On Monday, Major League Soccer Communications announced that three team members of the Colorado Rapids were recognized for their performances during Week 24 of the 2022 season and named to the MLS Team of the Week.
Forwards Gyasi Zardes and Diego Rubio were selected to the team following their contributions in assisting the Rapids winning of two crucial games in five days. Zardes double-dipped, as he was also named MLS Player of the Week.
Zardes is the first Rapids player to win Player of the Week honors since former Rapids winger Andre Shinyashiki did in Week 27 of the 2019 season.
Along with Rubio, Zardes has helped the team to a 3-1-2 record in recent weeks. In his last six games, Zardes has scored five times and dished off one assist. Against the Loons he scored in the 7th, 15th, and 61st minute of the match, bringing his goal total this season to seven, and 94th in his stellar MLS career. To that end, he now has two hat tricks against Minnesota United.
Meanwhile, Diego Rubio has kept up his two-way pace and emerged as the team’s Comandante. His goal and two assists in the Rapids come-from-behind victory against the Red Bulls generated his sixth consecutive match with either a goal or an assist. And he didn’t stop in Harrison, New Jersey. After a quick turnaround, he scored his 11th goal of the season at home against Minnesota, tying his MLS career-high that he set in 2019.

It is a pity that he is not on the 2022 MLS All-Star Team. His hard work and leadership, both at training sessions, in the changing room, and during matchplay has kept the Rapids in the hunt for a playoff spot. He will not represent the Rapids in Minneapolis-St. Paul’s Allianz Field tonight.

Robin Fraser, was also named the team’s head coach. In recent weeks he has reshaped and refocused the Rapids from underdogs into genuine playoff contenders. Fraser has made his team into believers.
Following the Rapids win over Minnesota, he spoke of the team’s and especially Zardes’ all-out efforts. ”I am really proud to come out of that with a win. I think it’s a really important win for us just given how our season has gone and the inconsistency, the lack of back-to-back wins. It’s a big win for us in terms of gaining confidence. We talk about what we need to have a playoff mentality at this point, and for a game like this tonight, we didn’t play particularly well, but we had moments where we were very, very good and very clinical, and in the end, we win. And so for us, it’s really important. We have a lot to work on, a lot of things we need to continue to get better and better at.”
He continued, ”Gyasi’s goals epitomize somebody who was determined. And if you think about our group, we look at some of the goals we scored tonight, but Gyasi’s, in particular, were about determination.” Fraser added, about the Man of the Match, “It’s pretty unselfish to have to sprint 20 or so yards not knowing if you’re going to get an opportunity, but you might get an opportunity, and I thought those goals epitomized our performances of the last two games. It’s what we need.”
His last two outings have been exceptional. It is fair to state that this is what the Rapids front office team brought him in to do. Both performances underwrote his Player of the Week distinction.
The MLS Player of the Week is selected each week of the regular season through media and fan voting in a process conducted by MLS Communications. A panel of journalists from the North American Soccer Reporters (NASR) comprises 75 percent of the vote, while a Twitter fan vote represents the remaining 25 percent of the voting. NASR consists of members of print, television, radio, and online media.
Missing from the 18-member Team of the Week was Rapids goaltender Will Yarbrough. Rapids fans must be taken aback by Yarbrough’s omission. He turned in two performances that included late-in-the-game, 1-on-1 saves that preserved the Rapids slugfest victories over the Red Bull and Minnesota United respectfully and just as importantly, kept the team in the running for a post-season playoff berth.

Leicester trying to 'balance books' this season - Rodgers
- Published
Leicester City boss Brendan Rodgers has said his side will try to "balance the books" this season, and he has not "set any targets" as to where the Foxes will finish in the Premier League.
"If you think where we’ve finished in the last three seasons, where we’ve finished fifth (twice) and eighth, that’s been three of the top four finishes in the club’s history," Rodgers told the BBC's Kammy & Ben's Proper Football Podcast. "The other one was the iconic [league title win].
"Now the expectation is so high that eighth doesn’t seem where we should be.
"We will continue to push but we don’t have the resources. This season will be a season for us where we try to balance the books.
"Most big teams, you can see they go out and are able to spend big again. We haven’t been able to do that, we are trying to balance our books.
"My concentration is on the players we have. Players are developing and improving and then we’ll see how far up the table we get. We’ll not set any targets now but we’ll enjoy the journey and see where it takes us." | https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/cd14w64zgwvo | 2022-08-11T12:23:40Z | https://www.bbc.com/sport/articles/cd14w64zgwvo | true | 2 |

Five years ago, at the forefront of the marketing technology explosion, Scott Brinker paved the way as an industry expert by creating the MarTech Supergraphic. Since its inception in 2011, the supergraphic has evolved to illustrate the exponential growth of marketing technology as a category:
So when Scott Brinker published his 2016 Marketing Technology Landscape Supergraphic last month, the super-growth for the category became more apparent than ever before. The supergraphic alone has been shared over 3,500 times on LinkedIn and represents roughly 3,500 logos, approximately 87% more than last year alone. Although the infographic has become a credible reference point for the industry, it has also become increasingly difficult to navigate despite much effort put towards categorization. Here at Traackr, extracting signal from the noise is what we do, so we figured we’d take a crack at it…
The supergraphic is broken up into 6 clusters, including Advertising & Promotion, Content & Experience, Social & Relationships, Commerce & Sales, Data, and Management. Using Traackr, we identified the Most Influential 500 Marketing Leaders (look for an upcoming post on this) to see what they actually care about. Here some key insights we discovered:
Since 2014, content and social marketing have represented at least half of the mindshare among these marketing leaders, diminishing every other category.
Since 2014, mentions of social marketing among marketing leaders have represented 40% of the total mentions to date.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, you’ll also notice the category of “display ads” has decreased in popularity in the same amount of time. It’s no wonder traditional marketing is on the decline.
Based on this data, marketing leaders appear to be headed towards the same destination: social marketing + content marketing represents brands evolving in a strategic direction towards customer centricity. People have become influential content producers, leading the conversations in their communities. Brands, under the influence of these communities, are becoming more human and connected, and branding themselves as such (hence the explosion of sustainability marketing for example).
The challenge for companies is to transform themselves towards customer centricity. Brands must raise their marketing game by hiring top talent, developing the right skill sets, and elevating the discussion on how to transform their marketing departments. Technologies for social and content marketing, such as Traackr, will enable brands to scale elements of their programs or even be catalyst for change--but will not replace the necessity to for brands to start on the path of transformation. The lack of discussions among marketing leaders on the topic of talent management and retooling teams should raise eyebrows as it shows that only a few have identified the transformational need and will embark on this journey before most will.
We enjoyed playing around with the data in Traackr to make sense of Brinker’s awesome infographic. Expect more insights in the weeks to come.
So, based on these insights, what marketing activities will you prioritize? And are they among the trending topics among marketing leaders? What do you think about the data presented from our analysis in Traackr? We’d love to hear your opinion, start a conversation in the comments below. | https://www.traackr.com/blog/2016-martech-supergraphic-says-marketing-leaders | 2022-08-11T12:30:23Z | https://www.traackr.com/blog/2016-martech-supergraphic-says-marketing-leaders | true | 1 |

DDH 22-021 intersected a near-surface, high-grade silver interval of 17m at 365 g/t AgEq (5.2 g/t AuEq - comprised of 355 g/t Ag and 0.14 g/t Au) in oxides starting at a down-hole depth of only 53 metresThis included a bonanza-grade 5m interval of 1,037 g/t AgEq (14.8 g/t AuEq - comprised of 1,022 g/t Ag 0.21 g/t Au);
-
DDH 22-022 intersected multiple zones of high-grade gold mineralization, including a broad intercept of 34m at 156 g/t AgEq (2.2 g/t AuEq - comprised of 18 g/t Ag and 1.98 g/t Au);
-
DDH 22-024 intersected near-surface, high-grade silver mineralization including a broad intercept of 43.5m grading 196 g/t AgEq (2.8 g/t AuEq - comprised of 188 g/t Ag and 0.11 g/t Au) in oxides starting at a down-hole depth of only 68.5 metres. The hole included a bonanza-grade interval of 4m at 1,423 g/t AgEq (20.3 g/t AuEq - comprised of 1,410 g/t Ag 0.18 g/t Au);
John Miniotis, President and CEO, commented, "We are very encouraged by the numerous near-surface, high-grade silver results intersected in the Northeast zone by these latest drill holes, as well as the underlying high-grade gold intercepts. These results will be included in the updated Mineral Resource estimate which will be announced later this year. It is evident that the multiple zones of mineralisation being encountered in the Northeast zone should add substantially to our overall Mineral Resource estimate which continues to grow rapidly."
Dave O'Connor, Chief Geologist, commented, "These new results, drilled in the Oculto Northeast zone, help clearly demonstrate the continuity of numerous mineralized breccia zones in this highly prospective area. What is particularly encouraging is the newly discovered shallow, high-grade silver mineralization encountered in holes 21 and 24, which is expected to allow for a substantial expansion of the conceptual open pit towards the northeast.
Furthermore, these latest intercepts are located over 1km along strike from the newly discovered Southwest zone, announced on August 3rd, highlighting that we are successfully expanding high-grade mineralisation in both directions beyond the current Oculto Mineral Resource and along multiple breccia zones."
The latest assay result highlights are summarized in Table 1 below.

Discussion of Drill Hole Results
Hole DDH 22-021 intersected numerous zones of high-grade oxide mineralisation, commencing with a near-surface, high-grade silver zone consisting of 17 metres grading 355 g/t Ag and 0.14 g/t Au starting from a down hole depth of only 53 metres. The hole was stopped in sulphide mineralization and encountered a high-grade copper and gold interval of 67 g/t Ag, 1.26 g/t Au and 2.49% Cu over 1 metre, at a down-hole depth of 305 metres.
Hole DDH 22-022 was drilled outside of the proposed open pit shell and successfully intersected multiple zones of high-grade gold mineralization. The highlight intercept consisted of 34 metres grading 18 g/t Ag and 1.98 g/t Au, including 10 metres of 26 g/t AG and 3.39 g/t Au. The hole was terminated when it reached sulphide mineralization, with high-grade copper and gold intercepts, consisting of 2 metres at 24 g/t Ag, 3.72 g/t Au and 0.61% Cu, and an additional 2 metres grading 8 g/t Ag, 0.79 g/t Au and 1.22% Cu.
Hole DDH 22-024 intersected multiple zones of high-grade silver and gold mineralization, including 43.5 metres grading 188 g/t Ag and 0.11 g/t Au, starting from a down hole depth of only 68.5 metres. The hole intersected numerous broad zones of high-grade mineralization which is expected to help further expand the Mineral Resources in this area.
Mineralisation in the Northeast zone is controlled by several structures hosting siliceous breccias, including the North Breccia Zone, the West Breccia Zone and the Main breccia Zone, see Figure 1 below. These mineralised zones are open towards the northeast where historical drilling indicates that they have considerable strike extent. The structures are particularly well mineralised where the breccias coalesce and these areas represent our main drill targets for higher grade mineralization. The newly discovered shallow silver zone also represents a prime exploration target as this is expected to allow for an expansion of the conceptual open pit.

QA/QC and Core Sampling Protocols
AbraSilver applies industry standard exploration methodologies and techniques, and all drill core samples are collected under the supervision of the Company's geologists in accordance with industry practices. Drill core is transported from the drill platform to the logging facility where drill data is compared and verified with the core in the trays. Thereafter, it is logged, photographed, and split by diamond saw prior to being sampled. Samples are then bagged, and quality control materials are inserted at regular intervals; these include blanks and certified reference materials as well as duplicate core samples which are collected in order to measure sample representivity. Groups of samples are then placed in large bags which are sealed with numbered tags in order to maintain a chain-of-custody during the transport of the samples from the project site to the laboratory.
All samples are received by the SGS offices in Salta who then dispatch the samples to the SGS preparation facility in San Juan. From there, the prepared samples are sent to the SGS laboratory in Lima, Peru where they are analyzed. All samples are analyzed using a multi-element technique consisting of a four acid digestion followed by ICP/AES detection, and gold is analyzed by 50g Fire Assay with an AAS finish. Silver results greater than 100g/t are reanalyzed using four acid digestion with an ore grade AAS finish.

Players’ leadership proves effective even on a newcomer-heavy roster
Entering the 2022 preseason, many questions needed to be addressed, one of which was how effective the team’s leadership could be. After all, with a revamped roster for the 2022 season that includes 43 new players, this aspect is one that could potentially create apprehension. Nonetheless, the early indications in preseason camp are painting a much different picture.
This 2022 season will be senior offensive linemen LaDarius Henderson’s fourth season donning the maroon and gold, making him a perfect fit to be one of the leaders for the Sun Devils, and Henderson’s guidance has been exemplified countless times during preseason camp. Whether discussing play execution with a teammate play or keeping one’s emotions in check, Henderson is always there to ensure these August practices go as smoothly as possible.
“To be quite honest, I’ve never really minded it because that’s just what we did in high school,” Henderson said. “Our head coach, Jon Kitna, he was just a person that wanted to breed leaders. We had a Leadership Council in high school. I was a captain there. And it was all about accountability, team, and discipline. And then we got here. It’s like, you know [when] you have extremely high expectations for college so, the first time you see one person do something that isn’t correct, you’re like, ‘what’s going on?’ That’s kind of how our culture was in high school.
“So when I got here, it’s kind of like, ‘you’re not getting extra work on Saturday? What’s going on?’ Even if I saw one person do it. So just when our seniors left, like I told you, we were senior heavy your freshman year, I feel like it was just like a role that needed to be filled there. So I don’t mind it at all.”
The benefit of being molded into a leader is that a player like Henderson has to change very little in his demeanor once that title is given to him. The second nature of that role makes the veteran lineman that much more successful in the duties he needs to carry out.
“The thing is, I feel like a lot of things I’ve been doing this year, I did last year now. I just have a patch on my jersey,” Henderson explained. “So it’s more like attention for it, but really not much has changed...I mean, it’s not a solo thing. Like I have teammates like [redshirt junior offensive linemen] Ben Scott, and we have guys like [graduate offensive linemen] Des Holmes, it makes me being a leader easy. We have guys that just want to be great and want to attack every day. You don’t have to try to really, really motivate somebody that isn’t motivated like these guys are motivated.
“So they honestly make it easy for me. Des Holmes, he’s another guy. He can honestly be a captain. To have two guys like that on the offensive line is phenomenal.”
A theme that has been prevalent in this year’s Sun Devil squad is the concept of a player-led program. Coaches encourage the players to take charge rather than wait on the staff’s instruction. A way to accomplish this feat is creating a leadership council, which is made up of the players who are more than ready to address any issues on or off the field that require the proper guidance to resolve.
“It’s been great. We talked about a lot of things,” Henderson commented. “Specifically, this entire summer, we’re like, ‘hey, our coaches, they don’t play. They can run us as much as they want. They can drill us as much as they want. But what are we really going to do to hold each other accountable for these penalties? What are we really going to do to make sure our team is moving in the positive direction with so many people leaving this team? Even though we’re gaining so many people, what are we going to do to make sure that the people that we’re gaining understand the culture that we want to set here?’
“So that’s just the type of conversations that we have. Me and [redshirt fifth-year senior linebacker] Kyle Soelle, and we just make it happen. When the new guy comes in, we’re right on it right away. We have guys that are amazing that just got here like [redshirt sophomore defensive back] Ro Torrence. He just comes in [and] [redshirt junior quarterback] Emory [Jones]. These guys just come in, adopt the culture, and then spread it out. Then they implemented it to other people, and I think that makes a good team.”
***
Henderson’s direction is needed throughout practice, but where it shines the most is when players compete directly with one another. There have been multiple instances where the offensive lineman can be seen coaching up a peer who is rotating between groups, which is crucial to this season. The volume of bodies and talent on this year’s roster has made this take more manageable for the players on the front five.
“We have so much depth on the o-line,” Ben Scott said. “Everyone’s rotating in. Everyone’s playing in different positions and stuff like that. It’s a great feeling to have, right, because the previous years we had a set line. We didn’t know what our backups were…This year, we’re rotating the starters [and] rotating the bench. We have a lot of versatility. We just need to find that vibe and who plays the best. And it’s hard because everyone’s going... There’s been big like jumps in players’ games [from spring to fall camp], especially in the o-line, so it’s a good thing to see.”
Much like recent seasons, ASU figures to offensively once again be a run-heavy team, which in turn puts even more emphasis on the performance of the team’s offensive line. Their current running back duo, graduate running back Xazavian Valladay and redshirt sophomore running back Daniyel Ngata, have received a lot of praise during the off-season. Valladay rushed for over 1,000 yards at Wyoming last season, and Ngata rushed for 309 yards on 56 carries.
“Now I feel like we have two good backs. I feel like since I’ve been here, we’ve always had really one good running back,” Henderson said. “[former ASU running back] Eno [Benjamin], [former ASU running back] Rachaad [White]. And now we have both of those guys back there. And [Valladay and Ngata] have such different running styles. But they’re just so efficient at what they do. And then it’s kind of whenever they don’t have a good run the o-line, we kind of take it upon ourselves like, ‘man; we let them down because we know what they can do.’ It’s not like they’re just straight up missing holes or anything because they’re talented guys. So those are the guys. I feel like, you know, those guys that you might look at and be like, you don’t show me enough to really believe in? That’s not those guys. We really believe in X and Danny.”
***
While the emphasis on the run game is a given in ASU’s game plan each week, the Sun Devil offense does want to be more diverse and have their tight ends be relied upon more in the passing game than they have been in previous years. Redshirt sophomore tight end Jalin Conyers has been working on becoming more versatile with his skill to fit into offensive coordinator Glenn Thomas’ new scheme.
“It’s just been trying to get better in the run game again,” Conyers described. “Coming in last year, I was looked at more like receiving big guy, like come in make plays. Now this year, it’s kind of more of a dual role where I gotta be able to block and run at the same time...just trying to get better all-around as a tight end.
“Whether it’s in the run blocking game in the pass game, or whatever it takes, [the tight ends are] just trying to be reliable at the end of the day.”
Conyers was one of the more reliable guys on the roster during Wednesday’s practice, as he caught a touchdown from Emory Jones and ran for the pylon for a touchdown. The offense totaled nine touchdowns in team segments that day but arguably, what was more impressive was the avoidance of an interception, a facet that showed up often in the preceding August sessions.
“We had a great day offensively,” Conyers noted. “I think, respectively, our defenses are great. Gonna be the number one in the [Pac-12] this year, but I think we kicked their tail today. I think coming into practice, we had a chip on our shoulder like, we want to come out and be aggressive and know that make plays against them whether it’s on a jump ball, whether it’s running post on scoring.
“We just wanted to be explosive. That’s gonna be our thing this year. We’re gonna run the ball, and then we’re going to throw it down your throat too. So it was a good day for the offense. It’s exciting. I caught a couple of balls. A lot of tight ends caught a lot of receivers like we didn’t have very many drops today, so it was exciting to see.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — When the honky tonks close down on Broadway, another round of work ramps up.
“These guys come down here with a purpose, a sense of urgency,” said Nashville Downtown Partnership Operations Supervisor Joshua Hillen. “When we come in, we’re cleaning up the party from the night before.”
The Downtown Nashville Partnership’s Clean and Safe team starts with pressure washing alleyways and block faces at around 3 a.m. So far this year, the team has used 115,000 gallons of water to pressure wash 720 alleyways and 994 block faces.
“We blitz Broadway, make sure all the curb lines, all the cigarette butts. We want everybody to come down here, have fun, and then we’re going to come in [and] we’re going to clean everything up,” Hillen said.
Then the rest of the team starts working at 6:30 a.m.
“If for one day we weren’t here, it would be a complete mess,” Hillen said, explaining their job serves everyone on Broadway. “Not just work, not just visitors, but people who live here as well.”
He continued, “We’re getting up big trash. We’re also continuing efforts on the pressure washing, looking for graffiti. The graffiti removal is a big thing. We always want to make sure that we’re coming down here, putting eyes on it, remove it, get it out, so that by the time all the business owners get here it’s already gone.”
| READ MORE | Latest headlines from Nashville and Davidson County
To date, the team has removed 1,680 graffiti tags from downtown businesses and public spaces. They’ve also removed over 602,000 pounds of garbage from downtown trashcans.
The safety aspect of their duties is vital, with ambassadors logging 7,000 miles on Segways looking for challenging situations to help visitors.
“If you need directions anywhere, we’re going to help out with that,” said Hillen. “We want to make sure, not only everybody else is safe down here, but also I want to keep my guys safe. So, we got to keep our head on a swivel.”
The Nashville Downtown Partnership deploys most of their services in the footprint of the central business improvement district. Their clean and safe services are funded through annual assessments on privately owned properties within the footprint.
“These guys are on foot. We’ve got heavy machinery down here,” said Hillen. “They’re out here bustin’ their humps every single day – seven days a week.”
After working for the Nashville Downtown Partnership for several years, Hillen explained that he appreciates their role in more ways than one.
“It’s given me the opportunity to get my life back. I got a beautiful wife, just bought a house, and if it wasn’t for the partnership, I wouldn’t be where I’m at today,” he said. | https://www.wkrn.com/news/broadway-nashville/602000-lbs-of-waste-removed-from-broadway-trashcans/ | 2022-08-11T12:42:40Z | https://www.wkrn.com/news/broadway-nashville/602000-lbs-of-waste-removed-from-broadway-trashcans/ | true | 1 |
NEW DELHI – The Indian capital reintroduced public mask mandates on Thursday as COVID-19 cases continue to rise across the country.
The New Delhi government reinstituted a fine of 500 rupees ($6) for anyone caught not wearing a mask or face covering in public.
India's Health Ministry said 16,299 new cases were recorded in the past 24 hours nationwide, with a positivity rate of 4.58%. Nearly 2,150 infections were reported in New Delhi.
On Wednesday, New Delhi reported eight deaths due to the coronavirus, the highest in nearly six months. People in most parts of the country began discarding face masks as infections dropped following two devastating earlier waves of COVID-19.
New Delhi’s top elected official, Arvind Kejriwal, said that COVID-19 cases were on the rise but there was no need to panic because most of the new cases were mild.
India started vaccinating people in January 2021 and has administered over 2.04 billion doses, including first, second and booster doses. More than 94% of the eligible population (12 years and older) has received at least one shot, and 86% are fully vaccinated.
Most experts believe India’s official death toll of more than 414,000 is a vast undercount, but the government has dismissed those concerns as exaggerated and misleading. | https://www.click2houston.com/health/2022/08/11/mask-mandates-return-in-new-delhi-as-covid-19-cases-rise/ | 2022-08-11T12:46:07Z | https://www.click2houston.com/health/2022/08/11/mask-mandates-return-in-new-delhi-as-covid-19-cases-rise/ | false | 36 |

The opening match of the Women's Hundred 2022 will see the Oval Invincibles Women (OVI-W) face the Northern Superchargers Women (NOS-W) at the Kia Oval in London on Thursday, August 11.
Defending champions Oval Invincibles will start this edition as the hot favorites, owing to a star-studded squad at their disposal. The Invincibles have decent depth and balance, with Dane van Niekerk leading them yet again. The Northern Superchargers, on the other hand, perhaps boast the best top order in the competition. Although both teams look evenly-matched on paper, the Invincibles will start as the favorites, owing to home conditions. With both teams eager to hit the ground running, a cracking game beckons at the Oval.

