UNDER WATCH: Taiwan will have to establish a standardized nucleic acid testing method to identify the virus and monitor its spread, the CDC said The Langya henipavirus, which can be transmitted from animals to humans, has been discovered in China, with 35 human infections reported so far, Taiwan’s Centers for Disease Control (CDC) said, adding that the nation would establish a nucleic acid testing method to identify the virus. A study titled “A Zoonotic Henipavirus in Febrile Patients in China” that was published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday said that a new henipavirus associated with a fever-causing human illness was identified in China. The study said an investigation identified 35 patients with acute infection of the Langya henipavirus in China’s Shandong
If any war were to break out between the US and China, one trigger might be the increasingly frequent fighter jet encounters near Taiwan. Almost every day, Taiwanese fighter pilots hop in their US-made F-16s to intercept Chinese warplanes screaming past their territory. The encounters probe the nation’s defenses and force the pilots on both sides to avoid mistakes that could lead to a crisis that spins out of control. “I didn’t know whether they would fire at me,” said retired colonel Mountain Wang, recounting a tense five-minute confrontation he had with Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) jets more than a decade
INCREASINGLY EMBOLDENED: China can no longer be dismissed as inexperienced, demonstrating an ability to coordinate land and sea missile systems, an expert said Beijing’s largest-ever exercises around Taiwan have offered essential clues into its plans for a grueling blockade in the event of an attack on Taiwan, and revealed an increasingly emboldened Chinese military, experts said. The visit to Taiwan by US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi — second in line to the presidency — sparked outrage from Beijing, which launched vast military maneuvers around the nation, even at the risk of partially exposing its plans to the US and its Asian allies. Mobilizing fighter planes, helicopters and warships, the drills aim to simulate a blockade of Taiwan and include practicing an “attack on
RESTRICTION EASED: Passengers would no longer be directed to designated waiting areas, and be allowed to shop and dine, the operator of the airport said International travelers transiting at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport would from today be allowed to go shopping and dine in the airport’s departure areas, the airport operator said, as the Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) eased some border restrictions imposed to contain the spread of COVID-19. Taoyuan International Airport Corp said reopening borders is a global trend, and since reallowing transit passengers from June 15, the airport has continued to review its procedures to improve services and efficiency.

Everyone experiences repeating memories throughout their life, and without fail, nostalgia brings us back to the past when we were kids. Now, who doesn’t want that? In this article, we’ll provide you with ways to find and reconnect with some of those friends from the past.
Why Should You Reconnect With Old Friends?
When we grow up, we may move away from our childhood friends. This can be due to different lives getting in the way or simply forgetting about each other. However, reconnecting with old friends can be a great way to feel closer to them and build new memories. Here are a few reasons why reconnecting with old friends is a great idea:
- It can improve your relationship. The last time you saw each other, you might have been fighting but now that you’re both adults, you may have a better relationship if you Reconnect.
- It can make you create new memories. Reconnecting with old friends can give you the opportunity to make some new memories together, whether it’s going out for drinks or doing something fun as a group.
- It can help you get over difficult times. When things are tough in your life, reconnecting with old friends can help you relive happier memories which will make things a little easier.
- It can spark new ideas for your life. When you spend time with old friends, you may start thinking of new ways to live your life that you didn’t think of before.
Use Social Media Platforms
The best way to reconnect with old friends is through social media platforms. Look for online communities or discussion boards that focus on your favorite subject matter and make a post asking if anyone knows the person mentioned. You may be surprised at how easily this method works.
Through these social media platforms, you can stay in touch with each other without ever having to meet in person. You can also create mutual groups on these sites where you can share pictures, updates, and memories.
Go Out Of Your Way
If you don’t have access to social media or are unable to post on forums, you can still find your old friends by visiting meetup groups related to your interests and looking for people who share your background. This method can be more time-consuming, but it’s worth it if you’re genuinely interested in reconnecting with someone.
Doing things like asking around in your old neighborhoods or schools could be a great start. You can also try going to your old favorite spots such as parks, diners, and ice cream shops. They might be going to the same spots with their own families.
Look In Public Records
Another great way to find and reconnect with a childhood friend is to look in public records. There, you can look up their contact information by searching for addresses, social media profiles, and other information that may lead you back to them. You can also search through old-school dossiers or check directories like Yellow Pages or Google search.
This may require more effort, but oftentimes these databases contain detailed information about people, including their addresses and ages, which can help you reconnect with them easily. If you’re lucky, they may have updated their contact information on their website or online profile.
Attend A Local Party
Party hopping can be a great way to reconnect with old friends and make new ones. Whether you’re looking to catch up with classmates from elementary school or strike up a conversation with a work colleague from when you both used to volunteer at the same animal shelter, there’s bound to be at least one local party worthy of your attendance.
Plan Or Attend A Reunion
When you find yourself moving away from your childhood friends, it can be hard to reconnect. Reunions can be a great way to get in touch with them again, especially if there are always organized events that coincide with holidays or significant anniversaries. For example, a ten-year reunion for high school students may also include a class reunion for older attendees.
Below are some tips on how to organize a reunion:
- Invite everyone from the year that you graduated.
- Organize the reunion around one year prior and provide information about how to get in contact with others.
- Ask attendees for photos of when they were kids.
- Come up with a location and venue as a collective. In some instances, it may also help to partner with an organization that sponsors reunions. They may offer benefits such as travel, food, and refreshments for potential participants.
- Get a great DJ and attractions during the reunion that can help make it more fun and memorable
Hometown Festivals
If you’re ever looking for a great way to reconnect with a childhood friend, consider hitting up one of your hometown’s festivals! Whether you and your old pal are big fans of the same band or simply enjoy spending time together, these events are sure to bring back some great memories. By attending these, you’ll run into a few of your childhood friends for sure!
Fun Things To Do With Childhood Friends
Once you’ve found your childhood friends, what are some fun things you can do together?
Here are a few ideas:
Go on a nostalgic walk down memory lane. This can include looking at old photos and videos of when you were in school. Talking about funny stories that happened can also bring back great memories.
Catch up on current life. You haven’t spoken in maybe years, so spending some time to discuss what’s new in each person’s life would be beneficial. Is anyone married and with kids? Where does everyone work now? Questions like these are a great start to getting to know your friend more.
Watch favorite childhood movies or TV shows together. There has to be a show or movie you binge-watched with your friend. There’s no better way to relive some memories than watching them again, but this time, as adults.
It can feel difficult to reconnect with a childhood friend after years of separation, but there are plenty of ways to make that happen. Social media platforms offer an easy way to keep in touch, and many of us also maintain contact through online forums or message boards. By following these tips, you can easily reconnect with your old friends and forge new ones along the way. | https://southernmarylandchronicle.com/2022/08/12/great-ways-to-find-and-reconnect-with-a-childhood-friend/ | 2022-08-12T23:38:24Z | https://southernmarylandchronicle.com/2022/08/12/great-ways-to-find-and-reconnect-with-a-childhood-friend/ | false | 1 |

(The Center Square) – Sangamon County Judge Raylene Grischow on Friday dismissed most defendants from a large lawsuit parents brought over mask and exclusion mandates. The attorney that brought the case intends to continue the challenge against the 34 remaining defendants.
The case was against about 145 Illinois school districts, Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration and the Illinois State Board of Education over COVID-19 mask and exclusion mandates. For most of the school districts, the Pritzker administration and the Illinois State Board of Education, the case is “moot,” Grischow said.
“The court allowed those school districts which filed sworn affidavits that no mask or exclusion policies were in place, and with no intention of implementing them, to be dismissed from the case,” plaintiffs’ attorney Thomas DeVore told The Center Square following the judge's ruling. “Those districts which failed to file such an affidavit remain in the case.”
Parents of hundreds of school children were plaintiffs in the case and were seeking protection from mask and exclusion requirements without due process, a ruling against the state preventing it from implementing such rules and barring any enforcement by schools. The case was filed last fall when districts were enforcing Pritzker’s mask and exclusion executive orders without due process of local county health orders. Pritzker’s orders were issued in the spring of 2020 and modified over time.
Earlier this year, Grischow issued a temporary restraining order against school districts implementing Pritzker’s mandates without providing parents and students due process.
“The arbitrary method as to contact tracing and masking in general continue to raise fair questions as to the legality of the Executive Orders in light of violations of healthy children’s substantive due process rights,” Grischow wrote in the Feb. 4 order. “Statutory rights have attempted to be bypassed through the issuance of Executive Orders and Emergency Rules … This type of evil is exactly what the law was intended to constrain.”
Days later, a legislative body suspended the emergency rules. On appeal, the order was vacated and kicked back to the lower court in February. That was the same day the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention modified guidance for schools, which Pritzker said gave him the ability to lift the mandates.
With the case back in the circuit court, some of the school district defendants and the state were seeking the lawsuit to be dismissed as moot.
Darren Kinkead, with the Illinois attorney general’s office, compared new guidance issued in June with recommendations to not eat undercooked meat.
“No one actually is compelled to follow it,” Kinkead said Wednesday in court. “It is purely advisory. So again, whether the school districts implement it or not, that’s up to them.”
DeVore, who is also the Republican candidate for Illinois attorney general, argued against dismissal.
“The case is gone, school districts start doing all kinds of stuff,” DeVore said. “Are they going to adopt the CDC-slash-[Illinois Department of Public Health] guidance in some fashion? Are they going to do some hybrid of that, etcetera.”
Friday, Grischow said “Plaintiffs did not sustain their burden” pertaining to most of the defendants.
“Here, no relief can be granted as the school districts do not have any policies that mandate masks or exclusion from school due to being a close contact,” she wrote. “The State Parties are not mandating mask mandates or exclusion policies and the school districts are not implementing mask mandates and/or close contact exclusion policies, therefore plaintiffs’ claims are moot. The new joint guidance … that supersedes all prior COVID-19 guidance, is exactly that - guidance.”
While schools are encouraged to follow the guidance, Grischow said “there is no mandate.”
Grishow dismissed the case for most of the school districts, the Pritzker administration and ISBE.
“The Governor and his agencies were also dismissed after the Attorney General’s Office admitted to the judge the state’s guidance has always been nothing but recommendations,” DeVore said. “My clients and I will continue to pursue claims against the school districts which will not proclaim under oath to discontinue harmful mask and exclusion policies.”
DeVore also said he’ll be watching what districts that were dismissed do.
“Should any of these school districts being dismissed reinstate their policies, my clients and I will immediately drag the district back to Court,” DeVore said. “Judge Grischow's ruling is based upon these commitments made by the school districts and the state parties. Today is a good day for my clients.”
DeVore said 111 districts were dismissed from the case with 34 remaining. | https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/judge-dismisses-mask-and-exclusion-lawsuit-against-most-schools-state-dismissed-saying-cases-are-moot/article_74b0f44c-1a77-11ed-8069-6771e20618d4.html | 2022-08-12T23:44:01Z | https://www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/judge-dismisses-mask-and-exclusion-lawsuit-against-most-schools-state-dismissed-saying-cases-are-moot/article_74b0f44c-1a77-11ed-8069-6771e20618d4.html | false | 3 |

WASHINGTON (AP) — As Juan Soto began the walk to the visitors' clubhouse at Nationals Park on Friday for the first time as an opposing player, he passed photos hanging on either side of the tunnel showing past Washington players — a gallery that already includes an image of him, smiling in a blue jersey with a red No. 22.
Then he ran into reliever Sean Doolittle, a teammate on Washington's 2019 World Series-winning squad, and they hugged and laughed before Soto ducked into the San Diego Padres' clubhouse.
The Nationals traded their homegrown, 23-year-old star to the Padres on Aug. 2, a move that would have been shocking a year or even months earlier. But not much has gone right for Washington since that 2019 title, making a long-term deal with Soto unlikely and motivating general manager Mike Rizzo to swap him and first baseman Josh Bell for a slew of San Diego's top prospects.
Ten days later, Soto was back — and a bit surprised by the horde of reporters who formed a cramped horseshoe around him in the Padres' dugout before the game.
“I didn’t know that so many people (were) going to be around me,” Soto said. “I know it’s the media and everything, but it feels kind of weird.”
Soto was struck by the oddity of returning to Washington so quickly after the trade. He realized his return trip was less than two weeks away and told teammates, “It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later.”
He said fitting in with the Padres has been “amazing” and an easy transition.
Soto made his debut on May 20, 2018, at age 19, and evolved from eye-popping teenager to World Series champion to a future free agent the Nationals felt they could not afford. His potential destination was the dominant storyline in baseball ahead of the trade deadline.
“I think people know me more now,” Soto said. “All the transitions, it’s just the same thing. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter how big I am or how much the people know me. I’m still going to be the same guy. Anywhere I’m going, I’m going to be the same Juan Soto. So for me, for my family, for my friends, for my teammates, I’m going to be the same guy every day. So the transitions aren’t that bad. I’ve just been pretty cool with it, and still being the same Juan.”
Fans in Soto jerseys watched him take batting practice in a brown long-sleeve shirt and high brown socks. Soto wasn't sure what kind of reception he'd get once the game started. He typically ran to right field and pointed two index fingers at his cheering fans.
But he's proud of what he achieved in Washington, where he became one of baseball's best hitters and most popular players.
“I don’t know what they’re going to do,” Soto said. “I don’t know what they’re going to have for me or anything like that. But I just know I gave my 100 percent every time I was in that clubhouse and with that team. Every day they saw me coming out to the field, they saw my 100 percent. I don’t know how they’re going to react. But for me, I gave all that I had.”

GLEN DALE, W.Va. (WTRF) — For more than nine decades, West Virginia’s firefighters meet up from all over the state to connect, discuss their line of work, and remember.
Today’s memorial service in Marshall County honored the work both of those who were lost, and those who still serve.
Dozens of bell chimes rang out this morning at St. Jude’s Church in Glen Dale, to remember each firefighter the Mountain State lost in the last year and a half.
It’s part of the Firemen’s Association Convention, where members gather to reflect and renew their commitment.
For the 94th year, firefighters acknowledged the sacrifice of their fallen members and recognized the invisible struggles they cope with.
Chaplain Mitchell Johnston spoke on first responders’ mental health and in recognizing the opportunities God gives to all of us.
He says the hours of training involved even for a volunteer is something many people don’t understand.
To even be on that truck to go answer that call, or to be involved in an ambulance that is responding to an auto accident or a fire call, each and every one of those require a huge amount of commitment on the family.
Dr. Mitchell Johnston, Marshall County Fire Chaplain
Firefighters in attendance stood as the name of their friends, leaders and mentors were named.
Dr. Johnston says it’s a bond that’s made even more meaningful by the fact that so many firefighters are related by blood.
So you’re running a call with a brother, a sister, a cousin, a family member, and they may be coming on another truck from another department too as well.
Dr. Mitchell Johnston, Marshall County Fire Chaplain
When you hear those sirens in your own community, Dr. Johnston asks all of us to pause just for a moment and pull over.
He says it’s important to have compassion for just how many traumatic events firefighters are witness to.
Give them an opportunity to go do their job to help somebody, because probably when you’re hearing or seeing us, it usually means somebody is having a bad day, a rough day, and we’re here to try to help them.
Dr. Mitchell Johnston, Marshall County Fire Chaplain

The NFL is a league that relies on fan interaction as much as quality output on the field.
Over the years, the importance of players connecting with fans has grown exponentially. However, not every individual is as easily liked as others.
There are those who are loved by all, players like Patrick Mahomes who just exude professionalism, talent, and youthful energy.
However, some players find it harder to connect with fans, not least because of their actions on and off the field. It is, though, rare for almost all NFL fans to dislike an individual, but it isn’t impossible.
There have been cases where a player has behaved so badly on a consistent basis that fans have lost patience with and trust in him completely. Here are five such players.
#1 – Richie Incognito
There has been a certain amount of rehabilitation for Incognito amongst NFL fans, however he was exceedingly unpopular earlier in his career.
While among the premier offensive linemen in the NFL in his day, Incognito has been dogged for his part in the bullying scandal that rocked the league in 2013.
Incognito was accused of harassing teammate Jonathan Martin, with Martin fearing reprisals from Incognito should he ever speak out about his treatment of him.
Incognito had previously been reprimanded within the Miami Dolphins organization for how he treated staff members. He was alleged to have sent threatening and racist text messages to Martin.
Miami suspended Incognito after a voice clip was released which proved he was guilty of using racist language and threatening both Martin and his family members.
His reputation within the NFL has gotten worse over the years, with other players accusing him of playing dirty. Incognito was accused of gouging eyes, punching players, and making illegal late hits on a regular basis.
He was voted the 'Dirtiest Player in the League' in a Sporting News poll in 2009.
#2 – Antonio Brown
Antonio Brown has virtually torpedoed his own reputation within the NFL through his own actions.
It may feel slightly unfair to put the blame on him entirely, but it’s difficult to find evidence which doesn’t indicate as much.
He was so well liked during his Pittsburgh Steelers career as he was a dynamic, powerful, and successful wide receiver who outperformed his sixth-round draft spot in spectacular fashion.
It all started to go downhill when he got agitated in Pittsburgh. He wanted more money and he sunk all his relationships in the Steel City to get it.
After burning bridges with the Steelers, Brown eventually got his trade to the Raiders and his behavior immediately went off the rails. From a frostbite injury on his toe, right through to refusing to practice with the Raiders, Brown signed a lucrative deal but didn’t even make it to the start of the season before he was cut.
NFL fans couldn’t understand a player costing himself money that they would have done anything to have, for matters as small as a helmet manufacturer.
What followed were criminal accusations of sexual assault against Brown, and this cut short his stay in New England to just two weeks.
He was finally able to steady himself in Tampa Bay, winning a Super Bowl before refusing to go onto the field in a game against the Jets. He subsequently took off his jersey and ran off the field towards the locker room as the game went on.
#3 – Johnny Manziel
Johnny Manziel had the reputation of an NFL star before he ever played a snap in the NFL.
Unfortunately, his behavior stopped him from ever settling down in the league, and fans simply lost respect for the Texas A&M graduate.
He offered very little to a Cleveland Browns team that was bereft of quality, and when it emerged that he was partying too much off the field, fans just turned off on him.
Allegations of domestic abuse furthered Manziel’s plight in the eyes of fans who had once adored him in college. He has never been back in the NFL after Cleveland cut him.
#4 – Ndamukong Suh
Ndamukong Suh is a dominant defensive star and there can be no questioning his ability, but it is the consistent dirty plays that have made fans universally dislike him.
While winning the Super Bowl with Tampa Bay has added an element of success to his career, Suh has been overly physical in the past.
He was fined as an NFL rookie for a pre-season facemask penalty, while he was also given a fine for unnecessary roughness against Jay Cutler.
A further incident saw Suh stomp on a Green Bay Packers lineman. He then kicked Matt Schaub and stepped on Aaron Rodgers’ calf.
These dirty plays have gained no respect from fans at all and have detracted away from all of Suh’s excellent defensive qualities.
#5 – Vontaze Burfict
It’s virtually impossible to find an NFL fan who likes Vontaze Burfict. His behavior within the league has been deplorable, not least because of the underhand nature of it, but the fact it has put others in real danger.
There have been too many instances of late hits and dangerous tackles in Burfict’s career. But he has been suspended and fined so many times that even Roger Goodell had enough and banned him for an entire year in 2019.
The most noted incident was a disgusting blindside hit on Antonio Brown, one which people still talk about to this day.
It was a cowardly act and saw him take a dangerous free shot at someone who couldn’t defend themselves. Fans have no time for that in the NFL and Burfict only has himself to blame for his universal reputation as a thug. | https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/5-nfl-players-universally-disliked-fans | 2022-08-13T00:00:07Z | https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/5-nfl-players-universally-disliked-fans | false | 1 |

