice, he said.

Ice shelves, permanent floating sheets of frozen freshwater attached to land, take thousands of years to form and act like buttresses holding back glaciers that would otherwise easily slide off into the ocean, causing seas to rise.
In recent decades, though, warming oceans have weakened the shelves from underneath, a phenomenon previously documented by satellite altimeters measuring the changing height of the ice and showing losses averaging 149 million tonnes a year from 2002 to 2020, according to NASA.
For their analysis, Greene's team synthesised satellite imagery from visible, thermal-infrared and radar wavelengths to chart glacial flow and calving since 1997 more accurately than ever over 50,000 kilometres of Antarctic coastline.
The losses measured from calving outpaced natural ice shelf replenishment so greatly that researchers found it unlikely Antarctica can return to pre-2000 glacier levels by the end of this century.
The accelerated glacial calving, like ice thinning, was most pronounced in West Antarctica, an area hit harder by warming ocean currents.
But even in East Antarctica, a region whose ice shelves were long considered less vulnerable, "we're seeing more losses than gains," Greene said.
Failure to curb greenhouse gas emissions, however, would risk contributing "many meters of sea level rise over the next few centuries," he said.

Blinken comes to Rwanda at a particularly difficult time for Africa’s Great Lakes region, with the small central African nation at odds with vast neighbor Congo over allegations that both governments support rebels opposed to each other.
In a meeting on Thursday with Rwandan President Paul Kagame, Blinken is expected to discuss efforts to ease the tensions. Rwanda is rejecting a new report by United Nations experts saying they have “solid evidence” that members of Rwanda’s armed forces are conducting operations in eastern Congo in support of the M23 rebel group.
Blinken has said reports of Rwanda’s support for M23 appeared “credible.” After meeting with authorities in Congo on Tuesday, he said the U.S. will support African-led efforts to end the fighting.
Rwandan authorities in turn accuse Congo of giving refuge to ethnic Hutu fighters who played roles in Rwanda’s 1994 genocide that killed ethnic Tutsis and moderate Hutus. There have long been tensions between the countries. In the late 1990s, Rwanda twice sent its forces deep into Congo, joining forces with rebel leader Laurent Kabila to depose the country’s longtime dictator Mobutu Sese Seko.
Both Rwanda and Congo deny the charges of backing rebel groups, and Rwandan authorities have rejected the latest report by U.N. experts as a move “to distract from real issues.” Rwanda also asserts that its security needs cannot be met while armed fugitives from the genocide continue to operate from inside Congolese territory.
A meeting between Kagame and Congolese President Felix Tshisekedi in Angola on July 6 produced a statement calling for a return to normal diplomatic relations, a cessation of hostilities and the “immediate and unconditional withdrawal” of the M23 from its positions in eastern Congo.
But M23, which comprises mostly ethnic Tutsis from Congo, continues to hold its positions near the border with Uganda, keeping the spotlight on Rwanda.
The chairman of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee in a letter to Blinken last month called for a comprehensive review of U.S. policy toward Rwanda and noted his concern that Washington’s support for Rwanda, widely described by human right groups as authoritarian and repressive, is not in line with U.S. values.
The State Department said Blinken in Rwanda also will raise democracy and human rights concerns, including transnational repression and the limited space for the opposition.
Paul Rusesabagina, a permanent resident of the U.S. who is jailed in Rwanda after his conviction last year on terror-related charges, also is on the agenda. Rusesabagina, who achieved fame with the film “Hotel Rwanda” for sheltering ethnic Tutsis during the genocide, was a recipient of the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom.
In a statement ahead of Blinken’s visit, Rwanda’s government said it “looks forward to a robust exchange of views on governance and human rights, as has always been the case in the Rwanda-U.S. bilateral relationship.” It acknowledged the talks would include Rusesabagina’s situation.
Blinken on this trip also visited South Africa, where he described a strategy “rooted in the recognition that sub-Saharan Africa is a major geopolitical force.” | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/08/10/breaking-news/blinken-in-rwanda-to-discuss-congo-tensions-human-rights/ | 2022-08-11T07:07:57Z | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/08/10/breaking-news/blinken-in-rwanda-to-discuss-congo-tensions-human-rights/ | true | 15 |
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. >> The Denver Broncos now sport the wealthiest owner in the NFL and the league’s most diverse ownership group.
Four of the six members of the Walton-Penner ownership group which was welcomed into the NFL fraternity this week, are either women or minorities.
Walmart heir Rob Walton said today that his son-in-law, Greg Penner, will serve as CEO of the team. Penner, in turn, said he’ll soon hire a team president.
Those roles had been held by Joe Ellis, who is staying on this year as an advisor.
Penner said he’ll be the point person “but this is an incredible group. We’re going to draw on all of them.”
Walton thanked Ellis for his 27 years of service and paid tribute to the late Pat Bowlen, who purchased the team in 1984 for $78 million and who died in 2019 a month shy of his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“Pat Bowlen built a great legacy and a record of winning and championships,” Walton said. “We plan to do everything we can to build on the championship tradition of this great organization. … Simply put, it’s an honor to steward this historic franchise. Our No. 1 priority is putting a winning team on the field to win Super Bowls.”
Walton, the oldest child of Walmart co-founder Sam Walton, bought the Broncos along with his daughter, Carrie Walton Penner, and her husband, for $4.65 billion, a global record for a professional sports franchise.
Walton’s estimated net worth is $60 billion. Before Walton’s group purchased the Broncos, the NFL’s wealthiest owner was Carolina’s David Tepper, whom Forbes estimates has a total net worth of $16.7 billion.
The ownership group includes limited partners Mellody Hobson, Condoleezza Rice and Lewis Hamilton. Hobson is CEO of Starbucks, Rice is a professor at Stanford and former U.S. Secretary of State and Hamilton is the winningest Formula One driver in history.
All three investors are Black, satisfying the league’s goal to bring more racial diversity into ownership groups, front offices and coaching staffs.
“We wanted to add people that brought different perspectives and experiences and certainly we have that here,” Penner said. “Lewis, being the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time) Formula One driver, Dr. Rice with all of her experience in politics and academics and world affairs, Mellody, as a you know, an incredible businesswoman and her track record there.
“We’re big believers in bringing together different perspectives and experiences and backgrounds and that we think will make us more successful.”
All but Hamilton, who’s in season, gathered at team headquarters a day after fellow NFL owners unanimously approved the sale Tuesday in Minnesota.
The Broncos new ownership group met with staff and players before practice and star safety Justin Simmons said he was proud to see so many faces of color.
“To see some diversity and to see strong, Black women in the ownership group, I mean, what an inspiration for so many people,” said Simmons, who is biracial. “There’s little girls out here whose dads play on the team and they can look up at the ownership of the Broncos and they can see someone that looks just like them and I think that’s really great.
“But I think the biggest thing on top of that is they didn’t just do that to do that,” Simmons said. “I mean, these are really powerful, qualified individuals that deserve this, earned this, worked for this. And that to me in inspiring.”
Hobson called it “such an honor and a privilege to be an owner of this remarkable organization. … The moment is humbling and it’s historical, and yet, I feel at home.”
Hobson said when she was first approached about joining the ownership group, she encouraged Walton to also bring aboard her friend Hamilton.
“Lewis is my chosen little brother,” she said. “As soon as this opportunity came up, I said, ‘You have to have Lewis.’ I met Lewis in his rookie season as an F1 driver We bonded over time. As many of you know, he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth and I call him, ‘Sir Little Brother.’
“He has this winning mentality not just on the track but in everything that he does. He cares deeply about people, about our planet and as the first and one (Black F1 driver) in his sport, about diversity, equity and inclusion.”
Rice, who grew up in Denver, joked that her late father, who was a big football fan, “has to be thinking, ‘She finally got a really important job.’”
Penner, who said he doesn’t anticipate bringing aboard any more limited partners, demurred when asked if John Elway or Peyton Manning would be involved with the team going forward.
The new owners met with both on the field today. Elway told The Associated Press earlier this year that he’d like to advise the new owners to help them in their first year.
“We’re just going to learn from both of them,” Penner said. “I think it’s going to be a really good relationship.”
While saying he was thrilled that GM George Payton acquired quarterback Russell Wilson this spring, Penner gave no timeline for a contract extension that’s expected to be worth about $260 million over five years. | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/08/10/sports/sports-breaking/broncos-now-sport-the-nfls-richest-most-diverse-ownership/ | 2022-08-11T07:08:09Z | https://www.staradvertiser.com/2022/08/10/sports/sports-breaking/broncos-now-sport-the-nfls-richest-most-diverse-ownership/ | true | 47 |
Residents of a city in the UK where there is not even a single NHS dentist available to see new patients tell how they became desperate and even resorted to creating home-made dentures following instructions on social media.
Ian Simpson, from Blackpool, North West England, says he has spent years trying to book an appointment for dental treatment, with no success.
A UK-wide BBC investigation could not find any clinics in the county of Lancashire that would accept new NHS patients. Simpson says he has “given up” and that he avoids smiling.