Today's OVI-W vs NOS-W Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Alyssa Healy: Alyssa Healy did not have the best of Commonwealth Games campaigns, but remains one of the best players on the women's circuit. Her ability to consistently tee off from ball one is what sets her apart from the rest. With some valuable experience under her belt as well, Healy could be backed to score some runs today.
Batter
Laura Wolvaardt: Laura Wolvaardt had a decent Hundred campaign last time around, forming a fine partnership with Jemimah Rodrigues. She is a good player of both pace and spin and possesses the power game to excel in the final phase of an innings. With Wolvaardt having a decent record in English conditions, she is a good addition to your OVI-W vs NOS-W Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Dane van Niekerk: Dane van Niekerk was the standout player for the Oval Invincibles in their trophy-winning 2021 campaign. She starred with both the bat and ball, often coming up with clutch performances at times of need. Although Niekerk has not played much this year, her skill-set and experience should make her a must-have in your OVI-W vs NOS-W Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Linsey Smith: Linsey Smith was perhaps the Northern Superchargers' best bowler in the previous edition, impressing with her accuracy. She has been a consistent performer on the English domestic circuit and can also add value with the bat down the order. Given the conditions on offer, Linsey is a genuine threat with the ball, making her one to watch out for in this game.

An Elim man accused of murdering his ex-wife and making it look like a suicide has gone on trial at the Swellendam Circuit Court.
Shocking court documents have revealed that Ashley October tried to contract convicted child killer, Reagan Zietsman, to kill his ex-wife Charlene after their divorce.
Charlene’s lifeless body was found in a huiswinkel run by Ashley at her home in Protea Street on 12 July 2021.
According to the indictment, Ashley is charged along with his employee, Tashwill van der Rheede, for her murder and the duo have both pleaded not guilty.
Court documents reveal that back in 2011 Ashley had plotted to kill Charlene and asked his employee, Ashley Kerr, to break into her house and stab her and slit her throat but he refused.
A year later while Zeitsman worked for him, he offered him money to go into her house and kill her and make it look like a housebreaking and rape.
Zeitsman went into the house to execute the murder but became too emotional and left.
In 2019, Zeitsman was arrested for the murder, kidnap and rape of six-year-old Delvina Europa whose body was found in a bush near her school.
A year later he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two life terms and 13 years’ imprisonment by the Bredasdorp Magistrates’ Court.
According to the indictment Ashley and Charlene’s divorce was finalised in 2015 but six years later she allowed him to run a huiswinkel from her home.
The state alleges that on the night of 11 July, Tashwell and Ashley attacked her and killed her with a rope.
They then allegedly hung her from a wooden beam to make it look like she had committed suicide.
Various witnesses will take the stand in Swellendam before the matter is moved to the Cape High Court later this month. | https://www.dailyvoice.co.za/news/ex-wife-killer-on-trial-610d845b-3166-4bff-b685-2ee9af78e84c | 2022-08-11T12:48:16Z | https://www.dailyvoice.co.za/news/ex-wife-killer-on-trial-610d845b-3166-4bff-b685-2ee9af78e84c | false | 1 |
Amy Hart has hit out at fans who've mocked her for meeting wedding planners - despite not being engaged.
The Love Island star, 30, is currently in Spain with her boyfriend Sam Rason and asked her followers whether anyone knew of any wedding planners in the Marbella, Malaga or La Cala area.
Amy was quick to point out she wasn't yet engaged, telling fans they hadn't missed anything - however, she was subsequently trolled on Instagram.
"Why are you looking at wedding venues if you aren't even engaged?," one fan asked.
While another suggested over-egging the pudding would spoil the excitement when the proposal happens for real.
Taking to her Stories, Amy said: "Wow people are triggered!
"We're out there for two weeks and need to work out if it's viable to do it in Spain. We know we wanna get married and when, we won't be back out there in time to secure somewhere good if we wait.
"I was 28 when I met Sam and he was 33. By the third or fourth date we knew if it was worth pursuing.
"We know 're gonna get married, we're in Spain and won't be back until next September. You need to strike while the iron's hot."
Amy then added: "One more thing. It was actually Sam who said we should look at venues while we're here so before people think I'm a nutter dragging him down the aisle - it was actually his idea!"
The former air stewardess is eagerly awaiting the moment her boyfriend proposes to her and says she keeps dropping huge hints.
Amy went public with her romance with Sam last year and is keen to tie the knot with the tech entrepreneur.
However, she insists she wants a traditional proposal and is prepared to wait for one.
The bubbly blonde shot to fame on series five of Love Island before quitting after being left heartbroken by then-partner Curtis Pritchard.
Thankfully, Amy now appears to have found the love of her life in 'nice man' Sam.
Speaking to Mail Online, the star admitted she was eager for a ring on her finger, saying: "It's up to Sam. I've got to wait for him to propose. My hints haven't even been subtle. We've been together like 15 months.
"It will happen in good time, he's a very nice man, I'm very very lucky."

After 50 years governed by the Texas Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association, water polo is being adopted as an official sport by the UIL beginning this fall season.
“It’s something TISCA has wanted,” said Richmond Foster coach Kassy Parker, who enters her third season leading the aquatics program. “People have worked really hard to get it UIL. It’s exciting because it means there’s more growth in the sport. It means more attention, and now younger kids will grow up knowing it’s an option for them. It’s really cool.”
Three years after winning a state championship, Foster’s girls team placed third at state last season. The boys team finished second in 2019, when the girls won it all.
Foster joins Baytown Sterling, Cypress Creek, Clear Creek, Clear Lake, Humble, St. Agnes and Clear Brook as Greater Houston area teams with girls water polo state championships. On the boys side, Clear Lake, Baytown Sterling, Clear Creek, Cypress Creek, Humble, North Shore, Strake Jesuit and Tomball have state titles. Brazoswood and Bridgeland are also perennial area powers.
Last season, Foster’s girls earned the highest Houston-area finish at state in May (the season will now be played during the fall).
“Obviously we want to win, but every team does,” said senior Lola Trujillo, an all-state first team selection last season. “We’re going to try to get everyone on the same page and try our best. Every team is going to do the same and it’s going to be a fight for first place.”
The Foster water polo program’s success was initiated by coach Scott Slay, the man responsible for coaching the Falcons girls to the state title.
Slay, now the head coach at Katy Jordan and the highly-regarded Viper Pigeons club program, built the Foster program from the ground up and was critical in growing the sport in the southwest Houston area.
“It got younger kids on board,” Parker said. “So, we get kids who’ve been playing the sport for a while.”
Senior Dalia Kohn said the Viper Pigeons program has been vital.
“They have a great coach,” Kohn said. “It’s an amazing environment. We’re all trying to build each other up. That club has really helped our school because everyone here joins it, gets better during the summer and when the season starts, we’re all already on the same page.”
Parker was an assistant at Stratford for four years before she was hired to succeed Slay. She currently has 14 girls and 30 boys, mostly sophomores, in the water polo program. She said it’s easier to get boys involved. Girls tend to enjoy the sport once they try it, but it can look intimidating to parents and athletes from the outside.

The majority of athletes in the Foster water polo program come from the swim team but Parker is optimistic she can recruit more from other sports now that it is sanctioned by the UIL. She said swimmers with a background in basketball and/or softball tend to make for good water polo players.
Trujillo had a gymnastics background.
“I got bored, and my sister was always a swimmer,” Trujillo said. “When she got to Foster, Slay got her into water polo. I started swimming and she got me interested. I came to practice and thought, ‘Hey, this is pretty cool.’
“It’s a lot of different sports combined while having the swimming aspect. Every game is different. With swimming and gymnastics, it’s the same thing every time you compete. With water polo, everyone plays different, teams play differently. You see something new every time and you have to figure out what to do.”
Coaches and athletes think the popularity of a sport said to be “a combination of soccer and rugby in the water” will grow considerably now that the UIL is involved.

“In past years, water polo hasn’t been a big sport,” Kohn said. “No one knows of it, we have to pay for everything, we’re doing everything ourselves. Even our school doesn’t recognize water polo as much as football or basketball, which is understandable, but now that it’s UIL, we’ll get recognized more.
“More stuff will get done. It’ll get more exposure. There will be more media. More people will get interested. More clubs will start. More teams will start. Just this year alone for high school, there’s tons and tons more teams.”
But the UIL’s strongest influence may come in the pockets of participants.
Coaches and players feel the sport will grow in participation now that funds are being covered. Along with equipment, players were also responsible for their own transportation and paying for hotels to and from games.
Trujillo said players would drop out of the sport because it was too much of a financial burden on families.
“Previous years, we’ve had to pay for everything ourselves,” Trujillo said. “It’s great the UIL is recognizing us as a sport and we’ll get the funds so it won’t be trouble for us to pay for stuff.”

A typical water polo game is more physical and aggressive than many people think, Parker said. It is a battle of attrition for four quarters. The depths of the pools differ and are unique to each respective facility.
Foster’s practice pool is 7 ½ feet deep. The Lamar Consolidated ISD natatorium is 12 feet deep.
“If you have never watched water polo before, it’s definitely exciting,” Parker said. “Obviously I’m biased, but I think it’s the world’s most fun sport to play. It’s aggressive but it takes a lot of technical and tactical skill. People are shocked that you’re not standing in the water. You’re treading the whole time. If you come from a basketball background, you’ll recognize similarities, like, ‘Oh, they ran a pick.’”
Foster’s girls are once one of the favorites to come away with a state championship this season.
Trujillo and Kohn are offensively and defensively gifted and two of the best players in the Greater Houston area. Junior Clara McKee is a force in the cage. Sophomore Kinley Niles is a precocious talent and mature beyond her years. Sophomore Emma Woods is also a central figure.
“We all have the intention to win,” Kohn said. “Last year, we could’ve won state. We felt it was taken from us. This year, we’re not getting second or third. We’re all coming together and working to get first.” | https://www.click2houston.com/sports/2022/08/11/as-uil-adopts-water-polo-foster-girls-eyeing-another-state-title/ | 2022-08-11T12:49:30Z | https://www.click2houston.com/sports/2022/08/11/as-uil-adopts-water-polo-foster-girls-eyeing-another-state-title/ | false | 1 |
(The Hill) — The stunning FBI search of former President Donald Trump’s Florida residence this week has inspired a fierce backlash on the right, fueling concern among experts about the escalating risk of political violence.
The response among Trump supporters has ranged from sharp criticism over the Justice Department’s tactics to outright incendiary rhetoric, with Trump himself comparing the search of his home to the Nixon-era burglary of the Watergate complex.
Some of Trump’s most fervent backers described this week’s legal development as reflecting a country in the midst of civil war, and in isolated cases some far-right extremists called for mobilization in response to what was depicted as an act of tyranny by lawless federal agents.
Although the FBI’s search was based on a warrant approved by a federal judge, that did not stop Republicans from claiming the probe arose from a desire to damage President Joe Biden’s main rival rather than potentially criminal conduct linked to Trump.
“The GOP’s choice to turn a probe into the mishandling of classified documents into a cause célèbre is dangerous, particularly given Trump’s history of calling on private violence, mobs, and militias for support,” said Rachel Kleinfeld, senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. “A democracy cannot allow anyone to be above the law.”
It may be unsurprising that a criminal investigation linked to Trump, the de facto Republican Party leader and a possible 2024 contender, would spark an impassioned response. At the same time, even the most provocative political speech, short of an incitement to violence, enjoys broad protections under the First Amendment.
But outrage over the FBI search of Trump’s home comes at a particularly tense moment in American politics, as the share of partisans who think violence is sometimes justified to achieve political ends has grown significantly. According to researcher Nathan Kalmoe, around one in five partisans say violence by their own party is at least a little justified to advance its goals.
“More partisan violence looks likely in the future, especially in response to particularly tense moments like the one Trump has escalated here,” said Kalmoe, a professor at Louisiana State University who has tracked the rising support for political violence.
In the immediate aftermath of the FBI search at Mar-a-Lago, a swift backlash arose from a chorus of voices across the right.
Experts said that a specific, concerted plan for real world action hasn’t emerged, but warned that officials should keep a close eye on the tense online vitriol.
One prominent alt-right figure, Jack Posobiec, posted a series of inflammatory posts this week on Telegram, including one with more than 62,000 views that the “federal security state has declared war on Donald J Trump and his supporters.”
According to Alyssa Kann, a research associate at the Digital Forensic Research Lab, some of Posobiec’s messages have been posted in domestic extremist channels, where users are also talking about taking up arms, mobilizing and targeting the FBI.
The incendiary posts haven’t been contained to fringe sites. Posobiec, who has 1.8 million followers on Twitter, tweeted Wednesday that “Our government has been take over by a Deranged Eunuch Class. It is up to us to displace them and dismantle their corrupt apparatus.”
Steven Crowder, a conservative commentator with 1.9 million Twitter followers, tweeted Monday night “Tomorrow is war. Sleep well.”
Twitter has not taken action on those posts or the accounts. A spokesperson for the company did not respond to a request for comment.
The violent rhetoric is spreading across alternative social media sites too, such as Gab, Parler, Getter, which boast little to no content moderation policies and attract right wing audiences — especially users banned from the mainstream sites.
Collectively, the posts that have emerged online, across platforms, highlight a “nice little shopping list of far-right narratives,” said Jared Holt, senior research manager at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD).
“It’s like a big firehose of incendiary content that has kind of blown back towards the news item in these spaces,” he said.
Even as the rhetoric has grown more intense, the distance from the political fringe to the political mainstream has shortened.
According to Kann, inflammatory rhetoric that once may have been confined to fringe sites and from far-right figures has been embraced even by politicians with large followings on mainstream platforms like Twitter and Facebook, a dynamic which “emboldens” far-right influencers to be “even more violent,” she said.
“It also mainstreams that sort of violent rhetoric to the everyday person, which is really scary to think about,” Kann said.
Outspoken far-right lawmaker Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-Ga.) tweets have added to the right-wing chorus, with the political firebrand calling to “defund” the FBI, casting the raid as “tyrannical” and likening the situation to action in a “civil war.”
Shannon Hiller, executive director of Princeton’s nonpartisan Bridging Divides Initiative, which seeks to track and mitigate political violence, said American politics was in a “sensitive moment,” one that called for leaders to tamp down tensions, not heighten them.
She pointed to Govs. Larry Hogan of Maryland and Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas as examples of Republican leaders who, though critical of DOJ’s lack of transparency, had expressed their views without further inflaming political discourse, unlike some of their GOP colleagues.
“I do think that other GOP leaders who wink and nod to extremist rhetoric are playing with fire,” she said. “We know from other research that leaders calling for calm and rejecting violence has a positive effect on reducing risk, that’s what we should be calling for from all our leaders now.”
Trump, for his part, has continued to use his megaphone to ratchet up the temperature. On Wednesday, the former president suggested, without evidence, that federal agents had planted evidence on his property, again depicting himself as the victim of a shadowy “raid.”
Legal experts refuted Trump’s depiction of the FBI operation, and underscored the stakes of the investigation — as well as the backlash.
“Even though a judge issued the search warrant for Trump’s home, which requires a finding of probable cause that a crime was committed and that evidence would be found on the premises, Trump and his supporters are going on the offensive and engaging in heated rhetoric that DOJ has somehow treated Trump improperly,” said Barbara McQuade, a law professor at the University of Michigan, who spent seven years as a federal prosecutor during Barack Obama’s presidency. “It is amazing to me how many people are willing to take the bait.”
“I think the risk of civil unrest is very real, but DOJ cannot let that fear prevent it from enforcing the law,” she added, calling the Jan. 6 attack a “sobering” reminder not to underestimate “the threat of political violence by those who support Donald Trump.”
Experts noted a key difference between online posts ahead of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol and fallout from the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago. While the run-up to the Jan. 6 attack saw the emergence of a specific plan, posts circulating online this week have lacked the same concerted tie to a specific time and place.
At least not yet, said Holt, of ISD, who added that the security situation would continue to be closely monitored.
“We’re starting to track some calls for protests, we’ve seen a couple kind of floated around, but nothing’s really centralizing at this point,” he said. “There have been at least a couple instances where this has inspired extremists to call for protests or call for mobilization. We’re going to keep an eye on that and see how that evolves.” | https://www.mystateline.com/news/pro-trump-backlash-to-fbi-search-fuels-concern-over-political-violence/ | 2022-08-11T12:49:53Z | https://www.mystateline.com/news/pro-trump-backlash-to-fbi-search-fuels-concern-over-political-violence/ | false | 21 |

Big Mac is coming back: McDonald’s to reopen in Ukraine
CHICAGO (AP) — McDonald’s will start reopening some of its restaurants in Ukraine in the coming months, a symbol of the war-torn country’s return to some sense of normalcy and a show of support after the American fast-food chain pulled out of Russia.
The burger giant closed its Ukrainian restaurants after Russia’s invasion nearly six months ago but has continued to pay more than 10,000 McDonald’s employees in the country.
McDonald’s said Thursday that it will begin gradually reopening some restaurants in the capital, Kyiv, and western Ukraine, where other companies are doing business away from the fighting. Western businesses like Nike, KFC and Spanish clothing retailer Mango are open in Kyiv.
“We’ve spoken extensively to our employees who have expressed a strong desire to return to work and see our restaurants in Ukraine reopen,” Paul Pomroy, corporate senior vice president of international operated markets, said in a message to employees. “In recent months, the belief that this would support a small but important sense of normalcy has grown stronger.”
The Ukrainian economy has been severely damaged by the war and restarting businesses, even in a limited capacity, would help. The International Monetary Fund expects Ukraine’s economy to shrink by 35% this year.
McDonald’s has 109 restaurants in Ukraine but didn’t say how many would reopen, when that would happen or which locations would be the first to welcome back customers. Over the next few months, the company said it will start working with vendors to get supplies into restaurants, prepare those stores, bring back employees and launch safety procedures with the war still raging to the east.
While it will start to reopen in Ukraine, McDonald’s has sold its 850 restaurants in Russia to a franchise owner. That came three decades after McDonald’s opened its first location in Moscow, becoming a powerful symbol of easing Cold War tensions.
McDonald’s had shuttered hundreds of Russian locations in March, costing the company about $55 million per month. Selling its Russian restaurants was the first time the company has “de-arched,” or exited a major market.
Alexander Govor, who held a license for 25 McDonald’s outposts in Siberia, has begun reopening former McDonald’s locations under the name Vkusno-i Tochka, or Tasty-period.