New book by Mike Meier "The Final Days of Doggerland" now available as eBook on Amazon
"The Final Days of Doggerland," a pre-historic story set in Northern Europe, is now available on Kindle. It is illustrated by the Uruguayan artist Guarazu.
... And with survival as your biggest worry, the only other thing you may be able to think of, if you ever find the time, would be your purpose in life ...”
CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA, USA, August 12, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Did you know that until about 6,000 years ago, England was connected by land to Northern Europe? We now call that connecting land "Doggerland." If such historical facts interest you, then this book is for you. “The Final Days of Doggerland” is a Stone Age story, written by the award-winning author of “JoinWith.Me” and “The Love Hex or Nicest Flings in Mexico.” It is beautifully illustrated by the Uruguayan artist Guarazú, and contains 5 songs that the author wrote for the story. Many aspects of the story are based on archeological facts, such as the migration of the Yamnaya people, the disappearance of Doggerland, the use of garlic mustard to spice food, and the arrival of blue-eyed people in Northern Europe from the area of the Black Sea.— Mike Meier, author of "The Final Days of Doggerland"
In “The Final Days of Doggerland,” a group of weary nomads arrive in Northwestern Europe in the remnants of Doggerland and attempt to build a home. But the women and children of the group become captives of the more skilled Bollebarg tribe, led by a ruthless chief, Viggo. One of the captives, Oane, relies on her talent for crafting poisons to survive, while pondering how to reach firm land in the west. But her planned escape may come with a price.
When author Mike Meier began researching his third book, a Neolithic novel set in Doggerland, the land that once connected Northern Europe to what is now England, he was fascinated to discover several enlightening archeological facts, such as the migration of the Yamnaya people, the use of spices in food, and a land sinking into the sea. Meier’s historic tale begins during the time of the early westward migrations from the Pontic steppe between the Southern Bug, Dniester and Ural rivers. “I have tried to create a world as it was 6,000 ago in Northern Europe,” Meier notes. “A time where one’s only goal was to survive.”
Meier’s vision of Neolithic tribalism is brought to life through his vivid illustrations and original songs. And as he explores the motivation to survive at a time when death was a constant threat, Meier lends perspective to modern concerns. “Imagine if your biggest worry was not your next social media post or who wins the election, but simply survival,” Meier posits. “And with survival as your biggest worry, the only other thing you may be able to think of, if you ever find the time, would be your purpose in life.”

Instead of meeting every Monday night, the Sandwich City Council will instead gather every first and third Monday night beginning next month under a plan approved by the council in a 5-4 vote Aug. 8.
Mayor Todd Latham cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of the motion to change the meeting schedule. Latham said the council will continue to hold the same number of scheduled meetings each month, consolidated to two meeting dates.
The new schedule structure will begin the first week in September, with the first regular and committee-of-the whole council meetings to be held on Tuesday Sept. 6, as Monday Sept. 5 is the Labor Day holiday.
Until now, the council has held its regular meetings on the second and fourth Monday of every month and committee-of-the-whole meetings on the first and third Monday.
Under the new meeting plan, the council will gather every other week for a regular council meeting at 7 p.m., immediately followed by a committee of the whole meeting.
Alderpersons Rich Robinson, Bill Littlebrant, Cara Killey and Rick Whitecotton voted no on the motion to approve the change, and alderpersons Fred Kreinbrink, Karsta Erickson, Rebecca Johnson, and Bill Fritsch voted in favor.
Robinson spoke against the motion prior to voting, saying the council would be less informed and less engaged meeting twice per month.
“I think we have a pretty strong council,” Robinson said. “I think it (consolidating) would be a weakening of the council.”
Robinson also voiced concern that public voices would be diminished with less meetings, adding that he would rather wait to change structure until a city administrator was hired.
Littlebrant voiced concerns about engagement with the new structure. He said his job sometimes requires him to leave town on short notice, and only meeting twice per month could cause him to miss more than he would currently.
Latham said when they began discussions on restructuring the meeting schedule, he surveyed 19 other communities. He said 17 of the 19 he surveyed were meeting twice per month.
“If other communities have been successful, so should we,” Latham said. | https://www.shawlocal.com/kendall-county-now/2022/08/12/sandwich-mayor-casts-tie-breaking-vote-in-favor-of-consolidating-council-meetings/ | 2022-08-13T00:02:32Z | https://www.shawlocal.com/kendall-county-now/2022/08/12/sandwich-mayor-casts-tie-breaking-vote-in-favor-of-consolidating-council-meetings/ | true | 1 |
In Biden’s big bill: Climate, health care, deficit reduction
WASHINGTON (AP) — The biggest investment ever in the U.S. to fight climate change. A hard-fought cap on out-of-pocket prescription drug costs for Medicare recipients. A new corporate minimum tax to ensure big businesses pay their share.
And billions left over to pay down federal deficits.
All told, the Democrats’ “Inflation Reduction Act” may not do much to immediately tame inflationary price hikes. But the package that won final congressional approval in the House on Friday and is heading to the White House for President Joe Biden’s signature will touch countless American lives with longtime party proposals.
Not as robust as Biden’s initial ideas to rebuild America’s public infrastructure and family support systems, the compromise of health care, climate change and deficit-reduction strategies is also a stunning election year turnaround, a smaller but not unsubstantial product brought back to political life after having collapsed last year.
Democrats alone supported the package, as Republicans lined up against it. Republicans deride the 730-page bill as big government overreach and point particular criticism at its $80 billion investment in the IRS to hire new employees and go after tax scofflaws.
Voters will be left to sort it out in the November elections, when control of Congress will be decided.
Here’s what’s in the estimated $740 billion package — made up of $440 billion in new spending and $300 billion toward easing deficits— that is up for final approval Friday in the House.
LOWER PRESCRIPTION DRUG COSTS
Launching a long-sought goal, the bill would allow the Medicare program to negotiate some prescription drug prices with pharmaceutical companies, saving the federal government some $288 billion over the 10-year budget window.
The result is expected to lower costs for older adults on medications, including a $2,000 out-of-pocket cap for older adults buying prescriptions from pharmacies.
The revenue raised would also be used to provide free vaccinations for seniors, who now are among the few not guaranteed free access, according to a summary document.
Seniors would also have insulin prices capped at $35 a month.
HELP PAYING FOR HEALTH INSURANCE
The bill would extend the subsidies provided during the COVID-19 pandemic to help some Americans who buy health insurance on their own.
Under earlier pandemic relief, the extra help was set to expire this year. But the bill would allow the assistance to keep going for three more years, lowering insurance premiums for some 13 million people who are purchasing their own health care policies through the Affordable Care Act.
BIGGEST U.S. INVESTMENT ‘BY FAR’ IN CLIMATE CHANGE
The bill would infuse nearly $375 billion over the decade in climate change-fighting strategies that Democrats believe could put the country on a path to cut greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2030, and “would represent the single biggest climate investment in U.S. history, by far.”
For consumers, that means tax rebates to buy electric vehicles — $4,000 for used vehicle purchase and up to $7,500 for new ones, eligible to households with incomes of $300,000 or less for couples, or single people with income of $150,000 or less.
Not all electric vehicles will fully qualify for the tax credits, thanks to requirements that component parts be manufactured and assembled in the U.S. And pricier cars costing more than $55,000 and SUVs and trucks priced above $80,000 are excluded.
There’s also tax breaks for consumers to go green. One is a 10-year consumer tax credit for renewable energy investments in wind and solar.
For businesses, the bill has $60 billion for a clean energy manufacturing tax credit and $30 billion for a production tax credit for wind and solar, seen as ways to boost and support the industries that can help curb the country’s dependence on fossil fuels.
The bill also gives tax credits for nuclear power and carbon capture technology that oil companies such as Exxon Mobil have invested millions of dollars to advance.
The bill would impose a new fee on excess methane emissions from oil and gas drilling while giving fossil fuel companies access to more leases on federal lands and waters.
A late addition pushed by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and other Democrats in Arizona, Nevada and Colorado would designate $4 billion to combat a mega-drought in the West, including conservation efforts in the Colorado River Basin, which nearly 40 million Americans rely on for drinking water.
HOW TO PAY FOR ALL OF THIS?
One of the biggest revenue-raisers in the bill is a new 15% minimum tax on corporations that earn more than $1 billion in annual profits.
It’s a way to clamp down on some 200 U.S. companies that avoid paying the standard 21% corporate tax rate, including some that end up paying no taxes at all.
The new corporate minimum tax would kick in after the 2022 tax year and raise more than $258 billion over the decade.
There will also be a new 1% excise tax imposed on stock buybacks, raising some $74 billion over the decade.
Savings from allowing Medicare’s negotiations with the drug companies is expected to bring in $288 billion over 10 years, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.
The bill sticks with Biden’s original pledge not to raise taxes on families or businesses making less than $400,000 a year.
Yet money is also raised by boosting the IRS to go after tax cheats. The bill proposes an $80 billion investment in taxpayer services, enforcement and modernization, which is projected to raise $203 billion in new revenue — a net gain of $124 billion over the decade.
EXTRA MONEY TO PAY DOWN DEFICITS
With some $740 billion in new revenue and around $440 billion in new investments, the bill promises to put the difference of about $300 billion toward deficit reduction.
Federal deficits spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic when federal spending soared and tax revenues fell as the nation’s economy churned through shutdowns, closed offices and other massive changes.
The nation has seen deficits rise and fall in recent years. But overall federal budgeting is on an unsustainable path, according to the Congressional Budget Office, which recently put out a new report on long-term projections.
WHAT’S LEFT BEHIND?
The package, nowhere near the sweeping Build Back Better program Biden once envisioned, remains a sizable undertaking and, along with COVID-19 relief and the GOP 2017 tax cuts, is among the more substantial bills from Congress in years.
While Congress did pass and Biden signed into law a $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill for highways, broadband and other investments that was part of the White House’s initial vision, the Democrats’ other big priorities have slipped away.
Gone, for now, are are plans for free pre-kindergarten and community college, as well as the nation’s first paid family leave program that would have provided up to $4,000 a month for births, deaths and other pivotal needs. Also allowed to expire is the enhanced child care credit that was providing $300 a month during the pandemic.

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — Idaho's strict abortion bans will be allowed to take effect while legal challenges over the laws play out in court, the Idaho Supreme Court ruled on Friday.
A doctor and a regional Planned Parenthood affiliate sued the state earlier this year over three anti-abortion laws, all of which were designed to take effect this year now that the U.S. Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade.
Under the ruling, a near-total criminalizing all abortions — but allowing doctors to defend themselves at trial by claiming the abortion was done to save the pregnant person's life — will take effect Aug. 25.
Another law is also going into effect that allows potential relatives of an embryo or fetus to sue abortion providers for up to $20,000 within four years of an abortion. Rapists cannot sue under the law, but a rapists' family members would be able to sue.
Planned Parenthood has also sued over a third strict ban criminalizing abortions done after six weeks of gestation except for in cases where it was needed to save a pregnant person’s life or done because of rape or incest. That law was set to take effect Aug. 19. | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Idaho-Supreme-Court-won-t-block-strict-abortion-17370775.php | 2022-08-13T00:08:20Z | https://www.theheraldreview.com/news/article/Idaho-Supreme-Court-won-t-block-strict-abortion-17370775.php | true | 11 |

Nineteen Japanese lawmakers appointed as deputies for Cabinet members confirmed Friday that they had links to a controversial religious group after Prime Minister Fumio Kishida called for a self-check and review to appease a wary public.
The revelations add to evidence of what could be a deeply ingrained network of contact between ruling Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers and the Unification Church. Some newly appointed ministers have also acknowledged their ties to the group, which has come under renewed scrutiny since the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. | https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2022/08/13/national/politics-diplomacy/kishida-unification-church-vice-ministers/ | 2022-08-13T00:09:42Z | https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2022/08/13/national/politics-diplomacy/kishida-unification-church-vice-ministers/ | true | null |

Discover how to clean outdoor cushions and you will soon transform them back to their former glory. The fabric may be looking a little grubby and marked, even if it has been pre-treated with a stain-resistant protector, but even so you can still get things back to looking their best.
Outdoor cushions are a key accessory when it comes to relaxing in comfort in your backyard but they can take a drubbing over time, especially once you factor in the odd downpour, red wine spillages and barbecue mishaps, plus kids and pets. If your patio furniture cushions are not looking their best they will also detract from the look of your outdoor furniture set-up.
So now's the time to take action and give your outdoor cushions a little TLC. With some careful care and maintenance, you can make sure your patio furniture stays looking its best all year round.
Step by step: how to clean outdoor cushions
When it comes to how to clean outdoor furniture one of the key items you will probably need to give a lot of attention to is outdoor upholstery. It's a cinch with our easy guide.
You will need:
- Vacuum cleaner with upholstery attachment
- Soft-bristled brush
- Mild soap such as Woolite or dish detergent
- Bleach to remove mold or mildew stains (but not if the care label says otherwise)
- Bucket of water
- Garden hose
- Absorbent towels
1. Vacuum or brush away any dust
Shake the cushion well then use the upholstery attachment on your vacuum cleaner or a soft bristled brush to remove any loose dirt or dust that may have accumulated on the surface of the cushion covers or in the seams and around decorative details.
It's a good idea to do this regularly anyway to keep your best garden furniture looking good.
Always clean your outdoor cushions outside. Choose a spot in the garden where you can lay out the cushions easily. Be sure to do this on a protective sheet of plastic to avoid creating any new stains on the cushions. Position the sheet away from plants too so they don't get splashed with detergent.
2. Mix up your cleaning solution
Next read the care label on your outdoor seating cushions and follow the instructions carefully. If the care label is missing check the manufacturer's website as there may be information you can access there.
'Be sure to follow the instructions as outlined on cleaning and care products to ensure that your outdoor upholstery pieces will be looking their best for many seasons to come,' says Reilly Gray of Suns Lifestyle (opens in new tab).
Mix your mild soap or other cleaning solution with clean water in a bucket. Dip the soft bristled brush into the bucket then gently scrub the surface of the cushion. Pay particular attention to any stains and repeat as necessary. Wait for a few minutes to let the cleaning solution thoroughly soak into the cushion.
It's always a good idea to be up to speed on the best materials for outdoor furniture, especially if you think you might need to replace the cushions.
3. Rinse the cushions well
Use your garden hose to rinse away all the cleaning solution thoroughly. Set the hose to medium to avoid unnecessarily drenching the cushions. Continue to do this until the water runs clear.
4. Let the cushions air dry
Ideally you will have chosen a hot sunny day to clean your outdoor cushions so they will air dry easily.
'Excess moisture can be absorbed with thick towels to ensure that as much moisture is absorbed as possible before leaving them to dry,' suggests Laura Schwarze of Luxury Rattan (opens in new tab).
Then stand the cushions up vertically. Be sure to keep them on the protective plastic so that any fresh dirt or garden debris doesn't become attached to them and spoil their new look.
How do you remove mildew or mold from outdoor cushions?
Stains like mildew and mold need something a little stronger to get to work on them. Wearing rubber gloves, first use a brush to scrape away as much of the mildew or mold as you can.
Put some undiluted distilled white vinegar in a plastic bottle with a spray nozzle then apply liberally to the stains. Let the vinegar soak into the fabric for around 20-30 minutes to let it do its work.
If the stain doesn't seem to be shifting try applying a vinegar soaked cloth to the spot and leaving it for a while so the fabric absorbs it. Then gently scrub the cushions with a soft bristled brush.
Finally, clean the cushion with a sponge dipped in a solution of detergent mixed with water. Then rinse and air-dry the cushions completely in a sunny spot as before.
This method can also be useful when considering how to clean a patio umbrella to remove a build-up of mold or mildew too.
Can you put outdoor cushion covers in the washing machine?
Remember that when it comes to how to clean outdoor cushions many of them feature removable machine washable covers. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully then pop them in your machine.
'For removable cushion covers you can definitely make use of your washing machine,' says Laura Schwarz. 'For garden cushion covers that are in need of a simple refresh, pop them in your washing machine with your regular detergent. To dry, hang them outside or on your radiator and make sure that they are completely dry before placing them back on the sofa inserts.'
Alternatively you can also soak the cushion covers in warm soapy water. Then sponge or brush gently if needed, rinse with clean water and let them air dry thoroughly before replacing them.
Do outdoor fabrics require different cleaning methods?
'The first thing to note is that outdoor fabrics come in a variety of materials and include acrylics, polyesters, polyolefins and often combinations of all,' says Tina Mahony of Go Modern (opens in new tab). 'Some are removable and washable at 30 degrees, others are easily cleaned with water and a mild soap solution.
What they all have in common is that they have been developed specifically for outdoor use. Which means they have a very high resistance to UV rays, chlorine, rain water, and abrasion.
'There have been huge advances over the past few years in the type of fabric available for outdoor furniture,' says Tina. 'Gone are the days of scratchy, rough material in place of much softer tactile fabrics.
'Always check labels when buying so that you know what the fabric is. Good quality furniture will also come with advice booklets on care and maintenance which will help you keep your outdoor cushions looking good for years.'
When is the best time to clean outdoor cushions?
When cleaning outdoor furniture cushions you might want to do this at the start of the season when they first come out of storage, but if they have been kept in a clean and dry place it's probably not necessary.
You will definitely want to clean your outdoor cushions though before putting them into storage at the end of the summer season.
It's also important to check them regularly for common stains like food and drink spillages or mildew as it's good to act on this sort of problem straightaway before stains are allowed to settle.
Why not find out how to clean an outdoor rug at the same time?
Can you restore outdoor cushions from sun damage?
'We always suggest removing cushions from furnishings when they're not in use but will be out in the sun all day, for example, if you're away on holiday,' says Laura Schwarz. 'The sun can bleach colors very easily on a hot day and to keep that new, vibrant look it’s best to store them inside when they aren’t in use.'
This especially applies to linen and cotton cushions, as the finer the fabric, the more prone it will be to discoloration.
If your cushions have already faded all is not lost. 'There's a simple solution to brighten them back up,' says Laura. 'Sprinkle baking soda or spray white vinegar on the faded area, then wash as usual to help give them a refresh.'
How do you keep outdoor cushions looking good?
'Most outdoor cushions have water-repellent upholstery and fillings that are designed to dry quickly, but with prolonged exposure to rainwater, the inner cushions can still become wet,' says Reilly Gray. 'Be sure to keep the cushions as dry as possible and remove any excess water after heavy rainfall.'
The cushion inners can become softer over time and use, so it's important to keep rotating them round as you would the sofa in your living room, giving them a good shake and plumping them up. This will ensure even usage across the upholstery and avoid the cushion going flat or clumping in one place.'
'Many outdoor cushions are treated with a special coating that resists water and stains,' say Reilly. 'Replenish this coating or protect untreated fabrics with a protective fabric spray like Scotchgard Water Shield, available from Amazon (opens in new tab). Make sure the cushions are completely clean beforehand to avoid sealing in dirt or stains.'
Follow our advice and make sure your outdoor sofa and garden bench cushions look spot on right through the summer season!