NHS England said it has made recent changes to make more resources available and support clinics.
But Simpson says that, frustrated with the long wait, he now plans to travel to Turkey or Italy for treatment.
“I don’t smile as much as I used to. It breaks my heart. I’ve tried and tried. In private, the budget was £9,900,” he says.
The chef and former boxer adds: “I had beautiful teeth and I always took care of them.”
Oran Hodgkiss, 22, says he had to travel to Northern Ireland, his homeland, for dental treatment.
The student, who is entitled to free treatment by the NHS, has had a problem with a wisdom tooth for months and is in a lot of pain.
He says he has tried treatment with 12 dentists without success — only one of them offered to put him on an 18-month waiting list. “Ridiculous. I understand there are delays caused by covid, but not getting an unbelievable dentist,” he laments.
Hodgkiss says he is desperate to get his teeth fixed in time for his wedding next month and is now facing “more flights and absences from work”.
J Caroline Young says she had to resort to making her own dentures by melting modeling plastic after seeing instructions on social media.
The crowns she had previously placed were falling off, she explains.
Young tried superglue for a while, but now he uses polymorph plastic—small balls that melt when submerged in hot water—and molds them into false teeth.
“It’s not what I wanted to do. I prefer teeth. That way I can smile at people from a distance and not look too weird,” she says.
“There were times when I tried to fit in and it didn’t work. Crying because I can’t leave. I can’t leave the house. Demoralizing.”
Dentists warn that homemade dentures not only pose a choking hazard, but also food traps that can trigger serious tooth decay and gum damage.
Emma Clarke, from nearby Fleetwood, says she has tried dentists as far away as Lancaster.
She chipped her front tooth at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic and has problems with four others.
The 39-year-old woman says her teeth were “disintegrating” in the midst of waiting to find a dentist and that she cannot afford to pay for private consultations.
“Atrocious. We shouldn’t have to pay. Unfair. Depressing. It really knocked my confidence down,” he laments.
Clarke adds that he was also turning to homemade plastic dentures. “They’re better than not having teeth,” she says.
Rebecca Carey, who has recently become a mother, needs treatment for a broken tooth and the closest NHS dentist she could find was in Liverpool, more than 50 miles away.
“I can’t eat on that side of my mouth to avoid further damage,” she says.
“Disgusting. The city of Blackpool wants to keep thriving, but it can’t take care of its residents. No one explained why they aren’t accepting new patients either. They just told us ‘we can’t help and there’s no waiting list’.”
An NHS spokesperson said: “The NHS recently announced the first dental reforms since 2006 that will support clinics to improve access, including giving high-performing clinics the opportunity to increase their activity and treat more patients.”
According to him, “the discussions about other changes that benefit patients and staff are still ongoing.”
The spokesperson added that the coronavirus pandemic has had a “disproportionate impact” on the region, which has led to a disruption in routine care, with dentists prioritizing urgent cases.
NHS England has invested £50m to help increase access to dentists across the country, which equates to more than £7m in North West England alone, he concluded.
MP Scott Benton says recent changes to the dental contract made by NHS England “should go a long way towards reducing the build-up of dental problems that have grown up due to the pandemic”.