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump’s pick for governor in the swing state of Wisconsin easily defeated a favorite of the Republican establishment.
In Connecticut, the state that launched the Bush family and its brand of compassionate conservatism, a fiery Senate contender who promoted Trump’s election lies upset the state GOP’s endorsed candidate. Meanwhile in Washington, Republicans ranging from Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell to conspiracy theorist Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene defended Trump against an unprecedented FBI search.
And that was just this week.
The rapid developments crystalized the former president’s singular status atop a party he has spent the past seven years breaking down and rebuilding in his image. Facing mounting legal vulnerabilities and considering another presidential run, he needs support from the party to maintain his political career. But, whether they like it or not, many in the party also need Trump, whose endorsement has proven crucial for those seeking to advance to the November ballot.
“For a pretty good stretch, it felt like the Trump movement was losing more ground than it was gaining,” said Georgia Republican Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan, who is urging his party to move past Trump. But now, he said, Trump is benefiting from “an incredibly swift tail wind.”
The Republican response to the FBI’s search of Trump’s Florida estate this week was an especially stark example of how the party is keeping Trump nearby. Some of the Republicans considering challenges to Trump in a 2024 presidential primary, such as Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, were among those defending him. Even long-established Trump critics like Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan questioned the search, pressing for details about its circumstances.
But even before the FBI showed up at Mar-a-Lago, Trump was gaining momentum in his post-presidential effort to shape the GOP. In all, nearly 180 Trump-endorsed candidates up and down the ballot have won their primaries since May while fewer than 20 have lost.
Only two of the 10 House Republicans who supported Trump’s impeachment after the Jan. 6 insurrection are expected back in Congress next year. Rep. Jaime Herrera-Beutler, R-Wash., who conceded defeat after her Tuesday primary, was the latest to fall. Leading Trump antagonist Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is at risk of joining her next week.
The Trump victories include a clean sweep of statewide primary elections in Arizona last week — including an election denier in the race for the state’s chief elections official. Trump’s allies also prevailed Tuesday across Wisconsin and Connecticut, a state long known for its moderate Republican leanings.
In Wisconsin’s Republican primary for governor, wealthy Trump-backed businessman Tim Michels defeated former Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, an establishment favorite. And in Connecticut, Leora Levy, who promoted Trump’s lie that the 2020 election was stolen, surged to an unexpected victory over a more moderate rival after earning Trump’s official endorsement.
On Monday, just hours after the FBI search, Trump hosted a tele-town hall rally on her behalf. Levy thanked Trump in her acceptance speech, while railing against the FBI’s search.
“All of us can tell him how upset and offended and disgusted we were at what happened to him,” she said. “That is un-American. That is what they do in Cuba, in China, in dictatorships. And that will stop.”
Despite his recent dominance, Trump — and the Republicans close to him — face political and legal threats that could undermine their momentum as the GOP fights for control of Congress and statehouses across the nation this fall.
While Trump’s picks have notched notable victories in primaries this summer, they may struggle in the fall. That’s especially true in several governor’s races in Democratic-leaning states such as Connecticut and Maryland, where GOP candidates must track to the center to win a general election.
Meanwhile, several Republicans with White House ambitions are moving forward with a busy travel schedule that will take them to politically important states where they can back candidates on the ballot this year and build relationships heading into 2024.
DeSantis plans to boost high-profile Republican contenders across Arizona, New Mexico, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Former Vice President Mike Pence, another potential 2024 presidential contender, is scheduled to appear next week in New Hampshire.
On the legal front, the FBI search was part of an investigation into whether the former president took classified records from the White House to his Florida residence. While Republicans have rallied behind Trump, very few facts about the case have been released publicly. Trump’s attorneys have so far declined to release details from the search warrant.
Prosecutors in Washington and Georgia are also investigating Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election he falsely claimed was stolen. The Jan. 6 congressional commission has exposed damning details about Trump’s behavior from Republican witnesses in recent hearings, which have prompted new concerns, at least privately, among the GOP establishment and donor class.
And on Wednesday, Trump invoked his Fifth Amendment protection against self-incrimination as he testified under oath Wednesday in the New York attorney general’s long-running civil investigation into his business dealings.
Trump’s legal entanglements represent a distraction at best for Republican candidates who’d rather focus on President Joe Biden’s leadership, sky-high inflation and immigration troubles to help court moderate voters and independents in the general election.
“Today, every Republican in every state in this country should be talking about how bad Joe Biden is, how bad inflation is, how difficult it is to run a business and run a household,” said Duncan, the Georgia lieutenant governor. “But instead, we’re talking about some investigation, we’re talking about Donald Trump pleading the Fifth, we’re talking about Donald Trump endorsing some conspiracy theorist.”
Trump critics in both parties are ready and willing to highlight Trump’s shortcomings — and his relationship with midterm candidates — as more voters begin to pay attention to politics this fall.
“This is, and always has been, Donald Trump’s Republican Party,” Democratic National Committee Chair Jaime Harrison said in an interview, condemning “MAGA Republicans” and their “extreme agenda” on abortion and other issues.
At the same time, the Republican Accountability Project and Protect Democracy launched a $3 million television and digital advertising campaign this week across seven swing states focused on Trump’s role in the Jan. 6 insurrection. The ads, which will run in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, feature testimonials from Republican voters who condemn Trump’s lies about nonexistent election fraud that fueled the Capitol attack.
One ad features congressional testimony from Cheney, the Wyoming Republican who has publicly declared that Trump should never hold public office again.
Still, Cheney faces her own primary election against a Trump-backed challenger next week in Wyoming. One of Trump’s top political targets this year, she is expected to lose. Anticipating a loss, Cheney’s allies suggest she may be better positioned to run for president in 2024, either as a Republican or independent.
Trump’s allies are supremely confident about his ability to win the GOP’s presidential nomination in 2024. In fact, aides who had initially pushed him to launch his campaign after the November midterms are now encouraging him to announce sooner to help freeze out would-be Republican challengers.
“It’s going to be very difficult for anyone to take the nomination away from him in 2024,” said Stephen Moore, a former Trump economic adviser who has spoken with Trump about his 2024 intentions. “He is running. That is a certainty.”
Rep. Tom Rice, R-S.C., predicted that Trump would “lose in a landslide” if he sought the presidency again, adding that the former president’s overall grasp on the party is “eroding on the edges.”
“In a normal election, you’ve got to win not just the base. You’ve got to win the middle, too, right, and maybe crossover on the other side,” said Rice, who lost his recent primary after voting in favor of Trump’s second impeachment.
Rice warned that Trump far-right candidates could lead to unnecessary losses for the party in November. “Donald Trump is pushing things so far to the right,” he said in an interview.
Meanwhile, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, eyeing a 2024 bid himself, warned against making bold political predictions two years before the Republican Party selects its next presidential nominee.
“We’re sitting here in August of 2022,” Christie said in an interview. “My sense is there’s a lot of water over the dam still to come before anybody can determine anybody’s individual position in the primaries of ’24 — except to say that if Donald Trump runs, he will certainly be a factor.”

The 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.”

Commodities are a broad category that covers agricultural products like wheat, corn, and soybeans. It also includes oil and derivative products such as gasoline, natural gas, and diesel fuel.
However, investing in commodities also covers precious metals such as gold and silver as well as base metals like copper and aluminum. And more recently, this sector includes items like lithium that will be needed in many of the emerging sectors of our economy.
Commodities trading is frequently done by trading contracts on the futures market. And it's not for faint-of-heart investors. Prices are volatile and can change quickly due to macroeconomic events.
However, at certain times, particularly in times of high inflation, commodities outperform the broader market. A practical alternative for individual investors looking to profit from commodities is to invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These funds give investors exposure to this sector while reducing the risk that comes from investing in any single commodity.
Here are seven ETFs that you can buy to help build a hedge against inflation.

- Aug. 11 is "811 Day" – a day dedicated to the importance of calling 811 at least three business days before digging begins
- Piedmont Natural Gas and Duke Energy reported damage to underground natural gas and electric lines nearly 5,000 times this year
- Calling 811 helps prevent injuries, outages, costly repairs – keeping everyone safer
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Aug. 11 is officially "811 Day," and as residents continue summer yard projects, Piedmont Natural Gas and Duke Energy want to remind everyone to call 811 before digging to prevent potential personal injury and avoid electric and natural gas outages.
"Keeping our customers safe and protecting our underground utility infrastructure are top priorities," said Sasha Weintraub, Piedmont Natural Gas senior vice president and president. "Even simple digging jobs can cause serious injuries and disrupt vital utility services to communities, so it is important to call 811 to prevent unnecessary and potentially dangerous situations and outages in our communities."
The national "811 Call Before You Dig" system was created so anyone who plans to dig can make a free call to have underground utility lines clearly marked. Contractors, homeowners, business owners and anyone preparing for a digging project should call 811 at least three business days before digging begins. The local utilities will then send a crew to mark underground lines in the area (electric, natural gas, water, sewer, phone, cable TV and others) with stakes, flags or paint.
From January to June 2022, Piedmont and Duke Energy reported damage to 4,967 natural gas and electric lines in their service territories (North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee and Indiana).
More specifically, Piedmont and Duke Energy reported 1,766 cuts to underground natural gas facilities in North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Ohio and Kentucky. And Duke Energy reported around 3,201 damages to its underground electric network in all its service territories. In 2021, Piedmont and Duke Energy reported nearly 9,800 cuts to natural gas and electric lines.
"Our best defense is awareness and ongoing education to call 811 before you dig," added Weintraub. "We are committed to sharing this message with our customers and communities to avoid these accidents."

Arjun Tendulkar Seeks NoC From Mumbai, Likely To Play For Goa Next Season
Arjun, who has also been a part of IPL franchise Mumbai Indians, have played two games for Mumbai, during the 2020-21 edition of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy
- Press Trust of India
- Updated: August 11, 2022 05:10 PM IST
Legendary Sachin Tendulkar's son Arjun is all set to leave Mumbai and in all likelihood will ply his trade for south-western neighbours Goa in the next domestic season. The 22-year-old left-arm pacer, who has also been a part of IPL franchise Mumbai Indians, have played two games for Mumbai, during the 2020-21 edition of Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy against Haryana and Puducherry respectively. It has been learnt that Tendulkar junior has already applied for No Objection Certificate (NoC) from his home association MCA.
"Getting maximum game time on the ground is important for Arjun at this juncture of his career. We believe that the shift will improve the probability of Arjun featuring in more competitive matches. He is embarking on a new phase of his cricketing career," SRT Sports Management said in a statement.
Tendulkar has played two 'Tests' for the India U-19 against Sri Lanka, three summers back and has featured in the Mumbai probables for the white ball leg of the domestic season even this time.
For Tendulkar, the biggest disappointment has been getting dropped from the Mumbai squad this season without being given a chance to prove his mettle.
People who have monitored his progress feel that the youngster has the right attitude and work ethic but does need consistent game time to showcase what he is capable of.
He has recently been a part of Mumbai Indians' developmental squad that played a lot of T20 games in England.
The likes of Kumar Kartikeya, Anmolpreet Singh, Ramandeep Singh, Dewald Brevis were all part of the squad that played T20 games against club sides.
A senior Goa Cricket Association (GCA) did acknowledge that Tendulkar junior is expected to be considered among state's pre-season probables.
"We have been looking out for left-hand bowling talent as also add players to the middle order with multiple skills. In this context, we invited Arjun Tendulkar to join the Goa side. We will be playing pre-season trial-matches (white ball) and he will be playing in those games. The selectors will then take a call based on his performance," Goa CA president Suraj Lotlikar told PTI.
Among the other Indian cricket legends from Munbai, whose son have plied trade for other states, the notable was Sunil Gavaskar's son Rohan, who in fact moved to Bengal as a 18-year old and finished as one of the state's highest run-getter and also captained in multiple seasons.
When it comes to Goa, before Tendulkar's son, another former India captain's son had briefly appeared.
Promoted
It was Mohammed Azahrauddin's som Mohammed Asaduddin, who had played a couple of Ranji Trophy games in 2018 season.

Taiwan Cancels Pre-flight COVID-19 Testing Requirement For Inbound Travelers
Mohammad Ali (@ChaudhryMAli88) Published August 11, 2022 | 04:10 PM
TAIPEI, Aug. 11 (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 11th Aug, 2022 ) --:Starting from Monday, all travelers coming to Taiwan will no longer be required to present a negative nucleic acid test result effective within two days ahead of the flight, according to the island's disease monitoring agency.
The inbound travelers will subsequently have three days of isolation and four days of self-prevention after landing in Taiwan, said the agency in a statement.
Taiwan has gradually loosened COVID-19 response measures as the epidemic in the island is on the decline. It has shortened the duration of isolation for inbound trips from seven days to three days since June.

Senior-level appointments tapped to help company chart next stage of strategic growth in the bot management, account security, and online fraud detection sector
SAN MATEO, Calif., Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Arkose Labs, the global leader in fraud deterrence and account security, today announced three executive-level appointments. Prashant Nirmal has joined the company as Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). He will report directly to founder and CEO Kevin Gosschalk and have a seat on the executive leadership team. Heather Zynczak former CMO of Pluralsight and Domo has been appointed to the Board of Directors, and Wil Bolivar, CTO of Softbank Investment Advisers, joins the Board of Directors in the role of Observer.
A seasoned CMO, Nirmal boasts deep security industry experience and is known for developing transformational marketing strategies combined with an innovative approach to operations. He takes the helm as Arkose Labs' marketing chief to further distinguish the company's position in the marketplace and drive profitable revenue-generation opportunities that accelerate growth. He is responsible for the global marketing function, including demand generation strategy, business development, brand programs, corporate communications, and product marketing.
"Nirmal is a proven leader with deep experience in the cybersecurity space and knows how to connect with our key buyers in a way that enables their success," said Gosschalk. "His go-to-market expertise coupled with his knowledge of the challenges and opportunities CISOs face every day will be of enormous value as we take Arkose Labs to the next level."
"Consumers' online accounts are one of the most lucrative attack points fraudsters are targeting today," said Nirmal. "Arkose Labs provides the leading technology solutions that are essential for weeding out bad actors from good users, ensuring that fraudsters don't profit from attacks and that consumers have a care-free online experience. I'm honored to join the executive ranks at Arkose Labs to support the company's mission and growth goals."
In addition to Nirmal's hire, the company appointed Heather Zynczak to the Board of Directors. Zynczak has deep marketing experience built on the foundation of an MBA from The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and decades of experience in leading growth initiatives at technology businesses. She currently serves on the Board of three software companies, including Demandbase, Thryv, and ExpertVoice. Earlier in her career she worked for Fortune 500 companies Oracle and then SAP before being tapped to lead the global marketing functions as CMO at startups Domo and Pluralsight, where she founded Women of Pluralsight. Of the current six Board members, Zynczak is the second woman director alongside Dafina Toncheva, of U.S. Venture Partners. Gosschalk noted her appointment reflects the company's commitment to diversity.
"Throughout the past quarter, Heather has been advising our company's marketing efforts, bringing strategic and process innovation as well as decisive guidance to the function," Gosschalk said. "Due to her firm understanding of our company and the marketplace, she also helped steer the search and selection of our new marketing chief."
In July, the company added Wil Bolivar as Board Observer. A seasoned, senior-level technology executive, Bolivar currently serves as CTO at Softbank Investment Advisers. Bolivar will leverage his new appointment to support Arkose Labs' expansion and reach into the marketplace to assist the company in realizing its ultimate goal. Softbank Vision Fund 2 led Arkose Labs's Series C $70 million capital raise, which closed in May 2021.
"Wil brings a new point of view to Arkose Labs' Board of Directors," Gosschalk said. "Every day he walks in the shoes of our most senior-level buyers. I'm looking forward to him helping us anticipate the business issues CTOs, CIOs, and CISOs will be dealing with in the next 12 to 18 months to ensure we are aligning our solutions where they and their peers are taking their companies."

Louth Water Safety issues advice during sunny spell
Chairperson of the Louth branch of Water Safety Ireland, Cllr Andrea McKevitt, is issuing an appeal for individuals to be vigilant when visiting beaches and lakes over the coming days.
"It's only natural that many people will be flocking to the beach to cool down and enjoy this fabulous weather we are experiencing in Ireland", said Cllr McKevitt, "but it is so important, that we always respect the water and know our own limits’’
Cllr McKevitt continues, "we are extremely lucky here in Louth to have three Blue Flag beaches; Clogherhead, Port and Templetown, these beaches will be manned by lifeguards daily from 11am to 6pm daily. A few key things to watch out for: check the tide times, you don’t want to get caught, ensure you make yourself aware of any currents, rip tides or other dangers on the beach you choose, don’t swim too far out to sea instead swim parallel to shore.
"Please do not use floatable devices in the sea - these items drift out to shore. Have respect and do what the lifeguards advise and always pay attention to the signs displayed at bathing spots. If in doubt or if you feel unwell, please don’t go swimming, be mindful this weekend and always [recognise] that by putting yourself in danger you run the risk of putting others in danger too."
Cllr McKevitt added, "lets have a safe fun time enjoying the much needed sunshine, check out the Water Safety Ireland website for more information."

LEHI, Utah, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Carketa, the Utah-based developer of SaaS applications that allows automotive dealerships to sell more vehicles in less time for more profit, today announced technology investor and operator Tim Hansen as CEO.
Hansen has spent his career advising, investing in, and operating software companies. After a successful run investing in or sourcing early-stage companies at Pelion Venture Partners and Peterson Ventures, including Allbirds, Divvy, Lucid Software, and Ethos Life Insurance, Hansen served as VP of Corporate and Business Development at Weave Communications, Inc. which successfully went public in November 2022.
Co-founder Brady Thurgood, who has been serving as CEO of Carketa, will continue to build out the revenue function of the company. Thurgood explained, "As Carketa continues to grow and expand throughout the automotive and powersports industry we are so excited to welcome Tim to the Carketa Team. His vast experience will help expedite the vision of Carketa at hyper speed."
As co-founder and CEO of Carketa, Thurgood raised more than $7M in venture capital funding, including a $6M Series Seed round in November 2021 led by Origin Ventures and Crosslink Capital. Since launching in 2019, Carketa has built a base of 500+ customers and has facilitated the inspection, reconditioning, and disposition of tens of thousands of vehicles through its software platform.
"Carketa is making waves in an otherwise slow-to-innovate industry. The number one barrier to growth for automotive dealerships is the working capital tied up in inventory that needs to be prepared for sale and then sold," said Hansen. "Carketa helps dealers unlock that working capital by accelerating inventory turns, cutting waste in spend, and providing better transparency to all stakeholders in the car buying process. I'm so excited to be working with a team that has such a wealth of knowledge in this industry and a hunger to help automotive dealerships take full advantage of modern technology to grow their bottom line."
"We invested in Carketa because their software delivers real value to dealerships. Founder Jason Berry created this software because he knew the needs of his own dealership, Action Auto, which has become one of the fastest growing dealerships in Utah," said Scott Stern, Partner at Origin Ventures. "Both Jason and Brady have done an incredible job as first-time founders finding product market fit and getting Carketa into hundreds of dealerships. We are excited to pass the baton to Tim who immediately caught the vision and potential of Carketa. His depth of experience in the SaaS world will allow Carketa to continue its rapid growth."
Carketa is an easy to use, automated inventory and reconditioning software platform that helps dealerships manage every car's progress, eliminate bottlenecks, and ultimately sell more cars faster. A dealership simply uploads their inventory from their Dealer Management Software (DMS) and can easily manage their vehicles anywhere, from purchase to frontline ready, often selling the car before it even reaches the lot.
This software also impacts the end customer. By scanning a QR code on the windshield, the customer is given insight and transparency into the history of the car. This brings increased trust and efficiency to the sales process.
Additionally, Carketa includes a wholesale marketplace for the disposition of vehicles. "Carketa has helped my dealership set record-setting sales months even through COVID," says Berry.
Origin Ventures is a nationwide early-stage venture capital firm investing in software, marketplace, and consumer companies that cater to Digital Natives. It was an early backer of BacklotCars.
Crosslink Capital is based in San Francisco and led Carketa's Pre-Seed round in August 2020. Jim Feuille, Partner at Crosslink explains, "We have watched Carketa make a major difference to its customers since launching their first product and we are excited for the next of many chapters together. We are building a category-defining company."