American Spaun seizes one-stroke PGA Memphis lead
Issued on:
Washington (AFP) – J.J. Spaun sank two late clutch putts to fire a three-under par 67 and take a one-stroke lead after Friday's second round of the US PGA Tour's St. Jude Championship.
The 31-year-old American sank a 13-foot birdie putt on his penultimate hole then closed with a seven-foot par putt to stand on 11-under 129 at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee.
"I feel good. It's exciting," Spaun said. "Still a lot of golf left. Just going to try to keep doing what I've been doing the last two days and hopefully it will pay off."
Austrian Sepp Straka, who missed six consecutive cuts entering the event, shared second on 130 with American Troy Merritt and American Denny McCarthy another stroke adrift.
British Open champion Cameron Smith of Australia shared fifth on 132 with Americans Brian Harman, Ryan Palmer and Tony Finau.
The tournament is the opener of the FedEx Cup playoffs, a season-ending trio of events with a winner's prize of $18 million.
Only 125 players qualified on season points and only the top 70 advance to next week's BMW Championship, where the 30 qualifiers for the Tour Championship in Atlanta are decided.
Spaun won his first US PGA title at the Texas Open in April after 147 tour starts and took aim at his second when he began on the back nine.
He made a par putt at the 10th from just outside seven feet but couldn't duplicate the feat from the same distance at 12 and made bogey. Spaun answered with birdie putts from just inside 12 feet at 13 and just outside seven feet at the par-5 16th.
Spaun rolled in a birdie putt from just outside five feet at the first and chipped inches from the cup at the par-5 third to set up a tap-in birdie to seize the lead.
Spaun found a bunker off the seventh tee on his way to a bogey, but made a 13-foot birdie putt at the par-3 eighth and closed with another solid par putt.
"Took what the course gave me," Spaun said. "I worked on some good things in the past couple weeks that are starting to pay off. Got a nice feel with my swing and just trusting it. And the putter is working, too."
Straka birdied four of the last five holes to shoot 66.
"Hadn't played great coming into this week," Straka said. "But that's golf. You're going to have the ebbs and flows and just go with it."
Merritt sank an eagle putt from just inside 15 feet at the par-5 16th to shoot his second straight 65.
McIlroy, Scheffler cut
McCarthy, chasing his first PGA title, birdied three of the first four holes then holed out for eagle from 153 yards at the par-4 sixth.
"As I hit it I knew it was good. I didn't know it was going to be that good," McCarthy said. "Always nice to have a bonus hole out like that."
McCarthy found water on his approach at 18 and closed with a bogey to shoot 65.
Four-time major winner Rory McIlroy missed the weekend after a 69 to stand on 139, one over the cut line.
Top-ranked Masters champion Scottie Scheffler suffered his fourth missed cup of the season, a 68 leaving him on 139 as well, but he kept the season points lead.
South Korean Kim Si-woo, who shared the 18-hole lead with Spaun on 62, stumbled back with a 73 to stand on 135, as did reigning FedEx Cup champion Patrick Cantlay after a 68.

According to Montenegrin Police Chief Zoran Br?anin, the suspected shooter first attacked a family that was living in his house as tenants.
“He killed two children, 8 and 11 years old, using a hunting rifle, and injured their mother, who later succumbed to her wounds in a medical facility,” Br?anin said.
“He then went out in the street and used the same rifle to shoot other residents of this settlement.”
A witness told RTCG that the shooter “indiscriminately shot people as he walked through the street.”
Authorities say they have identified the attacker — said to be a 34-year-old man — and that his rampage was brought to an end when he was shot dead by a civilian.
The head of Clinical Center of Montenegro Ljiljana Radulovic said that three of the injured victims are in the hospital in a critical condition.
Montenegro’s President Milo ?ukanovi? tweeted on Friday that he was “deeply shaken” by the news.
“I express my sincerest condolences to the bereaved families, to all those who lost their loved ones. All of us as a society must stand in solidarity with them in these difficult times,” ?ukanovi? said on Twitter. | https://stvincenttribune.com/state-media-11-killed-including-2-children-in-montenegro-gun-attack/ | 2022-08-13T00:13:49Z | https://stvincenttribune.com/state-media-11-killed-including-2-children-in-montenegro-gun-attack/ | true | 10 |

(THE CONVERSATION) The FBI recovered confidential and top-secret items from Mar-a-Lago during its Aug. 8, 2022, search of the estate – pointing to former President Donald Trump’s potential violation of several federal laws.
A Florida federal judge – the same one who issued the warrant to search Trump’s estate – ordered on Aug. 12, 2022, that the document be made public – along with an inventory of items seized during the FBI’s raid.
The unsealed documents seem to indicate that the U.S. Department of Justice believes Trump may have violated the Espionage Act, as well as other criminal laws relating to the handling of public records.
Clark Cunningham, Georgia State University legal scholar and an expert on search warrants, explains how this new information connects to possible criminal wrongdoing by the former president.
These laws were potentially violated
The released warrant authorized the FBI to search for evidence that Trump has violated three key laws.
First, there is the Espionage Act, which applies to possession of information related to the national defense that could be used to harm the U.S. or aid a foreign adversary. This law applies to someone who, like Trump, initially had lawful possession of such information but who, after their time in office ended, refuses to return it to the government.
Then, there is obstruction of justice, which includes concealing documents to obstruct a federal investigation.
Finally, there is the Public Records statute, which prohibits someone entrusted with a public record from “concealing” that document.
What’s in the inventory
The inventory of items taken by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago apparently shows Trump may have violated these laws in a number of different ways.
The inventory shows that FBI agents seized documents designated “SCI,” which refers to Sensitive Compartmented Information. In simple terms, this is classified information that comes from intelligence sources – and must be handled only within secured government locations.
Because this kind of sensitive information can reveal both methods and procedures for collecting intelligence – including the identity of undercover agents in hostile countries – the presence of such materials at Mar-a-Lago may be a violation of the Espionage Act, if Trump was willfully retaining this information after the government demanded its return.
The inventory also refers to numerous “top-secret” documents. Federal law definesthis as “information or material which requires the highest degree of protection” and could threaten national security. The FBI’s discovery of top-secret documents could corroborate The Washington Post’s report that the FBI search included classified documents related to nuclear weapons. The FBI also seized documents designated “secret” and “confidential.”
All told, the FBI removed 27 boxes and other individually listed items, including photographs.
Trump received a federal subpoena in the spring of 2022 to return documents taken from the White House.
So if the inventory includes items that should have been returned in response to the subpoena, but were not, that can be evidence of obstruction of justice and concealment of public records.
A defense that might not hold
Trump has suggested that the FBI may have planted evidence during its search.
However, federal rules about search warrants provide strong protection against such a possibility, by requiring that a government officer present when a search warrant is carried out “prepare and verify an inventory” of property seized in the presence of “another officer” and “the person from whom, or from whose premises, the property was taken.”
The officer must then “give a copy of the warrant and a receipt for the property taken to the person from whom, or from whose premises, the property was taken,” according to these rules.
U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland said during his Aug. 11 statement about the search that these procedures were followed. “Copies of both the warrant and the FBI property receipt were provided on the day of the search to the former president’s counsel, who was on site during the search,” Garland said.
The federal rules say that if the owner of the premises is not present, another “credible person” can verify the inventory – in this case, the unsealed records confirm that Trump’s attorney, Christine Bobbs, acknowledged receipt of the inventory at 6:19 p.m. on Aug. 8, 2022.
Limited precedent for unsealing these types of documents
It’s relatively rare for a judge to unseal court records of a search warrant, unless an actual criminal prosecution is underway and the record is needed in court.
One other notable exception occurred in December 2016 when a New York federal court issued an unsealing order for the Oct. 30, 2016, search warrant requested by former FBI Director James Comey to investigate emails improperly stored by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Unlike the Justice Department’s Aug. 12, 2022, order regarding Trump, the unsealing of the Clinton-related warrant included the underlying affidavit. An affidavit is a statement made under oath to the issuing judge to obtain the warrant.
Disclosure of these documents provided the basis for a firestorm of criticism by Clinton allies that there was insufficient evidence to support the FBI’s warrant application.
As explained in a judge’s October 2016 order to make the search warrant for the Clinton investigation public, warrant application proceedings “have historically been highly secretive in nature and closed to the press and public.” In that case, the judge said that in deciding whether to unseal, courts must consider both the government’s interest in not compromising an ongoing criminal investigation and the need to protect the privacy and reputation of the person subject to the search who may never be charged with a crime.
However, for the Mar-a-Lago warrant, both the government and Trump, the subject of the search, consented to the unsealing.
True to his reputation for careful judgment, Garland went by the book in response to an avalanche of attacks from Trump allies demanding transparency about the search. The warrant and inventory have now been released for all to see through a proper court procedure – which Trump publicly endorsed.

BEIJING (AP) — Latvia and Estonia say they have left a Chinese-backed forum aimed at boosting relations with Eastern European countries, in what appears to be a new setback for China’s increasingly assertive diplomacy.
The move follows China’s boosting of its relations with Russia, whose invasion of Ukraine is seen as a possible first step in a series of moves against countries that were once part of the Soviet Union. China has refused to criticize Russia and has condemned punishing economic sanctions imposed on Moscow by the West.
Weeks before the invasion, Chinese President and Communist Party leader Xi Jinping hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin in Beijing and declared their bilateral relations had “no limits” in a joint statement.
The move also comes after Beijing launched economic and diplomatic retaliation against another Baltic state, Lithuania, in retaliation for its expanded ties with the self-governing island democracy of Taiwan, which China claims as its own territory and threatens to annex by force. China’s increasing assertiveness and recent threatening military exercises near Taiwan have brought a sharp backlash from the U.S., the EU, Japan, Australia and others.
“In view of the current priorities of Latvian foreign and trade policy, Latvia has decided to cease its participation in the cooperation framework of Central and Eastern European Countries and China,” Latvia’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement Thursday.
The country “will continue to strive for constructive and pragmatic relations with China both bilaterally, as well as through EU-China cooperation based on mutual benefit, respect for international law, human rights and the international rules-based order,” the statement said.
Estonia issued a similar statement, saying it would “continue to work towards constructive and pragmatic relations with China, which includes advancing EU-China relations in line with the rules-based international order and values such as human rights.”
“Estonia participated in the cooperation format of Central and Eastern Europe and China from 2012. Estonia has not attended any of the meetings of the format after the summit last February,” the statement said.
China set up the forum to strengthen relations with members of the EU as well as Serbia and others, partly to further Xi’s signature Belt and Road campaign to build bridges, railways, power plants and other infrastructure across the Eurasian continent.
China originally styled the forum as a “17 plus one” arrangement, but the number of European partners has now fallen to 14. Critics say the forum was an attempt to exploit differences among those states as part of a larger campaign to join with Russia in undermining the current rules-based international order dominated by the U.S. and its allies.
Along with its stance on Ukraine, China has come under strong criticism for firing missiles and sending ships and warplanes off the coast of Taiwan in response to a visit there by U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. China strongly opposes all government-to-government contacts between Taiwan and countries which, like the U.S., maintain only informal ties with the island in deference to Beijing.
China issued no immediate comment on the move by Latvia and Estonia, but Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin on Friday again defended the threatening military exercises.
“To defend our sovereignty and territorial integrity … China has every right to take resolute countermeasures in response to the U.S. provocations, and such measures are absolutely necessary under those circumstances,” Wang said at a daily briefing.
Britain summoned China’s ambassador to register its over the “increasingly aggressive behavior and rhetoric from Beijing in recent months, which threaten peace and stability in the region,” Foreign Secretary Liz Truss was quoted as saying. “The United Kingdom urges China to resolve any differences by peaceful means, without the threat or use of force or coercion.”
Beijing’s threats against Taiwan are a major contributing factor in the deterioration of U.S.-China relations to their lowest level in decades. China has also engaged in a lengthy feud with Australia and its firing of missiles last week drew condemnation from Japan, whose exclusive economic zone includes waters where the projectiles landed.
In another rejection, South Korea on Wednesday said it will make its own decisions about strengthening its defenses against North Korean threats amid Chinese calls that it continue the polices of Seoul’s previous government that refrained from adding more U.S. anti-missile batteries, which are strongly opposed by Beijing.
Asked about the developments, U.S. State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel said “we respect and support Estonia and Latvia’s sovereign decision to no longer participate.”
“Estonia and Latvia are important and valued NATO allies and key U.S. partners across a number of issues, including through our strong defense ties, our strong economic ties, as well as the promotion of democracy and human rights,” Patel told reporters.
“Over the past year, we’ve seen countries around the world express deep concern about the PRC’s strategic alignment with Russia as well as Beijing’s support for Moscow’s war against Ukraine,” Patel said. “There is a growing convergence about the need to approach relations with Beijing with more realism,” he said, citing previous comments from Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Concluding a five-day visit to Taipei on Thursday, Lithuanian Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications Agne Vaiciukeviciute emphasized the importance of economic ties with Taiwan and endorsed a statement issued by the Group of Seven industrialized nations criticizing the Chinese military exercises surrounding Taiwan. The European Union issued a similar statement, prompting China to summon the group’s ambassadors to register a protest.
“Lithuania is a democracy. Taiwan is our very close friend, and Taiwan is a booming economy,” Vaiciukeviciute said.
“Lithuania chooses to cooperate with countries that are willing to cooperate with us. So, Taiwan is one of those countries and they are reliable partners,” she said.
In response to her visit, China’s Foreign Ministry on Friday announced it was suspending “all forms of interaction” with her ministry as well as “exchanges and cooperation with Lithuania in the area of international roadway transport.”
China has already banned trade with Lithuania, with little apparent effect on the country that is a member of both the EU and NATO. The EU has raised a complaint over the Chinese action with the World Trade Organization. | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/international/latvia-estonia-leave-china-backed-east-europe-forum/ | 2022-08-13T00:24:46Z | https://www.ourquadcities.com/news/international/latvia-estonia-leave-china-backed-east-europe-forum/ | true | 45 |
Household solar cuts power bills, anxiety
Households with rooftop solar are enjoying massive reductions in power bills, a nationwide survey shows.
Those without the clean energy solution, on the other hand, were much more likely to be significantly concerned about rising electricity prices, the research commissioned by community-based organisation Solar Citizens found.
"At the moment, high global coal and gas prices are driving power bills through the roof," Stephanie Gray, deputy director at Solar Citizens told AAP.
"The only guaranteed way for households to shield themselves and bring down their electricity bills is to generate their own power."
Some 42 per cent of solar owners say they save more than 70 per cent off their electricity bills, or are usually in credit.
A further 20 per cent had power bills cut in half by switching to solar.
"We're also hearing that many people are looking to electrify their household and get off the gas network to untie themselves from spiralling gas prices," Ms Gray said.
Some 41 per cent of those who had gas in their households said they would switch to electric alternatives helped by a government subsidy, according to the survey of 1700 Australians.
Federal, state and territory energy ministers met on Friday and agreed to shore up the gas supply.
They also agreed to include emissions-reduction in national energy laws, in the first update to the objectives in 15 years, to support the expansion of renewable energy, transmission and energy storage.
Solar Citizens wants the federal government to add a renewable energy storage target to help more households utilise their cheap solar energy around the clock.
"This would be good news for the grid and help bring down prices for everyone," Ms Gray said.
Close to 85 per cent of solar owners surveyed who do not currently have a battery are looking to purchase one in the next three years.
The cost of battery energy storage is still seen as a major barrier but more than a quarter (26 per cent) say a government subsidy of at least $3000-$4000 would be enough to get them over the line. | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11107607/Household-solar-cuts-power-bills-anxiety.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | 2022-08-13T00:27:02Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/aap/article-11107607/Household-solar-cuts-power-bills-anxiety.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490 | true | 4 |