ST. HELENA - A radiant light has gone out in St. Helena. Priscilla Belmont Upton died on July 27, 2022 at home surrounded by Sloan, her beloved husband of 52 years and her two daughters, Caroline Upton and Cecily Upton.
While Priscilla was born in New York to Elizabeth (Saltonstall) Tower and August Belmont III, she was destined to be a California girl. She moved from New York to Montecito, CA in 1946 with her mother, step-father, Lockwood Tower, sister, Alice and brothers, August, John and Richard. After her formative years in Montecito, followed by university in Denver, CO and stints teaching in Hell's Kitchen, NYC, Priscilla headed back to the West Coast where she worked as a nursing assistant in San Francisco. It is at this time that she met her future husband, Sloan. After a few years of "being friends", Sloan finally realized the independent, kind, beautiful, tenacious and witty Priscilla Belmont was his match and they were married at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church in Montecito, CA on September 6, 1969. With Sloan's vineyard in its infancy, the newlyweds settled into life in the Napa Valley. Two daughters came along in fairly short order, with Priscilla and Sloan moving into what would be their home for the next 50+ years just weeks prior their youngest daughter being born.
Hiking up arduous trails in Yosemite while 7 months pregnant or coming to the aid of injured wildlife after the Valdez Alaska oil spill, Priscilla lived her life with an adventurous spirit and a generosity of heart. Friends and family recall her tireless volunteerism for many causes, both local and far-reaching. When not contributing to the health and well-being of her community, she was either planning a trip, taking a trip or surprising her loved ones with a far flung adventure. In honor of her husband's 70th birthday, Priscilla managed to organize a surprise expedition to the Scottish Highlands with beloved friends and family, replete with a welcome performance by the personal bagpiper to the Duchess of Argyll.
Priscilla's grandsons, Sloan and Kiernan, relished the time they spent with their Nanny. Be it experimenting in the kitchen, reading Harry Potter, or a quick visit on their way to school, she was an integral keystone in their young lives.Her inner circle of friends were equally celebrated by Priscilla. And they loved her fiercely in return. On news of Priscilla entering Hospice care, an early 80th birthday party car parade was organized with a tremendous outpouring of love, support, 75+ honking horns, banners, balloons and a brass band. She was able to watch this joyful spectacle from her bedroom window and it delighted her.
Her tireless community activism helped cultivate Ole Health and Rianda House into the indispensable community pillars that they are today. Priscilla led an incredible life and she felt it imperative to give back. Per her request, in lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to her two favorite charities.

Rishi Sunak promises more support in UK energy crisis
His pledge came as energy consultancy Cornwall Insight issued a forecast to say that household heating bills are expected to rise even further this winter than previously predicted.
Published: 09th August 2022 06:49 PM | Last Updated: 09th August 2022 06:49 PM | A+A A-
LONDON: Former Chancellor Rishi Sunak on Tuesday promised to provide more money to help people cope with soaring household energy bills if he is elected Britain's Prime Minister next month.
The 42-year-old Indian-origin finalist in the Conservative Party leadership election pledged government "efficiency savings" to fund the support while limiting borrowing.
His pledge came as energy consultancy Cornwall Insight issued a forecast to say that household heating bills are expected to rise even further this winter than previously predicted. "There is no doubt in my mind that more support will be needed," Sunak said. "As soon as we know how much bills will go up by, I will act," he said.
The issue has dominated the campaign for the two finalists, with rival Foreign Secretary Liz Truss focused on pledges to cut taxes —something the former finance minister has warned would risk making the high inflation even worse.
Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab, a key Sunak ally in the leadership race, warned that the governing Conservatives will be writing an "electoral suicide note" if Truss is elected to push ahead with her plans for an emergency tax-cutting budget.
"As Conservative Party members decide which way to cast their vote over the coming weeks, I urge them to consider this point carefully. If we go to the country in September with an emergency budget that fails to measure up to the task, voters will not forgive us as they see their living standards eroded and the financial security they cherish disappear before their eyes," he writes in 'The Times.

"Such a failure will read unmistakenly to the public like an electoral suicide note and see our great party cast into the impotent oblivion of opposition," he said.
"As Conservatives, we believe in lower taxes and a smaller, leaner state. That must always be our lodestar and, with Rishi Sunak as Prime Minister, that is where we will get to over the course of the next decade, winning a historic fifth term in the process," he notes.
On the flip side, former Cabinet minister Sajid Javid and Truss supporters told the "I" newspaper that the Foreign Secretary had the best plan for boosting living standards, even as he admitted "more needs to be done" to support people on lower incomes.
Both the leadership candidates, as well as the outgoing Prime Minister Boris Johnson, are under pressure from the mounting cost-of-living crisis as the Bank of England warned an economic recession was around the corner.
While Johnson is on honeymoon at a resort in Slovenia after a wedding party last month to celebrate his lockdown nuptials with wife Carrie, critics have warned that delaying action until his successor is in place at 10 Downing Street early next month could prove disastrous.
Tony Danker, the director-general of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) which represents British businesses, said civil servants should be "working with the candidates now" to draw up options for helping vulnerable people as soon as one of them takes office.