BB recommends using credit cards over cash abroad
The Bangladesh Bank has recommended people to use credit cards instead of cash when travelling abroad in a move to save dollars.
Central bank spokesperson Serajul Islam said, "The number of expatriates leaving the country this year, is higher than those coming in, resulting in a decrease in dollar inflow. That is why the Bangladesh Bank encourages those who are going abroad for various purposes including medical, education and travel to use credit cards, instead of dollars in cash."
Bangladesh is currently facing a dollar crisis due to high imports against exports. The government has taken various measures to curb imports.
Letter of credit (LC) settlements fell by $1.17 billion in the past month, as the government tried to ease pressure on foreign exchange reserves amid imports outpacing exports.
According to the report, LC settlement was $6.58 billion in July, down from $7.53 billion in the previous month of June. The LC settlements fell by 9.23% during the one-month period.
Besides, banks opened LCs worth $5.55 billion in July, a decrease from the $7.96 billion registered in June. As a result, the LC opening decreased by 30.20% in July.
The spokesperson said, "In FY22, the central bank sold $7.7 billion to banks. The country's reserve dropped to $39.5 billion on Wednesday because of continuous dollar sales to meet import bills. Since July this fiscal year, dollar sales from the reserve have stood at $1.49 billion." | https://www.tbsnews.net/economy/bb-recommends-using-credit-cards-over-cash-dollar-abroad-475486 | 2022-08-11T13:25:08Z | https://www.tbsnews.net/economy/bb-recommends-using-credit-cards-over-cash-dollar-abroad-475486 | false | 1 |

Farah N. Jan, University of Pennsylvania
(THE CONVERSATION) This month marks the 75th anniversary of Pakistan’s independence and of its Partition from British India in a devastating process that uprooted more than 15 million people and resulted in 1 million to 2 million dead. Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs – communities that had coexisted for hundreds of years – all participated in the sectarian violence. Countless people have borne the scars from these events over multiple generations.
Mohammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan, sought to create a democratic, egalitarian and secular country where the Muslims of the subcontinent, who constituted about 25% of the population, could enjoy full equality. For most of his life, he sought to achieve this equality within an undivided Hindu-majority India. Later he became convinced that a separate homeland was necessary to realize such equality.
Today, widespread and escalating violence against Indian Muslims under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s right-wing, Hindu-nationalist rule seems to confirm Jinnah’s fears.
Jinnah died just a year after Pakistan was born. As a scholar of South Asia, I know that in the years that followed, the military and the business elite consolidated their power and helped shape a country that bears little resemblance to his vision – although many continue to fight for it.
Pakistan today
Ideology and religion are divisive forces in Pakistan today – from sectarian violence against Shia Muslims to the state’s blasphemy laws that authorize a death sentence for anyone who insults Islam. Religion, as interpreted by the state, plays a significant role in politics and governance. An example of its harmful role can be seen in the deterioration of the rights of Ahmadis, members of a religious minority targeted by the state.
Other religious minorities also face discrimination, with Christians subject to particularly harsh treatment. According to Pew Research statistics, 75% of Pakistanis say blasphemy laws are necessary to protect Islam, while only 6% say blasphemy laws unfairly target minorities.
Pakistan also remains on a turbulent political and economic trajectory. The army has been in direct control of the state for most of its existence, with four military coups and decades of military rule since 1958. The military and notorious intelligence services remain in direct control of domestic and foreign policy, making decisions to protect their power and economic interests, including vast commercial holdings.
Economically, Pakistan has lagged behind other developing countries, with debt as high as 71.3% of its GDP. Inequality is high, with the top 10% of households owning 60% of the national wealth, and the bottom 60% owning just 10%.
The elite evade taxes on a massive scale, contributing to the country’s economic instability. While millions live in dire poverty and hunger, the government’s spending to mitigate poverty is among the lowest in the region. Dissidents, human rights activists and journalists face censorship and repression.
Jinnah had hoped for much better.
Jinnah: An advocate for Muslims in British India
Born in Karachi in 1876 to a Muslim family, Jinnah was first educated at a local Muslim school and later at Karachi’s Christian Missionary Society High School.
At 16, Jinnah was sent to London, where he decided to study law. After returning to India, he established himself in Bombay as a successful and eloquent lawyer.
Jinnah joined the Indian National Congress in 1906, becoming part of the largest Indian political party organizing for independence from British colonial rule. At this time, he was the foremost proponent of Hindu-Muslim harmony in India and pursued a strategy of a unified front against the British.
He considered himself “a staunch Congressman” and rejected political organizing that separated Muslims and Hindus in India. Accordingly, Jinnah delayed joining the All-India Muslim League, the political party formed to represent the rights and concerns of the Muslims of British India, until 1913. For years he remained a member of both parties.
Jinnah’s concerns over Hindu nationalism
Jinnah’s faith in the Congress party would wane, and he resigned in 1920. He was increasingly concerned with Congress’ growing emphasis on India’s Hindu identity and the lack of political representation for the country’s Muslim minority.
Jinnah was also deeply disturbed by the emergence of right-wing Hindu nationalist groups like the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or RSS, a violent paramilitary group that drew inspiration from European fascist parties, opposed Muslim-Hindu unity and increasingly sought to force Muslims to convert or leave India.
In 1934, Jinnah was unanimously elected as the president of the Muslim League, and he continued to advocate for the rights of Muslims in a unified India. He did not embrace dividing the Indian subcontinent into separate Muslim-majority and Hindu-majority areas until the 1940s.
In this period, escalating sectarian violence stoked by both Hindu and Muslim right-wing groups, and Congress’ refusal to accept a federation in which Muslim-majority regions enjoyed greater political representation, contributed to foreclosing an alternative to partition. During this period, Jinnah stressed that Muslims would never enjoy security and full equality in the Hindu-majority nation.
Jinnah eventually led the Muslims of India to form a nation of their own with the creation of Pakistan in 1947. He insisted that this new nation be a secular democratic country with equal rights for all who resided there.
Jinnah’s vision for a secular Pakistan
Jinnah emphasized the necessity of secular education to improve social and economic conditions in the Muslim community, argued for equality between the sexes and advocated for the discarding of the parda, or veil.
Jinnah did not write a book or memoir, but his speeches give an insight into his vision for Pakistan. Notably, his speech a few days before becoming Pakistan’s first president, delivered on Aug. 11, 1947, expressed his secular aspirations for the newly formed country. In it he stressed: “You are free; you are free to go to your temples, you are free to go to your mosques or to any other place of worship in this State of Pakistan. You may belong to any religion or caste or creed – that has nothing to do with the business of the state.”
Four days later, on Aug. 14, 1947, British India was divided into the independent nations of Pakistan and India. As the first president of Pakistan, Jinnah again emphasized his secular vision for the new country, saying, “We are starting in the days where there is no discrimination, no distinction between one community and another, no discrimination between one caste or creed and another. … We are all citizens and equal citizens of one State.”
Jinnah’s dream unrealized
Jinnah’s achievement remains a significant milestone of the 20th century. But 75 years later, Pakistan is far from the country he envisioned.
People from the region, nostalgic for a unified country and cognizant of the suffering during Partition and beyond, sometimes express that it might have been better if they had not been divided based on their religious identity but had instead continued the struggle for a pluralistic society with equal rights for all. Others maintain that Jinnah was right to conclude that Muslims in India were bound to face continued violence and be treated as second-class citizens in a Hindu-majority country.
What is certain is that Jinnah’s dream of a compassionate homeland for the minorities of the subcontinent remains unrealized. But glimmers of it have lived on in movements and people who have gone on to dream of a more equitable, inclusive and just Pakistan.
For example, Christian and Muslim landless farmers in the Peasant Movement, one of the largest and most successful land rights movements in South Asia, have resisted violent efforts to quash their demands for a more equitable society. Some 80,000 lawyers were part of the Lawyers Movement, which challenged the power of the military and fought for a free and independent judiciary. And individuals such as human rights activist Sabeen Mahmud have paid with their lives for their dream of a just and pluralist Pakistan.
And while today’s Pakistan is far from Jinnah’s vision, the work of these people and movements reflects the famous words of Pakistan’s most celebrated revolutionary poet, Faiz Ahmed Faiz: “We must [continue to] search for that promised Dawn.”

New Initiative to Break Down Barriers to Sport Participation and Financial Literacy in Underserved Communities
CHICAGO, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- TeamSnap, the leading provider of team management software and online community for everything youth sports, today announced its partnership with Goalsetter, an award-winning and groundbreaking fintech platform dedicated to providing families and K-12 youth with access to banking, savings, investing, and financial education tools.
This strategic alliance between TeamSnap and Goalsetter will help drive the TeamSnap Impact mission, making it possible for youth in underserved communities to have equal access to quality sports programs, so all kids can reap the benefits that sports participation and physical activity bring. To maximize the power of this partnership, TeamSnap and Goalsetter will jointly use the revenue generated from family sign-ups toward TeamSnap Impact efforts, supporting community partners nationwide.
TeamSnap Impact and Goalsetter are committed to working together to help youth teams and sports programs build stronger communities and brighter futures through an increased participation in sports and focus on both physical and financial well-being. To download the Goalsetter app and support TeamSnap Impact efforts, visit the Apple App Store or Google Play Store and use referral code: TEAMSNAP.
"Our mission with TeamSnap Impact is to increase access to quality sports programs, which we know is strongly tied to improved goal-setting among youth. Together with Goalsetter, we're committed to driving the connection between improved goal-setting from youth sports participation and setting goals for financial success. I'm confident that together we'll be able to positively impact the trajectory of the next generation. That's how we all win," said Greg Ludke, VP of Corporate Strategy & Development for TeamSnap.
To make the most impact in leveling the playing field, TeamSnap Impact has centered its initiatives around policy formulation, direct funding and technology grants. They are focused on improving access to quality sports programs—regardless of race, gender, religion or socio-economic status—so all young athletes can experience sport at all stages of life. TeamSnap and Goalsetter are aligned on addressing the number of challenges facing today's youth, especially in underserved communities.
"The work we are doing with TeamSnap is a critical part of achieving our mission at Goalsetter because we understand that to effectively address disparities and change the economic trajectory of our communities requires taking a holistic approach that ensures their physical, mental, emotional and financial well-being," said Tanya Van Court, founder and CEO of Goalsetter. "Together, TeamSnap and Goalsetter are working to help our youth establish the healthy behaviors we know will serve them and their own children for generations to come by putting them on the path to wellness, both physically and financially."

Participation in youth sports aids children in the development and improvement of cognitive skills, according to a study that tracked kids from kindergarten through fourth grade (Piche, 2014). Additionally, physical activity in general is associated with improved academic achievement, and can have a positive impact on attitudes and academic behavior, including improved concentration, attention, and improved classroom behavior (GAO, 2012). Other positive effects include increased mental health, decreased risk of obesity and improvements in goal setting skills.

The fight for the top four, every stadium stoush, every jab traded by these two clubs about perceived arrogance - it was all rendered almost meaningless before the opening whistle in Penrith on Thursday night.
Because the result of the Melbourne Storm’s 16-0 win over the Penrith Panthers in front of 15,612 at BlueBet Stadium paled in significance to the death of NRL premiership-winning coach Paul Green.
Round 22 opened with a minute of silence to remember the former North Queensland Cowboys and Queensland Maroons mentor whose death has left the rugby league world in mourning.
Johnathan Thurston was supposed to be at the venue for commentary duties with Nine. He was on the first flight back to Townsville after hearing the news of his former coach’s passing.
If only for 80 minutes, the game of rugby league tried to provide a welcome sight.
It was a Melbourne highlight reel as Penrith were held scoreless for the first time since June 2015 - also against the Storm. Cameron Munster was brilliant. Justin Olam was kicking infield for Nick Meaney to score, Brandon Smith was finding holes in the Penrith defence like it was Swiss cheese, and David Nofoaluma was diving over for his first try in Storm colours. Nelson Asofa-Solomona put in a big shift on the right edge to contain Viliame Kikau.
Melbourne were always in command. They constantly turned Penrith away and looked like the Storm of old, just three weeks after coach Craig Bellamy conceded “I’m not confident we can turn it around” after four consecutive losses.
The victory is a boost for Melbourne’s top four hopes as they move two points clear of Parramatta. The Eels play South Sydney on Friday night but will do well to rein in the Storm’s superior points differential in the coming weeks.
Munster was at his damaging best and will play a huge role in their September hopes. Winger Xavier Coates impressed and was denied a staggering try by the barest of margins before half-time.
Both played under Green during his time as Queensland coach in last year’s State of Origin series. Munster was Green’s five-eighth. On this night, he was Bellamy’s fullback.
He is one of the Melbourne mentor’s great luxuries. The competition’s premier five-eighth and will wear No.6 for Mal Meninga’s Australian team at the World Cup later this year. But so impressive is Munster in the No.1 that former teammate Cameron Smith thinks he could be a top three fullback in the game.
The premiership frontrunners were heavily depleted. Nathan Cleary, Jarome Luai and James Fisher-Harris are all sidelined while Charlie Staines was called in to fill a void left at fullback by Dylan Edwards.
Now coach Ivan Cleary is sweating on the fitness of Liam Martin in the run to the finals after the Penrith back-rower was left on crutches with a suspected syndesmosis injury on his left ankle suffered during the second half.
The Panthers dominated possession during the second half but couldn’t crack the last line of defence. Brian To’o and Sunia Turuva were bundled into touch on the edges. Balls were stripped from Penrith’s grasp over the line.
These two sides could meet again in week one of the finals, and you get the sense it will be a different tale then.

PINEDALE — In time to account for this past calving season and this summer’s grazing, the Farm Service Agency just upped the ante for losses of very young beef cattle and bison by raising compensation for young under 250 pounds, in the Livestock Indemnity Program.
The Farm Service Agency already helps reimburse producers whose livestock are killed by wolves and bears in the state’s predator management zone — and with good record-keeping — poisonous plants, drought and bad weather.
FSA Administrator Zach Ducheneaux of South Dakota announced the increase for a beef calf under 250 pounds from $175.27 to $474.38 per head. For bison, compensation rose from $336.84 to $599.15 per head.
Updated LIP payment rates take effect immediately and will be applied retroactively starting Jan. 1, 2022, for all eligible causes of loss including excessive heat, tornado, winter storms and other qualifying natural disasters.
Under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the FSA offers a wide range of federally funded programs, including pre-filled applications for emergency loans and grants. FSA compensated for above-normal costs to haul water to drought-stricken livestock and added compensation to haul feed to livestock and livestock to forage or other grazing acres.
FSA will invest $10 million for agriculture-oriented taxpayer education plus $4.5 million in outreach for the Conservation Reserve Program’s "Transition Incentives Program to help beginning and socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers access land.”
In Wyoming, FSA also announced the new Big Game Conservation Partnership pilot that “rewards landowners for providing valuable ecological services for the public good, including direct compensation through 10- to 15-year habitat leases.”
In Sublette, Teton, Lincoln, Park, Fremont and Hot Springs counties, USDA is investing $15 million for stewardship activities:
Conserve big game habitat and sustain working ranches for future generations through the Agricultural Conservation Easements Program to ensure land is not subdivided, mined or developed.
Enhance rangeland and water resources for wildlife and livestock through the Regional Conservation Partnership Program to help landowners repair wet meadows or eroding streams, get rid of invasive weeds and replace or remove fences so wildlife can move easily.
Foster healthy native plants and productive grazing land through the Grassland Conservation Reserve Program, paying landowners an annual habitat lease in exchange for keeping native grasslands intact while still grazing livestock. This novel pilot rewards landowners for providing valuable ecological services for the public good, including direct compensation through 10- to 15-year habitat leases.
With a habitat lease, ranchers can make “a reasonable livelihood producing agricultural products while also keeping habitat healthy and whole.”
This Wyoming pilot also allows landowners to receive Farm Bill payments from both the Natural Resources Conservation Service and the Farm Service Agency for the first time. A rancher could use EQIP to manage invasive cheatgrass and then use Grasslands CRP to maintain native plants after weed treatment.
The USDA collaborates with Wyoming Game and Fish, the Wyoming Wildlife and Natural Resource Trust and others.

Long-term and affordable residential rentals are being eradicated from our county, especially from the coastal zone. We must preserve those we still have. Oceano has a few left on Pier Avenue. However, their tenants are being disproportionately impacted by State Parks' visitors.
Tenants must suffer beach visitors in need of parking unlawfully using their private parking spaces or blocking their driveway and mailboxes. The most obnoxious and aggressive are State Parks' patrons, beach drivers, and campers stopping on their way to the beach to deflate their tires and on their way back to inflate them. Many of them are not friendly to locals, especially those who complain about their presence. Friends of Oceano Dunes, a lobbying organization for beach driving and off-roading, has been under investigation for illegal fundraising. In a recent public statement, their president called those locals the "Enemy." Many of us have already been threatened and harassed.
To worsen things, State Parks is closing the beach entrance at Grand Avenue for two months in the middle of summer. More than a thousand vehicles a day will crowd Pier Avenue, the only access to the beach. We do not oppose this construction project. We want State Parks to reduce the number of vehicles allowed onto the beach through Oceano by at least half during this construction period. The Oceano beach community is being overburdened and submerged. Please give us a break!

Palestinian Detainee Khalil Awawdeh’s Life at Stake
By Staff
Palestinian detainee Khalil Awawdeh's health is deteriorating as his hunger strike surpasses 160 days, with possible permanent brain damage, doctors warned on Thursday.
Awawdeh is using a hunger strike to protest his administrative detention without trial.
“Waed” Association for Palestinian Detainees and Ex-detainees held the ‘Israeli’ occupation full responsibility for the life of Awawdeh, pointing to that anger is dominant in the prisons amid the ‘Israeli’ occupation’s negligence to treat him in a suitable place.
Awawdeh is one of the two Islamic Jihad detainees whose release has been agreed on as part of the ceasefire deal that ended the past week’s ‘Israeli’ aggression against the Gaza Strip. | https://www.english.alahednews.com.lb/essaydetails.php?eid=66784&cid=390 | 2022-08-11T13:43:42Z | https://www.english.alahednews.com.lb/essaydetails.php?eid=66784&cid=390 | true | null |

TWINSBURG, Ohio — Olivia Bartulovic knew from a young age, growing up in Twinsburg, Ohio, what she wanted to do as a profession.
“I love to come to work every single day,” she said.
She remembers the day she discovered her calling clearly because it was a somber day.
“One of our officers was killed in the line of duty in 2008, Josh Miktarian,” she said. “I was only 11 when he was killed. I never got to meet him, but ever since then, I decided I wanted to honor him and carry on his legacy.”
The 25-year-old did honor Miktarian, the moment, three years ago, when she became a Twinsburg Police Officer.
“I’m first generation law enforcement in my family,” she said.
As an officer, she admits there are good days and bad days.
“I’m glad I have the team that we have and we can make it through the shift together and make it home safe,” she said.
Twinsburg Police Chief Tom Mason can attest to the teamwork of the department.
“It’s busy. It’s busy every day and these officers answer the call every day,” he said. “Officer Bartulovic came on a few years ago and we knew she’d be good. She’s homegrown, a product of Twinsburg.”
Just a few weeks back, on July 18, she showed her commitment to her city by saving two lives, in just one shift.
“We got a call of a fully unresponsive male who went into cardiac arrest in our business district,” she said.
Bartulovic rushed to the scene and even got there before Twinsburg’s EMS arrived. The man was in full cardiac arrest and his co-worker was performing CPR.
She took over and continued CPR until medics arrived.
“They got him in the squad and transported him to the hospital and I later found out, later in my shift, that he was alert and they got a heart rhythm back,” she said.
But then, just a couple of hours later, she answered another call for another man in cardiac arrest who had passed out while eating dinner with his wife. Bartulovic was, yet again, the first to arrive on the scene.
“The wife was doing CPR, at first, and I told her just to calm down and that I will take it from here,” she said.
EMS arrived and took over life-saving measures.
“Before they even pulled out of the driveway, he was alert,” said Bartulovic. “It was definitely a team effort.”
Mason said it’s not entirely uncommon for officers to perform life-saving techniques, but said multiple times in one shift is rare.
“What she did is pretty incredible, but to do it twice in one day is even more incredible,” he said.
Bartulovic said the events of the day didn’t sink in until she clocked out.
“The adrenaline stays up throughout the day. I know I have other calls to answer,” she said. “Once I got home I finally realized ‘oh wow, two people are alive. That’s awesome.’”
While Bartulovic is humble about her heroic actions, Mason said that she embodies what all of the men and women in the department do every time they answer a call: protect and serve to the best of their abilities.
“Despite what you may see or hear, whether it’s locally or nationally, there’s bad in every profession, and sometimes that gets the bulk of the attention, but the men and women we have here, they’re just here for their community,” he said.

Ukraine war: Satellite images show damage to Crimea airbase after string of explosions
Satellite images appear to show major damage at a Crimea airbase following explosions earlier this week.
The Saky base in the west of the Russian-ruled peninsula was rocked by a string of blasts on Tuesday (9 August), leaving one person dead.
Aerial images, shared by Planet Labs, appear to show large areas of scorched earth left from fires that erupted.
Wreckage from damaged or destroyed aircraft is also visible, a stark contrast to images taken before the explosions.
Ukraine has not claimed responsibility for what appears to be a targeted attack.