Rains in S. Korea turn Seoul's roads to rivers, leave 8 dead
SEOUL, South Korea — (AP) — Some of the heaviest rain in decades swamped South Korea’s capital region, turning Seoul's streets into car-clogged rivers and sending floods cascading into subway stations. At least eight people were killed — some by drowning in their homes — and seven others were missing, while more rain was forecast.
Deserted cars and buses were scattered across streets as the water receded on Tuesday as workers cleared uprooted trees, mud and debris with excavators and blocked off broken roads and pavement. Landslide warnings were issued in nearly 50 cities and towns, while 160 hiking paths in Seoul and mountainous Gangwon province were closed.
“The heavy rainfall is expected to continue for days … we need to maintain our sense of alert and respond with all-out effort,” President Yoon Suk Yeol said at the government’s emergency headquarters. He directed officials’ attention to areas vulnerable to landslides or flooding and to reducing the dangers of roads and facilities already damaged to prevent more deaths.
Most of Seoul’s subway services were back to normal operations, but dozens of roads were closed due to safety concerns. The military was prepared to deploy troops to help with recovery efforts if requested by cities or regional governments, Defense Ministry spokesperson Moon Hong-sik said.
The rain began Monday morning and intensified through the evening.
By nightfall, people were wading through thigh-high waters in streets in Gangnam, one of Seoul’s most bustling business and leisure districts, where cars and buses were stuck in mud-brown waters. Commuters evacuated as water cascaded down the stairs of the Isu subway station like a waterfall. In the nearby city of Seongnam, a rain-weakened hillside collapsed into a university soccer field.
Rescue workers failed to reach three people – two sisters in their 40s and a 13-year-old girl – who called for help before drowning in a basement home in the Gwanak district of southern Seoul Monday night. Another woman drowned at her home in the nearby Dongjak district, where a public worker died while clearing up fallen trees, likely from electrocution. Choi Seon-yeong, an official from the Dongjak district ward office, said it wasn’t immediately clear whether the water was electrified because of a damaged power source or equipment the man was using.
Three people were found dead in the debris of landslides and a collapsed bus station in the nearby cities of Gwangju and Hwaseong.
Four people went missing in southern Seoul’s Seocho district, which is also home to the private residence of Yoon, who, according to his office, spent hours on the phone receiving briefings and issuing instructions overnight as the rain flooded some of the streets near his high-rise apartment complex.
Nearly 800 buildings in Seoul and nearby cities were damaged while at least 790 people were forced to evacuate from their homes, the Ministry of the Interior and Safety said.
The country’s weather agency maintained a heavy rain warning for the Seoul metropolitan area and nearby regions on Tuesday and said the precipitation may reach 5 to 10 centimeters an hour (2 to 4 inches) in some areas. It said around 10 to 35 centimeters (4 to 14 inches) of more rain was expected across the capital region through Thursday.
More than 43 centimeters (17 inches) of rain were measured in Seoul’s hardest-hit Dongjak district from Monday to noon Tuesday. The per-hour precipitation in that area exceeded 14 centimeters (5.5 inches) at one point Monday night, which was the highest hourly downpour measured in Seoul since 1942.
Rainstorms also pounded North Korea, where authorities issued heavy rain warnings for the southern and western parts of the country. The North’s official Rodong Sinmun newspaper described the rain as potentially “disastrous” and called for measures to protect farmland and prevent flooding on the Taedong river, which flows through the capital, Pyongyang.

Sheila Gava forages the trunk of a stranger’s Nissan car for dried tuna, Kellogg’s biscuits and a bottle of canola oil.
“I’ve not stepped foot inside a high-street supermarket in three years,” says Gava, a 35-year-old teacher and mother of two in Zimbabwe’s capital city of Harare.
In Harare City, family cars are being converted into unlicensed mobile or stationary “supermarkets” to serve the urban poor. Imagine a line of Honda SUVs stationed in the parking lot of New York’s Palisades Center Mall, with vendors selling bottles of Heinz ketchup, Nabisco cookies or Dove soap bars from the trunk of the cars.
But in Zimbabwe, these poacher “car supermarkets” are an attempt to keep urban hunger at bay in a country where about 66% of the country’s urban population is food insecure and, according to economist Steve Hanke at John Hopkins University, inflation has reached a frightening 487%.
Groceries are stacked tightly on seats, trunks and even bonnets of sedans and sold right outside the premises of high-end shopping malls whose products millions of the urban poor can’t afford. In these car supermarkets, only the U.S. dollar currency is accepted. “We want to be able to restock those packets of par-boiled rice from foreign countries like South Africa,” says Jacob Sakadzo, pushing his wares from the trunk of his Honda Fit outside the gates of Westgate Mall, one of the city’s most high-class shopping centers.
The United Nations Development Program says Zimbabwe is home to the world’s second-biggest share of the urban informal economy, with over 60% of the country’s population relying on informal activities for income. Zimbabwe’s informal economy is gigantic; one estimate is that it’s worth about $63 billion. As its model of unlicensed urban car supermarkets shows, Zimbabwe’s informal economy is even bigger.
The proliferation of these car supermarkets to serve the urban poor is tied directly to the rising cost of living. “My salary as a teacher with a four-year college degree is just $90 in Zimbabwe,” reveals Sheila. “My rent in the city alone is $150.”
Two decades of U.S. sanctions have left Zimbabwe’s economy impoverished, its government unable to borrow easily in global financial markets. Brazen corruption and impunity make entrepreneurs and foreign investors shun Zimbabwe. And the war in Ukraine, too, has reduced Zimbabwe’s access to affordable wheat.
“The results have been unpleasant,” says O’bren Nhachi, a social scientist and campaigner for Zimbabwe’s equitable share of its vast natural resource wealth. “In cities, the World Food Program says nearly 2 million residents are food hungry, residents of the capital rely on borehole water, and it’s normal to skip breakfast for families to pull all resources for at least one dinner a day.”
Sensing in the misery a potential to make money feeding the urban poor, informal traders source groceries from neighboring South Africa, where prices are significantly lower. Zimbabwe’s vast, loose borders are a boon for informal traders seeking to bring in low-priced merchandise from wealthier neighboring countries.
These vendors then sell them from car supermarkets to millions of working-class consumers, passing on the cheaper prices to buyers because the traders have no overhead real estate, electricity or licensing costs.
“There has emerged, in everything from powdered milk to Pepsi, an arbitrage economy between prices of the same bottle of orange juice in high-end supermarkets and the same bottle in informal traders operating from car trunks,” says Karim Siwela, an independent economic analyst in Harare.
It’s easy to see why these unregistered mobile vendors steal away a substantial slice of customers from legitimate food supermarkets. “In a licensed high-street supermarket like SPAR where the capital city’s well-off shop, a tin of tuna fish costs $3,” says Gava, jostling for space with hundreds of shoppers crowding car trunks for food bargains and fruit. “Right outside on the walkway, car supermarkets sell the same tin of fish for $1. It’s a no-brainer.”
The vendors, who often engage in cat-and-mouse with Harare municipal police, place their car supermarkets right outside the fences of swanky malls that house international food chains, like SPAR or France’s Bon Marche.
A further citywide sub-economy to serve the urban poor sees enterprising vendors like Israel Dhambuza buying cheap goods from these car supermarkets – and then subdividing them into smaller packets to sell to unemployed mothers in other parts of Harare.
“You’ve to see how young mums and their infants jump for my $1 per kg dried beef soup cubes instead of the $2.80 international food chains charge,” he says. “It’s a lifesaver.”

The gesture by Otumfuo Osei Tutu Foundation is the first phase of a series of Science Textbooks and Workbooks to be presented to selected deprived schools in the Ashanti Region in fulfillment of promoting Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics interest from the basic level of education in Ghana.
At a ceremony at Adansi Akrofrom, the Foundation formally presented the books to the District Directorate of Education, which were then distributed to the beneficiary schools.

As rumors swirl of a potential settlement of the NFL’s effort to discipline Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson, he finally has shown remorse toward the massage therapists who accused him of wrongdoing.
“Look, I want to say that I’m truly sorry to all of the women that I have impacted in this situation,” Watson told Aditi Kinkhabwala in an interview that aired during the pregame show on Channel 5 for the team’s preseason opener, via Jake Trotter of ESPN.com. “The decisions that I made in my life that put me in this position I would definitely like to have back, but I want to continue to move forward and grow and learn and show that I am a true person of character and I am going to keep pushing forward.”
Watson previously had failed to show any remorse to his alleged victims. Judge Sue L. Robinson found that Watson engaged in non-violent sexual assault as to four women who provided him with private massages. He was sued by 24 women, with 23 of them settled, to date.
It’s a significant change in approach for Watson, who was chided by Judge Robinson for categorically denying wrongdoing in his version of the events provided to the league. Whether it will help his cause before appeal officer Peter Harvey remains to be seen. Before that happens, the two sides will have a chance to work out an agreed resolution. | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/08/12/deshaun-watson-publicly-apologizes-to-the-woman-i-have-impacted/ | 2022-08-13T01:02:56Z | https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/08/12/deshaun-watson-publicly-apologizes-to-the-woman-i-have-impacted/ | false | 1 |

A Fed Gator Is A Dead Gator
Alligators are common on Kiawah, basking on pond edges or lazily swimming in the numerous ponds. In addition to being illegal, feeding alligators causes them to lose their natural fear of humans. Alligators that have been fed will approach people and associate them with food, leading to a potentially dangerous situation. Alligators on Kiawah should never be fed, and any incidents of feeding or harassment should be reported immediately to Town Hall (843-768- 9166, Monday – Friday 8 a.m.- 4 p.m.) or Kiawah Island Community Association Security (843-768-5566, 24/7) or individuals witnessing anyone feeding alligators are encouraged to take videos and share them with Enforcement Officers so that tickets can be written. The fine for feeding alligators is up to $500 or 30 days in jail.

Arts in the Park a big draw for all ages
PORT CLINTON — When 85-year-old Agnes Barnes of Toledo set up her photography booth at Arts in the Park in Lakeview Park on Saturday, she was not just selling her prints. She was also sharing her life.
Barnes' passion for photography began when a high school boyfriend gave her a camera.
“That was the beginning,” she said.
Throughout her life, Barnes immersed herself in local life and also traveled the world, always with her camera in tow. She captured images of Ohio Amish country and the flowers in her garden, and she photographed the Great Wall of China and South African Ndebele tribeswomen wearing neck elongation rings.
Barnes used film camera to create her photographs
“I used film until just a few years ago. Everything here today is film,” she said.
Barnes was one of about 100 vendors set up at Arts in the Park, each one with a unique talent and story. Vendors sold a variety of handmade merchandise, including jewelry, furniture, home décor, fused glass and novels.
The show was hosted by Port Clinton Artists’ Club (PCAC).
“This is our 64th year. We’re the biggest and best art show in Port Clinton,” said Show Director Joan Patthoff. “I have great committee people. They deserve a lot of the credit. My chair members are awesome, and our club members volunteer to run the show.”
PCAC member Kay Young helped man the group's booth, where people could purchase raffle tickets to win art created by PCAC workshop instructors or purchase 4-by-4-inch paintings created by members. The proceeds from the sales will provide prize money for the annual Five County Art Show for high schoolers.
“We give them a check, and they’re all smiles,” Young said. “It’s not a scholarship. It’s a validation that art is important.”
Among the raffle prizes was a hummingbird painting by Mark Polomchak. Six-year-old Camden Salyers of Oak Harbor was hoping to win it, so his mom, Jenni Salyers, purchased tickets for him.
“It’s cute!” Camden said.
Camden also enjoyed painting a mask at the Make and Take booth where kids could create a variety of crafts for free. They could stuff tie pillows, string beads on necklaces, or decorate mugs and tote bags. Make and Take was sponsored by PCAC.
'Kids are so excited to make something'
“I usually have about 200 kids through here over the weekend,” said Make and Take Chair Lisette Post. “It’s a big thing. Kids are so excited to make something.”
This year, kids visiting the Make & Take booth received something extra — a free toy. Post’s mother, Rita Hohler, was a longtime PCAC member. Hohler died about a month ago, and a friend donated money in Hohler's memory to be used at Arts in the Park.
“So I bought gifts for the kids,” Post said.
Arts in the Park was a judged show. PCAC judges walked from booth to booth and selected winners in a variety of categories. First prize and honorable mention winners were given ribbons and recognition. The event’s Best of Show winner, Ashley Smith, received a free booth rental at next year’s show.
Patthoff said Arts in the Park attracts thousands of people every year.
“Port Clinton is a very vibrant art community, and over the years, we’ve gained a reputation,” Patthoff said. “We have so many talented artists who share their wares.”

Author Salman Rushdie is on a ventilator following hours of surgery after being stabbed in the neck and torso at a lecture in New York state on Friday.
He will likely lose one eye, his book agent Andrew Wylie said. "The news is not good," he wrote in an email.
"Salman will likely lose one eye; the nerves in his arm were severed; and his liver was stabbed and damaged."
The 75-year-old was being introduced to give a talk to an audience of hundreds on artistic freedom at western New York`s Chautauqua Institution when a man rushed to the stage and lunged at the novelist, who has lived with a bounty on his head since the late 1980s. | https://www.dnaindia.com/world/report-salman-rushdie-may-lose-eye-is-on-ventilator-health-update-writer-new-york-attack-on-rushdie-key-updates-2976193 | 2022-08-13T01:13:25Z | https://www.dnaindia.com/world/report-salman-rushdie-may-lose-eye-is-on-ventilator-health-update-writer-new-york-attack-on-rushdie-key-updates-2976193 | false | null |
NEW YORK (AP) — Best Buy, the nation’s largest consumer electronics chain, is trimming jobs in an effort to adjust to new changes in consumer behavior as the virus wanes.
Best Buy declined to say how many jobs it was cutting, but The Wall Street Journal, which was first to report the news, estimated it involved hundreds of jobs at the store level.
“We’re always evaluating and evolving our teams to make sure we’re serving our customers,” Best Buy said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press. ‘With an ever-changing macroeconomic environment, including customers shopping more digitally than ever, we have made adjustments to our teams that include eliminating a small number of roles.”
The job cuts come after Best Buy reduced its annual sales and profit forecast late last month, citing surging inflation that has dampened consumer spending on gadgets. The Minneapolis-based company echoed Walmart, which a few days before cut its profit outlook. The nation’s largest retailer said that higher prices on basic necessities are forcing shoppers to cut back on discretionary items .
Walmart also announced earlier this month that it was cutting jobs at its corporate headquarters as part of a restructuring effort.
Still, the latest snapshot on the overall U.S. job market remains strong even as inflation continues to rage and affect all types of businesses. Last week, t he government reported that unemployment dropped another notch, from 3.6% to 3.5%, matching the more than 50-year low reached just before the pandemic took hold. The economy has now gained back all 22 million jobs lost in March and April 2020 when COVID-19 hit the U.S.
Best Buy said last month it now expects this year’s sales at stores opened at least a year to be down 11%, much steeper than the 3% to 6% drop it originally forecast in May.
For Best Buy’s fiscal second quarter, it expects comparable sales to be down 13%. Still, revenue for the quarter should be roughly 7.5% higher than the second quarter of 2020, it said.
Best Buy is slated to report its quarterly results on Aug. 30.

Reports: Famed Japanese designer Issey Miyake dies at 84
TOKYO — (AP) — Issey Miyake, who built one of Japan’s biggest fashion brands and was known for his boldly sculpted, signature pleated pieces, has died. He was 84.
Miyake died Aug. 5 of cancer, Japanese media reports said Tuesday.
Miyake defined an era in Japan’s modern history, reaching stardom in the 1970s among a generation of designers and artists who reached global fame by defining a Japanese vision that was unique from the West.
Miyake’s origami-like pleats transformed usually crass polyester into chic. He also used computer technology in weaving to create apparel. His down-to-earth clothing was meant to celebrate the human body regardless of race, build, size or age.

New charges may signal a more expansive effort to weed out Russian sockpuppet orgs for influencing elections & public opinion, right and left. ["failure to register as a foreign agent"]
13 Russians charged by Mueller in absentia 4 years ago, but this one seems to point higher up the RU food chain plus charges Americans as well.
The presence of investigation in Tampa (thoselcharging Black Hammer ATL as well) instead of SDNY may also signal a broader effort or different regional approach (good morning, Mr. DeSantis - nice hotbed of dissent you got there, would be a shame to see it go belly up)

Twitter has made the WaPo Gaetz hot mike story a 'news event'
1 hour ago
Hot mic captured Gaetz assuring Stone of pardon, discussing Mueller redactions
As Roger Stone prepared to stand trial in 2019, complaining he was under pressure from federal prosecutors to incriminate Donald Trump, a close ally of the president repeatedly assured Stone that “the boss” would likely grant him clemency if he were convicted, a recording shows. At an event at a Trump property that October, Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) predicted that Stone would be found guilty at his trial in Washington the following month but would not “do a day” in prison. Gaetz was apparently unaware they were being recorded by documentary filmmakers following Stone.

Mho this is VERY well framed:
He always cared more about 'ratings' than real governing, but has now totally gone over to a fantasy land presidential campaign. For him this is now all about winning the most 'fans' and admirers on the right, not about having the job of president. While the fight about the presidency is currently still useful, he doesn't necessarily need that, he can turn around and use an alternative, like, say, representing the worst case scenario of the Deep State coming after you, the ultimate victim, but he is the one superhero savior who can fight back. It always comes down to 'ratings' for this man, it was never simply about politics.