"I just don't think it's responsible government for a Prime Minister, or future prime ministers, not to give the country reassurance," he said. The Opposition Labour Party accused the Tory government of losing control of the economy.
"People are worried sick about how they'll pay their bills and do their weekly food shop, and all this Tory prime minister does is shrug his shoulders," said Labour Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves.
"An economic crisis like this requires strong leadership and urgent action" but instead, we have a Tory party that's lost control and is stuck with two continuity candidates who can only offer more of the same.
"Labour would start by scrapping tax breaks on oil and gas producers and providing more help to people who are struggling to pay their energy bills. Only a Labour government can tackle this crisis and deliver the stronger, more secure economy that Britain needs," she said.
Meanwhile, Sunak and Truss continue their campaigning to convince Conservative Party members to cast votes in their favour. The polling will close on September 2 and the new party leader will be announced on September 5. | https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2022/aug/09/rishi-sunak-promises-more-support-in-uk-energy-crisis-2485792.html | 2022-08-11T07:11:16Z | https://www.newindianexpress.com/world/2022/aug/09/rishi-sunak-promises-more-support-in-uk-energy-crisis-2485792.html | true | 9 |
The Rhine dries up and “exhausts” the possibilities of navigation – El Financiero
The River Rennes On the verge of becoming nearly impassable at a major trading point in Germanywhere shallow waters choke shipments of energy products and other industrial goods along one of the country’s most important waterways. Europe.
tag in Kaupe, West Frankfurt, is expected to drop on August 12 to a critical depth of 40 centimeters, according to the German Federal Administration of Waterways and Shipping. At this level, it is impossible for most barges carrying goods from diesel to coal to cross. So far, the result is still expected to drop to 37 cm the next day.
Europe Faces worst energy crisis through decades Russia curbs natural gas flows And increases tensions in the region by its invasion of Ukraine. This has driven up prices and prompted companies to use more oil and coal instead. The energy crisis has spread to the wider economy, driving up production costs and threatening to push some of the continent’s largest economies into recession.
While some shallow-water barges will still be able to sail the Rhine in Kaube, the falling water level shows how the climate crisis is exacerbating the region’s energy problems. Record energy prices in Germany rose to a new record on Wednesday. Europe’s natural gas and coal futures also advanced.
Used by ships to transport essential goods, the Rhine meanders some 1,300 kilometers from its high source in the Swiss Alps through some of Europe’s most important industrial regions before emptying into the North Sea near Rotterdam. Companies, including chemical giant BASF SE and steelmaker Thyssenkrupp AG, depend on the river to supply major factories with fuel and raw materials.
a mix of Ice flow and rain It feeds the river, but Glacier contributions decreased In recent years as summer melt has outpaced winter ice formation due to climate change. According to the Swiss Federal Weather Service, below-average snowfall last winter and continued erosion of glaciers mean the waterway is particularly likely to drop to crisis levels.
When the mark at Kaub reaches 40 centimeters or less, a representative from Germany’s Federal Institute of Hydrology said, it becomes uneconomic for most boats to sail farther. This effectively stops most shipments from flowing beyond that point.
The measured water level is not the actual depth of the river, but rather a navigational sign. Shipments have already been disrupted for weeks, with limited water limiting the amount of ships they can carry. fees Transporting some fuel to Basel, Switzerland It is now €267 ($276) a ton, compared to €25 a tonne in early June, according to data from global insights.
An official with Germany’s state waterways agency said by phone on Wednesday that boats were still passing through the main bottleneck on the Kaup River. The sandals are expected to continue operating until the Kaub Index drops about 20 cm from current levels.
Low levels could become a nuisance for BASF and energy companies such as EnBW AG and Uniper SE, the latter of which recently received a bailout. 17 billion US dollars from the government German to prevent the collapse of its own power grid. While companies will still be able to supply factories and power stations by road or rail, these modes of transportation are much more expensive, leading to shrinking profit margins.
Downstream, Thyssenkrupp keeps a close eye on water levels in Duisburg, near Cologne. The river is currently 173 cm deep, with 150 cm being the level that makes transporting materials such as coke and iron ore by barge uneconomical.

PDP crisis: Sheathe your swords – Bode George sends message to Atiku, Wike, Ayu
A chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the Southwest, Chief Bode George, on Wednesday, called on angry members of the party to sheathe their swords for the benefit of the party.
George, who urged the party’s presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, to reach out to aggrieved persons, also pleaded with the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, to continue to show interest in the party’s affairs.
The PDP chieftain also urged the party’s National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu, to honour his promise and resign.
He said Ayu had earlier vowed to resign if the party’s presidential candidate emerged from the North.
Speaking at a press conference held at his residence in Ikoyi, Lagos, George said, “Ayu once said if the presidential candidate should emerge from the North, he’ll resign. I want to take on him for his word. Why are you now trying to reverse the role? Your word must be your bond.
“However, I appeal to all sides to sheathe their swords.
“It’s absolutely necessary and makes a lot of sense for the candidate who wants to wear the big crown, Atiku Abubakar, to start the networking of people and multiple congregation of efforts that’ll make the party succeed.
“I urge Ezenwo Wike to maintain an abiding interest and fidelity to the PDP, which is the best in terms of national outlook, format and reputation.” | https://dailypost.ng/2022/08/11/pdp-crisis-sheathe-your-swords-bode-george-sends-message-to-atiku-wike-ayu/ | 2022-08-11T07:21:21Z | https://dailypost.ng/2022/08/11/pdp-crisis-sheathe-your-swords-bode-george-sends-message-to-atiku-wike-ayu/ | false | 1 |

After the recent annual Conservative Political Action Conference convention in Dallas, CNN published a video with the following headline: “Election deniers take over CPAC after primary victories.” In a recent appearance on CBS, Republican Rep. Paul Kinzinger, R-Ill., who voted to impeach former President Donald Trump and serves on the House Jan. 6 committee, said: “The only thing we need for democracy to survive is the knowledge that you can vote, that that vote counts, and we live with the winner and loser. If half the country believes that that wasn’t accurate, you can’t expect democracy to survive.”
Where was this concern about “election deniers” when Democrats have complained about “stolen” elections?
In 2018, Democrat Stacey Abrams claimed she lost her Georgia gubernatorial race due to voter “suppression.” In her speech after the election was called for her opponent, she refused to concede. Three years later, she told CNN that her opponent “won under the rules of the game at the time, but the game was rigged against the voters of Georgia.” A USA Today fact check said, “There is little empirical evidence (opponent Georgia then-Secretary of State Brian) Kemp stole the election.
Former Vice President Al Gore, in a Washington Post interview two years after his presidential defeat to George W. Bush, said, “I believe that if everyone in Florida who tried to vote had had his or her vote counted properly, that I would have won.”
In January 2001 several House Democrats voted against certifying the election results of 2000. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-California, said in a joint session of Congress: “The objection is in writing, and I do not care that it is not signed by a member of the Senate (as is necessary to force a Senate vote on the challenge.)”
Had Ohio, in 2004, gone to Democrat John Kerry, he would have become president. President George W. Bush carried it 51% to 49%, a margin of about 100,000 votes. But Jan. 6 Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, on Jan. 6, 2005, joined 30 other House Democrats and Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-California, in refusing to certify Ohio’s presidential election results, claiming “voter suppression” in addition to arguing, also with no basis in fact, that the Diebold voting machines were manipulated to reelect Bush.
The Senate voted 74-1 against the Democrats’ challenge. Though Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois, voted against the challenge, he praised Boxer in 2005 for making it: “I thank her for doing that, because it gives members an opportunity once again on a bipartisan basis to look at a challenge that we face not just in the last election in one state, but in many states.”
Hillary Clinton consistently calls the presidential election of 2016 “stolen” and described then-President Trump as “illegitimate.” Former President Jimmy Carter said in 2019: “I think a full investigation would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016. He lost the election, and he was put into office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.” New York Attorney General Letitia James said she “will never be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president.”
About the 2016 election, former Obama Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson testified under oath that, while the Russians tried to manipulate voting machines, there is no evidence that a single vote tally was changed. As to the effect of Russian interference, Johnson said that there’s no way of knowing whether the interference affected public opinion or the election result.
Nevertheless a 2018 YouGov poll found 66% of Democrats believe that Russia changed vote tallies to elect Trump in 2016. A 2018 Gallup poll found 78% of Democrats believe that Russian interference in 2016 “changed the outcome of the election” in favor of Trump.
About the 2020 election, CNN politics editor Chris Cillizza wrote: “76% of self-identified Republicans in a new national Quinnipiac University poll. That’s the number of Republicans who said they believe there was ‘widespread fraud in the 2020 election.’” As noted, a greater percentage of Democrats, 78%, consider 2016’s presidential election to have been “stolen” compared to 76% of Republicans who feel likewise about 2020.