PR Newswire
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 11, 2022
THE-630 Phase 1/2 clinical trial enrolling patients; initial data expected in Q2 2023
Nomination of development candidate for fourth-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitor program expected in Q3 2022; IND expected in 2023
$228.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments as of June 30, 2022; expected to fund operations into the fourth quarter of 2024
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Theseus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: THRX) (Theseus or the Company), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on improving the lives of cancer patients through the discovery, development, and commercialization of transformative targeted therapies, today announced business and pipeline highlights and reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022.
"At Theseus, we are developing next-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) to outsmart cancer resistance—a key challenge facing existing therapies in targeted oncology. 2022 is a critical year of execution and we have continued to make significant progress across our programs," said Tim Clackson, Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer of Theseus. "Enrollment in the dose escalation portion of the Phase 1/2 trial of THE-630 in patients with advanced GIST is on track and we look forward to the expected announcement of initial clinical data in the first half of 2023. We are on track to nominate a development candidate for our EGFR inhibitor program for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer in the third quarter of 2022 and plan to present preclinical data supporting the promising profile for this candidate in the fourth quarter of 2022. We expect to expand our pipeline with the introduction of a third TKI program later this year."
Recent Pipeline Highlights and Upcoming Expected Milestones:
THE-630: a single molecule, pan-variant inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinase KIT. Designed for patients whose gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), a disease that remains largely KIT-dependent following multiple lines of treatment, has developed resistance to earlier lines of therapy.
- A Phase 1/2 dose-escalation and expansion clinical trial evaluating THE-630 in patients with advanced GIST is ongoing, as the Company completes site activations and continues to enroll patients in the dose-escalation portion of the trial.
- Initial data from the Phase 1 dose-escalation portion of the clinical trial are expected to be presented at a scientific conference in the second quarter of 2023.
EGFR inhibitor for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): a fourth-generation, single molecule, selective EGFR inhibitor, designed to inhibit all major single-, double-, and triple-mutant EGFR variants found in the tumors of patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC that have developed resistance to first- or later-line osimertinib treatment, including the C797S and T790M mutations, with central nervous system (CNS) activity.

- The Department of Home Affairs is making changes to passport applications and collections to avoid fraud.
- Only the person who applied for a passport can collect it and activate it with fingerprints.
- The department has also introduced a transit visa for Pakistani and Bangladeshi nationals.
The Department of Home Affairs says it is tightening rules around passport applications and collections to stop fraud.
On Thursday, Home Affairs Minister Aaron Motsoaledi said fraud linked to South African passports was causing it to lose its integrity.
"In recent months, the South African passport has been in the news for the wrong reasons. Firstly, on 24 March 2022, in our Krugersdorp office, the nation saw us apprehending a Pakistani national and arresting him with some South African citizens and corrupt Home Affairs officials. All these people were working together to defraud the SA passport.
"Secondly and immediately thereafter, the story of 'Lebogang from Bangladesh' made headlines all over the media, including on social media," he said.

Motsoaledi added locals implicated in the two corruption cases were out on bail.
"They are on bail; most of them are our citizens. We, unfortunately, can't disown them. They were outright stupid," he said.
He said fraud involving the passport had consequences for the country.
Motsoaledi said:
"The main one being that the integrity of the South African passport will be put into question, causing many hardships for South African travellers. It is for this reason that this state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue," he said.
Motsoaledi added that the department was implementing several steps to secure the passport, saying it was changing the rules around passport issuance.
Passports can now only be collected from the office they were applied at and only by the person who applied for them.
He said this was so the document could be activated by the applicants' fingerprints. Parents who apply for their children will be the only ones allowed to pick up the passport and activate them with their fingerprints.

"We must strongly warn that any passport collected using whatever method other than the ones announced today will not be activated and hence will be of no use to the holder.
"We are aware that this will inconvenience some frequent travellers and some busy people who might not have time, but we are appealing that everybody has to be prepared to readily pay this price for the integrity of our passports," he said.
Motsoaledi added the department would not be announcing the internal steps it was taking so as not to alert corrupt officials, saying it would be making an announcement related to the technology soon.
Transit visas
The minister said because of fraud and corruption linked to Pakistani and Bangladeshi travellers' transit through South Africa, the department would enforce a transit visa on them.
"The decision was informed by recent incidents wherein passengers from the two countries were caught attempting to enter into South Africa illegally by sneaking in through fire hydrant passages at the airport while on the way to the transit lounge to continue to other countries.
"In so doing, they try to evade immigration and other law enforcement officers at the port of entry, thus undermining the security and sovereignty of the state," he said.
Motsoaledi added transit visas were a way "to stop people from undermining our systems". | https://www.news24.com/news24/SouthAfrica/News/home-affairs-tightening-rules-around-passport-issuance-to-avoid-fraud-20220811 | 2022-08-11T13:57:25Z | https://www.news24.com/news24/SouthAfrica/News/home-affairs-tightening-rules-around-passport-issuance-to-avoid-fraud-20220811 | true | 1 |

We are tired, and we have cooking gas
now, and fuel shipments have docked.
So we will get back to the business
of living and not worry anymore about
the Chinese spy ship docking at Hambantota,
or pilfered millions sitting offshore,
or why the former president forgot
seventeen million rupees in a suitcase
in one of his guest rooms when he fled,
or why shooting surrendering Tigers,
white flags raised, or the disappearance
of cartoonist Prageeth Ekneligoda,
or the murder of editor Lasantha
Wickrematunge, or the hundred Tamil
journalists killed in action, reporting,
or the prisoners burned at Welikada—
why perpetrators of these crimes
and the bombers of tent cities
of civilians near Mullivaikal,
and those who disappeared people
during more than twenty six years
of uncivil war, have not resulted
in any prosecution. And, yes,
we recognize fear, scores of youth
arrested, a trade union leader,
and ordinary fellows who felt a bit
of pride lounging by the former
president’s pool, or walking
on his treadmill. The state has taken note
and is about to tread on you
if it has not done so already. Father
Jeewantha beware. This is the chill factor,
damned revenge. But Aragalaya teaches
tolerance, non-violence. We can play
by the Constitution’s rules. Mr President,
and all parliamentarians, you are also
our captains at the helm and we’ll cut
you some slack. But be kind. Stop
the arrests and state of emergency.
Rescind the P.T.A. Give us a chance
to breathe, to walk hand in hand
on Galle Face Green,
beside the few memorials we have
left to July 9th, to ride a pony
again, to eat some cadju nuts. | https://groundviews.org/2022/08/11/whats-left/ | 2022-08-11T13:58:14Z | https://groundviews.org/2022/08/11/whats-left/ | false | 1 |
Is the Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven worth buying?
Cooking pizza at home can be challenging. Unless you use an appliance that delivers high temperatures and cooks evenly, the results can be unimpressive. That’s where the Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven comes in.
The manufacturer claims that this outdoor pizza oven is easy to use, heats up quickly and achieves high cook temperatures that create outstanding stone-baked results. The company also says you can transport the Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven easily. We decided to have a tester analyze this product’s features and functions.
Testing the Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven
We want our readers to understand how products operate, how they are beneficial and if they live up to manufacturer claims, so our testers analyze products in real-world settings. Our tester used the Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven just like our readers would, including setup, operation and tasting the pizza prepared in it to determine if it’s a worthwhile investment.
What is the Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven?
The Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven is a gas-powered oven that’s designed to be used outdoors. It boasts durable construction and well-made components, including a pizza stone and pizza peel. The oven is straightforward to set up and connects to a portable propane tank, making it versatile to use in various outdoor settings. The built-in ignition that produces instant flames and insulated steel construction that locks in heat allow it to achieve high cooking temperatures of up to 950 degrees in about 15 minutes.
Once heated, the Ooni Koda 12 cooks Neapolitan-style pizza in about 60 seconds with stone-baked results. Thanks to the high cooking temperatures, it makes pizza with a crispy crust and perfectly baked toppings. The dial control allows you to adjust the temperature for precise results. This compact outdoor oven can also be used to prepare other foods such as vegetables and meat.
Although Ooni Koda also makes a 16-inch model, the compact 12-inch model is less than 30 pounds, which makes it highly portable. It’s ideal for pizzas that are around 10 inches in size and is suitable for most pizza lovers’ needs. Cleanup is easy once you’re finished cooking.
Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven price and where to buy
You can purchase the Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven can from Ooni and Amazon. Regardless of the merchant, you can expect to pay $399.
How to use the Ooni Koda Pizza Oven
When we tested the Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven, we first chose an outdoor spot, removed it from the packaging, unfolded the legs and placed the pizza stone in the oven. We noticed that the stone fits tightly, but it’s easier to insert than it is to remove.
Next, we connected the oven to a propane tank via the included fuel line. This was a simple process. We turned on the ignition, which occasionally takes a few attempts to light. However, this is also easy to do.
The unit reaches temperatures of up to 950 degrees in about 15 minutes. We noted that the oven cooked well when set around 800 degrees and cooks a pizza in about 60 seconds. Due to the high temperatures produced by the oven, we were concerned about the crust of the pizza catching fire. We didn’t encounter this issue but realized that in case of a fire, the pizza should be removed and the fuel disconnected to allow the fire to burn out.
During the cooking process, it’s simple to turn the pizza with the included pizza peel. If need be, the peel can be used to remove the pizza and turn it before placing it back into the oven to finish baking.
As for cleanup, the most challenging part is removing cheese from the peel. The oven itself is simple to clean. Any burned-on food can be removed from the pizza stone with the peel.
Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven benefits
The Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven stands out from ranges and toaster ovens by baking pizza in seconds with the flavor, crunch and perfectly roasted toppings that are typical of stone-baked results. Because it’s made for outdoor use, it’s a worthwhile investment for any home cook who loves to prepare recipes in their backyards. Additionally, the compact design and easy operation and cleanup make it a small appliance suitable for outdoor entertainment away from home. Although it’s somewhat expensive, its impressive performance and solid build justify the cost.
Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven drawbacks
Overall, the Ooni Koda 12 is an impressive oven that bakes terrific pizza when used properly. We noticed a few issues, which aren’t major but can affect results.
In comparison with the larger Ooni Koda 16 model, which features burners on the back and sides, the Ooni Koda 12 only has one burner positioned at the back of the unit. This makes the 12 model slightly less powerful than its larger cousin.
Because the oven works with high cooking temperatures, there’s a bit of trial and error for novice users to achieve perfect results. Adjusting the temperature knob and monitoring pizza during cooking can help.
Another quirk we noticed is that the gas control knob is located in an awkward area at the back of the unit. Although somewhat frustrating, it isn’t a deal-breaker.
Should you get the Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven?
Anyone who loves to experiment with different pizza recipes or enjoys trying new gadgets for outside cooking will appreciate all that the Ooni Koda 12 Pizza Oven has to offer. It’s a must-have for avid pizza fans, and it’s satisfying to try various types of dough and toppings and tweak the oven settings and cook times to achieve your desired results.
Consider other products

Although not quite as speedy at baking pizza as the Ooni Koda 12, this oven bakes in about 90 seconds with a cooking temperature as high as 860 degrees. It’s also about half the price of the Ooni Koda 12.

Madonna has been known for her raunchy antics in recent times, but during an appearance on the Tonight Show, she shocked viewers by riding Jimmy Fallon like a horse.
The pair were playing a word association game, when the final letter to be brought out was ‘I’, with Jimmy exclaiming ‘icon’, as Madonna opted for 'idiot'.
Her answer left the host on the floor laughing, which gave the 63-year-old enough time to hop on top of him and straddle him, while pretending to hit him with a whip.

SKOPJE, North Macedonia (AP) — A truck carrying Syrian migrants believed to have entered from neighboring Greece overturned on a road in North Macedonia, injuring 35 people, police said Thursday.
A police statement said 49 people were in the heavy vehicle during the crash late Wednesday near the southern village of Marvinci. They said one of the injured migrants was in serious condition. The cause of the crash was unclear.
The 35 injured migrants were taken for treatment to hospitals in the southern towns of Strumica and Gevgelija. The rest were led to a detention center in Gevgelija pending deportation to Greece.
The truck driver, who police believe belongs to a migrant smuggling ring, escaped on foot.
Police said the migrants were believed to be heading north to neighboring Serbia, with a view of continuing from there to wealthier European countries.
The relaxation of travel restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in more migrants attempting to use the Balkan route into Europe, going through Turkey and Greece to North Macedonia and Serbia.
Police spokeswoman Suzana Pranikj told The Associated Press that so far this year police have prevented more than 11,500 people from illegally entering the country — 88% of them from Greece.
In the same period, police arrested 62 suspected migrant smugglers — 15 of them foreign nationals.
According to Pranikj, the number of arriving migrants has doubled compared to the same period last year. They mostly originate from Pakistan, Syria and India.

EVERYONE is saying the same thing after seeing an Irish driver's viral time saving motorway hack.
The man, who shared the explainer on his TikTok account, claims the trick saved him 20-30 minutes of driving time.
Driving on the motorway can be a pain due to traffic congestion, especially during peak hours.
Luckily this TikToker thinks he has a solution - but not everyone agrees with him.
The man, driving northbound on Dublin's M1, heads left onto exit 6 to Balbriggan, scoots around the roundabout and rejoins the motorway, skipping over 10 cars in the process.
He said: "Quick trick here so we're going down the motorway here and there's loads of traffic.
"So we go up the exit ramp and there's no traffic up the top.
"We're going to go round the roundabout, back down the ramp and we're about ten places in front of where we were."
The best part of the trick is that it can be used on all exit ramps that rejoin the M1, meaning you could save yourself quite a bit of time.
The hack, dubbed "slip surfing" has since gone viral on the popular video platform, amassing over half a million views while boasting almost 19,000 likes.
Most read in The Irish Sun
Users flooded the comments offering their thanks to the driver for sharing his cheeky trick.
A fan said: "Never heard of doing this before. Game changer."
Another said: "Life changer. Everybody should be doing this."
Commenters even found success abroad, with one driver using the trick on the M25 southbound at Heathrow during rush hour.
They said: "Knocks about 10 minutes off the drive time."
However, the majority of commenters were divided on whether the hack was even worth the effort.
One said: "Ended up behind the same van, if you don’t do it like a terrorist it’s not worth doing."
Another added: "Fair play you saved yourself 4 seconds."

By Caracas Chronicles â» Marianela Palacios Aug 10, 2022 Venezuela hasn’t been able to jump back from the 2019 nationwide blackout that took out the electric grid for several days, and it’s still failing to supply a continuous electricity service across the territory. However, we see strange stuff making headlines like the country at the top of crypto-mining (which requires a lot of electricity) world rankings or local marketing campaigns for electric vehicles (EVs). As a matter of fact, there are currently between 700 and 1,000 electric vehicles on the streets, mostly in Caracas, Valencia, Maracay, Maracaibo, and Barquisimeto, according to David D’Amico, president of VenCharger. VenCharger sells and installs equipment to charge EVs, and developed an app to locate charging docks and auto repair shops in Venezuela’s main cities.
¿Quieres recibir nuestro exclusivo boletín informativo en tu correo? ¡Suscríbete a #BoletinPatilla! A thousand vehicles seem insignificant among a fleet of approximately two million working vehicles â» although most units are twenty-two years old on average and rarely have insurance. In Colombia and Chile, the electric car presence is also minute. In Latin America, in general, we’re still very far behind in the compliance of certain commitments to stop climate change. In this region, vehicles running with fossil fuels are still overwhelmingly used.
Since the March 2019 blackout, almost half a million electrical failures have taken place in Venezuela, according to the Comité de Afectados por los Apagones . However, the arrival of EVs to the country accelerated after the pandemic, in 2020. Today, the Fiat500e, Corolla Hybrid and Xpeng, Hyundai Kona, Nissan Leaf, and even Tesla have customers in Venezuela.
Not many customers, it must be said. «Their high price is obviously too steep for the average Venezuelan, and there’s little infrastructure for the new technology,» says Omar Bautista, the president of the auto parts manufacturers chamber.
Prices can start at $17,000 for used models that some car dealers are importing and they could go over $70,000 for new ones, depending on make and model. The Kona that Huyndai Venezuela just announced will sell in the country will start at $66,000 (in the U.S. the Kona is in the affordable EV scale starting at $21,000).
Most have been imported from the United States, Colombia, Costa Rica, and Italy. In 2018, the government lifted the customs restrictions that have stalled imported products. The Maduro administration authorized importing used cars up to five years old in 2019, of any make and model. And in 2020, they even allowed imports without tariffs.
This complicated the situation for assembly plants and vehicle and car parts manufacturers in Venezuela. Their productivity and sales dropped again. During the first semester of 2022, only 1,899 new cars were sold, according to the former president of the car manufacturers chamber Cavenez, Enrique González. That’s an increase of 122% compared to the same period in 2021, but consider that, at the height of the Venezuelan economy, that number reached half a million units a year. This gives us a very clear idea of how much the automotive industry declined in this country during the economic crisis in the last decade.
Electric Baby Steps Electric vehicle sales will rise from 6.6 million in 2021 to 20.6 million in 2025 and will represent around 23% of the new passenger vehicle sales worldwide, Bloomberg NEF points out in its most recent report on the market’s expectations.
Some of the available electric cars in the Venezuelan market have batteries with adapters that allow their owners to use a 110v or 220v outlet. A full charge it can take between 7 and 15 hours. Others have technology that allows for significant autonomy on the road.
The Hyundai Kona, for instance, is a second-generation SUV crossover that comes in two versions: 39.2 KWH and 64 KWH. The latter has a 484 km trip autonomy, according to the manufacturer. The Nissan Leaf can go for up to 280 km on trails and 320 km in the city. Furthermore, in some of their versions, there’s a solar panel that charges the batteries as well.
Hyundai Venezuela is also offering their clients financing alternatives for their new vehicles through their car dealerships, for the first time in almost a decade.
To date, VenCharger has installed only one charging dock for EVs in Caracas, in Altamira. But in the upcoming months they will install more in malls like CCCT, Concresa, and San Ignacio, in the capital; then in La Guaira and later on in other states in the country. «We’re still in the no-fee phase for our customers. We’re in an introductory phase, what we want is for people to familiarize themselves with electric mobility. Later on, when all our equipment is installed in all the states, we’ll start charging for our service.»
D’Amico said that by using a residential 100v charger, a Fiat500e can be fully charged for three or five dollars. Maintenance costs for these types of vehicles aren’t cheap. For instance, if an EV needs to replace their entire battery bank, it would require an investment of around 25,000 dollars in some models.
There are also several EV repair shops in Caracas and other cities. «This is much more technical and complex. You need specialized scanners, computers and online connections with the manufacturers, as well as certified staff to tend to these cases. That’s why we recommend owners to not take their vehicles to any repair shop, only to authorized places which can guarantee quality of service,» D’Amico says. Besides, electric vehicles work with high voltage and can even cause the death of a person, if they’re not working with the appropriate safety protocols.
With the payment options offered by new car dealerships in Venezuela, an important increase of car sales in 2022 and 2023 is expected. In Barinas, the Vefase company offers assembly, distribution, and sales of electric motorcycles, whose cheapest model at 450 dollars, has an autonomy of 50 km and a maximum speed of 30 km/h. The most expensive one has 140 km autonomy and a maximum speed of 85 km/h, for under 1,700 USD.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, inflation surged 8.5% year-over-year in July, lower than the consensus estimates. The stock market rejoiced on the news, with the S&P 500 gaining 2.1% in the last trading session, its highest since May 2022, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 2.9% to 12,854.80, marking its best close since late April.
Consequently, the probability of the Fed hiking rates by 75 bps in September slid to 37%, while the possibility of a 50 bps hike climbed to 63%.
Aneta Markowska, the chief economist at Jefferies, believes that cooling prices could substantially loosen the Fed’s monetary tightness and improve overall macroeconomic conditions. “Things are moving in the right direction. This is the most encouraging report we’ve had in quite some time,” she said regarding the latest CPI data.