P.S. consider this: when push comes to shove, he may realize that he really doesn't want the job of president as he once deluded himself that he did. Look at how he despised all those minions who pestered him with actual presidential duties and how he paid no real attention to what his cabinet secretaries were doing, caring only if they reflected well on him. Look at how he spent 1/6, shut up in his dining room, enthralled watching his fans fight for him on the teevee and loathe to deal with it in any real way! Look at him trying to record that video and Ivanka struggling with getting him to use certain words. He is not so much thinking 'coup tactics" all he really cares about is not discouraging the fans from continuing to fight for him. He even uses the famous celeb words to fans "we love you"

saw that and saw how outraged many people are but one wonders what can be done about it until the Nov. elections are over, you have to know what kinda Senate you'll have and it seems to many that there are already a gazillion investigations going on
I guess the point: if you want him impeached first you got to get out there and work hard for a better Senate situation; for just one example:

NYPost's Editorial Board coming out as given up on Trump:
concluding line
It’s up to the Justice Department to decide if this is a crime. But as a matter of principle, as a matter of character, Trump has proven himself unworthy to be this country’s chief executive again.

Representative Scott Perry says the F.B.I. seized his cellphone.
Luke Broadwater @NYTimes.com,Aug. 9, 2022, 7:50 p.m. ET
WASHINGTON — The F.B.I. on Tuesday seized the cellphone of Representative Scott Perry, Republican of Pennsylvania and the chairman of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus, according to the congressman’s office.
Mr. Perry, who has been issued a subpoena by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, said three F.B.I. agents seized his phone Tuesday morning while he was traveling with family.
“They made no attempt to contact my lawyer, who would have made arrangements for them to have my phone if that was their wish,” Mr. Perry said in a statement. “I’m outraged — though not surprised — that the F.B.I., under the direction of Merrick Garland’s D.O.J., would seize the phone of a sitting member of Congress.”
His statement was reported earlier by Fox News.
Mr. Perry compared the seizure of his cellphone to the F.B.I.’s search of former President Donald J. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property Monday, in which agents took out boxes of materials after an all-day search related to an investigation into the mishandling of White House documents.
“My phone contains info about my legislative and political activities, and personal/private discussions with my wife, family, constituents and friends. None of this is the government’s business,” Mr. Perry said. “As with President Trump last night, D.O.J. chose this unnecessary and aggressive action instead of simply contacting my attorneys. These kinds of banana republic tactics should concern every citizen.”
It was not immediately clear why the F.B.I. had seized Mr. Perry’s phone. A spokeswoman for the congressman did not respond right away to a follow-up question, and the Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Mr. Perry has refused to appear before the Jan. 6 committee, and his lawyer has argued that there was “nothing improper” about his actions during the buildup to the attack on the Capitol.
In the weeks after the 2020 election, Mr. Perry was among at least 11 members of Congress who were involved in discussions with White House officials about overturning the election, including plans to pressure Vice President Mike Pence to throw out electoral votes from states won by President Biden, according to the committee. Mr. Perry also endorsed the idea of encouraging supporters to march to the Capitol, the committee has said.
A member of Congress since 2013, Mr. Perry also compiled a dossier of voter fraud allegations and coordinated a plan to try to replace the acting attorney general, who was resisting Mr. Trump’s attempts to overturn the election, with a more compliant official.
Mr. Perry is not the only ally of Mr. Trump whose phone has been seized in recent weeks. In June, federal agents seized the phone of John Eastman, the conservative lawyer who advised Mr. Trump on strategies to overturn the election.

DOJ moves to unseal warrant that led to FBI search of Trump’s Florida home, AG Garland says
@ Twitter events. Aug. 11
The US Department of Justice announced on Thursday that it is moving forward with unsealing the search warrant and itemized receipt of what was taken from former president Donald Trump’s residence at his Mar-a-Largo Club in Palm Beach, Florida, during an FBI search of the property earlier this week. It was Attorney General Merrick Garland’s first public statement since Monday’s search and the first public acknowledgment that the department is actively investigating Trump’s handling of classified presidential records.
by artappraiser on Thu, 08/11/2022 - 5:17pm
and that works with this, where anything "bad" will have been planted:
Former US President Donald Trump has said he will not oppose the release of the warrant that let FBI agents search his Mar-a-Lago home earlier this week.
In a statement, Mr Trump said he was encouraging its "immediate release" - but repeated his claim the search was unnecessary and politically motivated....

a little digression, a reminder that on 1/6/21, while basically live blogging on the action on Dagblog, I said something like 'they've been inspired by the BLM defund/abolish protesters." And I got tons of shit from NCD and rmrd that they have nothing to do with each other (both of whom were also supporting the narrative that if they were Black, the evil Capitol Police would shoot them). I got good support from oceankat, who sensibly realized that it was all, both things about RULE OF LAW and society having the forces to support it.
Here you go. You either hate the idea of cops or you don't:
Which side are you on, having rule of law or ditching it for all just politics and identity and interest groups fighting each other to death all the time?

Judge Denies Trump Executive’s Request to Dismiss Manhattan Tax Case
Allen H. Weisselberg, who was indicted last summer, and the Trump Organization are scheduled to stand trial in October.
By Jonah E. Bromwich, Ben Protess, William K. Rashbaum and Lola Fadulu @ NYTimes.com, Aug. 12, 2022, 10:38 a.m. ET
A Manhattan state court judge on Friday declined to throw out the criminal case against Donald J. Trump’s family business and its longtime chief financial officer, Allen H. Weisselberg, clearing the way for a trial in the case scheduled for the fall.
Mr. Weisselberg and the business, the Trump Organization, were charged last year by the Manhattan district attorney’s office with having engaged in a 15-year scheme in which executives were compensated with hidden benefits so that they could evade taxes. The charges stemmed from the office’s long-running investigation into the company’s business practices.
In February, Mr. Weisselberg and the company filed motions to dismiss the charges, arguing that the case was politically motivated and that the defendants were charged only because of their link with former president Donald J. Trump.
The decision marked the latest legal blow to Mr. Trump in a week full of them.
On Monday, the F.B.I. searched his Florida home in connection with an unrelated criminal investigation. And on Wednesday the former president invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in an interview with the New York state attorney general, which is conducting a civil inquiry into some of the same practices that are being examined by the Manhattan district attorney.
The judge, Juan Merchan, granted a significant victory to the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg. His prosecutors argued in May, in response to the motion to dismiss, that there was nothing extraordinary about the charges: Mr. Weisselberg had violated the law in failing to pay his taxes and was being prosecuted for it, they said.
“Over the course of the period charged in the indictment, Weisselberg evaded payment of taxes on a total of $1.7 million in income,” they wrote in a memo filed with the court. “Such illegal conduct is regularly prosecuted and this office would have been remiss not to have done so here.”
Justice Merchan dismissed one count of criminal tax fraud against the Trump Organization and its affiliated payroll company, letting stand 14 of the 15 counts in the indictment against the business and all of the counts against Mr. Weisselberg. The prosecutors had conceded in May that the count should be dismissed because of issues with the statute of limitations [....]

Opinion: California’s 2022 election is almost upon us. Here’s how we’ll help San Diego get informed.
With this ambitious schedule, we hope to provide our readers with plenty of information they can use when their ballots arrive in the mail.
The editorial board operates independently from the U-T newsroom but holds itself to similar ethical standards. We base our editorials and endorsements on reporting, interviews and rigorous debate, and strive for accuracy, fairness and civility in our section. Disagree? Let us know.
Countywide voting in the Nov. 8 election — in races ranging from San Diego school board to the U.S. Senate and ballot measures related to everything from gambling to trash pickup — begins in less than two months. That means that the focus of The San Diego Union-Tribune Editorial Board — and our Opinion section itself — has already shifted as it always does before an election. To help you become better informed about the candidates and ballot measures you will be weighing, we are beginning our election coverage today by publishing Q&As from two Californians who want to spend the next six years in the U.S. Senate. Monday, we will begin publishing Q&As from the candidates for two-year seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. And then we’ll really be, ahem, off to the races.
Between now and early October, when voting gets underway, we are planning to publish dozens of candidate Q&As and nearly two dozen commentaries connected to a handful of San Diego city ballot measures and seven state propositions. We will resume publishing regular commentaries in October, and we won’t stop publishing Steve Breen’s editorial cartoons, letters to the editor, syndicated columns and our own editorials on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Before long, those editorials will include our election endorsements.
There is still a lot of work to get to the point where we’re close to writing those, however. This cycle, our research will include the aforementioned surveys and commentaries, a steady stream of Zoom meetings with many candidates and, as we did in the primary, a series of in-person forums in some of the more high-profile local races. As soon as we lock down the dates with the venues and the campaigns, we will let you know when and where those will be, but look for them if you are interested in the San Diego City Council races in Districts 2, 4, 6 and 8; the Chula Vista mayor’s race; the San Diego County sheriff’s race, and, maybe, local ballot measures. Please visit sandiegouniontribune.com/2022electionguide for the dates and details of these forums, and check back as we add interviews, commentaries and more to this voter guide. Also please email Editorial and Opinion Director Matthew T. Hall at matthew.hall@sduniontribune.com to suggest any questions we might ask. Then join us at a forum.
With this ambitious schedule, we hope to provide our readers with plenty of information they can use when their ballots arrive in the mail. In the weeks ahead, we’ll also share a calendar of when those endorsements will run so those who are interested can include our thoughts in their own research. As usual, some readers (and some candidates) may criticize our endorsements or fault us for making them in the first place. “Why are you so biased?” we will be asked. “What are you doing? What were you even thinking?” Well, thinking is exactly what we we are doing. The editorial board (whose names all appear in the upper right of this page — and in that same space in every edition of The San Diego Union-Tribune) takes this role seriously. We are not partisans. We’re journalists. And we’re not biased. We’re open-minded. But we do have opinions. And we are paid to share them. It’s why our part of the Union-Tribune is called the opinion section. It’s where we share yours, ours, as many people’s as possible, when they are relevant, civil and accurate. Like you, we live in this region, send our kids to local schools and want San Diego to be a welcoming place, where facts matter, our rich diversity is celebrated, those in power are held accountable and people can disagree without being disagreeable. We wake up every day wanting to know more about where we live and who lives here. Wanting to listen. So we’ll evaluate candidates and campaigns and share what they say and what we think. We’ll assess things like accomplishments, background, character, demeanor, experience, records of community service and policy stances. As in the past, we’ll endorse people from both parties, and we’ll leave you with recommendations, realizing the choice is yours. Our goal is to give you information and analysis. We’re not here for the campaigns. We’re here for our readers — for you — because — like you — we want to help make this place we live in and love and can learn from better.

NEW YORK (AP) — Reporter Joshua Goodman traveled with his family to the Chautauqua Institution in western New York for a peaceful week away from the news. Instead, the news found him.
Goodman, an Associated Press correspondent for Latin America based in Miami, was attending a lecture by author Salman Rushdie on Friday when Rushdie was stabbed onstage.
The journalist said goodbye to his wife and asked her to pick up their two children before he began to work, equipped only with his mobile phone. He dictated words, took photos and sent video that told the world someone had attacked Rushdie, whose 1988 book “The Satanic Verses” was viewed as blasphemous by many Muslims and led Iran’s then-leader to issue an edict calling for the author’s death.
It was a remarkable example of being in the right place at the right time to witness an unexpected event.
“It was very surreal is the only way you’d describe it,” Goodman said. “This was the last place you’d expect something like this.”
The institution is more than a century old, located over an hour away from the closest major city of Buffalo, N.Y. It is known for its summer retreats where visitors come for spiritual reflection and education. Goodman was one of 13 family members who rented a house on the grounds for the week. He left his computer behind and ignored emails.
Goodman, 46, learned to sail. On Thursday night, he and his family roasted marshmallows while watching a full moon rise over Lake Chautauqua.
Rushdie’s interview, advertised as focusing on the importance of persecuted writers having a place to work, was one of the week’s highlights. Goodman arrived at the outdoor amphitheater just as it was about to begin.
The threats against Rushdie — a $3 million bounty was placed on his head and he spent years in hiding — had not been forgotten. Some audience members joked nervously about not wanting to be in the front row. But there was very little security at a location where many families don’t even lock their doors at night, Goodman said.
Rushdie was seated and was being introduced when his attacker climbed onstage and began assaulting him. From his vantage point, Goodman said he wasn’t sure if Rushdie was being punched or stabbed, until he could see what appeared to be blood.
“There was a moment of shock,” he said. “Everyone in the audience was sitting in disbelief.”
When an officer with a police dog and others rushed toward the stage, Goodman realized what was happening and switched into reporter mode. He quickly sent an email to several of his editors at AP about what was happening and headed toward the stage himself.
Goodman lingered to take pictures and interview witnesses despite the institute’s staff saying he and all the audience members had to leave, he said. Goodman had covered protests before while stationed in Latin America, so scenes of violence were not foreign to him, but never in such a bucolic setting.
The AP sent an alert to its members about the news at 11:06 a.m. Eastern, followed by the first story six minutes later.
It was only after an hour of work that Goodman had the chance to reflect on what he said was one of the worst things he’d ever seen. “It was so callous and deliberate,” he said.
Goodman said he was sad for his children who, like many, are affected by bad news in the world. He had hoped for a week’s reprieve, and they had enjoyed their time in summer camp.
“I don’t take any satisfaction in witnessing tragedy,” he said. “I do take satisfaction in informing others.” | https://fox4kc.com/news/entertainment/ap-entertainment/by-chance-ap-reporter-on-scene-to-witness-rushdie-attack/ | 2022-08-13T01:49:12Z | https://fox4kc.com/news/entertainment/ap-entertainment/by-chance-ap-reporter-on-scene-to-witness-rushdie-attack/ | false | 25 |
Which camera lens protectors for phones are best?
No matter the make or model, there is no denying that mobile phones are expensive. More complex phones have a higher retail price. If you have a model with an impressive camera, it makes it imperative that you protect your gadget.
The easiest way to do that is through a mobile phone case, but the lens isn’t always a consideration. Unless there is a special lip or ridge, it affords almost no protection to the lens. This is where a camera lens protector comes in handy.
Protection choices
Don’t get your hopes up for finding a lens protector that goes well with your Van Gogh phone cover. Your choice in design, color and material is vastly diminished in this category, and you’ll have better luck matching your cover with a lens protector than the other way around. But if you want to add more personality, you can always add a phone charm.
But with that said, accessory makers must attract your business before you choose the competition. And since the lens protectors cost only a few cents to produce, you’ll often find them in packs of three or four.
To further sweeten the deal, many offer bundle packs that include a few lens protectors and some screen protectors as well. This is an excellent deal if you recently bought a new phone and are looking for a complete setup to keep your device safe.
If the standard clear protectors aren’t for you, ones with a bit of bling around the edge are becoming increasingly popular. They are often sold in packs of single caps that go over each lens instead of one solid piece that covers the lens.
Tempered glass vs. plastic
Plastic lens and screen protectors are incredibly cheap to manufacture, but it comes at a cost to phone users. The see-through material is terrible at remaining blemish-free, and while it does stop scratches on your lens, it can still be visible in photos.
The better alternative is a tempered glass lens protector. The technology is widely used because it doesn’t splinter like ordinary glass. Some common applications for tempered glass are passenger car windows, shower doors and diving masks.
The glass is thermal or chemically treated to put the outer layer into a compression state and the inner layer into a tension state. These opposing forces are what give the glass increased strength.
In addition to the strength, it is resistant to most forms of damage, such as scratches and scuff marks. This makes it an excellent choice for lens covers and display protectors. Some mobile phones use tempered glass directly for their displays with Corning’s Gorilla Glass as a favorite.
What to look for in a camera lens protector for your phone
Conforming to your style is important, but so is your phone. It’s easy to go for a colorful or bling design, but if the protection is inferior, it won’t help much. Therefore, look for camera lens protectors made from toughened glass, and steer clear of polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, or thermoplastic polyurethane, or TPU.
Another critical factor to consider is hardness. Measured on Moh’s scale, it represents how tough the material is. Most tempered glass covers will have a Moh hardness of 9H.
For reference, anything rated above 6H can’t be damaged by coins, keys or knives. The scale is made up of minerals that the hardest drawing pencil can damage. The lowest is 1H for talc, and the highest is 10H for diamond.
So, a hardness of 9H means that a pencil can’t damage corundum. Unless you have a pocket full of diamonds, your phone’s cover will be scratch-free.

These feature tempered glass protectors in a specific pattern to the phone model, sitting firmly on a metal plate that slots over the lens array.