DA wants Bheki Cele fired and hauled before parliament over Krugersdorp rape comment
The DA has referred police minister Bheki Cele to parliament for investigation over a comment he made about a horrific gang rape of eight women in Krugersdorp recently, saying it demonstrated how deeply unsuitable he is for the position.
In a conversation with eNCA, the minister gave details about the shocking attack, including that one woman had been raped by 10 men.
He said one of the women “was lucky — if it is lucky” to be raped by just one man.
“One woman was raped by 10 different men. The other one by eight, the other one by six, the other one by four, [the other by] three. The one 19-year-old was lucky — if it is lucky — [to be] raped by one man,” said Cele.
1. Bheki Cele is a certifiable moron.
— Mudzuli Rakhivhane (@Mudzuli_Rakhi) August 2, 2022
2. Is this how the police think about rape? That victims in South Africa are lucky when they’re only rapped by one person? Is this the state of our nation? pic.twitter.com/jgaXaR8oDT
In a statement, the DA slammed Cele for not apologising for the statement and President Cyril Ramaphosa for not reprimanding him.
“We believe Cele’s 'lucky to not be raped' sentiment is absolutely unacceptable and dangerous. It perpetuates a culture of blaming or blame-sharing female rape victims and implies there is some sort of gratitude missing among those women who escape SA’s out of control rape pandemic.”
The official opposition said Cele's statement warrants a parliamentary investigation by the joint committee on ethics and members’ interests.
“The DA believes it is so antithetical to his oath, as an MP, so egregious a pronouncement as minister and so damaging a sentiment for society, that it warrants a parliamentary investigation by the joint committee on ethics and members’ interests.
“We believe the registrar of members’ interests should refer minister Cele for investigation for breach of his oath and breach of the codes which are binding on him.
“Once more, we give President Ramaphosa the opportunity to condemn and chastise minister Cele, and better yet, to fire him once and for all so that the SA Police Service can be rescued from his failing hands.”

Two of Bollywood's biggest films, Aamir Khan's Laal Singh Chaddha and Akshay Kumar's Raksha Bandhan is releasing in cinema halls today on the auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan. While the first one is an official adaptation of Tom Hanks' Forrest Gump, the second film features Akshay as a sweetshop owner who is struggling to get his sisters married.
Laal Singh Chaddha VS Raksha Bandhan Box Office Early Trends: Trade Analysts Say Aamir's Film Has Upper Hand
While both the movies have generated a lot of buzz among the cinegoers, trade experts feel that Aamir's Laal Singh Chaddha has an upper hand over Akshay's Raksha Bandhan. The advance ticket sales of the former is higher than the latter. While Laal Singh Chaddha has sold 63000 tickets at the three national chains, Raksha Bandhan has sold 34000 tickets.
A News18 report quoted film business expert and producer Girish Johar as saying, "As of now, before the release, there are no two ways about that - it's Laal Singh Chaddha. Aamir is returning after four years so everyone's looking forward to it. He has been delivering quality content in the past. Even with Thugs of Hindostan, although the film did not do well, the film did get one of the biggest openings. So with regard to advance ticket sales, Laal Singh Chaddha is higher than Raksha Bandhan."
On being asked if the ongoing boycott trends on social media will hamper Laal Singh Chaddha's box office performance, Johar said that he thinks the audience doesn't bother about what's trending on social media. According to him, if they have liked the trailer and they can watch either or both of them. He said that if a movie is good then people will go to watch it regardless of the social media trend. But if it's not, then it's performance at the box office would get affected.
Meanwhile, trade analyst Amul Mohan believes that the long weekend could impact the performance of both the films in a negative way.
"This time, the Raksha Bandhan weekend extends into the Independence Day weekend. While it could appear beneficial for the movies, giving people enough time to go watch the movie, there is a flip side to it as well. During long weekends, people are in transit. They prefer going on short trips. To top it off, it is Rakhi wherein families usually plan reunions and people are usually occupied with meeting siblings. So this could impact the morning shows. Nevertheless, those who want to go watch might go watch on the first day," News18 quoted him as saying.
Meanwhile, out of these two movies, which one are you looking forward to watch? Let us know in the comment box.