Cochlear Implant Market Strategies, Analysis and Forecasts Till 2030
Posted on 2022-08-11 by researchinsights in Healthcare // 0 Comments
Cochlear Implant Industry Overview
The global cochlear implant market size is expected to reach USD 3.1 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 8.71% during the forecast period, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Supportive initiatives by the governments and various organizations, a rise in bilateral fittings, and increase in diagnosis rate are the factors, expected to boost the market growth, during the forecast period. Key players in the region are conducting research activities to improve the patient experience. For instance, in February 2022, Senova announced a vitro line of custom-made hearing devices with paradise technology which includes fully connected ITE hearing devices; Vitro P-312 (Vitro P Black), Vitro P-Titanium, and Vitro P-10.
Cochlear Implant Market Segmentation
Grand View Research has segmented the global cochlear implant market based on the type of fitting, end use and region:
Based on the Type Of Fitting Insights, the market is segmented into Unilateral and Bilateral.
- The unilateral implants segment dominated the market with a share of 87.9% in 2021. The growth can be attributed to the high demand for unilateral implants owing to easier reimbursement of these devices, their lower cost when compared to bilateral implants, shorter surgery duration, and low anesthesia requirement.
- However, the bilateral implants segment is expected to witness lucrative growth during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its cost-effectiveness when implanted in children since these will be implanted for a longer duration as compared to the geriatric population. Additionally, the ability of these devices to recognize speech in noise is expected to drive segment growth.
- Furthermore, the segment is expected to witness significant growth owing to the increased spending on research, and innovative product launches by the key companies operating in the market. For instance, in January 2022, the US FDA approved Cochlear Nucleus Implants by Cochlear limited to treat unilateral hearing loss (single-sided deafness).
Based on the End-use Insights, the market is segmented into Adult and Pediatric.
- The adult segment with 60.2%, held the maximum market share in 2021 due to a larger elderly population patient pool. According to the National Institute of Deafness and other Communication Disorder, 2.0% of the population aged between 45 and 54 in the US suffers from disabling hearing loss, and around 8.5% of the population aged between 55 and 64 suffer from disabling hearing loss.
- However, the pediatric segment is expected to grow at a substantial rate during the forecast period. According to the National Institute of Deafness and other Communication Disorders, approximately 2 to 3 out of 1000 children suffer from detectable loss of hearing in the US.
- Around 1 in 1000 live births in the US suffer from sensorineural unilateral hearing loss (UHL). To provide aid to these patients, in 2019, US Food and Drug Administration approved the cochlear implantation in children with single-sided deafness (SSD) aged 5 years and above in the US. Such initiatives are expected to drive the growth of the pediatric segment during the forecast period.
Cochlear Implant Regional Outlook
- North America
- Europe
- Asia Pacific
- Latin America
- Middle East & Africa (MEA)
Key Companies Profile & Market Share Insights
The market is consolidated with the presence of a few established players. Product launches and research initiatives for the expansion of product portfolios are the key strategic undertakings of these companies to increase market share. In March 2022, So nova Holding AG acquired the consumer division of Sennheiser electronic GmbH & Co. KG which forms the 4th business unit of So nova.
Some of the prominent players in the global cochlear implant market include:
- Cochlear Ltd.
- So nova
- MED-EL Medical Electronics
- Demant A/S

Because it is a type of connection that is generally more stable and economical than mobile data, many users prefer to connect to Wi-Fi networks to use the internet. At home, we have access to this type of connection through our provider. However, on the street, access depends on the availability of free access networks.
Fortunately, nowadays, it is not difficult to find cafes, restaurants, hotels, museums and even squares that have free Wi-Fi. But anyone who thinks that these networks are 100% secure is wrong: you have to be very careful when using public Wi-Fi connections so that your sensitive data doesn’t fall into the hands of criminals.

📝 How to fix Wi-Fi problems? Comment on the TechTudo Forum
Main care in public connections
In public connections, the most recommended thing is not to exchange any sensitive information during use — that is, not to log in to websites, not to enter internet banking systems and not to carry out banking transactions of any kind. As we do not know how that network is managed or who has access to the data we are exchanging, it is best to avoid any such operation to keep your information safe.
Anyway, before connecting to a Wi-Fi, you need to make sure that that connection is legitimate. In some cases, scammers create a network with a name similar to that of the establishment. The user can access it thinking it is the Wi-Fi of that place, but ends up connecting to a fraudulent network.
Thus, criminals have almost complete control of the information that passes through that connection and can affect browsing by redirecting websites to fake pages, sending malicious files to the device or even capturing your information that is being sent via the internet.
It is important to check the name of the network before connecting — Photo: Rafael Leite/TechTudo
So, to ensure the legitimacy of the Wi-Fi you are connecting to, it is worth asking an employee of the establishment, for example. It is also important to check, in the network name, that there are no different characters replacing letters, such as the number “0” replacing the letter “O”, number “1” replacing the letter “I” or even the lowercase letter “L”. replacing the capital letter “I” (or vice versa).
But even on a legitimate network, we’re still not completely secure. Hackers can be connected to the same Wi-Fi and have access to the information you are exchanging online. In some cases, they manage to capture data packets before they reach your device, with the aim of injecting some malicious content.
Therefore, it is important to always access secure sites, which use the HTTPS protocol on all pages (not just the login ones). In this way, the traffic is carried out in an encrypted form, which prevents someone from capturing the information that is being exchanged between the device and the website server.

When using free Wi-Fi, it is also essential to disable options related to network discovery and file sharing. With these functions active, it becomes easier for a hacker to access your device and inject some malicious file.
Applications that offer a virtual private network, or VPN, can be useful for safe browsing. These VPNs encrypt all your internet access, thus making it difficult for hackers to intercept your browsing data. However, as this service will receive all your internet traffic, it is important to choose a reliable VPN.
Another safe option is to use the operator’s mobile data instead of accessing a public Wi-Fi network, as this traffic is usually encrypted. This is the most recommended option when you need to access accounts, internet banking and make financial transactions away from home.
Apps promise free Wi-Fi
A search in the app stores reveals programs that promise to gather the passwords of several public networks around the world, including maps to visualize where these Wi-Fi work. Even connecting to networks suggested by these apps, there are the same security dangers as any public Wi-Fi. The risk may be greater if these applications automatically access a network, as you may not see that you are connected and may exchange sensitive data during such use.

Furthermore, there is no guarantee that the networks registered in these applications are really legitimate or truly public. So, the best thing to do is to manually connect to Wi-Fi, so you don’t run the risk of being on a fake or insecure network.
Some operators offer their subscribers free networks, calls from hotspots, scattered throughout the cities. Generally, they are networks without a password that, when connecting, ask for authentication according to the customer’s registration.
There is a lower chance of problems with connections like these, as it is necessary to log in with the data of the operator to access it. Even so, they cannot be considered as secure as residential Wi-Fi, for example. For using websites and apps with sensitive data outside the home, the best choice is the mobile network.

Mark Walker, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Direct Digital, commented, "We are pleased to report record revenue for the second quarter of 2022, demonstrating the strong growth driven by our business model. By focusing on expanding both of our impactful buy- and sell-side business segments, we have been able to expand our portfolio and client reach, delivering increased topline revenue, and consequently, overall growth in our adjusted EBITDA."
Keith Smith, President of Direct Digital, added, "This quarter's results are a testament to Direct Digital's diverse and open digital marketplace business model.

Consequently, Direct Digital will be raising guidance for full-year 2022."
Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights:

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In addition to our results determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including, in particular operating income, net cash provided by operating activities, and net income, we believe that earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), as adjusted for acquisition transaction costs, forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Program loans, gain from revaluation and settlement of seller notes and earnout liability, loss on early extinguishment of debt, and loss on early redemption of non-participating preferred units ("Adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure, as well as Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenue, an operating ratio derived from non-GAAP financial measures ("Adjusted EBITDA Margin"), are useful in evaluating our operating performance. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is net income.
In addition to operating income and net income, we use these non-GAAP financial measures as measures of operational efficiency. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors for period-to-period comparisons of our business and in understanding and evaluating our operating results for the following reasons:
- Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and securities analysts to measure a company's operating performance without regard to items such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, provision for income taxes, and certain one-time items such as acquisition transaction costs and gains from settlements or loan forgiveness that can vary substantially from company to company depending upon their financing, capital structures and the method by which assets were acquired;
- Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with GAAP financial measures for planning purposes, including the preparation of our annual operating budget, as a measure of operating performance and the effectiveness of our business strategies and in communications with our board of directors concerning our financial performance; and
- Adjusted EBITDA provides consistency and comparability with our past financial performance, facilitates period-to-period comparisons of operations, and also facilitates comparisons with other peer companies, many of which use similar non-GAAP financial measures to supplement their GAAP results.
Our use of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider them in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our financial results as reported under GAAP. The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income for each of the periods presented (however, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA Margin, an operating ratio derived from a non-GAAP financial measure, for a number of reasons, including due to the unknown effect, timing and potential significance of certain income statement items):

Labelling the Winfield Braithwaite Caribbean School Boys and Junior tournament as the most important within the Caricom jurisdiction, Steve Ninvalle, President of the Guyana Boxing Association, and architect of the event, disclosed that the prestigious championship will now be staged from August 26th-28th at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall, Homestretch Avenue.
Ninvalle disclosed that the competition, named after Guyana’s 1978 Commonwealth Games gold medalist, has been rescheduled from its initial period of August 19th-21st in order to allow participating countries to meet Guyana’s Covid19 entry requirements.
“This will be the 5th edition of the Caribbean School Boys and Junior tournament. It was scheduled for August 19th-21st but we had to push it back by one week because we are trying to make sure that the overseas participants can meet Guyana’s Covid-19 entry requirements. We have confirmation from Trinidad, the Bahamas and St. Lucia and we expect Saint Maarten and Grenada also to be a part,” Ninvalle informed.
He further added that, “It is one of the most if not most important competition that the Caribbean will have, simply because of the fact that it is tailored, points to, and is aimed at developing the nursery of the sport. The nursery of course is your most important.”
The GBA has shortlisted 30 young fighters for the regional championship, with possible national representatives emerging from Vergenoegen Boxing Gym, Young Achievers, the Forgotten Youth Foundation, Pace and Power and the Rose Hall Jammers Boxing Gym.
Vergenoegen will be represented by Glaston Winter, Jemuel Jones, Keyon Britton, Markel Blue, Garvel Hyman and Jevon Anthony, while the Pace and Power Boxing Gym participants are Stephon Clarence and Tofina Barker.
Similarly, Young Achievers representation will come in the form of Ceafa Chris, Ezekiel Bancroft, Shamaria Isaacs, Kendel Domonic and Eon Bancroft Jr, with Forgotten Youth Foundation being represented by the likes of Tequan Sampson, Chance Niles, Shaquian James, Josiah McPherson, Seon Graham, Dwane Baptiste, and Yusdiel Gala.
Rose Hall Jammers participation will occur in the form of Roopesh Balgobin, Jadon Lewis, Isaiah Nurse, Shawn Sabola, Travis Sancho, Matthew Thomas, Joshua Thambarain, Arlington Johnson, Jahuan Haniff and Akhan English.
In preparation for the upcoming event Ninvalle had implemented a system whereby there was an Under-16 competition held every two weeks. The GBA has also contracted Cuban coach Francisco Roldan to assist in whipping the squad into shape.
The coaches and instructors helping the youngsters are: Lennox Daniels, Francisco Roldan, Selbert Blake, Gregory Cort and Clifton Moore.
“The coaching staff will soon select the national team which will go into encampment. It is a very exciting time regardless of how many overseas participants we get. It’s an exciting time for boxing because the nurseries have been injected with some vigor, vitality and some much needed international competition. Trinidad and Tobago is slated to send the largest overseas contingent, they have nine and they will be followed by the Bahamas. Once we get all the Covid-19 entry requirements met, then we are off to have a very good tournament for want of better words. It is a much needed international competition for the Caribbean.”
According to the GBA boss, the importance of the championship cannot be overstated, as it provides an avenue, and opportunity for Caribbean territories to assess the quality of their respective nurseries.
He made clear, “It’s the only of its kind. This nursery tournament in Caricom was first held in Guyana in 2016. The Caribbean had no way of assessing where its nursery was. We (The Caribbean) didn’t have any U-16, school boy or junior tournaments. So what was happening was that all of our Caribbean countries were having their nurseries operate in silos, individually, and there was no way of assessing where each contry was as it relates to another nation. So we thought it fit to do that, we took a break in 2020 and 2021 because of Covid-19 and now we are back even though, in my personal opinion, some were hoping that it wouldn’t return and will not support. ”
Ninvalle assured that the tournament will and must go on. “We are pushing ahead with it regardless because Guyana sees the nursery of our sport of boxing as very important. That opinion is shared by one of closest partners in Trinidad and Tobago and several others. Mr. Cecil Forde (president of Trinidad and Tobago Boxing Association), Mr. David Christopher (president of the St Lucia Boxing Association), Vincent Strachan (president of the Bahamas Boxing Association and several other presidents in the Caribbean understand this. We cannot afford to let this die, or, we would be doing a great disservice to the sport and those who elected us. If you don’t have a strong and structured nursery then how are we are going to get good senior fighters,” Ninvalle asked.

Pre-registration is available at SKYPlay(skyplay.io) and the game will be released with the timeline of the platform's beta release.
The game's UX/UI has been upgraded to integrate user satisfaction and participation for the game based on the insights from the two global tests which had taken place in the first half of this year. Considerable details and advancement work have been put into the game so that the player's time and effort put into the game could return into a cashable asset.
Coin Grid is a new NFT game with the theme of saving cute Antarctic characters in danger of global warming, and to adventure together. It is the first casual game to be presented by Kyung-Min Kim, the CEO of IDaNote, who had formerly served as the Global Manager for the 'Modoo Marble' from Netmarble.

US wholesale inflation fell in July for 1st time in 2 years
WASHINGTON (AP) — Prices at the wholesale level fell from June to July, the first month-to-month drop in more than two years and a sign that some of the U.S. economy’s inflationary pressures cooled last month.
Thursday’s report from the Labor Department showed that the producer price index — which measures inflation before it reaches consumers — declined 0.5% in July. It was the first monthly drop since April 2020 and was down from a sharp 1% increase from May to June.
The easing of wholesale inflation suggests that consumers could get some relief from relentless inflation in the coming months. The wholesale report follows government data Wednesday that showed that consumer inflation was unchanged from June to July — the first flat figure after 25 straight months of increases.
Yet economists caution that it’s still too early to say that inflation is headed steadily lower.
“The July deceleration … is a move in the right direction,” said Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics. “But producer costs continue to rise at a rapid pace, well above target.”
Wholesale food prices rose 1% from June to July, a sign that grocery prices will likely keep rising in the coming months. The wholesale costs of eggs, beef and vegetables all jumped.
Trucking freight costs, though, fell 0.3%, evidence that some supply chain snarls are easing.
Inflation at the wholesale level still jumped 9.8% in July compared with a year earlier, suggesting that inflation will remain at painful levels for months to come. That was down from a year-over-year surge of 11.3% in June — near a four-decade high — and was the smallest annual rise in eight months.
Thursday’s report showed that wholesale gas prices tumbled 16.7% from June to July, a sign that retail prices at the pump will continue to decline this month and likely into September. Consumers are already seeing steady reductions: Gas prices fell below $4 a gallon, on average, on Thursday for the first time in five months.
The milder inflation data, and last month’s unexpectedly robust hiring that helped lower the unemployment rate to a half-century low of 3.5%, have provided President Joe Biden with some positive economic news after months of accelerating price spikes hammered his approval ratings. Congressional Republicans have made rising inflation a major line of attack in the upcoming midterm elections.
And the Federal Reserve has embarked on its fastest pace of interest rate hikes since the early 1980s in an effort to quell inflation, and will likely keep raising borrowing costs for the rest of this year. Its short-term rate is currently in a range of 2.25% to 2.5%, the highest since 2018.
Chair Jerome Powell has said the Fed would need to see a series of declining inflation readings before it would consider pausing its rate increases. The Fed could announce a third straight three-quarter point rate hike when it next meets in late September or instead carry out a less drastic half-point hike.
Thursday’s producer price data captures inflation at an earlier stage of production and can sometimes signal where consumer prices are headed. It also feeds into the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, which is called the personal consumption expenditures price index.

School Opens: Challenges remain
With the county schools starting last week and Newport Grammar School starting this week, school is officially back in session in Cocke County.
That means all the things that come along with it are back as well, from shopping for supplies to filling out all that paperwork. If you’ve been anywhere near town or any of the schools, morning or afternoon, then you know that means the traffic is back.
Though many things are the same as with any other school year, many things are different. Several schools are facing major staffing changes as new teachers, staff, and administrations settle into their new roles.
Another thing that keeps this from being a typical school year is the lingering threat of COVID-19. Although the number of cases and precautions against the virus are at a low point compared to years past, this is the third school year following the shut down of March 2020 in which administrations and teachers must stay prepared. Many teachers continue to adjust to new technologies in their classroom as a result of the pandemic.
Students in second grade and below do not know what school was like before the pandemic—before every student had a laptop or tablet, and most work was done on paper. But as with any obstacle, students and staff of Cocke County Schools persevere with dedication to a new year. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2698969961676/school-opens-challenges-remain | 2022-08-11T14:22:49Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2698969961676/school-opens-challenges-remain | false | 2 |

Kenya vote count continues in tight race as observers deem election 'peaceful'
Issued on:
Kenyans are waiting with bated breath for the official announcement of their next president, a tight race between Deputy President William Ruto and veteran politician and former prime minister Raila Odinga.
Although there have been a few glitches in Tuesday’s election, many have noted that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has been carrying out its duties and the atmosphere was peaceful and conducted well and efficiently, especially in comparison to the tumultuous vote in 2013 and 2017.
"The IEBC has been able to ensure that the transmission of results to the e-portal has been done in real time,” said political analyst and lawyer Elias Mutuma.
He is referring to the electronic transfer of vote tallies (form 34B) from the constituencies around the country to the central vote tally, located at Bomas Kenya in Nairobi.
“In 24 hours we were able to witness 90 percent of 34Bs being uploaded to the portal. That did not happen in 2017,” he told RFI from his office in Nairobi.
Anyone can look at the constituency polling totals online, as part of the the effort by the IEBC to make the process more transparent.
This new process stemmed from the problems with the presidential vote in 2017.
“There was a lot of anxiety back then as opposed to now. Everything is out there and everyone is able to look and come up with their own figures,” he said.
By Thursday early afternoon, the IEBC reported that 99.86 percent of electronic forms had been sent.
Constituencies have brought the paper version back to Bomas in order to compare the electronic form, and will only announce official results after the comparison has been verified by the IEBC.
Tally issues
But while the IEBC has made this available to everyone, there has been some confusion as Kenya’s rich media environment meant that each television station had their own tally.
Either Odinga or Ruto have won, depending on which TV station you are watching.
The Media Council of Kenya issued a statement on Wednesday after the election, noting concern regarding the different tallies.
“We remind Kenyans that the final results of the elections will be declared by the IEBC,” according to the statement.
Conceding the election for the first time
At their press conference regarding preliminary observations, regional observers from the East Africa Commission, Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), Intergovernmental Authority on Development for Eastern Africa (IGAD) and African Union all noted that overall the election had been peaceful, with very few pockets of violence.
"The elections were highly competitive and the campaign was comparatively more peaceful than previous elections,” said former Sierra Leone president Ernest Bai Koroma, head observer for the African Union and COMESA.
Kenyans went to vote for six representatives on Tuesday, including president, governor, senator, member of parliament, women’s representative, and county representative.
The IEBC has started announcing the results from the constituencies.
Some of the parliamentary, gubernatorial, and other representatives have begun to concede the election.
“We in the legal fraternities are fascinated by the move by politicians to concede defeat easily. That’s not something we’ve witnessed before in Kenya,” said Matuma.
Cost
Lengthy and costly court cases by those where were defeated has been a hard lesson learned, he says.
“I believe we are maturing as we go by, and people are now willing to come to terms with defeat as an inevitable outcome of any election, that you only have one winner in each position.
"I think it’s quite commendable, and I look forward to the future where we have elections and people just agree, shake hands and we move on,” he added.
Koroma said that the absence of ethnic bloc voting also was a factor in lack of violence overall.
“There was a notable shift from president ethnocentric campaigns to issue-focused campaigns,” he said.
Matuma says that this is the first election that has no tribal alignments.
“For the very first time, we’re witnessing a mix of ideas, a mix of interests, and we’ve been seen to make one step in diluting the tribal card in our politics, which is quite impressive,” he added.
There were a few pockets of violence. In one polling station, men broke ballot boxes and threatened the poll workers. Three have been arrested in conjunction with the violence, and voters in that polling station were authorized to vote on 10 August, the day after the vote, by the IEBC.
Additionally, in Bungoma, Western Kenya, two candidates fought on the day of the vote.
MP candidate Didmus Barasa allegedly shot his opponent’s aide, who died. The police are looking for him for questioning. Barasa reportedly won his seat.
Low turnout “a protest”
The IEBC noted that the voter turnout was low, between 56 and 64 percent, excluding those who were unable to vote via the biometric verification at the polls, and who had to be checked with the manual paper register.
In both 2013 and 2017 elections, the voter turnout was around 80 percent. This vote has been the lowest, but this wasn’t a surprise, says Mutuma.
“What this means is that as a population and as a country, people are not very happy with the leadership, people seem to be fed up,” he said This had a big impact on the low amount of youth who registered to vote.
Former Tanzanian president Jakaya Kikwete, the head observer for the East African Community, also noted the low voter turnout and lack of youths on election day.
However, Mutuma stressed that the apathy was not due to lack of voter education.
“The Kenyan population is quite educated, they know their rights, I can tell you for sure, the old mama in the village knows what they’re supposed to do the day of the vote," he said.
“It’s that people have made a decision not to vote because they’re not happy with the leadership. I think it’s a protest in itself by not voting,” he says.
The IEBC has until 16 August to announce the winner of the presidential election, but with paper tallies coming in to Bomas of Kenya, election watchers estimate the results will be officially announced either Friday or Saturday.