Fort Worth wants to triple this fee on your water bill. Here’s the city’s plan for the money
Your water bill could go up a little bit next year, but not because of anything coming out of the tap.
Fort Worth is considering tripling the environmental protection fee residents and businesses pay every month on their water bills. It’s part of an effort to increase the city’s capacity to clean streets and remove litter, while also spreading the costs of litter pick up move evenly.
Monthly fees for residential users will go from 50 cents to $1.50, while fees for commercial users will go from $10 to $30 per month and fees for industrial users will go from $35 to $105 per month.
This is the first time the fee has been increased since it was introduced in 1995.
Mayor Pro Tem Gyna Bivens said she has no objections to the rate increase given the needs of a growing city and the fact that the fee hasn’t been increased in 27 years.
“No one wants to see a water bill go up, but if we can deliver the service responsibly in a timely fashion maybe the rub won’t be so challenging,” Bivens said.
District 3 council member Michael Crain said he’s not usually a fan of increasing fees, but said feedback from his constituents convinced him it might be needed.
“I get calls all the time from neighborhoods of why aren’t we getting our streets cleaned and I have to explain we only have two street sweepers for the whole city,” he said.
Those two sweepers can only cover 580 of Fort Worth’s roughly 8,100 miles of city streets per month.
If the city increases the fee, it’s proposing buying 10 additional street sweepers, which it estimates can cover a combined 6,380 miles every month.
The city is also proposing some of the funds be used to expand the number of litter crews.
The city currently has three litter crews, which it contracts through a partnership with the UpSpire program run by the Presbyterian Night Shelter of Tarrant County.
The program provides shelter residents with stable employment, case management support, and job skill development.
The city is proposing expanding the crews from three to 10, which it says would allow those crews to cover a combined 1,380 miles per month instead of the 410 miles per month covered currently.
There’s a reason why one of the themes of this years budget is cleanliness, said district 2 council member Carlos Flores.
He said a majority of calls city council members get from residents are about the city not doing its job when it comes to keeping the streets clean.
Flores said the fee increase is a way to meet that need while also spreading those costs more equally between residents and businesses.
Residents currently pay for 90% of the cost of the city’s solid-waste fund, which includes the roughly $4.4 million the city spends on street cleaning, litter pick up and homeless camp abatement per year.
The city is proposing shifting that $4.4 million to its environmental protection fund to spread the costs more evenly among residents and businesses.
Flores compared the city’s current approach to litter to its reliance on property taxes, which made up roughly 56% of the city’s 2022 budget.
He argued that businesses also benefit from the city’s street cleaning efforts, and should share in those costs.
Flores was supportive of the plan from a policy standpoint, but said he was still evaluating what the right balance should be to make sure businesses and residents are contributing equally.
The city council has four more scheduled budget work sessions, and each council member is holding a town hall to get feedback on the budget from their constituents.
Any fee increase will have to be approved as part of the final budget, which the council is scheduled to vote on at its Sept. 27 meeting.
If the increase gets approved, it won’t show up on rate payers’ water bills until January 2023. | https://news.yahoo.com/fort-worth-wants-triple-fee-004418058.html | 2022-08-13T01:53:13Z | https://news.yahoo.com/fort-worth-wants-triple-fee-004418058.html | true | 2 |

RAJSHAHI, Aug 12: Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr Hasan Mahmud on Friday said the fuel prices will be reduced in the country when the prices will decline in the global markets.
"The fuel price will surely be downsized in the country when prices in the global markets will decline and there is no doubt in it," he said, addressing a public meeting at Mohanpur Government High School playground in Mohanpur upazila headquarter in the district as chief guest.
The minister said fuel prices have been hiked abnormally throughout the world due to the Russia-Ukraine war. "But we didn't do the same we have just gone for price adjustment," he said, adding that a certain circle has been spreading rumors capitalizing the issue.
He urged the people not to be misled hearing any rumor as Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has been working relentlessly for the welfare of the countrymen.
"Our Prime Minister launched maternal allowance, divorcee allowance and widow allowance and these benevolent steps have empowered the women," he said.
Hasan, also joint general secretary of Awami League, said there will be no trace of BNP in country's political arena in near future.
He said once upon a time bicycle was the election symbol of Muslim League and later it had changed it to lantern but the party could not be traced out even after search with lantern at present.
Likewise, BNP holds lanterns leaving behind its symbol paddy sheaf but the party cannot be found out with the lantern, he added.
The minister said BNP is trying to make the country unstable to create another 15 August. But Bangladesh Awami League is the country's biggest party and it would never let them materialize their dream, he added.
Upazila Awami League hosted the meeting to mark the 15 August National Mourning Day. State Minister for Foreign Affairs Shahriar Alam, MP, Ayen Uddin, MP, Saimum Sarwar Komol, MP, district Awami League President Anil Kumar Sarker and its general secretary Abdul Wadud Dara addressed the meeting as special guests, while Upazila Awami League president Advocate Abdus Salam was in the chair. -BSS | https://www.observerbd.com/news.php?id=378956 | 2022-08-13T01:59:47Z | https://www.observerbd.com/news.php?id=378956 | false | 1 |
While the overwhelming majority of foreign nationals entering the U.S. illegally do so through the southern border, Miami Sector Border Patrol agents are regularly interdicting Cubans and others attempting to reach Florida, often arriving on small makeshift boats. Law enforcement officers also are regularly confiscating drugs that wash up on shore.
Last weekend, “Good Samaritans” found 126 pounds of cocaine with an estimated street value of $2 million that had washed up on the beach at Ocean Pointe Pool Beach Marina in Tavernier, the Monroe County Sheriff’s office said. That is as Miami Border Patrol Sector agents apprehend and take into custody mostly Cuban men making landfall off the Florida coast on a near daily basis.
In the past week, agents apprehended and took into custody multiple groups of mostly Cuban men.
On July 31, agents apprehended four Cuban nationals who landed in Key Colony Beach attempting to enter the U.S. illegally. They were taken into custody and processed for removal proceedings, Miami Sector CBP Chief Patrol Agent Walter Slosar said. Earlier in the day, 17 Cubans were also taken into custody after they arrived in a rustic vessel in Big Pine Key.
Rustic vessels are often made from scraps of wood or metal and poorly constructed, held together with straps of plastic or rope. They also might include small 25-foot fishing vessels with makeshift motors.
According to Cuba Ferries, it takes 10 hours to travel 250 nautical miles from Havana to Miami. From Cuba to Key West, the sailing distance is roughly 90 nautical miles, or four hours.
On July 30, BP agents apprehended 15 Cubans after their rustic vessel made landfall in the Marquesas Keys, an uninhabited island west of Key West. They were stranded and rescued by a Border Patrol Air and Marine Operation (AMO) unit.
Also on the same day, Border Patrol agents working with law enforcement partners apprehended 11 Cuban men from Matanzas who made landfall in the Florida Keys in a makeshift boat constructed of two-by-fours.
On July 27, BP agents apprehended and took into custody 16 Cubans who made landfall near Key West on a rustic vessel. The day before they’d done the same with seven Cubans who made landfall in a homemade sailing vessel in Boca Grande Key, an uninhabited island west of Key West. The group was also stranded and rescued by BP AMO agents.
On July 24, BP agents, working with local law enforcement partners, apprehended and took into custody seven Cubans who landed at
Pigeon Key in Marathon in a wooden vessel. The day before, they’d done the same with 27 Cubans who made landfall in Key West onboard a wooden vessel.
On July 22, they took into custody 14 Cubans who made landfall at Long Key State Park in the Florida Keys using a makeshift wooden vessel. The day before, they’d apprehended eight Cubans who made landfall at Fort Zachary Taylor State Park in Key West who arrived in a makeshift boat constructed out of pieces of metal. In another instance on the same day, they apprehended a large group of over 50 people in a sailing vessel off the coast of Boca Chita. Local mariners were warned to “stay clear of the area for safety concerns.”
Cubans are continuing to make landfall in the Marquesas Keys, on Jupiter Island, and along the coast of the Florida Keys, according to reports by the Miami Sector. | http://www.southdadenewsleader.com/news/cubans-regularly-being-interdicted-off-florida-coast/article_350597d6-19c2-11ed-a2d1-231872177554.html | 2022-08-13T02:03:04Z | http://www.southdadenewsleader.com/news/cubans-regularly-being-interdicted-off-florida-coast/article_350597d6-19c2-11ed-a2d1-231872177554.html | true | 4 |

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson injured his right knee in the first quarter in Friday night’s preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
After going back to pass, Wilson was flushed out of the pocket and scrambled to his right for 7 yards, but went down after the play. He appeared to injure his knee when planting to cut on Philadelphia’s grass field.
After being checked by trainers, Wilson limped to the sideline on his own power before heading to the locker room. The Jets announced Wilson was questionable to return with a knee injury.
It’s the same knee that Wilson suffered a sprained PCL in Week 7 against New England last year. He was sidelined four games before returning and playing the rest of the season.
There are high hopes this year for the 23-year-old Wilson, who was drafted No. 2 overall last year. He had an up-and-down rookie season, throwing nine touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 13 games, but went without an interception in his final five games.
Wilson was shaky in his first series against Philadelphia’s starters, going 1 for 3 for 10 yards with an interception. Eagles linebacker Kyzir White stepped in front of Wilson’s intended pass for wide receiver Corey Davis and returned it 27 yards to the Jets 20 on what appeared to be a poor read by the New York quarterback. Wilson’s first pass of the game was a badly thrown out-route intended for rookie first-round pick Garrett Wilson.
Wilson struggled with accuracy last season, ranking last in the league in completion rate (55.6%) and passer rating (69.7). His decision-making and accuracy had looked better this summer during training camp.
Before his injury, Zach Wilson was sharper in his second series, albeit against Philadelphia backups. He connected with tight end Tyler Conklin for 4 yards and then hit wide receiver Elijah Moore for 9 yards, finishing 3 for 5 for 23 yards and an interception.
The Jets also have 37-year-old Joe Flacco, but he was not in uniform for the game as a handful of veterans did not play in the preseason opener.

Frustrated residents of Thornton Heath lashed out during a local meeting to address a deadly gas explosion in the area. Local MP Siobhain McDonagh and executive operations director for gas company SGN Martin Holloway were among a selection of panellists to face the angered crowd. Furious locals accused the gas company of failing to properly investigate reports of a gas leak along the road where the tragic explosion occurred. Video footage from the meeting captured the desperate outcries of local residents as the vague answers of the panellists fueled community anguish.
Speaking from a stage in front of the crowd, Mr Holloway said: “While I appreciate it is frustrating, given the ongoing police investigation, I am unable to talk about what happened in the run up to the explosion.
“I know that’s difficult because people want answers about what happened.”
The crowd groaned at the comments of Mr Holloway as Labour MP for the area, Ms McDonagh grabbed the microphone from his hand.
“You will get an opportunity to say something, but we’re going to listen to Martin,” she announced.
The meeting briefly continued before the panel again faced outbursts from the enraged crowd.
One man was filmed shouting across the room, hurling accusations that a failure of proper safety measures allowed the devastating explosion to happen.
Among the crowd, another person pleaded desperately: “Why did it come to this?”

Here’s a reminder that’s so obvious it almost shouldn’t need to be told: Don’t throw out those thin offcuts after you’ve ripped solid lumber for a project. I’ve used them countless times as stir sticks for finishes, glue applicators, thin shims, spacers underneath projects I’m finishing and of course, kindling. They’re so much more useful in the shop than in a landfill!

Anne Heche's heart is being kept beating despite the actress being declared brain dead and legally dead so her organs can be kept functioning and harvested for donation.
A representative for the actress said while the actress is "legally dead
Sources have been reported saying she will be taken off the ventilator in the next day.
Heche's representative Holly Baird said on Friday (Aug 12) in an email to the Los Angeles Times: "She was declared brain dead last night but has been kept on life support for organ donation."
Heche, 53, is being kept on life support at the Grossman Burn Center at West Hills Hospital while medical staffers determine whether any of her organs are viable for donation - which has apparently long been her wish.
The actress' fireball Aug 5 crash left her with "a severe anoxic brain injury," and she was left in a critical condition in a coma, according to a statement on behalf of her family and friends Thursday night.
They added: "Anne had a huge heart and touched everyone she met with her generous spirit.
"More than her extraordinary talent, she saw spreading kindness and joy
Heche's older son, Homer Laffoon, 20, issued a statement Friday mourning the mother he shared with his younger brother Atlas, aged 13.
He said: "Today my brother Atlas and I lost our Mom. After six days of unbelievable emotional swings, I am left with a deep, wordless sadness.
"Hopefully my mom is free from pain and beginning to explore what I like to imagine as her eternal freedom.
"Over those six days, thousands of friends, family and fans made their hearts known to me. I am grateful for their love, as I am for the support of my Dad, Coley, and my step-mom Alexi, who continue to be my rocks during this time. Rest In Peace Mom, I love you, Homer."
The actress is survived by ex-husband Coleman 'Corey' Laffoon, 48, with whom she had Homer, her actor ex and father of second son, James Tupper, 58, and her mother and sister.
She was allegedly dating celebrity dermatologist, Peter Thomas Roth at the time of her death.
Heche's ex Ellen DeGeneres, 64, earlier on Friday tweeted her sadness upon learning that the 'Donnie Brasco' actress was not expected to survive.
She said on Instagram: "This is a sad day. I'm sending Anne's children, family and friends all of my love." | https://www.asiaone.com/entertainment/legally-dead-anne-heches-heart-kept-beating-so-her-organs-can-be-harvested-donation | 2022-08-13T02:41:57Z | https://www.asiaone.com/entertainment/legally-dead-anne-heches-heart-kept-beating-so-her-organs-can-be-harvested-donation | true | 2 |

A 50-year journey comes full circle on the summit of Buffalo Mountain
A hike up Buffalo Mountain 50 years ago changed Jeff Simley’s life.
The Summit County resident remembers riding in his grandfather’s Jeep to Buffalo Cabin in August 1972 as he embarked on a solo mission to forge a path up to the summit, which towered over their house on Lake Dillon.
Unbeknownst to him, his trek that day would lead to a lifelong journey related to what he found at the top. A lifelong lover and collector of topographic maps, he remembers being intrigued by the towers that greeted him at the summit block.
Called “triangulation” stations, the equipment was common back in the ’50s and ’60s as a way for the U.S. Geological Survey to get accurate elevation readings for major peaks. The equipment stood out to Simley because of his interest in topographic maps, which he collected growing up.
Fascinated by the science and his up-close interaction with the equipment, Simley decided to pursue a degree in cartography from University of Wisconsin, which set him up for a mapmaking job with the U.S. Air Force and later a 27-year career of his own with the U.S. Geological Survey, where he used the surveying data that was collected on top of Buffalo Mountain.
To honor of that life-changing event, Simley has been planning a 50th anniversary hike for years, and he successfully accomplished that goal on Aug. 10.
While climbing up the peak for the second time, Simley started to notice some differences since his maiden voyage up the mountain back in 1972.
Although the tundra environment at the peak almost seems to be suspended in time, Simley noted that the towers he once saw are now gone. As he peered down from nearly 13,000 feet above sea level, he took note of how different the towns look — perhaps going through as much change as he has — over the past 50 years.
“Back in ‘72 it was a really rural community,” Simley said. “There were three grocery stores in Summit County, and there was only one hardware store. Now there are so many people, which is totally different.”
While scavenging his way to the top 50 years ago, Simley did not see a single person, which was not the case when he made his climb this year. He counted at least 20 people on the trail at the same time as him.
“Back then there was no trail to the top, and you had to figure out your own way to the top, bushwhacking through the forest,” Simley said. “Then there was an avalanche path that is still there, but you can’t see it very well.”
Another difference Simley noticed was how much harder the hike was now that an official trail has been created.
“The trail goes through about 1,000 vertical feet of boulders,” Simley said. “Climbing over those boulders is really hard, especially for an old guy like me. It is actually a lot harder than 1972 because I went around the boulder field.”
After reflecting on his journey and prior to heading back down to the trailhead parking lot, Simley took an extra moment to soak in the beauty and serenity that was present all around him.
“When you are on top of a mountain like that, the distance between you and heaven is really close,” Simley said. “I call it the “thin space.” It is kind of a spiritual feeling, and when you climb a mountain you experience that “thin space.” That is how I felt. It was an exhilarating and rewarding, spiritual experience to be on top.”
Simley’s 50th anniversary hike up Buffalo Mountain marks his 98th summit in his lifetime. Simley is hoping to get to a 100 peaks by the end of the summer. He plans to round out the summer with summits of Ypsilon Mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park and Atlantic Peak in the Tenmile Range in Summit County.
“It was a real wonderful thing, and I love climbing mountains,” Simley said. “I am going for a 100, that’s my big goal.”

1. Don’t allow soil to remain bare. After harvesting vegetable crops for the final time and removing the plants that produced them, don’t allow the soil they grew on – or any other soil in the garden, for that matter – to remain uncovered. Sun pounding on bare soil kills the beneficial microbial life living underneath. Aerobic bacteria such as actinomycetes and mycorrhizae (symbiotic associations between fungi and roots) contribute mightily to soil fertility. But these organisms vanish where soil is bare. Where you see bare soil, deposit a layer of mulch several inches thick on the soil surface or plant a cover crop. Clover is a highly desirable cover crop because it not only adds nitrogen to the soil in the manner of all legumes (e.g. peas, beans, and lupines), but its roots aerate the soil as well. After the clover matures and flowers, but before it goes to seed, incorporate it into the soil. Wait four weeks before planting another vegetable crop or any other garden annual or perennial favorites that strike your fancy. In California, fall is the best season for planting clover as a cover crop so plan for it now. More than a dozen varieties of clover may be ordered through the website at outsidepride.com.
2. Divide irises. If you divide and replant your flag or bearded irises now, you should see them bloom as early as next spring. The procedure is simple enough, especially since digging up irises is easy owing to their shallow roots. Once they have been removed from the soil, their rhizomes or thick semi-underground stems can be pulled apart. You may wish to cut the leaves down to within several inches of the rhizomes for easier handling. Prepare your soil with a few shovels of compost and then lay the rhizomes down horizontally so that they are half covered and half exposed. Three rhizomes planted together, with leaves facing outward, will make a nice cluster of blooms.
3. You can pick herbs continually, of course, but as summer comes to a close, the oils which give herbs their flavors and scents become most concentrated. To maximize both taste and fragrance, cut leaves as soon as dew dries early in the morning before temperatures rise. To preserve your herbs, run them under cold water, chop them up a bit, and place leaf pieces in ice cube trays filled with water. Put trays in the freezer and extract your herbs, mummified in ice, as the need for them arises. It is also advisable to remove flowers from herb plants since the seed-making process diminishes the potency of their foliage.
4. Harvest potatoes and bulb onions when their leaves topple over after turning brown or yellow. Dig gingerly into the soil and carefully lift the tubers and the bulbs from the earth. Place them in the shade or in a garage with good air circulation to activate the curing process. After a week or two, the skin will have toughened, extending the storage life of these crops. Always keep potatoes out of the light to prevent them from turning green, which renders them inedible. You can grow both potatoes and onions from store-bought produce, something to keep in mind if you decide to plant them next spring.
5. Save tomato seeds for planting next year. This applies to open-pollinated, heirloom varieties only, as opposed to hybrids, since only seeds of the former grow into plants true to type, meaning their fruit will be identical to that from which the seeds have been taken. Lay your tomato seeds on a paper towel and leave them there for two weeks. Fold up the towel and put it in an envelope, labeling it with the name of the variety and that day’s date. Stored at room temperature, tomato seeds remain viable for five years while kept in airtight containers they remain viable twice as long. Among the most popular heirloom tomatoes are Cherokee Purple, Brandywine, Green Zebra, and Hawaiian Pineapple. You will find tomato plants in the nursery through the fall and, once established in the garden, if the winter is mild, they may continue to produce fruit through the end of this year and beyond. Cherry tomatoes are especially notable when it comes the capacity for putting out flowers and fruit in the winter.