BOSTON (AP) — Vaughn Grissom was rounding third when it sank in.
He had just cleared the Green Monster for his first big league hit, and he gave himself an emphatic clap before finishing his home run trot.
“That was like a ‘We made it’ moment, I guess,” the Braves’ top prospect said after homering in his major league debut to help Atlanta beat the Boston Red Sox 8-4 on Wednesday night. “Like a ‘We did it’ type of feeling.”
Grissom homered onto Lansdowne Street and then singled and scored another run, and Marcell Ozuna hit a three-run homer to help Atlanta complete a two-game sweep. Kyle Wright earned his league-leading 14th win for the defending World Series champions, who arrived in Boston after losing four of five to the first-place Mets and are now seven games back in the NL East.
“We had a rough weekend,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “Which is fine; it’s going to happen. I did not think this was going to be bump free.”
Called up earlier in the day from Double-A, the 21-year-old Grissom went hitless in his first two at-bats but hit the first pitch he saw in the seventh inning completely out of Fenway Park. He tossed his bat aside before taking off around the bases, clapped his hands as he rounded third and arrived home to be congratulated by Michael Harris II, who had singled ahead of him.
A healthy number of Braves fans in the crowd of 35,406 gave Grissom a big cheer. Grissom singled his next time up, stole second and scored. When he gave a postgame interview on the field, fans behind the dugout chanted his name.
“I just took a second to myself (before the game) to just really look at everything, and just do my best to just take a picture in my head,” said Grissom, who went back on the field with his family after the game. “You really don’t know until you actually do it. I mean, you try to prepare yourself and all that, but it’s nothing like how you think it’s going to be.”
Wright (14-5) allowed one run on one hit and one walk in six innings, striking out five for the 10th win in 12 decisions.
Red Sox trade deadline pickup Tommy Pham homered for the third straight game, hitting a three-run shot in the seventh to turn a 5-1 deficit into a one-run game. But the Braves scored two more in the eighth, on Eddie Rosario’s double and Ozuna’s sacrifice fly.
Nick Pivetta (8-9) pitched six innings, allowing three runs — Ozuna’s homer — on five hits and two walks while striking out five. The last-place Red Sox lost their fourth straight game, and their sixth of seven.
WELCOME TO THE BIGS
Grissom was batting .324 with 14 homers, 67 RBIs and 27 stolen bases at Single- and Double-A this season. His mother, father, stepfather, sister, aunt and girlfriend made the trip from Florida to see him play second base and bat ninth in his debut.
Grissom hit into a fielder’s choice in the third inning, struck out in the fifth and came up again with one on and one out in the seventh, when he homered to make it 5-1.
Grissom added a single in the ninth; the Braves made sure to call for this ball as a keepsake (though the home run ball was eventually retrieved). He later scored on Dansby Swanson’s single to make it 8-4.
“He was like a kid out on the playground, pretty much just having a ball. I think they said it’s genuine. I think that guy really likes to play baseball,” Snitker said. “It’s a novel idea: Have fun playing baseball.”
Harris, who was called up in May, is also a 21-year-old prospect who moved up to the eight spot in the order. He entered Wednesday’s game hitting .288 with 10 homers, 34 RBIs and 12 stolen bases while shoring up the defense in center field.
BACK HOME AGAIN
The Braves spent their first eight decades in Boston, until owner Lou Perini became convinced he couldn’t compete with the AL Red Sox and moved his NL franchise to Milwaukee. They did not play in Boston again until interleague play in 1997.
The site of the former Braves Field is now a stadium at Boston University, which marked the spot of the original home plate on its turf.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Braves: Kirby Yates got one out in the seventh in his return from Tommy John surgery. The former All-Star closer had not pitched in 724 days. … Grissom took over for Orlando Arcia, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with a strained left hamstring he sustained running the bases in Atlanta’s 10-inning victory Tuesday night. Regular second baseman Ozzie Albies is recovering from a broken foot.
Red Sox: INF-OF Kiké Hernández went 1 for 2 with a single in a rehab outing for Double-A Portland. … SS Xander Bogaerts hit a foul ball off his left leg. After showing signs of pain, he remained in the game.
UP NEXT
Braves: Have their second off-day in four days before playing three games in four days at Miami.
Red Sox: Play a one-game series against Baltimore, with RHP Josh Winckowski (5-5) facing Orioles RHP Austin Voth (2-1).

LONDON, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Tenderize is proud to announce a $3M seed round led by Eden Block with other investors including TRGC, Encode Club, Figment, Daedalus Angels, and other angels from Messari, Livepeer, and Steakwallet.
Tenderize adds utility to staked assets of web 3 protocols through its staking derivatives protocol. Through Tenderize, users can unlock liquidity, collateralize loans and trade tokens, all while maintaining a staked position represented by an ERC20 token. This flexibility unlocks the full utility potential of staked assets for all participants in web3 protocols while minimizing any obstructions to their current workflows and interfaces.
The Tenderize team has a passion for staking, and includes web 3 veterans that have contributed to several long-standing projects such as Livepeer, Pocket Network, Yearn and Realms of Ether, as well as established and proven talent from web2.
By reducing the friction of operating a node or delegating tokens, Tenderize's vision is to empower users to unlock new use cases and improve capital efficiency of their staked assets through various fully-composable building blocks.
Tenderize is hard at work on both the front-end integrations (wallets, analytics platforms, etc.) and back-end integrations (tokens, custodial staking partners, exchanges) to show the growing user base a better way to stake.
"The team's previous experience at projects like Livepeer, Pocket Network and Yearn gave us the insight into the growing need for a better staking experience for web3 protocols. For the longest time users had to choose between liquidity and staking rewards/securing their network. With Tenderize's liquid staking, users have both," - Nico Vergauwen, Co-Founder at Tenderize
With a Mainnet launch in mid-May, users can already experience liquid staking for LPT, GRT, AUDIO, and MATIC.
In the future, Tenderize's end goal is to enable permissionless liquid staking, which they believe to be the silver bullet to many existing problems facing liquid staking protocols (unpegging, centralization, cartelization, etc.). Any node operator and its delegators would be able to integrate with Tenderize without gatekeeping; the neutral stance ensures they add as much value as possible to every project that wants to empower their users - without sacrificing on decentralization.
Get Started
To unlock the full potential of the assets, head on over to the Tenderize website here, and follow the several quick guides. Tenderize currently supports The Graph, Polygon, Livepeer, and Audius with support for the user's favorite protocol coming soon - let Tenderize know which ones to prioritize in the Discord!
About Tenderize
Tenderize is on a mission to unlock the full utility potential of assets locked in web3 protocols. Tenderize maintains a neutral and permissionless protocol, allowing any project to integrate and provide flexible yield to users. Through Tenderize, users can reclaim previously untouched capital via Tender Tokens, giving users access to their cash flow while maintaining staking rewards. Node operators benefit from access to instant liquidity and collateralization when they need it, while never having to unstake and lose out on rewards.