People.com Lifestyle Home Joanna Gaines Opens Up About 20-Year Marriage to Chip: 'Experienced a Little Bit of All of It' There were times "when all I could think to do was lay face down on the floor in surrender," the Fixer Upper star writes candidly in the upcoming fall issue of Magnolia Journal By Charmaine Patterson Charmaine Patterson Digital News Writer, PEOPLE People Editorial Guidelines Published on August 11, 2022 10:00 AM Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Joanna Gaines Instagram Joanna Gaines and Chip Gaines' nearly 20-year marriage has weathered its fair share of difficult times, she says. The 44-year-old Fixer Upper star penned a personal essay for the new fall issue of Magnolia Journal (out Friday, Aug. 12), and opened up the obstacles she and Chip have overcome. (Magnolia Journal is published by PEOPLE's parent company Dotdash Meredith.) "In our 20 years of marriage, Chip and I have experienced a little bit of all of it," Joanna writes. "Losing a loved one. Shifts in friendships. Bills we couldn't pay. Moments where our hearts were broken. Times when all hope felt lost and circumstances were out of our control. When all I could think to do was lay face down on the floor in surrender." She adds that one of the "heartbreaking things" they're preparing to experience is sending their oldest son Drake, 18, to college. River Jordan/Magnolia Journal Joanna Gaines Jokes 'Babies Don't Keep' in Adorable Then-and-Now Photo of 4-Year-Old Son Crew "In the grand scheme of heartbreaking things, this one comes with a lot of gratitude and excitement. But still, my first child is moving away, and our family dynamic will change because of it, and that can feel like a loss of its own. I catch glimpses now of what that life will look like and wonder if—or how many times—that might bring me to the floor." In June, Joanna and Chip — who are also parents to Ella Rose, 15, Duke, 14, Emmie Kay, 12, and Crew, 4 — celebrated their 19th wedding anniversary. River Jordan/Magnolia Journal Drew Barrymore Calls on Chip and Joanna Gaines For Help In Hilarious Video: 'It's Demo Day' To commemorate the special day, Joanna posted a photo of the pair cozying up in a shiny black dining booth. "19 years ❤️," she captioned the Instagram post. To close out the special sentiment, she added a hashtag that says, "I like you a lot."

The pair are no strangers to swooning over one another. In last year's summer edition of The Magnolia Journal, released in May 2021, Chip penned a note about how he stays dedicated to being a good husband and loving father. "When I look out across the whole landscape of my little corner of the world, there are plenty of places where I fall short," Chip wrote at the time. "I'm known to be easily distracted, for one thing. In general, me and time have this way of losing track of one another. And sometimes, I can let some of the commitments I've made slip through my hands." RELATED VIDEO: Joanna Gaines Shares Video of Son Crew's Adorable Routine of Saying Goodnight to His Plants "But there are other commitments—the big ones—that I hold on to with everything I've got. Honoring Jo, being a good dad, my faith, trying to do what's right even when it's not easy, building something that helps other people. Those are commitments I've made that I won't compromise. My nonnegotiables," the HGTV star continued. "No matter how much the details and circumstances of my life may change, and no matter what storms come my way, you watch: I'm going to get those right."

- The study concluded that elevated levels of two proteins help predict how a person will recover from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), providing important information to determine appropriate care
- Researchers used Abbott's i-STAT™ TBI Plasma test – the only FDA-cleared rapid test on a portable analyzer for concussion – and Abbott's core laboratory ARCHITECT instrument to measure two biomarkers in blood plasma associated with brain injury
ABBOTT PARK, Ill., Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new study published in The Lancet Neurology demonstrates the ability of two blood-based biomarkers to predict how someone will recover from traumatic brain injury (TBI). Testing for these two biomarkers in the immediate aftermath of an injury can help health care providers determine the best way to treat and care for patients.
This research shows that when a clinician conducts a blood test for these brain proteins soon after a possible injury, they quickly get a more accurate picture of how severe the injury is, the expected course of recovery and the longer-term implications of the TBI. The markers were measured using Abbott's i-STAT™ TBI Plasma test, as well as on the company's ARCHITECT core laboratory instrument using research prototype assays, both of which helped predict recovery.
Researchers measured levels of Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) and Ubiquitin carboxy-terminal Hydrolase L1 (UCH-L1) present in blood plasma within 24 hours of injury. After testing biomarker levels on the day of injury, researchers evaluated patients six months later, tracking how individuals fared and how biomarker levels corresponded to their recovery.
"Brain injury biomarkers will one day be the standard of care to evaluate and treat patients," said Dr. Fred Korley, an associate professor of emergency medicine at the University of Michigan and the first author of the study. "Objective biomarker data can be profoundly helpful in determining prognosis for a patient, helping to gauge how severe a brain injury is, and can ultimately inform how best to counsel family members about care for their loved ones with brain injury."
In the study, researchers examined the day-of-injury blood tests of 1,696 patients with TBI and compared those to patients' six-month assessment, using the Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended, which grades outcomes and quantifies levels of disability following TBI. The researchers found that high values of the biomarkers, GFAP and UCH-L1, correlate with death and severe injury. The day-of-injury blood tests had a high probability of predicting death at six months, 87% for GFAP and 89% for UCH-L1; and a high probability of predicting severe disability at the same timepoint, 86% for both GFAP and UCH-L1.
GFAP and UCH-L1 are proteins found in glial cells and neurons and are released into the blood stream after the brain is injured. They can be measured with diagnostic testing. Abbott's i-STAT TBI Plasma test is the first rapid test on a portable analyzer to receive FDA 510(k) clearance and can help determine the need for a computed tomography (CT) scan. Test results are available approximately 15 minutes after a plasma sample is inserted in the test i-STAT cartridge.
Abbott is pursuing FDA clearance under Breakthrough Designation for the TBI test on its Alinity i and ARCHITECT core laboratory instruments, which will broaden access and ensure that tests are available both in the lab and in other settings where people need immediate answers and care. Abbott's TBI test on Alinity i is CE Marked and available outside the U.S.
The subjects for the study came from the Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in TBI (TRACK-TBI) study. TRACK-TBI collected and analyzed detailed clinical data from enrolled people across the injury spectrum at 18 U.S. level I trauma centers from February 2014 through August 2018. The TRACK-TBI research team were among the first to demonstrate how this rapid TBI blood test can be used for the benefit of TBI patients in clinical care.
Abbott's TBI blood test was developed in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) – which has been dedicated to developing a solution for the objective detection and evaluation of TBI for more than a decade. The DoD, through U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command's (USAMRDC) U.S. Army Medical Materiel Development Activity (USAMMDA), played a critical role in developing the test run on Abbott's i-STAT TBI platform.
About i-STAT™ TBI Plasma
The i-STAT™ TBI Plasma test measures the level of biomarkers associated with brain injury in the blood stream to assist in determining the need for a CT scan of the head. The i-STAT TBI Plasma test is used to help evaluate mild TBI and is only available for use on the i-STAT™ Alinity™ instrument. The test is to be used with plasma prepared from EDTA anticoagulated specimens in clinical laboratory settings by a healthcare professional. The i-STAT™ TBI Plasma test is not intended to be used in point-of-care settings. More information is available at www.globalpointofcare.abbott/en/product-details/apoc/istat-tbi-plasma.html
About i-STAT™ Alinity™
The i-STAT™ Alinity is an easy-to-use, portable blood analyzer that delivers real-time, lab-quality diagnostic test results. Health care professionals simply apply a few drops of blood into a cartridge, insert the cartridge into the analyzer and can view results within minutes. Results can then be transmitted wirelessly. More information is available at www.globalpointofcare.abbott/en/product-details/apoc/istat-alinity.html

WASHINGTON (AP) — Prices at the wholesale level fell from June to July, the first month-to-month drop in more than two years and a sign that some of the U.S. economy’s inflationary pressures cooled last month.
Thursday’s report from the Labor Department showed that the producer price index — which measures inflation before it reaches consumers — declined 0.5% in July. It was the first monthly drop since April 2020 and was down from a sharp 1% increase from May to June.
The easing of wholesale inflation suggests that consumers could get some relief from relentless inflation in the coming months. The wholesale report follows government data Wednesday that showed that consumer inflation was unchanged from June to July — the first flat figure after 25 straight months of increases.
Yet economists caution that it’s still too early to say that inflation is headed steadily lower.
“The July deceleration … is a move in the right direction,” said Rubeela Farooqi, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics. “But producer costs continue to rise at a rapid pace, well above target.”
Wholesale food prices rose 1% from June to July, a sign that grocery prices will likely keep rising in the coming months. The wholesale costs of eggs, beef and vegetables all jumped.
Trucking freight costs, though, fell 0.3%, evidence that some supply chain snarls are easing.
Inflation at the wholesale level still jumped 9.8% in July compared with a year earlier, suggesting that inflation will remain at painful levels for months to come. That was down from a year-over-year surge of 11.3% in June — near a four-decade high — and was the smallest annual rise in eight months.
Thursday’s report showed that wholesale gas prices tumbled 16.7% from June to July, a sign that retail prices at the pump will continue to decline this month and likely into September. Consumers are already seeing steady reductions: Gas prices fell below $4 a gallon, on average, on Thursday for the first time in five months.
The milder inflation data, and last month’s unexpectedly robust hiring that helped lower the unemployment rate to a half-century low of 3.5%, have provided President Joe Biden with some positive economic news after months of accelerating price spikes hammered his approval ratings. Congressional Republicans have made rising inflation a major line of attack in the upcoming midterm elections.
And the Federal Reserve has embarked on its fastest pace of interest rate hikes since the early 1980s in an effort to quell inflation, and will likely keep raising borrowing costs for the rest of this year. Its short-term rate is currently in a range of 2.25% to 2.5%, the highest since 2018.
Chair Jerome Powell has said the Fed would need to see a series of declining inflation readings before it would consider pausing its rate increases. The Fed could announce a third straight three-quarter point rate hike when it next meets in late September or instead carry out a less drastic half-point hike.
Thursday’s producer price data captures inflation at an earlier stage of production and can sometimes signal where consumer prices are headed. It also feeds into the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation, which is called the personal consumption expenditures price index. | https://wgnradio.com/news/business-news/us-wholesale-inflation-rose-more-slowly-in-july/ | 2022-08-11T14:45:38Z | https://wgnradio.com/news/business-news/us-wholesale-inflation-rose-more-slowly-in-july/ | true | 75 |

Reimagining regular, human actors and actresses as superheroes for the big screen usually requires a few things: a sense of otherworldly gravitas, an intense exercise regimen, and excellent costuming, which includes wigs. On this last point, Hollywood struggles. Even in 2022, wigs in movies and TV are still coming up short.
A perfect example of this is the third season of The Boys on Amazon Prime. Throughout the latter half of the season, viewers are face-to-screen with Queen Maeve’s awful, terrible wig. It was just so ... wiggy. It didn’t look too far off from an image that could be found in an Amazon wig review. But Queen Maeve’s wig wasn’t a $30 wig received via two-day shipping. It was featured on a television show with special effects so high-tech that they recreated the inside of a man’s penis. Yet they were unable to get me to believe that Queen Maeve’s tresses had actually grown from her head.
There’s no limit to the number of bad onscreen wigs that we’ve seen over the years. Tyler Perry is often asked about the terrible wigs he allows on his productions, most notably Shemar Moore’s infamously horrific cornrow wig in Madea’s Family Reunion. The wigs in Twilight looked like cosplay at best. After dyeing her hair blonde and having to cut it off from the damage the hair dye caused, Jessica Alba donned a wig for the Fantastic Four sequel, and one critic described it as “a ridiculously bad wig that a neophyte drag queen from a small town in Nebraska would have turned her nose up at.”
What’s particularly irksome about being forced to look at godawful wigs onscreen is that if you take a quick look around, you can find plenty of examples of properly applied wigs. Whether it’s women (especially Black and brown women) walking down the street or the YouTube and TikTok tutorials that you can watch by the dozen to learn how to properly put on your first lace front, wigs can look good. Knowing what Black women can do with some HD lace (the part of the wig that meets the skin) , literally blending hairlines into the skin, why on earth are wigs on TV so bad?
Camille Friend, a veteran hairstyling professional who’s worked on films like Black Panther, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and Captain America: Civil War, says there are a few major reasons wigs end up looking so busted onscreen. One reason is the budget.
“If all you have for a wig budget is $10,000, that’s one wig,” she says. “Those are decisions people have to make. If you’re doing bigger movies, your budget is $100,000; it gives you leeway, and you can buy better wigs and get better looks.”
The second reason is skill. At the end of the day, it takes a lot of skill and time to make a cheap wig look good onscreen, but it’s possible. Friend runs Hair Scholars, which offers master classes and mentorship programs focused on specialty skills needed for the film and TV business. “There are so many tricks of the trade,” she says. “A lot of the time, people don’t get the knowledge. There’s always little things you can do to take an inexpensive wig and make it look expensive.”

But there are also things that contribute to wigs looking fake onscreen that are out of a stylist’s control. Friend says this is when a good relationship with other production staff comes into play. “You want to have good relationships with your DP or gaffer. I’m very vocal about good lighting, because lighting can make or break us.” Friend also stresses the importance of camera tests that play with color, which requires a set that is invested in the process.
Justin Dickson, a gaffer and lighting technician who has worked on the set of shows like Insecure, Snowfall, and On My Block, agrees that the relationship between hairstylists and other production staff is of the utmost importance. Dickson says it’s important to speak to stylists and get inside the hair and makeup trailer to make sure the lighting matches the color temperature of the lights on set. This requires a budget and schedule that prioritizes things like realistic hair and makeup — and, most important, hairstylists who know what they’re doing.
Imani Bee, a wellness advocate who acts, models, and works as a development executive at THORO Artists, says she has worked with stylists who seem to come from the Tyler Perry school of wig styling. When she works on sets, she usually brings her own wigs and extensions so that the stylists don’t have to do anything. However, when she was working abroad on one set in South Korea, the stylists told Bee they would be doing her hair. “I was so nervous about the shoot itself and I wanted people to like me and to get more opportunities,” Bee says. She had brought a wig, and when the stylist was finished applying it, Bee found it sitting halfway off her head. She didn’t end up saying anything because she was 19 at the time, and didn’t want to ruffle any feathers.
Bee says these types of experiences are made worse when there are few or no Black stylists or actors on set. “If it’s an all-white cast, nine times out of 10, they’re not going to put the budget toward the one nonwhite cast member,” she says. At her most recent gig, Bee did her own hair on set because she was told there was no one on set who could do it. Friend stresses the importance of having Black hairstylists on all kinds of sets. It’s one of her personal goals through her educational program Hair Scholars. It’s important that Black stylists don’t stay pigeonholed, only working on predominantly Black sets. Friend gives these stylists both the technical skills and the networking skills to make sure Black stylists are everywhere, from TV to million-dollar movie sets.
What about the countless hairstylists on social media who seem incredibly talented and know how to make a wig look good? According to entertainment professionals like Friend, the wigs on movie sets are for an entirely different purpose than the ones you see online. When hairstylists on social media apply wigs, they are usually using silicon glue to adhere their hair to a wig cap, so they can wear it overnight, or for a few days. And like Friend says, wigs on movie sets can cost upward of $10,000. A wig that a stylist like Friend works with on sets uses the finest lace, finer than any you can find on a wig ready to purchase. That, on top of the high-quality materials used in the rest of the wig, can contribute to a much more expensive product. Actresses are not leaving sets with $10,000 on their heads.
The other thing to keep in mind is that sometimes it’s not necessarily a bad thing for a hairstyle to not look natural. “There’s overlap, but you have to know your medium. If I’m going to do something on the red carpet or a photo shoot, I can come in there with big, bad [hair],” Friend says. This is different than when she’s styling for someone who’s supposed to look like a normal, run-of-the-mill person. There’s a difference between something looking like a good wig and something looking like natural hair. Bee points to all of the hairstyles featured on Insecure as an example of styles that are not designed to make the audience believe that the hair had grown from the actress’s head. “It was one of the few projects I watched where I was looking at the hair and was impressed. ... I wanted to achieve the styles that Issa [Rae] had on that show,” Bee says.
There’s a difference between realistic hair and a good wig. For productions that feature Black actors, and Black women specifically, the purpose of the hairstyling isn’t necessarily to be realistic as much as it is to reflect the reality of how a Black woman might actually do her hair.
On the other hand, for actors of any race, a wig can be an integral part of the storytelling process. For example, in Stranger Things, the character Eleven’s hair represented what she was going through on the show. In the beginning, Millie Bobbi Brown cut her hair into a buzzcut, which was narratively integral to the show. Years later, when the story again called for her character’s hair to be buzzed, the show used a realistic, short-haired wig.
Which brings us back to superhero movies. Friend, who has worked on seven Marvel movies, says, “When you go do a superhero movie, there’s already a blueprint because you have a comic book, fans. Things have already been somewhat established. ... [The look is] something that’s already been talked about and set.”
The base material for the HBO Max series Titans features an alien superhero named Starfire, known for bright green eyes and even brighter red hair. In Titans, Starfire is played by Anna Diop, a Black actress. In the first images released of Diop as Starfire, fans were startled by her hair. The costuming, the hair in particular, was shocking because of how bad it was. (Separately, Diop faced a heinous torrent of racist harassment, based solely on the casting of a Black woman as Starfire. We’ll leave that aside, for now.) Fortunately, the second and third seasons saw vast improvements in her hair, which made for a better overall viewing experience.
It may seem odd that something as seemingly innocuous as a wig can influence the success of storytelling, but it’s true.
“Someone can be taken out of the story by looking at a bad wig. They forget what the story is about and zero in on ‘something’s not right,’ even if they don’t know what it is,” Dickson says.
And in the case of Black characters with bad hair, it’s ... embarrassing. Like there wasn’t enough care on set to make sure this person didn’t show up on camera looking wild. This becomes particularly egregious when there are only one or two Black actors on set, as Bee has experienced. When this happens on sets with budgets of millions of dollars, what does that say about how much these sets value Black actors?
The sad fact of the matter is that in some cases, white people just can’t tell what a bad wig is. If a stylist is on set and thinking about how an audience might react to hair, they might not be actively thinking about how it looks to an audience that knows how to clock a wig. Even if the stylist can see the flaws, they might think they can get away with it. Unfortunately, for viewers who can spot the difference, they can’t help but notice. And if the wig is being applied on one of few Black actors on a cast, it can end up making them look like a joke. The lack of diversity and inclusion for Black actors is reflected in thousands of ways and sets, and wigs that are more like hats than hair are just one example.
The disastrous wig situation onscreen seems to be due to a combination of failures — most often, it is likely the result of commonly low budgets and occasionally low efforts on the part of the production team. But from the silver screen to television, when bad wigs are applied to actors’ heads, we all suffer. Instead of being able to enjoy what we’re watching, we’re having to rip our eyes away from terrible hairlines, visible lace, and frizzy hair. It’s fairly obvious that Hollywood has a wig problem. What remains to be seen is what productions are willing to invest to address it. | https://www.vox.com/culture/23299998/bad-wigs-hair-tv-film-superhero-black-women | 2022-08-11T14:48:47Z | https://www.vox.com/culture/23299998/bad-wigs-hair-tv-film-superhero-black-women | true | 1 |
Israel-Gaza truce shines light on Palestinian hunger striker
IDNA, West Bank — (AP) — A Palestinian hunger striker who his family says has refused food for the past 160 days and is wasting away in an Israeli jailhouse infirmary has suddenly been thrust into the center of efforts to firm up a Gaza cease-fire.
Khalil Awawdeh is in the spotlight because the Islamic Jihad group sought his release as part of Egyptian-brokered talks that ended three days of fighting between the Gaza-based militants and Israel over the weekend.
In an attempt to win the militants' agreement to halt their fire, Egypt had assured them it would also try to win the release of their West Bank leader and of Awawdeh.
The 40-year-old father of four girls, gaunt and weakened, is protesting his detention without charge or trial by Israel. He is one of dozens of prisoners who have staged hunger strikes in Israeli prisons.
Prospects for his release are uncertain. But his case highlights the plight of hundreds of Palestinians who are being held by Israel under a system that critics say denies them the right to due process.
Israel can hold so-called administrative detainees indefinitely, without showing them the alleged evidence against them or taking them to trial in military courts. Many turn to hunger strikes as a last recourse to bring attention to their situation.
Awawdeh's lawyer, Ahlam Haddad, said her client is “moving between life and death" and that it makes no sense to keep him in detention. “He looks like a pile of bones,” she said. "How much of a threat can he be?”
His family says he not eaten for 160 days, and has only been drinking water, except for a 10-day period when he also received vitamin injections.
Israel is currently holding some 4,400 Palestinians, including militants who have carried out deadly attacks, as well as people arrested at protests or for throwing stones. Around 670 Palestinians are now being held in administrative detention, a number that jumped in March as Israel began near-nightly arrest raids in the West Bank following a spate of deadly attacks against Israelis.
Awawdeh hails from a small town in the southern West Bank and worked as a driver. In his current condition, he uses a wheelchair, and is showing memory loss and speech difficulties.
Haddad said he was arrested in December, accused by Israel of being a member of a militant group, a charge she said he denies.
Dawood Shihab, an Islamic Jihad official, said the group demanded his release as part of the truce talks because it supported his struggle for freedom, not because he is a member.
“This is a matter that continues to be a disgrace to all of humanity,” he said, referring to the hunger strike and detention.
Haddad said she doesn't know why Islamic Jihad chose to include him in the cease-fire deal, along with a senior West Bank commander Israel arrested last week. She is currently appealing his detention in court.
The arrest of the commander had sparked the weekend fighting, with Israeli launching what it said were preemptive airstrikes at Gaza and Islamic Jihad firing hundreds of rockets at Israel. Dozens of Palestinians were killed during the fighting.
The Israeli Shin Bet security agency did not respond to a request for comment.
Israel says administrative detention is needed to prevent attacks or to keep dangerous suspects locked up without sharing evidence that could endanger valuable intelligence sources.
Israel says it provides due process and largely imprisons those who threaten its security, though a small number are held for petty crimes.
Palestinians and human rights groups say the system is designed to quash opposition and maintain permanent control over millions of Palestinians while denying them basic rights.
Prisoners like Awawdeh have looked to hunger strikes as their only means to protest their detentions. Dozens of prisoners have staved off food for weeks to draw attention to their detention without trial or charges.
“The tools detainees have to challenge the unjustness of detention are very few. Hunger strikes are an exceptional measure, a tool for the weakest people who have no other way of advocating for themselves,” said Jessica Montell, the director of Hamoked, an Israeli human rights group, who said Israel had turned its system of incarceration of Palestinians into an “assembly line.”
Lengthy hunger strikes draw international attention and stoke protests in the occupied Palestinian territories, putting pressure on Israel to meet the prisoners’ demands. Amid that pressure, Israel has at times acceded to hunger strikers’ demands.
As hunger strikers’ health deteriorates, they are transferred to Israeli hospitals under guard. They drink water, and medics encourage them to take vitamins, but many refuse.
Haddad said she is hoping to convince a judge that Awawdeh's condition is so life-threatening that he must be released. She said a prison doctor has so far disputed that diagnosis.
No Palestinian in Israeli detention has died as a result of hunger strikes, but doctors say prolonged vitamin deficiency can cause permanent brain damage.
In Awawdeh's home in the occupied West Bank town of Idna, his family was anxiously following the latest cease-fire developments, now that his fate was suddenly linked to international diplomacy.
Awawdeh's wife Dalal told The Associated Press that her husband's release as a result of such efforts would be “a victory for the entire Palestinian cause.”