For first time, researchers can tell where in Nevada has the highest imprisonment rate
A new analysis shows which Nevada communities have the highest rate of residents in state prisons, and that certain reservations and neighborhoods such as Las Vegas’ Historic Westside — as well as some rural areas — have disproportionately high rates.
The analysis was released Tuesday by the nonpartisan Prison Policy Initiative , which describes its mission as exposing “the broader harm of mass criminalization,” and was made possible because Nevada changed state law on how it counts prisoners. It showed what authors described as a pattern of over-policing of communities of color that in turn “seriously impacts the health and stability of the families and communities left behind.”
Among the top takeaways:
- Nevada has an imprisonment rate of 252 per 100,000 residents.
- Nye and White Pine counties have the highest imprisonment rates for counties at more than 300 per 100,000, a fact that report authors say “demonstrates that incarceration is not a problem unique to big cities.”
- Henderson has a relatively low rate of 120 per 100,000, and also has poverty levels lower than the state average.
- Las Vegas has the second-highest imprisonment rate among Nevada cities, behind only Ely, at 330 per 100,000. But the rate is noticeably higher around certain historically Black neighborhoods such as the Historic Westside and North Las Vegas’ Windsor Park.
- Las Vegas City Council’s Ward 5 — which includes West Las Vegas and an area north of U.S. 95 — has an imprisonment rate of 685 per 100,000 residents, and residents there are six times more likely to be in prison than fellow citizens in the adjacent Ward 6.
“The fact that the highest rates of imprisonment are concentrated in these areas is no surprise, given that research has shown that policing tends to be concentrated in communities composed predominantly of people of color , which results in people living in these communities experiencing disproportionate arrest and incarceration rates,” wrote report authors, who include Noé Orosco of the advocacy group Silver State Voices and Athar Haseebullah, executive director of the ACLU of Nevada.
The analysis comes as lawmakers in 2019 ended the practice of “prison gerrymandering,” in which incarcerated people are counted in the census as part of the county where their prison is located, rather than based on their last home address.
Because many prisons are located in rural areas, the practice has the effect of boosting political power and funding in those rural districts, while taking it away from prisoners’ home neighborhoods. Twenty-five percent of the population of Pershing County in 2020, for example, was living in two state prisons located there.
When Nevada went through the redistricting process last year, they were able to identify the home addresses of more than 7,800 inmates and designate their homes as their last known address , although another 4,000 inmates were unable to be matched with their home address for various reasons.
Authors recommend the findings could be used to guide policymakers in where to direct investments that may prevent people from getting involved in the criminal justice system.
It argues that imprisonment creates “cascading collateral consequences,” including trauma and financial strain on children and loved ones left behind when family members are incarcerated, as well as mental health, employment and housing obstacles faced by people returning from prison to the community.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Deshaun Watson’s best play in his preseason debut with the Cleveland Browns came long before he took the field in Jacksonville.
Watson apologized Friday “to all the women I have impacted” after being accused by two dozen women of sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions.
Potentially facing a year-long suspension, Watson publicly expressed remorse and contrition for the first time since he was accused of sexually harassing or assaulting the women during therapy sessions in 2020 and 2021.
He spoke before the team’s exhibition opener, a 24-13 victory against the Jaguars (0-2) in which Watson was roundly booed during three series of work. Fans in one end zone could be heard chanting vulgarities at Watson during his first drive.
The three-time Pro Bowler completed 1 of 5 passes for 7 yards in his first game action since Jan. 3, 2021, with Houston.
Watson managed no first downs and 7 yards while playing without receiver Amari Cooper, running backs Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt, and offensive linemen Joel Bitonio and Jack Conklin. Starting center Nick Harris, who is replacing NFLPA president and salary-cap casualty JC Tretter, went down on the second play with a right knee injury.
Cleveland trailed 13-0 when Watson’s night ended. He spent much of the second half sitting on a cooler on the sideline and chewing gum. If he made any strides, they came before kickoff.
“Look, I want to say that I’m truly sorry to all of the women that I have impacted in this situation,” Watson said in the pregame interview. “The decisions that I made in my life that put me in this position I would definitely like to have back, but I want to continue to move forward and grow and learn and show that I am a true person of character and I am going to keep pushing forward.”
Watson has denied any wrongdoing, and grand juries in two Texas counties declined to indict him on criminal complaints. He settled 23 of 24 civil lawsuits.
He’s still facing discipline from the league, which is appealing independent arbiter Sue L. Robinson’s six-game suspension. The retired federal judge concluded Watson violated the league’s personal conduct policy with “egregious” and “predatory” behavior. As part of her ruling, Robinson noted Watson’s lack of remorse.
The NFL is seeking a full-season ban along with a significant fine over $5 million and wants Watson to undergo evaluation and treatment before he could be reinstated. The appeal is now with Peter C. Harvey, a former New Jersey attorney general appointed by Commissioner Roger Goodell.
There’s no timetable on Harvey’s decision. It’s also possible the sides could work out a settlement.
Watson jogged into TIAA Bank Field with a security guard at his side and later stopped to sign autographs following warmups. No protests against Watson were found outside the stadium, although several cars could be seen sporting unsavory messages ripping the embattled quarterback.
BETTER JAGS
Jacksonville played most of its starters and looked considerably better than it did in the Hall of Fame game last week in Canton, Ohio.
Trevor Lawrence completed 6 of 12 passes for 95 yards and a touchdown, a 9-yarder to Evan Engram on a fourth-down play.
Running back Travis Etienne played for the first time since suffering a foot injury last preseason and ran for 23 yards. He also had a 10-yard reception that set up a field goal.
The Jaguars scored on each of their first three possessions, significant signs of progress as new coach Doug Pederson leads another rebuild in Jacksonville.
FORD SHINES
Browns rookie running back Jerome Ford, a fifth-round pick from Cincinnati, had a standout night. Ford ran for 57 yards and a touchdown and caught four passes for 46 yards and a score.
Brown is giving Cleveland another option in a crowded — and talented — backfield. Chubb and Hunt sat out, leaving D’Ernest Johnson to start. But Johnson fumbled on the second series, and Ford took over from there.
SOLID DOBBS
Josh Dobbs may have eased some concerns about whether he can be Jacoby Brissett’s backup with a solid performance, completing 10 of 13 passes for 108 yards and a touchdown. He directed three scoring drives as the Browns rallied.
Brissett, who is scheduled to start during Watson’s suspension, sat out the game as a precaution.

ALLIANCE, Ohio (WJW) — Eight-year-old Asa Baker has spent this year’s hot summer days running a lemonade stand, mostly from in front of her family’s home just outside the city limits of Alliance, Ohio.
“It’s fun and you get lots of people,” said Asa, adding that where she lives a lot of truckers stop to buy some lemonade or treats from her stand, many times leaving more than the $1 per glass she charges.
But during the City of Alliance’s Rib and Food Festival this past weekend, Asa asked her father if she could set up her stand outside of the downtown business where he works, in an alley about half a block from the festival. With the permission of the business owner, Asa set up her stand.
Later, she says, a police officer approached and asked her to shut it down.
“Well, they were really sad they had to shut me down but they gave me $20 to try and pay for it,” said Asa. The girl said the $20 given was intended to pay for a permit she needed to be selling refreshments.
“We looked it up and it was pretty much anywhere in Ohio. You have to have a license and I’ve never heard of that,” said dad Kyle Clark.
And he’s right. There are only 14 states where a permit or license is not required to sell lemonade at a lemonade stand.
Although police rarely enforce these laws, Ohio isn’t one of those states.
Alliance Police Lieutenant Don Wensel says the city is not out targeting kids running lemonade stands, but in this case, there was a complaint from festival organizers. Once the complaint was filed, the police department is obligated to enforce city ordinances.
In the codified ordinances of the City of Alliance, it’s stated that any vendor must obtain a license before opening — with no exceptions, not even for children’s lemonade stands.
“Later that day, I made a [social media] post in appreciation for the officer that gave her the money for shutting it down,” said mom Katrina Moore. “You know, as unfortunate as it was, I still was very grateful that he was at least able to give her $20.”
The post caught the attention of numerous people, including local business owner Eric Strata.
He made space in front of his business, Black Sales Liquidation, where Asa could sell her lemonade and treats. He even used his own tip jar to collect money so Asa could buy her permit.
Strata says in just a few hours he collected about $250.
But some of the adults say they still don’t understand which permit is appropriate for a child to get to sell lemonade.
“In order to get a food vendor’s license, it only lasts for five days and it’s $40 for five days,” said Moore. “So that’s kind of out of the picture. If she wants to sell on the street, she has to get a street permit. If she sells in front of a business, we have to get a solicitor’s permit.”
On Friday, Baker’s lemonade stand was back up in front of Strata’s business where police say they were not going to bother her. Several customers were stopped to buy lemonade and snacks or to just make contributions.
“I understand the rules, I understand why she got shut down,” said Moore. “It’s just a sad, sad situation.” | https://www.wkrn.com/news/national/8-year-olds-lemonade-stand-shut-down-outside-ohio-festival/ | 2022-08-13T03:10:02Z | https://www.wkrn.com/news/national/8-year-olds-lemonade-stand-shut-down-outside-ohio-festival/ | true | 26 |
HURLEY, N.Y. — The Ulster County District Attorney’s Office has released the name of a Hurley woman arrested by the Ulster County SPCA last month and charged with animal cruelty.
Nicole Baggatta, 50, of Dewitt Mills Road, Hurley, was arrested on Tuesday, July 26, and charged with 30 counts of animal cruelty and 30 counts of owning and harboring an unlicensed dog, all misdemeanors, according to Felicia Raphael, unit chief of the District Attorney’s Animal Crime Unit and bureau chief for financial and cyber crimes.
Thirty Yorkshire terriers were seized on July 26 from Baggatta’s residence on Dewitt Mills Road. She was released with appearance tickets for Hurley Town Court.
Raphael said she expects there will be a court hearing on the charges in late August, but did not have an exact date.
Baggatta relinquished custody of the 30 Yorkshire terriers that had been subject to “deplorable conditions,” according to Gina Carbonari, the SPCA’s executive director. Carbonari declined to release Baggatta’s name, citing the ongoing investigation.
Raphael said a review of evidence in the case by her office will determine if any of Baggatta’s alleged offenses warrant felony charges.
It remains “unclear” whether Baggatta was keeping the dogs for breeding. “I don’t know if this is a hoarding situation or someone who was trying to rescue dogs or if she was breeding them,” Raphael said.
The dogs were allegedly kept in dirty kennels and suffered from matting of their fur that was so severe that some were unable to walk when they were rescued, Carbonari has said.
As of Thursday, Aug. 11, the SPCA had placed all of the dogs in foster or permanent homes and expected them all to be adopted almost immediately after the remaining dogs are spayed or neutered, Carbonari said.

Bob Dylan's lawyers are seeking "monetary damages" against a legal team accusing the musician of committing sexual abuse nearly 60 years ago.
In the lawsuit, filed in August 2021, a woman identified as J.C. claimed that Dylan sexually abused her in 1965 when she was 12. She initially said the abuse took place in his apartment in Manhattan's Chelsea Hotel over six weeks in April and May of that year, but later expanded her timeframe to "a period of several months in the spring of 1965," according to the Independent.
A representative for Dylan denied the allegations, telling the outlet at the time that the "56-year-old claim is untrue and will be vigorously defended."
The case was later dropped after Dylan's lawyers said the accuser destroyed key evidence. Now Billboard is reporting that Dylan's lawyers are pursuing sanctions, citing "brazen misconduct."
In a letter to the judge, Dylan's lead attorney, Orin Snyder, slammed attorneys Daniel Isaacs and Peter Gleason over their "systematic discovery violations" while handling the case.
"Mr. Isaacs and Mr. Gleason should not have brought this action — accusing defendant of a heinous crime — if they did not intend to responsibly litigate it," wrote Snyder, according to Billboard. "It is more than appropriate to hold them accountable."
Before the lawsuit was scrapped, Dylan's lawyers claimed the woman's legal team was refusing to comply with court orders to provide evidence after allegedly deleting key text messages and emails that were relevant to the case, the Independent noted.
Dylan's lawyers asserted that the lawsuit was a “lawyer-driven sham” while stating it was "outrageous that it was ever brought in the first place."
Isaacs responded in a letter filed Tuesday, saying that the lawsuit was "brought in good faith and with the intent of responsibly litigating the matter."
He blamed the problems on the "recalcitrance" of his client, who allegedly refused to hand over key materials despite repeated requests.
"At no point did either Mr. Gleason or I willfully withhold discovery or engage in discovery misconduct," Isaacs wrote. "We attempted to comply as best we could given the circumstances, including plaintiff suffering PTSD, which was exacerbated when her identity was illegally made public following the commencement of this action."
In their filing, Dylan's attorneys argued that the materials were documents that the accuser's lawyers "should have possessed and reviewed before ever bringing this lawsuit in the first place."
"Many of the documents we have seen, including scores of emails between plaintiff and key third parties whom counsel apparently never even bothered to interview, undermine and contradict plaintiff’s allegations," Snyder wrote.

- Mindy describes herself as a foodie who tries to eat in moderation to keep her body fueled and feeling good.
Mindy Kaling knows a thing or two about making the perfect entrance. And the actress put that skill into practice when she came to Today’s show in New York this week.
Photographers snapped photos of Mindy getting out of her car outside the venue, wearing a lavender mini dress and silver heels. And all I can say is that the sleek cut shows off her long, toned legs. Along with her impeccable style and sculpted muscles, Mindy also sported a smile that literally looks like sunshine.
Office The actress recently made a revelation about fitness and working out. In my twenties, I thought a workout had to be something punishing, like 45 minutes of running and you had to hate it all the time, she said Today. I no longer have that relationship with exercise.
In fact, Mindy found that she really enjoyed running and used it as an outlet for mental health. She even referenced the “restorative power of a run” when describing her daily jog at Marie Claire. “I’m always so embarrassed to say how much I love running because I don’t look like someone who’s athletic or anything. But it really helped me,” she said.
This content is imported from the survey. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, on their website.
Mindy also said that making time to exercise affects more than just her fitness goals. “It focuses me and makes me a better writer. I think I’m a friendlier person, a more patient mother,” she said. Marie Claire.
Perhaps that’s the secret to the witty banter she’s so famous for. For my part, I’m really looking forward to all his new jokes in the third season of I have never, who falls tonight on Netflix.
Mindy takes a holistic approach to her health these days and explained how it has become more important to her in recent years. “In no way was I thinking about the things that are most important to me now, which is my health, by keeping the door open behind me for others, I lived a much more selfish existence,” did she admit to Marie Claire.
But being surrounded by her family and the strong community of young women on her show helped change her attitude. And she definitely seems happy these days, I mean, look at that contagious smile:
When we talk about his diet, the The sex life of college girls the designer promised that she would “never stop being a foodie” and that she would “never be someone who can just eat spinach and salmon every day,” she said Today.
Instead, she focuses on eating everything in moderation. So far, she likes this approach. “For me, the most amazing thing is that all my clothes fit me,” she said. Today. It’s so easy to prepare and it’s great. I feel happy about it.
She added that she never weighs herself and focuses on how she feels rather than the number.

Watson apologizes, then struggles in Browns preseason debut
By MARK LONG
AP Pro Football Writer
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Deshaun Watson’s best play in his preseason debut with the Cleveland Browns came long before he took the field in Jacksonville. Watson apologized “to all the women I have impacted” after being accused by two dozen women of sexual misconduct during massage therapy sessions. He spoke before the team’s exhibition opener, a 24-13 victory against the Jaguars in which Watson was roundly booed during three series of work. Fans in one end zone could be heard chanting vulgarities at Watson during his first drive. The three-time Pro Bowler completed 1 of 5 passes for 7 yards in his first game action since Jan. 3, 2021, with Houston. | https://kyma.com/news/ap-business/2022/08/12/watson-apologizes-then-struggles-in-browns-preseason-debut-2/ | 2022-08-13T03:52:05Z | https://kyma.com/news/ap-business/2022/08/12/watson-apologizes-then-struggles-in-browns-preseason-debut-2/ | false | null |

Jonathan Ward, trying to win a spot in a crowded Arizona backfield, ran for two touchdowns and the Cardinals beat the Cincinnati Bengals 36-23 in a preseason opener Friday night that saw starters for both teams watching from the sideline in street clothes.
Ward plunged in for a pair of 1-yard touchdowns in the second quarter.
Trace McSorley and Jarrett Guarantano, in competition to be the third-string quarterback, shared the snaps for the Cardinals. McSorley, who was signed midway through the 2021 season, threw for 163 yards and a touchdown to Andre Baccellia.
Guarantano, an undrafted free agent, was 7 for 10 for 54 yards and tossed a short touchdown pass to Jontre Kirklin.
The Bengals lost Brandon Allen, who backed up Joe Burrow last season, early in the game with a concussion. That left third-stringer Jake Browning to direct Cincinnati the rest of the way, except for a late appearance by undrafted free agent Drew Plitt.
It was Plitt who had the highlight for the Bengals, a 25-yard scoring pass to Kendric Pryor with 1:14 left. He completed all six of his pass attempts for 76 yards.
Evan McPherson picked up where he left off in his terrific rookie season, booting field goals of 23, 58 and 56 yards for Cincinnati.
It was a messy affair for the Bengals' rookies and back-ups. They were flagged for 11 penalties that cost them 104 yards. That included a 60-yard run by running back Chris Evans that was erased by a holding penalty.
Keaontay Ingram also had a 1-yard touchdown run for Arizona (1-0).
Trent Taylor added four catches for 74 yards. Jacques Patrick ran for a 1-yard TD in the fourth quarter.
Burrow, who led the Bengals to their first Super Bowl in 33 years last season, is still recovering from an appendectomy on July 27. Plitt was signed as insurance when Burrow went down.
INJURIES
Bengals: Allen went out after playing the first series. It's not clear how long he'll be out. ... TE Mitchell Wilcox left in the first quarter with an ankle injury and didn't return.
Cardinals: Baccellia suffered an ankle injury in the first half and didn't return.
UP NEXT
Cardinals: Host Ravens on Aug. 21.
Bengals: At Giants on Aug. 21.