Denise Richards says she wouldn’t want daughters married to someone like ex Charlie Sheen
Richards filed for divorce from Sheen when she was six months pregnant
Denise Richards has revealed what led her to file for divorce from Charlie Sheen when she was six months pregnant.
Speaking about her relationship with the actor, who Richards divorced in 2006 after a four-year marriage, the 51-year-old said she “felt guilty for splitting up the family unit”.
“I struggled with that for years,” Richards said on Wednesday (10 August) in an episode of the “Divorced Not Dead” podcast with host, The Real Housewives of Dubai star Caroline Stanbury.
Richards added that she wouldn’t want her daughters married to someone line Sheen, which pushed her to make the decision.
“I said to myself, ‘Would I want my daughters married to this man?’ No offense to him but I think he would take that and understand what I’m saying, and that’s when I was like, ‘Well, why am I accepting this?’” she explained.
She added that they briefly reconciled after the birth of their second daughter Lola, but Richards added that their marriage was “very toxic”.
Richards and Sheen share Sami, 18, and Lola, 16, and Richards went on to adopt another daughter, Eloise, in 2011. Richards married actor Aaron Phypers in 2018.
“I did shelter them a lot, and then they started to get to an age where ‘so and so said this,’ and I lied my ass off and covered for him,” Richards added during the podcast.
“Now as they’re starting to get older, they’re more aware of more things. That’s why I say I don’t know if I did them a disservice when they were younger.”

Russia struggles to replenish its troops in Ukraine
The Kremlin has refused to announce a full-blown mobilization as Russia suffers military losses in its invasion of Ukraine which is nearing its sixth month
Russia struggles to replenish its troops in Ukraine
Show all 15The prisoners at the penal colony in St. Petersburg were expecting a visit by officials, thinking it would be some sort of inspection. Instead, men in uniform arrived and offered them amnesty — if they agreed to fight alongside the Russian army in Ukraine.
Over the following days, about a dozen or so left the prison, according to a woman whose boyfriend is serving a sentence there. Speaking on condition of anonymity because she feared reprisals, she said her boyfriend wasn't among the volunteers, although with years left on his sentence, he “couldn't not think about it.”
As Russia continues to suffer losses in its invasion of Ukraine, now nearing its sixth month, the Kremlin has refused to announce a full-blown mobilization — a move that could be very unpopular for President Vladimir Putin. That has led instead to a covert recruitment effort that includes using prisoners to make up the manpower shortage.
This also is happening amid reports that hundreds of Russian soldiers are refusing to fight and trying to quit the military.
“We’re seeing a huge outflow of people who want to leave the war zone — those who have been serving for a long time and those who have signed a contract just recently,” said Alexei Tabalov, a lawyer who runs the Conscript’s School legal aid group.
The group has seen an influx of requests from men who want to terminate their contracts, “and I personally get the impression that everyone who can is ready to run away,” Tabalov said in an interview with The Associated Press. "And the Defense Ministry is digging deep to find those it can persuade to serve.”
Although the Defense Ministry denies that any "mobilization activities” are taking place, authorities seem to be pulling out all the stops to bolster enlistment. Billboards and public transit ads in various regions proclaim, “This is The Job,” urging men to join the professional army. Authorities have set up mobile recruiting centers in some cities, including one at the site of a half marathon in Siberia in May.
Regional administrations are forming “volunteer battalions” that are promoted on state television. The business daily Kommersant counted at least 40 such entities in 20 regions, with officials promising volunteers monthly salaries ranging from the equivalent of $2,150 to nearly $5,500, plus bonuses.
The AP saw thousands of openings on job search websites for various military specialists.
The British military said this week that Russia had formed a major new ground force called the 3rd Army Corps from “volunteer battalions,” seeking men up to age 50 and requiring only a middle-school education, while offering “lucrative cash bonuses” once they are deployed to Ukraine.
But complaints also are surfacing in the media that some aren’t getting their promised payments, although those reports can't be independently verified.
In early August, Tabalov said he began receiving multiple requests for legal help from reservists who have been ordered to take part in a two-month training in areas near the border with Ukraine.
The recruitment of prisoners has been going on in recent weeks in as many as seven regions, said Vladimir Osechkin, founder of the Gulagu.net prisoner rights group, citing inmates and their relatives that his group had contacted.
It's not the first time that authorities have used such a tactic, with the Soviet Union employing “prisoner battalions” during World War II.
Nor is Russia alone. Early in the war, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised amnesty to military veterans behind bars if they volunteered to fight, although it remains unclear if anything came out of it.
In the current circumstances, Osechkin said, it isn't the Defense Ministry that's recruiting prisoners — instead, it was Russia’s shadowy private military force, the Wagner Group.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, an entrepreneur known as "Putin’s chef” because of his catering contracts with the Kremlin and reportedly Wagner's manager and financier, brushed aside reports that he personally visited prisons to recruit convicts, in a written statement released by his representatives this month. Prigozhin, in fact, denies he has any ties to Wagner, which reportedly has sent military contractors to places like Syria and sub-Saharan Africa.
According to Osechkin, prisoners with military or law enforcement experience were initially offered to go to Ukraine, but that later was extended to inmates with varying backgrounds. He estimated that as of late July, about 1,500 might have applied, lured by promises of big salaries and eventual pardons.
Now, he added, many of those volunteers — or their families — are contacting him and seeking to get out of their commitments, telling him: "I really don’t want to go.”
According to the woman whose boyfriend is serving his sentence at the penal colony in St. Petersburg, the offers to leave the prison are "a glimmer of hope” for freedom. But she said he told her that of 11 volunteers, eight died in Ukraine. She added that one of the volunteers expressed regret for his decision and doesn’t believe he will return alive.
Her account couldn't be independently verified, but was in line with multiple reports by independent Russian media and human rights groups.
According to those groups and military lawyers, some soldiers and law enforcement officers have refused deployment to Ukraine or are trying to return home after a few weeks or months of fighting.
Media reports about some troops refusing to fight in Ukraine started surfacing in the spring, but rights groups and lawyers only began talking about the number of refusals reaching the hundreds last month.
In mid-July, the Free Buryatia Foundation reported that about 150 men were able to terminate their contracts with the Defense Ministry and returned from Ukraine to Buryatia, a region in eastern Siberia that borders Mongolia.
Some of the servicemen are facing repercussions. Tabalov, the legal aid lawyer, said about 80 other soldiers who sought to nullify their contracts were detained in the Russian-controlled town of Bryanka in the Luhansk region of eastern Ukraine, according to their relatives. Last week, he said that the Bryanka detention center was shut down because of the media attention.
But the parent of one officer who was detained after trying to get out of his contract told the AP this week that some are still being detained elsewhere in the region. The parent asked not to be identified out of safety concerns.
Tabalov said a serviceman can terminate his contract for a compelling reason — normally not difficult — although the decision is usually up to his commander. But he added: “In the conditions of hostilities, not a single commander would acknowledge anything like that, because where would they find people to fight?”
Alexandra Garmazhapova, head of the Free Buryatia Foundation, told the AP that soldiers and their relatives complain of commanders tearing up termination notices and threatening “refuseniks” with prosecution. As of late July, the foundation said it had received hundreds of requests from soldiers seeking to end their contracts.
“I’m getting messages every day,” Garmazhapova said.
Tabalov said some soldiers complain that they were deceived about where they were going and didn’t expect to end up in a war zone, while others are exhausted from fighting and unable to continue.
Rarely, if at all, did they appear motivated by antiwar convictions, the lawyer said.
Russia will continue to face problems with soldiers refusing to fight, military analyst Michael Kofman said, but one shouldn't underestimate Russia's ability to “muddle through ... with half-measures.”
“They’re going to have a lot of people who are quitting or have people who basically don’t want to deploy," said Kofman, director of the Virginia-based Russia Studies Program at the Center for Naval Analyses, on a recent podcast. "And they’ve employed a lot of measures to try to keep people in line. But ultimately, there’s not that much that they can do.”