Walt Disney Co. said Wednesday it is raising prices for streaming subscribers in the U.S. who want to watch Disney+ without ads, as more viewers switch to what CEO Bob Chapek described as the “best value in streaming.”
The price increases are tied to a new tiered service Disney will launch in December for U.S. subscribers. The basic Disney+ service today costs $7.99 per month. Starting in December, that basic service will run ads, so a subscriber who wants no ads will have to upgrade to a premium service that starts at $10.99 per month, a 37.5% rise over current prices. An annual plan will cost $109.99.
“We expect the ad tier to be popular and we expect some people to want to stay with ad-free,” Chief Financial Officer Christine McCarthy said on a conference call with analysts.
Netflix’s most popular streaming plan in the U.S. is now $15.50 per month, and its top-of-the-line plan is $20 per month. That follows several rate hikes to help pay for its original programming, which has become even more important since Disney pulled its programming and classic movies from Netflix after licensing agreements between the companies expired.
Disney said it added 14.4 million subscribers to its Disney+ streaming service in the April-June fiscal quarter. In total, subscribers to all Disney streaming services, which include Hulu and ESPN+, amounted to about 221 million, putting the entertainment giant slightly ahead of Netflix in the streaming wars.
Netflix ended June with 220.7 million subscribers after losing nearly 1 million subscribers in the past quarter.
Disney said paid subscriptions for Disney+ grew by 31%, much of that internationally, over the same time last year. But revenue growth was not as strong due to operating losses from “higher programming and production, technology and marketing costs.”
Disney’s growing streaming sales, combined with a recovering theme park business after pandemic-era shutdowns, led the Burbank, California-based entertainment giant to beat Wall Street expectations with quarterly earnings Wednesday.
Disney reported revenue of $21.5 billion in the three months through July 2, up 26% from the same time last year.
Earnings per share came to $1.09 when excluding certain items. Analysts polled by FactSet projected adjusted earnings of 97 cents per share on revenue of $20.99 billion for the quarter, according to FactSet Research.
Disney said sales at its parks, experiences and products segment grew to $7.39 billion, up 70% from $4.34 billion a year earlier. The numbers represented an ongoing comeback from COVID-19 restrictions that temporarily shuttered all of Disney’s parks in 2020, reduced capacity through much of 2021 and have continued to affect some locations such as Shanghai Disneyland, which was open for just three days in the April-June quarter. | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/entertainment-news/disney-counts-221m-streaming-subscribers-topping-netflix/ | 2022-08-11T14:50:10Z | https://www.rochesterfirst.com/entertainment-news/disney-counts-221m-streaming-subscribers-topping-netflix/ | false | 39 |

Kiely Rodni’s mom pleads for help to find daughter before teen’s birthday & reveals her little brother’s response
MISSING teen Kiely Rodni's desperate mother has pleaded to help find her daughter before the teen's birthday next month, and revealed how her little brother is coping with her disappearance.
The 16-year-old was partying with around 300 young people near Prosser Family Campground in the small town of Truckee, California, last Friday night before she went missing.
She hasn't been in touch with family or friends since early Saturday morning after telling her mom she was about to drive home, and her car and cellphone have still not been located.
Law enforcement, along with the California Highway Patrol and the FBI, have been conducting exhaustive searches of the local area and insist they will leave no stone unturned.
Her emotional mother Lindsey Neiman-Rodni, told The U.S. Sun on Wednesday: "Kiely's birthday is coming up on September 1, I didn't know what she wanted to do yet," adding she "just wants her home."
She said the talented teen, who graduated from high school a year early with honors, was planning to go to the local Sierra College, and was deciding between studying music or medicine.
An accomplished musician, her mom said: "She likes to play everything, she started on the violin when she was very young and then moved to piano a little bit and then guitar, ukulele and mandolin."
As the minutes turn into hours and hours turn into days, Lindsey said the grueling wait is "getting harder", but she's trying to find the strength to keep going.
Asked what's holding her focus, she said: "Love, support, family and community. The outlook and faith … a little bit of zen Buddhist acceptance, you breathe it in and you let it out.
"I show up every day and there are still people here," she added, as more volunteers show up to packed meetings at the local recreational center in Truckee.
Most read in The US Sun
Lindsey said she knew her daughter was going to a party in the woods but wasn’t concerned, telling the U.S. Sun: "There have been parties there every weekend for years, it feels like a safe spot, it’s campground, paved roads, they can sleep overnight if they want to.
"This community feels very safe … this kind of thing does not happen here. It feels surreal."
Lindsey has been trying to stay positive for her family, including Kiely's younger brother Shep, 8, who has been seen at the recreation center with volunteers as they comb the local area for clues.
Asked how the youngster is coping, she said: "He's holding up pretty well, keeping the faith.
"He's eight years old so it's a very delicate balance of being old enough to understand what's going on, but being young enough to not feel all the feelings all the time.
"We are very lucky, we have a lot of family in town and friends.
'I TOLD HER TO BE SAFE'
"Her dad Dan lives in Tahoma and he's been around, we have a good relationship, we're very friendly, we're amicable. And she has a stepdad, Tony."
Discussing the police response, Lindsey said: "They have been transparent with me and they have been responsive when I've reached out with my concerns.
"And they’ve been compassionate and, again, responsive when I’ve lost it, which has happened a couple of times."
Lindsey previously recalled her final conversation with her daughter before she disappeared, saying she got a text late Friday night saying she was leaving the party in 45 minutes and would be "straight home."
"I told her to be safe and that I loved her. And she said, 'OK, mom, I love you, too,'" she recalled in an interview with ABC News on Monday. "She never came home."
"I asked her to wake me up when she got home, like she always does, and she said, 'OK' and 'Thanks, Mom. I love you,' And that's the last I ever heard from her."
Her cellphone went dead just after 12.30am and has been untraceable ever since, according to Angela Musallam, public information officer for the Placer County Sheriff's Office.
'WE'RE SO SCARED & WE MISS HER'
"There is no evidence that supports an abduction, but we are not ruling anything out," sheriffs said on Tuesday during a press conference.
"We won't rule anything out. This is a missing persons case, a search and rescue case."
Police say they have not yet spoken to any teen who saw her leaving the party, and feels somebody has information they may be withholding.
Lindsey, 42, previously posted on Facebook pleading for the public's help to locate her daughter in an emotional video, before the search garnered international attention.
"We just want her home. We're so scared, and we miss her so much, and we love her so much. And Kiely, we love you, and if you see this, please just come home," the emotional mother said.
"I want nothing more than to hug you. And if anybody else out there if you know where she is, if you know anything about where she might be, if you have any ideas or thoughts, please come forward and share them."
Other local, state and federal agencies, including the Truckee Police Department, the Nevada County Sheriff's Office, the California Highway Patrol and the FBI, are assisting the Placer County Sheriff's Office in the investigation, according to Musallam.
Officials are searching for Kiely's 2013 Honda CRV, which has a California license plate of 8YUR127.
Loved ones have set up a website, FindKiely.com, which features all of the updates about the search, while a GoFundMe account has been established to fund a reward for information. | https://www.the-sun.com/news/5975391/kiely-rodnis-mom-pleads-for-help-missing/ | 2022-08-11T14:59:14Z | https://www.the-sun.com/news/5975391/kiely-rodnis-mom-pleads-for-help-missing/ | true | 1 |

If you are keen to be as healthy as possible, you will be aware that your diet is one of the first things you need to consider. Of course, you will need to pay attention to a lot of things concerning your diet to help ensure that you are still being healthy, but in all likelihood, you are probably also keen to still be able to eat deliciously healthy food. Is it possible to combine the two?
The answer is yes, as long as you persist and you know how to balance everything out properly. In this post, we are going to take a look at the kind of approach you can take to ensure that you are remaining healthy even while you eat delicious food.
Get Plenty Of Exercise
One of the main concerns you may have is to ensure you are getting plenty of exercise in your daily life. If you are doing this, then you will have a greater control of your weight, which is of course one of the main concerns you might have when it comes to being healthy, as maintaining a healthy weight is always going to be important in that sense.
This then means that you can still continue to eat pretty much whatever you like, as long as you are exercising enough, and this is an approach that a lot of people take and find to be quite a good balance on the whole.
With enough exercise, you will be able to eat any foods that you like, whether it’s something like crispy oven baked smashed potatoes or your favourtie dessert, so that is an approach that you may want to bear in mind.
Keep Processed Foods To A Minimum
There are plenty of delicious foods out there, but some are healthier than others, and if you want to make sure that you are doing all you can to manage this properly, then one rule you can set yourself is simply to try and keep processed foods to a minimum as best as you can. If you manage that, you should find that you are going to have a much easier time staying healthy, and remember that there are plenty of delicious foods which are not processed, so that is something that you should think about here.
Generally, this will mean finding the deliciousness in more natural foods, like whole foods. If you can do that, then you won’t feel you are making any sacrifices at all in the name of your health, which is a great position to be in because it really is the best of both worlds. So next time you are thinking about eating some processed foods, consider swapping them out for a more natural and healthy food, and you’re going to feel so much better about it on the whole as a result.
Bake Alternative Desserts
These days, it is easier than ever to bake some of your favorite desserts without using too many unhealthy ingredients. For instance, sugar is obviously one of the most problematic ingredients that you can come across, and it will lead to a lot of weight gain and other health issues in life, but you want some sweetness in your desserts.
The solution is simple: you can make many desserts simply by swapping out the sugar for honey, or a natural sweetener alternative. You might be surprised at how delicious these can be, and how easy they are to bake with too. They are really a great way to ensure your sweet treats become healthy food, which is a really fantastic thing to be able to say.
Swap Out The Carbs
Carbohydrates are another big issue when it comes to trying to have a healthy diet, and again the problem is that they can often be some of the most delicious ingredients around. However, the very simple approach you can take here is just to swap out the carbs for wholemeal alternatives. If you do that with your bread, your pasta and rice and grains and so on, you are going to be eating a lot healthier, and you will find that you are much more likely to feel good about it. This is one of the simplest and easiest things you can do to eat healthier without affecting the taste of your food at all.
As you can see, it’s not too hard to eat delicious food while remaining healthy. | https://muncievoice.com/29771/eating-deliciously-healthy-food-is-possible/ | 2022-08-11T15:03:03Z | https://muncievoice.com/29771/eating-deliciously-healthy-food-is-possible/ | true | 1 |
APOPKA, Fla., Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Danielle Sampson's life was forever changed 10 years ago when she was caught in the crossfire of two rival gang members. Simply on her way to celebrate her mother's birthday when a stray bullet penetrated the van she was riding in, striking Danielle and lodging in her brain.
That was the moment that her world came to a stop. Danielle was slumped over and bleeding from her head, her mother Elma Fletcher began screaming, "God, no, save my little girl." Danielle lay unconscious with a bullet in her brain and there began a new chapter of life for Danielle and her family.
"It's really rough," Fletcher told News 6 at her home in Apopka. "I actually do not celebrate birthdays since this happened because I actually celebrate my daughter's life."
Attorney Dan Newlin said he was sitting in his office when he received a phone call 10 years ago from then Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings.
"Sheriff Demings asked me if my law firm would offer a monetary reward for information leading to the arrest of Danielle Sampson's shooter," Newlin said. "I didn't blink, we went live on all the news stations with a large monetary reward for information leading to the shooter and sure enough, the breaking tip came in."
Since that day Newlin says that he has been actively involved in helping Danielle and her family, raising enough money to build a brand new handicapped accessible home, and continuing to lead the legal fight for social security and Medicare benefits which are often delayed and denied.
Now, at 25, Danielle Sampson is sleeping on a bed that does not function properly and Danielle's Medicaid insurance has denied a new handicapped bed, which her doctor states is medically necessary for her survival. The physician's prescription, signed by Dr. Hufusat Oni, calls for a "medically necessary," fully electric bed with rails.
Despite her history with Newlin's law firm, Fletcher told Orlando's News 6 she was reluctant to ask for more help, so News 6 did it for her. News 6 met with Newlin at Atlantic Aviation located at the Orlando International Airport where he was returning from Shand's Hospital where he was being recognized for his assistance in Ukrainian emergency medical efforts.
When News 6 explained to Newlin what was happening, he stated, "Why should Danielle suffer to get the things that she needs? When I see these denials, especially with Danielle, it makes me so angry." "Here is a young woman that is bedridden, cannot eat, must be tube fed, and she is laying in a broken bed. We will fight this insurance denial and win, but in the meantime, I will not just stand back and watch Danielle suffer in a broken bed. Our law firm will step up and buy a new bed for Danielle and it will be done this week and it will be the best of the best."
When told of Newlin's generosity, Fletcher put her face into her hands, looked up, smiled, and said, "Oh my goodness, thank you. God, thank you."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Walgreens can be held responsible for contributing to San Francisco’s opioid crisis for over-dispensing highly addictive drugs for years without proper oversight and failing to identify and report suspicious orders as required by law.
San Francisco City Attorney David Chiu said the pharmacy chain “continually violated what they were required to do under the federal Controlled Substances Act,” failing to track opioid prescriptions, preventing pharmacists from vetting prescriptions and “nor did they see the many red flags of physicians and others who were dramatically over-prescribing.”
“Pharmacists were pressured to fill, fill, fill,” he said, “and as a result, Walgreens filled our streets with opioids.”
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer wrote in his decision that from 2006 to 2020, “Walgreens pharmacies in San Francisco dispensed hundreds of thousands of red flag opioid prescriptions without performing adequate due diligence. Tens of thousands of these prescriptions were written by doctors with suspect prescribing patterns. The evidence showed that Walgreens did not provide its pharmacists with sufficient time, staffing, or resources to perform due diligence on these prescriptions.”
He said the large volume of illegitimate opioid prescriptions contributed to the city’s hospitals being overwhelmed with opioid patients, libraries being forced to close because of syringe-clogged toilets, and syringes littering children’s playgrounds in San Francisco.
A Walgreens spokesman said the chain is disappointed in the outcome, which he said is not supported by the facts and the law.
“As we have said throughout this process, we never manufactured or marketed opioids, nor did we distribute them to the ‘pill mills’ and internet pharmacies that fueled this crisis,” spokesman Fraser Engerman said in a statement. “The plaintiff’s attempt to resolve the opioid crisis with an unprecedented expansion of public nuisance law is misguided and unsustainable. We look forward to the opportunity to address these issues on appeal.”
San Francisco in 2018 sued Walgreens and drug manufacturers and distributors over the city’s worsening opioid epidemic, saying they created a “public nuisance” by flooding the city with prescription opioids. All the other defendants previously settled with the city for a total of $114 million, including $54 million that opioid makers Allergan and Teva agreed to pay on the eve of closing arguments in the trial, leaving Walgreens as the sole defendant.
Wednesday’s ruling did not include a ruling on monetary damages, which will be determined in a future trial.
The opioid epidemic has been linked to more than 500,000 deaths in the U.S. over the past two decades, counting those from prescription painkillers such as OxyContin and generic oxycodone as well as illicit drugs such as heroin and illegally produced fentanyl.
The surge in deaths has led to more than 3,000 lawsuits filed by state and local governments, Native American tribes, unions, hospitals and other entities in state and federal courts over the toll of opioids. In San Francisco, Mayor London Breed declared a state of emergency last year in the Tenderloin neighborhood, saying something had to be done about the high concentration of drug dealers and people consuming drugs in public.
The city attorney’s office says San Francisco saw a nearly 500% increase in opioid-related overdose deaths between 2015 and 2020 and that on a typical day, roughly a quarter of visits at the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital Emergency Department are opioid-related.
In 2020, 712 people died of drug overdoses, compared with 257 people who died of COVID-19, according to the city health department.
A high percentage of an estimated 7,800 homeless people in San Francisco — many of whom pitch tents in the Tenderloin — are struggling with chronic addiction or severe mental illness, often both. Some people rant in the streets, nude and in need of medical help.
Pharmacy chains have been sued less often than opioid makers or wholesalers that distribute pharmaceuticals more broadly. In one groundbreaking case, a federal jury in Ohio last year found CVS, Walgreens and Walmart recklessly distributed massive amounts of pain pills in two Ohio counties.
In May, Walgreens reached a $683 million settlement with the state of Florida in a lawsuit accusing the company of improperly dispensing millions of painkillers that contributed to the opioid crisis. Walgreens did not admit wrongdoing in its agreement with Florida and will make payments to the state over 18 years.
The company also faces litigation in Alabama, Michigan and New Mexico, among other states.
Deerfield, Illinois-based Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc. runs a network of around 9,000 drugstores in the United States. Walgreens and other prescription drug distributors have faced a slew of lawsuits over the opioid crisis.

"If you're capable and interested in making security and privacy-centric contributions for the betterment of the nation, there are no funding vehicles more powerful than HSTech's consortium-managed other transaction authority," said Matthew Laudon, Vice President - TechConnect Division, ATI. "The Security Innovation Challenge will bring together finalists which are 85% non-traditional, meaning they are new to government contracting. These are technology solutions our nation might never have found without HSTech engagement, and we're honored to help build that bridge between private-sector and government needs."
Challenge applicants represent privacy-centric solutions for both civilian and federal applications, especially in the areas of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML); cybersecurity platforms; data harmonization software; pattern recognition software; and real-time analytics platforms. Primarily more advanced technologies, 65% represent technology readiness level six (6) or higher; and 85% boast at least prototype development.
"The Homeland Security Technology Consortium supports the security of our nation by addressing mission needs at the Department of Homeland Security and its partner agencies. Privacy-centric identity management technologies and processes remain critical capabilities across the federal enterprise, and we're excited to see what this group of innovators can show us in September," said Michael Dougherty, Executive Director of HSTech.

Winter blackouts are being planned as part of the 'reasonable worst case scenario' preparations by the UK Government. The planned blackouts mean the energy in households and businesses would be turned off for hours during the coldest months of the year.
As the UK stores less gas than countries like France and Germany, emergency measures could be enacted if imports run low. Worsening matters is the high cost of importing gas from abroad since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
The Telegraph has reported that the UK's gas network has been preparing for more than a month, with similar talks in the electricity network. The rationing is a process called load-shedding that is common in developing countries, says Mark Nelson, managing director of consultancy Radiant Energy Group.
He explained: "Many developing countries have load-shedding, billions of people know what this means, it's just rich countries have not had to deal with it."
If Russia cuts its supply to the EU, blackouts could start in December and last for months, says the Telegraph. They say ministers have been told energy rationing may be needed at the start of 2023 between 7am and 10am and from 4pm to 9pm.
Mr Nelson said: "People will relearn lots of things about daily rhythms of life before they had central heat or cheap electricity. It's a hard way to live and, as a society, Britain hasn't had to do this for a very long time.
"Tea will become one of the main sources of warm comfort because it doesn't take that much energy to boil a bit of water for tea."
One insider told the newspaper that a national advertising campaign will be needed to explain to people why there are going to be blackouts, and what action they should take. The Government has been planning action in case of blackouts since May.
Gas-fired power stations could close along with factories that use large amounts of gas.