Following the news that Michelle Branch and her husband of three years, Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney, are separating, comes the news that Michelle was arrested early Thursday morning for slapping Carney.
According to a police report viewed by ABC Audio, officers were called the couple’s home about a possible domestic disturbance, and Michelle said she’d slapped Carney in the face one or two times. Carney confirmed that, though he had no visible injuries, and Michelle was taken into custody.
TMZ reports that Michelle’s bail was set at $1,000. She was subsequently released from custody early because she’s currently breastfeeding the couple’s 6-month-old daughter, Willie.
As previously reported, Michelle issued a statement to People about the split, which read, “To say that I am totally devastated doesn’t even come close to describing how I feel for myself and for my family. The rug has been completely pulled from underneath me and now I must figure out how to move forward.”
Michelle and Carney share two children, Willie and 4-year-old Rhys. Michelle has a 17-year-old daughter, Owen, from her previous marriage. She and Carney wed in 2019.

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

Perseid meteor shower reaches peak this week: When to see it
PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) – The Perseid meteor shower is an astronomical highlight of the summer for many people – and it’s about to hit its peak.
MORE INFO: Space Talk w/ Bradley – Your August 2022 Night Sky GuideEvery summer, Perseid meteors fly across the sky between July and September, but they hit their peak shortly before mid-August. This year, astronomers expect the peak will occur on the night of August 11-12.
“We’re seeing the debris left behind by an apparent comet called Swift-Tuttle,” explained Jim Todd, director of space science education at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.
He said ice particles and rocks that are often no larger than a grain of sand enter Earth’s atmosphere. They encounter friction and create plasma, which is the bright streak – either a meteor or shooting star – humans see flying across the sky.
Most are destroyed during entry, but the rare few that survive and hit Earth’s surface are known as meteorites.
NEAR YOU: West Virginia Sheriff says he’s no longer responding to certain 911 callsThe Perseid shower is named after the constellation Perseus, which the meteors appear to radiate from. Todd compared it to a showerhead and said if you follow the tail of a meteor backward, you’ll see it points toward Perseus.
Most years, at the Perseid Meteor Shower’s peak, people can see 60 to 100 meteors in an hour from a dark place, but those numbers might be a bit higher than what people can expect to see this week. That’s because of the full moon on August 11.
The moon’s brightness could result in people seeing about 20% fewer meteors than they normally would, Todd explained.
If that’s the case, Todd said to keep watching the sky in the days after the peak. You may end up seeing more meteors as the moon wanes and becomes dimmer.
“Sometimes you’ll see more … two or three days later than you will see on the peak,” Todd said. “It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to see the most on the 11th and 12th.”
NEW DINOSAUR: Giant bone-crushing dog roamed Gray fossil siteThe one convenient thing about the moon’s brightness is it means stargazers really won’t notice much of a difference spotting meteors if they stay in the city or venture out to the country. They’ll be difficult to spot either way.
For anyone hoping to capture photos of meteors in the sky, Todd recommended using a DSLR camera and setting it up with a long exposure of about 5 to 10 minutes. He said pointing it about 30 degrees northeast would be a good position to capture the sky. However, there is never a guarantee the timing or positioning will be right.
“It’s like going fishing. You put your line out, you just don’t know when you’re gonna catch it,” Todd said.
The bright moon will likely make some photos overexposed, he warned.

BOSTON (AP) — J.D. Martinez had three hits, including a game-tying RBI single in the ninth, and Tommy Pham hit a walk-off single in the 10th on Friday night to lead the last-place Boston Red Sox to a 3-2 victory over Aaron Judge and the AL East-leading New York Yankees.
New York pitchers retired 12 straight Boston batters before closer Clay Holmes walked two with one out in the ninth and then gave up Martinez’s single up the middle.
Judge, who hit his major league-leading 46th home run in the third inning, reached base for the fourth time when he was walked to lead off the 10th. But Garrett Whitlock fanned Josh Donaldson and Gleyber Torres to end the threat.
In the bottom half, automatic runner Christian Arroyo took third on a groundout and then stayed there on pinch-hitter Reese McGuire’s bunt single. Pham, a trade deadline acquisition, punched one down the third-base line to end it.
Whitlock (3-2) struck out three and walked one in two innings.
Lou Trivino (1-7) allowed two hits and recorded one out for the Yankees, who remain 10 games ahead in their division despite losing three straight and eight of nine.
Judge hit the first pitch of the third inning 429 feet, over the Monster Seats and onto Lansdowne Street for his 100th RBI; he is on a pace to hit 66 home runs. He also walked twice and was hit by a pitch, reaching base at least three times for the fifth game in a row.
Jose Trevino had two hits, and Anthony Rizzo had a first-inning double to drive in Judge.
FOR STARTERS
Yankees starter Domingo Germán was charged with one run on five hits and two walks, striking out four in six innings.
Nathan Eovaldi dodged the loss when the Red Sox rallied in the ninth. He allowed two runs on eight hits and two walks, striking out three in six innings.
INFIELD SPRY
With Andrew Benintendi on first and Trevino at the plate, Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts let a popup drop, then flipped it to second base for the force out. The decision left Trevino at first instead of Benintendi, a faster runner.
SHORT HOPS
Academy Award-winning actress Jennifer Hudson threw out a ceremonial first pitch. ... The Red Sox played a highlight video for Benintendi, a member of the 2018 World Series championship team. He had not played in Fenway Park since the Red Sox traded him to Kansas City before the 2021 season.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Yankees: Donaldson shook it off after going over the dugout railing in pursuit of a foul popup. He remained in the game.
Red Sox: Kiké Hernández went 0-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in a rehab appearance for the Double-A Portland SeaDogs. He batted second and played center field. He could rejoin the Red Sox as soon as Tuesday. ... RHP Tyler Danish also appeared for Portland, allowing one run on one hit and two walks in one inning, striking out two.
UP NEXT
Yankees: RHP Frankie Montas (4-9) pitches for New York against Boston’s Kutter Crawford (3-4) in Game 2 of the three-game series.

Arsenal's attention in the summer transfer window looks set to turn towards departures, having seen five players arrive at the Emirates Stadium to boost Mikel Arteta's squad.
But those arrivals have also left Arteta's group looking bloated, though Bernd Leno, Pablo Mari and Lucas Torreira have departed. But more exits are expected to come, with several more members of Arteta's squad heading towards the departure lounge.
The Gunners are still looking to bring in attacking reinforcements, though that may need to wait until they move on more fringe players. Here, Mirror Football rounds up the latest Arsenal transfer news.
HAVE YOUR SAY! How would you rate Arsenal's transfer window so far? Comment below.
City 'in play' for Tierney
Having seen Oleksandr Zinchenko arrive from Manchester City, Kieran Tierney could see his playing opportunities decrease this season. Zinchenko started the win over Crystal Palace, with Tierney named among the substititues.
With that in mind, Manchester City are now reportedly weighing up making a move for the Scotland international. According to the Daily Telegraph, Pep Guardiola is looking to bring in a left-back with Premier League experience.
That has led them towards Tierney, who could 'come into play' as the window enters its final weeks. City have drawn up a shortlist containing several names, but it is unknown how high up their shopping list Tierney is.
Diaby price named
Arsenal have reportedly been told that it will take a fee in the region of £60m to sign Moussa Diaby. The Gunners are looking to bring in a winger to boost Arteta's options in attack.
Diaby has emerged as one of their top targets following an impressive spell with Bayer Leverkusen. According to But! Football Club, Arteta 'strongly likes' Diaby, though a move could prove difficult to negotiate.
It is stated that a fee in the region of £60m could make it 'possible' for the Gunners to seal a deal. But with three years remaining on his contract, Leverkusen are the club in the 'driving seat', though the Frenchman is said to be keen to join Arteta's side.
Bellerin 'offered' to Barca
Hector Bellerin has reportedly been offered to Barcelona as Arsenal desperately attempt to move the right-back on. Bellerin is not in Mikel Arteta's plans and is free to leave the Premier League side.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the 27-year-old was 'offered' to Barcelona, who are looking for a right-back. It is stated that the La Liga giants would look 'very favourably' on bringing him back to Spain, and could take advantage of Real Betis' stalling move for him.
Though they have not ruled out a move, it is said that they have 'other priorities'. Xavi is thought to be a fan of Bellerin and the fact he could be available on a free transfer would also boost the chances of a deal being done. | https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-transfer-update-tierney-bellerin-27726266 | 2022-08-13T04:34:21Z | https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/arsenal-transfer-update-tierney-bellerin-27726266 | true | 1 |

The Roman Catholic church, located on Long Circular Road in Maraval, plans to celebrate its 70th anniversary with a series of events including a novena, a feast day, a concert and restoration work on the church building.
Pope Pius XII established the Assumption on November 1, 1950 and the parish church adopted the title The Parish of the Assumption, which is celebrated on August 15 each year. The Church of the Assumption is an essential part of Trinidad and Tobago’s architectural heritage.
Parish priest Fr Ashton Pierre told the Express the way forward for the parish begins with three Rs—Reconnect, Revitalise and Restore. Pierre said the Covid-19 pandemic has negatively affected family and parish life, as many parishioners lost jobs, which added to the stress on relationships and negatively impacted church attendance.
“The planning for the 70th anniversary year began with a small team and myself meeting to determine how, as a church, we would celebrate the parish’s anniversary year. This was still in the pre-lifting phase of protocol during the pandemic.
“As we were discussing ways forward, we came up with what we call the three Rs, to reconnect with parishioners, ministries, and ourselves; to revitalise parish ministries; and to restore relationships and the physical building,” Pierre said.
Parishioners can look forward to experiencing anniversary celebrations in the coming days. There will be a Feast Day on August 15 at 6 p.m., followed by a concert titled Echoes of Love to be held at Queen’s Hall in St Ann’s, on August 21 at 6 p.m., under the patronage of Rev Charles Jason Gordon, Archbishop of Port of Spain.
The concerts
The concert is expected to feature Debra Bartholomew and Reynold Woodroffe; Hermina Charles; Johanna Chuckaree; Johann Chuckaree; Marsha Woodley; Matthew Newallo; QED featuring Raymond Edwards, Nigel Floyd, and Dr Edward Cumberbatch; Stefan Roach; Stephanie Nahous; The Love Movement, and The Marionettes Chorale.
Pierre, who has been parish priest at the Parish of the Assumption for the last six years, said parishioners should not want to miss out on any of the Assumption’s celebrations. “The Feast Day began with a Novena on the 6th of August. But for the Feast Day on the 15th, worshippers are invited to bring on the Feast Day roses in the form of non-perishable items, which will be given to the poor.
“The concert is a way of celebrating our choirs and those in the music ministry who over the years have ministered in voice or musical instruments to our parishioners. And a way to bring parishioners and all who are associated with our parish to an evening of entertainment, Pierre said.
Historical building
Restoration work is also under way at the historical church. Pierre said, “One of the first activities we decided to look at was the physical church building and determine what physical repairs were needed. A special building committee was established for this project and the scope of work was decided.”
In 1949 Anthony C Lewis, the church’s original architect, was asked by the Catholic Archbishop to design a church for Maraval. The aim, Pierre said, is to keep the integrity of the historic building. “Because the Assumption Church was determined to be a historical building, we needed to ensure that any construction done would adhere to the original architects’ plans. We have been able to repair the columns at the front of the church, for which they are well known, as well as other major repairs,” Pierre said.
Pierre said, in 1948, what was envisioned to be a simple building with a galvanised roof by the then parish of St Patrick’s, Fr Mark Connolly, turned out to be the magnificent structure at the Assumption Church.
“In 1952, the foundation stone was laid by Archbishop Finbar Ryan on January 21, and the opening of the church was done with a solemn mass on December 21 of that same year. The building cost at the time was $240,000. Unfortunately, the bell tower had to be omitted,” Pierre said.
“Above all, we wanted to celebrate our parishioners. I see the 70th anniversary as an opportunity to celebrate all the priests who have given dedicated service to our parish church, beginning with the first parish priest, Fr Cornelius Roche, OP, and all our parishioners, along with those who have died.
“Each priest would have brought their own style of doing things as they strived to meet the needs of the people. We also celebrate present and past members of our parish ministries who have contributed to the building up of our parish. We sincerely thank all parishioners who have sacrificed in the building of the church its upkeep and all the support and prayers they have given over the years,” Pierre said. | https://trinidadexpress.com/assumption-church-marks-70-years/article_58d7a812-1912-11ed-aba4-07c812bd505e.html | 2022-08-13T04:35:01Z | https://trinidadexpress.com/assumption-church-marks-70-years/article_58d7a812-1912-11ed-aba4-07c812bd505e.html | true | 2 |
Chrishell Stause and G-Flip will likely show off their 'low-key romance' in upcoming season of Selling Sunset
Chrishell Stause will likely put her blossoming romance on display in the upcoming sixth season of Selling Sunset.
Sources close to the 41-year-old reality star said her partner G Flip, 27, will most likely join her when filming the next season though they haven't shared as many photos to their respective Instagram accounts.
'They’ve been more low-key about their romance since there’s been a lot of speculation about their relationship, so they want to keep it more private on social media,' an insider told Us Weekly.
Lots of love: Chrishell Stause will likely put her love on display in the upcoming sixth season of Selling Sunset (pictured 2021)
The source continued '[There’s] never a dull moment for them — they’re always finding fun ways to keep the spark alive.'
The positive trend of their relationship had the insider insisting that there was a good chance G Flip would appear in the next season.
'It would make sense that G Flip films Selling Sunset with Chrishell, especially if they’re together and cameras are around,' the individual said. Filming has not yet started on the show's sixth edition.

Sparks: The source continued '[There’s] never a dull moment for them — they’re always finding fun ways to keep the spark alive' (pictured June 2022)
G Flip previously expressed a slight disinterest in appearing on the beloved reality television show.
'I never thought of my life as being on a reality show. I think I want to stick to the music,' they told Entertainment Tonight back in July. 'I don’t want people to know me as a reality star rather than, like, the musician, because my whole life I’ve been playing music. Since I was 9 years old, that’s always been my dream. I always just want to be in studios or onstage playing drums and stuff. So I don’t think it’s really for me.
Despite those comments, G Flip also assured fans they liked Stause's cast mates and supported the Kentucky native.
The lovebirds met in February, when Chrishell starred in a music video for G Flip, but it wasn't until May that she announced on the Selling Sunset reunion that they were dating.

The setting could have been awkward, as Chrishell previously dated the Oppenheim Group's co-founder Jason Oppenheim, but he seemed happy for her.
'They seem like a bada**, for one,' he said of G Flip. 'And two, the smile that's been on your face the last couple [of] minutes makes me very happy. So I'm proud of you.'
She and the Oppenheim Group CEO ended their five-month-long relationship back in December 2021.
Prior to that relationship, she dated Dancing With The Stars pro Keo Motsepe for three months from 2020 to 2021.
The former soap opera actress was formerly married to This Is Us star Justin Hartley beginning in 2017, but he filed for divorce in 2019.

It has been a scary couple of hours for New York Jets fans.
A game that was supposed to be light and easy ended up being anything but. On the second drive of the Jets preseason, quarterback Zach Wilson went down on what appeared to be a non-contact injury.
Everyone assumed the worst, but after letting everything marinate we got an extremely encouraging update on his present and future.

A Light at the End of the Tunnel
After the game head coach Robert Saleh provided “no update” on Wilson’s status. Instead, he reiterated that he wanted to wait to see the MRI results before saying anything publically.
However, a short while later NFL Insider Connor Hughes of SNY was able to spill some juicy details based on some sourced reporting.
The Jets believe “they have avoided” the doomsday scenario of a season-ending injury. Hughes says there is “genuine belief” that this will be an injury that costs him weeks, not the entire season.
Hughes got more specific on Twitter from what he has heard saying the best case scenario features Wilson only missing two to three weeks.
If that were to hold serve the former BYU passer could in theory still be ready for the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens on September 11.
However, if the “worst case” scenario based on this new information were to unfold, Wilson would miss between four and six weeks, according to Hughes. In that case, the young quarterback could miss the start of the season.
Hughes went into full detail on his report during a late television hit on SNY with Jeane Coakley:
Thank Heavens
After the bad news of Mekhi Becton being out for the season earlier this week, most people were once again bracing for more terrible news to come in.
This latest update however seems to suggest otherwise.
Dianna Russini of ESPN added to this report saying her sources suggest that this could be a “PCL injury” and could be just “a few weeks of recovery.”
Wilson strained his PCL last season and was forced to miss four weeks of action in the middle of 2021. Ultimately he came back from the injury better and stronger than ever finishing the season on a high note.
No injury is ever good news, but this is a far different dynamic than what it would’ve been if it was a season-ending injury.
Coach Saleh was effusive with his praise of veteran backup quarterback Joe Flacco saying in his mind, that he is still a starting quarterback.
It is a lot more feasible that Flacco could step in and hold the fort down for a few weeks to start the season versus carrying the torch for the entirety of the 2022 season.