Abu Dhabi's IHC takes $490 mln stake in Turkey's Kalyon
Fixes spelling of Kalyon throughout
DUBAI, Aug 11 (Reuters) - Abu Dhabi's International Holding Co IHC.AD on Thursday said it had acquired a 50% stake in Turkey's Kalyon Enerji for 1.8 billion dirham ($490 million) through one of its subsidiaries.
Kalyon Enerji is part of Turkey's Kalyon Holding, which has interests in construction, energy and aviation. IHC subsidiary International Energy Holding will acquire the stake, IHC said.
The transaction includes solar power projects in Turkey's Karapınar and Gaziantep regions and a wind power project in Ankara, IHC said in a statement to the Abu Dhabi stock market.
Chief Executive Syed Basar Shueb said the deal was IHC's second-biggest acquisition ever in the renewable energy sector.
Reuters reported in June that Kalyon Holding, which has large solar and wind energy concessions in Turkey, was in advanced talks with IHC to partner on strategic assets.
The Kalyon Karapınar Solar Power Plant, which is included in the deal, will be capable of meeting annual electricity needs of 2 million people once it is completed in 2023, IHC said.
The deal follows a visit last November by the United Arab Emirates' now-president, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, to Turkey where he met Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
During the visit, which followed years of animosity between the two nations, Emirati and Turkish officials signed billions of dollars in investment deals, including for energy.
IHC is chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed, the UAE's national security adviser and a brother of Sheikh Mohammed.

The Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), has revealed that the outstanding debt owed by residents of Yilo and Manya Krobo in the Eastern Region had come up to GH¢168million.
Describing it as sad, Samuel Dubik Mahama indicated that the community members need to calm down and find ways to settle that debt.
Speaking in an interview with Accra-based TV3, the MD said, “ECG buys the power from independent power producers and sells the power. The total outstanding debt in Yilo Krobo and Manya Krobo is totaling ¢168million. So it is safe to say that you and I are paying for that.
“It is very sad what is going on and they are a community, all they have to do is to come together and let us find a lasting solution today.”
The members of the two communities have destroyed some electric poles at Okwenya in the Yilo Krobo Municipality because officials of ECG have cut the power supply to the communities.
Confirming the incident, Seth Tetteh, the Assembly Man for the Okwenya electoral area said; “Our community was not affected by the cut-off by the ECG in the two Krobo Municipalities; Lower Manya and Yilo Krobo Municipalities, even though we are part of Yilo Krobo.
“[But] we experienced light out around 11:30 pm...we felt it was a usual light off. Only to wake up to find one electric power pole cut down, with a chain saw guess...
“The ECG manager and some Military personnel came to check the Power pole, they promised us that the Police will be in our community. We pray they come to fix the pole for us."
The damaged electric pole was part of a host of poles that connect electricity from Akuse to Aseseaso.
But the ECG boss, Samuel Dubik Mahama stated, “the electric pole was cut down. The truth of the matter is that electricity is a grid, it is a loop, so you don’t think that because you have seen a straight line, that is the line that goes to other side and it doesn’t go to the other side.
“The line was cut down and a group of military men and my staff went there and they have replaced that line. Conversations are still ongoing for us all to do the right thing and to restore power to the area.”

A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi described its black dress protest against price rise as "black magic", Congress on Thursday announced stepping up its agitation against price rise with a 'Mehangai Par Halla Bol' rally in the national capital on August 28, which will be preceded by protests at block, district and state level.
Congress General Secretary (Communications) Jairam Ramesh said the party is taking forward the August 5 nationwide agitation, which had "resonated" with people, against the Modi government’s anti-people policies.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s desperate attempt to tar legitimate protest as 'black magic' only highlights the BJP government’s insecurity about its failure to control rampaging inflation and unemployment," Ramesh said in a statement.
Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi also hit out at Modi saying, "Doesn't the Prime Minister see inflation? Don't he see unemployment? Stop lowering the dignity of the prime minister's post and misleading the country by talking about superstitious things like 'black magic' to hide your black deeds, prime minister-ji. You will have to give answers on people's issues."
At a function in Haryana's Panipat on Wednesday, Modi lashed out at the Congress for wearing black dresses during the August 5 protest, saying those who believe in "kala jadu" (black magic) will never be able to win the trust of the people again. Rahul and over 200 Congress leaders were detained while they attempted to march towards Rashtrapati Bhavan and gherao Prime Minister's residence on August 5.
Ramesh said the Congress will be organising 'Mehangai Chaupal' -- interactive meetings -- at markets and other locations in all Assembly constituencies from August 17 to 23 in the run up to the rally in Delhi.
State Congress Committees will simultaneously hold 'Mehangai Par Halla Bol - Chalo Dilli' events at the state, district, and block levels, Ramesh said.
"The people of India are suffering because of the Modi government’s economic mismanagement. Inflation is being exacerbated by higher taxes on essential goods like curd, buttermilk, and packaged food grains, while the transfer of public assets to crony capitalists and the introduction of the misguided Agnipath scheme are making a bad employment situation worse," he said.
The Congress will continue to spread awareness about these anti-people policies among the people and increase pressure on the BJP government to change course, he added.
